ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. |
As previously reported, in January 2008, we extended the maturity date of the Secured
Promissory Note (the Note) issued by NewSight Corporation (NewSight) to our company in October
2007. Pursuant to such extension, the Note was to mature on the first to occur of (1) successful
completion of NewSights financing efforts, or (2) March 31, 2008. NewSight has advised us that it
is still in the process of raising capital, and has requested that the maturity date of the Note be
further extended.
On April 4, 2008, we entered into a letter agreement with NewSight (the Letter Agreement)
pursuant to which the Note will now mature on the first to occur of (1) May 30, 2008 or (ii) the
completion of NewSights next financing transaction, generally excluding any financing solely from
Prentice Capital Management, L.P. or its affiliates.
Under
the Letter Agreement, NewSight agreed to pay us a total of $59,517, in immediately
available funds, representing the amount due for network operating and maintenance services we
provided to NewSight in February and March 2008, and reimbursement of warehouse fees we paid for
the storage of equipment owned by NewSight in which we have a security interest.
The Letter Agreement provides that the amount due under the Note will be due and payable
immediately upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events: (1) termination of
NewSights relationship with its banker; (2) NewSights breach of or default under any agreement by
and between NewSight and our company, including the Letter Agreement (in each case after giving
effect to any applicable cure periods described therein); (3) NewSights completion of a financing
transaction which yields gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000, including any financing from
Prentice Capital Management, L.P. or its affiliates; or (4) NewSights failure to pay the amount
set forth above by the close of business on April 7, 2008. The Letter Agreement specifies that,
except as our company and NewSight may subsequently agree in writing, no additional credit shall be
extended to NewSight by us pursuant to the Note or on trade credit terms.
Sales to NewSight represented 42.5% of our total sales for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The Letter Agreement, which appears as Exhibit 10 to this report, is incorporated by reference
in response to this Item 1.01. A copy of the press release
announcing our entry into this Letter Agreement is filed as Exhibit
99 to this report and is incorporated by reference into this
Item 1.01.

Mr. John R. Bingle
NewSight Corporation
2 Park Avenue, 18th Floor
New York, NY 10016
Dear Jay:
Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (WRT), shall extend the maturity
date of the Secured Promissory Note dated October 8, 2007 (the Note), from NewSight Corporation
(NewSight) to WRT contingent upon the following terms and conditions:
Payment. Upon receipt of payment of the amounts specified in this Letter Agreement, the
Maturity Date of the Note is hereby extended from March 31, 2008, to the earlier to occur of (i)
May 30, 2008 or (ii) the completion of NewSights next financing transaction, excluding any
financing solely from Prentice Capital Management, L.P. (Prentice) or its affiliates.
|
|
|
NewSight will pay WRT the sum of $52,020, representing the amount due to WRT for
network operating and maintenance services provided to NewSight in February and March
2008. |
|
|
|
|
NewSight will pay WRT the sum of $7,497, representing reimbursement for warehouse
fees WRT paid on NewSights behalf for stored equipment owned by NewSight in which WRT
has a security interest. Those fees were paid by WRT in March 2008. NewSight agrees
to keep bills for such fees current by paying them directly. |
NewSight agrees to pay WRT a total of $59,517 (representing the amounts stated above) in
immediately available funds by 5:00 PM Central Daylight Time Friday, April 4, 2008.
Effect Upon Agreements. Each of Prentice and WRT acknowledges and agrees that the
Subordination Agreement by and between WRT and Prentice, effective October 12, 2007, is in full
force and effect. NewSight acknowledges and agrees that (1) the Digital Signage Agreement by and
between WRT and NewSight, effective October 12, 2007 (the
Digital Signage Agreement) and (2) the Digital
Signage Agreement by and between WRT and NewSight regarding CBL Mall Installations (the CBL Mall
Agreement) remain in full force and effect.
Digital
Signage Agreement. Upon completion of NewSights next financing transaction, excluding any
financing solely from Prentice or its affiliates, NewSight hereby agrees to engage WRT to perform
those services necessary to complete 85 stores not yet converted
pursuant to the Digital Signage Agreement, provided that financing terms and pricing for goods and services required for this
project will be established pursuant to good faith negotiation
between the parties. If NewSight disposes of assets composing
substantially all of the network contained within the Digital Signage
Agreement, the requirements of this paragraph shall be null and void.
