WHEREAS, concurrently with the Rackwise Note Offering, Assignee is completing a private placement of a minimum of 12,000,000 units (the “Minimum Offering”) and a maximum of 20,000,000 units of securities of Assignee (the “PPO Units”), with the right to sell an additional 4,000,000 units (the “Assignee Offering”), at the purchase price of $0.25 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of Assignee common stock and one five-year warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Assignee common stock for an exercise price of $0.625 per whole share;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the closing of at least the Minimum Offering, Assignor and Assignee will enter into an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization, pursuant to which VNDI Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Assignee will merger with and into Assignor, with Assignor surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Assignor;
 
WHEREAS, following the closing of the Rackwise Note Offering and simultaneous with the closing of the Merger and the closing of the Assignee Offering, Assignor has agreed to assign and Assignee has agreed to assume all of Assignor’s rights, privileges, obligations and duties in connection with the Rackwise Notes; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the closing of at least the Minimum Offering, the assumed Rackwise Notes will be converted, as to their outstanding principal amount and interest accrued thereon, into PPO Units at a conversion price equal to the price at which the PPO Units are being sold in the Assignee Offering;
