THIS AGREEMENT dated as of August 2, 2002 is entered into by and among
Photogen Technologies, Inc., a
Nevada corporation (the "COMPANY"), and Mi3 L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership ("Mi3"), OXFORD BIOSCIENCE PARTNERS IV L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership, New England Partners Capital, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership, and Xxxxxxxxx LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(together with Mi3, the "PURCHASERS").
WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers are executing and delivering this
Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded
by the provisions of Regulation D ("REGULATION D"), as promulgated by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "1933 ACT"); and
WHEREAS, the Purchasers wish to purchase from the Company, and the Company
wishes to sell and issue to the Purchasers, shares of Common Stock of the
Company, $0.001 par value per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, intending to be
legally bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows.
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK.
1.1. OFFERING. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at
the Closing the Company shall sell and issue to each of the Purchasers, and each
of the Purchasers shall severally, and not jointly, purchase from the Company,
the number of shares of Common Stock (the "SHARES") equal to the investment
amount set forth opposite the Purchaser's name on Exhibit I divided by the Per
Share Purchase Price (as defined below). Additional investors mutually
acceptable to Mi3 and the Company may be added to Exhibit I at or prior to the
Closing, and upon execution by such additional investors of a counterpart
signature page to this Agreement, such additional investors shall be deemed a
Purchaser hereunder and shall be subject to and may rely upon the
representations, warranties, terms and conditions contained herein.
Additionally, Purchasers may assign a portion of their subscription hereunder to
additional investors at or prior to the Closing, whereupon Exhibit I will be
adjusted accordingly and upon execution by such additional investors of a
counterpart signature page to this Agreement, such additional investors shall be
deemed a Purchaser hereunder and shall be subject to and may rely upon the
representations, warranties, terms and conditions contained herein.
1
1.2. PURCHASE PRICE. Immediately prior to the Closing, the per share
purchase price for the Shares (the "PER SHARE PURCHASE PRICE") shall be
determined as follows, payable as set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement:
$14,000,000 divided by the sum of:
(a) the number of shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock
less 4,070,000; plus
(b) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available
for issuance pursuant to the Option Plans (as defined below
and assuming the increase contemplated herein); plus
(c) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all
subscriptions, warrants, options, convertible securities and
other rights (contingent or otherwise) to purchase or acquire
any shares of capital stock of the Company.
The per share purchase price shall be calculated by the Company and subject to
verification and acceptance by the Purchasers.
1.3. PROCEEDS. Proceeds from the sale of the Shares and from the
Shareholder Purchase Offering will be used only for the following purposes and
appropriately related administrative costs, in the following order of priority,
subject to changes authorized by a majority of the Directors after the Closing:
- all necessary steps to obtain approval by the Food and Drug
Administration (the "FDA") for the use of PH-50 as a CT contrast
agent, including the cost of reformulation and toxicity testing in
the event that the initial Phase 1 trials uncover an adverse effect
in humans;
- all necessary steps to obtain approval by the FDA for the use of
N-1177 as a lymphography contrast agent;
- pre-clinical exploration of the use of PH-50 to identify vulnerable
plaque; and
- acquisition or licensing of compounds to build a product pipeline
for the Company.
Pending use of the proceeds in accordance with the preceding sentence, the
proceeds will be invested in securities issued or guaranteed by the United
States, national bank repurchase agreements secured by such securities or such
other types of investments as may be approved by a majority of the Directors
after the Closing, but in no event in such a manner that would cause the Company
to be deemed an Investment Company as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
2
2. THE CLOSING. The closing of the sale and purchase of the Shares pursuant to
this Agreement shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx & Green, P.C.,
000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000 as soon as practicable upon
approval of the transactions contemplated herein by the stockholders of the
Company, or at such other time, date, and place as are mutually agreeable to the
Company and the Purchasers (the "CLOSING"). The date of the Closing is
hereinafter referred to as the "CLOSING DATE." At the Closing, the Company shall
deliver to each Purchaser a certificate representing the Shares purchased by
such Purchaser of Common Stock registered in the name of such Purchaser. The
purchase price for the Shares shall be paid by wire transfer, certified or
cashier's check or another method acceptable to the Company, including
conversion of outstanding debt. If at the Closing any of the conditions
specified in Section 5 of this Agreement shall not have been fulfilled, each
Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all of its obligations under
this Agreement without thereby waiving any other right it may have by reason of
such failure or such non-fulfillment. If at the Closing any of the conditions
specified in Section 6 of this Agreement shall not have been fulfilled, the
Company shall, at its election, be relieved of all of its obligations under this
Agreement without thereby waiving any other right it may have by reason of such
failure or such non-fulfillment.
3. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure

material adverse effect on the business, operations, financial condition,
assets, prospects, liabilities or contractual rights of the Company, whether
individually or taken as a whole (a "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT"). The Company has,
or prior to the Closing will have, duly authorized the sale and issuance,

3.3. AUTHORIZATION. The Financing Documents are valid and binding
obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms. The
execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate or other action of the Company. The

been, or will be prior to the Closing, duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Company. The Shares when so issued, sold and
delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No
consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing

the periods shown, and such financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied

and subsisting agreement, duly authorized and entered into, without any default
of the Company thereunder and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, without

any leased real or personal property under valid and enforceable leases with no
exceptions that would materially interfere with the use made or currently
planned to be made thereof by them.

