Dear Ron:

Per our discussions, this letter agreement ("Agreement") will confirm our understandings regarding the exclusive engagement of Sedgefield Capital Corporation ("Sedgefield") by Revolutionary Concepts, Inc. (“RCI” or the "Company") to render certain financial advisory services to the Company.

We have reviewed your private placement memorandum dated November 9, 2004, your business plan and the projected profit and loss statements provided by you. We have assumed that all are accurate. Based upon these representations, we have formulated the following recommendations to RCI. We believe this structure offers the best and most realistic initial market capitalization for RCI.

1. Terms of Offering.

We discussed the commencement by RCI of a private placement of securities under exemptions afforded by Regulation D, Rule 506 as promulgated by the Securities & Exchange Commission. The Company would privately offer units of securities to qualified investors at an offering price of $5,000.00 per Unit. Each Unit would consist of 10,000 shares of common stock, 10,000 Class A Warrants and 10,000 Class B Warrants. The Class A Warrants would have an exercise price of $0.65 and the Class B Warrants would have an exercise price of $0.90. Each warrant would be exercisable for one share of RCI common stock for a period of two years from registration. The warrants may be redeemed by the Company, at the company’s election, for $0.05 per warrant upon meeting certain conditions.

 
 

 
 
This structure would provide the Company an opportunity to raise $500,000 in capital from the sale of 100 Units. In addition, it would provide the Company an opportunity to raise an additional $650,000 from the exercise of the Class A Warrants and $900,000 from the exercise of the Class B Warrants. If all Units are sold and all warrants exercised, the Company would receive gross proceeds of $2,050,000 from this plan.

On a fully diluted basis there would be 20,000,000 shares outstanding after the offering and exercise of all warrants. The figure breaks down as follows:

a. 16,000,000 shares to RCI principals, representing 80% of the Company;
b. 3,000,000 shares to the investors, representing 15% of the Company; and
c. 1,000,000 shares to Sedgefield and its associates, representing a total of 5.0%.
 
Upon successful completion of the private offering, we would assist the Company in a follow on public registration of securities through a process generally known as a “selling shareholders” offering. The public filing is expected to include a registration statement with the Securities & Exchange Commission to register the sale of the common stock shares, the sale, transfer and exercise of the warrants and subsequent resale of the underlying common stock or other securities. This would permit the public resale of the Company’s registered securities and the implementation of a public trading market.

In short, the Company would publicly register the securities that were offered in the private transaction, thereby taking RCI public by registering the holdings of those shareholders. The registration process provides an exit strategy for the private placement offerees, makes the offering more attractive to offerees and provides the Company with a liquid market for financial management. We believe this structure also presents an outstanding investment possibility for the private offerees.

2.  Services.
