This SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December
23, 2010 by and among Irvine Sensors Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Costa
Brava Partnership III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Costa Brava”) and the Xxxxxxx Fund LP,
a Delaware limited partnership (“Xxxxxxx”) (each of Costa Brava and Xxxxxxx is referred to herein
as a “Purchaser,” and such purchasers together with any Bridge Note Holders (as defined below) who
execute a joinder agreement and participate in the Bridge Note Conversion (as defined below) are
collectively referred to herein as the “Purchasers”). Certain terms used and not otherwise defined
in the text of this Agreement are defined in Section 9 hereof.
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and to sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers desire
to purchase from the Company, Notes and Milestone Notes of the Company (as hereinafter defined) and
shares of Common Stock of the Company, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement;
WHEREAS, Costa Brava and Xxxxxxx have committed to investing a minimum of $11,400,000 (the
“Commitment Amount”) regarding the transactions as described herein;
WHEREAS, the Company previously sold 10% Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes due May 31,
2011 (the “Bridge Notes”) to investors in an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 (the “Total Bridge Note
Amount”) as a “bridge” to the current transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, as
additional consideration for the Bridge Notes, the Company has agreed to issue shares of its Common
Stock to each investor with a value equal to 25% of the principal amount of the Bridge Notes
purchased, based on a valuation per share of the greater of (i) the fair market value of the Common
Stock as determined by the last closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock prior to the date
of issuance of the Bridge Notes, and (ii) $0.13 per share, but not greater than $0.14 per share
(the “Bridge Financing”);
WHEREAS, subject to certain requirements, at the discretion of an investor holding a Bridge
Note (the “Bridge Note Holder”), the principal value of the Bridge Note and any accrued interest
thereon may be converted after the Initial Closing (as defined below) into the securities issued
at the Initial Closing on the same terms and conditions as Costa Brava and Xxxxxxx (the “Bridge
Note Conversion”);
WHEREAS, as soon as practicable after the Initial Closing, the Company shall hold two or more
subsequent closings (the “Bridge Closings”) to effect the closing of the Bridge Note Conversion for
those Bridge Note Holders who elect to participate in the Bridge Note Conversion;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties
and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Authorization of Securities. The Company has authorized the issuance and sale of:
(i) 66,100,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); (ii) 12%
Convertible Subordinated Secured Notes due December 23, 2015, in an aggregate principal amount of up to
$9,820,800 (the “Notes”); and (iii) Milestone Notes (as defined below) in an aggregate principal
amount of $1,200,000. Each Note and Milestone Note shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto, shall be duly executed by the Company and shall be dated as of
the date of the applicable Closing (as defined in Section 3.1). The Notes and the Milestone Notes
will be subordinated in right of payment to the $2,500,000 Secured Promissory Note, dated as of
April 14, 2010, issued by the Company to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, and secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Company pursuant to the Security Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit
B hereto, which shall be duly executed by the Company and the Holder Representative (as defined
in the Notes). The shares of Common Stock into which the Notes and the Milestone Notes are
convertible are sometimes referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” and the Common Stock,
Notes, Milestone Notes and Conversion Shares are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the
“Securities”.
2. Sale and Purchase of the Securities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions
herein contained, the Company agrees to sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser agrees,
severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at each Closing (as defined in Section
3.1): (i) the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on
Schedule I, attached hereto, for an aggregate purchase price (the “Common Stock Purchase
Price”) set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I (which shall be equal to
$0.07 per share); (ii) the principal amount of the Note set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on
Schedule I at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Note (the “Note Purchase
Price”) set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I; and, as applicable, (iii)
the principal amount of the Milestone Note set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule
I at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Milestone Note (the “Milestone Note
Purchase Price”) set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I.