7.7. LISTING OF SHARES. The Company shall take such action as may be
required to cause the Shares to be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market no later
than the date on which the Registration Statement is first declared effective by
the SEC. Further, if the Company applies to have its Common Stock or other
securities traded on any other principal stock exchange or
20
market, it shall include the Shares in such application and will take such other
action as is necessary to cause such Common Stock to be so listed. The Company
will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of
its Common Stock on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market and, in accordance, therewith,
will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all respects with the
Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of
such exchange, as applicable.
8. GENERAL.
8.1. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The provisions of this Agreement shall bind
and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs,
executors, and administrators of the parties hereto, including but not limited
to assigns of the Purchasers pursuant to Section 1.1 of this Agreement.
8.2. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and
warranties shall survive and remain in full force and effect after the Closing
with respect to the Company.
8.3. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each Purchaser and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees
and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating,
preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened
and the costs of enforcement hereof) to which such person or entity may become
subject as a result of and will reimburse any such person or entity for all such
amounts as they are incurred by such person or entity as a result of (a) any
breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be
performed on the part of the Company under the Financing Documents, (b) any
claim that any outstanding capital stock of the Company is not duly and validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, including but not limited to capital
stock issued to Ballsbridge Finance Limited and/or Elan or their affiliates,
and/or (c) any claim, investigation or proceeding by the SEC or any other
governmental authority with respect to the Company's relationship or
transactions with Elan, Sentigen Ltd. or their affiliates.
8.4. CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Promptly after receipt by
any person or entity (the "INDEMNIFIED PERSON") of notice of any demand, claim
or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement
of any action, proceeding or investigation by a third party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof, such Indemnified Person
shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the
defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses;
provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the
extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In
any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its
own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person
shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the
reasonable judgment of
21
counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such
Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated
above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could
have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.
8.5. NOTICES. All notices, requests, consents and other communications
under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, by
telecopier, by express overnight courier service or mailed by first class mail,
postage prepaid, to the respective addresses set forth on the signature pages of
this Agreement, as such addresses may be modified by notice given pursuant to
this Section 8.5, with copies provided simultaneously to counsel as set forth on
the signature pages of this Agreement. Notices provided in accordance with this
Section 8.5 shall be deemed delivered upon personal delivery, receipt by
telecopy or overnight mail, or 48 hours after deposit in the mail in accordance
with the above.
8.6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with the instruments and
other documents hereby contemplated to be executed and delivered in connection
herewith, contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto,
and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between or among them,
with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule attached hereto, and the other agreements
between the Company and the Purchasers, the Company makes no representation or
warranty, express or implied, with respect to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or such other agreements, the business of the Company, the
Company, the Company's assets or its future prospects. No party is relying on
any understandings, agreements or representations other than those expressly
contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule attached hereto or such
other agreements.
8.7. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in
this Agreement, any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of
any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular
instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of
the Company and the Purchasers. No waivers of or exceptions to any term,
condition or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be
deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term,
condition or provision.
8.8. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
22
8.9. CAPTIONS. The captions of the sections, subsections and paragraphs
of this Agreement have been added for convenience only and shall not be deemed
to be a part of this Agreement.
8.10. SEVERABILITY. Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted
in such manner as to validate and give effect thereto to the fullest lawful
extent, but if any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent so determined and such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
8.11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted
and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts;
provided, however, that matters relating to the authorization, issuance and
enforceability of the terms of the Common Stock shall be governed and
interpreted and construed in accordance with the
Nevada General Corporation Law.
The Company irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts for the purpose of any suit,
action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any
such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in
the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under
this Agreement. The Company irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such
court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such
court. The Company irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of
any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably
waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such
court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
8.12. EXCULPATION AMONG PURCHASERS. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is
not relying upon any person, firm or corporation, other than the Company and its
officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the
Company. Each Purchaser agrees that no Purchaser nor the respective controlling
persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Purchaser
shall be liable for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them in connection with the Common Stock.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS
OF
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
OF
PHOTOGEN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
We, the undersigned, for the purpose of amending and restating the Amended
and Restated Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Series A
Preferred Stock of Photogen Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (the "Corporation") and in
accordance with the provisions of Title 7, Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised
Statutes, hereby certify:
That pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the
Corporation (the "Board of Directors") by the Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors on ________________,
2002 adopted the following resolution, pursuant to Article FOURTH of the
Corporation's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, thereby amending
and restating a series of shares of Preferred Stock designated as Series A
Preferred Stock:
"RESOLVED, that pursuant to Article FOURTH of the Corporation's Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Series A Preferred Stock is hereby
amended in its entirety and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation,
Preferences and Rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, filed on November 5,
1999 with the Secretary of State of Nevada, is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety as follows:
1. DESIGNATION. 12,015 shares of Preferred Stock shall be designated and
known as the "Series A Preferred Stock." Such number of shares may be increased
or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors after obtaining the consent
of a majority in interest of the holder(s) of the then-outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares
then outstanding plus the number of such shares issuable upon exercise of
outstanding rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding
securities issued by the Corporation.
2. DIVIDEND PROVISIONS.
(A) From and after the date hereof, when and if the Board of
Directors shall declare a dividend or distribution payable with respect to the
then-outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the amount of dividends per share
in the same form as such Common Stock dividends that would be payable on the
largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into which a holder's aggregate
shares of Series A Preferred Stock could then be converted pursuant to Section 4
hereof (such number to be determined as of the record date for the determination
of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend).
(B) In addition to Section 2(A) above, each share of Series A
Preferred Stock, for a period of six years from the date of first issuance of
the Series A Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to receive a mandatory dividend
equal to 7.0% per year of the Original Issue Price (as defined below) thereof.
Such dividend shall (1) be cumulative and shall compound on a semi-annual basis,
the first compounding to commence six months from the date hereof and (2) be
payable semi-annually solely by the issuance of additional shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, at a price per share equal to the Original Issue Price thereof,
and not in cash. Fractional shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issuable
for purposes hereunder.
3. NO LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary
or involuntary (collectively, a "Liquidation"), the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any liquidation preference, out
of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its
shareholder. In the event of any Liquidation, the Series A Preferred shall rank
parri passu with the Common Stock in any distribution of the assets of the
Corporation to stockholders in their capacities as such.
4. CONVERSION. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have
conversion rights, through and including the Conversion Termination Date (as
defined below), as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):
(A) RIGHT TO CONVERT.
(i) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time that is two years
after the issuance thereof, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer
agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares
of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) the sum of the Original Issue
Price of such share of Series A Preferred Stock (including all shares issued as
dividends thereon) and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon by (y) the
Series A Conversion Price (as defined below). The "Series A Conversion Price"
shall initially be $3.00 and shall be subject to adjustment as set forth below
in this Section 4(a); provided, however, that the Series A Conversion Price
shall not exceed $3.00.
(ii) Before any holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to convert such shares into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall
surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office
of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock,
and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate
office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or
names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to
be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and
deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, or to the
nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number
of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as set forth
above. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to
the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive
the shares of Common Stock issuable
-2-
upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date.
(iii) In the event the Corporation should at any time fix a
