Re:           Letter of Intent

Dear Sirs:

The following represents a summary of the terms of our proposal regarding certain Equity Investments by Visualant, Inc. (“Visualant” or “Company”) of the stock (on a fully-diluted basis) of Javelin LLC (“Javelin”), a Washington limited liability corporation and certain licensing matters.  This Letter of Intent ("Letter of Intent") sets forth the agreement of the parties to proceed promptly and in good faith to complete the terms of, and to execute, deliver and perform a Definitive Agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”).

This Letter of Intent shall expire on March 31, 2012 or until the parties enter into the Definitive Agreement, whichever occurs first, with an outside anticipated closing date of the transaction no later than thirty (30) days from the date the Definitive Agreement is executed by all parties or such other date for closing as is set forth in said Agreement.  Upon written request to Javelin, Visualant shall be entitled to a 30-day extension of the expiration date of this Letter of Intent should any extension be necessary due to delays in completing the due diligence review pursuant to Section 5 below or in satisfying any of the conditions precedent in Section 4.

The transaction will be structured as follows:

Equity Investment for Common Stock and First Right

 
1.           Equity Investment of Stock and First Right.  Visualant will acquire from Javelin and/or its shareholders (collectively, the “Seller”) ten percent (10%), on a fully-diluted basis, of all of the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of stock (the “Shares”) of Javelin (the “Equity Investment”). In addition, Visualant shall obtain an acquisition right of first negotiation agreement with Seller for the duration of the now existing license agreement
 
2.           Consideration.  As consideration for the Shares, Visualant will pay Seller a total of 860,000 shares of restricted Visualant Common Stock The foregoing consideration shall be structured in the definitive agreement to provide favorable tax consequences for both parties.  A portion of the total consideration may be allocated to the first right set forth above.

 
 

 

 
Conditional Equity Investment for Cash
 
3.           Conditional Equity Investment for Cash.  Visualant may invest, at its option, between $100,000 and $120,000 in Javelin for 10% to 12% of Javelin's fully diluted units.  This investment is conditioned upon an Equity Investment in Visualant by a strategic or financial investor which investment shall be at least $3 Million.
 
Conditional Licensing Terms
 
4.           Conditional Licensing Terms.  Javelin, in consideration of the equity investments set forth above, will enter into licensing agreements with strategic or financial investors and/or Visualant KK in a form identical to the licensing agreements entered into by Visualant with these same entities.
 
5.           Consideration.  Javelin shall receive consideration for its licenses in the form of royalties which is equivalent to the consideration received by Visualant.  In the event there is cash consideration in the form of upfront royalty payments, Javelin shall receive an amount equal to 5% of the royalties received by Visualant.
