the Companys most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
1. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from these sources:
|
|
Software and software license sales |
|
|
|
System hardware sales |
|
|
|
Professional service revenue |
|
|
|
Software development services |
|
|
|
Software design and development services |
6
|
|
Implementation services |
|
|
|
Maintenance and support contracts |
The Company applies the provisions of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, (SOP 97-2) as amended
by SOP 98-9 Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain
Transactions (SOP 98-9) to all transactions involving the sale of software licenses. In the
event of a multiple element arrangement, the Company evaluates if each element represents a
separate unit of accounting taking into account all factors following the guidelines set forth in
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21
(EITF 00-21) Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.
The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii)
delivery has occurred, which is when product title transfers to the customer, or services have been
rendered; (iii) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies and
significant uncertainties; and (iv) collection is probable. The Company assesses collectability
based on a number of factors, including the customers past payment history and its current
creditworthiness. If it is determined that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the
Company defers the revenue and recognizes it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured,
which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is
recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period.
Multiple-Element Arrangements the Company enters into arrangements with customers that
include a combination of software products, system hardware, maintenance and support, or
installation and training services. The Company allocates the total arrangement fee among the
various elements of the arrangement based on the relative fair value of each of the undelivered
elements determined by vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). In software arrangements for
which the Company does not have VSOE of fair value for all elements, revenue is deferred until the
earlier of when VSOE is determined for the undelivered elements (residual method) or when all
elements for which the Company does not have VSOE of fair value have been delivered.
The Company has determined VSOE of fair value for each of its products and services. The fair
value of maintenance and support services is based upon the renewal rate for continued service
arrangements. The fair value of installation and training services is established based upon
pricing for the services. The fair value of software and licenses is based on the normal pricing
and discounting for the product when sold separately.
Each element of the Companys multiple element arrangements qualifies for separate accounting
with the exception of undelivered maintenance and service fees. The Company defers revenue under
the residual method for undelivered maintenance and support fees included in the price of software
and amortizes fees ratably over the appropriate period. The Company defers fees based upon the
customers renewal rate for these services.
Software and software license sales
The Company recognizes revenue when a fixed fee order has been received and delivery has
occurred to the customer. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable and free of
contingencies based upon signed agreements received from the customer confirming terms of the
transaction. Software is delivered to customers electronically or on a CD-ROM, and license files
are delivered electronically.
System hardware sales
The Company recognizes revenue on system hardware sales generally upon shipment of the product
or customer acceptance depending upon contractual arrangements with the customer. Shipping charges
billed to customers are included in sales and the related shipping costs are included in cost of
sales.
Professional service revenue
Included in services and other revenues is revenue derived from implementation, maintenance
and support contracts, content development, software development and training. The majority of
consulting and implementation services and accompanying agreements qualify for separate accounting.
Implementation and content development services are bid either on a fixed-fee basis or on a
time-and-materials basis. For time-and-materials contracts, the Company recognizes revenue as
services are performed. For fixed-fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon
completion of specific contractual milestones or by using the percentage-of-completion method.
7
Software development services
Software
development revenue is recognized monthly as services are performed per fixed-fee
contractual agreements.
Software design and development services
Revenue from contracts for technology integration consulting services where the Company
designs/redesigns, builds and implements new or enhanced systems applications and related processes
for clients are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with AICPA SOP
81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP
81-1). Percentage-of-completion accounting involves calculating the percentage of services
provided during the reporting period compared to the total estimated services to be provided over
the duration of the contract. Estimated revenues for applying the percentage-of-completion method
include estimated incentives for which achievement of defined goals is deemed probable. This method
is followed where reasonably dependable estimates of revenues and costs can be made. Estimates of
total contract revenue and costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract, and
recorded revenue and costs are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Such revisions may
result in increases or decreases to revenue and income and are reflected in the financial
statements in the periods in which they are first identified. If estimates indicate that a contract
loss will occur, a loss provision is recorded in the period in which the loss first becomes
probable and reasonably estimable. Contract losses are determined to be the amount by which the
estimated direct and indirect costs of the contract exceed the estimated total revenue that will be
generated by the contract and are included in cost of sales and classified in accrued expenses in
the balance sheet.
Revenue recognized in excess of billings is recorded as unbilled services. Billings in excess
of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met.

Implementation services
Implementation services revenue is recognized when installation is completed.
Maintenance and support contracts
Maintenance and support consists of software updates and support. Software updates provide
customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases and patches
released during the term of the support period. Support includes access to technical support
personnel for software and hardware issues.
Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance
contract, which is typically one to three years. Maintenance and support is renewable by the
customer. Rates for maintenance and support, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically
established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement.
2. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are usually unsecured and stated at net realizable value and bad debts are
accounted for using the allowance method. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers
financial condition on an as-needed basis and generally requires no collateral. Payment is
generally due 90 days or less from the invoice date and accounts past due more than 90 days are
individually analyzed for collectability. In addition, an allowance is provided for other accounts
when a significant pattern of uncollectability has occurred based on historical experience and
managements evaluation of accounts
receivable. If all collection efforts have been exhausted, the account is written off against
the related allowance. See Note 9 for further information on certain outstanding receivables at
September 30, 2008.

