Exhibit 10.8
PHOTOWORKS, INC.
This Share Exchange Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of February 16, 2005, by and between PhotoWorks, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, “Holders” and each individually, a “Holder”).
RECITALS
A. The Holders hold the number of shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock set forth opposite their name on Exhibit A (the “Series A Shares”).
B. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Series A Shares will be canceled and, in exchange therefor, the Holders will be issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the rate of 1,383.1259 shares of Common Stock for each Series A Share, for an aggregate of 20,746,885 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”), subject to adjustment as set forth herein.
C. The parties intend that the exchange of the Holders’ Series A Shares for the Exchange Shares be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
For good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Exchange. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue to each Holder on the Exchange Date (as defined below), and each Holder will receive from the Company, that number of Exchange Shares as indicated on Exhibit A. Each Holder hereby acknowledges that each of the Series A Shares he/she/it holds shall be canceled in exchange for the Exchange Shares (the “Exchange”). The term “Exchange Shares” shall also include all securities received in replacement of or in connection with the Exchange Shares pursuant to stock dividends or splits, combinations, all securities received in replacement of the Exchange Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other properties to which a Holder is entitled by reason of such Holder’s ownership of the Exchange Shares.
If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be increased by stock dividend payable in Common Stock, stock split, subdivision, or other similar transaction occurring after the date of this Agreement into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, the number of Exchange Shares to be issued for each Series A Share shall proportionately be increased in proportion to the increase in the outstanding number of shares. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be decreased by reverse stock split,
SE 2098995 v1
combination, consolidation, or other similar transaction occurring after the date of this Agreement into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, the number of Exchange Shares to be issued for each Series A Share shall be proportionately decreased in proportion to the decrease in the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock.
If the Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or otherwise, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, the Exchange Shares to be issued for each Series A Share shall be proportionately adjusted such that upon exchange, the Holder shall receive, in lieu of the number of Exchange Shares that the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of Exchange that the Holder would have received had the Exchange contemplated by this Agreement taken place immediately before that change.
2. Closing. The Exchange shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the occurrence of the Second Closing (as such term is defined in that Convertible Note, Warrant and Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of even date herewith among the Company and certain parties listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”)) (such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Date”). In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Second Closing shall occur within 10 business days of the approval of the Recapitalization Proposal (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) by the Company’s shareholders. On the Exchange Date, the Company will deliver to each Holder a certificate representing such Holder’s Exchange Shares against surrender of certificates representing the cancelled Series A Shares. At the Second Closing, the Company agrees to deliver to the Holders an opinion dated as of the Second Closing and attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit 4.1(f).
3. Investment and Taxation Representations. In connection with the Exchange, each Holder represents to the Company the following:
(a) Holder is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Exchange Shares. Holder is acquiring the Exchange Shares for investment for his, her or its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
(b) Holder understands that the Exchange Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein.
(c) Holder understands that the Exchange Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Holder

SE 2098995 v1
must hold the Exchange Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Holder acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Exchange Shares for resale. Holder further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Exchange Shares, and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Holder’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
(d) Holder represents that Holder has consulted any personal tax consultants Holder deems advisable in connection with the Exchange and that Holder is not relying on the Company or any of its employees for any tax advice.
(e) Holder has not sold, transferred, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of his/her/its rights to the Series A Shares.

Other Agreements; Representations and Warranties of the Company. |
