DRAFT

Dear Rancher Energy Shareholder:

         We are the group of concerned shareholders,  NSSVVO, referred to in the
Rancher Energy proxy that you might have received. We organized ourselves in the
last 45 days,  being very displeased with the current Board of Rancher.  We have
requested an annual  shareholders'  meeting to address our concerns and to allow
us to present our own candidates for  directors.  As a result,  we received your
name and address through Rancher.  We have filed the attached Proxy Solicitation
with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  and we ask  that you read and
consider it carefully,  as opposed to the Company's Proxy, which you should also
receive.  We need your votes for our director candidates and ask you to vote for
us on the YELLOW  PROXY.  We  disagree  with the  direction  of the  Company and
believe the current Board is unable to preserve value for the  shareholders.  As
you know, the share price has fallen from over $3.00 to $0.02 per share.

         Two years ago, shareholders invested $84 million in Rancher and its CO2
project. All our expectations were that development would soon start. We believe
Rancher  potentially  could  recover  a lot  of  oil,  but  sadly,  the  current
management has not been able to increase oil production. At the same time, money
has been spent on high  management  salaries,  director  compensation,  and high
office  expenses.  Additionally,  the  current  management  and Board lost major
opportunities to attract senior debt or capital and entered into some burdensome
contracts with the company at risk of failure.

         If the NSSVVO candidates are elected, we plan to cut staff, Board fees,
and office  expenses  first.  Next,  we intend to try to increase  production to
further  help  Rancher's  cash  flow.  At the same  time,  we  intend  to try to
renegotiate some of the burdensome contracts which current management has put in
place. If we are able to remove some of the contractual  problems, we believe we
can raise the money to pay off the current short term debt.

         This is not a quick and easy task. We believe Rancher is close to total
failure, and there is no guarantee we can succeed. We believe new faces with new
ideas can succeed in turning things around. This is a long term project,  but we
believe the oil is there. If we are able to turn the current problems around, we
can again focus on bringing  the CO2 to the  property  and reach for  production
goals.

         We need your  support to elect the NSSVVO  candidates  as  directors as
opposed to retaining the current directors and management.

         Two  things  need  to be done  to  support  the  NSSVVO  candidates  as
directors:

         1.  Carefully VOTE upon  and RETURN  the YELLOW  PROXY in  the enclosed
envelope.

         2. Immediately,  notify your broker, in writing,  that you are going to
vote your own shares by written proxy and ask for written confirmation from him.

         If  you  have  any   questions,   please   e-mail  Jon   Nicolaysen  at
jnic.rancher@gmail.com.

         We believe we will win with your support.

                           Thank you for your support.
                                  Yours truly,

                       2009 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                                       OF
                              RANCHER ENERGY CORP.

                                  (PRELIMINARY)
                                 PROXY STATEMENT
                                       OF
         NICOLAYSEN, STYTSENKO, SOLTAN, VASKEVICH, VAN HOUWENINGE, A.L.
                            "SID" OVERTON ("NSSVVO")

THIS  SOLICITATION  IS BEING  MADE BY  NSSVVO  AND NOT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY.

Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials via Internet

NSSVVO has made available the Proxy materials at www.NSSVVOGroup.com. Interested
parties may download the materials from that website.

1. General Information

All NSSVVO group members constitute  shareholders of Rancher Energy Corp. or are
business acquaintances of shareholders of Rancher, who are dissatisfied with the
direction,  progress,  and financial  position of the Company and believe that a
Board of Directors change and management  change may be in the best interests of
the shareholders of the Company.

NSSVVO made this  solicitation,  because it believes the Company could be better
managed,  in NSSVVO's  opinion.  Additionally,  NSSVVO is highly  concerned that
during the three year tenure of the current directors and management,  the share
price has fallen from over $3.00 per share to under $0.02 per share.

NSSVVO believes the directors and management are taking  excessive  compensation
in cash and stock from a Company that is in a dire financial situation,  and the
Company continues to lease offices which are expensive considering the financial
position of the Company.

NSSVVO  believes the existing Board of Directors and management  have negotiated
contracts  with  burdensome  terms with Anadarko  Petroleum and Gas Rock Capital
which impair the Company and jeopardize its survival at this time.