record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of
Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the
holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common
Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of
any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or
the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof) or with payment that is less than
the then-market price of the Common Stock (including, in the case of Common
Stock Equivalents, on an as-converted basis) then, as of such record date (or
the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date
is fixed), the Series A Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to
such increase of the aggregate of (a) shares of Common Stock outstanding and (b)
those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents, with the number of
shares issuable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents determined from time to
time as provided in Section 4(a)(v) below.
(iv) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any
time is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
then, following the record date of such combination, the Series A Conversion
Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of
such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding
shares.
(v) The following provisions shall apply for purposes of this
Section 4(a):
(a) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents
(assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or
exercisability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, but without
taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) shall be deemed to have
been issued at the time such Common Stock Equivalents were issued.
(b) In the event of any change in the number of shares
of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to the Corporation
upon conversion or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents including, but not
limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the
Series A Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent in any
way affected by or computed using such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be
recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for
the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon
the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such
securities.
-3-
(c) Upon the termination or expiration of the
convertibility or exercisability of any such Common Stock Equivalents, the
Series A Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent in any
way affected by or computed using such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be
recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock
(and Common Stock Equivalents which remain convertible or exercisable) actually
issued upon the conversion or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents.
5. EXCHANGE RIGHT. Provided that (a) all shares of Series A
Preferred Stock initially issued and sold by the Corporation to Elan
International Services, Ltd. or its successors and assigns ("EIS") have not been
converted and (b) the Exchange Termination Date (as defined below) shall not
have occurred, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (acting by act of the
majority holders thereof) shall have the right to exchange all of their shares
of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Exchange Right") of the Corporation for such
number of shares of Common Shares (as adjusted for any combinations or divisions
or similar recapitalizations) of Sentigen, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted limited
liability company ("Sentigen") held by the Corporation, so that, after giving
effect to the exercise of the Exchange Right, EIS and the Corporation will each
hold 50% of the total outstanding share capital of Sentigen assuming that
neither EIS nor the Corporation has sold any shares of Sentigen; provided, that
if EIS exercises the Exchange Right prior to a date that is three years after
the date hereof, the Corporation shall deliver to Sentigen for exchange the
number of Common Shares of Sentigen that would otherwise be delivered to EIS
pursuant to this Section 5, and EIS shall receive from Sentigen, upon the
exchange of such Common Shares, a number of shares of a newly-created non-voting
convertible preferred stock of Sentigen equal to such number of Common Shares
delivered to Sentigen by the Corporation. Such non-voting preferred stock shall
be convertible into Common Shares of Sentigen on a one-for-one basis at any time
after such three-year period. Upon exercise of the Exchange Right, the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock originally purchased from the Corporation, but not
including any of the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, shall be canceled and
shall no longer be entitled to any rights in the Corporation. If any shares of
the Series A Preferred Stock are converted pursuant to Section 4(a), to shares
of Common Stock, the Exchange Right with respect to the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock originally purchased from the Corporation, but not including any
of the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, shall be canceled and shall no
longer be entitled to any rights in the Corporation. In order to exercise the
Exchange Right, the holders shall provide written notice thereof to the
Corporation, setting forth (a) the fact that such holders intend to exercise the
Exchange Right, and (b) the proposed date for such exercise (the "Exercise
Date"), which shall be between 10 and 30 days after the date of such notice,
provided, however, that if the Corporation shall deliver the holders a written
request to delay the date for such exercise by no more than 45 days, the
Exercise Date will be as set forth in that request. During the period after the
receipt of such written request, and before the Exercise Date, the holders shall
negotiate with the Corporation in good faith an alternative mechanism for the
transfer of the Common Shares or Preferred Stock of Sentigen that will reduce
the Corporation's tax liability, provided that the holders shall not be required
to agree to any transaction which is financially disadvantageous to them. On the
Exercise Date, (y) the holders shall tender their shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to the Corporation for cancellation, and (z) the Corporation shall cause
to be delivered to EIS, acting on behalf of such holders, such shares of
Sentigen. The holders and the
-4-
Corporation shall take all other necessary or appropriate actions in connection
with or to effect such closing.
6. TERMINATION DATE.
(A) The rights of the holders to convert the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, shall terminate and be of no
further force and effect on the date that is six years after the date of the
first issuance of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock hereunder (the
"Conversion Termination Date").
(B) The rights of the holders to exercise the Exchange Right
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the date that is six
years after the date of the first issuance of any shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock hereunder (the "Exchange Termination Date").
7. OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. On or prior to the Conversion Termination
Date, in the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution payable in
securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation
or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not
referred to in Section 4, then, in each such case for the purpose of this
Section 7, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a
proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of
the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their shares
of Series A Preferred Stock would be convertible as of the record date fixed for
the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to
receive such distribution.
8. RECAPITALIZATIONS. On or prior to the Conversion Termination
Date, if at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of
the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of
assets provided for in Section 3 or Section 4 hereof) provision shall be made so
that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to
receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock the number of shares of
stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to which
a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on
such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in
the application of the provisions of Section 4 with respect to the rights of the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end
that the provisions of Section 4 (including adjustment of the Series A
Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
9. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its
Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of
all the provisions hereof and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order
-5-
to protect the Series A Conversion Rights and Exchange Right of the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.
10. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES AND CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS.
(A) No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of
any share or shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether
or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined
on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock each
holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock issuable to each such holder upon such conversion. No
fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of
the Series A Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether or not fractional
shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the
total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the holder is at the time
converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such aggregate conversion.
(B) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of
the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to Section 4, the Corporation, at its
expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder
of Series A Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a
like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment and readjustment, (ii) the
Series A Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares
of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time
would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock.
11. RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The Corporation
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common
Stock that shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock not otherwise reserved
for issuance shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then
outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to such other
remedies as shall be available to the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock,
the Corporation will take such corporate action that may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes,
including without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite
shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to its Articles of
Incorporation.
12. NOTICES. Any notice required by the provisions hereof to be given
to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed given on
the date of service if
-6-
served personally on the party to whom notice is to be given, or on the date of
transmittal of services by facsimile transmission to the party to whom notice is
to be given, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on
the books of the Corporation.
13. VOTING RIGHTS. Subject to Section 14 below, holders of Series A
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote, including with respect to the
election of directors of the Corporation.
14. PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS. Subject to the rights of any series of
preferred stock that may from time to time come into existence, so long as any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not
without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by
law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series:
(A) amend its Restated Articles of Incorporation so as to
affect adversely the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any holder thereof
(including by creating any additional classes or series of preferred stock with
a liquidation preference senior to or PARI PASSU with the Series A Preferred
Stock); or
(B) change the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock in any other respect.
15. STATUS OF CONVERTED STOCK. In the event any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 4 or exchanged pursuant
to Section 5 hereof, the shares so converted or exchanged shall be canceled and
shall not be reissuable by the Corporation. The Restated Articles of
Incorporation of the Corporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the
corresponding reduction in the Corporation's authorized capital stock.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Amended and
Restated Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series A
Preferred Stock to be duly executed by its President and duly attested to by its
Secretary as of ___________________, 2002.

