o Cornell Capital Partners agreed not to foreclose on its
outstanding indebtedness owed by NUWAVE.
o Cornell Capital Partners agreed to enter into a new loan
agreement with NUWAVE for net proceeds of $200,000 to be deposited in

filings and status.
o Gerald Zarin, NUWAVE's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
the Board of Directors, and Jeremiah O'Brien, NUWAVE's Chief Financial
Officer, agreed to resign all positions with NUWAVE. These resignations
will be effective upon NUWAVE receiving releases settling trade
payables, unpaid wages, employment agreements, and the release of funds
from the escrow fund. In return for submitting their resignations and
signing releases from their respective employment agreements, Messrs.
Zarin and O'Brien will receive a settlement consisting of cash and
warrants to purchase shares of NUWAVE's common stock at an exercise
price of $1.00 per share.

It is expected to assume such control under the terms of the Agreement and, in particular, in lieu of foreclosing on its Securities Purchase Agreement, which is currently in default. Control is expected to be assumed from NUWAVE's current board of directors, who are expected to resign upon consummation of the Agreement.
