<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;7 of Microvision's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorizes Microvision to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent
permitted by the Washington Business Corporations Act through the adoption of bylaws, approval of agreements, or by any other manner approved by the Board of Directors. In accordance therewith,
Section&nbsp;10 of Microvision's Amended and Restated Bylaws ("Bylaws") requires indemnification of present and past directors, as well as any person who, while a director, also was serving at the
request of Microvision as an officer, employee or agent of Microvision or as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity (each, an "Indemnitee"), who was or is made a party, or is

administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), because such Indemnitee is or was a director of Microvision. Section&nbsp;10 of the Bylaws also provides that any Indemnitee who was or is made a
party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of Microvision to procure a judgment in its favor because such Indemnitee is or
was a director of Microvision, will be indemnified and held harmless by Microvision to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law against all expense actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection with such action or suit; </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>provided </I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>that
the Indemnitee must have acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Microvision; and </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>provided
further </I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Indemnitee is adjudged liable to Microvision. Notwithstanding these
indemnification obligations, no indemnification will be provided to any Indemnitee to the extent that such indemnification would be prohibited by the Washington Business Corporation Act or other
applicable law as then in effect, nor, except with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, will Microvision indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection
with a Proceeding initiated by such person except where such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;10
of the Bylaws also provides that expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition may be advanced by Microvision to the Indemnitee
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by Microvision, except where the
Board of Directors adopts a resolution expressly disapproving such advancement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;10
of the Bylaws also authorizes the Board to indemnify and advance expenses to officers, employees and agents of Microvision on the same terms and with the same scope
and effect as the provisions thereof with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents By Reference.
The following documents filed by Microvision, Inc. ("Microvision"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) Microvision's
latest annual report filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
(b) All
other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the annual report or prospectus
referred to in (a) above.
(c) The
description of the authorized capital stock of Microvision contained in its registration statement filed under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including
any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating the description.
All
reports and other documents subsequently filed by Microvision pursuant to Sections 13(a) and (c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such reports and documents.
Any
statement contained herein, or in a document all or a portion of which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein, or in any other subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein, modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this
Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article 7 of Microvision's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorizes Microvision to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent
permitted by the Washington Business Corporations Act through the adoption of bylaws, approval of agreements, or by any other manner approved by the Board of Directors. In accordance therewith,
Section 10 of Microvision's Amended and Restated Bylaws ("Bylaws") requires indemnification of present and past directors, as well as any person who, while a director, also was serving at the
request of Microvision as an officer, employee or agent of Microvision or as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity (each, an "Indemnitee"), who was or is made a party, or is
threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether formal or informal, civil, criminal,
2
administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), because such Indemnitee is or was a director of Microvision. Section 10 of the Bylaws also provides that any Indemnitee who was or is made a
party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of Microvision to procure a judgment in its favor because such Indemnitee is or
was a director of Microvision, will be indemnified and held harmless by Microvision to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law against all expense actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection with such action or suit;
provided
that
the Indemnitee must have acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Microvision; and
provided
further
that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Indemnitee is adjudged liable to Microvision. Notwithstanding these
indemnification obligations, no indemnification will be provided to any Indemnitee to the extent that such indemnification would be prohibited by the Washington Business Corporation Act or other
applicable law as then in effect, nor, except with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, will Microvision indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection
with a Proceeding initiated by such person except where such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors.
Section 10
of the Bylaws also provides that expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition may be advanced by Microvision to the Indemnitee
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by Microvision, except where the
Board of Directors adopts a resolution expressly disapproving such advancement.
Section 10
of the Bylaws also authorizes the Board to indemnify and advance expenses to officers, employees and agents of Microvision on the same terms and with the same scope
and effect as the provisions thereof with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)  To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) that, individually
3
or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference
in the registration statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
