Exhibit 10.2
THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 17, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), among EMERALD INTERMEDIATE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Lender”), SAMSUNG DISPLAY CO., LTD., a Korean corporation (“Parent”), and EMAGIN CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Lender shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Lender. The parties agree as follows:
1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.
2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Lender the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts payable hereunder as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
2.2 Loan.
(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written request from Xxxxxxxx, Lender shall lend to Borrower the following (the “Loan”): (i) on the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as the conditions to such borrowing under Section 4.1 of this Agreement are satisfied), an amount not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “First Advance”), (ii) from the first Business Day after the two-month anniversary of the date of the Effective Date until the six-month anniversary of the date of the First Advance and thereafter, an amount not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Second Advance”), and (iii) on any Business Day after the earlier of (x) five-month anniversary of the date of the Second Advance and (y) the seventh-month anniversary of the Effective Date, an amount not to exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) (or such greater amount reasonably agreed by Xxxxxx and Borrower after good faith discussions, taking into consideration the actual cash needs of Borrower for the Proceeds Purpose and Collateral coverage, among other things, but which shall not in any event exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00)) (the “Third Advance”). The cash proceeds of the Loan shall be used by Borrower solely for the Proceeds Purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, the advance amounts above are cumulative, such that the total amount of the advances could, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, equal up to $15,000,000.
(b) Repayment. Borrower shall pay to Lender in cash the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan plus all accrued and unpaid interest and all other outstanding Obligations on the Maturity Date. After repayment, the Loan may not be reborrowed.
(c) Prepayment.
(i) Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than an aggregate principal amount equal to $500,000, provided Borrower (a) delivers written notice to Lender of its election to prepay such amount of the Loan at least three (3) Business Days prior to such prepayment, and (b) pays in cash, on the date of such prepayment (1) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan set forth in such written notice, plus (2) the accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan with respect to such principal amount set forth in such written notice. Each such notice of prepayment will specify the relevant Borrowing to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. Any such notice may be revocable or conditioned upon the consummation of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked or postponed by the Borrower (by notice to the Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. on the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.
2.3 Payment of Interest on the Loan.
(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.3(d), the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and all interest not paid in cash when required to be paid in cash hereunder shall accrue interest at the Applicable Rate to be set on the first day of each semi-annual interest period. Interest shall be paid semi-annually on May 17 and November 17, with the first interest payment date being November 17, 2023. Borrower shall have the option to either pay all accrued and unpaid interest either in cash or in kind by adding to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan on each semi-annual interest payment date an amount equal to the amount of interest accrued and unpaid as of such date.
(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay interest on overdue amounts hereunder at a rate per annum equal to two percentage points (2.0%) plus the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.
(c) Interest Computation. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the Effective Date shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded.
(d) Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of New York shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Xxxxxxxx has actually paid to Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of the Obligations consisting of the outstanding principal; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lender’s accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Obligations; and third, after all Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.
2.4 Fees and Expenses. Borrower shall pay to Lender all Lender Expenses incurred after the Termination Date, within thirty (30) days after demand by Xxxxxx.
2.5 Payments; Application of Payments.
(a) Subject to Section 2.3(a), all payments to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.
(b) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Xxxxxx has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Lender shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Lender or otherwise received by Lender under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

9 XXXXXX’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.3(b) or (c) occurs, all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Xxxxxx);
(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Xxxxxxxx’s benefit under this Agreement;
(c) verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any accounts receivable and general intangibles (other than any intellectual property), settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Xxxxxx considers advisable, and notify any Person owing Borrower money of Xxxxxx’s security interest in such funds;
(d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Lender requests and make it available as Lender designates. Lender may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Lender a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies;
(e) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Xxxxxxxx’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s benefit;
(f) exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).
9.2 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.3 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Lender may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Lender are Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Lender will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with prior written notice of Lender obtaining such insurance. No payments by Xxxxxx are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Xxxxxx’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.3 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the right to apply in any order any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations. Lender shall pay any surplus to Borrower or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency. If Lender, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lender shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Lender of cash therefor.
9.4 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with reasonable banking and business practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Lender, Lender shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
-9-
9.5 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given.

Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Xxxxxxxx’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

12.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party.