3. Software Development Costs
FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86 Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed requires certain software development
costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of
technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires
considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated
future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies.
Software development costs incurred beyond the establishment of technological feasibility have not
been significant. No software development costs were capitalized during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2008 or 2007. Software development costs have been recorded as research and
development expense.
4. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (Revised
2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R), which revised SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS 123). Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based
on the value of the portion of share-based awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the
period. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the
number of shares granted and the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant.
Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line
amortization method over the vesting period.
See Note 8 for further information regarding the Companys stock-based compensation.
5. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. Significant estimates of the Company are the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets, deferred revenue, depreciable lives and methods of property and
equipment, valuation of warrants and other stock-based compensation and valuation of recorded
intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). This
statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
however, during December 2007, the FASB proposed FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2 which delays the
effective date of certain provisions of SFAS 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2008. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and
liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 for
financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position
or results of operations. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for further
discussion.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No 115. SFAS No. 159 permits an
entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most
of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 are elective; however, the amendment of SFAS No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with
available-for-sale or trading securities. For financial instruments elected to be accounted for at
fair value, an entity will report the unrealized gains and losses in earnings. SFAS No. 159 was
effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The adoption of SFAS No.
159 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 did not materially impact the Companys results of
operations or financial position.
9
During December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations
(SFAS 141 (Revised 2007)). While this statement retains the fundamental requirement of SFAS 141
that the acquisition method of accounting
(which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations, SFAS 141
(Revised 2007) now establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business
combination: recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired,
the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree; recognizes and measures
the goodwill acquired in the business combination or the gain from a bargain purchase; and
determines what information should be disclosed in the financial statements to enable the users of
the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.
The Company will adopt SFAS 141 (Revised 2007) for acquisitions that occur on or after January 1,
2009.
During December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). This statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and for the
deconsolidation of subsidiaries and clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an
ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. This statement also requires expanded disclosures that clearly identify and
distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling
owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2008. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material effect on its
results of operations or financial position.
In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB 110, which provides interpretive guidance regarding the
use of a simplified method in developing an estimate of the expected term of plain vanilla
share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments. Accordingly, the SEC
will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond
December 31, 2007, The Company has concluded that its historical share option exercise experience
does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term due to its limited
existence as a publicly traded company. Therefore, the Company will continue to use the
simplified method in developing its estimate of the expected term of plain vanilla options.
During March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivatives Instruments
and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). This statement
changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are
required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161
is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Company does not
believe that the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material effect on its results of operations or
financial position.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 142-3, Determination of
the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which aims to improve consistency between the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FAS 141(R),
especially where the underlying arrangement includes renewal or extension terms. The FSP is
effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is
prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this position on its financial
statements
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles
and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial
statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective
November 17, 2008. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a
material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance
Contracts An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 (SFAS 163). SFAS 163 requires that an
insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is
evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also
clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the
recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and
requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some
disclosures about the insurance enterprises risk-management activities. SFAS 163 requires that
disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the
first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not
permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material
effect on its results of operations or financial position.
10
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (EITF 03-6-1). EITF
03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions, with rights to
dividend equivalents, are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be
included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class
method described in FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Unvested share-based payment
awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or
unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to
the two-class method. In contrast, the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents that the
holder will forfeit if the award does not vest does not constitute a participation right. EITF
03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. All prior period EPS data presented shall be
adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and
selected financial data). Early adoption of EITF 03-6-1 is prohibited. The Company does not
believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its results of
operations or financial position.

The Company measures certain financial assets, including cash equivalents and
available-for-sale securities, at fair value on a recurring basis. In accordance with SFAS No. 157,
fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such
assumptions, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs
used in measuring fair value. The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
The fair value of available-for-sale securities included in the Level 1 category is based on quoted
prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market. The Level 1 category at
September 30, 2008 includes money market funds of $9.4 million, which are included in cash and cash
equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets, and government agency securities of $6.9 million,
which are included in marketable securities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Level 2 Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted
prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or
other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. The Company had no Level 2
financial assets measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30,
2008.
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and involve management judgment and
the reporting entitys own assumptions about market participants and pricing. The Company had no
Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets as of September
30, 2008.
The hierarchy level assigned to each security in the Companys available-for-sale portfolio is
based on its assessment of the transparency and reliability of the inputs used in the valuation of
such instrument at the measurement date. The Company did not have any financial liabilities that
were covered by SFAS No. 157 as of September 30, 2008.
NOTE 4: TERMINATION OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
On February 13, 2007, the Company terminated its strategic partnership agreement with Marshall
Special Assets Group, Inc. (Marshall) by signing a mutual termination, release and agreement. By
entering into the mutual termination, release and agreement, the Company regained the rights to
directly control its sales and marketing process within the gaming industry and will obtain
increased margins in all future digital signage sales in such industry. Pursuant to the terms of
the mutual termination, release and agreement, the Company paid Marshall $653,995 in consideration
of the termination of all of Marshalls rights under the strategic partnership agreement and in
full satisfaction of any future obligations to Marshall under the strategic partnership agreement.
Pursuant to the mutual termination, release and agreement, the
Company will pay Marshall a fee in
connection with sales of the Companys software and hardware to customers, distributors and
resellers for use exclusively in the ultimate operations of or for use in a lottery (End Users).
Under such agreement, the Company will pay Marshall (i) 30% of the net invoice price for the sale
of the Companys software to End Users, and (ii) 2% of the net invoice price for sale of hardware
to End Users, in each case collected by the Company on or before February 12, 2012, with a minimum
payment of $50,000 per year for the first three years. Marshall will pay 50% of the costs and
expenses incurred by the Company in relation to any test installations involving sales or
prospective sales to End Users.

NOTE 5: ACQUISITIONS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On August 16, 2007, the Company closed the transaction contemplated by the Stock Purchase
Agreement by and between the Company, and Robert Whent, Alan Buterbaugh and Marlene Buterbaugh (the
Sellers). Pursuant to such closing, the Company purchased all of the Sellers stock in holding
companies that owned McGill Digital Solutions, Inc. (McGill), based in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
The holding companies acquired from the Sellers and McGill were amalgamated into one wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The results of operations of McGill (now renamed Wireless Ronin
Technologies (Canada), Inc., (WRT Canada)) have been included in the Companys consolidated
financial statements since August 16, 2007. The Company acquired McGill for its custom interactive
software solutions used primarily for e-learning and digital signage applications. Most of WRT
Canadas revenue is derived from products and solutions provided to the automotive industry.
The Company acquired the shares from the Sellers for cash consideration of $3,190,563, subject
to potential adjustments, and 50,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The Company also
incurred $178,217 in direct costs related to the acquisition. In addition, the Company agreed to
pay earn-out consideration to the Sellers of up to $1,000,000 (CAD) and 50,000 shares of the
Companys common stock if specified earn-out criteria are met. The earn-out criteria for 2007 was
at least $4,100,000 (CAD) gross sales and a gross margin equal to or greater than 50%. If the 2007
earn-out criteria had been met, 25% of the earn-out consideration would have been paid. The 2007
earn-out criteria were not met and no 2007 earn-out was paid. The earn-out criteria for 2008
consists of gross sales of at least $6,900,000 (CAD) and a gross margin equal to or greater than
50%. The Company has accrued the 2008 earn-out consideration of $999,974 as part of its valuation
analysis which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Remaining Lease Obligation
On July 9, 2007, the Company moved from its former office space at 14700 Martin Drive in Eden
Prairie to its new office space at 5929 Baker Road in Minnetonka. Due to the move occurring during
the third quarter of 2007, a liability for the costs that will continue to be incurred under the
prior lease for its remaining term without economic benefit to the Company was recognized and
measured at the fair value on the cease use date, July 9, 2007. The lease accrual was charged to
rent in general and administrative expenses. The remaining liability at September 30, 2008 was
$107,051. The prior lease termination date is November 30, 2009. Since the prior lease is an
operating lease, the fair value of the liability is based on the remaining lease rentals, reduced
by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property, even though the
Company has not entered into a sublease to date. Other costs included in the fair value measurement
are the amortization of the remaining book values of the leasehold improvements on the premises and
the listing agent fee paid on the property. The existing rental obligations, additional costs
incurred and expected sublease receipts are as follows:

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had incurred costs of $95,349 in rent for the former
office space since vacating the property. Also, the former office space had not been subleased as
of September 30, 2008, but the Company is attempting to sub-lease this facility. The Company
calculated the present value based on a straight line allocation of the above costs and receipts
over the term of the prior lease and a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 8 percent. The costs
listed above have been aggregated in the general and administrative line of the consolidated
statements of operations.
Litigation
The Company was not party to any material legal proceedings as of November 1, 2008.