respect to the Mi3's investment in the Company; and (ii) that such individual
shall be subject to exclusion from portions of meetings as necessary to preserve
attorney-client privilege with respect to pending or threatened litigation..
2. DRAG-ALONG AGREEMENT.
2.1 If at any time after the third year anniversary of this Agreement
the Company receives an offer from a third party to purchase all or
substantially all of the assets or equity of the Company, and the Venture
Stockholders propose to sell a majority of their shares at that time, and the
sale has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors (with
the Chicago Stockholder nominee director recusing himself) (a "COMPANY SALE"),
then the Venture Stockholders shall have the right to require all, but not less
than all, of the Chicago Stockholders to sell to the prospective purchaser of
the Venture Stockholders' shares, a pro-rata
3
portion of such Chicago Shareholders' shares at the same time and on the same
conditions as the Venture Stockholders are selling their shares.
2.2 The rights and obligations created in this Section 2 shall
terminate upon the consummation of an underwritten public offering pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, covering the offering and sale of Common Stock for the account of the
Corporation on a firm commitment basis in which the gross proceeds received by
the Corporation at the public offering price equals or exceeds $20,000,000 (a
"TERMINATION EVENT").
2.3 If the Venture Stockholders elect to exercise their rights under
this Section 2, the Venture Stockholders shall furnish a written notice (the
"DRAG ALONG NOTICE") to each Chicago Stockholder. The Drag Along Notice shall
set forth the principal terms of the proposed Company Sale insofar as it relates
to such Shares including (i) the number of Shares to be acquired from the
Venture Stockholders, (ii) the form and amount of the per share consideration to
be received in the proposed Company Sale, (iii) the name and address of the
prospective buyer and (iv) the proposed date of consummation of the proposed
Company Sale. If the Company Sale is consummated as described in the Drag Along
Notice, each Chicago Stockholder shall be bound and obligated to sell his or its
Shares in the proposed Sale on the same terms and conditions with respect to
each Share sold as the Venture Stockholders shall sell their Shares in the
Company Sale. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Chicago
Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably
specified by the Venture Stockholders to which such Venture Stockholders will
also be party, including, without limitation, agreements to (a) (i) make
individual representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements as to the
unencumbered title to his or its Shares and the power, authority and legal right
to transfer such Shares and the absence of any adverse claim with respect to
such Shares and (ii) be liable without limitation as to such representations,
warranties, covenants and other agreements, and (b) be liable (whether by
purchase price adjustment, indemnity payments or otherwise) in respect of
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in respect of the Company
and its subsidiaries up to his or its pro-rata portion of the proceeds of such
Sale.
3. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT. The provisions of this Section 3
shall not apply to transactions pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or transactions pursuant to any registration statement under
the Securities Act.
3.1 SALES TO THIRD PARTIES. If a Stockholder desires to transfer (a
"SELLING STOCKHOLDER") all or any part of the Shares beneficially owned by him
or it (the "OFFERED SHARES") in a privately-negotiated transaction pursuant to a
bona fide offer or proposed offer (the "PROPOSED OFFER SALE") from a third party
or a proposed offer to a third party (the "PROPOSED TRANSFEREE"), the Selling
Stockholder shall first submit a written offer (the "OFFER") to sell such
Offered Shares first to the Company, and second to the Venture Stockholders
(together, the "OFFEREES"), if applicable, on terms and conditions, including
without limitation price, not less favorable to the Company and the Offerees
than those on which the Selling Stockholder proposes to sell such Offered Shares
to the Proposed Transferee or otherwise pursuant to the Proposed Offer Sale in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
4
The Offer shall disclose the identity of and, if available,
information about the Proposed Transferee, and the terms of the Proposed Offer
Sale, the number of Offered Shares proposed to be sold, the total number of
Shares owned by the Selling Stockholder, the terms and conditions, including
without limitation, price, of the proposed sale, and any other material terms
and facts relating to the proposed sale which may be requested by the Company
and the Offerees, as the case may be. The Offer shall further state that the
Company and the Offerees may acquire, in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, all of the Offered Shares (but not less than all of the Offered
Shares) for the price indicated in the Offer and upon the other terms and
conditions, including deferred or installment payment (if applicable), set forth
therein.
In the event the terms of the Proposed Offer Sale contemplate the
payment to the Selling Stockholder of consideration other than cash, the value
of such non-cash consideration shall be determined in good faith by the
disinterested members of the Company's Board of Directors; provided that if the
Proposed Transferee offers the Selling Stockholder (i) securities that are
traded on a nationally-recognized stock exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market, then the value of such consideration shall be the average
closing sale prices for the 10 consecutive trading days preceding the date of
the Offer, or (ii) securities that are traded on the Nasdaq over-the-counter
market or Small-Cap market, the value of such consideration shall be the average
of the closing bid and closing asked prices for the 20 consecutive trading days
preceding the date of the Offer as reported in the Wall Street Journal or by any
market maker.
3.2 COMPANY'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Upon receipt of the Offer, the
Company shall deliver a written notice of its election to purchase, or not to
purchase, such shares to the Selling Stockholder and the Offerees. The notice
shall be delivered in person or mailed to the Selling Stockholder and the
Offerees within 15 days of the date of receipt by the Company of the Offer. Such
notice, if to purchase the Offered Shares, shall, when taken in conjunction with
the Offer, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable
agreement for the sale to, and purchase by, the Company of the number of Offered
Shares specified by the Company in such notice and on the terms of the Offer.
The Company's election not to participate in an Offer shall be without prejudice
to the Company's rights to participate in any future Offers in accordance with
this Section 3.
The closing of the sale of Offered Shares to the Company pursuant to this
Section shall be made at the offices of the Company on such date as may be
agreed upon by the Company and the Selling Stockholder, but no later than on or
before the 45th day following the date the Offer is received by the Company (or
if such 45th day is not a business day, then on the next succeeding business
day). Such sale shall be effected by the Selling Stockholder's delivery to the
Company of a certificate(s) evidencing the Offered Shares (or any portion
thereof) to be purchased by the Company, duly endorsed for transfer to the
Company, against payment to the Selling Stockholder of the purchase price by the
Company.
3.3 OFFEREES' RIGHT OF SECOND REFUSAL. Upon receipt of the Offer, and
subject to the prior right of the Company under Section 3.2 above, if the
Offerees also desire to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares not so
purchased by the Company, the Offerees shall deliver a written notice of its
election to purchase or not to purchase such shares to the Selling Stockholder
and the Company. In the event that one or more of the Offerees wish to
5
purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares, not so purchased by the Company,
then each such of the Offerees shall have the right to purchase that number of
shares equal to the number of such Offered Shares to be sold multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of capital stock
of the Company (calculated on an as-converted basis, and assuming the conversion
or exercise of all rights, options, warrants or convertible securities) then
owned by such Offeree desiring to purchase the Offered Shares, as the case may
be, and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of shares of
capital stock of the Company (calculated on an as-converted basis, and assuming
the conversion or exercise of all rights, options, warrants or convertible
securities) owned by all of the Offerees. An Offeree's election not to
participate in an Offer shall be without prejudice to the Offeree's rights to
participate in any future Offers in accordance with this Section 3.
The notice shall be delivered in person or mailed to the Selling
Stockholder and the Company within fifteen (15) days of the date of receipt by
the Offerees of the Offer. Such notice, if to purchase the Offered Shares,
shall, when taken in conjunction with the Offer, and subject to the prior right
of the Company under Section 3.2 above, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally
binding and enforceable agreement for the sale to, and purchase by, the Offerees
of the number of Offered Shares specified by the Offerees in such notice and on
the terms of the Offer.
The closing of the sale of Offered Shares to the Offerees pursuant to
this Section 3.3 shall be made at the offices of the Company on such date as may
be agreed upon by the Offerees and the Selling Stockholder, but no later than on
or before the 45th day following the date the Offer is received by the Company
(or if such 45th day is not a business day, then on the next succeeding business
day). Such sale shall be effected by the Selling Stockholder's delivery to the
Offerees of a certificate(s) evidencing the Offered Shares (or any portion
thereof) to be purchased by the Offerees, duly endorsed for transfer to the
Offerees, against payment to the Selling Stockholder of the purchase price by
the Offerees.
3.4 SALES TO PROPOSED TRANSFEREE. In order for the provisions of
Section 3.1 to be valid and binding on the Selling Stockholder to restrict
transfers to a third party, the Company and the Offerees, must, as amongst
themselves, purchase all, and not less than all, of the Offered Shares. If the
Company and the Offerees do not purchase all (and, as amongst themselves, not
less than all) of the Offered Shares, the Offered Shares may be sold by the
Selling Stockholder to the Proposed Transferee at any time within 180 days after
the date the Offer was made pursuant to the Proposed Offer Sale. Any such sale
shall be at the same or greater price and upon other terms and conditions, if
any, not more favorable to the transferee than those specified in the Offer. Any
Offered Shares not sold within the permitted time period shall continue to be
subject to the requirements of a prior offer and right of first refusal pursuant
to Section 3.1.
3.5 NO OTHER TRANSFERS. A Stockholder shall not sell, assign,
transfer, grant an option to or for, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber or
dispose of all or any of his or its shares of capital stock of the Company
except as expressly provided in this Agreement. If a Stockholder becomes
obligated to sell to a Venture Stockholder any Shares as a Selling Stockholder
under this Agreement and fails to deliver the Shares in accordance with the
terms of
6
this Agreement, such Venture Stockholder may, at its option, upon ten days'
prior written notice to the Company and the Selling Stockholder, in addition to
all other remedies it may have, send to the Company for the benefit of the
Selling Stockholder the purchase price for such shares as is herein specified.
Thereupon, the Company upon written notice to the Selling Stockholder shall (a)
cancel on its books the certificate(s) representing the shares to be sold, (b)
issue, in lieu thereof, in the name of such Venture Stockholder(s), a new
certificate(s) representing such shares, and (c) pay or tender the proceeds paid
by the Venture Stockholder to the Selling Stockholder, and thereupon all of the
Selling Stockholder's rights in and to such shares shall terminate. The Company
may exercise a similar remedy in enforcing its rights under Section 3.1. If a
Selling Stockholder transfers any shares to a Proposed Transferee in violation
of this Agreement, the Company may, at the election of a majority of the
disinterested members of the Company's Board of Directors, cancel on the books
of the Company any shares of capital stock then held by such Proposed Transferee
and compel such Selling Stockholder to purchase from the Proposed Transferee the
shares of capital stock so transferred in violation of this Agreement.
3.6 TERM. The rights and obligations created in this Section 3 shall
terminate upon the consummation of a Termination Event.
4. LEGEND ON STOCK CERTIFICATE. Each certificate representing Shares
covered by this Agreement is subject to and shall bear the restrictive legend
set forth below:
The stock evidenced by this certificate is subject to a Voting,
Drag-Along and Right of First Refusal Agreement dated as of July
[ ], 2002, as amended from time to time. Copies of the Agreement
may be obtained from the Secretary of the Company at no cost by
written request of the holder of record of this certificate.
5. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
5.1 Each of the parties hereto agrees that he or it will do (or cause
to be done) any act or thing and will execute (or cause to be executed) any and
all instruments necessary and/or proper to make effective the provisions of this
Agreement. Each Stockholder represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each
other party hereto that (a) any transferee holding Shares over which such
Stockholder remains the Beneficial Owner shall execute and deliver a counterpart
of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions hereof as if such
transferee was an original party hereto; and (b) such Stockholder shall provide
each other party hereto true and complete information concerning the Beneficial
Ownership of Shares in the hands of transferees. The parties are executing this
Agreement in all applicable individual and representative capacities (including
as attorney-in-fact or joint tenant, and as stockholder, officer, director,
trustee, general partner or limited partner of any entity which Beneficially
Owns Common Stock of the Company attributable to that party). This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
legal representatives, heirs and legatees.
5.2 The section headings in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience of reference only, and shall not affect the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement.
7
5.3 The failure at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not
affect the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of
this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
5.4 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to
conflict of laws principles thereof, except to the extent the Nevada General
Corporation Law govern portions hereof.
5.5 It is acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure the
damages that would be suffered by any party if another party fails to comply
with the provisions of this Agreement and that in the event of any such failure,
the non-defaulting party will not have an adequate remedy at law. The
non-defaulting party shall, therefore, be entitled to obtain specific

