1. PROFESSIONAL INVESTMENT COMMUNITY AWARENESS

B. Introductions to new fund managers and analysts (buy and sell side) through the utilization of both Big Dough and other on-line tools such as StreetWise, etc.

C. Introductions to High Net-Worth accredited investors who build positions in micro-cap companies and are familiar with other quality companies, which AA currently and previously represented.

D. Broker conference calls/presentations arranged by AA in select cities (and at compatible times) with top management at BPTR. Cities we would schedule meetings include New York, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Ft. Lauderdale, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, LA, Miami, Orange County, CA, San Diego, San Francisco, St. Louis, D.C., and other select cities.

E. All interested parties will be continually updated of Client’s progress via phone conversations and through our fax/e-mail list for news releases.

F. AA will screen all investment firms for upcoming financial conferences, which would be appropriate for BPTR. AA will work through the proper channels with the goal of receiving invitations for management to present at those conferences, which are relevant.

2. SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

AA will have a knowledgeable associate available during market hours to field and respond to all investor inquiries in a timely manner. This is a time intensive service that allows management to focus on executing its business plan.

B. AA will provide same day fulfillment for all investor package requests.

C. Quarterly Conference Calls to accompany the earnings release. AA will assist with scripting these calls and monitoring the continuity to ensure a smooth rollout for investors.

B. Financial Newsletter campaign. AA will work with our many financial newsletter editors and publishers for a “Buy Recommendation” for BPTR. The newsletters we contact have a paid subscription base of investors who focus solely on micro cap stocks and do not solicit compensation for coverage. A “Buy Recommendation” can produce a great deal of new investor interest and lends third party support and opinion. AA has been able to achieve “Buy Recommendations” for former and current clients in: The Kon-Lin letter, The Conservative Speculator, Xxxx Xxxxx Digest, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx’x Special Investment Situations, The Patient Inve$tor, and Equities Special Situations. Other publications we have worked with and will introduce BPTR to include: The Red Chip Review, Investor’s Digest, The Quiet Investor, Xxxxx Letter, High-Growth Newsletter, Bullish Investor, Low-Priced Stocks, and the Micro-Stock Digest.

prospective individual shareholders who are already invested or have expressed an interest in BPTR.

III. AGENDA (Initial 180 days)

A. Establish a time line of expected corporate events.

B. Generate a two-page Corporate Profile, which clearly articulates BPTR’s current business and financial position, as well as its strategy for future growth.

C. Assist BPTR in updating its investor package and investor information via the company’s corporate Web site. Assist with Shareholders’ letter and quarterly update.

L. Contact Brokerage Firms who hold conferences for the purpose of receiving an invitation for management to present.

Many of the above items will occur simultaneously. Certain items will have chronological priority over others, however for the most part agenda items will progress in unison throughout the initial 180-day period. As BPTR grows and evolves, we will recommend changes to the Agenda that compliment the growth. As the company continues to execute its strategic plan by signing new installation contracts and completing strategic acquisition, which will compliment its growth, we will target an expanded universe of brokers, analysts and portfolio/fund managers. At each stage of growth, the appropriate approach to the market will be incorporated into the agenda for optimal results. A new formal Agenda will be created after the 180-day period, or earlier if necessary.
