Re:
NOTICE OF DEFAULT
 
Firepond, Inc. (“Company”)
FP Tech Holdings, LLC (“Noteholder”)

 
Dear Mr. Stelt:
 
This firm has been retained to represent Noteholder and its interests as they relate to, among other things, the following documents (collectively referred to as the “Transaction Documents”):
 
(i)  
Amendment and Exchange Agreement dated April 24, 2008 (“Agreement”);
 
(ii)  
Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Note dated April 24, 2008 (“Note”); and
 
(iii)  
Amended and Restated Collateral Agency and Security Agreement dated April 24, 2008.
 
Please be advised that an “Event of Default,” as defined in Section 4(a) of the Note, has occurred due to, among other things, the Company’s admission that it cannot meet the minimum “Consolidated EBITDA” as set forth in Section (4)(a)(xi) of the Note.

The aforementioned default is not intended to be a complete list of all present and/or possible events of default nor of all actions that constitute breach of the aforementioned Transaction Documents.  Noteholder reserves the right to assert and act in reliance upon, any and all events of breach or default which have heretofore occurred (whether or not continuing), may presently exist and may hereafter occur.  Any past or present failure by the Noteholder to exercise any of its rights, remedies or powers shall not constitute a waiver of the default described above nor of the Noteholder’s right to exercise such rights, remedies or powers at a future date.
 
As a consequence of the aforementioned Event of Default, all amounts due and owing under the Note are immediately due and payable and Noteholder may exercise any and all of its rights and remedies including, without limitation, proceeding to foreclose on its collateral pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
 
Very truly yours,
 
 
 
William P. Wassweiler
