Ladies and Gentlemen:

In consideration of the agreement of the Spirit Lake Tribe (the “Purchaser”) to purchase the $2,000,000 10% fixed rate Convertible Debentures due 2009 as provided for herein, the undersigned WIRELESS RONIN® TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), hereby agrees with the Purchaser as follows:

1. Authorization of Securities. The Company proposes to authorize, issue and sell an aggregate of $2,000,000 principal amount of its convertible debentures, to be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Form of Debenture”). The term Debenture as used herein shall mean the Convertible Debenture attached hereto as Exhibit A and all of the rights to convert the Debenture.

The Convertible Debenture is convertible into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company in whole or in part at any time prior to its payment at the option of the Holder on the terms set forth in the Debenture.

The Convertible Debenture is convertible in whole at any time prior to its payment at the option of the Purchaser into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company constituting twenty percent (20%) of all classes of the Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, as further explained in paragraph 3(b) of the Convertible Debenture. In addition, as further explained in paragraph 3(b) of the Convertible Debenture, the Convertible Debenture is convertible in part at any time prior to its payment at the option of the Purchaser into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company constituting a proportionate percentage of twenty percent (20%) of all classes of the Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis in the ratio that the amount of the Convertible Debenture being converted bears to the total amount of the Convertible Debenture acquired by the Purchaser. Under no circumstances shall paragraph 3(b) of the Convertible Debenture be read to entitle the Purchaser to shares of Common Stock of the Company constituting less than 20% of all classes

of the Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis upon conversion in full of the Convertible Debenture.

2. Sale and Purchase of Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, the Convertible Debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000.

3. Closing. The closing of the sale to, and purchase by, the Purchaser of the Debenture (the “Closing’) shall occur at the offices of the Xxxxxxxx Group, Inc. at the hour of P.M., Central Standard Time, on January 5, 2005 or on such other day or at such other time or place as the Purchaser and the Company shall agree upon (the “Closing Date”).

At the Closing, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser the Debenture being purchased by the Purchaser, registered in its name, against delivery to the Company of its funds in the amount of $2,000,000 in payment of the total purchase price of the Debenture being purchased by the Purchaser.

4. Restriction on Transfer of Securities.

4.1 Restrictions. The Debenture is transferable only pursuant to (a) a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (b) Rule 144 (or any similar rule then in effect) adopted under the Securities Act, if such rule is available, and (c) subject to the conditions elsewhere specified in this Section 4, any other legally available means of transfer.

4.2 (a) Legend. The Debenture shall be endorsed with the following legend:

THIS CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, SATISFACTORY TO PAYOR, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.

Upon the conversion of the Debenture, unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel from the holder of such a security satisfactory to the Company to the effect that a sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or distribution of the Conversion Stock issuable upon such conversion may be made without registration, or unless such Conversion Stock is being disposed of pursuant to registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state act, the same legend shall be endorsed on the certificate evidencing such Conversion Stock.

The aforesaid legend shall be removed with respect to securities held for at least three years (including, with respect to the Conversion Stock, the period during which the related converted Debenture had been held) by a person who has not been an affiliate of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) during the three months preceding the request

for removal of such legend. The foregoing legend removal requirement is based on Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act as currently in force, and assumes that such Rule (or a successor thereto) in substantially its current form shall be in effect at the time of any such request for legend removal.

(b) Stop Transfer Order. A stop transfer order shall be placed with the Company’s transfer agent preventing transfer of any of the securities referred to in paragraph (a) above pending compliance with the conditions set forth in any such legend (except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a) above).

4.3 Removal of Legend. Any legend endorsed on a certificate or instrument evidencing a security pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof shall be removed, and the Company shall issue a certificate or instrument without such legend to the holder of such security, (a) in accordance with Section 4.2(a) hereof, (b) if such security is being disposed of pursuant to registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state acts or pursuant to Rule 144 or any similar rule then in effect, or (c) if such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that a sale, transfer, assignment, offer, pledge or distribution for value of such security may be made without registration and that such legend is not required to satisfy the applicable exemption from registration.

4.4 Register of Securities. The Company or its duly appointed agent shall maintain a separate register for the Debenture in which it shall register the issuance and transfer of the Debenture. All transfers of the Debenture shall be recorded on the register maintained by the Company or its agent, and the Company shall be entitled to regard the registered holder of such securities as the actual owner of the securities so registered until the Company or its agent is required to record a transfer of such securities on its register. The Company or its agent shall be required to record any such transfer when it receives (a) the security to be transferred duly and properly endorsed by the registered holder thereof or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, and (b) the opinion of counsel referred to in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 hereof or evidence of compliance with the registration provisions referred to in those Sections.
