Nexxus Lighting, Inc. (the “Company”) announced on April 30, 2007 the appointment of John Oakley as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective June 4, 2007.

Mr. Oakley, age 39, has served as chief financial officer and director of Home Meridian International, a multi-divisional, furniture industry holding company, since September 2006. Previously, he served as the senior vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer of Pulaski Furniture Corporation, a subsidiary of Home Meridian International. He joined the furniture manufacturer and importer as vice president and treasurer in 2001. Prior to joining Pulaski Furniture, Mr. Oakley was corporate controller for Collins and Aikman Floorcoverings, Inc. from 1997 to 2001, and a senior auditor for Arthur Andersen, LLP from 1992 to 1997.

Pursuant to the offer letter from the Company to Mr. Oakley, Mr. Oakley shall receive a base salary of $155,000.00 per annum and performance bonus compensation of up to 50% of his base salary. The actual performance bonus payment is based upon the Company’s achievement of certain financial and performance objectives.

In addition, the Board of Directors has approved the grant of the following incentive stock options to Mr. Oakley on the date Mr. Oakley commences employment with the Company: (i) options to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of such stock on the date of grant, vesting in equal installments over three years beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject in all instances to Mr. Oakley’s continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting dates; and (ii) options to purchase 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of such stock on the date of grant. Subject to Mr. Oakley’s continued employment with the Company on the vesting date, the options to purchase 30,000 shares will vest on March 31, 2008, provided that the Company achieves the specified net profit target for 2007. If the financial milestone is not achieved by the Company, a percentage of the option to purchase 30,000 shares may vest, based on the portion of the milestone that is achieved. The offer letter also provides that as part of the Company’s executive management team, Mr. Oakley will be eligible for future stock option grants based on performance.

Mr. Oakley’s employment with the Company is for an unspecified term. In the event of termination of Mr. Oakley’s employment by the Company for any reason other than “cause” (as defined in the offer letter), Mr. Oakley shall receive three months base salary, unpaid reimbursable expenses and accrued and unused benefits. The offer letter also provides for the execution by Mr. Oakley of confidentiality and non-competition agreements with the Company.