The NSSVVO  opposition  slate of directors is  determined to replace the CEO and
possibly all of the top management. The NSSVVO new directors would intend to cut
other  expenses such as office  expense and to not pay the directors  other than
expense  reimbursement for some time and to pay the new CEO  significantly  less
than the current amount being paid.


                                        3






NSSVVO believes that the current  management has lost  credibility with industry
partners and potential capital sources, because it has been unable to perform on
its contractual obligations with Anadarko Petroleum,  has been unable to get the
tertiary  recovery  process in the oil field underway,  has been unable to raise
any further  equity capital since 2007, and has continued a pattern of operating
losses  without  increasing  revenues,  which makes capital  sources,  who might
otherwise be interested in funding,  unwilling to trust current management to be
able to turn around the  performance  of the  Company.  NSSVVO  candidates  have
talked to capital  sources and have received such  expressions of disinterest in
funding under the current  financial and management  situation.  NSSVVO believes
that new faces at the negotiating table can achieve solutions and NSSVVO intends
to  aggressively  seek new capital.  Finally,  if NSSVVO can resolve some of the
business  issues  created  by current  management,  which  includes a  defaulted
contract to acquire CO2 from Anadarko  Petroleum,  NSSVVO  believes it can raise
the  money to pay off the  short  term  debt  from  capital  sources,  which are
currently unwilling to risk any new capital without certain debt and contractual
liability  issues being resolved.  NSSVO  candidates would intend to negotiate a
settlement of the Anadarko contract and to achieve a new capital infusion to pay
off the Gas  Rock  Capital  loan,  which is due in the  near  term and  which is
secured by the Company's oil field assets. Of course, there is no assurance that
NSSVVO candidates will be successful in any of these efforts if elected as Board
members.


Background of Contact with Rancher by NSSVVO Group


Jon Nicolaysen of the NSSVVO group requested and was given a shareholder list on
February  11,  2009.  On May  5,  2009,  Jon  Nicolaysen  sent a fax to  Rancher
requesting a shareholders meeting. Rancher sent back an e-mail acknowledging the
request. On May 6, 2009, Rancher sent an informal  acknowledgment of the request
in which it agreed to discuss  holding a shareholders  meeting at the next Board
of Directors meeting.


On May 8, 2009,  Rancher  contacted  Jon  Nicolaysen  by e-mail and  suggested a
meeting between the Rancher Board and a  representative  of the NSSVVO group. On
May 12, 2009,  Rancher notified  Nicolaysen that Mark Worthey would be the Board
contact.  On May 12, 2009,  Jon  Nicolaysen  e-mailed  John Works  (president of
Rancher)  and  requested  a  discussion  with the  Rancher  Board and  requested
information about the renewal of the Gas Rock Capital loan.


On May 13, 2009, Mark Worthey,  representing Rancher, and Jon Nicolaysen, of the
NSSVVO group talked about holding a shareholders  meeting,  changing management,
and wanting to have new directors  nominated by  shareholders.  On May 15, 2009,
Nicolaysen  faxed a second  request  for a  shareholders  meeting to Rancher and
asking for a shareholder meeting to be held to vote upon shareholder nominees to
the Board. On May 21, 2009, Rancher's attorneys, a current Rancher Board member,
Mr. Worthey, Nicolaysen, and NSSVVO's attorneys had a conference call. A request
for a combined proxy for the shareholders meeting was made by NSSVVO,  including
Rancher nominees and shareholder


                                        4





nominees. Rancher said the Board would discuss and respond. A discussion was had
about  whether the meeting  would be an annual  meeting or a special  meeting of
shareholders, about a record date, and about a future contact date.


On May 26, 2009, an e-mail was sent to a Rancher Board member,  Mark Worthey, by
Nicolaysen,  asking  for status of  response.  The  e-mail  addressed  Rancher's
attorney's  cooperation on shareholder voting issues. It also discussed possible
litigation  if  fair  treatment  was  not  given  to  dissatisfied  shareholders
regarding vote tabulation,  and shareholder  lists,  again requesting a combined
proxy.  On May 27, a Rancher  Board  member sent an e-mail to schedule a call to
discuss matters.


On May 27, Mark Worthey, a Rancher Board member,  and Jon Nicolaysen  discussed,
by  telephone,  shareholder  meeting  issues and the  possibility  of a combined
proxy.  The call  ended  with both  parties  agreeing  to be helpful if and when
problems arose in future discussions.

