“1933 Act”). 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower and Lender desire that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained
herein, the Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Lender, and the Lender shall advance $2,000,000 (the “Advance”) for, a promissory note of the Borrower (“Note”) in the principal amount of $2,000,000, a form of

of the Borrower’s $0.01 par value common stock (“Common Stock”) (the “Class B Warrant Shares”) and 300,000 shares of Common Stock (“Continuation Shares”) if the Borrower does not exercise the
Prepayment Option on or before August 15, 2007. The Class B Warrants, Class B Warrant Shares and Continuation Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”

holders of any securities of the Borrower; 
 (iv) will not subject the holders thereof to personal liability by reason of being such

violation of Section 5 under the 1933 Act. 
 (h) Reporting Company. The Borrower is a publicly-held company subject to
reporting obligations pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and has a class of common shares registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act. Except for the Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2006, the Borrower has timely filed all reports and other materials required to be filed thereunder with the Commission during the preceding twelve months pursuant to the provisions of the 1934 Act.

 (i) Information Concerning Borrower. The Reports contain all material information relating to the Borrower and its operations and
financial condition as of their respective dates which information is required to be disclosed therein. Since the date of the latest financial statements included in the Reports, and except as modified in the Other Written Information or in the
Schedules, there has been no material adverse change in the Borrower’s business, financial condition or affairs not disclosed in the Reports (it being understood that by signing this Agreement, the Lender shall be deemed to have agreed in
writing to receiving such Other Written Information and Schedules). As of their respective dates, the Reports did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances when made. The Other Written Information does not constitute material non-public information. 
 (j) No Market Manipulation. The Borrower will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of
the Common Stock of the Borrower to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities or affect the price at which the Securities may be issued or resold. 
 (k) Listing. The Borrower’s Common Stock is listed on the NCM under the symbol IRSN. Except for a notice received during January 2007, which has been satisfactorily resolved, the Borrower has not received
any oral or written notice that the Common Stock is not eligible nor will become ineligible for listing on the NCM nor that the Common Stock does not meet all requirements for the continuation of such listing. As of the date of this Agreement and
the Closing Date, the Borrower satisfies all the requirements for the continued listing and trading of the Common Stock on the NCM. 
 (l)
Stop Transfer. The Securities, when issued, will be restricted securities. The Borrower will not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale, resale or delivery of any of the Securities, except as may be required in order
to facilitate compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws and unless contemporaneous notice of such instruction is given to the Lender. 
 (m) Not an Integrated Offering. Neither the Borrower, nor any of its Affiliates, nor to its knowledge, any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offer of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Borrower for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable
stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the NCM which would impair the exemptions relied 

  

 7 








 
upon in the offer and issuance of the Note and Securities, if and when offered and issued (“Offering”), the Borrower’s ability to
timely comply with its obligations hereunder, or the continued listing of the Common Stock on the NCM. Nor will the Borrower or any of its Affiliates take any action or steps that would cause the Offering to be integrated with other offerings which
integration would impair the exemptions relied upon in the Offering or the Borrower’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder, or under the rules and regulations of the NCM, or impair the continued listing of the Common Stock on
the NCM. The Borrower will not conduct any offering that will be integrated with the Offering, which integration would impair the exemptions relied upon in the Offering or the Borrower’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder
or under the rules and regulations of the NCM, or impair the continued listing of the Common Stock on the NCM. 
 (n) No General
Solicitation. Neither the Borrower, nor any of its Affiliates, nor to its knowledge, any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of
Regulation D under the 1933 Act) in connection with the Offering. 
 (o) Dilution. The Borrower’s executive officers and
directors understand the nature of the Securities issuable hereunder and recognize that the issuance of the Securities, if and when issued, will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other holders of the Borrower’s equity
or rights to receive equity of the Borrower. The board of directors of the Borrower has unanimously concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that the issuance of the Securities, if and when issued, is in the best interests of the Borrower.
The Borrower specifically acknowledges that if and when an obligation arises to issue the Continuation Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, such obligation will be binding upon the Borrower and enforceable regardless of
the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Borrower or parties entitled to receive equity of the Borrower. 
 (p) No Disputes with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no disputes of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Borrower to arise, between the Borrower and the accountants and lawyers
formerly or presently employed by the Borrower, including but not limited to disputes or conflicts over payment owed to such accountants and lawyers. Schedule 4(p) describes the status of the Borrower’s relationship with its accountants.

