Minnetonka, MN 55345




Ladies and Gentlemen:




     Please refer to the Subordination Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) executed between
us as of October 11, 2007. Terms not otherwise defined in this letter shall be defined in
accordance with the Subordination Agreement. As used herein:



     a) The term “Collateral” shall mean the Collateral described and defined on Exhibit A attached
hereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Collateral does not include any of the
Excluded Collateral (as to which Ronin has no right, title or interest) or the Released Collateral
(as defined in the Turnover and Surrender Agreement, as defined below);



     b) “Excluded Collateral” shall mean (i) any of NewSight Corporation’s (“NewSight”) (or any of
its subsidiaries’) intellectual property, including but not limited to, inventions, patents, patent
applications, copyrights, technology (including the autostereoscopic 3D technology), trademarks,
service marks, trade dress and know-how, (ii) any assets of NewSight (or any of its subsidiaries)
not constituting Collateral and (iii) any proceeds arising from (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (b);
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).



     Fourth: The next $100,000 of proceeds shall be allocated as follows:


70% to Ronin

30% to Creditor




 









 








     Fifth: All remaining proceeds shall be allocated as follows:


50% to Ronin

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
the event that the Collateral or related Meijer Network is sold or contributed by Ronin to an
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 Ronin’s monthly
costs to operate or service the Meijer Network, as calculated at Ronin’s 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 Ronin’s 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,
attorneys, insurers, heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Creditor Released Parties”),
from any and all 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 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,
partners, members, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, agents, attorneys, insurers,
heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ronin Released Parties”), from any and all
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.



     The parties acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this letter shall be construed to
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
arbitration, it being understood and agreed that arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive method
for resolution of any such dispute. Arbitration shall be conducted at the city of the respondent’s
principal place of business in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration
Act and applicable rules of arbitration provided concerning the expedited commercial arbitration,
which rules and procedures shall apply in the event of a conflict between the terms of this
paragraph and such rules. Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator whose only
authority is to conduct the arbitration pursuant to this letter and to render as his or her award
(or final determination) the proposed resolution of the dispute submitted by one or the other of
the parties, without compromise or modification and an award to the prevailing party of its costs
of the arbitration, including its reasonable attorneys’ fees.



     This letter shall inure to the benefit of Ronin and the Creditor and their successors and
assigns. This letter is not a third party beneficiary contract and is not intended to confer any
right or benefit on any party other than Ronin and the Creditor and their successors and assigns.
Except as expressly provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement shall
remain unchanged.



     If the foregoing accurately reflects our understanding, please execute this letter in the
space provided below.