On  May  28,  2009,  Rancher's  attorneys,   a  Rancher  Board  member,  Worthy,
Nicolaysen,  and the NSSVVO attorney held a conference  call. They discussed the
holding of a shareholders  meeting,  voting,  and the proxy. A tentative  record
date of May 31, 2009 and a tentative  shareholders meeting date of July 24, 2009
were discussed. Nicolaysen, again, requested a combined proxy slate.


On June 1, 2009,  Nicolaysen  requested,  in person, from Rancher a shareholders
list. On June 2, 2009,  NSSVVO's attorney sent an e-mail to Rancher's  attorneys
regarding a combined slate on the proxy. On June 3, 2009, an e-mail and a letter
from Rancher's  attorneys to NSSVVO's  attorney  denying a combined slate on the
proxy, was received.

From May 10 to June 14,  2009,  Nicolaysen  recruited  five of the NSSVVO  Board
candidates  by telephone  calls to each.  The sixth  candidate  was contacted by
phone on or about June 16, 2009.


On June 5, 2009,  Rancher's attorney e-mailed NSSVVO's attorney firming up plans
for the shareholders  meeting with the date,  time,  place, and record date. The
condition  for  obtaining  the  voter  and NOBO  lists  from  Rancher  was in an
Affidavit as to the use and confidentiality  signed by Nicolaysen  regarding the
shareholder and NOBO lists.

Rancher,  through its Board,  determined that it would not accept or support any
of the candidates proposed by shareholders,  nor would it list them in its Proxy
Statement for the next Annual Meeting.  Accordingly,  Mr.  Nicolaysen and others
listed herein determined to propose an alternative slate of director  candidates
to stand for election  pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934.


                                        5






Reason for this Proxy
- ---------------------

In June 2009,  the Board of Directors of Rancher  Energy Corp.  (the  "Rancher")
rejected  a  proposal  by  NSSVVO to be listed as  candidates  for  election  as
directors in the Company's Proxy Statement.  NSSVVO is therefore seeking proxies
from  Rancher  shareholders  to vote to install six new  directors  nominated by
NSSVVO.


The Annual  Meeting will be held at the principal  office of Patton  Boggs,  LLP
which is located at 1801 California Street,  Suite 4900, Denver,  Colorado 80202
in late July 2009.  We intend to ensure that  shareholders  are  notified of the
date of the Annual Meeting promptly after the date is set by the Company.

NSSVVO  IS  SOLICITING  YOUR  PROXY  TO  VOTE  AT  THE  ANNUAL  MEETING  OF  THE
SHAREHOLDERS,  AT WHICH NSSVVO WILL VOTE YOUR PROXY IN FAVOR OF, THE ELECTION OF
SIX  NSSVVO  CANDIDATES  TO FILL SIX BOARD  POSITIONS  (JON  NICOLAYSEN,  ANDREI
STYTSENKO,  SILVIA SOLTAN, VLADIMIR VASKEVICH,  MATHIJS VAN HOUWENINGE, and A.L.
"SID"  OVERTON).  IF HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF THE SHARES OF COMMON  STOCK OF THE
COMPANY SUBMIT PROXIES IN FAVOR OF THESE  CANDIDATES AT THE ANNUAL MEETING,  THE
NSSVVO CANDIDATES WILL BE ELECTED AS SIX OF THE DIRECTORS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.
If the holders of less than fifty percent of Rancher's common stock sign
and  return  the  enclosed  proxies,  then the  current  directors,  who are the
Company's  nominees,  will be retained in office until the next annual  meeting,
which may not occur until Summer of 2010.

We are mailing each registered  shareholder a copy of this Proxy Statement on or
about  ____________________,  2009, and you can obtain the Proxy Statement,  and
any other relevant  documents,  for free at the SEC's web site or from NSSVVO by
calling us at 307-266-1599.

2. The NSSVVO Candidates

NSSVVO  proposes  to fill  six  positions  on the  board of  directors  with its
candidates, Jon Nicolaysen, Andrei Stytsenko, Silvia Soltan, Vladimir Vaskevich,
Mathijs van Houweninge, and A.L. "Sid" Overton.

If holders of less than a majority of Rancher's common stock sign and return the
written  consent,  then NSSVVO may vote the executed  proxies as directed at the
Annual Meeting but may not be successful electing the NSSVVO slate of directors.

