      REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

    

    
      

    

    
      2.01  Representations and
Warranties of UTEK and MCCI.  UTEK and MCCI represent and
warrant to RSMI that the facts set forth below are true and correct, and will be
true and correct as of the Effective Date:

    

    
      

    

    
      (a)           Organization. MCCI
and UTEK are corporations duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of their respective states of incorporation, and they have the
requisite power and authority to conduct their business and consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. True, correct and complete copies
of the articles of incorporation, bylaws and all corporate minutes of MCCI have
been provided to RSMI and such documents are presently in effect and have not
been amended or modified.

    

    
      

    

    
      (b)           Authorization. The
execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the Acquisition and the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by
the board of directors and shareholders of MCCI and the board of directors of
UTEK; no other corporate action by the respective parties is necessary in order
to execute, deliver, consummate and perform their respective obligations
hereunder; and MCCI and UTEK have all requisite corporate and other authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

       

      (c)           Capitalization.  The
authorized capital of MCCI consists of 1,000,000 shares of common stock with a
par value $.01 per share (MCCI Shares). At the date of this Agreement, 1,000
MCCI Shares are issued and outstanding and held of record and beneficially by
UTEK, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, restrictions and claims of very
kind. UTEK has full legal right, power and authority to sell, assign transfer
and convey the MCCI shares so owned by UTEK in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. The delivery to RSMI of the MCCI shares so owned
by UTEK pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement will transfer to RSMI valid
title thereto, free and clear of any and all adverse claims. All issued and
outstanding MCCI Shares have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable shares and have not been issued in violation of any preemptive or
other rights of any other person or any applicable laws. MCCI is not authorized
to issue any preferred stock. All dividends on MCCI Shares which have been
declared prior to the date of this Agreement have been paid in full. There are
no outstanding options, warrants, commitments, calls or other rights or
agreements requiring MCCI to issue any MCCI Shares or securities convertible
into MCCI Shares to anyone for any reason whatsoever. None of the MCCI Shares is
subject to any change, claim, condition, interest, lien, pledge, option,
security interest or other encumbrance or restriction, including any restriction
on use, voting, transfer, receipt of income or exercise of any other attribute
of ownership.

       

      (d)           Binding Effect. The
execution, delivery, performance and consummation of this Agreement, the
Acquisition and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not violate
any obligation to which MCCI or UTEK is a party and will not create a default
under any such obligation or under any agreement to which MCCI or UTEK is a
party.  This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of MCCI, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, or similar
laws affecting creditor’s rights generally and by the availability of injunctive
relief, specific performance or other equitable remedies.

      (e)           Litigation Relating to this
Agreement. There are no suits, actions or proceedings pending or, to the
best of MCCI and UTEK’s knowledge, information and belief, threatened, which
seek to enjoin the Acquisition or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or which, if adversely decided, would have a materially adverse effect
on the business, results of operations, assets or prospects of
MCCI.

       

      (f)           No Conflicting
Agreements. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the
fulfillment of or compliance by MCCI or UTEK with the terms or provisions of
this Agreement nor all other documents or agreements contemplated by this
Agreement and the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement
will result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute
a default under, or result in a violation of, MCCI or UTEK’s articles of
incorporation or bylaws, the Technology, the License Agreement, or any
agreement, contract, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which MCCI or UTEK
is a party or by which MCCI or UTEK or any of their respective assets is bound,
or violate any provision of any applicable law, rule or regulation or any order,
decree, writ or injunction of any court or government entity which materially
affects their respective assets or businesses.

       

      (g)           Consents. No consent
from or approval of any court, governmental entity or any other person is
necessary in connection with execution and delivery of this Agreement by MCCI
and UTEK or performance of the obligations of MCCI and UTEK hereunder or under
any other agreement to which MCCI or UTEK is a party; and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not require the approval of
any entity or person in order to prevent the termination of the Technology, the
License Agreement, or any other material right, privilege, license or agreement
relating to MCCI or its assets or business.

       

      (h)           Title to Assets. MCCI

of every kind or nature whatsoever.

    (4)  Neither MCCI nor UTEK has
received a written communication from any individual, corporation,
proprietorship, firm, general or limited partnership, limited liability company,

Intellectual Property contained in the License Agreement violate any material
rights relating to Intellectual Property of any Person.

