ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
As previously reported, in January 2008 and subsequently in April 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 the most recent extension, the Note was
to mature on the first to occur of (1) successful completion of NewSights financing efforts, or
(2) May 30, 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 June 5, 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 (i) August 15, 2008 or (ii) the
completion of NewSights next financing transaction, generally excluding any financing of less than
$3,000,000 solely from Prentice Capital Management, L.P. or its affiliates. In addition, if
NewSight pays us amounts due for network operating and maintenance services fees through July 31,
2008 by that date, we will extend the maturity date of the Note to September 30, 2008, provided
that fees for services after July 31, 2008 are paid as and when due.
The Letter Agreement also provides that the Digital Signage Agreement dated May 25, 2007 by
and between WRT and NewSight regarding CBL Mall Installations (the CBL Mall Agreement) is
terminated. Our other agreements with NewSight, including the Digital Signage Agreement effective
October 12, 2007 (the Meijer Agreement) and the Security Agreement effective October 12, 2007
(the Security Agreement) remain in full force and effect.
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) NewSights breach of or
default under the Meijer Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement, or the Letter Agreement (in
each case after giving effect to any applicable cure periods described therein); or (2) NewSights
completion of a financing transaction, excluding any financing of less than $3,000,000 solely from
Prentice Capital Management, L.P. or its affiliates. Termination by NewSight of its engagement
agreement with Lazard Freres will not constitute a default under the Note. 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:
Extension. The Maturity Date of the Note is hereby extended from May 30, 2008 (as previously
extended by our letter agreement dated April 4, 2008), to the earlier to occur of (i) August 15,
2008 or (ii) the completion of NewSights next financing transaction, excluding any financing of
less than $3,000,000 solely from Prentice Capital Management, L.P. (Prentice) or its affiliates.
The earlier to occur of (i) or (ii) above shall be referred to hereafter as the New Maturity
Date.
Contingent Extension. WRT will grant a contingent extension of the New Maturity Date to
NewSight if NewSight pays WRT for all network operating and maintenance services according to the
following terms: If NewSight pays WRT the entire amount due to WRT for network operating and
maintenance services provided to NewSight through the date of this Letter Agreement, together with
any and all amounts due to WRT for such services provided to NewSight in July 2008, on or before
July 31, 2008, the New Maturity Date shall be extended to September 30, 2008; provided, however,
that NewSight must pay any amounts due to WRT for any services WRT provides after July 2008 as and
when due. If and only if NewSight elects to extend the New Maturity Date pursuant to this
paragraph, failure to make such payments will be a default under this Agreement and under the Note.
The amounts currently due and those amounts payable in the future under the Note and for network
operating and maintenance services are listed on Exhibit A to this Letter Agreement and are
mutually agreed by the parties. If New Sight does not elect to extend the New Maturity Date
pursuant to this paragraph, then NewSight shall pay the amounts due for all network operating and
maintenance services fees on or before the New Maturity Date.
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 and WRT acknowledge and agree that the Digital Signage Agreement, dated
as of May 25, 2007, by and between WRT and
NewSight regarding CBL Mall Installations (the CBL Mall
Agreement) is hereby terminated and no amounts are owed (other than those invoiced to date by WRT and remain
unpaid) by either party to the other party under the CBL Agreement; provided, that NewSight
acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right to return any unused Equipment to WRT under
Section 2(C) of the CBL Agreement before, on or following such termination. NewSight acknowledges
and agrees that the Digital Signage Agreement by and between WRT and NewSight, effective October
12, 2007 (the Meijer Agreement) remains in full force and effect.
Meijer Agreement. If upon completion of NewSights next financing transaction (excluding any
financing solely from Prentice or its affiliates), NewSight retains ownership of the Meijer
networks, then NewSight shall engage WRT to perform those services necessary to complete 85 Meijer
stores not yet converted pursuant to the Meijer Agreement, provided that financing terms and
pricing for goods and services required for this project are agreed to by the parties with each
party agreeing to enter into good faith negotiations with respect thereto.
Advance Payment; Security 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 Meijer Agreement or
otherwise until all amounts due from NewSight to WRT under the Note are paid in full. 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 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; provided, however,
that termination by NewSight of its engagement agreement with Lazard Freres shall not constitute a default by NewSight under the Note or give
rise to an acceleration of the New Maturity Date.
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:
|
|
|
NewSights breach of or default under the Meijer Agreement, the Note (as
amended hereby), the Security Agreement or this Letter Agreement (in each case,
after giving effect to any applicable cure periods described therein); or |
|
|
|
|
Completion of a financing transaction, excluding any financing of less than
$3,000,000 solely from Prentice or its affiliates. |
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 June 5, 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.

EXHIBIT 99
Wireless Ronin Technologies Agrees to Further Extend Maturity
Date of Note from NewSight Corporation
Wireless Ronin hopes to complete Meijer network after NewSight obtains financing;
parties terminate the CBL Mall agreement
Minneapolis, MN June 5, 2008 Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNIN), a
Minneapolis-based worldwide digital signage provider, today announced that it has entered into a
letter 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 been
extended to the earlier of (1) August 15, 2008, or (2) completion of NewSights next financing
transaction, excluding any financing of less than $3,000,000 solely from Prentice Capital
Management, L.P. or its affiliates. In addition, if NewSight pays Wireless Ronin amounts due for
network operating and maintenance services fees through July 31, 2008, by that date, Wireless Ronin
will extend the maturity date of the note to September 30, 2008, provided that fees for services
after July 31, 2008, are paid as and when due.
Wireless Ronin is willing to extend the maturity date of the note because of progress that
NewSight has made, said Jeffrey C. Mack, chairman, president and CEO. We believe that NewSight
is doing what it reasonably can to take the steps necessary to address their finances and we are
optimistic that this extension will help.
The letter agreement also provided that the Digital Signage Agreement dated May 25, 2007 with
NewSight regarding CBL Mall Installations is terminated. All other agreements with NewSight,
including the Digital Signage Agreement effective Oct. 12, 2007 regarding the Meijer stores network
and the Security Agreement with NewSight and Prentice Capital Management effective October 12,
2007, remain in full force and effect.
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 all amounts due from NewSight
to Wireless Ronin are paid in full.
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) NewSights breach of or
default under the Meijer agreement, the note, the security agreement, or the letter agreement
extending the note maturity date (in each case after giving effect to any applicable cure periods
described therein); or (2) NewSights completion of a financing transaction, excluding any
financing of less than $3,000,000 solely from Prentice Capital Management or its affiliates.
Termination by NewSight of its engagement agreement with Lazard Freres will not constitute a
default under the Note. The letter agreement specifies that, except as Wireless Ronin and
NewSight may subsequently agree in writing, no additional credit shall be extended to NewSight by
Wireless Ronin pursuant to the Note or on trade credit terms.
