On August 15, 2007, Neonode Inc. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Riding Tide Software, LLC (“Buyer”), a newly-formed limited liability company owned by Nick Bellinger, a former stockholder of PyX Technologies, Inc., a company we acquired in 2005.

Under the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to sell all of the assets associated with our enterprise storage business (the “Storage Assets”) to Buyer for $90,000 in cash at closing plus 70% of the net monthly revenues received by Buyer in the 12 months following the closing under the Purchase Agreement pursuant to the PyX Technologies OEM Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2004, between Buyer (as our successor in interest) and Pelco. In addition, the Purchase Agreement provides that the Storage Assets were sold to Buyer on an “as is” basis and that Buyer will indemnify us for any damages we suffer relating to the Storage Assets accruing or arising after the closing.

On August 20, 2007, we completed the sale of the Storage Assets pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Seller and Buyer acknowledge to the other Party that no other Party nor any agent or attorney of any other Party has made any promise, representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, written or oral, not contained herein concerning the subject matter hereof to induce it to execute this Agreement, and Seller and Buyer acknowledge that such Party has not executed this Agreement in reliance on any promise, representation or warranty not contained herein.