At September 30, 2008, there was approximately $1,528,082 of total unrecognized compensation
expense related to unvested share-based awards. Generally, the expense will be recognized over the
next four years and will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated forfeitures.
Valuation Information under SFAS 123R
For purposes of determining estimated fair value under SFAS 123R, the Company computed the
estimated fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. The weighted average
estimated fair value of stock options granted was $3.12 and $4.56 per share for the three months
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These values were calculated using the following
weighted average assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the
term of the Companys stock options. The expected life of stock options represents the
weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The Company used
historical closing stock price volatility for a period equal to the period its common stock has
been trading publicly. The Company used a weighted average of other publicly traded stock
volatility for the remaining expected term of the options granted. The dividend yield assumption is
based on the Companys history and expectation of future dividend payouts.
2007 Associate Stock Purchase Plan
In November 2007, the Companys shareholders approved the 2007 Associate Stock Purchase Plan,
under which 300,000 shares were originally reserved for purchase by the Companys associates. The
purchase price of the shares under the plan is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value on the
first or last day of the offering period. Offering periods are every six months ending on June 30
and December 31. Associates may designate up to ten percent of their compensation for the
purchase of shares under the plan. The first purchase date under the plan took place June 30, 2008,
on which date approximately 74,000 shares were purchased.
Employee Benefit Plan
In 2007, the Company began to offer a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan for eligible
associates. Associates may contribute up to 15% of their pretax compensation to the plan. There is
currently no plan for an employer contribution match.

NOTE 10: NET LOSS PER SHARE
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, (SFAS 128), basic net income (loss)
per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is computed by dividing
net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the periods presented.
Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period, increased to include dilutive potential common shares
issuable relating to outstanding restricted stock, and upon the exercise of stock options and
awards that were outstanding during the period. For all net loss periods presented, diluted net
loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share because the effect of outstanding restricted
stock, options and warrants is antidilutive.
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

NOTE 11: OTHER EVENTS
Agreements with NewSight
As previously reported, effective October 8, 2007, NewSight Corporation (NewSight) issued
the Company a Secured Promissory Note (the Note) for goods provided and services rendered. In
connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company also entered into a Security Agreement, dated
October 12, 2007, with NewSight pursuant to which the Company acquired a security interest in
certain collateral of NewSight, consisting of all existing and after-acquired video screens and
monitors and other equipment for digital signage then or thereafter provided by the Company to
NewSight, including all such equipment located in the Fashion Square Mall in Saginaw, Michigan and
the Asheville Mall in Asheville, North Carolina, and any grocery store premises operated by Meijer,
Inc. (Meijer) and its affiliates (the Meijer Network) and all related hardware, software and
parts used in connection with such equipment or the Meijer Network and all proceeds from such
personal property, but not including any intellectual property of NewSight (the Collateral).
The Note, as amended, matured on August 15, 2008. NewSights aggregate indebtedness to the
Company, including the Note, accrued interest, and all accrued warehousing fees and expenses and
network operating and maintenance expenses, totaled $2,761,608 at such date (the Aggregate
Indebtedness). Given NewSights inability to obtain financing that would have allowed it to repay
this obligation and given the termination of NewSights business relationship with Meijer regarding
the Meijer Network, the Company entered into negotiations with NewSight and its principal creditor,
Prentice Capital Management, L.P. (Prentice), to obtain ownership of the Collateral (other than
the Released Collateral (as defined below)) (the Surrendered Collateral) in recognition of the
Companys rights as a secured creditor. The Released Collateral represented Collateral presently
installed at the stores operated by CBL Associated at the Fashion Square Mall and the Asheville
Mall.
20
On August 21, 2008, the Company entered into a Turnover and Surrender Agreement with NewSight
(the Turnover and Surrender Agreement) under which NewSight surrendered, transferred and turned
over to the Company, and the Company accepted, the Surrendered Collateral in full satisfaction of
the Aggregate Indebtedness. The Company agreed that, except for the obligations under the Turnover
and Surrender Agreement, NewSight has no further obligations to the Company. The Surrendered
Collateral was turned over and surrendered to the Company on an as is and where is basis.
Under the Turnover and Surrender Agreement, NewSight granted the Company an irrevocable
license and consent to enter into any properties licensed to or leased by NewSight for the purpose
of taking possession and control of such collateral. NewSight further agreed to indemnify and hold
the Company and its subsidiary, and all of its shareholders, agents, officers and directors
harmless against any and all claims, losses and expenses (including attorneys fees) related to any
claims against the Company as a result of a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty by
NewSight in the Turnover and Surrender Agreement, and claims by any creditor, shareholder or
trustee of NewSight relating to the transfer and surrender under the Turnover and Surrender
Agreement. The Company and NewSight also agreed to a mutual release of all claims except
obligations arising under the Turnover and Surrender Agreement.
In addition, the Company entered into a Consent Agreement with Prentice on August 21, 2008 (the
Consent Agreement) pursuant to which Prentice consented to the terms and conditions of the
Turnover and Surrender Agreement. The Consent Agreement also provides for the allocation of any
future proceeds received or paid to the Company in connection with the Surrendered Collateral or
the Meijer Network. In general, such funds would be applied in the following manner: (1) first to
payment of the Companys expenses in connection with the turnover and surrender, (2) second to
payment of the Companys expenses in connection with replacing, modifying or enhancing the
Surrendered Collateral, (3) third to the Company in payment of the Aggregate Indebtedness,
(4) fourth the next $100,000 of proceeds would be allocated 70% to the Company and 30% to Prentice,
and (5) fifth all remaining proceeds would be allocated 50% to the Company and 50% to Prentice.
These allocations also apply in the event of the sale or contribution by the Company of the
Surrendered Collateral or the Meijer Network. However, such allocations do not apply to amounts
paid or payable to the Company in payment or reimbursement of its monthly costs to operate or
service the Meijer Network. The rights and interests granted by the Company to Prentice under the
Consent Agreement expire on the third anniversary of the Consent Agreement. The Company and
Prentice also generally agreed to a mutual release of all claims.
On August 21, 2008, the Company also entered into an Interim Operating Agreement with ABC
National Television Sales, Inc. (ABC) and Met/Hodder, Inc. (MH) pursuant to which the parties
will continue to operate the Meijer Network through October 31,
2008 (the Interim Operating Agreement). The Company will operate the monitors in Meijer
stores, monitoring content and providing certain advertisement tracking services. MH will provide
programming content, manage content play lists and perform certain monitoring tasks. ABC will
provide sales representation services. The Company entered into the Interim Operating Agreement to
continue to run the Meijer Network for an interim period necessary to establish a more permanent
arrangement with respect to the Meijer Network ownership and placement in Meijer stores. To the
extent that such funds are available from advertising revenues on the Meijer Network, the Company
will receive $51,000 to compensate it for expenses incurred to operate and monitor the Meijer
Network on this interim basis.
Meijer
sent a request for proposal to several national network providers,
including the Company, to build out the remaining network of
82 stores and continue to support the existing network of
102 stores in which the Company presently owns the network
hardware. The Company expects Meijer to choose one of these network
providers in the fourth quarter of 2008, with which to move forward.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company reclassified the NewSight account receivable balance of
$2,429,884, deferred revenue of $1,029,796, deferred costs of $585,538, and the accrued finders
fees of $48,464 to Network equipment held for sale totaling $1,937,162. This asset appears as a
separate line on the balance sheet as a current asset.
Reduction in Work Force
On November 3, 2008, the Company announced that it had reduced its workforce by 35
individuals, including both employees and contractors across all areas of the organization. This
workforce reduction results in an approximately 22 percent decrease in the Companys staff. This workforce
reduction is intended to align the Companys expense base with the current level of sales and projects, and
improve the overall efficiency of the organization.

