<P style="margin:0; font-size:11pt; text-align: justify">Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company has the right to sell and issue to Seaside restricted shares of the Company&#146;s common stock over a 12-month period commencing on the closing date. &nbsp;Visualant will be entitled to sell shares each month during the following 12 months, subject to certain conditions and limitations. &nbsp;With respect to each subsequent closing, Visualant will not be obligated to sell any of its common stock to Seaside at a price lower than $0.25 per share, and Seaside&#146;s beneficial ownership of the Company&#146;s common stock will not exceed 4.99%.

<P style="margin:0; text-align: justify"><BR></P>

<P style="margin:0; text-align: justify"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0; font-size:11pt; text-align: justify">The Agreement also contains certain representations and warranties of Visualant and Seaside, including customary investment-related representations provided by Seaside, as well as acknowledgements by Seaside that it has reviewed certain disclosures of the Company (including the periodic reports that the Company has filed with the SEC) and that the Company&#146;s issuance of the shares has not been registered with the SEC or qualified under any state securities laws.
