      The Initial Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock based on the

      interest through, the conversion dated divided by the conversion price. The
      conversion price will be equal to the greater of (i) the current market price

      bid

      day immediately following the effective date of the Form S-1 or such other
      registration statement as may be filed by the Company with the SEC covering

      into the Conversion Shares until after the later to occur of (i) August 23,

      or (ii) the end of the Pricing Period. Exemption from registration under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;Securities Act&#8221;), was based upon the

Item
      1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
      June
      9, 2006, Ronco Corporation (the "Company") entered to a Letter Loan Agreement
      (the "Loan Agreement") with the Lenders (the "Lenders") identified on Schedule 1
      thereto, a Security Agreement in favor of Sanders Morris Harris Inc. ("SMH"),
      individually and as agent for the Lenders (the "Security Agreement"), an
      Assignment of Life Insurance Policy in favor of SMH, individually and as agent
      for the Lenders (the "Assignment") and the Company issued a Subordinated
      Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 to SMH (the "Initial Note"
and collectively with the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement and the
      Assignment, the "Loan Documents"). As of June 9, 2006, A. Emerson Martin, II and
      Gregg A. Mockenhaupt were members of the Company's Board of Directors and
      managing directors of SMH.
Pursuant
      to the Loan Documents, SMH loaned the Company $1,500,000 on June 9, 2006 (the
      "Initial Loan"), and SMH agreed to loan the Company an additional $1,500,000
      (the "Second Loan") subject to certain closing conditions, including the mailing
      of an offer to each of the holders of the Company's Series A Convertible
      Preferred Stock to the extent of their pro rata share of the Company's
      outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to participate in
      the
      Third Loan (as defined below) (the "Rights Offering") and the Company's closing
      on a credit agreement (the "Senior Credit Agreement") for a facility of not less
      than $15 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company
      will
      hold an additional closing by no later than August 23, 2006, where it may borrow
      up to an additional $3,000,000 from the holders of the Company's Series A
      Convertible Preferred Stock who choose to participate in the Rights Offering
      (the "Third Loan" and collectively with the Initial Loan and Second Loan, the
"Loans"). In the event that the aggregate amount of the Loans exceeds
      $3,000,000.00 (the "Excess"), then the Company will prepay its obligations under
      the Initial Loan and the Second Loan to the extent of the Excess.
The
      Loans
      bear interest at a rate of 4.77% per annum. Interest will be due and payable
      on
      the first and second anniversary of the issuance of the notes evidencing the
      Loans (the "Notes") and at the maturity date. The outstanding principal and all
      accrued and unpaid interest under the Notes is due and payable three years
      from
      the date of issuance; provided, however, that outstanding principal and all
      accrued and unpaid interest will also be due upon the refinancing of the Senior
      Credit Agreement. The Notes are subordinate to the Senior Credit Agreement.
      The
      Loans are secured by a Life Insurance Policy issued by John Hancock Life
      Insurance on the life of Ronald M. Popeil in the face amount of $15,000,000
      (the
"Life Insurance Policy"). The Company, subject to certain conditions and
      limitations, also assigned the Life Insurance Policy to the Lenders pursuant
      to
      the Assignment.
The
      Notes
      are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.00001
      per share (the "Common Stock"), based on the principal amount outstanding on the
      applicable Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest through, the conversion dated
      divided by the conversion price. The conversion price will be equal to the
      greater of (i) the current market price per share of Common Stock (based,
      generally, on the average of the highest bid and lowest ask prices on such
      day
      for 40 consecutive trading days (the "Pricing Period") commencing on the first
      trading day immediately following the effective date of the Company's
      Registration Statement on Form S-1 originally filed on Form SB-2 on July 29,
      2005 (the "Form S-1") or such other registration statement as may be filed by
      the Company with the SEC covering the Conversion Shares (as defined below),
      or
      (ii) $1.00 per share. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts
      to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes
      (the "Conversion Shares") on the Form S-1 or in the alternative file a new
      registration statement to cover the resale of the Conversion Shares. The Notes
      cannot be converted into the Conversion Shares until after the later to occur
      of
      (i) August 23, 2006 or (ii) the end of the Pricing Period.

Item
      2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
      Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
As
      discussed under Item 1.01, the Company entered into the Loan Documents and
      issued the Initial Note to SMH in exchange for a loan of $1,500,000 on June
      9,
      2006. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and subject to the payment
      of
      the Excess, the Company may issue Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
      $6,000,000. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.77% per annum (the "Note
      Rate"). Interest will be due and payable on the first and second anniversary of
      the issuance of the applicable Note and at the maturity date of such Note.
      The
      outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest under each Note will
      be due and payable three years from the date of issuance; provided, however,
      that outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest will also be
      due
      upon the refinancing of the Senior Credit Agreement.
Upon
      the
      occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement, and without notice
      or demand, all amounts owed under the Notes, including all accrued but unpaid
      interest, shall thereafter bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum above
      the
      Note Rate (the "Default Rate") until all events of default are
      cured.
If
      an
      event of default occurs and is continuing, then Required Lenders (as defined
      below), or SMH at the direction of Required Lenders, may, among other things,
      declare the principal of, and all interest then accrued on, the Notes and any
      other liabilities of the Company owed to Lenders to be forthwith due and
      payable. In addition, upon an event of default, the Lenders may exercise certain
      rights with respect to the Insurance Policy. "Required Lenders" means (a) SMH
      and (b) Lenders whose aggregate principal balance of Notes exceeds 66-2/3%
      of
      the aggregate principal amount of all Notes.
Item
      3.02. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.
As
      described further under Item 1.01 above, on June 9, 2006, the Company sold
      an
      Initial Note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 to Sanders Morris Harris
      Inc.
      The Initial Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock based on the
      principal amount outstanding on the Initial Note, plus accrued and unpaid
      interest through, the conversion dated divided by the conversion price. The
      conversion price will be equal to the greater of (i) the current market price
      per share of Common Stock (based, generally, on the average of the highest
      bid
      and lowest ask prices during the Pricing Period commencing on the first trading
      day immediately following the effective date of the Form S-1 or such other
      registration statement as may be filed by the Company with the SEC covering
      the
      Conversion Shares, or (ii) $1.00 per share. The Initial Note cannot be converted
      into the Conversion Shares until after the later to occur of (i) August 23,
      2006
      or (ii) the end of the Pricing Period. Exemption from registration under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), was based upon the
      grounds that the issuance of securities did not involve a public offering within
      the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Item
      5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
      Appointment of Principal Officers.
On
      June
      9, 2006, Gregg A. Mockenhaupt and A. Emerson Martin, II resigned from the
      Company's Board of Directors.
On
      June
      9, 2006, John S. Reiland was appointed to the Company's Board of Directors
      pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement described above. Subject to the
      Board of Directors final confirmation of Mr. Reiland's compliance with all of
      the independence and knowledge requirements imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
      of
      2002, the Nasdaq Stock Market, and the other rules and regulations promulgated
      by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Board of Directors appointed
      Mr.
      Reiland to serve on its audit committee.
Mr.
      Reiland was retained as a Senior Financial Analyst of SMH in March 2006 to
      work
      on certain assigned projects for SMH including the Company. SMH is a party
      to
      the Loan Documents and the transactions described under Item 1.01 and Item
      2.03
      described above.
