EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
This Exchange Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of the
1st day of June, 1993, by and between IMSL, Inc., a Texas corporation doing
business as Visual Numerics, Inc. (the "Company"), and the persons on the
attached Schedule of Shareholders (the "Shareholders").
WHEREAS, each of the Shareholders currently holds shares of the Company's
Class A Common Stock (the "Common Shares") in the amounts as set forth opposite
each such Shareholder's name on the attached Schedule of Shareholders; and
WHEREAS, the Shareholders and the Company desire to exchange the Common
Shares for shares of the Company's Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") in
the amount and of the series as set forth opposite each such Shareholder's name
on the attached Schedule of Shareholders.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Exchange of Stock.
-----------------
1.1 Transfer of Preferred Shares and Common Shares. Subject to the
----------------------------------------------
terms and conditions hereof, the Company will issue to the Shareholders the
Preferred Shares, and the Shareholders will transfer to the Company all right,
title and interest in and to the Common Shares. The rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions of the Preferred Shares are as set forth in the
Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Restated Articles").
---------
1.2 Closing. The closing of the exchange of the Preferred Shares for
-------
the Common Shares shall occur at the offices of Venture Law Group, at 2:00 p.m.
on or before May 15, 1993, or at such other time and place as the parties shall
agree (the "Closing Date"). At the Closing, the Company will deliver to each of
the Shareholders a certificate or certificates, issued in the Shareholder's
name, representing the Preferred Shares to be issued at the Closing, against
transfer to the Company of the Common Shares. Each Shareholder will deliver to
the Company a certificate or certificates representing the Common Shares
accompanied by a letter of transmittal duly completed and executed by the
Shareholder in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B (the "Letter of
---------
Transmittal"), unqualifiedly surrendering all such Common Shares to the Company
in a form sufficient to surrender all right, title and interest in the Common
Shares to the
Company free and clear of any lien, restriction, claim, or encumbrance. Each
Shareholder shall also deliver to the Company all such further documents,
certificates and instruments, and shall take all such further actions, as the
Company may reasonably request in order for the Shareholder to surrender all
right, title and interest in the Common Shares.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth
---------------------------------------------
in the Schedule of Exceptions to Representations and Warranties attached hereto
as Exhibit C, which statements shall be deemed to be representations and
---------
warranties as if made hereunder, the Company represents and warrants to the
Shareholders as follows:
2.1 Organization and Standing; Restated Articles. The Company is a
--------------------------------------------
corporation duly organized and existing under, and by virtue of, the laws of the
State of Texas and is in good standing under such laws. The Company has
requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets, and to
carry on its business as currently conducted. The Company is qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation in Virginia. The Company is not qualified to
do business as a foreign corporation in any other jurisdiction and the failure
to be so qualified does not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business. The Company has made available to the Shareholders a copy of its
Restated Articles which is attached as Exhibit A. Such copy is true, correct
---------
and complete and contains all amendments through the Closing Date.
2.2 Corporate Power. The Company has all requisite legal and
---------------
corporate power to execute and deliver this Agreement, to issue the Preferred
Shares hereunder and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of
this Agreement.
2.3 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company
--------------
consists of 17,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, of which (i) 3,193,500 shares of Preferred Stock have been
designated Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) 163,390 shares of Preferred Stock have
been designated Series B Preferred Stock, and (iii) 1,583,555 shares of
Preferred Stock have been designated Series C Preferred Stock. 6,638,485 shares
of Class A Common Stock are issued and outstanding. No shares of Preferred Stock
are issued and outstanding. There are options for the purchase of 1,493,750
shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. There is a warrant for the purchase
of 38,460 shares of Class A Common Stock. All issued and outstanding shares have
been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable.
The Preferred Shares will have the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions set forth in the Restated Articles. All outstanding securities of
the Company were issued in compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the exhibits
hereto, there are no preemptive rights, voting agreements, options or warrants
or other conversion privileges or rights currently outstanding to purchase any
of the authorized but unissued stock of the Company.
2.4 Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company,
-------------
its directors and its shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company, the authorization,
issuance and delivery of the Preferred Shares and
-2-
the performance of all of the Company's obligations hereunder has been taken.