FORM OF CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
Proprietary Rights, Employee Restrictions*
[Photogen Technologies, Inc. letterhead]
[Date]
RE: EMPLOYEE CONFIDENTIALITY, INVENTIONS AND
NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT")
Dear _________________:
In the course of your work for Photogen Technologies, Inc. or any of
its subsidiaries existing on and after the date hereof (collectively,
"Photogen"), you may have access to Photogen's confidential and proprietary
information and/or you may create Developments (defined below). For legally
sufficient consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which you acknowledge, you
and Photogen agree as follows:
1. Definitions. The following terms are defined for purposes of
this Agreement:
(a) "Confidential Information" means any and all information that
has or could have value or utility to Photogen, whether or not reduced to
written or other tangible form and all copies thereof, relating to Photogen's
private or proprietary matters, confidential matters or trade secrets.
Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(i) technical information (whether or not subject to patent
registration or protection), such as research and development, methods,
trade secrets, know-how, formulas, compositions, protocols, processes and
techniques, discoveries, machines, inventions, ideas, computer programs
(including software and data used in all such programs), drawings,
specifications;
(ii) except to the extent publicly disclosed by Photogen without any
fault by you or any other person or entity, information relating to
Photogen's patents, patent applications, and patent disclosures, together
with all reissuances, continuations, continuations-in-part, revisions,
extensions, and reexaminations thereof, and all improvements and inventions
related thereto;
(iii) business information, such as information concerning any
products, customers, suppliers, production, developments, costs,
purchasing,
----------
* Employees and consultants have signed non-disclousure and inventions
agreements in substance comparable to the Exhibit C.
pricing, profits, markets, sales, accounts, customers, financing,
acquisitions, strategic alliances or collaborations, expansions; and
(iv) other information relating to Photogen's business practices,
strategies or policies.
(b) "Competitive Business" means engaging in the research,
development, sale, lease, marketing, financing or distribution of technology,
products or services similar to or competitive with Photogen's actual or
proposed products or services anywhere in the world.
(c) "Development" means any invention, discovery, improvement,
know-how, method, technique, work, copyrightable work or other intellectual
property (whether or not patentable or subject to registration with any
governmental office) you conceive, reduce to practice, discover or make, alone
or with others, during your employment and for twelve (12) months after
termination (regardless of the reason for termination) that either is (i)
related to or may be useful in the business or demonstrably anticipated business
of Photogen, (ii) includes, or is a product or extension of, any Confidential
Information, or (iii) results from duties assigned to you by Photogen or from
the use of any of Photogen's assets or facilities.
(d) "Restricted Period" means a period (i) starting when you begin
working for Photogen, and (ii) ending on the earlier of: (A) twenty-four (24)
months after termination of your employment (regardless of the reason for
termination), or (B) if you work less than a total of 24 months, that number of
months after termination of your employment which equals the total number of
months you worked for Photogen (for example, if you work for Photogen for a
total of six months, the Restricted Period will end six months after your
employment terminates), or (C) the longest period (if any) permitted by
applicable law after termination of your employment which is less than 24
months.
2. Confidential Information. (a) During your employment by
Photogen and at all times thereafter, you will hold in trust, keep confidential
and not disclose, directly or indirectly, to any third parties or make any use
of Confidential Information (defined below) for any purpose except for the
benefit of Photogen in the performance of your employment duties. Confidential
Information will not be subject to these restrictions if it becomes generally
known to the public or in the industry without any fault by you or any other
person or entity, or if Photogen ceases to have a legally protectable interest
in it. If you are required by valid subpoena or similar legal requirement to
disclose Confidential Information, you will promptly notify Photogen in writing
and cooperate with Photogen's efforts to obtain a protective order or similar
relief, and you will only disclose the minimum amount of Confidential
Information necessary. Upon termination of your employment (regardless of the
reason for termination), you will immediately return to Photogen all tangible
Confidential Information and any other material made or derived from
Confidential Information, including information stored in electronic format and
handwritten notes, which is in your possession or which you delivered to others.
3. Developments. You agree to promptly and fully disclose in
writing to Photogen, Inc.'s President any Development when created or developed.
You hereby assign and transfer to Photogen, Inc. all of your right, title and
interest in and to all Developments, including all patents, patent applications
and related patent rights. You agree to sign and deliver to Photogen, Inc.
(during and after employment) other documents Photogen, Inc. considers necessary
or desirable to evidence its ownership of Developments. All copyrightable works
that are Developments, whether or not works made for hire (as defined in 17
U.S.C. Section 101), shall be owned by Photogen, Inc. and it may file and own
the same as the author throughout the world. If Photogen, Inc. is unable for any
reason to secure your signature on any document necessary or desirable to apply
for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce any patent, trademark, service xxxx,
copyright, or other right or protection relating to any Development, you hereby
irrevocably designate and appoint Photogen, Inc. and each of its duly authorized
officers and agents, as your agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and in your
behalf and stead to execute and file any such document and to do all other
lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of
patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, or other rights or protections
with the same force and effect as if personally executed and delivered by you.
You agree that this power of attorney is irrevocable and is coupled with an
interest and thereby survives your death or disability.
4. Noncompetition.
(a) You acknowledge that you may have access to a significant
amount of highly sensitive and valuable Confidential Information, you may be
involved in formulating Photogen's business strategies or in its research and
development activities, and you may be involved in important aspects of
relationships with employees, consultants, suppliers, customers and others and
you will be expected to promote Photogen's business and goodwill. You also
acknowledge that Photogen's business is international in scope and that
Photogen's employees and customers in any location can be solicited and serviced
from any other location in the world.
(b) You therefore agree that during the Restricted Period, you will
not, directly or indirectly through any other person or entity:
(i) own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, be employed
by, or render services for, any person or entity engaged in a Competitive
Business or in any other manner or in any other capacity (except as owner
of 2% or less of stock of a publicly registered and traded entity) engage
in any Competitive Business;
(ii) solicit, induce or attempt to influence any other person or
entity to engage in any Competitive Business or to curtail or cease any
business or business relationship with the Company, its affiliates,
employees or independent contractors;
(iii) solicit any other employee or independent contractor to
terminate any employment or engagement with the Company and engage in a
Competitive Business; or
(iv) disparage the Company, its affiliates, employees, independent
contractors or their services or products.
5. No Conflicts. You represent and warrant to, and agree with
Photogen that:
(a) You are under no contractual or other obligation or restriction
which is inconsistent with your obligations under this Agreement or the
performance of your employment duties for Photogen. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, performing your employment duties for Photogen will
not cause you to breach any agreement or other duty which obligates you to keep
in confidence any confidential, proprietary, trade secret or similar information
of any third party or to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with
the business of any third party.
(b) You have set forth in a separate list attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit A an accurate and complete list of all confidential,
proprietary or trade secret information (including invention disclosures and
patent applications), including a brief description thereof (without revealing
any confidential or proprietary information of any other party), which you made
or conceived prior to your employment with Photogen and for which you claim
ownership or which is in the physical possession of a former employer or other
person or entity and which are therefore excluded from the scope of this
Agreement. If there are no such exclusions, you have so indicated by writing
"none."
(c) Neither you nor any third party has any ownership or other
interest in any idea, invention or other item of intellectual property that will
be used in performing your duties for Photogen, and all Developments will be
free and clear of any encumbrances or claims of third parties. In performing
your duties for Photogen, you will not disclose to Photogen or use any
confidential or proprietary information or trade secret of any third party, and
you will not interfere with the business of any third party in any way contrary
to applicable law.
(d) In performing your duties for Photogen, you will comply with
applicable laws and regulations.
6. No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect
your or Photogen's right to terminate your employment or Photogen's right modify
the
terms of your employment, nor will this Agreement confer on you any other rights
or benefits in connection with your employment.
7. Severability; Choice of Law; Injunction. If any provision of
this Agreement is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable or invalid, the enforceability and validity of all other
provisions shall not be affected and that court shall modify the unenforceable
or invalid provision to the extent necessary to render it enforceable and valid
and that provision shall be enforced as modified. You agree that the time
period, geographic scope and other terms of the covenants and restrictions in
this Agreement are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances of
Photogen's business. This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee without regard to its
provisions on conflicts of law. Without limiting any other available remedies at
law or in equity, Photogen will be entitled to injunctive relief restraining any
individual or entity from participating in any breach or threatened breach of
this Agreement without having to post a bond or security.
8. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may not be amended or modified
except by a written instrument signed by both parties after the date of this
Agreement. This Agreement may be assigned by Photogen and shall inure to the
benefit of Photogen, its successors and assigns, but may not be assigned or
delegated by you. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations
and representations, written or oral, between the parties with respect to the
subject matter contained herein. Any waiver of any breach of, or failure to
enforce, any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver
of any other breach or waiver of performance of such provisions or any other
provisions. Any waiver must be in writing signed by Photogen. Your obligations
under this Agreement survive termination of your employment, regardless of the
manner or reason for termination. During, and upon termination of your
employment (regardless of the reason therefor), you will certify to Photogen in
writing that you have fully complied with each provision of this Agreement and
that you will continue to comply with all provisions herein that survive
termination.
Please indicate your agreement to the foregoing by signing a copy of
this letter below and returning it to me. I look forward to working with you.
Very truly yours,
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Ph.D., President
Accepted and Agreed to
as of __________, 2002.

