      AGREEMENT

    

    THIS
      AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the 23rd day of January, 2008 by and
      between Gregory J. Wessling, (hereinafter referred to as "Secured Party"),
      and
      HouseRaising, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as “Debtor”).

    

    WITNESSETH:

    

    WHEREAS,
      in connection with the Debtor's negotiable Promissory Note and Forbearance
      Agreement of even date herewith in the original principal amount of Sixteen
      Thousand Three Hundred Dollars ($16,300.00) along with other obligation to
      pay
      Secured Party contained therein (hereinafter referred to as the “Note” and
      incorporated herein by reference); and

    

    WHEREAS,
      in order to secure the obligations of Debtor under and pursuant to the Note,
      Debtor has agreed to convey to Secured Party a security interest in certain
      of
      Debtor's assets in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set
      forth;

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for Ten Dollars ($10.00) and
      other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
      are
      hereby acknowledged by Debtor, the parties hereto, each intending to be mutually
      bound hereby, agree as follows:

    

    1. Creation
      of Security Interest.
      Debtor
      hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants to Secured Party a security
      interest in the following items (all such items being collectively referred
      to
      herein as the "Collateral"):

    

    All
      personal property, tangible or intangible, now owned or hereafter acquired
      by
      Debtor, including, without limitation, all equipment, motor vehicles, furniture,
      fixtures, inventory, contract rights, chattel paper, accounts, and general
      intangibles; all accessories and parts now or hereafter affixed thereto or
      utilized in connection therewith; all increases, substitutions, replacements,
      additions and accessions with respect thereto, now owned or hereafter acquired;
      and all proceeds and products with respect thereto. Specifically, Debtor assigns
      as additional collateral certain intellectual property owned by Debtor which
      assignment is evidenced by the Collateral Assignment Agreement executed by
      and
      between the Debtor and Secured Party of even date herewith, a copy of which
      is
      attached hereto as Schedule 1.

    

    2. Debt
      Secured.
      The
      security interest conveyed hereunder shall secure all obligations and
      indebtedness of Debtor to Secured Party of every kind and nature under and
      pursuant to the Note.

    

    3. Financing
      Statements.
      In
      order to perfect the security interest conveyed hereunder, Debtor agrees to
      execute or have executed and deliver to Secured Party, simultaneously with
      the
      execution hereof, any and all Financing Statements and other instruments or
      documents including but not limited to registration of said assignment with
      the
      United States Patent and Trademark Office and any landlord's lien waiver which
      Secured Party may deem necessary or appropriate in order to perfect said
      security interest. Debtor further agrees that at any time that any obligation
      under the Note remains unpaid, promptly upon receipt of Secured Party's written
      request therefore, Debtor shall execute and deliver to Secured Party any
      Financing Statement or other instrument or document that Secured Party may
      reasonably deem necessary or appropriate in order to perfect or continue the
      perfection of said security interest.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    4. Possession
      and Risk of Loss.
      Debtor
      agrees to insure the Collateral and keep it insured to the extent of its full
      fair market value against fire and other casualties, with extended coverage,
      under forms of policies and with companies satisfactory to Secured Party. Debtor
      agrees to pay for all premiums for such insurance when due, and further agrees
      to deliver copies of policies of said insurance to Secured Party. If Debtor
      fails to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 4, Secured Party may
      (but
      shall not be obligated to), in addition to and without limiting any other
      available remedies, procure or maintain such insurance, Debtor hereby agreeing
      to pay the premium therefore upon written demand of Secured Party as an
      additional part of the obligations secured hereunder. All such insurance
      policies shall name Secured Party as an additional insured.

    

    Debtor
      hereby covenants and agrees to give Secured Party at least thirty (30) days'
      prior written notice of any change in the location of any of the Collateral
      from
      the current location of same and to take such actions and steps as Secured
      Party
      may deem necessary or appropriate, as set forth in writing delivered by Secured
      Party to Debtor, in order to maintain a perfected security interest
      therein.

    

    5. Default
      and Remedies.
      Any
      default under the Note, Collateral Assignment Agreement or of the Security
      Agreement or any failure by Debtor to cure any breach hereunder within ten
      (10)
      days after Debtor's receipt of Secured Party's written notice thereof, shall
      constitute a default hereunder and under any obligation or liability of Debtor
      to Secured Party, including but not limited to the Note. Upon any such default,
      Secured Party shall be authorized, in his sole and absolute discretion, to
      declare any or all of Debtor's obligations and indebtedness to Secured Party
      (including but not limited to the Note) to be immediately due and payable,
      without demand or notice to Debtor and Secured Party may exercise any one or
      more of the rights and remedies granted pursuant to this Agreement, or any
      of
      the Security Instruments or given to a secured party under the Uniform
      Commercial Code or other applicable state or federal law then in effect in
      the
      State of North Carolina (or in such other state as the Collateral may then
      be
      located) or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right upon default
      to
      take possession of and sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the
      Collateral.

