that the Purchaser seeks to set off shall remain in escrow until the resolution

any Escrow Shares under this Section 2.6, the Purchaser shall send to the Seller
a written notice setting forth with reasonable specificity the nature of the
claim, the amount claimed and any additional information reasonably necessary to
allow the Seller to evaluate the validity of the claim under the terms of this
Agreement. Following receipt of such written notice, the Seller shall have
thirty (30) calendar days to evaluate and, at its own expense and at no cost or
unreasonable burden to the Purchaser or its officers, directors, employees,
agents or Subsidiaries, investigate the merits of the claim. If the Seller fails
to deliver a written notice to the Purchaser challenging such claim within such
30-day period, and if the Seller does not pay such claim in cash, the parties
agree that the Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct from the Escrow Shares a
number of Escrow Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the entire unpaid
amount of such claim, or in the case of a violation of Section 8.7 of this
Agreement, all of Escrow Shares, such shares shall no longer be part of the
Escrow Shares and the Seller and LLC-1
8

shall have no further right, title or interest in or to such shares. In the
event that the Seller delivers to the Purchaser a written notice within such
30-day period challenging the validity or amount of such claim, the parties
agree to make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute through negotiation
within ten (10) days of the date on which such written notice is delivered to
the Purchaser. In the event that no resolution is reached within such 10-day
period (or such longer period as the parties agree to in writing), either party
may refer such dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 20 of this
Agreement. On the second anniversary of the Closing Date, one-half of the Escrow
Sale Shares and one-half of the Escrow Merger Shares shall be delivered to the
Seller and LLC-1, respectively, and on the fourth anniversary of the Closing
Date, the balance of the Escrow Sale Shares and the Escrow Merger Shares shall
be delivered to the Seller and LLC-1, respectively; provided, however, that the
Purchaser shall at all times retain a number of Escrow Shares with a Fair Market
Value equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of any amount that is in dispute
(or all of the Escrow Shares if the Fair Market Value of the Escrow Shares is
less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of such amount); provided further, that
as soon as reasonably possible following the resolution of any dispute, the
Purchaser shall deliver the Escrow Sale Shares and the Escrow Merger Shares
which were withheld in connection with such dispute but not set-off by the
Purchaser to the Seller and LLC-1, respectively. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 2.6(a), the Seller may, at its option, pay in
cash any amounts due to the Purchaser hereunder with respect to which the
Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to retain Escrow Shares.
(b) The Purchaser shall release to the Seller or LLC-1 any
Escrow Shares as to which the Seller or LLC-1 has delivered to the Purchaser
Substitute Collateral in an amount equal to $4.00 per Escrow Share. The
Purchaser shall hold and apply the Substitute Collateral in accordance with the
terms of Section 2.6(a) hereof as if the Substitute Collateral were the Escrow
Shares. Whenever the Purchaser is entitled to set-off the Escrow Shares or
release the Escrow Shares pursuant to Section 2.6(a), it shall set-off or
release either the Escrow Shares or the Substitute Collateral as directed by the
Seller.
(c) The Seller and LLC-1 shall be entitled to vote the Escrow
Sale Shares and the Escrow Merger Shares, respectively. Stock dividends paid
with respect to the Escrow Shares, if any, shall be treated as Escrow Shares and
shall be set-off or released when the Escrow Shares to which such dividends
relate are set-off or released. Cash dividends paid with respect to the Escrow
Shares, if any, shall be invested, at the option of the Seller, in a money
market fund or U.S. government securities and together with interest earned
thereon shall be held by the Purchaser and set-off or released when the Escrow
Shares to which the dividend relates are set-off or released.

be reduced to zero (0). In the event the Required Number of Directors as
calculated above is not a whole number, the Required Number of Directors shall
be rounded upwards to the nearest whole number. From and after the Closing Date,
the Purchaser agrees to take such action as may be necessary to (i) fix the
number of members of the PVI Board at not less than ten (10); (ii) nominate and
recommend for election the Required Number of Directors designated by the
Seller; (iii) as long as the Required Number of Directors is at least one (1),

the Corporation is a Subsidiary, (y) any entity which is a Subsidiary of the
Corporation and (z) any Subsidiary of the Purchaser as to which a member of the
PVI Board who is not a full-time employee of the Purchaser is then serving as a
director which Subsidiary is actively undertaking business or has conducted or
proposes to conduct any debt or equity financing other than with the Purchaser
or any of its Subsidiaries, one (1) individual designated by the Seller and at
any time when the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries owns a majority of the
voting securities of such entity cause the election as a director of such
designee at each annual meeting of shareholders of such entity, provided that
this subsection (iii) of this Section 7.1(a) shall not apply to the board of

a member of such board of directors; and (iv) as long as the Required Number of
Directors is at least one (1), appoint to such committees of the PVI Board as
the Seller shall request and the nominating committee shall approve, such

prior notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected. The Seller
Shall give notice to the Purchaser or its Subsidiary no later than 60 days prior
to such meeting of the persons designated by it as nominees for election as
directors. If the Seller fails to give notice to the Purchaser or its Subsidiary
as provided above, the designees of the Seller then serving as directors shall
be its designees for re-election. In the event a designee of the Seller is
unwilling or unable to serve as a director of a Subsidiary of the Purchaser or
on the PVI Board or a committee thereof, the Seller shall be entitled to
designate a replacement member as a director of such Subsidiary or to the PVI
Board or a committee thereof, as the case may be, which the Purchaser agrees to
recommend for election or appointment at any applicable meeting of the PVI Board
or shareholders of the Purchaser or such Subsidiary. All members of the Seller
Group shall vote all shares over which they exercise voting control in favor of
the designees of the Seller. If the shareholders of the Purchaser do not elect
the designee(s) of the Seller as director(s) of the Purchaser, the Purchaser
shall take all action required to increase the size of its Board of Directors by
the number of designees not elected and shall appoint such designees to fill
such newly-created directorships. The Seller agrees that it may not designate an
employee of the Purchaser or any Subsidiary of the Purchaser for election
33
34
to the board of directors of a Subsidiary of the Purchaser, the PVI Board, or
any committee thereof, unless such board of directors or the PVI Board already
contains an employee of the Purchaser other than the Chairman and the Chief
Executive Officer of the Purchaser. So long as the Required Number of Directors
is at least one (1), a designee of the Seller shall be entitled to receive
prompt notice of, and to attend, meetings of all committees of the PVI Board of
which a designee of the Seller is not a member.
(b) Advisory Group. On or prior to the Closing Date, the
Purchaser shall create an advisory committee of up to seven (7) persons, who are

management issues. Advisory committee members shall serve one year terms. The
Seller shall have the right to appoint two members to such advisory committee.
The initial designees of the Seller to such committee shall be Xxxxx Xxxx and
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx. The Purchaser shall cause such advisory committee to meet from
time to time, but no less often than quarterly, to discuss strategic worldwide
management issues.
(c) Insurance. Subject to availability on commercially
reasonable terms, the Purchaser shall undertake reasonable efforts to maintain
directors' and officers' liability insurance covering each of the individuals
designated by the Seller to the PVI Board or the board of directors of a
Subsidiary of the Purchaser in such amounts, and with such coverage, as is
consistent with the Purchaser's current practice.
(d) Indemnification. Subject to the following sentence of this
Section 7.1(d), the Purchaser's articles of incorporation, by-laws and other
organizational documents and those of any Subsidiary of the Purchaser to which
the Seller Group has the right to designate a director, shall at all times when
the Seller Group has such right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, provide
for indemnification of, advancement of expenses to, and limitation of the
personal liability of, the members of the PVI Board and the members of the
boards of directors or other similar managing bodies of such Purchaser's
Subsidiaries and such other persons, if any, who, pursuant to a provision of
such articles of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents,
exercise or perform any of the powers or duties otherwise conferred or imposed
upon members of the PVI Board or the boards of directors or other similar
managing bodies of such Purchaser's Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that the
Purchaser's certificate of incorporation as in effect on the date of this
Agreement does not contain such provisions and that amendment of such
certificate of incorporation to include such provision will require the approval
of the Purchaser's shareholders. The parties agree that the Purchaser's sole
obligation under this Section 7.1(d) with respect to such certificate of
incorporation is, subject to approval of the PVI Board, to submit, and recommend
approval of, an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to effect such a
provision to the meeting of shareholders referred to in Section 7.6 hereof and
if such amendment is approved, thereafter to comply with the provisions of this
Section 7.1(d) with respect to its certificate of incorporation. Unless
otherwise provided by law, such provisions may not be amended, repealed or
otherwise modified in any manner adverse to any member of the PVI Board or any
member of the boards of directors or other similar managing bodies of such
Purchaser's Subsidiaries as long as the Seller has a right to a designee without
the Seller's consent.

numerator of which is the number of shares of PVI Common Stock held by it on the
date of exercise of this right plus the number of shares of PVI Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or exchange of then outstanding convertible or

issuance (the "Sale Notice"). Each member of the Seller Group shall have twenty

its pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and
conditions specified in the Sale Notice by giving notice to the Purchaser
stating the quantity of New Securities to be so purchased ("Exercise Notice").

price at which the New Securities are sold by the Purchaser less (i)
commissions, discounts, brokers' or finder's fees or similar charges plus (ii)
one-half of any such commissions, discounts, brokers' or finder's fees or
similar charges which are imposed upon the sale of the New Securities to the
members of the Seller Group. If the price to be paid by the other purchasers of

cash-equivalents, the price to be paid by the members of the Seller Group shall
be calculated on the basis of the fair market value of such consideration as

of the Seller Group upon exercise of its rights hereunder shall take place at
such location, date and time as the parties shall agree but not later than

Purchaser shall deliver to each purchasing member of the Seller Group (i)
certificates representing all of the New Securities to be purchased, and (ii)

privileges to such purchasing member of the Seller Group as are being granted to
the other purchasers in such issuance. At the closing, the purchasing members of
the Seller Group shall deliver to the Purchaser (i) payment for the New
Securities, and (ii) such other agreements as are executed by the other
purchasers in such issuance which may include, without limitation,
representations by such purchasers to the Purchaser and agreements which
restrict such purchaser's rights with respect to the New Securities, and in any
event, at the request of the Purchaser, a duly executed certificate reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser containing such representations and warranties of
the purchasing member of the Seller Group with respect to federal and state
securities laws as the
35
36
Purchaser may reasonably request. The certificates representing the New
Securities may contain a legend stating that they are issued subject to the
registration requirements of the Act, as amended, and applicable state
securities laws.
(d) Each member of the Seller Group or its Permitted
Transferee may transfer at any time or from time to time its rights under

exercise a participation right as described in this Section 7.2 with respect to
any New Securities within the periods specified above, the Purchaser may, issue
the New Securities at a price and on terms and conditions no less favorable to
the Purchaser than those specified in the Sale Notice at any time within 90 days
of the failure to so exercise such rights.