This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute a
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency
and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. The Preferred Shares, when issued
in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be validly issued and
will be fully paid and nonassessable, and will have the rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions described in the Restated Articles. The Preferred
Shares will be free of any liens or encumbrances other than those created by or
imposed upon the holders thereof through no action of the Company; provided,
however that the Preferred Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer
under state and/or federal securities laws. The Preferred Shares are not subject
to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal.
2.5 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in
---------------------------------
violation of any term of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or in any
material respect of any term or provision of any material mortgage,
indebtedness, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument, judgment or decree,
order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company. The execution,
delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement and the issuance
of the Preferred Shares have not resulted and will not result in any material
violation of, or conflict with, or constitute a material default under, or
result in the creation of, any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge
upon any of the properties or assets of the Company; and there is no such
violation or default that materially and adversely affects the business of the
Company as conducted or any of the Company's properties or assets.
2.6 Litigation, etc. The Company has not instituted, and is not a
---------------
party to, any action, suit, proceeding or investigation against any party. There
are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against the Company
or its properties before any court or governmental agency that, either in any
case or in the aggregate, might result in any material adverse change in the
business or financial condition of the Company or any of its properties or
assets, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to
carry on its business as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part
of the Company, and none that questions the validity of this Agreement or any
action taken or to be taken in connection herewith, including, without
limitation, any such action involving the prior employment of any of the
Company's employees or their obligations under any agreements with prior
employers.

-------------------------
of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the
part of the Company is required in connection with the valid execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the issuance of the Preferred Shares, or the
consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby, except for filing of
notices required by Section 25102(f) of the California Corporate Securities Law
of 1968 and any other filings required under applicable Blue Sky laws of other
states.
-3-
2.8 Offering. Subject to the accuracy of the representations of the
--------
Shareholders in Section 3 hereof and in written responses to the Company's
inquiries, the issuance of the Preferred Shares constitutes a transaction exempt
from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act").
3. Securities Laws; Representations of the Shareholders.
----------------------------------------------------
3.1 Restrictive Legend. The certificate or certificates representing
------------------
the Preferred Shares or any securities issued upon conversion of or in exchange
for the Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends
required by applicable corporate and securities laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"SECURITIES ACT"). THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT
AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE DISTRIBUTION
THEREOF. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (A) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO THESE SECURITIES OR (B) THERE IS AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, THAT AN EXEMPTION
THEREFROM IS AVAILABLE.
3.2 Representations and Warranties of Shareholders. In connection
----------------------------------------------
with the exchange of Common Stock for Preferred Shares, each of the Shareholders
represents and warrants to the Company the following:
(a) The Shareholder has good, absolute and valid title to the
Common Shares free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims and restrictions
of any kind.
(b) The Shareholder is familiar with the business and affairs of
the Company, and has had access to all information which it has requested
concerning the Company.
(c) The Shareholder is acquiring the Preferred Shares for
investment and not with a view towards distribution to the public within the
meaning of the Securities Act. The Shareholder understands that the Preferred
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 such Shareholder's investment intent as expressed herein.
(d) The Shareholder understands that the Preferred Shares will
be legended as set forth in Section 3.1 above.
-4-
(e) The Shareholder further acknowledges and understands that
the Preferred Shares must be held indefinitely until redeemed or converted into
Common Stock in accordance with the Restated Articles unless the Preferred
Shares are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from
such registration is available. The Shareholder further acknowledges and
understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Preferred
Shares.
(f) The Shareholder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act which, in substance, permit limited public
resale of "restricted securities" (acquired, directly or indirectly, from the
issuer thereof or from any affiliate of such issuer, in a non-public offering)
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other
things: (i) the availability, in certain cases, of certain public information
about the Company, (ii) the resale occurring not less than two years after the
party has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold; (iii) in the case of
an affiliate, or a non-affiliate who has held the restricted securities for less
than three years, the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited
"broker's" transaction or in transactions directly with a market maker (as such
term in defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and the
amount of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding the
specified limitations stated therein.
(g) The Shareholder further understands that, at the time
Shareholder wishes to sell the Preferred Shares or any securities issued in
exchange therefor, there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale,
and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be
satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in
such event, the Shareholder would be precluded from selling the securities under
Rule 144 even if the two-year minimum holding period had been satisfied.
