WHEREAS, in connection with the purchase of the Notes, this Agreement also provides for the grant to the Purchasers of warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Purchase and Sale of Note

Section 1.1 Purchase of Notes.  At the Closing (as hereinafter defined) and subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the Company will issue and sell the Notes to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers will purchase the Notes from the Company, for the purchase price equal to the original principal amount of the Notes (the “Purchase Price”).  The amount of Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser is set forth on Schedule I hereto, and the Purchase Price for the Notes shall be paid (i) in the form of cash, (ii) in exchange for the Purchaser’s July 2005 Notes and/or June 2006 Notes, and/or (iii) in satisfaction of Accrued Registration Fees.  The form of consideration to be paid by each Purchaser is set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I hereto.  For purposes hereof, the term “Conversion Shares” means any shares of Common Stock into which the Notes are convertible according to their terms.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any holder of July 2005 or July 2007 Notes may elect to receive all or a portion of the Accrued Registration Fees that have accrued on such notes in cash in lieu of exchanging such Accrued Registration Fees for Notes pursuant to this Section 1.1, and such cash payment will be made at the Closing.

Section 1.2 The Closing.  The purchase and sale of the Notes shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) on the date hereof or such other date as the Purchasers and the Company may agree upon (the “Closing Date”).  The purchase and sale of Notes may also occur, at the Company’s option, on more than one date to accommodate different Purchasers.  At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers the Notes purchased hereunder, registered in the name of the Purchasers or their respective nominees.  On the Closing Date the Purchaser shall deliver by wire transfer the cash Purchase Price hereunder to an account designated in writing by the Company and shall deliver the July 2005 and June 2006 Notes being exchanged hereunder to the Company at its offices.  In addition, each party shall deliver all documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered by such party pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to the Closing.  The parties acknowledge that, as a condition to the Company’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) all holders of the July 2005 Notes, July 2007 Notes, and June 2006 Notes must enter into this Agreement, (ii) all holders of the July 2005 Notes must exchange such notes for the Notes to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or must elect to have such July 2005 Notes redeemed pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof, (iii) all holders of the July 2007 Notes must either choose to retain their July 2007 Notes or must elect to have such July 2007 Notes redeemed pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof, and (iv) all holders of the June 2006 Notes must exchange such notes for the Notes to be issued pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 1.3 Warrants.  At the Closing, the Company will execute and deliver to each Purchaser a warrant, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be equal to fifty percent of the principal amount of such Purchaser’s Note divided by the initial Exercise Price of the warrant (the “Warrants”).  The shares of Common Stock that are issuable pursuant to the Warrants are hereafter referred to as the “Warrant Shares.”

Section 1.4 Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.  At the Closing, the Company and the Purchasers will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit C hereto (the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”).  The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement shall amend and restate each of the March 2004 Registration Rights Agreement, Winvest Registration Rights Agreement, and June 2005 Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 1.5 Amended and Restated Security Agreement.  At the Closing, the Company and the Purchasers will enter into an Amended and Restated Security Agreement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit D hereto (the “Amended and Restated Security Agreement”).  The Amended and Restated Security Agreement will (i) amend and restate the Security Agreements, dated March 1, 2004 and as amended on July 29, 2004, among the Company and the holders of the July 2005 Notes and July 2006 Notes and (ii) add the other Purchasers as secured parties thereunder.  In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall, within sixty (60) days of the date of this Agreement, cause Liquidmetal Korea Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Liquidmetal Korea”), to grant to the Purchasers as additional security for the Notes and the July 2007 Notes a second lien upon and security interest in Liquidmetal Korea’s manufacturing plant in Korea (the “Factory Lien”), and Liquidmetal Korea shall obtain any necessary consent and approval of the Bank of Korea to the granting of the Factory Lien. The Factory Lienshall be in addition to and subordinate to the prior liens held or to be held by Kookmin Bank (or any financial institution through which the Company’s or Liquidmetal Korea’s indebtedness with Kookmin Bank is refinanced).

Section 1.6 Redemption Option.  Any holder of July 2005 Notes or July 2007 Notes (the “July Notes”) may, in lieu of exchanging the July 2005 Notes for Notes issued pursuant to this Agreement or in lieu of retaining the July 2007 Notes, elect to have the July Notes redeemed in whole or in part pursuant to this Agreement.  Any such redemption shall be reflected on Schedule I hereto.  The redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) for notes being redeemed pursuant hereto shall be equal to the amount of principal being redeemed.  The portion of each such note that is redeemed pursuant hereto is referred to as the “Redeemed Portion.”  On the Closing Date, the Company will pay to each Purchaser the Redemption Price with respect to the Redeemed Portion(s) of the July Notes held by such Purchaser and as to which this redemption option has been elected, and the Purchaser will return the originally signed July 2005 Note and/or July 2007 Note, as applicable, to the Company.  If less than the entire principal amount of the July 2005 Note and/or July 2007 is being redeemed, then the Company will, within a reasonable period of time, deliver a replacement note to the Purchaser to evidence the remaining principal balance thereof (or, in the case of a July 2005 Note, the Company will issue a Note to the Holder to evidence the unredeemed amount).  Each redeeming Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, upon receipt of the Redemption Price, the Redeemed Portion will have been paid in full and will no longer be outstanding, and such Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser will have no further rights or entitlements under such note(s) with respect to the Redeemed Portion.   Except for the payment of the Redemption Price and the satisfaction of Accrued Registration Fees and accrued interest in accordance with this Agreement, such Purchaser hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives, releases and forever discharges the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries, parent companies, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, and Affiliates (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, damages, lawsuits, obligations, promises, and causes of action of any kind whatsoever, both known and unknown, at law or in equity, that the Purchaser may have had or has against the Released Parties at any time from the beginning of time up to and including the date of this Agreement relating to or arising from the Redeemed Portion of the July Notes.