the Corporation, LLC-2, LLC-3 or a member of the Seller Group is party and will
deliver at Closing all of the documents described in Section 5.9 hereof, subject
only to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section
6 hereof. The Seller will refrain from taking any action that would cause any
representation or warranty made herein to be untrue or materially misleading or
cause any condition to Closing set forth in Section 5 hereof to fail to be
satisfied.
9. Indemnification; Additional and Special Remedies.
42
43
9.1 Indemnification. Subject to the limitations and other
provisions of this Section 9, each member of the Seller Group shall, with
respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by it
herein, indemnify, defend and hold the Purchaser and its officers, employees,
agents and Affiliates (the "Purchaser Indemnitees") harmless against all
liability, loss or damage, together with all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and
expenses related thereto (including legal and accounting fees and expenses)
("Damages"), arising from the untruth, inaccuracy, breach of or failure to
perform any such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the
Seller or its Affiliates. The Purchaser shall, with respect to the
representations, warrants, covenants and agreements made by it herein,
indemnify, defend and hold the members of the Seller Group and their respective
officers, employees, agents and Affiliates (the "Seller Indemnitees") harmless
against all Damages arising from the untruth, inaccuracy, breach of or failure
to perform any such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the
Purchaser or its Affiliates. The party or parties being indemnified are referred
to herein as "Indemnitee" and the indemnifying party is referred to as the
"Indemnitor."
(b) If the matter with respect to which the Indemnitee seeks
indemnification involves a claim asserted against the Indemnitee by a third
party, promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of
any action, it will notify the Indemnitor in writing of the commencement thereof
but the omission so to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor
from any liability which it may have to the Indemnitee unless the Indemnitor is
prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against
the Indemnitee and it shall notify the Indemnitor of the commencement thereof,
the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it
may wish to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the
Indemnitee, and after notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee of its
election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to
the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnitee
shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal
defenses in accordance with the proviso to this sentence, (ii) the Indemnitor
shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the
Indemnitee within a reasonable time, (iii) the Indemnitor and its counsel do not
actively and vigorously pursue the defense of such action, or (iv) the
Indemnitor has authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnitee at the
expense of the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the
right to employ counsel to represent it if, in its reasonable judgment, it is
advisable for it to be represented by separate counsel because separate defenses
are available, or because a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnitee
and the Indemnitor in respect to such claim, and in such event the fees and
expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitor. In such
circumstance, the Indemnitee shall designate the counsel. The Indemnitor will
not be liable to the Indemnitee for any settlement of any action or claim
without the consent of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor may not unreasonably
withhold its consent to any settlement. The Indemnitor will not consent to entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise any claim which does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a full release from all liability with respect to
such claim or litigation.
(c) The Purchaser will have no obligation to indemnify any
Seller Indemnitee, and no member of the Seller Group will have any obligation to
indemnify any
43
44
Purchaser Indemnitee, in respect of any breach of Sections 4 or 3 of this
Agreement, as the case may be, as set forth in this Section 9.1 until the Seller
Indemnitees or the Purchaser Indemnitees, as the case may be, have suffered
Damages by reason of all such breaches in excess of a One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000.00) aggregate threshold (at which point the Indemnitor will be
obligated to indemnify the Purchaser or the Seller Group, as the case may be,
from and against all such Damages in excess of such $100,000).
9.2 Limitation on Remedies. Except as provided in Section 9.3
hereof, the Purchaser's sole remedy for indemnification or for any violation of
this Agreement or any Officers' Certificate or other instrument delivered in
connection herewith by a member of the Seller Group shall be to retain all or a
portion of the Escrow Shares or Substitute Collateral as provided in Section 2.6
hereof. The Purchaser shall have no other recourse to, and shall not bring any
action against, the members of the Seller Group or their assets and shall have
no rights of set-off against any liability or obligation owed to any member of
the Seller Group in respect of any such violation.
9.3 Additional Remedies. In addition to any other available
remedies under applicable law or the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser
shall have the following remedies in the event that any member of the Seller
Group breaches Section 8.6 of this Agreement:
(a) Each member of the Seller Group hereby grants to the chief
executive officer of the Purchaser an irrevocable proxy to vote all shares of
PVI Common Stock purchased by it in violation of Section 8.6 of this Agreement;
and
(b) The Purchaser shall have the right to purchase all or a
portion of the shares of PVI Common Stock acquired by any member of the Seller
Group in violation of Section 8.6 of this Agreement. The price to be paid by the
Purchaser for each such share of PVI Common Stock shall be paid in cash (or in
other immediately available funds) and shall be equal to the par value of such
share of PVI Common Stock. In the event that the Purchaser elects to exercise
its right to purchase the shares of PVI Common Stock pursuant to this Section
9.3(b), the Purchaser shall deliver to the relevant member of the Seller Group a
notice (the "Call Notice") specifying the aggregate number of shares of PVI
Common Stock the Purchaser shall purchase and a date, not less than fifteen (15)
nor more than sixty (60) days from the date of the Call Notice, for the closing
of the transaction.
9.4 Special Remedies. If the Purchaser shall fail to comply
with its obligations under Section 7.1 of this Agreement and such failure is not
cured within ten (10) days after notice of such failure from Seller, then,
notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents to the contrary, at the end of such ten (10) day period (i) the
obligations of the members of the Seller Group pursuant to Section 8.7 hereof
and comparable obligations in the other Transaction Documents shall terminate,
(ii) the Purchaser shall release to the Seller one-half of the Escrow Shares
then held in escrow, (iii) all Sale PVI Warrants, Merger PVI Warrants and stock
options subject to the stock option agreements described in Section 6.16 hereof
which are not then vested shall vest, (iv) the five percent (5%)/650,000 share
limitation on sales within a thirty (30) day period imposed by Section 8.5 shall
terminate, and (v) the Holder or Holders (as defined in the registration rights
agreement
44
45
included in the Transaction Documents) shall be entitled to demand registration
of their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 of such registration
rights agreement and such demand shall not count as one of the Demand
Registrations to which such Holders are entitled under such registration rights
agreement. If the Purchaser is unable to perform its obligations under Section
7.1 as a result of an order of a court or administrative agency or a rule or
regulation of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the PVI
Common Stock is then listed, then the remedies provided in this Section 9.4
shall be the sole remedies for the Purchaser's failure to perform its
obligations under Section 7.1 hereof. Except as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, the remedies in this Section 9.4 shall be in addition to any
other remedies which the Seller Group may have at law or in equity as a result
of the Purchaser's failure to comply with its obligations under Section 7.1 of
this Agreement.
9.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the
representations and warranties of the Seller, the LLCs, and the Purchaser and
Newco contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing (even if the damaged
party knew or had reason to know of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty
at the time of Closing) and continue in full force and effect for a period of
fourteen (14) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i)
notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations in Section 3.7 and 4.8 shall
survive the Closing until the end of the statute of limitations period under
applicable law, and (ii) if, at any time prior to the expiration of the period
of survival of a representation and warranty, an Indemnitee delivers to the
Indemnitor a notice pursuant to Section 9.1(b) asserting a claim for
indemnification based on a breach in or an alleged breach of such representation
and warranty, then such claim shall survive the expiration of such
representation and warranty until such time as such claim is fully and finally
resolved.
10 Termination. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:
10.1 Mutual Consent. By mutual written consent of the
Purchaser and the Seller;
10.2 Cut-Off Date . By the Purchaser or the Seller upon five

(5) days' notice to the other if any of the conditions specified in this

becomes impossible (other than through the failure of the other party to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement); or
45
46
10.5 Tax Liability. By the Purchaser or the Seller upon five
(5) days' notice to the other if it determines that it or its Affiliates will be
subject to a tax liability in excess of $500,000 as a result of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby and the other party does not agree to
assume and be responsible for such tax liability on a full, after-tax basis.
11. Fees and Expenses. Each party shall be responsible for payment of
its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, provided that if this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.4 because the transactions contemplated
hereby have not been approved by the holders of the PVI Common Stock, the
Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby upon delivery of invoices in form reasonably
acceptable to the Purchaser and provided further that if the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Corporation shall be responsible for
payment of the fees and expenses of the Seller and the Designated Parties
incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby. If this Agreement is terminated by a party pursuant to Section 10.3 or
if the Closing does not occur because of the breach or default of a party, the
terminating or non-defaulting party shall be reimbursed by the other party for
its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby upon
delivery of invoices in form reasonably acceptable to the reimbursing party. The
Purchaser, at its sole election, may make any reimbursement which it is required
to make pursuant to this Section 11 in shares of PVI Common Stock having a Fair
Market Value equal to the amount of the required reimbursement at the time such
reimbursement is made.

bind and inure to the benefit of (a) the members of the Seller Group, (b) the
Purchaser, (c) Newco and (d) their respective successors and assigns, including

Purchaser as the result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of substantially
all of the Purchaser's assets or similar transaction. In that connection, all
references herein to the securities of the Purchaser, or any class thereof, or
any options, rights or warrants in respect thereof, shall include the
securities, or any class thereof, or any options, rights or warrants in respect
thereof, of any Person who is a successor to the Purchaser. No party may assign
its rights under this Agreement without the consent of the other, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that either of the Purchaser or
Newco may at any time prior to the Closing assign its rights under Section 2
hereof to any of its Affiliates if the Purchaser guarantees the performance of
the obligations hereunder by such Person and provided further that a member of
the Seller Group may assign its rights under this Agreement at any time to any
Permitted Transferee who has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement which are binding upon members of the Seller Group.

the other writings referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto which form a

surrendered.

"Act"), including such shares is currently in effect, or (ii) in the opinion of

shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The
Company covenants that all shares of capital stock which shall be issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof, and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each
national securities exchange or automated over-the-counter trading system, if
any, on which the other shares of such outstanding capital stock of the Company
are then listed.
5. Loss or Mutilation
Upon receipt by the Company of reasonable evidence of the
ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, the Company
shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate representing
an equal number of Warrants.
6. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of
Shares Deliverable
6.1 The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
of each Warrant and the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall
be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock through stock split or
otherwise, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its
Common Stock (including any reclassification in connection with a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) other securities
of the Company, the number and/or nature of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or
other securities of the Company which he would have owned or have been entitled
to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such
Warrant
3
61
been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record
date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a)
shall become effective retroactively as of the record date of such event.
(b) In the event of any capital reorganization or any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or in case of the
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock are not converted into or exchanged for other rights or interests), or in
the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition to another corporation of
all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company (any such
event, a "Triggering Event"), the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase (and it shall be a condition to the consummation of any
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
other disposition that appropriate provisions shall be made so that such Holder
shall thereafter be entitled to purchase) the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised immediately prior to
the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or other disposition; and in any such case appropriate
adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 6
with respect to rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of the Warrants to
the end that the provisions of this Article 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as
near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property
thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The provisions of this
Section 6.1(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other
dispositions.
(c) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the
Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
so purchasable immediately thereafter.
6.2 No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
under the Warrants, or in the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares,
shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease
of at least 1% in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
such Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this Section 6.2 are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
All final results of adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and the
Purchase Price thereof shall be rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a share
or the nearest cent, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 6 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be
required, to make such changes in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of each Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof, in addition to
those required by such Section, as it in its discretion shall determine to be
advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock,
subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common
4
62
Stock, issuance of rights, warrants or options to purchase Common Stock, or
distribution of shares of stock other than Common Stock, evidences of
indebtedness or assets (other than distributions of cash out of retained
earnings) or convertible or exchangeable securities hereafter made by the
Company to the holders of its Common Stock shall not result in any tax to the
holders of its Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock.
6.3 Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant or the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares is
adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at the
address of the Holder shown on the books of the Company, a notice of such
adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Board,
Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company, which sets forth the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Purchase
Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was
made.
6.4 The Company shall give notice to the Holder by registered
mail, if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the
Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:
(a) The Company shall authorize the payment of any dividend
payable in any securities upon shares of Common Stock or authorize the making of
any distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock;
(b) The Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of
Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or any of any other
subscription rights, options or warrants;
(c) A dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company
(other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of
the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or
(d) A capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock
and other than a change in the par value of the Common Stock) or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change of Common
Stock outstanding) or any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially an entirety.
Such giving of notice shall be initiated at least 10 business days prior to the
date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the
Company's stock transfer books for the determination of the shareholders
entitled to such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or for the
determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such
notice shall specify such record date or the date of the closing of the stock
transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide
5
63
such notice shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with
such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
7. Conversion Rights
7.1 In lieu of exercise of any portion of the Warrants as
provided in Section 2.1 hereof, the Warrants represented by this Warrant
Certificate (or any portion thereof) may, at the election of the Holder, be
converted into the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock equal to: (1)
the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants to be so converted and (b) the excess, if any, of (i)
the Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2) with respect
to the date of conversion over (ii) the Purchase Price in effect on the business
day next preceding the date of conversion, divided by (2) the Market Price Per
Share with respect to the date of conversion. For example, if the Market Price
per Share on the date of conversion is $4.00 and the Purchase Price is $2.00,
then the Holder would be entitled to receive 15,000 shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of 30,000 Warrants.
7.2 The conversion rights provided under this Section 7 may be
exercised in whole or in part and at any time and from time to time while any
Warrants remain outstanding. In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the
Holder shall surrender to the Company, at its offices, this Warrant Certificate
accompanied by a duly completed Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B. The Warrants (or so much thereof as shall have been surrendered
for conversion) shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the
close of business on the day of surrender of such Warrant Certificate for
conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions. As promptly as
practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall issue and shall
deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled as a result of
the conversion, and (ii) if the Warrant Certificate is being converted in part
only, a new certificate of like tenor and date for the balance of the
unconverted portion of the Warrant Certificate.
8. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company
The Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of
the Warrants, reduce the then current Purchase Price to any amount deemed
appropriate by the Board and/or extend the date of the expiration of the
Warrants.
9. Fractional Shares and Warrants; Determination of Market
Price Per Share
9.1 Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of Common
Stock in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Warrants may not be exercised
in such number as would result (except for the provisions of this paragraph) in
the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock unless
6
64
the Holder is exercising all Warrants then owned by the Holder. In such event,
the Company shall, upon the exercise of all of such Warrants, issue to the
Holder the largest aggregate whole number of shares of Common Stock called for
thereby upon receipt of the Purchase Price for all of such Warrants and pay a
sum in cash equal to the remaining fraction of a share of Common Stock,
multiplied by its Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2
below) as of the last business day preceding the date on which the Warrants are
presented for exercise.
9.2 As used herein, the "Market Price Per Share" with respect
to any class or series of Common Stock on any date shall mean the average
closing price per share of Company's Common Stock for the 20 trading days
immediately preceding such date. The closing price for each such day shall be
the last sale price regular way or, in case no such sale takes place on such
day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case
on the principal securities exchange on which the shares of such Common Stock of
the Company are listed or admitted to trading or, if applicable, the last sale
price, or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices of such Common Stock on NASDAQ or any comparable system, or
if such Common Stock is not reported on NASDAQ, or a comparable system, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by two members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by
the Company for that purpose. If such bid and asked prices are not available,
then "Market Price Per Share" shall be equal to the fair market value of such
Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board.
10. Parallel Warrants
Exhibit C attached hereto sets forth a list of warrants
previously issued by the Company (the "Parallel Warrants"). If a Parallel
Warrant or any portion thereof is amended or forfeited other than in bona fide
consideration of services to be rendered to the Company by the holder thereof
with the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, then a pro rata portion
of the Warrants shall be similarly amended or forfeited at the option of the
Holder upon payment by the Holder to the Company of such consideration, if any,
as is paid to the Company by the holder of the Parallel Warrant in connection
with such amendment or upon payment by the Company to the Holder of such
consideration, if any, as is paid to the holder of the Parallel Warrant by the
Company. If the consideration paid by or to the holder of the Parallel Warrant
is in a form other than cash or cash-equivalents, the consideration to be paid
by or to the Holder shall be calculated on the basis of the fair market value of
such consideration as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company's Board
of Directors. If no consideration is paid in connection with such amendment or
forfeiture, the Warrant shall, at the option of the Holder, be amended or
forfeited in the same fashion as the Parallel Warrant. The Company shall give
the Holder prompt written notice at its address reflected on the records of the
Company of any amendment or forfeiture referred to in this Section 10. As used
herein, "pro rata portion" shall mean a number of Warrants equal to the
aggregate number of Warrants then represented by this Certificate multiplied by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of the Parallel Warrants so being amended or expiring and the
denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares then issuable upon the
exercise of the Parallel Warrants.