     

    (5)  To the knowledge of MCCI
and UTEK, and without any independent investigation, the validity or
enforceability of the Patent or any of the Technology and Intellectual Property
contained in the License Agreement, or the ownership thereof, has not been
questioned in any action, suit, arbitration, proceeding or other litigation
commenced or, to the Sellers’ knowledge, threatened by any Person or

    (6)  Except as otherwise

extend no warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not
limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,

      (j)           Liabilities of MCCI.
MCCI has no assets, no liabilities or obligations of any kind, character or
description except those listed on the attached schedules and
exhibits.

       

      (k)           Financial Statements.
The unaudited financial statements of MCCI, including a balance sheet, attached
as Exhibit B and made a part of this Agreement, are, in all respects, complete
and correct and present fairly MCCI’s financial position and the results of its
operations on the dates and for the periods shown in this Agreement; provided,
however, that interim financial statements are subject to customary year-end
adjustments and accruals that, in the aggregate, will not have a material
adverse effect on the overall financial condition or results of its operations.
MCCI has not engaged in any business not reflected in its financial statements.
There have been no material adverse changes in the nature of its business,
prospects, the value of assets or the financial condition since the date of its
financial statements. There are no, and on the Closing Date there will be no,
outstanding obligations or liabilities of MCCI except as specifically set forth
in the financial statements and the other attached schedules and
exhibits.  There is no information known to MCCI or UTEK that would
prevent the financial statements of MCCI from being audited in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

       

      (l)           
Taxes. All
returns, reports, statements and other similar filings required to be filed by
MCCI with respect to any federal, state, local or foreign taxes, assessments,
interests, penalties, deficiencies, fees and other governmental charges or
impositions have been timely filed with the appropriate governmental agencies in
all jurisdictions in which such tax returns and other related filings are
required to be filed; all such tax returns properly reflect all liabilities of
MCCI for taxes for the periods, property or events covered by this Agreement;
and all taxes, whether or not reflected on those tax returns, and all taxes
claimed to be due from MCCI by any taxing authority, have been properly paid,
except to the extent reflected on MCCI’s financial statements, where MCCI has
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and reserves have been
established on its financial statements to the full extent if the contest is
adversely decided against it. MCCI has not received any notice of assessment or
proposed assessment in connection with any tax returns, nor is MCCI a party to
or to the best of its knowledge, expected to become a party to any pending or
threatened action or proceeding, assessment or collection of taxes. MCCI has not
extended or waived the application of any statute of limitations of any
jurisdiction regarding the assessment or collection of any taxes. There are no
tax liens (other than any lien which arises by operation of law for current
taxes not yet due and payable) on any of its assets. There is no basis for any
additional assessment of taxes, interest or penalties. MCCI has made all
deposits required by law to be made with respect to employees’ withholding and
other employment taxes, including without limitation the portion of such
deposits relating to taxes imposed upon MCCI. MCCI is not and has never been a
party to any tax sharing agreements with any other person or
entity.

      (8)           Taken
any action, which could reasonably be foreseen to make any of the

authorized capital of RSMI consists of 900,000,000 (Nine Hundred Million) shares
of common stock with a par value $0.001 per share (RSMI Common Shares) and
15,000,000 (Fifteen Million) shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01
per share (RSMI Preferred Shares). On the Effective Date of the
Acquisition (686,182,134) RSMI Common Shares (which will include the
150,000,000 RSMI Common Shares to be issued at the Closing of the Acquisition)
will be issued and outstanding. The RSMI Common Shares outstanding have
been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable shares and
have not been issued in violation of any preemptive or other rights of any other
person or any applicable laws. No RSMI Preferred Shares are
outstanding.

       

      (d)         
Anti Dilution
Adjustments. UTEK currently owns 60,000,000 RSMI Common
Shares, and will be acquiring 150,000,000 unregistered RSMI Common Shares;
and based on a total of (686,182,134) issued RSMI Common Shares (on an as
converted basis) this total will represent a 30.6% ownership position in
RSMI Common shares as of March 24, 2008 on an “as if converted basis”. For a
period of twelve months from the Effective Date of this Agreement, the aggregate
number of RSMI Common Shares that UTEK has received shall be adjusted
proportionately by the Board of Directors of RSMI for any increase in the number
of outstanding RSMI Common Shares resulting from the issuance of any additional
equity securities by the Company to any of its current list of management and
directors as of the Effective Date, other than for previously agreed to
disbursements prior to the Effective Date of this agreement.
 