 (q) Incorporation by Reference. Except as modified on Schedule 4(q), the Borrower hereby represents and warrants for itself
and each Subsidiary that all of the representations made by Borrower in Section 4 of a certain Term Loan and Security Agreement between Lender and Alpha Capital Anstalt as Lenders and the Borrower, dated as of December 29, 2006, are true
and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and will be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, subject to such qualifications and exceptions set forth therein or in the Schedules delivered by
Borrower therewith. 
 (r) Subsidiary Representations. The Borrower makes each of the representations contained in Sections 4(a),
(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (p) and (q) of this Agreement, as same relate to each Subsidiary of the Borrower, with the same qualifications to each such representation.

through DWAC pursuant to the Depository Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Programs, subject to any restrictions imposed by securities laws. The name, address, telephone number, fax number, contact person and email address of the Borrower
transfer agent are set forth on Schedule 4(s).

and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof in all material respects, and, unless the Borrower otherwise notifies Lender prior to the Closing Date and Delivery Date, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing

preceding the Delivery Date.

period of three years.

exemption from registration under the 1933 Act as it relates to the Offering set forth in the form of legal opinion set forth in an exhibit delivered to Lender on the date hereof. The Borrower will provide an opinion to Lender on the Closing Date
from the Borrower’s legal counsel opining on certain other matters set forth in the form of legal opinion set forth in an exhibit delivered to Lender on the date hereof. The Borrower will provide its transfer agent, at the Borrower’s
expense, such other legal opinions in the future as are reasonably necessary for the issuance and resale of the Warrants, Warrant Shares and Continuation Shares. 
 6. Covenants of the Borrower. The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lender as follows: 
 (a)
Stop Orders. The Borrower will advise the Lender, within four hours after the Borrower or its attorneys receive actual notice of issuance by the Commission, the Principal Market (as defined in Section 6(b)) or any other trading or
listing market, any state securities commission or any other regulatory authority of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending any offering of any Securities, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or
sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any such purpose. 
 (b) Listing. From the date of this Agreement
and until the sooner of (i) three (3) years after the Delivery Date, or (ii) until all the Warrant Shares and Continuation Shares have been resold or transferred by Lender pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144,
without regard to volume limitations (“End Date”), the Borrower will maintain the listing or quotation of its Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange, NCM, Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, or New York Stock
Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock (the “Principal Market”)), and will comply in all respects with the Borrower’s reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market, as applicable. The Borrower will provide Lender copies of all notices it receives notifying the Borrower of the threatened and actual delisting of the Common Stock from any Principal
Market. As of the date of this Agreement, the NCM is the Principal Market. 
 (c) Market Regulations. The Borrower shall notify the
Commission, Principal Market and applicable state authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by
applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to Lender and promptly provide copies thereof to Lender. 
  