Sales
Our sales increased $825,599, or 73%, to $1,949,532 for the three months ended September 30,
2008, compared to $1,123,933 for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily
to increased sales of hardware and software as well as a full quarter of sales from our Canadian
operations. For the quarter, hardware sales and installations increased approximately $309,000,
software sales increased approximately $313,000, and network hosting and other services increased
$204,000, due primarily to our acquisition of McGill Digital Solutions, Inc. in August 2007.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales increased $1,137,492, or 160%, for the three months ended September 30,
2008, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in cost of sales for the quarter
was due to a higher mix of lower margin hardware sales and the
continued impact of prior investment in our Network Operations Center.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses increased 50%, or $1,608,495, to $4,854,088 for the three months ended
September 30, 2008, compared to $3,245,593 in the same period in the prior year. This increase
was driven by increases in operating expenses of $626,397 related to our acquisition of McGill
Digital Solutions, Inc., which is in our results for a full quarter in 2008 versus approximately
one-half a quarter in 2007. For our Minneapolis operations, salaries and benefits increased
approximately $830,327, which was directly related to our increase in headcount and severance
payments, while professional fees and other costs increased $151,771 for the three months ended
September 30, 2008, largely due to the expense of being a public entity and growth of our business.
23
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $6,623 to $5,135 for the three months ended September 30, 2008,
compared to $11,758 for the same period in the prior year. The
decrease was the result of reduced debt balances under our capital
leases.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased by $346,033 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared
to the same period in the prior year. Invested cash was lower for the quarter as a result of the
use of funds for operations from the follow-on public offering of securities we closed in June 2007.

Sales
Our sales increased $1,104,037, or 25%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared
to the same period in the prior year. The overall increase in our sales was due primarily to our
acquisition of McGill Digital Solutions, Inc. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
hardware sales and installations decreased approximately $952,270 due primarily to the significant
sales of hardware to a single customer in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, software sales
increased approximately $262,640, due to the growth in our business, and network hosting and other
services increased $1,793,667, due primarily to our acquisition of McGill Digital Solutions, Inc.
24
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales increased $2,230,342, or 83%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in cost of sales for was due to a
higher mix of lower margin hardware sales in the first nine months of
2008 as well as investments in our Network Operations
Center.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $5,933,905, or 66%, for the nine month period ended September 30,
2008. This increase was attributable to higher expenses to support
growth opportunities and investments in our Company. More
specifically, there was an increase in operating expenses of $2,544,767 related to our
acquisition of McGill Digital Solutions, Inc. and for our Minneapolis operations, there was an
increase of $2,606,181 in salaries and benefits related to an increase in headcount, our
professional fees and other costs increased by $1,247,892 largely due to the expense of being a
public entity and growth of our business, and our advertising costs increased by $189,060 as a
result of tradeshow participation and the continued marketing of RoninCast.
The increases described above for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were partially
offset by a decrease of $653,995 related to the 2007 termination of a partnership agreement
described below and in Note 4, Termination of Partnership Agreement.
On February 13, 2007, we terminated a strategic partnership agreement with Marshall Special
Assets Group, Inc., a company that provides financing services to the Native American gaming
industry, by signing a Mutual Termination, Release and Agreement. We paid $653,995 in consideration
of the termination of all rights under the strategic partnership agreement and in full satisfaction
of any further obligations under the strategic partnership agreement. Going forward, we will pay a
fee in connection with sales of our software and hardware to customers, distributors and resellers
for use exclusively in the ultimate operations of or for use in a lottery (End Users). Under such
agreement, we will pay a percentage of the net invoice price for the sale of our software and
hardware to End Users, in each case collected by us on or before February 12, 2012, with a minimum
annual payment of $50,000 for three years. We will be reimbursed for 50% of the costs and expenses
incurred by us in relation to any test installations involving sales or prospective sales to End
Users.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $13,381 to $18,892 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
compared to $32,273 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was the result of reduced
debt balances under our capital leases.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased $336,509 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to
the same period in the prior year. Invested funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were
lower than the same period in the previous year as a result of our use of funds for operations from
the follow-on public offering of securities we closed in June 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
We do not currently generate positive cash flows. Our investments in infrastructure have been
greater than sales generated to date. As of September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of
$57,312,066. The cash flow used in operating activities was $11,252,307 and $5,716,202 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in cash used in operations was
due to the increase in our net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Based on our existing capital resources and current expense levels, which we recently
aligned to the current level of sales and projects to improve the overall efficiency of the
organization, we anticipate that our cash will be adequate to fund
our operations for the next twelve months.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $6,834,156 in the nine months ended September
30, 2008, compared to cash used in investing activities of $2,010,915 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. The increase in cash was primarily due to net sales of marketable securities of
$7,718,722 offset by purchases of capital equipment of $884,566 as
well as the use of funds to purchase McGill Digital Solutions, Inc. in the third quarter of
2007. Marketable securities consisted of
debt securities issued by federal government agencies with maturity dates in 2008.
25
Financing Activities
We have financed our operations primarily through sales of common stock, exercise of warrants,
and the issuance of notes payable to vendors, shareholders and investors. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, net cash provided by financing activities was $470,552 and
$27,470,936, respectively. Exercises of warrants and issuances of stock through our employee stock
purchase plan contributed funds in 2008, while funds for 2007 were the result of the follow-on
public offering of securities we closed in June 2007.
We believe we can continue to develop our sales to a level at which we will become cash flow
positive. Based on our existing capital
resources and our current expense levels, which we recently aligned to the current level of
sales and projects to improve the overall efficiency of the organization, we anticipate that our cash will be adequate to fund our operations for the next twelve
months.
Contractual Obligations
Although we have no material commitments for capital expenditures, we anticipate continued
capital expenditures consistent with our anticipated growth in operations, infrastructure and
personnel. We expect that our operating expenses will continue to grow as our overall business
grows and that they will be a material use of our cash resources.
Operating and Capital Leases
At September 30, 2008, our principal commitments consisted of long-term obligations under
operating leases. We lease approximately 19,089 square feet of office and warehouse space under a
lease that extends through January 31, 2013. In addition, we lease office space of approximately
14,930 square feet to support our Canadian operations at a facility located at 4510 Rhodes Drive,
Suite 800, Windsor, Ontario under a lease that extends through June 30, 2009. We also lease our
former headquarters facility of approximately 8,610 square feet at 14700 Martin Drive, Eden
Prairie, Minnesota. We do not occupy this building and are currently attempting to sub-lease this
facility through the expiration of our lease on November 30, 2009. In the third quarter of 2007, we
recognized a liability for anticipated remaining net costs on this lease obligation. The remaining
liability at September 30, 2008 was $107,051.
The following table summarizes our obligations under contractual agreements as of September
30, 2008 and the time frame within which payments on such obligations are due.