    

    6. Delivery
      and Disposition on Default.
      Debtor
      agrees that in the event of a default hereunder, it shall, if so requested
      by
      Secured Party, assemble at Debtor's expense and at a convenient place acceptable
      to Secured Party, all of the Collateral not theretofore delivered to Secured
      Party. If any notification of intended disposition by Secured Party of any
      of
      the collateral upon default is required to be given to Debtor, such
      notification, if mailed, shall be deemed reasonable and properly given if mailed
      through the United States Postal Service at least seven (7) days before such
      disposition, postage prepaid, addressed to Debtor at 4801 E. Independence
      Boulevard, Suite 200, Charlotte, North Carolina 28212.

      7. Persons
        Benefitted and Notices.
        This
        Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party, his legal
        representatives, heirs, successors in interest and assigns, and to any other
        person or entity who derives from Secured Party, title to or an interest
        in the
        Note, and shall be binding upon Debtor and its legal representatives, successors
        in interest and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise specifically set forth
        herein, all notices to the parties hereto shall be deemed duly and properly
        given and received three (3) days after mailing by United States Certified
        Mail
        to the respective addresses set forth below opposite their respective
        signatures, unless any such party has theretofore advised the other parties
        in
        writing of a change of address for such party for the dispatch of notices
        hereunder.

    8. Termination.
      This
      Agreement and the security interest hereby created in the Collateral shall
      terminate when all liabilities and indebtedness under the Note have been paid
      and satisfied in full. Wessling further agrees that once the obligations of
      the
      Promissory Note have been fully satisfied, he will execute any document
      reasonably necessary to document the termination of the obligations of the
      Promissory Note, Security Agreement, and Collateral Assignment Agreement. 
Wessling agrees that the payment of the Wachovia Debt without the invocation
      of
      his Personal Guarantee shall constitute a satisfaction of the Promissory Note
      provided the principal sum of Sixteen Thousand Three Hundred Dollars
      ($16,300.00) with interest has been paid.

    

    9. Waiver.
      Secured
      Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of his rights in any Collateral
      unless such waiver is in writing and duly signed by Secured Party. No delay
      or
      omission by Secured Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as
      a
      waiver thereof or of any other right.

    

    10. Terminology.
      All
      personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine,
      feminine or neuter gender, shall include all other genders; the singular shall
      include the plural and vice-versa. Titles of paragraphs in this Agreement are
      for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions
      hereof.

    

    11. North
      Carolina Law to Govern.
      This
      Agreement has been made and entered into in the State of North Carolina and
      shall be governed by the laws thereof. Whenever possible, each provision of
      this
      Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
      under
      applicable law, but if any provision contained herein should be prohibited
      or
      invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of
      such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
      provision or the other provisions of this Agreement.

      WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set forth their respective hands and

    COLLATERAL
      ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

    

    This
      COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT ("Assignment") is made and entered into as
      of
      this 23rd
      day of
      January, 2008, by and among HouseRaising, Inc., a North Carolina Corporation
      (the “Company" or “Assignor”), and Gregory J. Wessling, a resident of
      Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (the "Assignee").

    

    RECITALS

    

    A.
      Company owns the Intellectual Property known as System C which includes all
      components of a confidential and proprietary computerized management and
      operating system developed from Robert V. McLemore’s four decades of experiences
      gained from selling, designing and building 2,000 custom homes. This system
      utilizes cutting edge technology to develop a series of management processes
      based on time-proven old-world business techniques that has become HouseRaising.
      Through enhancements by the Company’s information technology team, hand-in-hand
      with Mr. McLemore and including the acquisition of LearnBytes, LLC, this
      software is changing the way custom homes are sold, designed and built. The
      Company’s Intellectual Property further includes all the plans, specification
      and design details previously contributed by Mr. McLemore, and which are subject
      to several patent-pending applications filed by Mr. McLemore and assigned over
      to the Company, including, without limitation, the mark “System C” and the URL
      HouseRaising.com and other URL’s owned by the Company related to the
      system.

      Company has executed a Promissory Note and Forbearance Agreement in favor of
      Assignee of even date herewith (the “Note”), in exchange for a security interest
      under North Carolina law in the Intellectual Property and related assets

      described on Exhibit "A" hereto.

      The
      parties are executing this Agreement in order to memorialize their agreement
      regarding the foregoing.