Section 4. NOTICE OF ANNUAL OR SPECIAL MEETINGS. Written notice of each

proper matter may be presented at the meeting for such action. The notice of any
meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the names of nominees
intended at the time of the notice to be presented by management for election.
Notice of a stockholders' meeting shall be given either by mail or by other
means of written communication, addressed to the stockholder at the address of
such stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the
stockholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice, or, if no such address

recipient.
Section 5. QUORUM. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented
in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders.
If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares
represented at the meeting and voting at the meeting (which shares voting
affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) shall
be the act of the stockholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by
classes is required by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws and
except as provided in the following sentence. The stockholders present at a duly
called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business
until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to
leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is
approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.
Section 6. ADJOURNED MEETINGS AND NOTICE THEREOF. Any stockholders'
meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time
by the vote of a majority of the shares, represented either in person or by
proxy, but in the absence of a quorum (except as provided in Section 5 of this
Article) no other business may be transacted at such meeting. It shall not be
necessary to give any notice of the time and place of the adjourned meeting or
of the business to be transacted thereat, other than by announcement at the
meeting at which such adjournment is taken; provided, however, when any
stockholders' meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five days, or if after
adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the
adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting.
Section 7. VOTING. The stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to
vote at any such meeting shall be only persons in whose name shares stand on the
stock records of the corporation on the record date determined in accordance
with Section 8 of this Article. Voting shall in all cases be subject to the
provisions of Title 7 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and to the following
provisions:
2
(a) Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, conservator or
custodian may be voted by such holder either in person or by proxy, without a
transfer of such shares into the holder's name; and shares standing in the name
of a trustee may be voted by the trustee, either in person or by proxy, but no
trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by such trustee without a transfer
of such shares into the trustee's name.
(b) Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such
receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by
such receiver without the transfer thereof into the receiver's name if authority
to do so is contained in an order of the court by which such receiver was
appointed.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Title 7 of the Nevada Revised Statutes,
and except where otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, a stockholder
whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares
have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee
shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.
(d) Shares standing in the name of a minor may be voted and the
corporation may treat all rights incident thereto as exercisable by the minor,
in person or by proxy, whether or not the corporation has notice, actual or
constructive, of the minority, unless a guardian of the minor's property has
been appointed and written notice of such appointment given to the Secretary of
the corporation.
(e) Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or
foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxyholder as the bylaws of
such other corporation may prescribe or, in the absence of such provision, as
the Board of Directors of such other corporation may determine or, in the
absence of such determination, by the chairman of the board, president or any
vice president of such other corporation. Shares which are purported to be voted
or any proxy purported to be executed in the name of a corporation (whether or
not any title of the person signing is indicated) shall be presumed to be voted
or the proxy executed in accordance with the provisions of this clause, unless
the contrary is shown.
(f) If shares stand of record in the names of two or more persons,
whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common,
husband and wife as community property, tenants by the entirety, voting
trustees, persons entitled to vote under a stockholder voting agreement or
otherwise, or if two or more persons (including proxyholders) have the same
fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary of the
corporation is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy
of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein
it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following
effect:
(i) If only one votes, such act binds all;
(ii) If more than one vote, the act of the majority so voting binds
all; and
3
(iii) If more than one vote, but the vote is evenly split on any
particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question
proportionately. If the instrument so filed or the registration of the shares
shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even
split for the purpose of this section shall be a majority or even split in
interest.
(g) No stockholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes at any election of
directors. Elections need not be by ballot; provided, however, that all
elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand made by the Chairman of
the Board or by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote therefor
at the meeting and before the voting begins.
Section 8. RECORD DATE. The Board may fix, in advance, a record date for
the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to
vote, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or
any allotment of rights, or to exercise rights in respect of any other lawful
action. The record date so fixed shall be not more than sixty days prior to the
date of the meeting nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. When a
record date is so fixed, only stockholders of record on that date are entitled
to notice of and to vote at the meeting or to receive the dividend,
distribution, or allotment of rights, or to exercise of the rights, as the case
may be, notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the books of the corporation
after the record date. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment
of the meeting unless the Board fixed a new record date for the adjourned
meeting. The Board shall fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned for
more than forty-five days. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record
date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting
of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next
preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close
of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is
held. The record date for determining stockholders for any purpose other than as
set forth in this Section 8 or Section 10 of this Article shall be at the close
of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating
thereto, or the sixtieth day prior to the date of such other action, whichever
is later.
Section 9. CONSENT OF ABSENTEES. The transactions of any meeting of
stockholders, however called and noticed, and wherever held, are as valid as
though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is
present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the
meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not present in person or by
proxy, signs a written waiver of notice, or a consent to the holding of the
meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents, or
approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the
minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a person shall constitute a waiver of
notice of and presence at such meeting, except when the person objects, at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting
is not lawfully called or convened and except that attendance at a meeting is
not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by
Title 7 of the Nevada Revised Statutes to be
4
included in the notice but not so included, if such objection is expressly made
at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any
regular or special meeting of stockholders need be specified in any written
waiver of notice, consent to the holding of the meeting or approval of the
minutes thereof, except as provided in Title 7 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Section 10. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action which under any provision of
Title 7 of the Nevada Revised Statutes may be taken at any annual or special
meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice
if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by
the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of
votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at
which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Unless a
record date for voting purposes be fixed as provided in Section 8 of this
Article, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to give consent
to pursuant to this Section 10, when no prior action by the Board has been
taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given.
Section 11. PROXIES. Every person entitled to vote shares has the right to
do so either in person or by one or more persons authorized by a written proxy
executed by such stockholder and filed with the Secretary. Any proxy duly
executed is not revoked and continues in full force and effect until revoked by
the person executing it prior to the vote pursuant thereto by a writing
delivered to the Secretary of the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked
or by a subsequent proxy executed by the person executing the prior proxy and
presented to the meeting, or by attendance at the meeting and voting in person
by the person executing the proxy.
Section 12. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. In advance of any meeting of
stockholders, the Board may appoint inspectors of election to act at such
meeting and any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of election be not so
appointed, or if any persons so appointed fail to appear or refuse to act, the
chairman of any such meeting may, and on the request of any stockholder or
stockholder's proxy shall, make such appointment at the meeting. The number of
inspectors shall be either one or three. If appointed at a meeting on the
request of one or more stockholders or proxies, the majority of shares present
shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed. The duties
of such inspectors shall be as prescribed by Title 7 of the Nevada Revised
Statutes and shall include: determining the number of shares outstanding and the
voting power of each; determining the shares represented at the meeting;
determining the existence of a quorum; determining the authenticity, validity,
and effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots, or consents; hearing and
determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with
the right to vote; counting and tabulating all votes or consents, determining
when the polls shall close; determining the result; and doing such acts as may
be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. If
there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act, or certificate of a
majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act, or certificate of
all.
5
Section 13. CONDUCT OF MEETING. The Chairman of the Board shall preside as
Chairman at all meetings of the stockholders. The Chairman shall conduct each
such meeting in a businesslike and fair manner, but shall not be obligated to
follow any technical, formal or parliamentary rules or principles of procedure.
The Chairman's rulings on procedural matters shall be conclusive and binding on
all stockholders, unless at the time of a ruling a request for a vote is made to
the stockholders entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy at the
meeting, in which case the decision of a majority of such shares shall be
conclusive and binding on all stockholders. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Chairman shall have all of the powers usually vested in the
chairman of a meeting of stockholders.
Section 14. PARTICIPATION IN MEETING BY CONFERENCE TELEPHONE. Stockholders
may participate in a meeting of the stockholders by means of conference
telephone or similar method of communication by which all persons participating
in the meeting can hear one another.
ARTICLE III DIRECTORS
Section 1. POWERS. Subject to limitations of the Articles of Incorporation,
these Bylaws, and Title 7 of the Nevada Revised Statutes relating to action
required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the
business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate
powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board. The Board may
delegate the management of the day-to-day operation of the business of the
corporation to its officers, provided that the business and affairs of the
corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised under
the ultimate direction of the Board. Without prejudice to such general powers,
but subject to the same limitations, it is hereby expressly declared that the
Board shall have the following powers in addition to the other powers enumerated
in these Bylaws:
(a) To select and remove all the officers, agents, and employees of the
corporation, prescribe the powers and duties for them as may not be inconsistent
with law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, fix their compensation,
and require from them security for faithful service.
(b) To conduct, manage, and control the affairs and business of the
corporation and to make such rules and regulations therefor not inconsistent
with law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or
in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was
a director or officer, of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the
action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner
which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent,
does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 2. INDEMNIFICATION IN ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE
CORPORATION. The corporation shall indemnity any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, partner, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses,
including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of the
action or suit if he or
12
she acted in good faith and in manner which he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may
not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals
therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to
the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the
action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines
upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court
deems proper.
Section 3. INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST EXPENSES. To the extent that a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
Sections 1 or 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he or she must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with the defense.
Section 4. REQUIRED DETERMINATIONS. Any indemnification under Sections 1
and 2 of this Article, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section
5 of this Article, must be made by the corporation only as authorized in the
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or
officer is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:
(a) By the stockholders;
(b) By the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding;
(c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel
in a written opinion; or
(d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act,
suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion.
Section 5. ADVANCE OF EXPENSES. Expenses of officers and directors incurred
in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified
by the corporation. The provisions of this Section 5 do not affect any rights to
advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or
officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.
13
Section 6. NONEXCLUSIVITY; CONTINUATION. The indemnification and
advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this
Article VI:
(a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Articles of
Incorporation or any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
or otherwise, for either an action in his or her official capacity or an action
in another capacity while holding his or her office, except that
indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 2 of this Article
or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to Section 5 of the Article,
may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final
adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the
cause of action.
(b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and
inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.
Section 7. INSURANCE.
(a) The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other
financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for
any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by
him or her in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or
arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation has the
authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.
(b) The other financial arrangements made by the corporation pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section 7 may include the following:
(i) The creation of a trust fund.
(ii) The establishment of a program of self-insurance.
(iii) The securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting
a security interest or other lien on any assets of the corporation.
(iv) The establishment of a letter of credit, guaranty or surety.
No financial arrangement made pursuant to this subsection(b) of this Section 7
may provide protection for any person adjudged by a court of competent
jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, except with respect
to the advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.
14
(c) Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a
person pursuant to this Section 7 may be provided by the corporation or any
other person approved by the Board of Directors, even if all or part of the
other person's stock or other securities is owned by the corporation.