3. Closing; Payment of Purchase Price; Use of Proceeds; Bridge Note Conversion.
3.1. Closings.
(a) The initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) with respect to the transaction
contemplated in Section 2 hereof shall take place at the offices of Ropes & Xxxx LLP,
Prudential Tower, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xx., Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx on December 23, 2010, or at such
other time and place as the Company and Purchasers may agree, including remotely via the
exchange of documents and signatures (the “Initial Closing Date”). The term “Closing” shall
refer to the Initial Closing, the Bridge Closings and the Milestone Closing (as defined
below), to the extent there is a Milestone Closing. At each Closing, as applicable, the
Company shall issue to each Purchaser: (i) shares of Common Stock which such Purchaser is
purchasing at such Closing as set
2
forth on Schedule I, attached hereto, against delivery to the Company by such Purchaser of a wire transfer
in the amount of the Common Stock Purchase Price therefor as set forth on Schedule
I, such shares to be evidenced by certificates, registered in the name of such
Purchaser, to be delivered by the transfer agent within five business days after the
Closing; (ii) a Note representing the principal amount which such Purchaser is purchasing at
such Closing as set forth on Schedule I, in the name of such Purchaser, against
delivery to the Company by such Purchaser of a wire transfer in the amount of the Note
Purchase Price therefor as set forth on Schedule I or conversion of the Bridge Notes
in the case of the Bridge Closings; (iii) a Milestone Note representing the principal amount
which such Purchaser is purchasing at such Closing as set forth on Schedule I, in
the name of such Purchaser, against delivery to the Company by such Purchaser of a wire
transfer in the amount of the Milestone Note Purchase Price therefor as set forth on
Schedule I. Schedule I shall be updated to reflect the Bridge Note
Conversion; and (iv) a Note representing the principal amount issued to such Purchaser as a
result of the Bridge Note Conversion as set forth on Schedule I, in the name of such
Purchaser, against delivery to the Company by such Purchaser of the Bridge Conversion
Documents (as defined below).
(b) On the date of the Initial Closing but immediately following the Initial Closing,
each of Costa Brava and Xxxxxxx agrees to elect the Bridge Note Conversion and convert all
of the principal and accrued interest on its respective Bridge Notes and purchase additional
Notes and shares of Common Stock in the amounts set forth on Schedule I in
consideration for the cancellation of such Bridge Notes. The Notes so purchased shall have
the same terms as set forth in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto. Each
of Costa Brava and Xxxxxxx shall return their respective original Bridge Notes to the
Company and each agrees that upon receipt of the Notes and the shares of Common Stock so
purchased, its respective Bridge Notes shall be cancelled, and the Company shall have no
further obligations thereunder.
(c) As soon as practicable following the Initial Closing, but not later than 120 days
following the Initial Closing (or such later date as may be approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”)), the Company shall hold one or more
subsequent Bridge Closings to effect the Bridge Note Conversion for all of the other Bridge
Note Holders who elect the Bridge Note Conversion. The Company shall, from time to time,
update Schedule I to reflect the Bridge Note Conversion at the subsequent Bridge
Closings.
3.2. Milestone Closing. As soon as reasonably practicable upon completion of the
Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation set forth in Section 6.2(a) but not later than April
30, 2010, and subject to the fulfillment of the other closing conditions set forth in Section 6.2
(the “Milestone Conditions”), Costa Brava and Xxxxxxx shall purchase, and the Company shall sell, on the terms
and conditions contained in this Agreement, Milestone Notes, which shall have the same terms as set
forth in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Milestone Notes”). If the
Milestone Conditions are not satisfied or capable of being satisfied by April 30, 2010, then Costa
Brava and Xxxxxxx are released from their obligations under this Section 3.2. The purchase and sale of the
Milestone Notes are referred to in this Agreement as the “Milestone Closing” and the date of the
Milestone Closing is referred to as the “Milestone Closing Date.”
3.3. Use of Proceeds. The Company agrees to use the proceeds from the Initial
Closing as follows: $3,000,000 to pay the Company’s accounts payable as set forth on Schedule
II. The remainder of the proceeds from the Initial Closing and the proceeds from the Milestone
Closing shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
3
3.4. Bridge Note Conversion. Immediately prior to the Initial Closing, the Company
shall send a notice (the “Bridge Notice”) to each of the Bridge Note Holders, notifying them of
their right to elect to participate in the Bridge Note Conversion. The Bridge Note Holders who

following within the time period specified in the Bridge Notice: (i) an indication of interest
form; (ii) a joinder to this Agreement, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C;
and (iii) the original Bridge Note (collectively, the “Bridge Conversion Documents”). Any Bridge
Note Holder participating in the Bridge Note Conversion shall be deemed a “Purchaser” hereunder,
and shall make all the representations and warranties of a Purchaser set forth in Section 4 below
as of the date of such Purchaser’s Bridge Closing, and shall have all of the rights and obligations
hereunder as a Purchaser and under the Transaction Documents, but only if the Company has received
all of the executed Bridge Conversion Documents within the time period specified in the Bridge
Notice.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers; Register of Securities; Restrictions
on Transfer. Each Purchaser, severally as to itself and not jointly, represents and warrants
to the Company that the statements contained in this Section 4 are true and complete as of the date
of this Agreement and will be true and complete as of the date of each Closing:
4.1. Organization. Any Purchaser which is a corporation, limited liability company,
partnership or trust represents that such Purchaser is duly formed, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation, has not been organized,
reorganized or recapitalized specifically for the purpose of investing in the Company and has all
corporate, limited liability company, partnership or trust power (as the case may be) and authority
to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and instruments referred to herein
to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
4.2. Validity. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the
other Transaction Documents and instruments referred to herein, in each case to which such
Purchaser is a party, and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such
Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser, and the other
Transaction Documents and instruments referred to herein to which it is a party will be duly
executed and delivered by such Purchaser, and each such agreement and instrument constitutes or
will constitute a valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser enforceable against it in
accordance
with its terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.