The NSSVVO candidates have furnished the following  information  regarding their
principal  occupations and certain other matters.  Each of the NSSVVO candidates
has consented to be named herein and to serve as a director if elected.

(4) Held in the name of his spouse, Oksana Guyemon.

There are no material  proceedings  in which any of the NSSVVO  candidates are a
party adverse to Rancher or material proceedings in which the candidates have an
interest  adverse  to  Rancher.  Except for Andrei  Stytsenko,  founder,  former
President and a director of Metalex  Resources,  Inc. (which changed its name to
Rancher) from  February  2004  (inception)  through  mid-May  2006,  none of the
candidates have previously been employed or engaged as an independent contractor
by Rancher nor as an officer or director of Rancher.  There are no  arrangements
or understandings  between any of the candidates and any other party pursuant to
which any candidate was or is to be selected as a director or candidate, nor are
there any such arrangements within Item 5(b)(1)(viii) of Schedule 14A.


In 2008,  Jon Nicolaysen  was  reimbursed,  at cost, for two fee leases which he
assigned to Rancher as part of the sale and costs  associated  with  getting the
leases.  Mr.  Nicolaysen  was a  shareholder  and  wanted to  contribute  to the
Company,  without  compensation,  in hope  that it  would  enhance  value of the
Company and his stock.  The sale took place as part of a package in 2007 but was
not executed until late 2007, and he was reimbursed in 2008.

3. Nomination and Quorum Requirements; Voting Procedures

Election of the NSSVVO  candidates  to Rancher's  Board of  Directors  under the
terms  contemplated  by this proxy  statement  requires  (1) the  holding of the
Annual Meeting,  which Rancher has indicated by its filed Proxy Statement may be
held in late  July  2009,  and (2) the  election  of the  NSSVVO  candidates  by
affirmative  vote of a  majority  of the votes cast by the  shareholders  at the
Annual  Meeting.  The  presence  in person or by proxy of  holders of at least a
majority  of  Rancher  shares  entitled  to  vote  at the  Annual  Meeting  will
constitute a quorum.


Based on publicly  available  information,  NSSVVO  believes that Rancher common
stock is the only  class of voting  shares of Rancher  and that all  outstanding
shares  will be  entitled  to vote at the  Annual  Meeting.  Each  share will be
entitled to one vote. The  accompanying  proxy will be voted in accordance  with
the  shareholder's  instructions on such proxy.  Each  shareholder may join with
NSSVVO in the  election of the six NSSVVO  candidates,  or the  shareholder  may
withhold its vote by failing to return the enclosed  proxy. We do not anticipate
that any other business will be conducted at the Annual Meeting,  but if Rancher
properly brings additional business before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment
or postponement thereof, we will have no authority to act on those other matters
for you under this proxy.

NSSVVO URGES  SHAREHOLDERS  TO SIGN THE ENCLOSED  YELLOW PROXIES AND RETURN THEM
PROMPTLY. NSSVVO ALSO URGES YOU TO VOTE FOR ELECTION OF THE NSSVVO CANDIDATES TO
BRING NEW BOARD MEMBERS WITH BOARD  EXPERIENCE AND  PERSPECTIVES TO THE BOARD TO
CUT EXPENSES, TO

                                       10





RENEGOTIATE DEBT, AND TO BRING NEW MANAGEMENT.  IF NO DIRECTION IS GIVEN AND YOU
RETURN THE SIGNED  PROXY TO US, IT WILL BE VOTED FOR THE  ELECTION OF THE NSSVVO
CANDIDATES. SHARES NOT VOTED, AND SHARES VOTED TO ABSTAIN FROM THE VOTE WILL NOT
BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN  DETERMINING  THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS,
SO LONG AS A QUORUM IS PRESENT.

According  to  Rancher's  Preliminary  14A filed on June 10,  2009,  there  were
119,516,723 shares of Rancher common stock outstanding as of June 2, 2009. Based
upon NSSVVO's review of publicly available EDGAR filings, to NSSVVO's knowledge,
the  shareholders  set forth below  beneficially  owned as of June 2, 2009, more
than five  percent of the  outstanding  shares of Rancher  common  stock and the
executive  officers and  directors of Rancher  beneficially  owned as of June 2,
2009, the number of shares of Rancher  common stock set forth below.  We have no
means to determine if,  between then and the date of this proxy  statement,  any
shares have been  purchased or sold by the  individuals  identified in the table
below, except from any public filings.