WARRANT CERTIFICATE
This warrant certificate ("Warrant Certificate") certifies
that for value received in consideration for certain services rendered, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, _________________________ or registered permitted assigns (the
"Holder") is the owner of the number of warrants ("Warrants") specified above,
each of which entitles the Holder thereof to purchase, at any time on or before
the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined), one fully paid and non-assessable
share of Common Stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), of Princeton Video Image,
Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), at a purchase price of $_______
per share of Common Stock in lawful money of the United States of America in
cash or by certified or cashier's check or a combination of cash and certified
or cashier's check (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided).
1. Warrant; Purchase Price
Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder initially to purchase
one share of Common Stock of the Company and the purchase price payable upon
exercise of the Warrants (the "Purchase Price") shall initially be $_______ per
share of Common Stock. The Purchase Price and number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment as provided in
Article 6. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
(and/or other shares of common stock so issuable by reason of any adjustments
pursuant to Article 6) are sometimes referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares."
2. Exercise; Expiration Date
2.1 The Warrants shall vest and become exercisable on the
Commencement Date (as defined in the warrant identified on Exhibit C hereto) and
upon such vesting shall be exercisable, at the option of the Holder, in whole or
in part at any time and from time to time on
1
69
or after the date hereof and on or before the Expiration Date, upon surrender of
this Warrant Certificate to the Company together with a duly completed Notice of
Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and payment of an amount
equal to the Purchase Price times the number of Warrants to be exercised.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Transaction
Documents (as such term is defined under the Reorganization Agreement referred
to herein), if the Purchaser (as such term is defined under the Reorganization
Agreement referred to herein) shall fail to comply with its obligations under
Section 7.1 of the Reorganization Agreement dated as of December ___, 2000 among
Presencia en Medios, S.A., Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Presence
in Media LLC, Virtual Advertisement LLC, PVI LA, LLC, the Company and Princeton
Video Image Latin America, LLC, and such failure is not cured within ten (10)
days after notice of such failure from the Holder or any member of the Seller
Group (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement referred to herein), then at
the end of such ten (10) day period, the Warrants shall automatically vest and
become exercisable. In the case of exercise of less than all the Warrants
represented by this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel the Warrant
Certificate upon the surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant Certificate for the balance of such Warrants.
2.2 The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 5:00 p.m. New York
time on the third anniversary of the Commencement Date.
3. Registration and Transfer on Company Books
3.1 The Company shall maintain books for the registration and
transfer of the Warrants and the registration and transfer of the Warrant
Shares.
3.2 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of
this Warrant Certificate, or the Warrant Shares, the Company may deem and treat
the registered Holder as the absolute owner thereof.
3.3 Neither this Warrant Certificate, nor the Warrants
represented hereby, may be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred voluntarily
by the Holder, other than to a Permitted Transferee (a "Permitted Transfer"),
without the consent of the Company. As used herein, the following terms shall
have the following definitions. "Affiliate" shall mean a Person that directly,
or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by,
or is under common control with, another Person. "Permitted Transferee" means
(i) the Holder and its Affiliates, (ii) any direct or indirect equity holder of
any Person referred to in clause (i) and any Affiliate of one or more of such
equity holders, and (iii) in the case of any of the foregoing Persons in clause
(ii) who is an individual, Permitted Transferee shall include such individual's
immediate family, trusts solely or primarily for the benefit of such person or
such person's immediate family member, and corporations, partnerships, limited
liability companies or other entities in which such individual or such
individual's family members and/or trusts are the majority equity holders as the
case may be. For this purpose, "immediate family" of a person means the person's
spouse, parents, children, adopted children, stepchildren and grandchildren.
"Person" shall mean and include an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a
trust, an
2
70
unincorporated organization, a limited liability company, a joint stock
corporation, a joint venture, a government or any department, agency or
political subdivision thereof and any other entity. The Company shall register
upon its books any Permitted Transfer of a Warrant Certificate, upon surrender
of same to the Company with a written instrument of transfer duly executed by
the registered Holder or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such
registration of Permitted Transfer, new Warrant Certificate(s) shall be issued
to the transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be canceled
by the Company. A Warrant Certificate may also be exchanged, at the option of
the Holder, for new Warrant Certificates of different denominations representing
in the aggregate the number of Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate
surrendered.
3.4 No sale, transfer, assignment, hypothecation or other
disposition of the Warrant Shares shall be made unless any such transfer,
assignment or other disposition will comply with the rules and statutes
administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and
(i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), including such shares is currently in effect, or (ii) in the opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Company a current registration statement is not
required for such disposition of the shares.
4. Reservation of Shares
The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized capital stock, solely for the purpose of
issue upon exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of capital stock as
shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The
Company covenants that all shares of capital stock which shall be issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof, and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each
national securities exchange or automated over-the-counter trading system, if
any, on which the other shares of such outstanding capital stock of the Company
are then listed.
5. Loss or Mutilation
Upon receipt by the Company of reasonable evidence of the
ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, the Company
shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate representing
an equal number of Warrants.
6. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of
Shares Deliverable
6.1 The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
of each Warrant and the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall
be subject to adjustment as follows:
3
71
(a) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock through stock split or
otherwise, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its
Common Stock (including any reclassification in connection with a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) other securities
of the Company, the number and/or nature of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or
other securities of the Company which he would have owned or have been entitled
to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such
Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any
record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph
(a) shall become effective retroactively as of the record date of such event.
(b) In the event of any capital reorganization or any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or in case of the
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock are not converted into or exchanged for other rights or interests), or in
the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition to another corporation of
all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company (any such
event, a "Triggering Event"), the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase (and it shall be a condition to the consummation of any
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
other disposition that appropriate provisions shall be made so that such Holder
shall thereafter be entitled to purchase) the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised immediately prior to
the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or other disposition; and in any such case appropriate
adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 6
with respect to rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of the Warrants to
the end that the provisions of this Article 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as
near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property
thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The provisions of this
Section 6.1(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other
dispositions.
(c) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the
Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
so purchasable immediately thereafter.
6.2 No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
under the Warrants, or in the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares,
shall be required unless
4
72
such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant, or in the
Purchase Price thereof; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason
of this Section 6.2 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All final results of
adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and the Purchase Price thereof shall
be rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a share or the nearest cent, as the
case may be. Anything in this Section 6 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to make such changes in
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant, or
in the Purchase Price thereof, in addition to those required by such Section, as
it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any dividend
or distribution in shares of Common Stock, subdivision, reclassification or
combination of shares of Common Stock, issuance of rights, warrants or options
to purchase Common Stock, or distribution of shares of stock other than Common
Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than distributions of cash out
of retained earnings) or convertible or exchangeable securities hereafter made
by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock shall not result in any tax to
the holders of its Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock.
6.3 Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant or the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares is
adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at the
address of the Holder shown on the books of the Company, a notice of such
adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Board,
Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company, which sets forth the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Purchase
Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was
made.
6.4 The Company shall give notice to the Holder by registered
mail, if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the
Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:
(a) The Company shall authorize the payment of any dividend
payable in any securities upon shares of Common Stock or authorize the making of
any distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock;
(b) The Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of
Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or any of any other
subscription rights, options or warrants;
(c) A dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company
(other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of
the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or
(d) A capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock
and other than a change in the par value of the Common Stock) or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
5
73
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification
or change of Common Stock outstanding) or any sale or conveyance to another
corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially an
entirety.
Such giving of notice shall be initiated at least 10 business days prior to the
date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the
Company's stock transfer books for the determination of the shareholders
entitled to such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or for the
determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such
notice shall specify such record date or the date of the closing of the stock
transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide such notice shall not
affect the validity of any action taken in connection with such dividend,
distribution or subscription rights, or proposed merger, consolidation, sale,
conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
7. Conversion Rights
7.1 In lieu of exercise of any portion of the Warrants as
provided in Section 2.1 hereof, the Warrants represented by this Warrant
Certificate (or any portion thereof) may, at the election of the Holder, be
converted into the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock equal to: (1)
the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants to be so converted and (b) the excess, if any, of (i)
the Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2) with respect
to the date of conversion over (ii) the Purchase Price in effect on the business
day next preceding the date of conversion, divided by (2) the Market Price Per
Share with respect to the date of conversion. For example, if the Market Price
per Share on the date of conversion is $4.00 and the Purchase Price is $2.00,
then the Holder would be entitled to receive 15,000 shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of 30,000 Warrants.
7.2 The conversion rights provided under this Section 7 may be
exercised in whole or in part and at any time and from time to time while any
Warrants remain outstanding. In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the
Holder shall surrender to the Company, at its offices, this Warrant Certificate
accompanied by a duly completed Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B. The Warrants (or so much thereof as shall have been surrendered
for conversion) shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the
close of business on the day of surrender of such Warrant Certificate for
conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions. As promptly as
practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall issue and shall
deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled as a result of
the conversion, and (ii) if the Warrant Certificate is being converted in part
only, a new certificate of like tenor and date for the balance of the
unconverted portion of the Warrant Certificate.
8. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company
6
74
The Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of
the Warrants, reduce the then current Purchase Price to any amount deemed
appropriate by the Board and/or extend the date of the expiration of the
Warrants.
9. Fractional Shares and Warrants; Determination of
Market Price Per Share
9.1 Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of Common
Stock in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Warrants may not be exercised
in such number as would result (except for the provisions of this paragraph) in
the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock unless the Holder is
exercising all Warrants then owned by the Holder. In such event, the Company
shall, upon the exercise of all of such Warrants, issue to the Holder the
largest aggregate whole number of shares of Common Stock called for thereby upon
receipt of the Purchase Price for all of such Warrants and pay a sum in cash
equal to the remaining fraction of a share of Common Stock, multiplied by its
Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2 below) as of the
last business day preceding the date on which the Warrants are presented for
exercise.
9.2 As used herein, the "Market Price Per Share" with respect
to any class or series of Common Stock on any date shall mean the average
closing price per share of Company's Common Stock for the 20 trading days
immediately preceding such date. The closing price for each such day shall be
the last sale price regular way or, in case no such sale takes place on such
day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case
on the principal securities exchange on which the shares of such Common Stock of
the Company are listed or admitted to trading or, if applicable, the last sale
price, or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices of such Common Stock on NASDAQ or any comparable system, or
if such Common Stock is not reported on NASDAQ, or a comparable system, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by two members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by
the Company for that purpose. If such bid and asked prices are not available,
then "Market Price Per Share" shall be equal to the fair market value of such
Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board.
10. Certain Amendments
If the warrant identified on Exhibit C attached hereto (the "Parallel
Warrant") or any portion thereof is amended or forfeited other than in bona fide
consideration of services to be rendered to the Company by the holder thereof
with the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, then an equal portion of
the Warrants shall be similarly amended or forfeited at the option of the Holder
upon payment by the Holder to the Company of such consideration, if any, as is
paid to the Company by the holder of the Parallel Warrant in connection with
such amendment or upon payment by the Company to the Holder of such
consideration, if any, as is paid to the holder of the Parallel Warrant by the
Company. If the consideration paid by or to the holder of the Parallel Warrant
is in a form other than cash or cash-equivalents, the consideration to be paid
by or to the Holder shall be calculated on the basis of the fair market value of
such
7
75
consideration as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors. If no consideration is paid in connection with such amendment or
forfeiture, the Warrant shall, at the option of the Holder, be amended or
forfeited in the same fashion as the Parallel Warrant. The Company shall give
the Holder prompt written notice at its address reflected on the records of the
Company of any amendment or forfeiture referred to in this Section 10.
11. Governing Law
This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

