Now Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises, representations, warranties, and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.
Agreement to Sell and Purchase
 
1.1
Issuance and Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined) the Company hereby agrees to issue to the Investor, and the Investor agrees to purchase from the Company, that number of common shares of the Company equivalent to, but not exceeding, one-third (1/3) of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital, for an aggregate purchase price of US$5 million (the “Investment Amount”), constituting, at the Closing, 67.94 Shares at a purchase price of US $73,594.35 per Share.

1.2
Authorization of Shares. The Shares, when issued and allotted in accordance herewith: (a) will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free of pre-emptive or similar rights; (b) shall have the rights, preferences and privileges as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2 (the “Articles”); and (c) will be free and clear of any liens, security interests or third party rights created by the Company.

1.3
Investor’s Proportion of Company Share Capital. As stated in Section 1.1 above, the Shares shall constitute on the Closing Date (as defined below), one-third (1/3) of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis, after giving effect to the consummation of all transactions contemplated at the Closing, subject to Section 1.4 below, and treating all options, warrants, convertible securities and rights to purchase securities of the Company, on an as-exercised and as-converted basis (“Fully Diluted Basis”), all as reflected in the Company’s capitalization table attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3. 


1.4
Cancellation of Impugned Shareholder Shares. Notwithstanding Section 1.3 above, the Parties acknowledge that it is their present intention that for the purposes of resolving certain issues as between the Company and any Impugned Shareholders (as defined below) which will result in the purchase for cancellation (“Cancellation”) by the Company, of all or part of the share capital of the Company held by such Impugned Shareholders, that if, as a consequence of any such Cancellation, the shareholding of the Investor then exceeds one-third (1/3) of the share capital of the Company taken as a proportion to the holdings of the shareholders remaining after such Cancellation (the “Original Shareholders”, which term expressly excludes any Impugned Shareholder), then, in each such instance, the Investor shall sell, for nominal consideration, and the Original Shareholders shall purchase, in their Pro-Rata Proportions (as defined below), that number of the Shares held by the Investor necessary to adjust the proportionate shareholding of the Investor so that it constitutes only one-third (1/3) of the fully-diluted issued and outstanding share capital of the Company as at the date of each such Cancellation.

1.5
Financing of Cancellation. Subject to Section 1.7 below, in the event of any such Cancellation of Impugned Shareholder shareholdings as contemplated in Section 1.4 above, the Company shall pay only a nominal amount of the aggregate consideration payable in respect of all such Cancellations taken together. Any additional funds required, to the extent such required funds exceed nominal amounts, shall be borne by the Original Shareholders (as defined in Section 1.4) in their Pro-Rata Proportions, or in such proportions as the Original Shareholders may agree, in writing, as at the time of such Cancellation. Alternatively, and in the sole discretion of the Original Shareholders, where the Original Shareholders are required to bear the cost of any such Cancellation of Impugned Shareholder shareholdings, the Original Shareholders may elect instead to purchase such shareholdings from the Impugned Shareholder, at the transfer price determined under the relevant dispute settlement agreement, in their Pro-Rata Proportions, or in such proportions as the Original Shareholders may agree, in writing, as at the time of such purchase provided, however, that any such purchase shall not have the effect of reducing the proportionate shareholding of the Investor so that it constitutes less than one-third (1/3) of the fully-diluted issued and outstanding share capital of the Company as at the date of each such purchase.

1.6
Defined Terms. For the purposes of Sections 1.4 and 1.5 above, “Pro-Rata Proportion” means, with respect to any Original Shareholder as at the date of each such Cancellation, the percentage of Shares it owned directly or indirectly as at the Closing is of the total number of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company as at the Closing time, without taking into account the shareholdings of any Impugned Shareholder. For greater certainty, the Pro-Rata Proportion with respect to any Original Shareholder will be the fraction that has as its numerator the total number of issued and outstanding Shares of the Company held by such Original Shareholder as at the Closing time and as its denominator the total number of all issued and outstanding Shares of the Company held by all Original Shareholders as at the Closing time. For the purposes Sections 1.4 and 1.5 above, “Impugned Shareholder” means each of Nidek Co. Ltd. (“Nidek”) and Jean-Paul Chaduc (“Chaduc”).

1.7
Special Provisions - Nidek Cancellation. Notwithstanding Section 1.5 above, the Parties acknowledge that it is their present intention that, for the purposes of financing a Cancellation of Nidek shares, the Company shall pay the purchase price of the shares up to the amount otherwise paid to the Company by Nidek as part of any settlement agreement. Any funds required in excess of this amount, to the extent such required funds exceed nominal amounts, shall be borne by the Original Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.5 above.