(1) Under SEC Rule 13d-3, a beneficial  owner of a security  includes any person
who, directly or indirectly, through any contract,  arrangement,  understanding,
relationship,  or otherwise has or shares:  (i) voting power, which includes the
power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and

                                       12





(ii)  investment  power,  which  includes  the power to  dispose  or direct  the
disposition of shares.  Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by
more than one person (if,  for example,  persons  share the power to vote or the
power  to  dispose  of  the  shares).  In  addition,  shares  are  deemed  to be
beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares
(for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which
the  information  is provided.  In  computing  the  percentage  ownership of any
person,  the amount of shares  outstanding  is deemed to  include  the amount of
shares  beneficially  owned by such person  (and only such  person) by reason of
these acquisition  rights. As a result,  the percentage of outstanding shares of
any person as shown in this  table does not  necessarily  reflect  the  person's
actual  ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common
stock actually outstanding on the date of this Proxy Statement.

(2) Except as indicated in the footnotes below,  each person has sole voting and
dispositive power over the shares indicated.

75,000  shares,  which  have been  previously  gifted  by Mr.  Works to a family

children of which he is the trustee.

20%  (or  20,000  shares)  upon  grant  and  20% on each  one  year  anniversary
thereafter.  Mr. Anderson also has beneficial  ownership and control over 10,000

4. Voting Your Shares and Revocability of Proxy

You may vote on the proxy even if you have previously  voted a proxy provided to
you by Rancher. You may change your vote after you have submitted a proxy - only
your latest dated proxy  counts.  Execution  and delivery of a proxy by a record
holder of shares will be presumed to

                                       14





be a proxy with  respect to all shares held by such record  holder on the record
date of the Annual Meeting unless the proxy specifies otherwise. Only holders of
record as of the record date of the Annual  Meeting will be entitled to vote. If
you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on the record date, you
will  retain  your voting  rights for the Annual  Meeting  even if you sell your
shares after the record  date.  Accordingly,  it is  important  that you grant a
proxy to vote the shares held by you on the record  date,  even if you sell your
shares after the record date.

Your proxy to vote at the Annual  Meeting is revocable,  and you may revoke your
proxy at any time prior to its  exercise  by  attending  the Annual  Meeting and
voting in person  (although  attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of
itself constitute revocation of a proxy), by giving oral notice of revocation of
your  proxy  at the  Annual  Meeting,  or by  delivering  a  written  notice  of
revocation or a duly executed  proxy relating to the matters to be considered at
the Annual  Meeting and bearing a date later than the date on your signed  proxy
to the  Secretary of Rancher at 999 18th Street,  Suite 3400,  Denver,  Colorado
80202.

Unless  revoked in the manner set forth  above,  your proxy to demand the Annual
Meeting will be submitted by NSSVVO in connection with its demand for the Annual
Meeting.  Your proxy for the  election of  Directors  nominated by NSSVVO at the
Annual  Meeting  will be voted at the  Annual  Meeting in  accordance  with your
instructions. In the absence of such instructions,  your proxy will be voted for
election of the NSSVVO candidates.

PLEASE REVIEW VOTING  INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ATTACHED YELLOW PROXIES.  YOUR VOTE IS
IMPORTANT.  WE URGE YOU TO JOIN WITH  NSSVVO IN ITS VOTE FOR TO ELECT THE NSSVVO
CANDIDATES  TO THE BOARD OF  DIRECTORS BY SIGNING,  DATING,  AND  RETURNING  THE
ENCLOSED  YELLOW PROXIES TODAY,  BECAUSE NSSVVO  BELIEVES THAT IT IS IN THE BEST
FINANCIAL INTEREST OF THE SHAREHOLDERS TO CHANGE THE BOARD AND MANAGEMENT.

If you have any questions about the voting of shares, please call Jon Nicolaysen
at 307-262-0855.