 9 








 (d) Filing Requirements. From the date of this Agreement until the End Date, the Borrower will
(A) cause its Common Stock to continue to be registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the 1934 Act, (B) comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the 1934 Act, (C) voluntarily comply with all
reporting requirements that are applicable to an issuer with a class of shares registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act, if Borrower is not subject to such reporting requirements, and (D) comply with all requirements related to
any registration statement filed in connection with any of the Securities. The Borrower will use its best efforts not to take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or the rules thereunder) to
terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under said acts until three (3) years after the Closing Date. From the date of this Agreement until the End Date, the Borrower will use its
best efforts to continue the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on a Principal Market and will comply in all respects with the Borrower’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market. The
Borrower agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities if required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to Lender promptly after such filing. 
 (e) Reservation. Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower undertakes to reserve, pro rata, on behalf of Lender, from its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a number of common shares equal to the
Continuation Shares and 115% of the amount of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Class B Warrants. For so long as the Securities are issued or are issuable, failure to have sufficient shares reserved pursuant to this Section 6(e) for
three (3) consecutive business days or ten (10) days in the aggregate shall be a material default of the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement. 
 (f) Confidentiality/Public Announcement. From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Borrower agrees that except in connection with a Form 8-K and any registration statement or statements
regarding the Securities, or in any other correspondence or filings with the Commission or the Principal Market, it will not disclose publicly or privately the identity of Lender unless expressly agreed to in writing by Lender or only to the extent
required by law and then only upon three business days prior notice to Lender. In any event and subject to the foregoing, the Borrower undertakes to file a Form 8-K or make a public announcement describing the Offering not later than the fourth
business day after the Closing Date and to file a Form 8-K or make a public announcement not later than four business days after exercise of the Prepayment Option or, in the event the Prepayment Option is not exercised by August 15, 2007, not
later than August 21, 2007 disclosing the non-exercise by the Borrower of the Prepayment option and the particular terms thereof. Prior to filing or announcement, such Forms 8-K or public announcements will be provided to Lender for its review
and approval not later than three business days prior to such filing. In the Forms 8-K or public announcements, the Borrower will specifically disclose the amount of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the filing of the Form 8-K or public
announcement. Except for notice or information relating to the Offering, upon delivery by the Borrower to Lender after the Closing Date of any notice or information, in writing, electronically or otherwise, and while a Note, Continuation
Shares, Warrants, or Warrant Shares are held by Lender, unless the Borrower has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Borrower or
Subsidiaries, or unless the Borrower has complied with Section 6(h) hereof, or unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Lender, the Borrower shall within one business day after any such delivery publicly disclose
such material, nonpublic information on a Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Borrower believes that a notice or communication to Lender contains material,
nonpublic information, relating to the Borrower or Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall so indicate to the Lender 

  

 10 








 
contemporaneously with delivery of such notice or information. In the absence of any such indication, the Lender shall be allowed to presume that all
matters relating to such notice and information do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Borrower or Subsidiaries. 
 (h) Non-Public Information. The Borrower covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided nor will provide Lender or its agents or counsel with any information that
the Borrower believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Lender or its agents or counsel shall have agreed in writing to receive such information. The Borrower understands and confirms that Lender shall be relying
on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Borrower. 
 (i) Special Waiver. The Borrower
covenants not to exercise its right arising under any agreement to which the Borrower and Lender are parties, to pay any interest, damages or liquidated damages with the delivery of Common Stock, until such time as such “payment in kind”
will not cause or result in a violation of the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, including but not limited to those rules limiting the amount of Common Stock that may be issued without filing a pre-approval application with the
Principal Market or without obtaining approval of the shareholders of the Borrower. 
 (j) Offering Restrictions. For so long as the
Subordinated Debt Notes remain outstanding and held by the Lender, except for Excepted Issuances (which shall have the same meaning as given such term in the Class A Warrant other than clause (xi) of such term unless the proceeds of such
underwritten public offering will fully retire the debt obligations Borrower owes to Lender) and except for Excluded Stock (which shall have the same meaning as given such term in the Subordinated Debt Notes other than clause (B) of such term),
the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Lender, enter into an agreement to issue any individual equity security, convertible debt security or other individual security convertible into Common Stock or equity of the Company at
a price that would trigger the anti-dilution provisions set forth in Section 10(d) of the Subordinated Debt Notes; provided however, that no consent of the Lender shall be required for the issuance of any convertible security that has an
exercise price or conversion price above the Conversion Price set forth in Section 10(d) of the Subordinated Debt Notes). 
 7.
Broker. The Borrower on the one hand, and Lender on the other hand, agrees to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any persons claiming brokerage commissions or finder’s fees or similar
payments on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and arising out of such party’s actions. The Borrower represents that
there are no parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, or similar payments in connection with the Offering. 
 8. Legal Fees. On
the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to Grushko & Mittman, P.C., a fee of $40,000 (“Legal Fees”) as reimbursement for services rendered to Lender in connection with this Agreement and the issuance of the Note. The Legal
Fees and reimbursement for estimated UCC search and filing fees and credit reports, if any, will be payable on the Closing Date. 
 9.
Covenants of the Borrower and Lender Regarding Indemnification. 
 (a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and
defend the Lender, the Lender’s officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, attorneys, control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any
nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Lender or any such person which results, arises 

  