CBL Mall Agreement. NewSight agrees to make payment in advance for all amounts required for
WRT to provide services or to sell goods to NewSight, to the extent such services are hereafter
requested in writing by Newsight, pursuant to the Digital Signage Agreement, the CBL Mall Agreement or
otherwise until all amounts due from NewSight to WRT under the Note are paid in full. WRT
acknowledges that Newsight is currently in a test-phase with CBL Properties under the CBL Mall
Agreement and that Newsight is not presently committed to roll out any further equipment in CBL
Malls or other properties under the CBL Mall Agreement. NewSight acknowledges and agrees that the
Security Agreement by and between WRT and NewSight, effective October 12, 2007 (the Security
Agreement), shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts due from NewSight to WRT under
the Note are paid in full.
Additional Credit. Except as WRT and NewSight may subsequently agree in writing, no
additional credit shall be extended to NewSight by WRT pursuant to the Note or on trade credit
terms.
Asset Disposition. For as long as the Note is outstanding, NewSight will, subject to WRTs
execution of a reasonable and customary confidentiality agreement acceptable to NewSight, provide a
weekly update of all discussions regarding any potential asset disposition involving WRTs
collateral in reasonable detail. Such confidentiality agreement shall prohibit WRT from contacting
any third parties with whom NewSight is in discussions without NewSights written consent, or
interfering with such discussions.
WRT Disclosures. NewSight acknowledges that WRT is a publicly traded company with obligations
to make filings with the SEC and to keep its shareholders reasonably informed with respect to
business developments. NewSight agrees that WRT may discuss or disclose developments with respect
to NewSights compliance with or default of its obligations to WRT under the Note; provided,
however, in no event may it disclose any confidential information from the above-referenced weekly
updates. WRT agrees to exercise reasonable efforts to provide NewSight with advance written notice
of that portion of press releases that relate directly to NewSight, understanding that WRT has sole
control of such releases.
NewSight Financing Efforts. NewSight represents and warrants to WRT that it is currently
using its best efforts, and will continue such efforts, to complete a financing transaction, in
addition to any financing solely from Prentice or its affiliates, that would enable NewSight to
repay the Note in full to WRT upon the amended maturity date set forth herein.
Termination. This Letter Agreement shall terminate and all amounts owing by NewSight to WRT
shall be due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of one or more of the below described
events:
|
|
|
Termination of NewSights engagement agreement with Lazard Freres; |
|
|
|
|
NewSights breach of or default under the Digital Signage Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement or this Letter Agreement (in each
case, after giving effect to any applicable cure periods described therein); |
|
|
|
|
Completion of a financing transaction which yields gross proceeds to NewSight
of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), including any financing from
Prentice or its affiliates; or |
|
|
|
|
Failure to pay the amount set forth above as described above
by the close of business on April 7, 2008. |
Any termination of this Letter Agreement shall not impact WRTs obligations under the
confidentiality agreement described herein, which shall survive any termination of this Letter
Agreement and remain in full force and effect.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign this letter in the
space indicated below and return it to us for receipt not later than 5:00 PM Central Daylight Time
on April 4, 2008, whereupon this Letter Agreement will become effective. The proposal contained
herein will expire unless we have received this letter signed by you within the time period
provided in the previous sentence or if sooner rejected.

Wireless Ronin Technologies Agrees to Further Extend Maturity Date of Note from NewSight
Corporation
Minneapolis, MN April 8, 2008 Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNIN), a
Minneapolis-based worldwide digital signage provider, today announced that it has entered into an
agreement to further extend the maturity date of the note issued to it by NewSight Corporation in
October 2007. Pursuant to the agreement, the maturity date of the note has now been extended to
the earlier of (1) May 30, 2008 or (2) the completion of NewSights next financing transaction.
Under the agreement, Wireless Ronin will receive a total of $59,517 from NewSight in
immediately available funds. This payment represents the amount due for network operating and
maintenance services provided to NewSight in February and March 2008, and reimbursement of other
fees associated with equipment owned by NewSight in which Wireless Ronin has a security interest.
NewSight did not complete its financing transaction during the first quarter of this year but
we understand it is actively working to secure financing, said Jeffrey C. Mack, president and CEO
of Wireless Ronin Technologies. By allowing NewSight additional time we feel it will be in a
better position to realize the benefits of its advertising-based
networks, its 3-D technology and the ability to
repay the note. We see industry interest in advertising-based networks in many places, including
the April 2008 issue of POP Times magazine which highlights NewSights networks.
The balance of the note is approximately $2.4 million. NewSight has agreed to make payment in
advance to Wireless Ronin for all services or goods requested by NewSight pursuant to any
agreements now in force until May 30, 2008.