Based on our working capital position at September 30, 2008, we believe we have sufficient
working capital to meet our current obligations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivables. We
maintain our accounts for cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities principally at one
major bank. We invest our available cash in United States government securities and money market
funds. We have not experienced any significant losses on our deposits of our cash, cash
equivalents, or marketable securities.
26
We currently have outstanding approximately $89,000 of capital lease obligations at fixed
interest rates. We do not believe our operations are currently subject to significant market risks
for interest rates or other relevant market price risks of a material nature.
Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our consolidated financial position as
well as our consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely
impact our financial position as the assets and liabilities of our Canadian operations are
translated into U.S. dollars in preparing our consolidated balance sheet. These gains or losses are
recognized as an adjustment to shareholders equity through accumulated other comprehensive income.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of
September 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On
July 1, 2008, we converted to a new Microsoft Dynamics Great
Plains accounting package for our Canadian operations. This
accounting system enhances our financial accounting and reporting
controls over the previous package.
There
were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the quarter ended September 30, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the Company), hereby grants to
(the Optionee), an option (the Option) to purchase an aggregate of
shares of Stock (the Shares), at the price set forth below, and in all respects subject to the
terms, definitions and provisions of the Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. 2006 Amended and
Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) adopted by the Company, which is incorporated herein
by reference. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms used herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Plan.
1. Nature of the Option. This Option is not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code.
2. Exercise Price. The exercise price for each share of Stock is $___.
3. Exercise of Option. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Plan as follows:
(a) Expiration Date. The Option shall expire on the anniversary of
the date of grant (the Expiration Date). In no event may this Option be exercised after
the Expiration Date.
(b) Exercise of Option. Subject to the Plan and the other terms of this
Agreement regarding the exercisability of this Option, if the Optionee is a non-employee
director on each of the following dates, this Option shall be exercisable cumulatively as
follows: [% or number of shares] on the date of grant, and [% or number of
shares] on each subsequent anniversary of the date of grant.
(c) Limitations on Exercisability. In the event of Optionees death or
termination of service as a non-employee director, the exercisability of the Option is
governed by Sections 8 and 9 below, subject to the limitations contained in subsections
3(d), (e) and (f).
(d) Written Notice of Exercise. Any exercise shall be accompanied by a written
notice to the Company specifying the number of shares of Stock as to which the Option is
being exercised. Notation of any partial exercise shall be made by the Company on Schedule
I hereto. This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share, and must be exercised
for no fewer than one hundred (100) shares of Stock, or such lesser number of shares as may
be vested.
(e) Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase price of the Shares as to which
the Option may be exercised shall be paid in full at the time of exercise in one of the
forms of payment set forth in Section 6.
(f) Compliance with Laws and Regulations. No Shares will be issued pursuant to
the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation
system upon which the Shares may then be listed. Assuming such compliance, for income tax
purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the
Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.
4. Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in
Section 2(h) of the Plan), this Option shall become fully vested and exercisable unless this Option
is assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent substitutes options with substantially the
same economic terms as this Option. The Board or, where applicable, the Committee shall also have
the right to cancel the unexercised portion of this Option in the event of a Change in Control,
provided that in exchange for such cancellation, the Optionee will receive a cash payment equal to
the Change in Control consideration less the aggregate exercise price of this Option.
5. Optionees Representations. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the
Company may require the Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be
required by any applicable law or regulation.
6. Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be by (i) cash; (ii) check,
bank draft or money order; (iii) if authorized by the Board or the Committee, by delivery of other
shares of Common Stock (valued at the fair market value thereof on the date of exercise); or (iv)
by delivery of a combination of cash and other shares of Common Stock. The Board or the Committee
may, in order to prevent any possible violation of law, require the payment price to be paid in
cash.
7. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such
Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation,
including any rule under Part 207 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by
the Federal Reserve Board.
8. Termination of Status as a Non-Employee Director (Except by Death). If the
Optionee ceases to serve as a non-employee director, the Optionee may, but only within twelve (12)
months after the date the Optionee ceases to be a non-employee director of the Company, exercise
his Option to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination.
To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such
termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate.
9. Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of the Optionee occurring:
(a) during the term of the Option, and provided that the Optionee was at the time of
death a non-employee director of the Company and had been in continuous service as a
non-employee director since the date of grant of the Option, the Option may be exercised, at
any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death or until the expiration of
the Option, whichever date is earlier, by the Optionees estate or by a person who acquired
the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent the
Optionee was vested in and entitled to exercise the Option at the time of death; or
(b) within three (3) months after the termination of continuous service as a
non-employee director, the Option may be exercised, at any time within nine (9) months
following the date of death or until the expiration of the Option, whichever date is
earlier, by the Optionees estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the
Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent the Optionee was vested in and
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination of continuous service as a
non-employee director.
10. Suspension or Termination of Option for Misconduct. If the Board or the Committee
reasonably believes that the Optionee has committed an act of misconduct, it may suspend the
Optionees right to exercise this Option pending a determination by the Board or the Committee. If
the Board or Committee determines that the Optionee has committed an act of misconduct or has
breached a duty to the Company, neither the Optionee nor the Optionees estate shall be entitled to
exercise the Option. For purposes of this Section, an act of misconduct shall include
embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, nonpayment of an obligation owed to the Company, breach of
fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of the Companys rules resulting in loss, damage or injury
to the Company, or if the Optionee makes an unauthorized disclosure of any Company trade secret or
confidential information, engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition with respect to
the Company, or induces any party to breach a contract with the Company, neither the Optionee nor
the Optionees estate shall be entitled to exercise any option whatsoever. In making such
determination, the Board or the Committee shall act fairly and shall give the Optionee an
opportunity to appear and present evidence on the Optionees behalf at a hearing before the Board
or the Committee.
11. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order and may be exercised,
during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.
12. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. The number of shares of Common Stock
covered by the Option and the per share exercise price of the Option shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however,
that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been
effected without receipt of consideration. Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose
determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided
herein or in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, or options or rights to purchase shares of Common
Stock of any class shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option.
13. No Rights as Shareholder. The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with
respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to this Option prior to the date of issuance to him
of a certificate or certificates for such shares.
14. No Right to Continued Status as a Non-employee Director. The Option shall not
confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continued status as a non-employee director of
the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Board, the Company, or its
shareholders to terminate his status as a non-employee director of the Company at any time.
15. Notices. Any notice hereunder to the Company shall be addressed to it at its
principal executive offices; and any notice hereunder to the Optionee shall be addressed to him at
the address set forth below; subject to the right of either party to designate at any time
hereunder in writing some other address.
16. Investment Representation. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the
Company may require the person exercising the Option to represent and warrant at the time of
exercise that the shares of Common Stock are being purchased only for investment and without any
present intention to sell or distribute such shares, if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
such a representation is required by any relevant provisions of law. The shares of Common Stock
issued pursuant to the Option may be issued with appropriate legends on the stock certificates
representing the shares, and the Company may place stop transfer orders with respect to such
shares.
17. Plan Interpretation. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and
final all decisions and interpretations of the Board and, where applicable, the Committee, upon
questions arising under the Plan. In the event of any question or inconsistency between this
Agreement and the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall govern.
18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts each of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by the Chief
Executive Officer and the Optionee has executed this Agreement, both as of the day and year set

