This SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of May 29, 2008 by and among Edgewater Foods International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and each of the Purchasers of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company whose names are set forth on Exhibit A hereto (individually, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”).

The parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Purchase and Sale of Preferred Stock

Section 1.1

Purchase and Sale of Stock. Upon the following terms and conditions, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchasers and each of the Purchasers shall purchase from the Company, the number of shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and stated value of $40.00 per share (the “Series D Preferred Shares”), convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in the amounts set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A hereto. An aggregate of up to 100,000 of the Series D Preferred Shares shall be issued and sold to all Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement. The designation, rights, preferences and other terms and provisions of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Certificate of Designation”). The Company and the Purchasers are executing and delivering this Agreement in accordance with and in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Section 1.2

Conversion Shares. The Company has authorized and has reserved and covenants to continue to reserve, free of preemptive rights and other similar contractual rights of stockholders, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Series D Preferred Shares then outstanding. Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares (and such shares when issued) are herein referred to as the “Conversion Shares”. The Series D Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Shares”.

Section 1.3

Purchase Price and Closings. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchasers and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers, severally but not jointly, agree to purchase the Series D Preferred Shares for an aggregate purchase price of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”). The Series D Preferred Shares and Warrants shall be sold and funded in separate

Each subsequent Purchaser shall execute this Agreement and the other applicable Transaction Documents (as hereafter defined) in the capacity of a Purchaser and Exhibit A shall be supplemented to reflect the sale of such additional Series D Preferred Shares. At each Subsequent Closing, such subsequent Purchasers shall purchase and the Company shall sell an aggregate of up to 50,000 Series D Preferred Shares for $2,000,000, and by the Outside Closing Date, all of the Purchasers shall have purchased and the Company shall have sold (inclusive of the Series D Preferred Shares sold and Purchase Price paid at the Initial Closing) an aggregate of up to 87,500 Series D Preferred Shares for an aggregate Purchase Price of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, there shall be one final closing (the “Final Closing”) which shall take place within ninety (90) days following the Initial Closing Date (the “Final Closing Date”), at which Vision Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. shall purchase and the Company shall sell an aggregate of 12,500 Series D Preferred Shares for the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), provided that the Company has hired a chief operating officer acceptable to Vision Capital Advisors, LLC.

The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers, as of the date hereof and each Closing Date (except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions attached hereto with each numbered Schedule corresponding to the section number herein), as follows:

(a)

Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. The Company does not have any subsidiaries

except as set forth in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 2007, including the accompanying financial statements (the “Form 10-KSB”), or in the Company’s Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarters ended February 29, 2008 and November 30, 2007 (the “Form 10-QSB” and, together with the Form 10-KSB and any and all Form 8-K Interim Reports filed by the Company since the date of the Form 10-KSB, collectively the “Recent 34 Act Filings”), or on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto. The Company and each such subsidiary is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 2.1(c) hereof) on the Company’s financial condition.

(b)

Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Management Lock-Up Agreement (as defined in Section 3.18 hereof) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, the Investor Lock-Up Agreement (as defined in Section 3.18 hereof) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, the Escrow Agreement by and among the Company, the Purchasers and the escrow agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”), which shall provide for the disbursement of funds at each Closing, and the Certificate of Designation (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), and to issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. The other Transaction Documents will have been duly executed and delivered by the Company at each Closing. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(c)

Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company and the shares thereof currently issued and outstanding as of the date hereof are set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto. All of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and the Series D Preferred Shares have been duly and validly authorized. Except as set forth in the Recent 34 Act Filings or on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto: (i) no shares of Common Stock are entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company; (ii) there are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company; (iii) the Company is not a party to any agreement granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its equity or debt securities; and (iv) the Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement

restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the Company. The offer and sale of all capital stock, convertible securities, rights, warrants, or options of the Company issued prior to the Closing complied with all applicable Federal and state securities laws, and no stockholder has a right of rescission or claim for damages with respect thereto which would have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company has furnished or made available to the Purchasers true and correct copies of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (the “Articles”), and the Company’s Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof (the “Bylaws”). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means (i) any event or condition which would have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects, or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, when taken as a consolidated whole, and/or (ii) any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

(d)

Issuance of Shares. The Series D Preferred Shares to be issued at the Closing will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and the Series D Preferred Shares, when paid for or issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable and entitled to the rights and preferences set forth in the Certificate of Designation. When the Conversion Shares are issued in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, such shares will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and the holders shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

(e)

No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Certificate of Designation and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein and therein do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Company’s Articles or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party or by which it or its properties or assets are bound, (iii) create or impose a lien, mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature on any property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) and (iv) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The business of the Company and its subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or regulations of any governmental entity, except for possible violations which singularly or in the aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect.

outstanding shares of capital stock of each subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable.

Neither this Agreement or the Schedules hereto nor any other documents, certificates or instruments furnished to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order

to make the statements made herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made herein or therein, not misleading.

(r)

Operation of Business. The Company and each of the subsidiaries owns or possesses all patents, trademarks, domain names (whether or not registered) and any patentable improvements or copyrightable derivative works thereof, websites and intellectual property rights relating thereto, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and authorizations as set forth in the Recent 34 Act Filings, and all rights with respect to the foregoing, which are necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted without any conflict with the rights of others.

(s)

Environmental Compliance. The Company and each of its subsidiaries have obtained all material approvals, authorization, certificates, consents, licenses, orders and permits or other similar authorizations of all governmental authorities, or from any other person, that are required under any Environmental Laws.

Except for such instances as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no past or present events, conditions, circumstances, incidents, actions or omissions relating to or in any way affecting the Company or its subsidiaries that violate or may violate any Environmental Law after the Closing Date or that may give rise to any environmental liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study or investigation (i) under any Environmental Law, or (ii) based on or related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage (including without limitation underground storage tanks), disposal, transport or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release of any hazardous substance.

(t)

Books and Record Internal Accounting Controls. The books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries accurately reflect in all material respects the information relating to the business of the Company and the subsidiaries, the location and collection of their assets, and the nature of all transactions giving rise to the obligations or accounts receivable of the Company or any subsidiary. The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the Company, to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial

statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate actions is taken with respect to any differences.

Stock Certificate Legend

Section 5.1

Legend. Each certificate representing the Series D Preferred Shares, and, if appropriate, securities issued upon conversion thereof, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):

THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR EDGEWATER FOODS INTERNATIONAL, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion Shares without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement.

Whenever a certificate representing the Conversion Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Conversion Shares is then in effect or such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser's Prime Broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement) provided that the Company and the Company’s transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system.

ARTICLE VI

Indemnification

Section 6.1

Company Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, managers, partners, members, shareholders, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein.

Section 6.2

Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with

counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

ARTICLE VII

Miscellaneous

Each of the Company and the Purchasers consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Nevada and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary.

The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. Each of the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered, and the Preferred Stock has been duly executed, issued and delivered by the Company and each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is not subject to any preemptive rights under the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws.

The Preferred Stock has been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment in full as provided in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and, when delivered upon conversion or against payment in full as provided in the Certificate of Designation, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock do not (i) violate any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party, (iii) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) and (iv) above, for such conflicts, default, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required under Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation in connection with the valid execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock other than the Certificate of Designation.

There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened against the Company which questions the validity of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending, or to our knowledge, threatened, against or involving the Company or any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any officers or directors of the Company in their capacities as such.

The offer, issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock and the offer, issuance and sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Certificate of Designation are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon Closing will not be, an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Very truly yours,
