Attention: President
Re: ESAT, Inc. (the "Company")
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement"), of even date hereof, between the Company and the
undersigned (the "Purchasers").
During the one year period following the Effective Date, the
Purchasers additionally commit, subject to and upon the terms and conditions
hereof, to purchase from the Company, and the Company shall sell to the
Purchasers shares of Common Stock (the "Additional Shares") for an aggregate
purchase price of up to $20,000,000 at a price equal to 90% of the five lowest
closing bid prices of the Common Stock (not necessarily consecutive) for the ten
(10) trading days prior to each Additional Financing Notice.
The commitment of the Purchasers set forth in this letter is
subject to the terms, conditions and qualifications set forth below:
1. Additional Documentation. In order to effectuate a purchase
and sale of the Additional Shares, prior to their issuance, the Company and the
Purchasers shall enter into the following agreements: (a) a securities purchase
agreement (the "Additional Purchase Agreement") setting forth the terms and
conditions of the purchase and sale, and (b) a registration rights agreement
identical to the Registration Rights Agreement (the "Additional Registration
Rights Agreement", and together with the Additional Purchase Agreement,
collectively the "Additional Transaction Documents"). The Purchasers shall
prepare the Additional Transaction Documents, which shall be in form mutatis
mutandis to the initial Transaction Documents.
2. The Additional Closing. (i) The Company shall have the right
to deliver one or more written notices to the Purchaser (the "Additional

Notices for a minimum of $2,500,000. An Additional Financing Notice may be

or the prior Additional Financing Notice. The closing of the purchase and sale
of the Additional Securities (the "Additional Closing") shall take place at the

▇▇▇▇▇ on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Additional Financing Notice is

date as otherwise agreed to by the parties hereto; provided, however, that in no
case shall the Additional Closing take place unless and until all of the
conditions listed in Section ___ of this letter and the Additional Purchase
Agreement shall have been satisfied by the Company or waived by the Purchasers.

and shall be paid directly to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Esqs., (z) the fees of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ &

portion of the Additional Purchase Price, in United States dollars in
immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated in writing

5. Execution. This letter may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the
same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by
each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both
parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature
page were an original thereof.
Please indicate your agreement with the foregoing by executing a
countersigned copy of this letter and returning the same to our attention,
whereupon effective immediately thereafter this letter shall become a legally
valid and binding agreement between the Purchasers and the Company.
We look forward to our continuing relationship.
Sincerely,
WENTWORTH LLC