    

    

    
      For
purposes in this Agreement, “as if converted basis” shall mean total outstanding
common shares after giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding equity
securities including preferred stock or other convertible
instruments.

    

    
      

    

    
      (e)           Binding Effect. The
execution, delivery, performance and consummation of the Acquisition and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not violate any obligation to
which RSMI is a party and will not create a default hereunder, and this
Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of RSMI, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditor’s rights
generally and by the availability of injunctive relief, specific performance or
other equitable remedies.

       

      (f)           Litigation Relating to this
Agreement. There are no suits, actions or proceedings pending or to its
knowledge threatened which seek to enjoin the Acquisition or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or which, if adversely decided, would have a
materially adverse effect on its business, results of operations, assets,
prospects or the results of its operations of RSMI.

       

      (g)           No Conflicting
Agreements. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the
fulfillment of or compliance by RSMI with the terms or provisions of this
Agreement will result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute default under, or result in a violation of
RSMI’s  corporate charter or bylaws, or any agreement, contract,
instrument, order, judgment or decree to which it is a party or by which it or
any of its assets are bound, or violate any provision of any applicable law,
rule or regulation or any order, decree, writ or injunction of any court or
governmental entity which materially affects its assets or
business.

with its execution and delivery of this Agreement; and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not require the approval of any
entity or person in order to prevent the termination of any material right,
privilege, license or agreement relating to RSMI or its assets or
business.

      (a)           General. It has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in RSMI Common Shares pursuant
to the Acquisition. It is able to bear the economic risk of the investment in
RSMI Common Shares, including the risk of a total loss of the investment in RSMI
Common Shares. The acquisition of RSMI Common Shares is for its own account and
is for investment and not with a view to the distribution of this Agreement.
Except a permitted by law, it has a no present intention of selling,
transferring or otherwise disposing in any way of all or any portion of the
shares at the present time. All information that it has supplied to RSMI is true
and correct. It has conducted all investigations and due diligence concerning
RSMI to evaluate the risks inherent in accepting and holding the shares which it
deems appropriate, and it has found all such information obtained fully
acceptable. It has had an opportunity to ask questions of the officer and
directors of RSMI concerning RSMI Common Shares and the business and financial
condition of and prospects for RSMI, and the officers and directors of RSMI have
adequately answered all questions asked and made all relevant information
available to them. UTEK is an accredited investor, as the term is defined in
Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
rules and regulations thereunder.

       

      (b)           Stock Transfer
Restrictions.  UTEK acknowledges that the RSMI Common Shares
will not be registered and UTEK will not be permitted to sell or otherwise
transfer the RSMI Common Shares in any transaction in contravention of the
following legend, which will be imprinted in substantially the following form on
the stock certificate representing RSMI Common Shares:

       

      
        THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ACT), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF
ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, ASSIGNED,
TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISION
OF THE ACT AND THE LAWS OF SUCH STATES UNDER WHOSE LAWS A TRANSFER OF SECURITIES
WOULD BE SUBJECT TO A REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT, UNLESS UTEK CORPORATION HAS
OBTAINED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL STATING THAT SUCH DISPOSITION IS IN COMPLIANCE
WITH AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

      

       

       (c)   Legend.  Subject
to the new Rule 144 restrictions, 6 months following the stock acquisition
described herein, RSMI agrees to and shall direct its transfer agent to
remove the above legend upon the issuance by UTEK's legal counsel that the above
legend can be removed from UTEK's RSMI Common Shares.  RSMI agrees to and
promptly shall provide any information requested by UTEK or UTEK's counsel and
to make further direction to its transfer agent as necessary for such issuance
of an opinion regarding removal of the legend or the sale of such
restricted shares under Rule 144 or other available exemption from
registration.

