CONSIDERATION AND ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
This Promissory Note is given in consideration and exchange for the Releases in favor of
of NIKOLIC from SCHWARZ, Hayes Nuss and Peter Corsell attached as Exhibit A hereto (the
"Releases") relating to a dispute regarding NIKOLIC's and SCHWARZ's respective interests,
rights and obligations with respect to Biosys Capital Partners, LP (the "Fund") and the Fund's
investment in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in Blue Talon Data Systems, Inc.
and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in Digisight Technologies, Inc. (collectively, the
"Portfolio Companies").
Upon the realization of the Fund's investments in the Portfolio
Companies, subject to and in accordance with the Fund's operative documents, the Fund's
general partner, Biosys Capital Management, LLC (the "GP"), from time to time may receive
from the Fund distributions, in cash or in kind, in respect of the GP's carried interest in the Fund
relating to such investments. In the event such distributions of carried interest are made to the
GP, subject to and in accordance with the operative documents of the GP, NIKOLIC, as a
principal of the GP, from time to time may receive from the GP distributions, in cash or in kind,
of the GP's carried interest distributions from the Fund in respect of the Fund's investments in
the Portfolio Companies. Each such distribution to NIKOLIC from the GP is herein referred to
as a "Carried Interest Distribution".
This Promissory Note is intended to memorialize
NIKOLIC's obligation, in consideration and exchange for the Releases, to pay to SCHWARZ, in
cash or in kind, at NIKOLIC's discretion, 50% of each Carried Interest Distribution NIKOLIC
receives from the GP.
In addition to NIKOLIC's obligations to make Note Payments only if, as and when
provided in this Promissory Note, and as additional consideration for the Releases, NIKOLIC
agrees that (i) NIKOLIC shall pay to SCHWARZ the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000) simultaneously with the receipt by NIKOLIC of the original executed
Releases, and (ii) until the expiration of this Promissory Note as and when provided herein,
NIKOLIC shall refrain from using any name or url containing the term "BIOSYS" in connection
with marketing or operating any investment business in which NIKOLIC may hereafter engage.
PAYMENT.
IF AND ONLY IF, NIKOLIC receives a Carried Interest Distribution from the GP,
within ten (10) business days after NIKOLIC receives such Carried Interest Distribution,
NIKOLIC shall pay SCHWARZ, in cash, or in kind with shares of stock of one or both of the
EFTA00587482
Portfolio Companies, or partly in cash and partly in kind with shares of stock of one or both of
the Portfolio Companies, in such proportions as NIKOLIC shall determine in his sole discretion,
fifty percent (50%) of the fair market value of such Carried Interest Distribution. Each such

extent permitted by applicable law) at all times be equal to ten percent (10%) per annum. The

reserved. Any waiver of any provision hereof must be in writing. No failure on the part of
SCHWARZ to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege under this
Promissory Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