PRINCETON VIDEO IMAGE, INC.
WARRANT CERTIFICATE
This warrant certificate ("Warrant Certificate") certifies
that for value received in consideration for certain services rendered, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, _________________________ or registered permitted assigns (the
"Holder") is the owner of the number of warrants ("Warrants") specified above,
each of which entitles the Holder thereof to purchase, at any time on or before
the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined), one fully paid and non-assessable
share of Common Stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), of Princeton Video Image,
Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), at a purchase price of $_______
per share of Common Stock in lawful money of the United States of America in
cash or by certified or cashier's check or a combination of cash and certified
or cashier's check (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided).
1. Warrant; Purchase Price
Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder initially to purchase
one share of Common Stock of the Company and the purchase price payable upon
exercise of the Warrants (the "Purchase Price") shall initially be $_______ per
share of Common Stock. The Purchase Price and number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment as provided in
Article 6. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
(and/or other shares of common stock so issuable by reason of any adjustments
pursuant to Article 6) are sometimes referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares."
2. Exercise; Expiration Date
2.1 The Warrants are exercisable, at the option of the Holder,
in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or after the date
hereof and on or before the Expiration Date, upon surrender of this Warrant
Certificate to the Company together with a duly completed
1
81
Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and payment of an
amount equal to the Purchase Price times the number of Warrants to be exercised.
In the case of exercise of less than all the Warrants represented by this
Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel the Warrant Certificate upon the
surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate for
the balance of such Warrants.
2.2 The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 5:00 p.m. New York
time on _______________.
3. Registration and Transfer on Company Books
3.1 The Company shall maintain books for the registration and
transfer of the Warrants and the registration and transfer of the Warrant
Shares.
3.2 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of
this Warrant Certificate, or the Warrant Shares, the Company may deem and treat
the registered Holder as the absolute owner thereof.
3.3 Neither this Warrant Certificate, nor the Warrants
represented hereby, may be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred voluntarily
by the Holder, other than to a Permitted Transferee (a "Permitted Transfer"),
without the consent of the Company. As used herein, the following terms shall
have the following definitions. "Affiliate" shall mean a Person that directly,
or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by,
or is under common control with, another Person. "Permitted Transferee" means
(i) the Holder and its Affiliates, (ii) any direct or indirect equity holder of
any Person referred to in clause (i) and any Affiliate of one or more of such
equity holders, and (iii) in the case of any of the foregoing Persons in clause
(ii) who is an individual, Permitted Transferee shall include such individual's
immediate family, trusts solely or primarily for the benefit of such person or
such person's immediate family member, and corporations, partnerships, limited
liability companies or other entities in which such individual or such
individual's family members and/or trusts are the majority equity holders as the
case may be. For this purpose, "immediate family" of a person means the person's
spouse, parents, children, adopted children, stepchildren and grandchildren.
"Person" shall mean and include an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a
trust, an unincorporated organization, a limited liability company, a joint
stock corporation, a joint venture, a government or any department, agency or
political subdivision thereof and any other entity. The Company shall register
upon its books any Permitted Transfer of a Warrant Certificate, upon surrender
of same to the Company with a written instrument of transfer duly executed by
the registered Holder or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such
registration of Permitted Transfer, new Warrant Certificate(s) shall be issued
to the transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be canceled
by the Company. A Warrant Certificate may also be exchanged, at the option of
the Holder, for new Warrant Certificates of different denominations representing
in the aggregate the number of Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate
surrendered.
2
82
3.4 No sale, transfer, assignment, hypothecation or other
disposition of the Warrant Shares shall be made unless any such transfer,
assignment or other disposition will comply with the rules and statutes
administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and
(i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), including such shares is currently in effect, or (ii) in the opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Company a current registration statement is not
required for such disposition of the shares.
4. Reservation of Shares
The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized capital stock, solely for the purpose of
issue upon exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of capital stock as
shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The
Company covenants that all shares of capital stock which shall be issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof, and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each
national securities exchange or automated over-the-counter trading system, if
any, on which the other shares of such outstanding capital stock of the Company
are then listed.
5. Loss or Mutilation
Upon receipt by the Company of reasonable evidence of the
ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, the Company
shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate representing
an equal number of Warrants.
6. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Shares
Deliverable
6.1 The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
of each Warrant and the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall
be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock through stock split or
otherwise, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its
Common Stock (including any reclassification in connection with a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) other securities
of the Company, the number and/or nature of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or
other securities of the Company which he would have owned or have been entitled
to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such
Warrant
3
83
been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record
date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a)
shall become effective retroactively as of the record date of such event.
(b) In the event of any capital reorganization or any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or in case of the
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock are not converted into or exchanged for other rights or interests), or in
the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition to another corporation of
all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company (any such
event, a "Triggering Event"), the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase (and it shall be a condition to the consummation of any
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
other disposition that appropriate provisions shall be made so that such Holder
shall thereafter be entitled to purchase) the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised immediately prior to
the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or other disposition; and in any such case appropriate
adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 6
with respect to rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of the Warrants to
the end that the provisions of this Article 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as
near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property
thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The provisions of this
Section 6.1(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other
dispositions.
(c) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the
Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
so purchasable immediately thereafter.
6.2 No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
under the Warrants, or in the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares,
shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease
of at least 1% in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
such Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this Section 6.2 are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
All final results of adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and the
Purchase Price thereof shall be rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a share
or the nearest cent, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 6 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be
required, to make such changes in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of each Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof, in addition to
those required by such Section, as it in its discretion shall determine to be
advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock,
subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common
4
84
Stock, issuance of rights, warrants or options to purchase Common Stock, or
distribution of shares of stock other than Common Stock, evidences of
indebtedness or assets (other than distributions of cash out of retained
earnings) or convertible or exchangeable securities hereafter made by the
Company to the holders of its Common Stock shall not result in any tax to the
holders of its Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock.
6.3 Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant or the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares is
adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at the
address of the Holder shown on the books of the Company, a notice of such
adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Board,
Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company, which sets forth the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Purchase
Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was
made.
6.4 The Company shall give notice to the Holder by registered
mail, if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the
Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:
(a) The Company shall authorize the payment of any dividend
payable in any securities upon shares of Common Stock or authorize the making of
any distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock;
(b) The Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of
Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or any of any other
subscription rights, options or warrants;
(c) A dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company
(other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of
the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or
(d) A capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock
and other than a change in the par value of the Common Stock) or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change of Common
Stock outstanding) or any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially an entirety.
Such giving of notice shall be initiated at least 10 business days prior to the
date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the
Company's stock transfer books for the determination of the shareholders
entitled to such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or for the
determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such
notice shall specify such record date or the date of the closing of the stock
transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide
5
85
such notice shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with
such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
7. Conversion Rights
7.1 In lieu of exercise of any portion of the Warrants as
provided in Section 2.1 hereof, the Warrants represented by this Warrant
Certificate (or any portion thereof) may, at the election of the Holder, be
converted into the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock equal to: (1)
the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants to be so converted and (b) the excess, if any, of (i)
the Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2) with respect
to the date of conversion over (ii) the Purchase Price in effect on the business
day next preceding the date of conversion, divided by (2) the Market Price Per
Share with respect to the date of conversion. For example, if the Market Price
per Share on the date of conversion is $4.00 and the Purchase Price is $2.00,
then the Holder would be entitled to receive 15,000 shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of 30,000 Warrants.
7.2 The conversion rights provided under this Section 7 may be
exercised in whole or in part and at any time and from time to time while any
Warrants remain outstanding. In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the
Holder shall surrender to the Company, at its offices, this Warrant Certificate
accompanied by a duly completed Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B. The Warrants (or so much thereof as shall have been surrendered
for conversion) shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the
close of business on the day of surrender of such Warrant Certificate for
conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions. As promptly as
practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall issue and shall
deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled as a result of
the conversion, and (ii) if the Warrant Certificate is being converted in part
only, a new certificate of like tenor and date for the balance of the
unconverted portion of the Warrant Certificate.
8. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company
The Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of
the Warrants, reduce the then current Purchase Price to any amount deemed
appropriate by the Board and/or extend the date of the expiration of the
Warrants.
9. Fractional Shares and Warrants; Determination of
Market Price Per Share
9.1 Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of Common
Stock in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Warrants may not be exercised
in such number as would result (except for the provisions of this paragraph) in
the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock unless
6
86
the Holder is exercising all Warrants then owned by the Holder. In such event,
the Company shall, upon the exercise of all of such Warrants, issue to the
Holder the largest aggregate whole number of shares of Common Stock called for
thereby upon receipt of the Purchase Price for all of such Warrants and pay a
sum in cash equal to the remaining fraction of a share of Common Stock,
multiplied by its Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2
below) as of the last business day preceding the date on which the Warrants are
presented for exercise.
9.2 As used herein, the "Market Price Per Share" with respect
to any class or series of Common Stock on any date shall mean the average
closing price per share of Company's Common Stock for the 20 trading days
immediately preceding such date. The closing price for each such day shall be
the last sale price regular way or, in case no such sale takes place on such
day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case
on the principal securities exchange on which the shares of such Common Stock of
the Company are listed or admitted to trading or, if applicable, the last sale
price, or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices of such Common Stock on NASDAQ or any comparable system, or
if such Common Stock is not reported on NASDAQ, or a comparable system, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by two members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by
the Company for that purpose. If such bid and asked prices are not available,
then "Market Price Per Share" shall be equal to the fair market value of such
Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board.
10. Governing Law
This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

or is under common control with, another Person. "Permitted Transferee" means
(i) the Holder and its Affiliates, (ii) any direct or indirect equity holder of

Company covenants that all shares of capital stock which shall be issuable upon

are then listed.
5. Loss or Mutilation
Upon receipt by the Company of reasonable evidence of the
ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, the Company
shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate representing
an equal number of Warrants.
6. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of
Shares Deliverable
3
93
6.1 The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
of each Warrant and the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall
be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock through stock split or
otherwise, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its
Common Stock (including any reclassification in connection with a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) other securities
of the Company, the number and/or nature of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or
other securities of the Company which he would have owned or have been entitled
to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such
Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any
record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph
(a) shall become effective retroactively as of the record date of such event.
(b) In the event of any capital reorganization or any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or in case of the
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock are not converted into or exchanged for other rights or interests), or in
the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition to another corporation of
all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company (any such
event, a "Triggering Event"), the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase (and it shall be a condition to the consummation of any
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
other disposition that appropriate provisions shall be made so that such Holder
shall thereafter be entitled to purchase) the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised immediately prior to
the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or other disposition; and in any such case appropriate
adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 6
with respect to rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of the Warrants to
the end that the provisions of this Article 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as
near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property
thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The provisions of this
Section 6.1(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other
dispositions.
(c) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the
Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
so purchasable immediately thereafter.
4
94
6.2 No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
under the Warrants, or in the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares,
shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease
of at least 1% in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
such Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this Section 6.2 are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
All final results of adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and the
Purchase Price thereof shall be rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a share
or the nearest cent, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 6 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be
required, to make such changes in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of each Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof, in addition to
those required by such Section, as it in its discretion shall determine to be
advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock,
subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common Stock, issuance
of rights, warrants or options to purchase Common Stock, or distribution of
shares of stock other than Common Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets
(other than distributions of cash out of retained earnings) or convertible or
exchangeable securities hereafter made by the Company to the holders of its
Common Stock shall not result in any tax to the holders of its Common Stock or
securities convertible into Common Stock.
6.3 Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant or the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares is
adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at the
address of the Holder shown on the books of the Company, a notice of such
adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Board,
Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company, which sets forth the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Purchase
Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was
made.
6.4 The Company shall give notice to the Holder by registered
mail, if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the
Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:
(a) The Company shall authorize the payment of any dividend
payable in any securities upon shares of Common Stock or authorize the making of
any distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock;
(b) The Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of
Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or any of any other
subscription rights, options or warrants;
(c) A dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company
(other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of
the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or
5
95
(d) A capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock
and other than a change in the par value of the Common Stock) or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change of Common
Stock outstanding) or any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially an entirety.
Such giving of notice shall be initiated at least 10 business days prior to the
date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the
Company's stock transfer books for the determination of the shareholders
entitled to such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or for the
determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such
notice shall specify such record date or the date of the closing of the stock
transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide such notice shall not
affect the validity of any action taken in connection with such dividend,
distribution or subscription rights, or proposed merger, consolidation, sale,
conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
7. Conversion Rights
7.1 In lieu of exercise of any portion of the Warrants as
provided in Section 2.1 hereof, the Warrants represented by this Warrant
Certificate (or any portion thereof) may, at the election of the Holder, be
converted into the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock equal to: (1)
the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants to be so converted and (b) the excess, if any, of (i)
the Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2) with respect
to the date of conversion over (ii) the Purchase Price in effect on the business
day next preceding the date of conversion, divided by (2) the Market Price Per
Share with respect to the date of conversion. For example, if the Market Price
per Share on the date of conversion is $4.00 and the Purchase Price is $2.00,
then the Holder would be entitled to receive 15,000 shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of 30,000 Warrants.
7.2 The conversion rights provided under this Section 7 may be
exercised in whole or in part and at any time and from time to time while any
Warrants remain outstanding. In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the
Holder shall surrender to the Company, at its offices, this Warrant Certificate
accompanied by a duly completed Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B. The Warrants (or so much thereof as shall have been surrendered
for conversion) shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the
close of business on the day of surrender of such Warrant Certificate for
conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions. As promptly as
practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall issue and shall
deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled as a result of
the conversion, and (ii) if the Warrant Certificate is being converted in part
only, a new certificate of like tenor and date for the balance of the
unconverted portion of the Warrant Certificate.
6
96
8. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company
The Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of
the Warrants, reduce the then current Purchase Price to any amount deemed
appropriate by the Board and/or extend the date of the expiration of the
Warrants.
9. Fractional Shares and Warrants; Determination of
Market Price Per Share
9.1 Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of Common
Stock in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Warrants may not be exercised
in such number as would result (except for the provisions of this paragraph) in
the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock unless the Holder is
exercising all Warrants then owned by the Holder. In such event, the Company
shall, upon the exercise of all of such Warrants, issue to the Holder the
largest aggregate whole number of shares of Common Stock called for thereby upon
receipt of the Purchase Price for all of such Warrants and pay a sum in cash
equal to the remaining fraction of a share of Common Stock, multiplied by its
Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2 below) as of the
last business day preceding the date on which the Warrants are presented for
exercise.
9.2 As used herein, the "Market Price Per Share" with respect
to any class or series of Common Stock on any date shall mean the average
closing price per share of Company's Common Stock for the 20 trading days
immediately preceding such date. The closing price for each such day shall be
the last sale price regular way or, in case no such sale takes place on such
day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case
on the principal securities exchange on which the shares of such Common Stock of
the Company are listed or admitted to trading or, if applicable, the last sale
price, or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices of such Common Stock on NASDAQ or any comparable system, or
if such Common Stock is not reported on NASDAQ, or a comparable system, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by two members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by
the Company for that purpose. If such bid and asked prices are not available,
then "Market Price Per Share" shall be equal to the fair market value of such
Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board.
10. Governing Law
This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

