PURCHASE OFFER FOR
UNAPIX ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
10% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2003
September 8, 1999
Dear Noteholder:
By this purchase offer (the "Offer"), Unapix Entertainment, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Unapix"), offers to purchase from the holders thereof
(the "Holders") in cash up to $3,611,250 of the $7,222,500 of its 10%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the "Notes") having an original
conversion price of $4.50 per share (and which is currently $4.17 per share
after giving effect to anti-dilution adjustments). The purchase price for the
Notes (the "Purchase Notes") purchased pursuant to this Offer will equal 104.5%
of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued interest thereon through the
date of purchase; provided, that such purchase is conditioned upon (i) such
Holder converting an equal principal amount of Notes, at the "Deemed Prepayment
Premium" (as defined below) at a modified conversion rate (the "Modified
Conversion Price") equal to the average of the closing prices of Unapix's common
stock, $.01 par value per share ("Common Stock"), as reported by the American
Stock Exchange, for the 10 trading day period ending immediately prior to the
"GE Credit Closing" (as defined below), capped at a maximum conversion rate of
$3.00 per share; and (ii) the occurrence of the GE Credit Closing. For avoidance
of doubt, any Notes converted at the Modified Conversion Price (the "Conversion
Notes") shall be deemed amended immediately prior to conversion to adjust the
conversion price to equal the price described above and to entitle the holder to
receive upon conversion the Deemed Prepayment Premium by converting same into
shares of Common Stock at the Modified Conversion Price. Notes not purchased or
converted pursuant to this Offer shall not be amended or modified in any way as
a result of this Offer. The "Deemed Prepayment Premium" shall mean the principal
amount of the Conversion Notes plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon
through the date of conversion plus the 4.5% pre-payment premium that would have
been payable on such Notes had they been called for redemption.
By accepting this Offer, Holders will be permitted to retain the common
stock purchase warrants that were included with the Notes in the Units that they
purchased.
<PAGE>
It is contemplated that this Offer will remain open through 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time, September 15, 1999, unless extended (the "Expiration Date").
However, Unapix reserves the right to terminate or extend this Offer at any
time.
THIS OFFER IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT UNAPIX CONSUMMATE A $40
MILLION CREDIT FACILITY WITH GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION ON TERMS
SATISFACTORY TO IT (THE "GE CREDIT CLOSING"). UNAPIX RESERVES THE RIGHT, AT ITS
ELECTION, TO NOT PURCHASE ANY NOTES OR PERMIT CONVERSION AT THE MODIFIED
CONVERSION PRICE UNLESS THE GE CREDIT CLOSING OCCURS. IF THE GE CREDIT CLOSING
OCCURS, UNAPIX SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PURCHASE ALL NOTES PROPERLY TENDERED.
This Offer is being extended pursuant to, and forms a part of, Unapix's
Prospectus, dated July 21, 1997, relating to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock underlying the Notes. A copy of such Prospectus has previously been
provided to each Holder. As the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Conversion Notes are covered by such Prospectus, it is expected that the
shares of Common Stock to be received by the Holders with respect thereto will
not be "restricted" shares (within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933),
and accordingly, could be resold by the Holders without restrictions subject to
applicable law.
First Montauk Securities will receive a solicitation fee of $.03 per share
of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes that are converted, pursuant to
this Offer, by Holders that it solicits. Accordingly, if a Holder has not been
solicited by First Montauk Securities, the Holder should check the appropriate
box on the Letter of Transmittal which accompanies this Offer.
To accept this Offer, a Holder should complete and sign the Letter of
Transmittal. The Letter of Transmittal together with the Purchase Notes and
Conversion Notes should be delivered to Unapix at the following address:
Unapix Entertainment, Inc.
200 Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10016
Attention: Michael R. Epps, Esq.

TELECOPY 212-252-7628
E-MAIL [email protected]
Questions relating to sending your Notes and confirmation that they have been
received by Unapix can be directed to the same address at Unapix. Because the
Notes are valuable documents, it is recommended that if shipped, they be sent
via a reliable express delivery service such as Federal Express, UPS, Airborne
Express or by hand, to permit receipt by Unapix.

respective tendering Holders, and this Offer and its acceptance will be deemed
null and void.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Offer (including if
the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension
or amendment), upon the GE Credit Closing, Unapix will accept for payment and
will pay for all Purchase Notes properly tendered prior to the Expiration Date.
All tenders by Holders and companion elections to convert the Conversion Notes
shall be irrevocable; except that Holders will be entitled to revoke their
tender if they simultaneously convert the full principal amount of their
Purchase Notes and Conversion Notes into shares of the Company's common stock in
accordance with the original terms of the Notes (without giving effect to this
Offer).

Offer are necessarily investing in the common stock of Unapix and accordingly,
