Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Exchange Agreement
     On December 11, 2006, ViewCast.com, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company, Osprey Technologies, Inc. (“Osprey”), Videoware, Inc. (“Videoware”) and Ardinger Family Partnership, Ltd. (“Ardinger” and collectively with the Company, Osprey and Videoware, the “Parties”). Horace T. Ardinger, who until October 17, 2006 was the Chairman of the Board of the Company and is the largest beneficial owner of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) is a general partner of Ardinger. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Parties agreed that in connection with amending the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and among the Parties, dated October 15, 2003 (the “Loan Agreement”) and converting $9,259,582 of debt, (i) the Parties would enter into the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”); (ii) the Company would issue Ardinger an aggregate of 80,000 shares of Series E Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”); (iii) the Company would issue Ardinger $1,259,582 worth of Common Stock of the Company with the exact number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to be determined by dividing $1,259,582 by the lesser of (a) the average closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board during the five (5) trading days ending on the date immediately prior to the closing or (b) the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on the last trading day prior to the closing (such exact number of shares being the “Exchange Shares”); and (iv) the Company would issue Ardinger a seven year warrant to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $0.48 per share which was equal to 110% of the average closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board during the five (5) trading days ending on the date immediately prior to the closing (the “Warrant”). The Exchange Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement
     As previously mentioned in connection with entering into the Exchange Agreement, on December 11, 2006, the Parties also entered into the Amended Loan Agreement. Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Parties amended and restated the Loan Agreement. On December 11, 2006, $10,509,582.25 of principal was owed to Ardinger. As a result of the conversion of $9,259,582 owed under the Loan Agreement into Series E Preferred Stock, the Exchange Shares and the Warrant issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company, Osprey, and Videoware (collectively, the “Borrower”) owe Ardinger $1,250,000.25 of remaining principal from the Loan Agreement (the “Remaining Principal”) and $3,891,360.53 of accrued and unpaid interest from the Loan Agreement (the “Unpaid Interest”). Within sixty (60) days after each December 31, beginning on December 31, 2006, the Borrower shall pay a portion of the Remaining Principal equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined below) earned from the preceding January 1 through December 31. Within three (3) business days of the Borrower receiving the net proceeds of any asset sale of at least five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) that is not in the ordinary course of business, the Borrower shall pay a portion of the Remaining Principal equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the net cash proceeds from such sale. The Borrower shall pay interest monthly on the unpaid Remaining Principal at a rate equal to the prime rate plus one percent (1%) with the maximum rate until December 31, 2007 being nine and a half percent (9.5%). The current interest rate on the Remaining Principal is 9.25%. The Borrower shall pay interest at the maturity date on the Unpaid Interest at a fluctuating rate equal to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Applicable Federal Rate. The current interest rate on the Unpaid Interest is 4.73%. The maturity date is December 31, 2009, subject to certain exceptions. On the maturity date, the Borrower shall repay all outstanding Remaining Principal and Unpaid Interest and all accrued unpaid interest thereon. Absent approval from Ardinger, the Loan Agreement prohibits the Borrower from certain actions, including, but not limited to (i) entering any lien, subject to certain exceptions; (ii) incurring indebtedness in excess of $250,000, subject to certain exceptions; (iii) granting any dividends on any equity interest of Borrower; (iv) liquidating, merging, or consolidating with or into any entity; or (v)

making capital expenditures in excess of $100,000. The Borrower ratified and confirmed existing liens previously granted to Ardinger and granted to Ardinger a first priority lien and security interest in and to all of the collateral granted under the Loan Agreement. “Excess Cash Flow” means an amount equal to (i) consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization minus (ii) consolidated capital expenditures minus (iii) debt payments minus (iv) tax payments minus (v) consolidated negative working capital minus (vi) a capital reserve for scheduled payments due and budgeted operations, and capital expenditures for the subsequent fiscal year period in excess of any consolidated positive net working capital from the end of such period, and plus (vii) distributions received by Borrower from any other wholly owned subsidiaries. The Amended Loan Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of the Company