EXHIBIT 10.3
SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE
This Separation Agreement and General Release (Agreement) is between Wireless Ronin
Technologies, Inc. (the Company or WRT) and Jeffrey C. Mack (referred to in this Agreement as
I or me.)
1. |
|
Recital. The Company and I entered into an Executive Employment Agreement effective
April 1, 2006, hereafter referred to as the Employment Agreement. Capitalized terms used in
this Agreement but not herein defined are defined in the Employment Agreement. |
2. |
|
Resignation. I have voluntarily resigned from my employment and from all offices and
other positions I may have had with the Company effective September 23, 2008, (the
Resignation Date). This Agreement sets forth certain agreements between the Company and me
with respect to my separation from the Company. |
3. |
|
The Companys Payment and Benefits. Notwithstanding my resignation, and subject to
the conditions described in Section 3.4, the Company will provide to me the following pay and
benefits: |
|
3.1 |
|
Severance Pay. Severance payments totaling $260,000 less applicable deductions
for taxes and other deductions as appropriate (the Severance Payments). The Company
will pay such Severance Payments to me by making roughly equal installment payments to
me in accordance with the Companys ordinary payroll practices, over a period of 12
months. Such payments will commence on the first regular Company payroll date that
falls at least 18 days after the date of my signature. |
|
|
3.2 |
|
Group Health Benefits. If I am eligible for and elect to continue my group
health insurance coverage, then for a period of 12 months after the Resignation Date,
the Company will pay the premiums for such group health insurance coverage. After such
12 month period, I will be fully responsible for all such premiums. |
|
|
3.3 |
|
Warrants and Options. To the extent that I currently have warrants for the
purchase of 35,354 shares of Company stock that are fully vested (from issuances dated
7/12/2004), I will be given 180 days from my Resignation Date to exercise such
warrants. I further understand that the Company agrees to accelerate the vesting of
30,000 incentive stock options granted to me on 12/27/2007 at $2.80/share and 90,000 of
non-qualified options granted to me on 12/27/2007 at $2.80/share and that I will have
180 days from my Resignation Date to exercise such options; provided however, that I
will not be permitted to exercise any of such 120,000 options until after the
expiration of the revocation or rescission period described in Section 6.2 (without my
having revoked or rescinded). Any attempt to exercise such options contrary to this
provision will be null and void. |
|
|
3.4 |
|
Taxes and Deductions. All payments are subject to standard tax and other
deductions as appropriate. In addition, I will be fully responsible for all taxes,
interest and penalties arising out of any payments and benefits made to me under this
Agreement and will fully indemnify the Company and hold it harmless with respect to the
same. |
|
|
3.5 |
|
Conditions. All payments and benefits to be made under this Section are
conditioned on the Companys receipt of my written resignation on September 23, 2008,
effective immediately, and are subject to the following additional conditions: |
|
|
|
I must sign this Agreement within 21 days of receiving it and not revoke or
rescind my signature all as described in Section 6.2. |
|
|
|
|
I must not breach any of my promises or representations under this Agreement
or under any continuing obligations under my Employment Agreement as referenced
in Section 5.2. |
|
|
|
|
I must comply with all applicable securities laws, including specifically the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and
including any blackout or other trading restrictions imposed pursuant to such
laws. |
3.6 |
|
Adequate Consideration. I agree that these are payments and benefits to which
I am not otherwise entitled and provide adequate consideration to me under this
Agreement. |
4. |
|
My Release. |
|
|
|
In exchange for the consideration provided to me in this Agreement, including the Companys
payment of severance payments and benefits to me despite my resignation, and the Companys
willingness to allow me to resign, on my own behalf and on behalf of anyone claiming any
rights through me, I fully and finally release, waive, and give up all My Claims (as defined
below) against the Company and all Related Parties (as defined below). |
Related Parties means any parent, subsidiary, predecessor, successor, affiliate or
other organization or entity related to the Company, and all of their past or present
officers, directors, shareholders, employees, committees, insurers, indemnitors, pension
or welfare, and other benefit plans, successors, assigns, committees, administrators, and
all persons acting on behalf of, or on instruction from the Company or any other related
organization or entity.
My Claims as used in this Agreement means, all claims, actions, causes of action,
demands, and rights I have or may have against the Company or any Related Parties,
arising out of any acts, facts, or events which occurred in whole or in part before I
signed this Agreement whether or not I now know about or suspect them and whether past or
present. My Claims includes but is not limited to, all such claims for damages,
compensation, expenses (including attorneys fees) and any other form of relief,
regardless of the law or legal theory on which such claim is based and includes but is
not limited to all claims under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act
(ADEA), the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act,
the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the American with Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Minnesota Human Rights Act, as
each may have been amended, and all claims of any nature under any other federal, state,
or local statute, ordinance or other law or legal theory, including any based on wrongful
discharge, breach of any contract, promissory estoppel, emotional distress, defamation,
negligence, invasion of privacy, or any other theory, and including all claims related to
my employment or separation from employment with the Company.
|
|
I understand that I am giving up all of My Claims as described above. I will not bring any
lawsuits against the Company or any Related Party relating to any of My Claims. |
|
|
|
This release does not bar those few claims that cannot legally be waived under applicable
law, including my right to challenge whether this Agreement constitutes a knowing and
voluntary waiver of my claims within the meaning of the Older Workers Benefit Protection
Act. This release also does not bar me from filing a claim with the EEOC (Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission) or participating in an EEOC proceeding, but if any EEOC claims (or
any other claims) are pursued on my behalf, I understand that this Agreement will act as a
bar to any individual damages or other relief for me. To the fullest extent allowed by
applicable law, it is my intent to waive all of My Claims and rights and to have this be
interpreted as a full and general release. |
|
|
|
This Agreement does not affect my rights, if any, under the Companys directors and officers
liability insurance policy. This release does not affect the Companys obligations to
indemnify me to the fullest extent allowed under Minnesota law and pursuant to Minnesota