 11 








 
out of or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by Borrower or breach of any warranty by Borrower in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or
Schedules, or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, any breach or default in performance by the Borrower of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by the Borrower hereunder, or

defend the Borrower and each of the Borrower’s officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, attorneys, control persons against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred
by or imposed upon the Borrower or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by such Lender in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules, or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto;
or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, any breach or default in performance by Lender of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by Lender hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by the Borrower and Lender, relating
hereto. 
 (c) In no event shall the liability of Lender or permitted successor hereunder or under any other agreement delivered in
connection herewith be greater in amount than the amount of the Advance that is actually repaid to Lender by Borrower. 
 (d) The procedures
set forth in Section 5 of a certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 29, 2006, to which Borrower and Lender are parties shall apply to the indemnification set forth in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) above.

 (b) Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and other documents delivered in connection herewith represent the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may be amended only by a writing executed by both parties. Except as set forth or referred to herein, all other agreements to which the Borrower, Lender, Subsidiaries, and Affiliates


  

 12 








 
are parties remain in full force and effect and unmodified. Neither the Borrower nor Lender has relied on any representations not contained or referred to in
this Agreement and the documents delivered herewith. No right or obligation of the Borrower shall be assigned without prior notice to and the written consent of Lender. 
 (c) Counterparts/Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different signatories hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and delivered by facsimile transmission. 
 (d) Law Governing this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without
regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the
State of New York. The parties and the individuals executing this Agreement and other agreements referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith on behalf of the Borrower agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial
by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid
or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision
which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. 
 (e) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction. The Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with
their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity. Subject to Section 10(d) hereof, each of the Borrower, Lender and any signatory hereto in his personal capacity hereby waives,
and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in New York of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of
the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 (f) Calendar Days. All references to “days” in the Transaction Documents shall mean calendar days unless otherwise stated. The terms “business days” and “trading days” shall mean
days that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours. Time periods shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation or time period were occurring in New York City. 
 (g) Default and Waiver. The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the failure to obtain the Lender’s and Alpha’s consent to the
Borrower’s issuance on May 16, 2007 of a warrant to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock is a technical default under the Subscription Agreement (the “Consent Default”), and (ii) the failure to register shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable to Lender constitutes a technical default under the Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement dated December 29, 2006 but shall not be deemed to be to be a cross default for purposes of the
Note. The Lender waives such failures solely for purposes of accelerating or requiring repurchase of the obligations under any agreement or instrument between the Borrower and/or its subsidiaries and the Lender and/or Alpha, triggering default


  

 13 








 
interest under any such agreement or instrument (but only with respect to the Consent Default), exercising remedies with respect to collateral (including
without limitation account collections, settlements, adjustments or compromises, returned inventory, and inspection, audit and appraisal) securing the obligations under any such agreement or instrument, claiming a cross-default under any such
agreement or instrument, tolling any restriction periods in any such agreement or instrument, preventing the payment of interest in shares of Borrower’s common stock under any such agreement or instrument (but only with respect to the Consent
Default), or preventing Borrower’s ability to repurchase stock from former employees or directors of Borrower under any such agreement or instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such waiver of the failure to register the shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable to Lender shall not constitute a waiver of any default interest or liquidated damages that may have accrued or will accrue with respect to such default ; (ii) such waiver shall continue only so long as Tim
Looney, TWL Group, L.P. or their Affiliates do not attempt to accelerate or collect any obligations owed to them by Borrower or Optex Systems, Inc. nor foreclose on any of their security interests in any of the assets of Borrower, Optex Systems,
Inc. or their Subsidiaries; and (iii) subject to the foregoing, Lender hereby agrees to extend the deadline to register any such shares until October 19, 2007. Except as specifically set forth herein or in the Note, no provision of this
Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any default by the Borrower under any other agreement between the Borrower and/or a Subsidiary and the Lender. 
 (h) Application of Payments. Anything in any Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender, at Lender’s sole discretion and election, may apply any payment received from or on behalf of
Borrower or any Subsidiary to any component or components of any obligation owed by Borrower or a Subsidiary to Lender pursuant to the Transaction Documents or any other source, in any sequence elected by Lender. The foregoing notwithstanding,
payment of the Redemption Amount described in Section 3 of the Note shall be applied as described in Section 3 of the Note.
