MICROVISION, INC.

Common Stock Purchase Warrant

(Void after October 15, 2004)

Microvision, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that Ladenburg Xxxxxxxx & Co. Inc., or its registered assigns (the “Registered Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time on or after the date of issuance and on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on October 15, 2004, 11,938 shares of Common Stock, of the Company, at a purchase price of $14.62 per share. The shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the purchase price per share, each as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Shares” and the “Purchase Price,” respectively.

1. Exercise.

(a) This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit I duly executed by the Registered Holder or by the Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in lawful money of the United States, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.

(b) If the resale of the Warrant Shares has not been registered previously in accordance with Section 4(d) or 4(e) hereof, as of and from the first anniversary of the Date of Issuance hereof, the Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to pay some or all of the Purchase Price payable upon an exercise of this Warrant by canceling all or a portion of this Warrant. If the Registered Holder wishes to exercise this Warrant by this method, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable (which shall in no event exceed the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant as set forth above), subject to adjustment under Section 2 of this Warrant) shall be determined as follows:

X=Y[(A-B)/A]; where

X= the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Y= the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.

A= the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock.

B= the Purchase Price of one share of Common Stock.

The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined as follows:

(i) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or another nationally recognized trading system (including, without limitation, the OTC Bulletin Board and, if the average daily trading volume for the preceding 10 days has been at least 100,000 shares, the Pink Sheets) as of the Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the high and low reported sale prices per share of Common Stock thereon on the trading day immediately preceding the Exercise Date (provided that if no such price is reported on such day, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined pursuant to clause (ii)).

(ii) If the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or another nationally recognized trading system as of the Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the amount most recently determined by the Board of Directors to represent the fair market value per share of the Common Stock (including without limitation a determination for purposes of granting Common Stock options or issuing Common Stock under an employee benefit plan of the Company); and, upon request of the Registered Holder, the Board of Directors (or a representative thereof) shall promptly notify the Registered Holder of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of Directors has not made such a determination within the three-month period prior to the Exercise Date, then (A) the Board of Directors shall make a determination of the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock within 15

days of a request by the Registered Holder that it do so, and (B) the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this subsection 1(b) shall be delayed until such determination is made.

(c) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 1(a) above accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price (the “Exercise Date”). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.

(d) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part in accordance with , and in any event within 5 business days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which the Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Registered Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 3 hereof; and

(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of remaining Warrant Shares.

2. Adjustments.

(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date on which this Warrant was first issued (the “Original Issue Date”) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record

date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Purchase Price then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Purchase Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

(c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price pursuant to subsections 2(a) or 2(b), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

(d) Adjustment for Mergers or Reorganizations, etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by subsections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(d)), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger, the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger, the Registered Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if (x) there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for anything other than solely equity securities, and (y) the common stock of the acquiring or surviving company is publicly traded, then, as part of any such reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger, (i) the Registered Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise hereof such number of shares of common stock of the acquiring or surviving company as is determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to this Warrant by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the effective date of such transaction, as determined pursuant to subsection 1(b), and the denominator of which is the fair market

value per share of common stock of the acquiring or surviving company as of the effective date of such transaction, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (using the principles set forth in subsection 1(b) to the extent applicable), and (ii) the exercise price per share of common stock of the acquiring or surviving company shall be the Purchase Price divided by the fraction referred to in clause (B) above. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 2 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Purchase Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(e) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be exercisable and the Purchase Price) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Registered Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Purchase Price then in effect and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.

3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall make a payment therefor in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock, as determined pursuant to subsection 1(b) above.

4. Requirements for Transfer.

(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall not be sold or transferred unless either (i) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or (ii) the Company first shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no registration or opinion of counsel shall be required for (i) a transfer by a Registered Holder which is a corporation to a wholly owned subsidiary of such corporation, a transfer by a Registered Holder which is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner, a transfer by a Registered Holder which is a limited liability company to a member of such limited liability company or a

retired member or to the estate of any such member or retired member, or a transfer by a Registered Holder which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (the “NASD”) to an officer or employee of the Registered Holder as permitted by NASD rules, provided that the transferee in each case agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 4, or (ii) a transfer made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Act.

(c) Each certificate representing Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless and until such securities are registered under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company is obtained to the effect that such registration is not required.”

(d) The Registered Holder shall have “piggyback” registration rights to have the Warrant Shares (but not the Warrants) registered for resale on any registration statement which the Company files for any purpose (other than registrations relating solely to Company stock or option plans or with respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under Rule 145 under the Act) on a form available for such registration, after the Original Issue Date. Such registration shall be subject to customary terms and conditions, including obligations by the Registered Holder to provide information to the Company and by the Company to indemnify the Registered Holder against Securities Act liabilities.

(e) The Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Warrant Shares as soon as practicable six months after the Original Issue Date, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC prior to the first anniversary of the Original Issue Date; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration (i) if Form S-3 is not available for an offering by the Registered Holder, (ii) if the Registered Holder fails to provide such information about the Registered Holder and its plan of distribution as may be required to be disclosed in the registration statement, or (iii) if the Company furnishes to the Registered Holder a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with such registration, including (without limitation) all registration, filing, qualification, printer’s and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the sale of the Warrant Shares.

5. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or

performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against impairment.

6. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event:

(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right; or

of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity and its Common Stock is not converted into or exchanged for any other securities or property), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(b) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Registered Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

7. Reservation of Stock. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of Warrant Shares as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

8. Exchange of Warrants. Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal office of the Company, the Company will, subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, issue and deliver to or upon the order of such Holder, at the Company’s expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Registered Holder or as the Registered Holder (upon payment by the Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash and/or property) then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

9. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

10. Transfers, etc.