PRINCETON VIDEO IMAGE, INC.
WARRANT CERTIFICATE
This warrant certificate ("Warrant Certificate") certifies
that for value received in consideration for certain services rendered, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, _________________________ or registered permitted assigns (the
"Holder") is the owner of the number of warrants ("Warrants") specified above,
each of which entitles the Holder thereof to purchase, at any time on or before
the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined), one fully paid and non-assessable
share of Common Stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), of Princeton Video Image,
Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), at a purchase price of $_______
per share of Common Stock in lawful money of the United States of America in
cash or by certified or cashier's check or a combination of cash and certified
or cashier's check (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided).
1. Warrant; Purchase Price
Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder initially to purchase
one share of Common Stock of the Company and the purchase price payable upon
exercise of the Warrants (the "Purchase Price") shall initially be $_______ per
share of Common Stock. The Purchase Price and number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment as provided in
Article 6. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
(and/or other shares of common stock so issuable by reason of any adjustments
pursuant to Article 6) are sometimes referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares."
2. Exercise; Expiration Date
2.1 The Warrants are exercisable, at the option of the Holder,
in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or after the date
hereof and on or before the Expiration Date, upon surrender of this Warrant
Certificate to the Company together with a duly completed
1
101
Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and payment of an
amount equal to the Purchase Price times the number of Warrants to be exercised.
In the case of exercise of less than all the Warrants represented by this
Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel the Warrant Certificate upon the
surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate for
the balance of such Warrants.
2.2 The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 5:00 p.m. New York
time on _______________.
3. Registration and Transfer on Company Books
3.1 The Company shall maintain books for the registration and
transfer of the Warrants and the registration and transfer of the Warrant
Shares.
3.2 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of
this Warrant Certificate, or the Warrant Shares, the Company may deem and treat
the registered Holder as the absolute owner thereof.
3.3 Neither this Warrant Certificate, nor the Warrants
represented hereby, may be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred voluntarily
by the Holder, other than to a Permitted Transferee (a "Permitted Transfer"),
without the consent of the Company. As used herein, the following terms shall
have the following definitions. "Affiliate" shall mean a Person that directly,
or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by,
or is under common control with, another Person. "Permitted Transferee" means
(i) the Holder and its Affiliates, (ii) any direct or indirect equity holder of
any Person referred to in clause (i) and any Affiliate of one or more of such
equity holders, and (iii) in the case of any of the foregoing Persons in clause
(ii) who is an individual, Permitted Transferee shall include such individual's
immediate family, trusts solely or primarily for the benefit of such person or
such person's immediate family member, and corporations, partnerships, limited
liability companies or other entities in which such individual or such
individual's family members and/or trusts are the majority equity holders as the
case may be. For this purpose, "immediate family" of a person means the person's
spouse, parents, children, adopted children, stepchildren and grandchildren.
"Person" shall mean and include an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a
trust, an unincorporated organization, a limited liability company, a joint
stock corporation, a joint venture, a government or any department, agency or
political subdivision thereof and any other entity. The Company shall register
upon its books any Permitted Transfer of a Warrant Certificate, upon surrender
of same to the Company with a written instrument of transfer duly executed by
the registered Holder or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such
registration of Permitted Transfer, new Warrant Certificate(s) shall be issued
to the transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be canceled
by the Company. A Warrant Certificate may also be exchanged, at the option of
the Holder, for new Warrant Certificates of different denominations representing
in the aggregate the number of Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate
surrendered.
2
102
3.4 No sale, transfer, assignment, hypothecation or other
disposition of the Warrant Shares shall be made unless any such transfer,
assignment or other disposition will comply with the rules and statutes
administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and
(i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), including such shares is currently in effect, or (ii) in the opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Company a current registration statement is not
required for such disposition of the shares.
4. Reservation of Shares
The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized capital stock, solely for the purpose of
issue upon exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of capital stock as
shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The
Company covenants that all shares of capital stock which shall be issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof, and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each
national securities exchange or automated over-the-counter trading system, if
any, on which the other shares of such outstanding capital stock of the Company
are then listed.
5. Loss or Mutilation
Upon receipt by the Company of reasonable evidence of the
ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, the Company
shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate representing
an equal number of Warrants.
6. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Shares
Deliverable
6.1 The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
of each Warrant and the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall
be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock through stock split or
otherwise, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its
Common Stock (including any reclassification in connection with a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) other securities
of the Company, the number and/or nature of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or
other securities of the Company which he would have owned or have been entitled
to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such
Warrant
3
103
been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record
date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a)
shall become effective retroactively as of the record date of such event.
(b) In the event of any capital reorganization or any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or in case of the
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock are not converted into or exchanged for other rights or interests), or in
the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition to another corporation of
all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company (any such
event, a "Triggering Event"), the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase (and it shall be a condition to the consummation of any
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
other disposition that appropriate provisions shall be made so that such Holder
shall thereafter be entitled to purchase) the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised immediately prior to
the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or other disposition; and in any such case appropriate
adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 6
with respect to rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of the Warrants to
the end that the provisions of this Article 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as
near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property
thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The provisions of this
Section 6.1(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other
dispositions.
(c) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the
Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
so purchasable immediately thereafter.
6.2 No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
under the Warrants, or in the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares,
shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease
of at least 1% in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
such Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this Section 6.2 are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
All final results of adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and the
Purchase Price thereof shall be rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a share
or the nearest cent, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 6 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be
required, to make such changes in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of each Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof, in addition to
those required by such Section, as it in its discretion shall determine to be
advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock,
subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common
4
104
Stock, issuance of rights, warrants or options to purchase Common Stock, or
distribution of shares of stock other than Common Stock, evidences of
indebtedness or assets (other than distributions of cash out of retained
earnings) or convertible or exchangeable securities hereafter made by the
Company to the holders of its Common Stock shall not result in any tax to the
holders of its Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock.
6.3 Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant or the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares is
adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at the
address of the Holder shown on the books of the Company, a notice of such
adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Board,
Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company, which sets forth the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Purchase
Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was
made.
6.4 The Company shall give notice to the Holder by registered
mail, if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the
Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:
(a) The Company shall authorize the payment of any dividend
payable in any securities upon shares of Common Stock or authorize the making of
any distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock;
(b) The Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of
Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or any of any other
subscription rights, options or warrants;
(c) A dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company
(other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of
the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or
(d) A capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock
and other than a change in the par value of the Common Stock) or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change of Common
Stock outstanding) or any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially an entirety.
Such giving of notice shall be initiated at least 10 business days prior to the
date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the
Company's stock transfer books for the determination of the shareholders
entitled to such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or for the
determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such
notice shall specify such record date or the date of the closing of the stock
transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide
5
105
such notice shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with
such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
7. Conversion Rights
7.1 In lieu of exercise of any portion of the Warrants as
provided in Section 2.1 hereof, the Warrants represented by this Warrant
Certificate (or any portion thereof) may, at the election of the Holder, be
converted into the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock equal to: (1)
the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants to be so converted and (b) the excess, if any, of (i)
the Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2) with respect
to the date of conversion over (ii) the Purchase Price in effect on the business
day next preceding the date of conversion, divided by (2) the Market Price Per
Share with respect to the date of conversion. For example, if the Market Price
per Share on the date of conversion is $4.00 and the Purchase Price is $2.00,
then the Holder would be entitled to receive 15,000 shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of 30,000 Warrants.
7.2 The conversion rights provided under this Section 7 may be
exercised in whole or in part and at any time and from time to time while any
Warrants remain outstanding. In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the
Holder shall surrender to the Company, at its offices, this Warrant Certificate
accompanied by a duly completed Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B. The Warrants (or so much thereof as shall have been surrendered
for conversion) shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the
close of business on the day of surrender of such Warrant Certificate for
conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions. As promptly as
practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall issue and shall
deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled as a result of
the conversion, and (ii) if the Warrant Certificate is being converted in part
only, a new certificate of like tenor and date for the balance of the
unconverted portion of the Warrant Certificate.
8. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company
The Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of
the Warrants, reduce the then current Purchase Price to any amount deemed
appropriate by the Board and/or extend the date of the expiration of the
Warrants.
9. Fractional Shares and Warrants; Determination of
Market Price Per Share
9.1 Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of Common
Stock in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Warrants may not be exercised
in such number as would result (except for the provisions of this paragraph) in
the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock unless
6
106
the Holder is exercising all Warrants then owned by the Holder. In such event,
the Company shall, upon the exercise of all of such Warrants, issue to the
Holder the largest aggregate whole number of shares of Common Stock called for
thereby upon receipt of the Purchase Price for all of such Warrants and pay a
sum in cash equal to the remaining fraction of a share of Common Stock,
multiplied by its Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2
below) as of the last business day preceding the date on which the Warrants are
presented for exercise.
9.2 As used herein, the "Market Price Per Share" with respect
to any class or series of Common Stock on any date shall mean the average
closing price per share of Company's Common Stock for the 20 trading days
immediately preceding such date. The closing price for each such day shall be
the last sale price regular way or, in case no such sale takes place on such
day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case
on the principal securities exchange on which the shares of such Common Stock of
the Company are listed or admitted to trading or, if applicable, the last sale
price, or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices of such Common Stock on NASDAQ or any comparable system, or
if such Common Stock is not reported on NASDAQ, or a comparable system, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by two members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by
the Company for that purpose. If such bid and asked prices are not available,
then "Market Price Per Share" shall be equal to the fair market value of such
Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board.
10. Certain Amendments
If the warrant identified on Exhibit C attached hereto (the
"Parallel Warrant") or any portion thereof is amended or forfeited other than in
bona fide consideration of services to be rendered to the Company by the holder
thereof with the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, then an equal
portion of the Warrants shall be similarly amended or forfeited at the option of
the Holder upon payment by the Holder to the Company of such consideration, if
any, as is paid to the Company by the holder of the Parallel Warrant in
connection with such amendment or upon payment by the Company to the Holder of
such consideration, if any, as is paid to the holder of the Parallel Warrant by
the Company. If the consideration paid by or to the holder of the Parallel

be paid by or to the Holder shall be calculated on the basis of the fair market
value of such consideration as reasonably determined in good faith by the
Company's Board of Directors. If no consideration is paid in connection with
such amendment or forfeiture, the Warrant shall, at the option of the Holder, be
amended or forfeited in the same fashion as the Parallel Warrant. The Company
shall give the Holder prompt written notice at its address reflected on the
records of the Company of any amendment or forfeiture referred to in this
Section 10.