principal executive office the original or a copy of these Bylaws as amended to
date, which shall be open to inspection by stockholders at all reasonable times

other person, when signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or any
Vice President, and the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer or any
Assistant Treasurer of the corporation shall be valid and binding on the
corporation in the absence of actual knowledge on the part of the other person
that the signing officers had no authority to execute the same. Any such
instruments may be signed by any other person or persons and in such manner as
from time to time shall be determined by the Board and, unless so authorized by
the Board, no officer, agent, or employee shall have any power or authority to
bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to
render it liable for any purpose or amount.
Section 3. CERTIFICATES OF STOCK. Every holder of shares of the corporation
shall be entitled to have a certificate signed in the name of the corporation by
the Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President and by the
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary,
certifying the number of shares and the class or series of shares owned by the
stockholder. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile.
If any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile
signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such
officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may
be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were an
officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue. Except as provided
in this Section, no new certificate for shares shall be issued in lieu of an old
one unless the latter is surrendered and canceled at the same time. The Board
may, however, if any certificate for shares is alleged to have been lost,
stolen, or destroyed, authorize the issuance of a new certificate in lieu
thereof, and the corporation may require that the corporation be given a bond or
other adequate security sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be

certificate.

Re: Purchase of Common Stock from

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Photogen Technologies, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Common Stock Purchase
Agreement dated August 2, 2002 (the "Purchase Agreement") between the Company,
Mi3, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and certain other Purchasers
identified therein (collectively, the "Purchasers"), and the transactions
contemplated thereby. This opinion letter is furnished to you at the request of
the Company pursuant to Section 5.2.6 of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Purchase
Agreement.
DOCUMENTS EXAMINED
For purposes of rendering this opinion, with your consent, we have
limited our review of the documents to originals, or copies certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following: (a)(i) the Purchase
Agreement, (ii) the Voting, Drag-Along and Right of First Refusal Agreement
executed by the Company and certain other parties pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement (the "Voting Agreement"), (iii) the
Registration Rights Agreement
executed by the Company and Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the
Voting Agreement and
Registration Rights Agreement are collectively referred to
as the "Other Agreements") (b) the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws, as currently in effect and as proposed to be amended
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (c) resolutions of the Company's Board of
Directors and stockholders concerning the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement and Other Agreements, and (d) such other documents and
certificates of public officials and representatives of the Company as we have
deemed relevant or necessary as the basis for such opinions. Except as set forth
above, we have conducted no investigation of factual matters in connection with
this opinion.
OPINIONS
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions,
qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth below, we are of the
opinion that:
(a) The Company (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good corporate standing under the laws of the State of Nevada
and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in all
jurisdictions in which its ownership of property or the
Page 2
character of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure
to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the Company, (ii) has
all corporate power and authority under its Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws, each as amended to date, to carry on its business as now being
conducted, and (iii) has all corporate power and authority to own its property.
(b) The Purchase Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. Each of the Other
Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against it
in accordance with their terms.
(c) The execution, delivery and the performance of the Purchase
Agreement and the Other Agreements has been authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Company and the Company has the corporate
power and authority necessary to make, execute, deliver and perform the Purchase
Agreement and the Other Agreements and to carry out the transactions
contemplated thereby and to issue and deliver the Shares. All corporate
proceedings required by law or by the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and
the Other Agreements to be taken by the Board of Directors and the stockholders
of the Company on or prior to the Closing Date in connection with the execution
and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and the Other Agreements, the adoption of
the Articles of Incorporation as proposed to be amended in the Purchase
Agreement and the offer, issuance and sale of the Shares, have been duly and
validly taken.
(d) The Separation Agreement by and among the Company and certain
stockholders dated July __, 2002, has been duly and validly authorized,
executed, delivered and consummated by the Company and, to our knowledge, the
other parties thereto; and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations
of the Company and, to our knowledge, the other parties thereto, enforceable
against the Company and, to our knowledge, each of the other parties thereto in
accordance with its terms. All shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock
have been converted into common stock.
(e) The authorized capital stock of the Company currently consists
of 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, [ ] of
which are issued and outstanding, and 12,015 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, $.01 par value per share, all of which are issued and outstanding
(excluding paid-in-kind dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock). The Shares
to be purchased at the Closing have been duly authorized and, when purchased in
the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable. The stock certificates evidencing the Shares comply as
to form with Nevada law. The respective rights, privileges, restrictions and
preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Stock are as stated
in the Company's Amended Articles, as filed with the Secretary of State of the
State of Nevada. There are no statutory preemptive rights, and other than as set
forth in the capitalization table in Section 3.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, no
options, warrants, contractual preemptive rights, conversion privileges or other
rights (or agreements for any such rights) outstanding to purchase or otherwise
obtain from the Company any of the Company's
Page 3
securities. All of the shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock of
the Company outstanding immediately prior to the transactions contemplated in
the Purchase Agreement were duly authorized, validly issued and delivered, and
are fully paid and nonassessable. Except for such shares of Common Stock and
Series A Preferred Stock, the Company has no other authorized series or class of
capital stock. Except for the warrants listed in Section 3.4 of the Disclosure
Schedule and the Series A Preferred Stock, neither the offer nor the issuance or
sale of the Shares constitutes an event under any anti-dilution provisions of
any securities issued (or issuable pursuant to outstanding rights, warrants or

made "to the best knowledge" of a party or have been similarly qualified,
we have relied upon, and assumed the accuracy of, such representations and
warranties as if they were not so qualified;
(c) that all copies submitted to us are accurate, complete and
conform to the originals;
(d) the legal capacity of all natural persons who are signatories
to the documents, but we have no reason to believe that each natural person
executing the documents does not have the legal capacity to do so;

parties (other than the Company) and constitute the valid and binding
obligations of such parties, enforceable against such parties in accordance
with their respective terms; the respective terms and provisions of the
Purchase Agreement and Other Agreements do not, and the execution, delivery
and performance of its obligations thereunder by each of such parties
(other than the Company) will not, violate the articles or certificate of
incorporation or other charter document, document of organization or bylaws
of any such party or any law, order or decree of any court, administrative
agency or other governmental authority binding on any such party, or result
in a breach of or cause a default under any contract or indenture to which
it is a party or by which it is bound.
2. The qualification of any opinion or statement herein by the use of the

that during the course of our representation of the Company in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Other Agreements or
other matter to which such phrase matters, no information has come to the
attention of any attorney in this firm involved in such transactions which would
give such attorney current actual knowledge of the existence of facts, opinions
or conclusions so qualified.