4.3. Brokers. There is no broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder or
other Person which has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of such Purchaser who
might be entitled to any fee or commission for which the Company will be liable in connection with
the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
4
4.4. Investment Representations and Warranties. Such Purchaser understands and agrees
that the offering and sale of the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or
any applicable state securities laws and are being made in reliance upon federal and state
exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering which depend upon, among other things,
the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations
as expressed herein. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or
qualify the Securities for resale.
4.5. Acquisition for Own Account. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its
own account for investment and not with a view toward distribution in a manner which would violate
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.
4.6. Ability to Protect Its Own Interests and Bear Economic Risks. Such Purchaser, by
reason of the business and financial experience of its management, has the capacity to protect its
own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the
Securities. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities
and is able to sustain a loss of all of its investment in the Securities without economic hardship
if such a loss should occur.
4.7. Accredited Investor. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is
defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
4.8. Access to Information. Such Purchaser has been given access to all Company
documents, records, and other information, and has had adequate opportunity to ask questions of,
and receive answers from, the Company’s officers, employees, agents, accountants, and
representatives concerning the Company’s business, operations, financial condition, assets,
liabilities, and all other matters relevant to its investment in the Securities. The foregoing,
however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties made by the Company pursuant
to Section 5 of this Agreement or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon.
4.9. Restricted Securities.
(a) Such Purchaser understands that the Securities will be characterized as “restricted
securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the
Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the
Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.
(b) Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws
or an exemption from such registration is available. Such Purchaser understands that the
Company is under no obligation to register the Securities, except as provided in the
Transaction Documents.
(c) Such Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act
which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement.
5
4.10. No Public Market. Such Purchaser understands that no public market now exists
for any of the Securities issued by the Company, and that the Company has made no assurances that a
public market will ever exist for the Securities.
4.11. Residence. The office or offices of such Purchaser in which its investment
decision was made is located at the address or addresses of such Purchaser set forth on
Schedule I hereto.
4.12. Holdings. As of immediately prior to the Initial Closing, such Purchaser is
not an “interested stockholder” as that term is defined in Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law.
4.13. Tax Advisors. Such Purchaser has had the opportunity to review with such
Purchaser’s own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of this investment,
where applicable, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such Purchaser is relying
solely on the Purchaser’s own determination as to tax consequences or the advice of such tax
advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents and
understands that such Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for such Purchaser’s own
tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.
4.14. Communication of Offer. The offer to sell the Securities was directly
communicated to such Purchaser by the Company. At no time was such Purchaser presented with or
solicited by any leaflet, advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or any other
form of general advertising, or solicited or invited to attend a promotional meeting or any
seminar or meeting by any general solicitation or general advertising.
5. Representations and Warranties by the Company. Except as disclosed by the Company
in a written Disclosure Schedule provided by the Company to the Purchasers dated the date hereof
(the “Disclosure Schedule”), the Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that the
statements contained in this Section 5 are true and complete as of the date of this Agreement and
will be true and complete as of the date of the Initial Closing and the Milestone Closing, as the
case may be. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered
and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Section 5, and the disclosures in any
section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other sections and subsections in
this Section 5 only to the extent it is clear from a reasonable reading of the disclosure that such
disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections.
6
5.1. Capitalization.
(a) As of the date hereof, without giving effect to any of the Closings, the authorized
capital stock of the Company consists of 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01

Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-2 Preferred Stock”), 10,000 shares are

Incentive Plan and are currently outstanding, and 1,335,351 shares of Common Stock remain