PRINCETON VIDEO IMAGE, INC.
WARRANT CERTIFICATE
This warrant certificate ("Warrant Certificate") certifies
that for value received in consideration for certain services rendered, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, _________________________ or registered permitted assigns (the
"Holder") is the owner of the number of warrants ("Warrants") specified above,
each of which entitles the Holder thereof to purchase, at any time on or before
the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined), one fully paid and non-assessable
share of Common Stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), of Princeton Video Image,
Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), at a purchase price of $_______
per share of Common Stock in lawful money of the United States of America in
cash or by certified or cashier's check or a combination of cash and certified
or cashier's check (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided).
1. Warrant; Purchase Price
Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder initially to purchase
one share of Common Stock of the Company and the purchase price payable upon
exercise of the Warrants (the "Purchase Price") shall initially be $_______ per
share of Common Stock. The Purchase Price and number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment as provided in
Article 6. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
(and/or other shares of common stock so issuable by reason of any adjustments
pursuant to Article 6) are sometimes referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares."
2. Exercise; Expiration Date
2.1 The Warrants are exercisable, at the option of the
Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or after the
date hereof and on or before the Expiration Date, upon surrender of this Warrant
Certificate to the Company together with a duly completed
1
112
Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and payment of an
amount equal to the Purchase Price times the number of Warrants to be exercised.
In the case of exercise of less than all the Warrants represented by this
Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel the Warrant Certificate upon the
surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate for
the balance of such Warrants.
2.2 The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 5:00 p.m. New York
time on _______________.
3. Registration and Transfer on Company Books
3.1 The Company shall maintain books for the registration and
transfer of the Warrants and the registration and transfer of the Warrant
Shares.
3.2 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of
this Warrant Certificate, or the Warrant Shares, the Company may deem and treat
the registered Holder as the absolute owner thereof.
3.3 Neither this Warrant Certificate, nor the Warrants
represented hereby, may be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred voluntarily
by the Holder, other than to a Permitted Transferee (a "Permitted Transfer"),
without the consent of the Company. As used herein, the following terms shall
have the following definitions. "Affiliate" shall mean a Person that directly,
or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by,
or is under common control with, another Person. "Permitted Transferee" means
(i) the Holder and its Affiliates, (ii) any direct or indirect equity holder of
any Person referred to in clause (i) and any Affiliate of one or more of such
equity holders, and (iii) in the case of any of the foregoing Persons in clause
(ii) who is an individual, Permitted Transferee shall include such individual's
immediate family, trusts solely or primarily for the benefit of such person or
such person's immediate family member, and corporations, partnerships, limited
liability companies or other entities in which such individual or such
individual's family members and/or trusts are the majority equity holders as the
case may be. For this purpose, "immediate family" of a person means the person's
spouse, parents, children, adopted children, stepchildren and grandchildren.
"Person" shall mean and include an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a
trust, an unincorporated organization, a limited liability company, a joint
stock corporation, a joint venture, a government or any department, agency or
political subdivision thereof and any other entity. The Company shall register
upon its books any Permitted Transfer of a Warrant Certificate, upon surrender
of same to the Company with a written instrument of transfer duly executed by
the registered Holder or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such
registration of Permitted Transfer, new Warrant Certificate(s) shall be issued
to the transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be canceled
by the Company. A Warrant Certificate may also be exchanged, at the option of
the Holder, for new Warrant Certificates of different denominations representing
in the aggregate the number of Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate
surrendered.
2
113
3.4 No sale, transfer, assignment, hypothecation or other
disposition of the Warrant Shares shall be made unless any such transfer,
assignment or other disposition will comply with the rules and statutes
administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and
(i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), including such shares is currently in effect, or (ii) in the opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Company a current registration statement is not
required for such disposition of the shares.
4. Reservation of Shares
The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized capital stock, solely for the purpose of
issue upon exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of capital stock as
shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The
Company covenants that all shares of capital stock which shall be issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof, and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each
national securities exchange or automated over-the-counter trading system, if
any, on which the other shares of such outstanding capital stock of the Company
are then listed.
5. Loss or Mutilation
Upon receipt by the Company of reasonable evidence of the
ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, the Company
shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate representing
an equal number of Warrants.
6. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of
Shares Deliverable
6.1 The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant and the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant
Shares shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or
make a distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock through stock split or
otherwise, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its
Common Stock (including any reclassification in connection with a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) other securities
of the Company, the number and/or nature of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or
other securities of the Company which he would have owned or have been entitled
to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such
Warrant
3
114
been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record
date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a)
shall become effective retroactively as of the record date of such event.
(b) In the event of any capital reorganization or any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or in case of the
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock are not converted into or exchanged for other rights or interests), or in
the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition to another corporation of
all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company (any such
event, a "Triggering Event"), the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase (and it shall be a condition to the consummation of any
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
other disposition that appropriate provisions shall be made so that such Holder
shall thereafter be entitled to purchase) the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised immediately prior to
the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or other disposition; and in any such case appropriate
adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 6
with respect to rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of the Warrants to
the end that the provisions of this Article 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as
near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property
thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The provisions of this
Section 6.1(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other
dispositions.
(c) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the
Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
so purchasable immediately thereafter.
6.2 No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
under the Warrants, or in the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares,
shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease
of at least 1% in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
such Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this Section 6.2 are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
All final results of adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and the
Purchase Price thereof shall be rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a share
or the nearest cent, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 6 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be
required, to make such changes in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of each Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof, in addition to
those required by such Section, as it in its discretion shall determine to be
advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock,
subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common
4
115
Stock, issuance of rights, warrants or options to purchase Common Stock, or
distribution of shares of stock other than Common Stock, evidences of
indebtedness or assets (other than distributions of cash out of retained
earnings) or convertible or exchangeable securities hereafter made by the
Company to the holders of its Common Stock shall not result in any tax to the
holders of its Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock.
6.3 Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant or the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares is
adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at the
address of the Holder shown on the books of the Company, a notice of such
adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Board,
Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company, which sets forth the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Purchase
Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was
made.
6.4 The Company shall give notice to the Holder by registered
mail, if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the
Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:
(a) The Company shall authorize the payment of any dividend
payable in any securities upon shares of Common Stock or authorize the making of
any distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock;
(b) The Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of
Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or any of any other
subscription rights, options or warrants;
(c) A dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company
(other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of
the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or
(d) A capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock
and other than a change in the par value of the Common Stock) or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change of Common
Stock outstanding) or any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially an entirety.
Such giving of notice shall be initiated at least 10 business days prior to the
date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the
Company's stock transfer books for the determination of the shareholders
entitled to such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or for the
determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such
notice shall specify such record date or the date of the closing of the stock
transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide
5
116
such notice shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with
such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
7. Conversion Rights
7.1 In lieu of exercise of any portion of the Warrants as
provided in Section 2.1 hereof, the Warrants represented by this Warrant
Certificate (or any portion thereof) may, at the election of the Holder, be
converted into the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock equal to: (1)
the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants to be so converted and (b) the excess, if any, of (i)
the Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2) with respect
to the date of conversion over (ii) the Purchase Price in effect on the business
day next preceding the date of conversion, divided by (2) the Market Price Per
Share with respect to the date of conversion. For example, if the Market Price
per Share on the date of conversion is $4.00 and the Purchase Price is $2.00,
then the Holder would be entitled to receive 15,000 shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of 30,000 Warrants.
7.2 The conversion rights provided under this Section 7
may be exercised in whole or in part and at any time and from time to time while
any Warrants remain outstanding. In order to exercise the conversion privilege,
the Holder shall surrender to the Company, at its offices, this Warrant
Certificate accompanied by a duly completed Notice of Conversion in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Warrants (or so much thereof as shall have
been surrendered for conversion) shall be deemed to have been converted
immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such
Warrant Certificate for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions.
As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall
issue and shall deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates
representing the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be
entitled as a result of the conversion, and (ii) if the Warrant Certificate is
being converted in part only, a new certificate of like tenor and date for the
balance of the unconverted portion of the Warrant Certificate.
8. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company
The Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of
the Warrants, reduce the then current Purchase Price to any amount deemed
appropriate by the Board and/or extend the date of the expiration of the
Warrants.
9. Fractional Shares and Warrants; Determination of
Market Price Per Share
9.1 Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a
share of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Warrants may
not be exercised in such number as would result (except for the provisions of
this paragraph) in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock unless
6
117
the Holder is exercising all Warrants then owned by the Holder. In such event,
the Company shall, upon the exercise of all of such Warrants, issue to the
Holder the largest aggregate whole number of shares of Common Stock called for
thereby upon receipt of the Purchase Price for all of such Warrants and pay a
sum in cash equal to the remaining fraction of a share of Common Stock,
multiplied by its Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2
below) as of the last business day preceding the date on which the Warrants are
presented for exercise.
9.2 As used herein, the "Market Price Per Share" with
respect to any class or series of Common Stock on any date shall mean the
average closing price per share of Company's Common Stock for the 20 trading
days immediately preceding such date. The closing price for each such day shall
be the last sale price regular way or, in case no such sale takes place on such
day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case
on the principal securities exchange on which the shares of such Common Stock of
the Company are listed or admitted to trading or, if applicable, the last sale
price, or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices of such Common Stock on NASDAQ or any comparable system, or
if such Common Stock is not reported on NASDAQ, or a comparable system, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by two members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by
the Company for that purpose. If such bid and asked prices are not available,
then "Market Price Per Share" shall be equal to the fair market value of such
Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board.
10. Certain Amendments
If the warrant identified on Exhibit C attached hereto (the "Parallel
Warrant") or any portion thereof is amended or forfeited other than in bona fide
consideration of services to be rendered to the Company by the holder thereof
with the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, then an equal portion of
the Warrants shall be similarly amended or forfeited at the option of the Holder
upon payment by the Holder to the Company of such consideration, if any, as is
paid to the Company by the holder of the Parallel Warrant in connection with
such amendment or upon payment by the Company to the Holder of such
consideration, if any, as is paid to the holder of the Parallel Warrant by the
Company. If the consideration paid by or to the holder of the Parallel Warrant
is in a form other than cash or cash-equivalents, the consideration to be paid
by or to the Holder shall be calculated on the basis of the fair market value of
such consideration as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company's Board
of Directors. If no consideration is paid in connection with such amendment or
forfeiture, the Warrant shall, at the option of the Holder, be amended or
forfeited in the same fashion as the Parallel Warrant. The Company shall give
the Holder prompt written notice at its address reflected on the records of the
Company of any amendment or forfeiture referred to in this Section 10.
11. Governing Law
This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

WHEREAS, all terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned
to them in the Reorganization Agreement;
NOW therefore, in consideration of the premises, mutual covenants and
promises contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement of CSO.
1.1. Availability of Certain Employees. As an inducement for
the Company to enter into this Agreement, the CSO shall make Messrs. Xxxxx Xxxx
and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx available to work for the Company under separate agreements
between the Company or its Affiliate and the respective individual. The Parties
recognize and agree that execution and delivery of the agreements between the
Company or its Affiliate
180
and both Xx. Xxxx and Xx. Xxxxxxxx is a condition precedent to the obligations
created under this Agreement.
1.2. Consultant Services. The CSO agrees to provide the
following consulting services to the Company: (a) providing guidance, advice and
assistance in the development of the Company's existing and prospective
customers and (b) developing and maintaining relations with third Parties to
further the Company's objectives (the "Services"). Such Services shall be
provided from time to time as reasonably requested by the Company and as may be
consistent with the time and resources that the CSO is able to devote to the
Company. In providing the Services hereunder, the CSO shall consult with and
report to the Board of Directors of the Company or the Parent.
2. Non-Disclosure. The CSO shall not, at any time during or after
the Term of this Agreement, divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone (other
than in the regular course of business of the Company) or use for its own
account or for the account of any other person any knowledge or information with
respect to confidential or secret processes, inventions, discoveries,
improvements, formulae, plans, materials, devices or ideas or other know-how,
whether patentable or not, with respect to any confidential or secret
development or research work or with respect to any other confidential or secret
aspects of the Company's business (including, without limitation, customer
lists, supplier lists and pricing arrangements with customers or suppliers)
(collectively, the "Confidential Information"). This Section 2 shall not apply
to any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public
other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the CSO or its
officers, directors, agents, representatives or personnel, or its independent
contractors, or (ii) is or becomes available to the CSO or its officers,
directors, agents, representatives or personnel on a non-confidential basis from

representatives or personnel, or its independent contractors, who, to the CSO's
knowledge after due inquiry, is/are not and was/were not bound by a
confidentiality obligation to the Company and is/are not and was/were not
otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information to the CSO.
Upon termination of this Agreement, the CSO shall promptly deliver to
the Company all books, memoranda, plans, records and written data of every kind
relating to the business and affairs of the Company and all copies of
Confidential Information that are then in the possession and control of the CSO
or in the possession or control of any of its officers, directors, agents, or
employees.
3. Non-Competition.
3.1. Term and Scope. The Company and the CSO agree that the
services rendered by the CSO are unique and irreplaceable. In addition to and in
furtherance of this Agreement, the Company on the one hand and the CSO on the
other hand agree that the CSO will have, and prior to the date hereof did have,
access to the Confidential Information and that preserving the proprietary
nature of the Confidential Information is of utmost importance to the Company.
By giving the CSO an opportunity
2
181
or incentive to breach its obligations to the Company under Section 2 of the
Agreement, any relationship between the CSO and a competitor of the Company or
any Subsidiary during or following the Term of this Agreement will potentially
cause the Company irreparable injury, regardless of the circumstances under
which the Term ends, and even if the CSO is terminated by the Company for Cause
(as hereinafter defined). Therefore, in light of the reasons set forth herein,
the CSO agrees that during the Initial Term of this Agreement and for a period
of six months thereafter (the term of the Non-competition Obligation), the CSO
shall not, directly or indirectly, through any other person, firm, corporation
or other entity (whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, consultant,
holder of equity or debt investment, lender or in any other manner or capacity):
(a) in Central America and South America, design,
manufacture, sell, market, offer to sell or supply
video or television technology similar to that being
developed or sold by the Purchaser and any Subsidiary
of the Purchaser on the Closing Date for any reason;
(b) solicit, induce, encourage or attempt to induce or
encourage any employee of the Purchaser or any
Subsidiary of the Purchaser to terminate his or her
employment with the Purchaser or any Subsidiary of
the Purchaser or to breach any other obligation to
the Purchaser or any Subsidiary of the Purchaser;
(c) solicit, interfere with, disrupt, alter or attempt to
disrupt or alter the relationship, contractual or
otherwise, between the Purchaser or any Subsidiary of
the Purchaser and any customer, potential customer,
or supplier of the Purchaser or Subsidiary of the
Purchaser; or
(d) engage in or participate in any business conducted
under any name that shall be the same as or similar
to the name of the Purchaser, any Subsidiary of the
Purchaser or any trade name used by such Persons.
3.2 Acknowledgment and Agreement as to Scope. The terms and
scope as set forth hereinabove, except for the period to which this provision is
applicable, shall have the same meaning and effect as the provisions included at
Section 8.7 of the Reorganization Agreement. The CSO acknowledges that the
geographic, activity and time limitations contained in this Section 4 are
reasonable in scope and are reasonably required for the adequate protection of
the Company's business. In the event that any such geographic, activity or time
limitation is deemed to be unreasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the CSO shall submit to the reduction of said geographic, activity or time
limitation, in accordance with Section 18, to the maximum extent to which such
paragraph will reach as interpreted by the court in light of the intent of the
Parties as
3
182
exhibited in this Section 3. In the event that the CSO is in violation of the
restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 3, then the time limitation for
such covenants shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency of
any proceedings brought to enforce such covenants, including any appeals taken
as part of such proceedings. This Section 3 is to be specifically governed by
the laws of Mexico, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles, and
shall not be deemed unenforceable, restricted or otherwise limited except with
specific reference to the law of Mexico. In addition, if the Purchaser shall
fail to comply with its obligations under Section 7.1 of the Reorganization
Agreement, and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days after notice of
such failure from any member of the Seller Group, then CSO's obligations under
this Section 3 shall immediately terminate.
3.3 Effect of Breach.
(a) Violation by the CSO. In the event of a breach of the
Non-competition obligations under this Section 3 by
the CSO, or by Xx. Xxxx or Xx. Xxxxxxxx under their
respective Employment Agreements, or by the Seller
Group or any member thereof under the Reorganization
Agreement, then the CSO shall forfeit any right or
entitlement to any benefit of Section 5.2 hereof,
regarding payment of the Contingent Service Fee. In
the event of a breach by either Xx. Xxxx or Xx.
Xxxxxxxx of the non-competition obligations under his
or their respective Employment Agreements, the CSO
shall forfeit fifty percent (50%) of the Commission
Override Fee payable under Section 5.3, such portion
of the Commission Override Fee being attributable to
the person who commits such breach. The forfeiture of
the Contingent Service Fee and, if applicable, the
Commission Override Fee shall occur from the initial
act of competition in violation of this Section 3.
(b) Violation by the Company. In the event that the

Adjusted Operating Cash Flow (other than as a result
of timing differences in the recognition of revenue

adjustment should be made to the amount of Operating
Cash Flow and/or Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, and if

either accepts or disagrees with the Company's
calculations. In the event that the CSO accepts the
Company's calculations in writing,
9
188
those calculations shall be final, binding and
unappealable by the Parties.
(b) In the event that the CSO disagrees with the
Company's calculations, the written notice of
disagreement that the CSO sends to the Company shall
also set forth the basis of the CSO's disagreement
and, if practicable, the CSO's own calculation of the
Contingent Service Fee or the Commission Override
Fee.

Parties reach an agreement, they shall set forth the

by the Parties (a "Settlement Agreement"), and the

shall be final, binding and unappealable by the
Parties.
(d) In the event that a Settlement Agreement is not
executed by the Parties within ten (10) Business Days
following the date on which the Company receives the

Section, the Parties hereby agree to retain an
independent auditor selected by mutual agreement of
the Parties. The independent auditor shall, within

to the CSO and the Company a written statement
setting forth its calculation of the Contingent

the retention of the independent auditor and prior to
the issuance of the independent auditor's statement,
the Parties agree to promptly provide the independent
auditor with any and all documents and information,
financial or otherwise, reasonably requested by the
independent auditor. In the event that the
independent auditor is not provided with such

independent auditor is hereby authorized to withdraw
by sending a written notice to the CSO and the
Company stating which of the Parties has failed to
provide the requested documents and/or
10
189
information, and the Parties agree that the
calculations of the Party that did not fail to
provide such documents and/or information shall be
deemed to be the final, binding and unappealable
calculations of such figures for purposes of this
Agreement. In the event that the independent auditor
resigns for any reason and fails to state in writing
to the Parties which of the Parties has failed to
provide the documents and/or information requested by
the auditor (or in the event that the auditor states
that both Parties failed to provide such documents
and/or information), the Parties agree that they will
promptly select a new independent auditor in
accordance with the terms of this Section and the
resolution of their dispute shall proceed in
accordance herewith. The independent auditor's
calculation of the Contingent Service Fee or the
Commission Override Fee, the Operating Cash Flow and
Adjusted Operating Cash Flow shall be final, binding
and unappealable by the Parties. The fees and
expenses associated with any such audit shall be
borne as the auditor determines.

