                            THE EXCHANGEABLE SHARES

    The rights of holders of Exchangeable Shares, including exchange rights, are
described in the Acquisition Agreement with IPS, which is included as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement.

                      DESCRIPTION OF PHOTON CAPITAL STOCK

    The following description sets forth the general terms of our capital stock.
The descriptions set forth below do not purport to be complete and are subject
to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, our Restated Articles
of Incorporation, as amended, which are filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

GENERAL

    Our authorized capital stock consists of 20,000,000 shares of common stock,
no par value, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value, issuable in
series. As of October 1, 2000, there were 11,819,740 shares of our common stock
outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

COMMON STOCK

    The common stock to be issued in this offering will be, when issued, fully
paid and nonassessable. Our common stock does not carry any preemptive rights
enabling a holder to subscribe for or receive any additional securities that may
be issued from time to time by us. The rights of holders of common stock will be
subject to the rights of holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in
the future, which may adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock.
Our board of directors may issue additional shares of common stock or preferred
stock to obtain additional financing, in connection with acquisitions, to our
and our subsidiary's officers, directors and employees pursuant to benefit plans
or otherwise and for other proper corporate purposes. No preemptive rights,
conversion rights, redemption rights or sinking fund provisions are applicable
to our common stock, and there are no dividends in arrears or default.

    Boston Equiserve, LP is the principal transfer agent for our common stock.

    DIVIDENDS.  The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such
dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally
available for distribution. The rights of holders of common stock are subject to
the rights of the holders of any class of our capital stock having any
preference or priority over the common stock.

    LIQUIDATION RIGHTS.  Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, or winding-up of Photon Dynamics, the holders of common stock will
be entitled to receive ratably, after payment of all of our debts and
liabilities and of all sums to which holders of any preferred stock may be
entitled, all of our remaining assets.

    VOTING RIGHTS.  The holders of common stock currently possess exclusive
voting rights on all matters submitted to the Shareholders. However, in
connection with our acquisition of IPS, we expect to issue to a trustee for the
benefit of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares a share of Special Voting
Stock (described below) carrying voting rights equal to the number of then
outstanding Exchangeable Shares not owned by us or our affiliates. Our board of
directors may also specify voting rights with respect to any preferred stock
that may be issued in the future. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one
vote per share with respect to all matters. With respect to the election of
directors, shareholders may exercise cumulative voting rights. Under cumulative
voting, for each share held, a holder of common stock will be entitled to cast a
number of votes equal to the total number of directors to be elected at that
time. Each shareholder may give one candidate, who has been nominated

                                       6
<PAGE>
prior to voting, all the votes such shareholder is entitled to cast or may
distribute such votes among as many such candidates as such shareholder chooses.

    BOARD OF DIRECTORS.  Our board of directors is currently comprised of seven
(7) directors. The directors elected at each annual election hold office till
the next annual meetings of shareholders.

SPECIAL VOTING STOCK

    Our board of directors has authorized the issuance of one share of preferred
stock (the "Special Voting Stock"). The holder of the share of Special Voting
Stock is entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of then
outstanding Exchangeable Shares not owned by us or our affiliates. Under the
terms of the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement described below, the holder of
the share of Special Voting Stock must receive timely notice from holders of the
Exchangeable Shares in order to cast those votes corresponding to the
Exchangeable Shares then outstanding. The holders of common stock and the holder
of the share of Special Voting Stock will vote together as a single class on all
matters, except as otherwise required by law. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of Photon Dynamics, the holder of the share of Special
Voting Stock will give notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares of such
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up and subsequently the Exchangeable Shares
will be automatically exchanged for shares of common stock. No dividends are
payable on the share of Special Voting Stock. The Special Voting Stock will be
issued to a Canadian trustee (the "Trustee") under the Voting and Exchange Trust
Agreement, which will be entered into by us and the Trustee. The Special Voting
Stock, and the Exchangeable Shares, may be redeemed on the earlier of, among
other dates, December 19, 2005, or when there are 10% or fewer Exchangeable
Shares outstanding not owned by us or our affiliates.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

    Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the
fullest extent not prohibited by California law. We are also empowered under our
Restated Articles of Incorporation as amended and bylaws to enter into
indemnification contracts with our directors, officers, employees and agents and
to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom we are required or permitted
to indemnify. Pursuant to this provision, we have entered into indemnity
agreements with each of our directors and officers.

    In addition, our Restated Articles of Incorporation as amended provide that,
to the fullest extent permitted by California law, our directors will not be
liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary duty of care
to us and our shareholders. This provision in the Restated Articles of
Incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate
circumstances, equitable remedies such as an injunction or other forms of
non-monetary relief would remain available under California law. Each director
will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to us, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct or knowing and culpable violations of law, that the director believes
to be contrary to the best interests of us or our shareholders, involving a
reckless disregard for the director's duty to us or our shareholders when the
director was aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious injury to us
or our shareholders, or an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an
abdication of the director's duty to us or our shareholders, for improper
transactions between the director and us and for improper distributions to
shareholders and loans to directors and officers or for acts or omissions by the
director as an officer. This provision also does not affect a director's
responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or
state or federal environmental laws.

------------------------

(1) Incorporated by reference to Registrant's Registration Statement on Form
    SB-2 filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on
    November 15, 1995.

(2) Incorporated by reference to Registrant's Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC
    December 18, 1998.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or
given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by
reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
requirements of Rule 14-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by
Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or
cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given,
the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in
the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to provisions described in Item 15, 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 of 1933 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
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

        (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
    of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
    of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
    form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
    (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
    registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

        (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
    Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
    prospectus 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.