     As previously mentioned in connection with entering into the Exchange Agreement, on December 11, 2006, the Company also entered into the Warrant with Ardinger. Under the Warrant, Ardinger is entitled to purchase from the Company up to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand (2,500,000) shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.48 per share which is 110% of the average closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board during the five (5) trading days ending on the date immediately prior to the closing. This Warrant is exercisable until December 11, 2013. The Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
Registration Rights Agreement
     In connection with entering into the Exchange Agreement, on December 11, 2006, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated December 11, 2006 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Ardinger. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that any time after January 1, 2008, the holders of at least the lesser of (a) 10,000,000 shares of the Registrable Securities (as defined below) or (b) Registrable Securities with a market value of $10,000,000 shall have the right to make a demand to the Company that it register for resale the number of Registrable Securities set forth in the demand. Upon receiving a demand, each other holder has the right to include in the registration any of such other holder’s Registrable Securities. The Company shall file a registration statement covering such Registrable Securities within sixty (60) days following the demand. In addition, the holders have the right to include the Registered Securities on any other registration statement filed by the Company, subject to certain exceptions.
     “Registrable Securities” means the shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, the shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon exercise of the Warrant and the Exchange Shares. The Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
     The Series E Preferred Stock, the Exchange Shares and the Warrants referenced herein are not registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This notice shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state.

Item 3.02   Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities
     As noted in Item 1.01 “Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement — Exchange Agreement”, on December 11, 2006, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement with Osprey, Videoware, and Ardinger pursuant to which the Company issued Ardinger: (i) an aggregate of 80,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock; (ii) 2,862,687 shares of Common Stock; and (iii) a seven year warrant to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $0.48 per share. The purchase price of the 80,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock was $100 per share for an aggregate of $8,000,000.00 which was part of the conversion price paid by Ardinger which reduced the amount owed under the Loan Agreement. Currently, the Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the $0.60 per share conversion price (currently $0.51 per share). See “Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year — Series E Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock” regarding further changes in the conversion price. The purchase price for the Exchange Shares was $1,259,582 ($0.44 per share) which was part of the conversion price paid by Ardinger which reduced the amount owed under the Loan Agreement. The Warrant was given in connection with the conversion by Ardinger of a portion of the amount owed under the Loan Agreement.
     The offer and sale of Series E Preferred Stock, the Exchange Shares and the Warrant were made pursuant to Rule 506 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, since Ardinger is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 3.03   Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
     See Item 5.03 “Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year — Series E Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations” regarding limitations on the Common Stock imposed by the Certificate of Designations of the Series E Preferred Stock.
     See Item 1.01 “Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement — Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement” regarding the restrictions on the Company pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement that affect the Common Stock.
     See Item 1.01 “Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement — Registration Rights Agreement.”
Item 5.01   Changes in Control of Registrant
     As noted in Item 1.01 “Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement — Exchange Agreement” and Item 3.02 “Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities,” on December 11, 2006, the Company issued to Ardinger (i) an aggregate of 80,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, (ii) 2,862,687 shares of Common Stock and (iii) a seven year warrant to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $0.48 per share. Until October 17, 2006, Horace T. Ardinger, a general partner of Ardinger, was the Chairman of the Board of the Company. Prior to December 11, 2006, Horace T. Ardinger was the largest shareholder and beneficial owner of the Company, beneficially owning approximately 24.7 % of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. As a result of the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock, the Common Stock and the Warrant, Horace T. Ardinger currently beneficially owns approximately 56.81 % of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock
     Ardinger acquired the Series E Preferred Stock, the Common Stock and the Warrant in connection with converting $9,259,582 owed under the Loan Agreement.
     In connection with Horace T. Ardinger’s increased beneficial ownership, there have been no changes in the officers and directors of the Company. The Company is not aware of any arrangements with respect to the election of directors or other matters.