2.1 Grant of Demand Registration Rights.
2.1.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement and
Sections 8.5 and 9.4 of the Reorganization Agreement, at any time from and after
the date hereof, the Company agrees that the Holder or Holders (the "Requesting
Holder" or "Requesting Holders," as the case may be) shall have the right to
make a total of five (5) requests for registration under the Securities Act of
no less than 150,000 shares of Registrable Securities then held by them (which
number shall be adjusted to reflect any change in the Company's capitalization,
at any time from and after the date hereof, by reason of a reclassification,
recapitalization, reorganization, stock split, reverse stock split, repurchase
of shares or otherwise) on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration or, if
available, on Form S-2 or Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration
provided, however that the Requesting Holders may not make more than two (2)
requests which result in Demand Registrations in any calendar year. Each such
request for registration must specify the number of Registrable Securities
requested to be registered, the anticipated price per share for such offering
and whether such registration is to be in the form of an underwritten offering.
2.1.2 Within ten (10) days after receipt of any
request for registration by the Requesting Holder or Requesting Holders, as the
case may be, pursuant to Section 2.1.1, the Company shall give written notice of
such requested registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities and
will use its best efforts to cause to be included in such registration all
Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written
requests for such inclusion not later than thirty (30) days after such other
Holder's receipt of the Company's notice. All registrations referred to in this
Section 2 shall be referred to as "Demand Registrations." If the number of
Registrable Securities to be offered in a Demand Registration is restricted, the
number of shares to be included in such offering shall be determined pursuant to
the provisions of Section 2.3 or Section 2.4, as the case may be.
2.2 Selection of Underwriter(s). If the Requesting Holder or
Requesting Holders, as the case may be, elect to have the offering of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration be in the form of an
underwritten offering, the Holders of a Majority of the Registrable Securities
to be included in such offering shall select and obtain the investment banker or
investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering
(subject to the approval of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).
-3-
201
2.3 Priority on Underwritten Demand Registration.
(a) The number of Registrable Securities to be included in a
Demand Registration may be reduced if and to the extent that the underwriter of
securities included in the registration statement shall be of the opinion that
such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold
therein; provided, however, that the percentage of the reduction of such
Registrable Securities shall be no greater than the percentage reduction of
securities of other selling stockholders, as such percentage reductions are
determined in the good faith judgment of the Company.
(b) In a Demand Registration in which the Company
participates, such registration statement will include, first, the securities
proposed by the Company to be sold for its own account and, second, the
Registrable Securities subject to any reduction pursuant to Section 2.3(a)
hereof.
(c) In a Demand Registration in which the Company or other
selling shareholders participate, if the aggregate number of shares actually
offered by the Requesting Holders with respect to such registration is less than
75% of the aggregate number of shares such Requesting Holders initially
requested to be offered as a result of a reduction pursuant to Section 2.3(a)
hereof, then such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration
hereunder and such Requesting Holders shall retain their rights hereunder with
respect to the number of Demand Registrations without a reduction as a result of
such registration.
(d) The Requesting Holders may abandon a Demand Registration
at any time. An abandoned Demand Registration shall not count as a Demand
Registration and such Requesting Holders shall retain their rights hereunder
with respect to the number of Demand Registrations without a reduction as a
result thereof if such Requesting Holders, at their option, pay all fees and
expenses in connection with such abandoned registration.
2.4 Limitations on Demand Registration. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to effect
any Demand Registration at any time when another registration statement (other
than on Form S-8) of the Company (A) is reasonably foreseen by the Board to be
filed with the Commission within thirty (30) days after the date of request for
Demand Registration, (B) has been filed and not yet become effective, or (C) has
become effective less than six (6) months prior to the date of the request for
Demand Registration.
2.5 Postponement of Demand Registration by the Company. The
Company may postpone for up to 180 days the filing of a registration statement
for a Demand Registration if the Company has delivered a certificate to the
Holders of the Registrable Securities stating that the Board, acting in good
faith, has determined that pursuance of such Demand Registration would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders; provided, however,
that in the event of any such postponement, the
-4-
202
Requesting Holder or Requesting Holders, as the case may be, shall be entitled
to withdraw the request for such Demand Registration and, if such request is
withdrawn, such request shall not count as a Demand Registration hereunder; and
provided, further, that the Company may not exercise its rights under this
Section 2.5 more than once in any twelve-month period.
3. Piggyback Registration Rights.
3.1 Grant of Piggyback Registration Rights. Subject to the
terms of this Agreement and Sections 8.5 and 9.4 of the Reorganization
Agreement, at any time from and after the date hereof at which the Company shall
determine to file a registration statement under the Securities Act (other than
on Form X-0, X-0 or a registration statement on Form S-l covering solely an
employee benefit plan) in connection with the proposed offer and sale for money
of any of its securities whether or not for its own account and/or on behalf of
selling stockholders, the Company agrees promptly to give written notice of its
determination to all Holders. Upon the written request of a Holder given within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of such written notice from the Company, the
Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities,
the Holders of which have so requested registration thereof, to be included in
such registration statement and registered under the Securities Act, all to the
extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable
Securities to be so registered. All registrations of Registrable Securities
referred to in this Section 3 may be referred to as "Piggyback Registrations."
There is no limitation on the number of Piggyback Registrations which the
Company is obligated to effect. No Piggyback Registration shall relieve the
Company of its obligation to effect Demand Registrations.
3.2 Underwritten Piggyback Registration. If the registration
of which the Company gives written notice pursuant to Section 3.1 is for a
public offering involving an underwriting, the Company agrees to so advise the
Holders as a part of its written notice.
3.3 Priority on Piggyback Registration.
(a) The number of Registrable Shares to be included in a
Piggyback Registration may be reduced if and to the extent that the underwriter
of securities included in the registration statement shall be of the opinion
that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be
sold therein; provided, however, that the percentage of the reduction of such
Registrable Securities shall be no greater than the percentage reduction of
securities of other selling stockholders, as such percentage reductions are
determined in the good faith judgment of the Company.
(b) In a Piggyback Registration in which the Company
participates, such registration statement will include, first, the securities
proposed by the Company to be sold for its own account and, second, the
Registrable Securities subject to any reduction pursuant to Section 3.3(a)
hereof.

4. Registration Procedures. If and as often as the Company is required
by the provisions of Section 2 or Section 3 hereof to include shares of
Registrable Securities held by various Holders in a registration statement filed
under the Securities Act, the Company, at its expense and as expeditiously as
possible, agrees to:
4.1 Registration Statement; Period of Effectiveness. In
accordance with the Securities Act and all applicable rules and regulations,
prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to
such securities (provided that, before filing a registration statement or

the counsel selected by the Holders of a Majority of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement copies of all such documents to be filed,
which documents will be subject to review of such counsel) and use its best

a period of ninety (90) days (or, if such registration statement has been filed
on Form S-3, for a period of one (1) year) and prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and
the prospectus contained therein as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective and such registration statement and prospectus accurate and
complete during such period of time;
4.2 Agreements and Other Actions. Enter into such customary

facilitate the public offering of such securities;
4.4 Blue Sky Qualification. Use its best efforts to register

any such jurisdiction;
4.5 Notification of Filing and Effectiveness. Notify the
Holders participating in such registration, promptly after it shall receive
notice thereof, (i) of the date and time when such registration statement, any
pre-effective amendment, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement thereto or

authority for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or the

the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with
the distribution of the Registrable Securities by such Holders;
4.7 Correction of Statements or Omissions. Notify such
Holders, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the discovery
of the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in
such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, at the request of
any Holder, the Company will prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable
number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such
prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made;
4.8 Listing. Unless at least 80% of the members of the
Company's Board of Directors agree otherwise, use its best efforts to cause all
such Registrable Securities to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market, provided
that the Registrable Securities shall be listed on each exchange, if any, on
which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
4.9 Transfer Agent. Provide a transfer agent and registrar for
all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the
Registration Statement;
4.10 Stop Orders, Proceedings. Advise such Holders, promptly
after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of
any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such
registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
that purpose and promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any
stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;
4.11 Inspection. Make available for inspection upon request by

the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information
reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or

the Company's counsel and a "comfort" letter from the Company's independent
public accountants in customary form and covering such matters as are
customarily covered by such opinions and "comfort" letters delivered to
underwriters in underwritten public offerings, which opinion and letter shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders of a
Majority of the Registrable Securities, and furnish to each Holder participating
in the offering and to each underwriter, if any, a copy of such opinion and
letter addressed to such Holder (in the case of the opinion) and underwriter (in
the case of the opinion and the "cold comfort" letter);
4.13. Compliance. Comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the
registration statement (and in any event within 16 months thereafter), an
earning statement (which need not be audited) covering the period of at least
twelve consecutive months beginning with the first day of the Company's first
calendar quarter after the effective date of the registration statement, which
earning statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
4.14. Marketing. Make reasonably available its officers,
employees and personnel and otherwise provide reasonable assistance to the
underwriters (taking into account the needs of the Company's businesses and the
requirements of the marketing process) in the marketing of Registrable
Securities in any underwritten offering; and
4.15 Incorporated Documents. Promptly prior to the filing of
any document which is to be incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or the prospectus (after the initial filing of such registration
statement) provide copies of such document to counsel for the selling holders of
Registrable Securities and to each managing underwriter, if any, and make the
Company's representatives reasonably available for discussion of such document
and make such changes in such document concerning the selling holders prior to
the filing thereof as counsel for such selling holders or underwriters may
reasonably request.