5. Solicitation of Proxies

Proxies will be solicited by mail, telephone,  facsimile,  e-mail, or in person.
Information regarding executive officers,  employees,  and other representatives
of NSSVVO who may solicit  proxies or assist in the  solicitation  of proxies is
set forth in the table  below.  We have not  retained  the services of anyone to
assist in  obtaining  proxies from  brokers and  nominees of  stockholders.  The
estimated  cost of copying and mailing  services  is  approximately  $9,000 plus
out-of-pocket expenses. Proxies may also be solicited in person, by telephone or
electronically  by the NSSVVO  candidates  who will not receive  any  additional
compensation for such solicitation. The entire expense of soliciting proxies for
NSSVVO  Director  Candidates  for the Annual  Meeting is being  borne by NSSVVO.
NSSVVO will not seek reimbursement for such expenses from Rancher. Costs of this
solicitation of proxies are expected to be approximately  $30,000,  primarily in
legal, solicitation, and mailing costs. Total incurred to date in furtherance of
or in connection with the

                                       15





solicitation of proxies is approximately $10,000.

NSSVVO  candidates  beneficially  own the following  number of shares of Rancher

Assessment.

See the table  below for list of  potential  solicitors  and their  holdings  of
Rancher's common stock.

The table above under Section 2, entitled  "NSSVVO  Candidates,"  sets forth the
name and present  principal  occupation or employment of the  individuals  known
collectively as NSSVVO who may solicit proxies and who are the NSSVVO Candidates
for director.  The business address of each such person is shown. Jon Nicolaysen
is a citizen of the United States. Andrei Stytsenko, Silvia Soltan, and Vladimir
Vaskevich  are citizens of Canada.  Mathijs van  Houweninge  is a citizen of The
Netherlands.

To the extent the  matters  to be acted upon at the Annual  Meeting  may have an
effect on the future  business of Rancher,  the  individuals  identified  in the
table may be deemed to have an

                                       16





interest in such  matters as a result of their  ownership of shares of Rancher's
common stock.

The  NSSVVO  candidates  identified  in the table in  Section 2 and in the above
table  collectively  own  the  beneficial  interests  as  shown  in  the  table.
Therefore,  if the  solicitation  of proxies is  successful,  such  persons will
receive indirect benefits from any subsequent director  compensation  allowed or
approved.

6. Shareholder Proposals for the Annual Meeting

Under  Article I, Section 3 of  Rancher's  Bylaws,  only those  matters that are
described in the notice of the Annual  Meeting may be  considered  at the Annual
Meeting.  NSSVVO does not intend to request  the conduct of any  business at the
Annual Meeting other than the election of the NSSVVO candidates. It is possible,
however,  that Rancher or other shareholders may request or demand the inclusion
of additional agenda items, in which case additional matters may be described in
the notice of the Annual Meeting.

Under Article I, Section 3 of Rancher's  Bylaws,  the date of the Annual Meeting
must be no earlier  than 10 days and no later than 90 days after the date of the
notice of the Annual Meeting.

7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

None of the NSSVVO candidates,  their immediate family members,  any corporation
or  organization  of which any of the  candidates  is an  executive  officer  or
partner, or is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of 10 percent or more
of any class of equity securities,  or any trust or other estate in which any of
the candidates has a substantial  beneficial  interest or serves as a trustee or
in a similar  capacity,  has been indebted to Rancher or its subsidiaries at any
time.

None of the relationships  regarding the NSSVVO candidates  described under Item
404(b) of  Regulation  S-K  exists or has  existed,  there are no  relationships
involving any of the NSSVVO candidates that would have required disclosure under
Item  402(j) of  Regulation  S-K had the NSSVVO  candidates  been  directors  of
Rancher.

8. Compensation of Directors

Employment Agreements; Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

Employment Agreements

Rancher entered into an employment  agreement with John H. Works,  dated June 1,
2006, pursuant to which he agreed to become Rancher's President, Chief Executive
Officer,  and a  member  of our  Board  of  Directors.  The  term of Mr.  Works'
agreement  is  two  years,   beginning  May  15,  2006.   The  agreement   shall
automatically  be renewed for two year terms unless prior to the commencement of
the additional  term: (i) either party gives thirty days' written notice of such
party's  desire to terminate the  agreement or (ii) the parties  cannot agree to
mutually  acceptable terms for the additional  term.  Rancher amended Mr. Works'
employment  agreement  on March 14, 2007  pursuant to which  Rancher pays him an
annual  salary of $225,000  per year.  Under Mr.  Works'  agreement  as amended,
Rancher reimburses him for out-of-pocket  expenses incurred by him up to $10,000
per month and pays him an automobile allowance of $400 per month. In conjunction
with his  employment  and as an  incentive  to become  our  President  and Chief
Executive Officer, Rancher granted to Mr. Works, under his employment agreement,
an option to purchase  4,000,000  shares of Rancher's common stock at a price of
$0.00001 per share.  The options vested  1,000,000  shares upon grant and vested
250,000  shares  quarterly  thereafter,  beginning  June 1, 2006 through May 31,
2009. As of May 31, 2009, all of Mr. Works' options to purchase 4,000,000 shares
of Rancher's common stock have been exercised.

