MICROVISION, INC.
a Washington corporation
Certificate No.
THESE WARRANTS HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE WARRANTS ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" AS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
This is to certify that, for value received and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Microvision, Inc., a Washington corporation (the "Company"), promises and agrees to sell and issue to consultant, or registered assigns, up to a total of 100,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, at any time up to and until 5:00 p.m., Seattle, Washington time, on August 10, 2010, upon surrender, at the principal office of the Company referred to below, of this Warrant Certificate, a duly completed and executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto, and payment therefor in lawful money of the United States at the Exercise Price as set forth in Section 1.3 below.
This Warrant Certificate is issued subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Definitions of Certain Terms. Except as may be otherwise clearly required by the context, the following terms have the following meanings:
1.1 "Common Stock" means the common stock, no par value, of the Company.
1.2 "Company" means Microvision, Inc., a Washington corporation.
1.3 "Exercise Price" means $34.00 per share or such other price at which a Warrantholder may purchase one share of Common Stock or other Securities upon exercise of Warrants, as determined from time to time pursuant to the provisions hereof.
1.4 "Securities" means the securities issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or securities issued or issuable upon exercise, exchange, or conversion of such securities.
1.5 "Warrant Certificate" means a certificate evidencing Warrants.
1.6 "Warrantholder" means a record holder of Warrants or Securities.
1.7 "Warrants" means the warrants evidenced by this warrant certificate or any similar certificate issued in replacement of any such certificate.
2. Exercise of Warrants. All or any part of the Warrants evidenced by this Certificate may be exercised by surrendering this Warrant Certificate and the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, duly completed and executed by the Warrantholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact, at the office of the Company, 19910 North Creek Parkway, Bothell, WA 98011-3008, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in U.S. funds in full, in cash or certified or cashier's check, of the Exercise Price payable with respect to the Warrants being exercised. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant Certificate, the Company will, within five business days after said surrender and payment and completion of such Notice of Exercise by the Warrantholder, make arrangements with its stock transfer agent to send to the Warrantholder at the address specified in the Notice of Exercise a certificate or certificates evidencing the Securities
1
subscribed for. If fewer than all the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are exercised, the Company will, upon such exercise, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated the date hereof), in form and tenor similar to this Warrant Certificate, evidencing the Warrants not exercised. The Securities to be issued on exercise of the Warrants will be deemed to have been issued, and any person exercising the Warrants will be deemed to have become a holder of record of those Securities, as of the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above. The securities laws of the United States may require that a registration statement registering the Securities to be issued on exercise of the Warrants be effective, or that an exemption from registration be available, before the Company may issue the Securities to the Warrantholder. The Company will use its best efforts to take such actions under the Act and the laws of various states and other jurisdictions as may be required to cause the issuance of Securities upon exercise of Warrants to comply with applicable securities laws. However, the Company will not be required to honor the exercise of Warrants if, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, upon advice of counsel, the issuance of Securities upon such exercise would be unlawful. In such event, the Company may elect to redeem Warrants submitted for exercise for a price equal to the difference between (i) the closing price of the Securities on the date of submission of the Notice of Exercise of Warrants, as reported by the principal exchange or market upon or through which the Securities are then principally traded or quoted (the "Exchange") and (ii) the Exercise Price of the Securities subscribed for in the Notice of Exercise of Warrants submitted to the Company. In the event of such redemption, the Company will pay to the Warrantholder the above-described redemption price within ten business days after the Warrantholder's submission of the Notice of Exercise of Warrants.
3. Adjustments in Certain Events. The number, class and price of Securities for which the Warrants may be exercised are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
3.1 If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are divided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in stock is paid on the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are then exercisable will be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price will be proportionately reduced. Conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are then exercisable will be proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price will be proportionately increased. The increases and reductions provided for in this Section 3.1 will be made with the intent and, as nearly as practicable, the effect that neither the percentage of the total equity of the Company obtainable on exercise of the Warrants nor the price payable for such percentage upon such exercise will be affected by any event described in this Section 3.1.
3.2 In case of any change in the Common Stock through merger, consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then, as a condition of the change in the capital structure of the Company, lawful and adequate provision will be made so that the holder of this Warrant Certificate will have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which he would have been entitled if, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, or other change in the capital structure, the Warrantholder had held the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon the exercise of the Warrants. In such event, the Exercise Price will be proportionately adjusted. In any such case, appropriate adjustment will be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Warrantholder, to the end that the provisions set forth herein will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The Company will not permit any change in its
2
capital structure to occur unless the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities to be received by the holder of this Warrant Certificate, if not the Company, agrees to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.
3.3 When any adjustment is required to be made in the number of shares of Common Stock, other securities or the property purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will promptly determine the new number of such shares or other securities or property purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants and (i) prepare and retain on file a statement describing in reasonable detail the method used in arriving at the new number of such shares or other securities or property purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants and (ii) cause a copy of such statement to be mailed to the Warrantholder within 30 days after the date when the event giving rise to the adjustment occurred.
3.4 No fractional shares of Common Stock or other Securities will be issued in connection with the adjustment of any Warrants, but the Company will pay, in lieu of fractional shares, a cash payment therefor on the basis of the closing price of the Securities as reported by the Exchange on the day immediately prior to the effective date of the adjustment.
4. Reservation of Securities. The Company agrees that the number of shares of Common Stock and other Securities sufficient to provide for the exercise of the Warrants upon the basis set forth above will at all times during the term of the Warrants be reserved for exercise.
5. Validity of Securities; Transfer Taxes. All Securities delivered upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with their terms will be duly and validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and will be free and clear of any lien, pledge, security interest, claim, charges, encumbrance or other restriction or limitation (except with respect to restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws) imposed on them by the Company. The Company will pay all documentary and transfer taxes, if any, in respect of the original issuance thereof upon exercise of the Warrants.
6. Legending of Securities. All certificates representing Securities delivered upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be impressed with a legend indicating that the Securities are not registered under the Act and reciting that the transfer thereof is restricted, such legend to be in a form acceptable to counsel for the Company.
7. Transfer Prohibited. The Warrants and all rights hereunder may not be transferred or assigned without the prior written approval of the Company; provided that, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to a proposed transfer or assignment of Warrants exercisable for not less than 10,000 Securities that are not subject to a Lock-Up, as such term is defined in that certain Consulting Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2000, between and the Company; and provided further that the Warrants may be transferred or assigned to the immediate family members (including grandchildren, nieces, and nephews) of the Warrantholder or to trusts or other entities for the sole benefit thereof without the Company's prior written approval, provided that the Warrantholder complies with applicable securities laws in effecting such a disposition. Except as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, any transfer effected without the prior written approval of the Company shall be void.
8. No Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Warrantholder will not, by virtue of ownership of Warrants, be entitled to any rights as a shareholder of the Company.
9. Ownership. The Company, and its Transfer Agent, and any agent of the Company or its Transfer Agent may treat the bearer of this Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner of the Warrants evidenced hereby for the purpose of exercising the Warrants and for all other purposes whatsoever, and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon, or any notice of previous loss or theft or other interest therein.

10. Replacement of Warrant Certificate. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant Certificate, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and amount.