each inclusion of shares of Registrable Securities in a registration statement
pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 hereof, the Company agrees to bear all fees,
costs and expenses of and incidental to such registration and the public
offering in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Holders
participating in any such registration agree to bear their pro rata share of any
applicable underwriting discount and commissions.
-8-
206
The fees, costs and expenses of registration to be borne as provided in
the preceding sentence shall include, without limitation, all registration,
filing, listing, and NASD fees, printing expenses, expenses incurred in
connection with any road show, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants
for the Company, fees and disbursement of counsel for the underwriter or
underwriters, if any, of the securities to be offered (if the Company and/or
selling Holders who have requested registration of their Registrable Securities
are otherwise required to bear such fees and disbursements), all legal fees and
disbursements and other expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky
laws of any jurisdictions in which such securities are to be registered or
qualified, reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel for the
Holders who have requested registration of their Registrable Securities, to be
selected by the Holders of a majority of the shares of Registrable Securities to
be included in such registration, and the premiums and other costs of policies
of insurance against liability arising out of such public offering.
6. Underwriting Agreements. In the event any Demand Registration or
Piggyback Registration under this Agreement is an underwritten offering, the
right of any Holder to participate therein, and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities therein, shall be subject to such Holder's agreeing to
enter into, together with the Company, an underwriting agreement with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.
7. Indemnification.
7.1 Indemnification by Company. The Company hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities which are
included in a registration statement (and any officer, director, employee,
associate, affiliate, controlling Person, legal counsel and accountants thereof)
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement from and against, and agrees to
reimburse such Holder (and any officer, director, employee, associate,
affiliate, controlling Person, legal counsel and accountants thereof) with
respect to, any and all claims, actions (actual or threatened), demands, losses,
damages, liabilities, costs or expenses to which such Holder may become subject
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such claims, actions, demands,
losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
in such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that
the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
claim, action, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense is caused by an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so
made in strict conformity with written information furnished by such Holder
specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
-9-
207
7.2 Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder of shares of
Registrable Securities which are included in a registration statement pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, legal counsel
and accountants and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act, from and against, and agrees to reimburse the Company, its
officers, directors, legal counsel, accountants and controlling Persons with
respect to, any and all claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities,
costs or expenses to which the Company, its officers, directors, legal counsel,
accountants or such controlling Persons may become subject under the Securities
Act or otherwise, insofar as such claims, actions, demands, losses, damages,
liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by any untrue statement of any
material fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus contained
therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or are caused by the omission or
the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in reliance upon and in
strict conformity with written information furnished by such Holder specifically
for use in the preparation thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder
shall be obligated hereunder to pay more than the net proceeds realized by it
upon its sale of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement.
7.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by a
party indemnified pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 of
notice of the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the
foregoing indemnity provisions, such indemnified party will, if a claim therefor
is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section
7.2, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission
so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which
it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7 and
shall not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under this Section 7
unless such indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such
action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the
right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or
parties). Upon the permitted assumption by the indemnifying party of the defense
of such action, and approval by the
-10-
208
indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such
indemnified party under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless: (i) the
indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the
assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding
sentence; (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within
a reasonable time; (iii) the indemnifying party and its counsel do not actively
and vigorously pursue the defense of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party
has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the
expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall be liable to an
indemnified party for any settlement of any action or claim without the consent
of the indemnifying party, and no indemnifying party may unreasonably withhold
its consent to any such settlement. No indemnifying party will consent to entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
indemnified party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or
litigation.
7.4 Contribution.
7.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in Section
7.1 or Section 7.2 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unavailable to a party to be indemnified with respect to any claims, actions,
demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein,
then each indemnifying party under any such Section, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party thereunder, hereby agrees to contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such claims, actions,
demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such claims, actions, demands, losses,
damages, liabilities, costs or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. If, however, the allocation provided in the
second preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such
relative faults but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions
pursuant to this Section 7.4 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by
any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 7.4.1.
-11-
209
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount any Holder shall be obligated to
contribute pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be limited to an amount equal to
the per share public offering price (less any underwriting discount and
commissions) multiplied by the number of shares of Registrable Securities sold
by such Holder pursuant to the registration statement which gives rise to such
obligation to contribute (less the aggregate amount of any damages which such
Holder has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such claim, action,
demand, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense or any substantially similar
claim, action, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arising from the
sale of such Registrable Securities).
7.4.2 No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
7.4.3 The indemnification and contribution required
by this Section 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof
during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are
received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.
8. Rule 144. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to
enable holders of Registrable Securities to sell such securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by (i) Rule 144, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter
adopted by the Commission including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, filing on a timely basis all reports required to be filed by the
Exchange Act. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such
holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
9. Form S-3. The Company agrees to take such measures and file such
information, documents and reports, as shall be required of it by the Commission
as a condition to the use of Form S-3. The Company also covenants to use its
best efforts to qualify for the use of Form S-3.
10. Shareholder Information. The Company may request each Holder of
Registrable Securities as to which any registration is sought to be effected
pursuant to this Agreement to furnish the Company with such information with
respect to such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as
the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and as shall be
required by law or by the Commission in connection therewith, and each Holder as
to which any registration is sought to be effected pursuant to this Agreement
agrees to furnish the Company with such information.
11. Additional Registration Rights. The Company may grant registration
rights, pari passu with the rights granted in Section 2 and Section 3 of this
Agreement, to persons who become holders of other securities of the Company
subsequent to the date of this Agreement; provided, however, the Company shall
not be obligated to seek or obtain the
-12-
210
consent of the Investors in order to do so subject to the provisions of Sections
2.3 and 3.3 hereof.
12. Forms. All references in this Agreement to particular forms of
registration statements are intended to include, and shall be deemed to include,
references to all successor forms which are intended to replace, or to apply to
similar transactions as, the forms herein referenced.
13. Standstill. To the extent requested by the managing underwriter of
any registration effected pursuant to Section 3 and offered by the Company, each
Holder will defer the sale of Registrable Shares for a period commencing twenty
(20) days prior and terminating one hundred twenty (120) days after the
effective date of the registration statement, provided that any principal
shareholders of the Company who also have shares included in the registration
statement will also defer their sales for a similar period.
13. Miscellaneous; Termination of Rights.
13.1 Termination. The rights and obligations of the Holders
under this Agreement shall terminate at such time when, pursuant to clause (k)
of Rule 144, the Holders are no longer subject to the volume limitations
contained in clauses (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144 as determined by counsel
to the Holders.
13.2 Waivers and Amendments.
13.2.1 With the written consent of the Holders of a
Majority of the Registrable Securities, the obligations of the Company to the
Investors and the rights of the Investors under this Agreement may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or
prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely), and
with the same consent the Company may enter into a supplementary agreement for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of any supplemental agreement or
modifying in any manner the rights and obligations hereunder or thereunder of
the Investors and the Company; provided, however, that no such waiver or
supplemental agreement shall reduce the aforesaid proportion of Registrable
Securities, the Holders of which are required to consent to any waiver or
supplemental agreement, without the consent of all of the Holders; and provided,
further, that, without the consent of any of the Holders, the Company may, from
time to time, amend this Agreement in any manner that, viewed in its entirety,
is ameliorative of, or provides all of the Holders with rights that are superior
to or of greater benefit to such Holders than, the rights that such Holders hold
prior to the date of any such amendment. Upon the effectuation of each such
waiver, consent or agreement of amendment or modification, the Company agrees to
give prompt written notice thereof to the Holders who have not previously
consented thereto in writing. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof
may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally or by course of dealing,
but only by a statement in writing signed by the
-13-
211
party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought, except to the extent provided in this Section 13.2. Specifically, but
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the failure of any Investor at
any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof by the Company
shall in no manner affect the right of any such Investor at a later time to
enforce the same. No waiver by any party of the breach of any term or provision
contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to
be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a
waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement.
13.2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing and without the
consent of any other Holders, the rights and obligations of any Holder under
this Agreement may be transferred to any transferee to whom Registrable
Securities are transferred; provided, however, that: (i) such transfers are in
compliance with all other documents and agreements between the Company and the
Holder making such transfer; (ii) the Holder making such transfer provides the
Company with written notice of the transfer of such Registrable Securities at or
prior to such transfer, advising the Company of the name and address of the
proposed transferee and identifying the securities to be transferred; and (iii)
such proposed transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions
of this Agreement. In such event, such transferee shall be added to Schedule A
and become an Investor under this Agreement.
13.3 Effect of Waiver or Amendment. Each Investor acknowledges
that by operation of Section 13.2 the Holders of a Majority of the Registrable
Securities will, subject to the limitations contained in such Section 13.2, have
the right and power to diminish or eliminate certain rights of all of the
Investors under this Agreement.
13.4 Rights of Investors Inter Se. Each Investor shall have
the absolute right to exercise or refrain from exercising any right or rights
which such Investor may have by reason of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the right to consent to the waiver of any obligation of the Company
under this Agreement and to enter into an agreement with the Company for the
purpose of modifying this Agreement or any agreement effecting any such
modification, and such Investor shall not incur any liability to any other
Investor with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any such right
or rights.
13.5 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other
communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
delivered, or mailed first class postage prepaid, registered or certified mail.
13.5.1 If to any Investor, addressed to such Investor
at its last known address set forth on the Company's corporate records, or at
such other address as such Investor may specify by written notice to the
Company; or
-14-
212
13.5.2 If to the Company, at 00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000, Attention: __________, or at such other address
as the Company may specify by written notice to the Investors.
Each such notice, request, consent and other
communication shall, for all purposes of the Agreement, be treated as being
effective or having been given when delivered, if delivered personally, or, if
sent by mail, at the earlier of its actual receipt or three (3) days after the
same has been deposited in a regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit of
U.S. mail, addressed and postage prepaid as aforesaid.
13.6 Severability. Should any one or more of the provisions of
this Agreement or of any agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement be
determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of this
Agreement and of each other agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement
shall be given effect separately from the provision or provisions determined to
be illegal or unenforceable and shall not be affected thereby.
13.7 Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, whether so
expressed or not and, in particular, shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Holder or Holders at the time of any of the
Registrable Securities. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, this
Agreement shall not run to the benefit of or be enforceable by any Person other
than a party to this Agreement and its successors and assigns.
13.8 Headings. The headings of the sections, subsections and
paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference
only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
13.9 Choice of Law. It is the intention of the parties that
the internal substantive laws, without regard to the laws of conflicts, of the
State of New Jersey should govern the enforceability and validity of this
Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights
and duties of the parties.
13.10 Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereto hereby
irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New Jersey State or
Federal court sitting in the State of New Jersey, for any action or proceeding
arising out of or related to this Agreement, and the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding
may be heard and determined in New Jersey State court or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding.
13.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement
-15-
213
among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings of the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof. All such agreements shall terminate and
be of no further force or effect.
13.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document. All such
counterparts shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together and shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this
Registration Rights Agreement to be executed personally or by a duly authorized
representative thereof as of the day and year first above written.

FORM OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

PRINCETON VIDEO IMAGE, INC.
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
OPTIONEE: _____________ INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION SHARES: _____________________
ADDRESS: _____________ NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION SHARES: _________________
_____________ EXERCISE PRICE: ____________________________________
DATE OF GRANT: ______________________________________
EXPIRATION DATE: ___________________________________
VESTING SCHEDULE: Subject to the additional provisions of this Stock Option
Agreement (this "Agreement") and the 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), as
amended, of Princeton Video Image, Inc. (the "Company"),
MONTHLY VESTING: One thirty-sixth (1/36) of the total number of shares subject
to this Agreement shall vest and shall become exercisable on and after the first
day of the first month following the Date of Grant and an additional one
thirty-sixth (1/36) of the total number of shares subject to this Agreement
shall vest and shall become exercisable on and after the first day of each
subsequent month, until all of the shares are exercisable.
1. Grant of Option. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the
Company hereby grants to the above named Optionee an option (the "Option") to
purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company ("Shares")
set forth above, at the Exercise Price and in accord with the Vesting Schedule
set forth above, and in all respects subject to the terms, definitions and
provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and which is
incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise defined, the terms defined in
the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.
2. Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercised by the completion
and execution of a notice in the form attached as Exhibit A. The notice shall be
signed by Optionee, shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the
President or Chief Financial Officer of the company and shall be accompanied by
payment of the exercise price in cash or check. The Option may not be exercised
for a fraction of a Share. The Option may not be exercised and no Shares will be
issued unless such exercise and issuance shall comply with all relevant
provisions of law and the requirements of any automated quotation system or
stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. Assuming such
compliance, for income tax purposes the shares shall be considered transferred
to Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such
Shares. Prior to the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Option, Optionee
must pay or make adequate provision for any applicable federal or state
withholding obligation of the Company.
3. Termination of Status as an Employee or Consultant. In the event of
termination of Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant,
Optionee may, but only within ninety (90) days after the date of such
termination (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), exercise the
Option to the extent that Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of
such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the
Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise this
Option within the time specified herein, this Agreement shall terminate.
4. Breach by Employee. In the event the Employee should breach the
non-competition provisions set forth at Section 9 of the Employment Agreement,
dated _____________, between Employee and Newco (the "Employment Agreement"),
then any vested but unexercised and/or any unvested options hereunder shall be
forfeit and any rights of Employee hereunder shall lapse and become null and
void.
5. Special Remedies Available to Employee. If the Purchaser (as defined
in the Reorganization Agreement referred to herein) shall fail to comply with
its obligations under Section 7.1 of the Reorganization Agreement, dated
December __, 2000, between Princeton Video Image, Inc., and Presencia en Medios,
et al. (the "Reorganization Agreement"), and such failure is not cured within
ten (10) days after notice of such failure from Employee or any member of the
Seller Group, as defined under the Reorganization Agreement, then
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Plan or in
the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement), at the
end of such ten (10) day period, all stock options subject to this Stock Option
Agreement which are not then vested shall immediately vest. Additionally, if any
event pertaining to a change in control of the Company, as specified in Section
4(g) of the Employment Agreement, occurs, then all unvested options hereunder
shall immediately vest and become exercisable in accordance with the terms of
Section 4(g) and 4(h) of the Employment Agreement, which sections are
incorporated by reference as if set forth herein at length.
6. Death or Disability of Optionee. Subject to Section 4 above and
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 above, in the event of Optionee's
death or the termination of Optionee's consulting relationship or Continuous
Status as an Employee as a result of Optionee's total and permanent disability
(as defined in Section 22(c)(3) of the Code), Optionee's estate or Optionee (as
the case may be) may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of death
or such termination (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), exercise
the Option to the extent Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of
death or such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of death or such termination, or if Optionee's
estate or Optionee does not exercise the Option to the extent so entitled within
the time specified herein, this Agreement shall terminate.
7. Non-Transferability of Option. The Option may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the
lifetime of
218
Optionee, only by Optionee. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon
the executors, administrators, heirs successors and assigns of Optionee.
8. Term of Option. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, the Option may not be exercised more than ten years from the Date of
Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan
and the terms of this Agreement.
9. Incentive Stock Options. The Option is intended to qualify as an
incentive stock option ("ISO") within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") with respect to the Incentive
Stock Option Shares. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the
Incentive Stock Option Shares (determined for each Share as of the grant date of
the option covering such Share), together with the aggregate fair market value
of Common Stock subject to any additional ISOs held by Optionee, for which such
options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee in any calendar year
exceeds $100,000, or any of the terms or conditions of this Option are
inconsistent with the requirements imposed by the Code for treatment of this
Option as an ISO, the Incentive Stock Option Shares shall be considered
Non-Qualified Stock Option Shares.
10. Early Disposition of Stock. If Optionee is an Employee Optionee
understands that, if Optionee disposes of any Shares received under this Option
within two (2) years after the date of this Option or within one (1) year after
such Shares were transferred to Optionee, Optionee will be treated for federal
income tax purposes as having received ordinary income at the time of such
disposition in an amount generally measured as the difference between the price
paid for the Shares and the lower of the fair market value of the Shares at the
date of exercise or the fair market value of the Shares at the date of
disposition. The amount of such ordinary income may be measured differently if
Optionee is an officer, director or 10% shareholder of the Company, or if the
Shares were subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture at the time they were
transferred. Any gain recognized on such a premature sale of the shares in
excess of the amount treated as ordinary income will be characterized as capital
gain. Optionee hereby agrees to notify the Company in writing within thirty (30)
days after the date of any such disposition. The notice shall include Optionee's
name, the number, Exercise Price, exercise date, sales price of the Shares so
disposed, and the date of disposition. Optionee understands that if Optionee
disposes of such Shares at any time after the expiration of such two-year and
one-year holding periods, any gain on such sale will be treated as long-term
capital gain.
11. Tax Consequences. Optionee understands that any of the foregoing
references to taxation are based on federal income tax laws and regulations now
in effect. Optionee has reviewed with Optionee's own tax advisors the federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. Optionee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any
statements or representations of Company or any of its agents. Optionee
understands that the Optionee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for
Optionee's own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

listed on Schedule 3.6 to the Reorganization Agreement), and (b) the excess of
any amounts over three million Pesos (3,000,000), minus the aggregate of
Specified Payments, owed by the Corporation to Presencia on the Closing Date,
other than payments required under this letter and the provisions of the
Consulting Services Agreement dated as of ___________, 2001 between Presencia
and the Corporation and other than any indemnification obligation in respect of
guarantees referred to in Schedule 3.21 of the Reorganization Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter agreement, Princeton Video

Presencia shall have no right, claim or entitlement against Princeton Video

enforce any judgment against the Corporation in any currency other than Pesos.