On August 3, 2007, Rancher entered into an employment  agreement with Richard E.
Kurtenbach to become its Chief  Accounting  Officer.  Pursuant to the employment
agreement,  Mr. Kurtenbach will receive a base salary of $175,000 and a year end
bonus to be  determined  by its Board of  Directors.  Mr.  Kurtenbach  began his
employment  with  Rancher on August 27,  2007 and he was granted on that date an
option to purchase 450,000 shares of Rancher's common stock at an exercise price
of $0.45 per share. The options vests annually over a three-year period from the
date of grant,  and will be  exercisable  for a term of five  years,  subject to
early termination of Mr. Kurtenbach's  employment with Rancher. In addition, Mr.
Kurtenbach  is entitled to the  coverage or benefits  under any and all employee
benefit plans maintained by Rancher.

On October 6, 2006,  Rancher promoted Andrew Casazza to Chief Operating  Officer
effective  October 3, 2006. In connection  with this  promotion,  on October 23,
2006, Rancher entered into a three-year  employment  agreement ending on October
31, 2009 with Mr.  Casazza for his  employment as its Chief  Operating  Officer.
Under Mr. Casazza's employment agreement,  Mr. Casazza was entitled to receive a
base salary of $100,000,  which was subsequently  increased on March 14, 2007 to
$160,000 per year. Mr. Casazza was eligible to receive a discretionary bonus for
each  calendar  year during the term and is entitled to the coverage or benefits
under any and all employee  benefit plans  maintained by Rancher.  On October 2,
2006,  Rancher  granted Mr. Casazza an option to purchase  750,000 shares of its
common  stock at an  exercise  price of $1.75 per share.  Mr.  Casazza's  option
vested  25% on the date of grant  and was to vest 25% on each  anniversary  date
thereafter.  Mr.  Casazza  resigned his position as  Rancher's  Chief  Operating
Officer effective April 30, 2008.

                                       19






Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

Under Mr. Works' employment agreement, if Mr. Works' employment is terminated by
Rancher for cause,  Rancher is obligated to pay Mr. Works,  within 30 days after
the date of his  termination,  a lump sum payment in the amount equal to the sum
of the accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of  termination  plus any
unpaid  approved  expenses.  If Mr.  Works'  employment is terminated by Rancher
without cause,  it is obligated to pay Mr. Works,  within 30 days after the date
of his  termination,  a lump sum  payment  an  amount  equal to the sum of three
months base salary plus any unpaid approved expenses.

If Rancher  terminates  the employment of Mr.  Kurtenbach for cause,  Rancher is
obligated to pay him no later than ten days following the date of termination, a
lump sum equal to Mr.  Kurtenbach's  accrued  base  salary  through  the date of
termination,  and any and all accrued vacation pay, and accrued benefits through
the date of termination.  If Rancher terminates the employment of Mr. Kurtenbach
without  cause or if he resigns for good reason,  Mr.  Kurtenbach is entitled to
receive (i) his base salary accrued  through the date of  termination,  (ii) any
and all accrued  vacation and accrued  benefits  through the date of termination
and  (iii)  his base  salary  at the rate in  effect  on the date of  notice  of
termination for a period of six months thereafter.

The following table  describes and quantifies  certain  compensation  that would
become payable under the existing employment agreements with Rancher's executive
officers if their  employment  had been  terminated on March 31, 2009 by Rancher
without cause,  or by Mr. Works or Mr.  Kurtenbach for good reason given each of
their compensation and service levels as of such date and, if applicable,  based
on Rancher's closing stock price on that date:

Director Compensation

According to the  Preliminary  14A Proxy  Statement filed by Rancher on June 10,
2009,  the non-  employee  Directors of Rancher for the last fiscal year,  which
ended March 31, 2009, were compensated  using a mix of compensation,  including:
an annual  retainer paid in shares of common  stock,  meeting fees and committee
chair  fees.  Directors  who  are  Rancher's  employees  receive  no  additional
compensation for serving on the Board of Directors.