Section 1.7 Payment of Accrued Interest at Closing.  All accrued and unpaid interest on the July 2005 Notes, June 2006 Notes, and July 2007 Notes through the date of Closing shall be paid in cash by the Company at the Closing.  Each Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that the amount set forth next to such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I under the column “Accrued Interest” represents the entire amount of accrued and unpaid interest owing through the date of Closing on such Purchaser’s July 2005 Notes, June 2006 Notes, and July 2007 Notes and that, upon the payment of such interest by the Company at the Closing, the issuance and delivery of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement (or, if applicable, the redemption of July Notes pursuant to Section 1.6 above), and the satisfaction of Accrued Registration Fees in accordance with this Agreement, (i) the July 2005 Notes and June 2006 Notes shall be deemed to be paid in full, and (ii) such Purchaser hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives, releases and forever discharges the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, damages, lawsuits, obligations, promises, and causes of action of any kind whatsoever, both known and unknown, at law or in equity, that the Purchaser may have had or has against the Released Parties at any time from the beginning of time up to and including the date of this Agreement relating to or arising from July 2005 Notes or June 2006 Notes.

(a) Organization and Qualification; Material Adverse Effect.  The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.  The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary other than those in which the failure so to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  “Material Adverse Effect” means any adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, and which is (either alone or together with all other adverse effects) material to the Company and its subsidiaries.

(b) Authorization; Enforcement.  (i)  The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants, the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the Amended and Restated Security Agreement, the provisions of Section 1.6 hereof, and any other agreements or documents delivered by the Company at the Closing (“Transaction Documents”) and to issue the Notes and Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the issuance of the Notes, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors (or any committee or subcommittee thereof) or stockholders is required, (iii) the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, (iv) the Transaction Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application, and (v) the Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares have been duly authorized and, upon issuance thereof and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Warrants and the Notes, as the case may be, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances.

(c) No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and issuance of the Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares will not (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) to the Company’s knowledge result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including United States federal

5

and state securities laws) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or affected, except in the case of clause (ii), such conflicts that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) SEC Documents.  Since December 31, 2004, the Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”).  To the Company’s knowledge, as of their respective dates and except as provided in Item 9A of the Form 10-K/A filed by the Company on May 10, 2005, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(e) No Contemplated Bankruptcy. On the date hereof, the Company does not contemplate and has no knowledge of any person contemplating the filing of any petition against the Company or any subsidiary under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other such law.  The Company does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including, among other things, contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Company).  The execution, delivery, observance, performance and fulfillment of Company’s obligations and duties under this Agreement will not render the Company insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they become due.  The Company has (a) not entered into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers.  Each Purchaser (severally and not jointly) hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company as of the date hereof and the Closing Date:

(a) Accredited Investor Status; Sophisticated Purchaser.  The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).  The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares.  The Purchaser is not registered as a broker or dealer under Section 15(a) of the 1934 Act, affiliated with any broker or dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the 1934 Act, or a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

(b) Information.  The Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company which have been requested and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Notes, the

6

Conversion Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, which have been requested by the Purchaser.  The Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company.  The Purchaser acknowledges that (i) Purchaser has been provided with and has reviewed copies of the following filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission: Form 10-Q filed on May 16, 2005, Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2005 (as amended on May 5, 2005), Form 8-K filed on May 10, 2005, Form 8-K filed on April 15, 2005, and Form 8-K filed on June 16, 2005; and (ii) Purchaser’s purchase of the Notes, Warrants, and (if applicable) the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares involves a high degree of risk and that Purchaser may never recover Purchaser’s investment in these securities.

(c) Investment Representation.  The Purchaser is purchasing the Note and the Warrant for the Purchaser’s own account and not with a view to distribution in violation of any securities laws.  The Purchaser has been advised and understands that neither the Note, the Warrant, the Conversion Shares nor the Warrant Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act or under the “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the 1933 Act or if an exemption from registration is available, except under circumstances where neither such registration nor such an exemption is required by law.  The Purchaser has been advised and understands that the Company, in issuing the Notes and the Warrants, is relying upon, among other things, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Section 2.2 in concluding that such issuance is a “private offering” and is exempt from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act.

(d) Rule 144.  The Purchaser understands that there is no public trading market for the Note or Warrant, that none is expected to develop, and that the Note and Warrant must be held indefinitely unless and until such Note and the Warrant, or if applicable, the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares, are registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from registration is available.  The Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

Section 3.4 Further Acknowledgment by Holders of July 2007 Notes.  Each Purchaser that will, immediately after the Closing, continue to hold any July 2007 Notes hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) it shall not be a violation of Section 2 of the July 2007 Notes or Section 3.12 of the July 2004 Note Exchange Agreement or Winvest Note Exchange Agreement for the Company to issue the Notes pursuant to this Agreement and pay interest thereon in accordance with the terms of the Notes, (ii)  the exceptions set forth in clause (v) of Section 3.2 above and the two sentences following such clause shall apply to the July 2007 Notes, and the holders of the July 2007 Notes shall be subject to the exception and covenants set forth therein, and (iii) except for the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the July 2007 Notes through the date of Closing, each such Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives and releases the Company from any breach or default under the July 2007 Notes occurring on or prior to the date of Closing.  Each such Purchaser agrees that it will not transfer or assign any July 2007 Note to any third party unless the transferee of such note unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledges and agrees in writing to the terms of this Section 3.4 and such written acknowledgment and agreement is delivered to the Company.

Section 3.5 Company Acknowledgement.  The Company hereby acknowledges that each Purchaser is purchasing the Notes and Warrants separately and independently from each other Purchaser and that the failure of any Purchaser to enforce a right under this Agreement or under such Purchaser’s