to indemnification and defense as more fully set forth in the Companys bylaws. |

accordance with the Subordination Agreement. As used herein:
a) The term Collateral shall mean the Collateral described and defined on Exhibit A attached

(as defined in the Turnover and Surrender Agreement, as defined below);

and
c) The term Meijer Network shall mean the digital monitor and signage display operated with
the Collateral at the premises owned or leased by Meijer, Inc. (Meijer).
Creditor hereby acknowledges receipt of the letter agreement (the Turnover and Surrender
Agreement) executed between Ronin and NewSight as of even date herewith. Creditor hereby consents
to the terms and conditions of the Turnover and Surrender Agreement and hereby disclaims any and
all interest in the Collateral, except as expressly provided herein, and hereby agrees that it will
release the Collateral (but only the Collateral) to the extent described in any financing statement
previously filed by the Creditor.
Ronin will provide the Creditor with a draft release incorporating the terms set forth in the
foregoing paragraph for approval by the Creditor prior to filing, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as the proposed release applies solely to the Collateral
and explicitly preserves and retains, and does not in any manner terminate or negatively impair,
the existing lien of the Creditor in the Excluded Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ronin agrees that any proceeds received or paid to Ronin or any
Related Acquiror (as defined below) from and after the date of this letter in connection with the
sale or other disposition of the Collateral or the Meijer Network, including any proceeds received
upon the license of the Collateral (or the related Meijer Network) and any advertising income
relating to the Collateral or the Meijer Network shall be allocated between the parties as follows:
First: To Ronin in payment or reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of
retaking possession, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like, and attorneys fees of
outside counsel and out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Ronin in connection with the
negotiation and preparation of the Turnover and Surrender Agreement and this letter, the
enforcement of its rights under the Security Agreement (as defined in the Turnover and Surrender
Agreement) or the disposition of any of the Collateral.
Second: To Ronin in payment or reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses and other amounts
actually incurred by Ronin in connection with any replacements, modifications or enhancements to
the Collateral.
Third: To Ronin in payment of the Aggregate Indebtedness (as defined in the Turnover and
Surrender Agreement).

70% to Ronin
30% to Creditor
Fifth: All remaining proceeds shall be allocated as follows:

50% to Creditor
In the event that the Collateral or related Meijer Network is sold or contributed by Ronin to
a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity (a Related Acquiror) in
complete or partial exchange for cash from, or equity or indebtedness in, the Related Acquiror,
then, in such event, the allocation of proceeds contemplated in this letter shall be made on the
basis of (1) the cash, if any, received by Ronin in consideration for the contribution, (2)
payments made under any promissory note or similar obligation, if any, executed by the Related
Acquiror in connection with the contribution and the cash distributions received by Ronin (or any
affiliate or subsidiary of Ronin) in respect of the equity interest of Ronin or any such affiliate
or subsidiary in the Related Acquiror and (3) payments received by Ronin with respect to any
portion of the Collateral or Meijer Network not contributed or sold to such Related Acquiror. In

entity in which Ronin or an affiliate of Ronin has a pre-existing equity ownership interest (a
Ronin Affiliated Acquiror), then, in such event, the proceeds received by Ronin or any affiliate
of Ronin, with respect to its pre-existing ownership interest in the Ronin Affiliated Acquiror,
from the subsequent sale or license of the Meijer Network shall be also allocated as set forth
above.
Ronin and Creditor acknowledge and agree the amounts to be distributed under this letter shall
not include any amounts paid or payable to Ronin in payment or reimbursement of Ronins monthly
costs to operate or service the Meijer Network, as calculated at Ronins historical prevailing
rates for such operation and service, all of which amounts will be retained by Ronin for its own
account.
Ronin hereby agrees that the Creditor may inspect the Collateral, and the books and records
relating to the Collateral or the Meijer Network (exclusive of books and records containing
confidential or proprietary information, unless Creditor agrees to execute a confidentiality
undertaking reasonably acceptable to Ronin) upon reasonable notice to Ronin as long as such
inspection does not interfere with Ronins use and enjoyment of the Collateral or the operation of
Meijer Network. In addition to the foregoing, upon the written request of Creditor, which request
may not be made more than six (6) times each calendar year, Ronin will provide the Creditor with
such information concerning the Collateral and the Meijer Network as Creditor may reasonably
request, including any documents and other information relating to the future sale, disposition or
license of the Collateral or the Meijer Network (except that Ronin shall not be required to
disclose any information of a confidential or proprietary nature, unless Creditor agrees to execute
a confidentiality undertaking reasonably acceptable to Ronin).
The rights and interest granted by Ronin to Creditor under this letter shall expire and become
immediately null and void on the third anniversary of this letter, after which date Ronin shall
have no further obligation to account for, or to provide Creditor with the benefit of, any proceeds
in connection with the Collateral or the Meijer Network, except that any proceeds received by Ronin
after the expiration of this letter under any option, purchase agreement, lease or other contract
executed prior to expiration of this letter in connection with the Collateral or the related Meijer
Network shall be allocated in accordance with the terms set forth above, notwithstanding the
expiration of the term of this letter.
Ronin acting on behalf of itself, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees,
independent contractors, agents, insurers, heirs, successors, and assigns, does hereby release,
acquit, forever discharge Creditor and its affiliates and owners, and each of their respective
officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, agents,

arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law or otherwise,
which Ronin has had, now has or may claim to have against any such Creditor Released Party (i) for
or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of
time to and including the date of this letter, whether such claims, demands, and causes of action
are matured or unmatured, known or unknown, except with respect to the obligations of the Creditor
under this letter and (ii) for any action that any Creditor Released Party may take in exercising
any of its rights and remedies as a secured creditor with respect to the Excluded Collateral.
Creditor acting on behalf of itself, its officers, directors, partners, employees, independent
contractors, agents, insurers, heirs, successors, and assigns, does hereby release, acquit, forever
discharge Ronin and its affiliates and owners, and each of their respective officers, directors,

claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or description whether arising in law or
equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law or otherwise, which Creditor has
had, now has or may claim to have against any such Ronin Released Party (i) for or by reason of any
act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time to and
including the date of this letter, whether such claims, demands, and causes of action are matured
or unmatured, known or unknown and (ii) for any action which Ronin may take with respect to the
Collateral or the Meijer Network, except that the Creditor does not release Ronin from payment and
performance of its obligations under this letter.

create any obligation on the part of either party to the other than as expressly set forth herein.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Ronin shall not have any obligation to insure or
otherwise preserve the Collateral for the benefit of Creditor. The Creditor hereby consents to any
actions that may be taken or omitted by Ronin in connection with the Collateral, except as
expressly provided in this letter.
Nothing contained in this letter shall be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture or
other similar relationship between Ronin and the Creditor. Pending disposition of the Collateral,
the Creditor shall not take any action to foreclose upon or otherwise exercise any right or remedy
the Creditor may have in respect of the Collateral.
In the event that the parties are unable to resolve a dispute concerning the meaning or
performance of this letter, then, in such event, either party may submit the dispute to binding

for resolution of any such dispute. Arbitration shall be conducted at the city of the respondents

Television Sales, Inc. (ABC), Met/Hodder, Inc. (MH) and Wireless Ronin Technologies (WR).
WHEREAS, ABC had an agreement with NewSight Corporation (NewSight) dated August 18, 2006
(ABC/NewSight Agreement), pursuant to which ABC provided programming (ABC Content) and sales
representation services to a network (the ABC In-Store Network or Network) of in-store
television monitors placed in grocery/retail stores owned and operated by Meijer, Inc. (the Meijer

November 23, 2005 (the License Agreement); and
WHEREAS, MH provided certain production services to ABC in connection with the licensing of
the ABC Content for the ABC In-Store Network; and
WHEREAS, WR provided the software and hardware to operate the ABC In-Store Network; and
WHEREAS, Meijer terminated the License Agreement as of July l, 2008 and ABC terminated the
ABC/NewSight Agreement effective the same day; and
WHEREAS, Meijer has requested that ABC, MH and WR continue to operate the ABC In-Store Network
for an interim period on the same terms as conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Term
The term of this Agreement shall commence as of July 1, 2008 and expire October 31, 2008
unless otherwise renewed by the parties (Term).
2. The ABC In-Store Network
The parties shall have the following responsibilities, at their own cost, in connection with
the ABC In-Store Network:
(a) WR Responsibilities
(i) WR shall operate the plasma and LCD monitors (the Monitors) in each of the

infrastructure that transmits the Monitor Content (as defined below) to the

uninterrupted operation, maintenance and upkeep of the Monitors and Network, and the
establishment and maintenance of relationships with Meijer and the Meijer Stores.
(iii) MH shall deliver to ABC, through a secured website, a copy of all content
edited and intended to be exhibited on the Channels, at least five (5) days prior to
their transmission on the Network. ABC shall inform
WR or MH of any changes ABC requires to be made to such content within
twenty-four (24) hours of ABCs receipt of such content. It is understood and agreed
that ABC retains the right to prevent any content from being transmitted on the ABC
In-Store Network if, in ABCs sole discretion, such content does not comply with ABCs
Broadcast Standards and Practices or would reflect negatively on ABC.
(iv) WR shall provide ABC with an as run log for proof of performance regarding
advertisements distributed over the Network.
(b) MH Responsibilities
(i) MH shall be responsible for providing programming content for the Monitors.
ABC shall no longer provide any new ABC Content for the Network and MH shall repurpose

and advertising sold by ABC (collectively, Monitor Content) shall appear in the same
format, i.e., Loops, and with the same allocations (i.e., percentage of content
provided by Meijer, percentage of content provided by MH, and percentage of
advertising sold by ABC), as previously provided on the Network. MH shall update the
Monitor content as required by the Network format.
(ii) MH shall also be responsible for managing the content playlists.

left open.
(iv) MH agrees that all Monitor Content for distribution on the ABC In-Store
Network shall be pre-approved by ABC before transmission on the Network. ABC shall
have the right, in its sole discretion, to prevent certain content from distribution
on the Network if such content violates ABCs Broadcast Standards or Practices or
reflects negatively on ABC. MH shall not include any content on the Monitors that is
produced or distributed by a competitor of ABC. The parties agree that the programming
and entertainment content provided by MH on the Network shall be similar to the
substance, format and editorial focus of the content provided by ABC since the
inception of the Network.
(v) WR shall provide ABC with a monthly report indicating proof of performance
regarding advertisements distributed over the Network, such report shall be provided
not later than 15 days after the last day of the previous month.

same as since the inception of the Network. ABC shall perform all services customarily
associated with such function including invoicing advertisers, collecting payments for
all advertising solicited and providing a monthly sales activity report.
(ii) ABC shall be responsible for making the payments as set forth in Section 3.
3. Revenues
(a) ABC currently projects that the Net Revenues (as defined herein) from the sale of
advertising on the Network during the Term shall be approximately $124,500. As used herein,

receipts; and

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that if actual Net Revenues are lower than
projected, each partys allocation shall be reduced on a pro-rata basis. If actual Net
Revenues exceed projections, any excess funds shall be used to pay for the production of new
ABC Content.