(h) All corporate action on the part of the Shareholder, its
directors and its shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the
performance of all of the Shareholder's obligations hereunder has been taken or
will be taken prior to the Closing. This Agreement, when executed and delivered
by the Shareholder, will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the
Shareholder enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general
application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and
rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies.
4. Affirmative Covenants of the Company.
------------------------------------
4.1 Contractual Rights of Former Stockholders of Precision Visuals,
---------------------------------------------------------------
Inc. The Company hereby covenants that all contractual rights expressed in the
----
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of November 16, 1992 by and among
the Company, IMSL Acquisition Corp., Inc. and Precision Visuals, Inc. (the "PVI
Merger Agreement") shall survive and the holders of those rights shall continue
to enjoy such rights in the same manner as set forth in the PVI Merger
Agreement, except to the extent such rights are adjusted for the 5-for-1 stock
split
-5-
and recapitalization of the Company. For example, a Shareholder who holds a
Contingent Repurchase Right (as such term is defined in the PVI Merger
Agreement) and exchanges his Common Shares for Preferred Shares shall continue
to be able to exercise his Contingent Repurchase Right, but as a result of the
5-for-1 stock split and the recapitalization, the Shareholder shall be able to
exercise the Contingent Repurchase Right with respect to his Preferred Shares at
five (5) times the number of shares that were initially subject to the right,
but at a price per share that is one-fifth (1/5th) of the price set forth in the
PVI Merger Agreement. The net economic result for the Shareholder is the same as
it was before accounting for the recapitalization and the 5-for-1 stock split.

--------------------------------------------------------
Corporation. The Company hereby covenants that all contractual rights expressed
-----------
in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of February 26, 1993 by and
among the Company, VNI Acquisition Corporation and 3-D Visions Corporation (the
"3-D Merger Agreement") shall survive and the holders of those rights shall
continue to enjoy such rights in the same manner as set forth in the 3-D Merger
Agreement, except to the extent such rights are adjusted for the 5-for-1 stock
split and the recapitalization of the Company. As expressed in Section 4.1, the
net economic result for the Shareholder is the same as it was before accounting
for the recapitalization and the 5-for-1 stock split.
4.3 Contractual Rights of Parties to the Stock Repurchase Agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Company hereby covenants that all contractual rights expressed in the Stock
Repurchase Agreements dated as of March 18, 1993 entered into with certain
former stockholders of 3-D Visions Corporation in connection with the
acquisition of 3-D Visions Corporation (the "Stock Repurchase Agreements") shall
survive and the holders of those rights shall continue to enjoy such rights in
the same manner as set forth in the Stock Repurchase Agreements, except to the
extent such rights are adjusted for the 5-for-1 stock split and the
recapitalization of the Company. As expressed in Section 4.1, the net economic
result for the Shareholder is the same as it was before accounting for the
recapitalization and the 5-for-1 stock split.
5. Affirmative Covenants of Shareholders.
-------------------------------------
5.1 Recapitalization and Exchange. By execution of this Agreement,
-----------------------------
the Shareholder consents to and agrees with the recapitalization of the Company

Company for $19.50 per share are eligible to be exchanged on a share-for-share

5.2 Contingent VNI Class A Common. By execution of this Agreement,
-----------------------------
each Shareholder, who was a former stockholder of PVI or 3-D and is eligible to
receive additional shares of Common Stock ("Contingent Stock") if certain
performance criteria and escrow provisions are satisfied as set forth in the
respective PVI and 3-D Merger Agreements, hereby agrees to:
(a) if a former PVI stockholder, exchange each share of
Contingent Stock issued but currently held in escrow for five (5) shares of
Series C Preferred Stock of VNI and hereby authorizes First Interstate Bank of
Texas, N.A., as Escrow Agent, to rely on this Section 5.2 and exchange, on
behalf of each such Shareholder, each such escrowed share of Common Stock for
five (5) shares of Series C Preferred Stock of VNI, or
(b) if a former 3-D stockholder, receive, when and if earned
and/or released from escrow pursuant to the 3-D Merger Agreement, five (5)
shares of Series C Preferred Stock of VNI in lieu of one (1) share of Common
Stock that would otherwise be issued.
