Attn: Chief Executive Officer

Gentlemen:

The undersigned (the "Purchaser" or "Holder") hereby tenders this subscription for the purchase of $ ____________ (the "Purchase Amount") of 12% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due December 31, 2003 (the "Senior Notes") of Chyron Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Company"). Purchaser shall have the right at any time to convert the Senior Notes into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to $0.35. The Closing Date refers to the date in which the Company closes on an aggregate of United States dollars two million (US$2,000,000) of Senior Notes. The Company, at its option, can accept up to $3,000,000 in this offering. A form of Senior Note is incorporated as Appendix IV to the Term Sheet dated 11^th October, 2001 (as amended, the "Term Sheet"). A check or other form of payment payable to "Akin, Gump, Strauss, Xxxxx & Xxxx, L.L.P., as Escrow Agent" for the Purchase Amount is also delivered herewith pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Subscription, Subordination and Registration Rights Agreement (the "Agreement"). By execution hereof, the Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is relying upon the accuracy and completeness of the representations contained herein in complying with its obligations under applicable securities laws.

1. Representations of Purchaser. The Purchaser acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

1.1 That Purchaser alone or with the assistance of its own financial, tax, accounting or legal advisors ("Purchaser Representative"), has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Senior Notes, has the capacity to protect Purchaser's own interests in connection with an investment in the Senior Notes and has the net worth to undertake such risks. If Purchaser has employed a Purchaser Representative in connection with the evaluation of a purchase of the Senior Notes, Purchaser has set forth below the name, address, and occupation of the Purchaser Representative. The decision of Purchaser to purchase the Senior Notes hereunder has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other person and independently of any statements, disclosures or judgments as to the properties, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company which may have been made or given by any other person.

1.2 That Purchaser has received and had the opportunity to review the Term Sheet, and has been given full and complete access to information regarding the Company and has utilized such access to Purchaser's satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining such information regarding the Company, as Purchaser has reasonably requested and, particularly, Purchaser has been given reasonable opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Senior Notes and to obtain any additional information, to the extent reasonably available.

1.3 That Purchaser recognizes that an investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk, including, but not limited to, those risks described in the Term Sheet in the Section entitled "Risk Factors."

1.4 That Purchaser realizes that (A) the purchase of the Senior Notes is a long-term investment (B) the purchaser of the Senior Notes must bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because the Senior Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Senior Notes (the "Common Stock") have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or under the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and, therefore, the Senior Notes cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered under said laws or exemptions from the registration requirements of such laws are available and Purchaser can and will bear the economic risks of Purchaser's investment in the Senior Notes and acknowledges that Purchaser is able to hold the Senior Notes indefinitely and is able to sustain a complete loss if the Senior Notes become worthless, and (C) that the transferability of the Senior Notes is restricted and that a legend will be placed on any certificate representing the Senior Notes substantially to the following effect:

The Senior Notes and the underlying Common Stock represented by this Certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Senior Notes and the underlying Common Stock have been acquired for investment and may not be offered, sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of in the absence of a current and effective registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to such Senior Notes and the underlying Common Stock, or an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that registration is not required under the Securities Act.

1.5 There have been no general or public solicitations or advertisements or other broadly disseminated disclosures (including, without limitation, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or advertising) by or on behalf of the Company regarding an investment in the Senior Notes.

1.6 Purchaser has no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any shareholder of the Company to sell, transfer or pledge the Senior Notes (or any part thereof) which such Purchaser has purchased hereunder. The Purchaser has no present plans or intentions to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement.

1.7 Purchaser acknowledges that the Senior Notes being sold must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or a transfer is made pursuant to an exemption from such registration under applicable federal and state securities laws.

1.8 Purchaser is a bona fide resident of, is domiciled in and received the offer and made the decision to invest in the Senior Notes in the jurisdiction set forth on the signature page hereof, and the Senior Notes are being purchased by Purchaser in Purchaser's name solely for Purchaser's own beneficial interest and not as nominee for, or on behalf of, or for the beneficial interest of, or with the intention to transfer to, any other person, trust, organization or entity.

1.9 Purchaser, if a citizen of the United Kingdom, acknowledges that the Senior Notes will not be offered or sold to persons in the United Kingdom by means of any document other than to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their business or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Shares Regulations 1995, as amended by the Public Offers of Shares (Amendment) Regulations 1999.

(A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, to the extent such statement was not incorporated in such registration statement at the request of the indemnified party;

(B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or

(C) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;

and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.5(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

(b) By Holder To the extent permitted by law, the Holder, if selling Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities joint or several to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred, as incurred, by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this Section 3.5(b) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises.