       

      (d)   In the
event that RSMI wrongfully  fails to direct its transfer agent to
remove the legend within fifteen (15) days of request by UTEK, RSMI shall be
liable to an additional fee of ten percent (10%) of the current value of the
shares held by UTEK, determined based on the closing price of the shares on the
fifteenth day after the request is deemed received by RSMI, as well as any and
all attorney fees and costs that UTEK may incur as a result of RSMI failing to
comply in this request.

      REMEDIES

    

    
      

    

    
      6.01  Specific Performance.
Each party’s obligations under this Agreement are unique. If any party should
default in its obligations under this Agreement, the parties each acknowledge
that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages.
Accordingly, the non-defaulting party, in addition to any other available rights
or remedies, may sue in equity for specific performance, and the parties each
expressly waive the defense that a remedy in damages will be
adequate.

       

      6.02  Costs. If any legal
action or any arbitration or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of
this Agreement or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, or
misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement,
the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that action or
proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be
entitled.

of fairness, as allocated in accordance with the judgment of the arbitrators.
All awards in arbitration made in good faith and not infected with fraud or

    AMENDMENT
TO

    7% SENIOR
SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

    SERIES
06-01C DUE MARCH 10, 2008

    

    Holder:   Puritan
LLC

    

    This
Amendment (“Amendment”) to 7% Senior Secured Convertible Debenture Series 06-01C
due March 10, 2008 (the “Debenture”), is entered into between Rim Semiconductor
Company, a Utah corporation (the “Company”) and the Holder named
above.  Terms not otherwise defined or amended herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Debenture.

     

    The
Parties agree to amend certain terms of the Debenture, as follows, effective as
of March 17, 2008.

    

    
      	
            	
              1.  
        

            	
              Maturity
      Date.  Holder and the Company agree that the “Maturity
      Date” of the Debenture shall be September 17,
  2008.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	
              2.  
        

            	
              June 30, 2008 Interest
      Payment.  Notwithstanding anything otherwise set forth in
      the Debenture, the Company agrees to pay Holder all interest accrued on
      the Debenture as of June 30, 2008 in cash on the date set forth in the
      next sentence, and waives the Company’s right to make such interest
      payment in the Company’s common stock.  In consideration of
      Company’s waiver of its right to make such interest payment in common
      stock, Holder agrees to defer the Interest Payment Date with respect to
      the June 30, 2008 accrued interest until the Maturity
      Date.  Company agrees to pay interest on such deferred interest
      amount, in cash at a rate of 7% per annum, on the Maturity
      Date.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	
              3.  
        

            	
              Twenty Percent Premium
      on Principal Amount; Consideration.  As of the date of
      this Amendment, the remaining principal amount of Holder’s Debenture is
      $50,000.  In consideration of Holder’s execution of this
      Amendment and extension of the Maturity Date to September 17, 2008, the
      Company agrees that the remaining principal amount of the Debenture shall
      be deemed to be $60,000; provided, however, that $10,000 of the principal
      amount and any interest that shall accrue thereon after the date hereof
      (including interest on the deferred interest amount described in paragraph
      2 above) shall not be convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s
      common stock and must be paid in cash, by the Company, on the Maturity
      Date.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	
              4.  
        

            	
              No
      Default. Holder hereby agrees that as of the date hereof, no
      “Event of Default” has occurred under the
  Debenture.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	
              5.  
        

            	
              Execution
      Date.  This Amendment and the terms contained herein
      shall be considered null and void if a copy of this Amendment executed by
      Holder is not received by the Company by mail, fax or email by 5pm,
      Pacific time, on March 17, 2008.  Contact information is set
      forth on the signature page hereto.

            

    

    

    This
Amendment, the Debenture, and all other written agreements between the Company
and Holder set forth in full all of the representations and agreements of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
discussions, representations, agreements and understandings between the parties
with respect to the subject hereof.  Except as expressly amended
herein and as such amendment may require additional amendment to specific terms
and conditions, with such amendment being deemed made hereby, all of the terms
and provisions of the Debenture, and all other documents and agreements between
the Company and Holder shall continue in full force and effect and the same are
hereby ratified and confirmed.  In connection with this Amendment and
the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the parties agrees to execute and
deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts
that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform its respective
obligations under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby.