Cash Compensation and Equity Compensation

According to the  Preliminary  14A Proxy  Statement filed by Rancher on June 10,
2009, all non-employee  Directors receive $45,000 annual compensation,  which is
paid  quarterly  in shares of  Rancher's  common stock and is priced at the fair
market value at the end of each fiscal quarter  represented by the closing price
on the last trading day of the quarter. Each non-employee Director also receives
$6,000 per year,  plus  reasonable  out of pocket  expenses,  to attend Board of
Directors meetings. If a non-employee Director is a member of a committee, he or
she  receives  $4,000 per year for  committee  meetings.  A  committee  chairman
receives $6,000 per year,  except an audit committee  chairman  receives $10,000
per year.  Meeting  payments are made quarterly and a Director may receive stock
in lieu of cash  under the 2006 Stock  Incentive  Plan,  which will be  computed
using the ratio of $1.50 of Rancher's  common stock for each $1.00 to be paid in
cash to the Director.  In addition to the above compensation,  each non-employee
director received in conjunction with his joining the Board of Directors a stock
grant of 100,000 shares of Rancher's common stock that vests 20% (20,000 shares)
on the date of grant with vesting 20% per year thereafter.

Statement.

On June 10, 2009,  Rancher filed the following  information  and table regarding

Auditors

Currently,   Rancher  has  selected  Hein  &  Associates  LLP  ("Hein")  as  its

31,  2009 and 2010.  During  the two most  recent  fiscal  years and  subsequent
interim period prior to its selection as independent  accountants,  Hein had not
been  consulted by Rancher on any of the matters  referenced in  Regulation  S-K
Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii).

Director Fees

If  elected,  NSSVVOcandidates  shall  receive a reduced  director  fee from the
current rates. Moreover, the NSSVVO candidates intend to discontinue the payment
of director fees at the rates paid to the existing  directors.  Each candidate's
beneficial  ownership  of Rancher  shares are set forth in Table II in Section 2
above.  Each of the NSSVVO  candidates,  if  elected,  will be  indemnified  for
service as a director  to the same extent  indemnification  is provided to other
directors under Rancher's governing documents.  Also, upon election,  the NSSVVO
candidates  intend to be covered by  Rancher's  officer and  director  liability
insurance.  The NSSVVO  candidates,  if elected,  may  consider  and adopt a new
director compensation arrangement, although at reduced rates from present rates,
which could be in the form of an option or stock.

None of the NSSVVO candidates has received any material cash compensation,  cash
bonuses,  deferred  compensation,  compensation  pursuant  to  plans,  or  other
material  compensation,  from, or in respect of, services  rendered on behalf of
Rancher,  or is subject to any  arrangement  described in Item 402 of Regulation
S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 (Regulation S-K).There is no other material
arrangement  pursuant to which any NSSVVO candidate was compensated for services
during Rancher's last fiscal year.


                                       25





9. Other Matters

NSSVVO is not  aware of any other  substantive  matter to be  considered  at the
Annual  Meeting.  However,  if any other matter comes before the Annual Meeting,
NSSVVO will vote the proxies  only for the matters  contained  in the Proxy form
and consistent  with federal proxy rules.  The  information  concerning  Rancher
contained  in this  proxy  statement  has been  taken  from,  or is based  upon,
publicly  available  information.  Although NSSVVO does not have any information
that would indicate information  contained in this proxy statement that has been
taken from such  documents is  inaccurate  or  incomplete,  NSSVVO has no way to
verify or assess the reliability, accuracy, or completeness of such information.
To date, NSSVVO has had only limited access to the books and records of Rancher.

If we are  unsuccessful in our  solicitation of proxies,  we will continue to do
what  we can  to  advocate  appropriate  changes  in  Rancher's  management  and
direction, but we do not plan on making any further proxy solicitations or other
attempts to gain control of Rancher.


None of the  NSSVVO  candidates  or their  affiliates  have  purchased  stock in
Rancher over the past two years in any transactions, except that Mr. Stytensko's
spouse, Oksana Stytensko,  purchased 125,500 shares in December 2008 in a market
transaction.
