mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto. This Agreement shall terminate,
however, in the event that the Advisor is no longer a member in good standing of
FINRA.
5. Advisory Fee. As compensation for the services to be rendered by

the Advisory Agreement is in effect, as follows: (a) a cash fee of $5,000 per
month during the term of this agreement and (b) the Company will sell to the

shares available upon the ninety day anniversary of the Commencement Date, the
third tranche of 125,000 shares available upon the six month anniversary of the
Commencement Date and the fourth tranche of 125,000 shares available upon the
nine month anniversary of the Commencement Date. Newbridge will have standard

6. Financing Fee. In the event the Advisor effects, underwrites or

Company, in a private or public debt and/or equity transaction, pursuant to
which the Company obtains financing or other consideration, the Advisor shall
receive a Financing Fee in addition to the Advisory Fee and any other fee to be
received pursuant to this Agreement, which shall be mutually determined between
the Company and the Advisor at the time of any such Financing.
7. Transaction Finder's Fee. In connection with any transaction
------------------------
consummated by the Company in which the Advisor introduced the other party
(except for any party identified by the Company on a schedule to be provided
contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement) to the Company, during a
period ending six (6) months from the termination of this agreement (in each
such case, a "Transaction") the Company will pay to the Advisor a Transaction
Fee ("Transaction Fee") based on the aggregate consideration received or to be
paid by the Company in connection with such Transaction (as further defined
below), and computed as follows: 5% of the first million dollars; 4% of the next
million dollars; 3% of the next million dollars; 2% of the next million dollars
and 1% of the balance of the value of the transaction. The Transaction Fee will
be payable in the same forms and proportions as the aggregate consideration
disbursed or received by the Company, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in
writing by the parties. By way of example, if the Company consummates a
transaction in which the Company receives aggregate consideration of $2 million,
consisting of $1 million in securities and $1 million in cash, then the
Transaction Fee will be payable by the Company one-half in securities and
one-half in cash.
(a) As used herein, the term "aggregate consideration" shall be deemed to be
the total amount disbursed or received by the Company (which shall be
deemed to include amounts paid into escrow) in connection with a Transaction.
(b) A Transaction Fee is payable in the event of and upon the closing of a
Transaction; provided, however, that if the aggregate consideration
consists of or may be increased by future payments or contingent payments
related to future earnings or operations, the Company, in its discretion, shall
have the choice to either (i) pay that portion of the Transaction Fee at closing
based on the present value of any future and/or contingent payments calculated
as at closing or (ii) pay that portion of the Transaction Fee calculated and
paid when and as such future and/or contingent payments are made to the Company;
provided further, however, that even if the Company exercises its discretion
under clause (ii) above, the entire Transaction Fee due to the Advisor will be
paid within twenty-four (24) months of the date this Agreement is terminated,
regardless of whether the Company has then received all payments that are to be
made to the Company in connection with the Transaction.

suit or proceeding for which such Indemnified Person will claim
indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnifying
Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an
Indemnified Person within twenty (20) business days after the receipt of written
notice from such Indemnified Person of such commencement, to assume, at its
expense, the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however,

action, suit or proceeding, and to participate in the defense thereof, but the

Person); it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in
connection with any one such action or proceeding of separate but substantially
similar or related actions or proceedings arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any
time acting for each Indemnified Person in any one jurisdiction. The
Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action,
claim, suit or proceeding in which any Indemnified Person is a party and as to
which indemnification or contribution has been sought by such Indemnified Person
hereunder, unless such Indemnified Person has given its prior written consent or
the settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an express
unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, satisfactory in form and
substance to such Indemnified Person, from all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities arising out of such action, claim, suit or proceeding.
(d) If for any reason the indemnity provided for in this Section 12 is
unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold an Indemnified
Person harmless, then the Indemnifying Party, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Person as a result of such claims, liabilities, losses, damages or expenses in
such proportion as its appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received
by the Company on one hand and by the Advisor on the other, from the transaction
or proposed transaction under this Agreement and (ii) the relative fault of the
Company and the Advisor, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Advisor on the other shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the
Advisor. The indemnity, contribution and expense reimbursement obligations set
forth herein (i) shall be in addition to any liability an Indemnifying Party may
have to any Indemnified Person at common law of otherwise, (ii) shall survive
the termination of this Agreement, (iii) shall apply to any modification of this
Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect following the completion or
termination of the Agreement, (iv) shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Advisor or
any other Indemnified Person, and (v) shall be binding on any successor or
assign of the Company or the Advisor and the respective successors or assigns to
