<p align="left" style="clear:both;"><font style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times New Roman;text-align:left;">    On July 2, 2010, XELR8 Holdings, Inc., (the "Company", "we", or "us") completed the final closing of a secured convertible note financing ("Note Financing"). At the closing, we issued $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible promissory notes (the "Secured Notes") to a limited number of accredited investors (the "Lenders").  Net proceeds to the Company after the deduction of selling commissions, but before expenses of the Note Financing, were approximately $435,000.<br><br>
    The Secured Notes are due July 2, 2015 and accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year.  Interest is payable, at the option of holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Secured Notes, in either cash or additional Secured Notes.  At any given time (prior to the maturity date) the Lenders may elect to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), at a conversion price of $0.15 per share, subject to certain adjustments.<br><br>
    We have the option, after effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined below), to repay all outstanding principal and interest under the Secured Notes if the volume weighted average price of our shares of Common Stock has exceeded $1.00 for the preceding 30 consecutive trading days.<br><br>
    The Secured Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and our subsidiaries pursuant to a Security Agreement, and Trademark Collateral Assignment and Security Agreements.  All obligations under the Secured Notes are guaranteed by VitaCube Systems, Inc., and XELR8, Inc., the Company's principal subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries") pursuant to Guarantees by each of the Subsidiaries in favor of the Lenders.<br><br>
    The Company intends to use the proceeds from the issuance of the Secured Note to implement the Company's marketing strategy, for operating expenses and for general corporate purposes.  <br><br>
    The Company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Lenders under which it has agreed to file a resale registration statement (the "Registration Statement") registering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Secured Notes within sixty (60) days from the final closing of the Offering.  The Company will use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of filing the Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.<br><br>
    In connection with the initial closing of the issuance of secured convertible notes on March 5, 2010, we entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with the placement agent involved in the offering (the "Placement Agent").  The Placement Agent agreed to act on a best efforts basis with respect to the sale of Secured Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,000,000 (with an over-allotment option of up to $1,000,000).  Under the Placement Agency Agreement, the Placement Agent receives a placement fee equal to 10% of the gross proceeds of the Secured Notes sold by the Placement Agent and a non-accountable expense allowance of 3% of the gross proceeds of the Note Financing.  <br><br>
      As a result of the consummation of the $500,000 Note Financing, we issued 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock to the Placement Agent ("Placement Shares").  <br><br>
    Neither the Secured Notes, the Placement Shares, nor the securities underlying the Secured Notes, have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent the registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The transactions contemplated hereby are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Regulation D and/or Section 4(2).<br><br></font></p>

On July 2, 2010, XELR8 Holdings, Inc., (the "Company", "we", or "us") completed the final closing of a secured convertible note financing ("Note Financing"). At the closing, we issued $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible promissory notes (the "Secured Notes") to a limited number of accredited investors (the "Lenders").