4. Our opinions are subject to limitations imposed by any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally. Our opinions are also
subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). In addition, a court may refuse
to enforce a provision of the Purchase Agreement or Other Agreements if it deems
such provision to violate public policy, including any provision indemnifying a
party against liability for its own wrongful or negligent acts or for securities
law violations.
5. Whenever we have stated that we have assumed any matter, it is
intended to indicate that we have assumed such matter without making any
factual, legal or other inquiry or investigations, and without expressing any
opinion or conclusion of any kind concerning such matter. However, we do not
have actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances which would cause us to
questions the validity of any such assumption.
6. We are members of the bar of the State of Illinois. We render no
opinion herein as to matters involving laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State of Illinois, the federal laws of the United States and the Nevada General
Corporation Law.
7. This opinion is limited to present laws and to the facts and
agreements as they presently exist. We assume no obligation to revise or
supplement this opinion should the present

laws of any jurisdiction be changed through legislative action, judicial
decision or otherwise, or should the facts change.

2. Registration.
(a) Registration Statements. Promptly following the closing of the

Agreement (the "Closing Date") (but
-2-
no later than twenty (20) days thereafter), the Company shall prepare and file
with the SEC one Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of the
Registrable Securities in an amount equal to the number of shares of Common
Stock issued to the Purchasers on the Closing Date. Such Registration Statement
also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of
additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends
or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. The Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each person who now has
piggyback registration rights a waiver of those rights with respect to the
Registration Statement. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or
supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof)
shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to the Purchasers and their
counsel prior to its filing or other submission. If a Registration Statement
covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC within twenty (20)
days of the Closing Date, the Company will make pro rata payments to each
Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to
1.5% of the aggregate amount paid by such Purchaser on the Closing Date to the
Company for any 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the
date by which such Registration Statement should have been filed for which no
Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such
payment shall be made to each Purchaser in additional fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock not later than three Business Days
following the end of any 30-day period. For this purpose, each share of Common
Stock shall be deemed to have a value equal to the arithmetic mean of the
Closing Prices for the ten (10) trading days beginning twenty (20) trading days
prior to the issuance of such shares.
(b) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each
registration hereunder, including filing and printing fees, counsel and
accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable
Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees and the
Purchasers' reasonable expenses in connection with the registration, but
excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer
managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the
Registrable Securities being sold.
(C) Effectiveness.
(i) The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to
have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable. If a
Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not declared
effective by the SEC within sixty (60) days after the initial filing of the
Registration Statement (or ninety (90) days after the initial filing of the
Registration Statement if it is reviewed by the SEC), as such period may be
extended by Mi3 (as defined in the Purchase Agreement and on behalf of the
Purchasers) in its reasonable discretion for good cause, then the Company will
make pro rata payments to each Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by such
Purchaser in the shares of Common Stock for any 30-day period or pro rata for
any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement
should have been effective (the "Blackout Period"). Such payments shall be in
partial compensation to the Purchasers, and shall not constitute the Purchasers'
exclusive remedy for such events. The amounts payable as liquidated damages
pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid monthly within three (3) Business Days
of the last day of each month following the commencement of the
-3-
Blackout Period until the termination of the Blackout Period. Such payment shall
be made to each Purchaser in additional fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock shall be deemed to have a value equal
to the arithmetic mean of the Closing Prices for the ten (10) trading days
beginning twenty (20) trading days prior to the issuance of such shares.
(ii) For not more than twenty (20) consecutive days or for a total
of not more than forty-five (45) days in any twelve (12) month period, the
Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning
the Company, by suspending the use of any Prospectus included in any
registration contemplated by this Section containing such information, the
disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the
Company, in the best interests of the Company (an "Allowed Delay"); provided,
that the Company shall promptly (a) notify the Purchasers in writing of the
existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of a Purchaser,
shall the Company disclose to such Purchaser any of the facts or circumstances
regarding) material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, and
(b) advise the Purchasers in writing to cease all sales under the Registration
Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay.
(d) Underwritten Offering. If any offering pursuant to a Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof involves an underwritten offering, the
Company shall have the right to select an investment banker and manager to
administer the offering, which investment banker or manager shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchasers.
3. Company Obligations. The Company will use all commercially reasonable
efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance
with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously
as possible:

Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective for a period
that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement as amended from time to time,
have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k);

amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary

3(a) hereof and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act
with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered
thereby;

review each Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto no
fewer than seven (7) days prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any

as the case may be) one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment
thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or
supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to
the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or
the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement
(other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the
Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a
Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and
supplements thereto and such other documents as each Purchaser may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such Purchaser that are covered by the related Registration Statement;

Company shall enter into and perform its reasonable obligations under an
underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without
limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the
underwriter of such offering;
(f) if required by the underwriter, or if any Purchaser is described in
the Registration Statement as an underwriter, the Company shall furnish, on the

underwriter, if any, for sale in connection with the Registration Statement
(including any Purchaser deemed to be an underwriter), (i) (a) in the case of an
underwritten offering, an opinion, dated as of the closing date of the sale of
Registrable Securities to the underwriters, from independent legal counsel
representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form,
scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the underwriters and the Purchasers participating in such
underwritten offering or (b) in the case of an "at the market" offering, an
opinion, dated as of or promptly after the effective date of the Registration
Statement to the Purchasers, from independent legal counsel representing the
Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and
substance as is customarily given in a public offering, addressed to the
Purchasers, and (ii) a letter, dated as of the effective date of such
Registration Statement and confirmed as of the applicable dates described above,
from the Company's independent certified public accountants in form and
substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters
(including any Purchaser deemed to be an underwriter);
(g) use all commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of
any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is
issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;
(h) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use all
commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the
Purchasers and their counsel in connection with the registration or
qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions requested by the Purchasers
and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or
advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement;
-5-
(i) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities

securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(j) immediately notify the Purchasers, at any time when a Prospectus
relating to Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the 1933
Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of
which, the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request
of any such holder, promptly prepare and furnish to such holder a reasonable
number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be
necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the Purchasers of such Registrable
Securities, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing; and
(k) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all

Statement (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other
inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time
to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the
sole purpose of enabling the Purchasers and such representatives, advisors and

damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser, officer,
director, member, or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or
any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other
document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon

to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or
its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable

qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration in any
state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in
writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on a
Purchaser's behalf (the undertaking of any underwriter chosen by the Company
being attributed to the Company) and will reimburse such Purchaser, and each
such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Purchaser or
any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus.

and agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers,
employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of the 0000 Xxx) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement
of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in
the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment
or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or
omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Purchaser
to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or
Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability
of a Purchaser be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net
of all expense paid by such Purchaser and the amount of any damages such holder
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or
omission) received by such Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to
indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party
of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to
indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to
participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such
separate counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the
indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable
judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a
conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with
respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying
party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the
right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and
provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as
provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations
hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall
materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such
claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such
indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the
indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
that 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
in respect of such claim or litigation.
-9-
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in
the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or
insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein,
then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to
contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In
no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities
be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses
paid by such holder and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities
giving rise to such contribution obligation.

thereto and provides written notice of assignment to the Company promptly after

to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as if it were written so as
to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which
renders any provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
(i) Further Assurances. The parties hereto shall execute and deliver all
such further instruments and documents and take all such other actions as may
