The Company will arrange with the transfer agent to ensure compliance with this delivery date.

1.4 Executive will be granted a cash payment of $460,000 upon a change of control event, whether occurring as a result of single or multiple events, such as sale of the Company through the sale of stock or equivalent interest representing a majority of the Company from the Effective Date, a sale or transfer of all, or a majority of the Company’s assets reported by the Company in a SEC filing or press release, equity or debt financing resulting in an effective change of control in one or more steps (calculated as if fully converted), or effective change of control by way of a sale or transfer of rights to a substantial portion of the future product output or intellectual property of the Company (e.g., providing another company an exclusivity for any major markets or providing rights to another company to produce products using the company’s OLED technology (collectively, a “Change of Control”). The foregoing Change of Control payment shall be due and payable only if, and when, such Change of Control of the Company results in the payment of the Company’s senior secured debt, when such debt is converted to equity, or there is a restructuring of the Company where the majority of the debt amounts due the lenders is agreed to be restructured by the lenders all or in part.

1.5 In addition, Executive agrees to reasonably pursue the general type Change of Control transactions listed in Section 1.4 and to devote reasonable best efforts, time and attention, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Executive and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, or if there is any change in direction of the Company away from actively pursuing such a long term or short term Change of Control as a primary effort. Any such effort by the Executive requires reasonable support to the Executive by the Company, attorneys, and bankers toward the pursuit of such a Change of Control. Moreover, Executive shall provide the Board of Directors of the Company with weekly reports describing Executive’s activities during the prior calendar week with respect to his consulting efforts on behalf of the Company in accordance with this Agreement.

1.6 Section 16 Filings

The Company will provide the highest priority and conscientious support in issuing all shares as specified in this Agreement, with all transfer and registration costs borne by the Company.

1.7 Withholdings for Taxes:

Taxes will be withheld and paid in a standard manner for ordinary income in 2007 for all cash payments made pursuant to this Agreement consistent with the Company’s past practices. Stock issuance withholdings will be based on a Xxxx Xxxxx report discount valuation of the market closing bid price as reported by the American Stock Exchange on the day of issuance to take into account block discount valuation reduction effects.

1.8 Voluntary Forfeiture of Executive’s Options

Upon the execution of this Agreement, Executive agrees to forfeit all of the options currently held by the Executive in the Company. (Approximately 230,000 options).

2.0 Use of Office and Equipment

The Executive will retain use of his current Company offices and communications pathways in both Hopewell Junction, NY and Bellevue, WA, including current office and communications support, equipment, telephone access, Company-supported land line or cell phones as has been done previously, and other Executive support provided at Company expense by the Company, until the earlier of (i) end of calendar year 2007, (ii) a change of control, or (iii) when the Executive begins full-time employment elsewhere. The Executive will furthermore retain use of all mobile and home based electronic and communications equipment, data, media, and supplies provided by the company for use primarily by the employee for up to 28 months from the Effective Date, provided that Company data is copied for the Company’s use.

3.0 Provisions for Moving Personal Effects

The Company will provide up to $7,500 for reasonable packing of all of Executive’s personal effects currently located in New York Company offices or storage space and shipping such items to up to two locations within the general area of the Company’s Bellevue Offices, to be specified by the Executive. All personal effects and files on the premises or in storage will remain confidential to the Executive. Travel associated with assisting in the clearing out this space will also be a permissible expense to the Company or its acquirer. To the extent the foregoing payment is deemed to constitute taxable income to the Executive by a tax professional, the Company shall also pay to the Executive the amount of any actual federal and State income taxes incurred by the Executive in connection with this payment.

4.0 Personal Benefits

Executive will be provided all insurance benefits as when previously employed through the earlier of March 31, 2007, or the Sale of the Company or substantially all of the Company’s assets, at Company expense free of any cost or tax to the Executive. All medical, insurance, and dental benefits will be covered during this period. Thereafter, Executive will be provided with right to participate in full COBRA (or equivalent) Company insurance plans.

5.0 No Arbitration; Time is of the Essence

5.1 This Agreement is hereby agreed to and is not subject to arbitration to negotiate the stated terms or validity. The Company agrees that payment of all cash due to the Executive and payment of stock in DWAC or DTC form will be made on the dates designated elsewhere in this Agreement, or within 2 days of the Effective Date, whichever is later.

Time is of the essence for all payments due within 10 business days of the Effective Date (namely, payments due under section 1.0) and no arbitration or legal issues shall in any way be permitted to delay these required payments. Financial compensation alone would not be sufficient compensation for breach of the Company’s duty to make these payments.

Additionally, a 12% initial penalty on the 1st late business day a payment is late plus an interest rate equal to the maximum fee and penalty limits of Washington State law plus any other losses incurred by the Executive due to the delayed payments due within 10 business days of the Effective Date. These fees and penalties would apply to the entire value of any delayed cash or stock payments due within 10 business days of the Effective Date, with the stock pricing value being the most recent AMEX closing price as of the date of this agreement or the date of each late assessment, whichever is higher based on the most recent quoted closing price of the Company’s common stock quoted by the American Stock Exchange or whatever exchange or quotation system the Company’s common stock may then be listed or quoted on.

All late fees and penalties, including all costs of collection and legal costs, arising from non-payment of the amounts due (either by direct payment or by way of credit against the Executive’s liabilities at the time of the termination of Executive’s employment, will be paid in cash immediately when due and any late fees or penalties will accrue the same fees and penalties as other late payments in this Agreement.

6.0 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation

6.1 The following modification replaces and supersedes Section 4.1 of Agreement A. The Executive hereby agrees that for a period of one year following the Effective Date, the Executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, have any direct interest in any person, firm, corporation or business competing with the Company in the Covered Area. For purposes of this Section 6.1 (i)“Competing Business” means any company engaging directly in the manufacturing of OLED on single crystal silicon microdisplays. For purposes of this Section 7.1 (ii) “Covered Area” means all geographical areas of the United States, and other foreign jurisdictions where the Company has offices or manufactures OLED microdisplays.

Neither this Agreement nor the delivery of any advice in connection with this engagement is intended to confer rights upon any persons not a party hereto (including security holders, employees or creditors of the Company) as against the Executive or the Company.