(c) Each party indemnified under paragraph (a) or (b) above shall, promptly after receipt of notice of a claim or action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or action; provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party on account of the indemnity agreement contained in paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that the indemnifying party was actually prejudiced by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability that it may have to such indemnified party. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall have notified the indemnifying party thereof, unless based on the written advice of counsel to such indemnified party that a conflict of interest between such indemnified party and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in or to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 3.5 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. Any indemnifying party against whom indemnity may be sought under this Section 3.5 shall not be liable to indemnify an indemnified party if such indemnified party settles such claim or action without the consent of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party may not agree to any settlement of any such claim or action, other than solely for monetary damages for which the indemnifying party shall be responsible hereunder and in connection with which the indemnified party receives a complete and unconditional release without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any action hereunder as to which the indemnifying party has assumed the defense thereof, the indemnified party shall continue to be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, with counsel of its own choice, but the indemnifying party shall not be obligated hereunder to reimburse the indemnified party for the costs thereof.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.5 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any loss, liability, cost, claim or damage referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, cost, claim or damage in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative faults of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or a Holder and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, cost, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this paragraph (d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this paragraph (d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.5, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities of such Holder were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.2 Duties and Responsibilities of Escrow Agent.

(a) Acceptance. The Escrow Agent hereby accepts its appointment and agrees to act as escrow agent solely in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Limited Duties. Each of the Company and the Purchasers acknowledges and agrees that the Escrow Agent: (i) shall not be responsible for or bound by, and shall not be required to inquire into whether any party to this Agreement or other person is entitled to receive the Escrowed Funds or any portion thereof pursuant to this Agreement, but shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement; (ii) may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction, instrument, statement, request or document furnished to it hereunder and believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person, and shall have no responsibility for determining the accuracy thereof; and (iii) may consult counsel satisfactory to it, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to inquire into the propriety of the Escrowed Funds deposited hereunder nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to investigate any other matter or arrangement by and among any of the parties to this Agreement or any other person.

(c) Indemnity. The Company and the Purchasers, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and any of its employees or agents against and in respect of any and all claims, suits, actions, proceedings (formal and informal), investigations, judgments, deficiencies, damages, settlements, liabilities, and legal and other expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of attorneys chosen by Escrow Agent) as and when incurred arising out of or based upon any act, omission, alleged act, or alleged omission by the Escrow Agent, or its agents, or any other cause, in any case in connection with the acceptance of, or the performance or non-performance by Escrow Agent, or its agents, of any of the Escrow Agent's duties under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or of law or any error of judgment, or for any act or any omission or act of negligence, other than bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (including fraud), and each of the Company and the Purchasers waives any such claim against Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent's duty is only to the Company and to no other person whomsoever.

(d) Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse the Escrow Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with the performance of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

(e) Resignation. If the Escrow Agent shall be unable to act or shall resign as Escrow Agent hereunder, the successor escrow agent shall be a proper entity chosen by Escrow Agent in its sole discretion (the "Successor"). Escrow Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation (the "Resignation Notice") to the other parties hereto. Such resignation shall take effect when the Successor accepts in writing its appointment as Successor and receives from Escrow Agent, the Escrowed Funds. If no Successor has been appointed and has accepted the Escrowed Funds within five (5) days after the Resignation Notice is sent, the Company and the Purchasers may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Successor. Such court may thereupon appoint a Successor after Escrow Agent deposits the Escrowed Funds into such court and after such notice, if any, to the other parties hereto as the court may deem proper and prescribe.

(f) No Interest. The Escrow Agent does not have and will not have any interest in the Escrowed Funds, but is serving only as stakeholder, having only possession thereof.

(g) Exclusive Duties. This Agreement sets forth exclusively the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent thereto and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement.

(h) Counsel. The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting as counsel to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and agree that neither this Agreement nor the Escrow Agent's duties or actions as escrow agent hereunder shall prohibit the Escrow Agent from acting or continuing to act as legal counsel for the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or in connection with any dispute which may arise out of this Agreement.

5.3 Dispute Resolution. It is understood and agreed that if any dispute shall arise with respect to the delivery, ownership, right of possession or disposition of the Escrowed Funds, or any portion thereof, or if the Escrow Agent shall in good faith be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be authorized, without liability to anyone, to (i) refrain from taking any action other than to continue to hold the Escrowed Funds pending receipt of written instruction signed by the Company, or (ii) deposit the Escrowed Funds with any court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of New York or any Federal Court located in the State of New York, in which event the Escrow Agent shall give written notice thereof to each of the Parties and thereupon the Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged from all further obligations pursuant to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may, but shall be under no duty whatsoever to, institute or defend any legal proceedings which relate to the Escrowed Funds. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to retain counsel if it becomes involved in any disagreement, dispute or litigation on account of this Agreement or otherwise determines that it is necessary to consult counsel.

5.4 Judgments. The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey any order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the Company or the Purchasers or to any other person, firm, corporation or entity by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding that any such order, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered into without jurisdiction.

5.5 Termination of Escrow. The escrow shall terminate and the Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder upon the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of this Agreement or (b) the distribution of all of the Escrowed Funds pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.
