         On August 22, 2003, Universal Display Corporation. (the "Company")
entered into a placement agent agreement with SG Cowen Securities Corporation
(the "Placement Agent") in connection with the public offering (the "Offering")

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") on the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Commission File No. 333-88950). In
connection with the Offering, the Company issued to the Placement Agent a
warrant to purchase 50,313 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of
$8.00 per share.

         Such placement agent agreement and the form of warrant are filed
