Working on schedule. What time do you get in? 10:30? Please see Bob's note below per our discussion. This is great news. You are welcome to share with the RS team.

Thx, Jeff Jeff Nixon Interactive Capital Partners (w) 203 857-6070 (c) 203 858-8870 Skype: jjnixon800 www.interactivecapital.com From: Bob Graham <bgraham@blackridge.us> Date: Monday, April 14, 2014 5:22 PM To: Jeff Nixon <jjnixon@interactivecapital.com>, Sean Cross <seancrossny@gmail.com>, Scott Tuck <fst79@icloud.com> Cc: John Hayes <jhayes@blackridge.us> Subject: Army EIS We met today with Kevin Caroll. He is the retired head for EIS and works with Bob Lentz, our board member and as an advisor on a number of EIS programs. The goal was to sign him up to assist us on the Army EIS program. He works with the Army team on a weekly basis communicating between the Army and their vendors to assure the relationship moves along successfully. He will be retained by us for the upcoming EIS program. He briefed us on the current status of the EIS next generation program. Here are highlights: 1) EIS has had transferred from DISA $750m for the program to date, with an additional $500m to be transferred in the next several weeks. In this money are the funds for the BlackRidge part of the program. 2) The user license will be procured from gov't price listings, which we have recently added our products for the Army products so we are ready to go. They are still talking about buying a User license and Prepaid warranty so that would bring the price closer to the $30m from the original $22m. Gateways would be bought during the implementation. 3) The contract vehicle is still under discussion. We need this in place by the demonstration. 4) We need to show the 100G demonstration in June. John will be meeting with their contractor NES tomorrow to make sure are in agreement on specs and have the plan in place. 5) Installs will be during 2014 to 2016. They will start with the US and then add Europe and Korea. 6) The Air Force may be tacked onto the program, as apparently the two groups are looking at a joint network. I do know how much of an increase will be added for this addition to the license, but it could be substantial. 7) They are doing the installations with internal staff as opposed to integrators, and will be looking for us to support them with professional services. We will scope this revenue once we understand it. I will meet Kevin again on Thursday to get his agreement in place. We will compare notes on our meetings with NES tomorrow and any additional information Kevin has for us and map out a regular plan to get us through the contracting process. Bob Kevin's bio is below.
