Ladies and Gentlemen:

Alchemy Enterprises, Ltd., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), proposes to offer for sale to “accredited investors,” in a private placement (the “Offering”), up to 30,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), with an aggregate value of $10,500,000. The Shares will be offered pursuant to those terms and conditions acceptable to you as reflected in the engagement letter, dated April 11, 2006, as amended or supplemented (the “Engagement Letter”). The Shares will be offered on a “best efforts - all or none” basis as to the first 10,000,000 Shares offered (the “Minimum Offering”) and on a “best efforts” basis as to the 20,000,000 Shares offered and sold thereafter (the “Maximum Offering”), pursuant to the Engagement Letter and related documents, in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company has also granted to Brookstreet Securities Corporation (the “Placement Agent”) an option, subject to the closing of the Maximum Offering, to be exercised within 60 days after the final Closing (as such term is defined in Section 4(a) hereof), to sell up to 4,500,000 additional Shares solely to cover over-subscriptions (the “Over-subscription Shares”), if any.

Giving consideration to present market conditions, and assuming no adverse changes in the business or prospects of the Company, it is contemplated that, upon the sale of $6,000,000 in shares of Common Stock, the existing shareholders of the Company will retain approximately 57% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Placement Agent may form a selling group of selected dealers to offer and sell the Shares in the Offering.

The Offering will be accomplished pursuant to a confidential private placement memorandum (the “Private Placement Memorandum”). The Private Placement Memorandum, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the form of proposed subscription agreement between the Company and each subscriber (the “Subscription Agreement”) and the other exhibits which are part of the Private Placement Memorandum and/or the Subscription Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Offering Documents.”

The Company will prepare and deliver to the Placement Agent a reasonable number of copies of the Offering Documents in form and substance satisfactory to counsel to the Placement Agent.

Each prospective investor subscribing to purchase Shares (a “Subscriber”) will be required to deliver, among other things, a Subscription Agreement and a confidential subscriber questionnaire (a “Questionnaire”) in the form to be provided to offerees.

prospects of the Company; or (viii) any change in the market for securities in general or in political, financial or economic conditions which, in the Placement Agent’s reasonable judgment, makes it inadvisable to proceed with the Offering or the sale and delivery of the Shares.

(g) Financial Statements and Due Diligence. There shall not have occurred, at any time prior to the Closing or, if applicable, any additional Closing, any change in the financial condition of the Company or its operating results as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements or in the Private Placement Memorandum, so as to make them not consistent with information previously provided or to constitute a material adverse change in the financial condition or results of operations of the Company, or a material misstatement of fact in the Private Placement Memorandum or an omission to state a material statement of fact necessary to be stated therein in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, which, in the Placement Agent’s reasonable judgment, makes it inadvisable to proceed with the Offering or the sale and delivery of the Shares. Prior to the Closing or, if applicable, any additional Closing, the Company will supply counsel to the Placement Agent with all necessary financial documents, corporate records, material contracts and other information as counsel may reasonably request to fulfill the Placement Agent’s due diligence obligations.

Covenants of the Company.

(a) Use of Proceeds. The net proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Company as set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum. The Company shall not use any of the proceeds from the Offering to repay any indebtedness to any executive officers, directors or principal shareholders of the Company. The Company shall establish a reserve of at least 8% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (up to a maximum of $250,000) to retain an effective investor relations firm to perform financial relationship management services and to generate after-market interest in the Company’s stock.

(b) Expenses of Offering. The Company shall be responsible for, and shall bear all expenses directly incurred in connection with, the proposed Offering including, but not limited to, the preparation of the Private Placement Memorandum, due diligence, costs and counsel fees for “Blue Sky” filings under state securities laws, the fees and reimbursements of counsel and the accountants for the Company, the reasonable fees and reimbursements of counsel for the Placement Agent (which, at a minimum, will be paid at each Closing from the proceeds thereof), the cost of printing the Private Placement Memorandum, fees of the Company’s bank escrow agent, and all such other expenses directly attributable to the Offering. The Company shall also reimburse the Placement Agent for out-of-pocket marketing and/or broker-dealer due diligence expenses, including, for example, telephone charges, copy charges, air travel (full-fare coach rates), hotel (Hilton/Marriott level), and other standard expenses; provided, however, that these expenses must have a verbal pre-approval from the Company if an individual expense is expected to exceed $1,000. Expenses are due and payable within 15 days after submission of receipts to the Company.

(c) Information. During the Offering, the Company shall afford each prospective purchaser of Shares the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from an officer of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering and the opportunity to obtain such other additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the Private Placement Memorandum to the extent it possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable expense.

(d) Termination Fee. If the Offering shall not be consummated by the Termination Date, the Company and the Placement Agent shall be released from any and all commitments and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if the Company is unable or unwilling to assist with or to complete, or otherwise determines not to proceed with, the Offering or if the Company

- 12 -

prevents the completion of the Offering prior to closing, because the Company breaches any representation, covenant or warranty contained herein or for any other reason, or the Company, or all or substantially all of its stock, debt or assets, is sold, merged or otherwise acquired, directly or indirectly, or enters into a letter of intent or completes a public or private offering of its securities, directly or through another broker-dealer from the date of execution of this Agreement, the Company will, nevertheless, reimburse the Placement Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Offering, including without limitation the reasonable fees and expenses of the Placement Agent’s counsel for services rendered through such date, together with $100,000 to compensate the Placement Agent for the efforts of its investment bankers and staff in connection with the Offering.

(e) Reservation of Capital Stock. The Company shall reserve and keep available the maximum number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon exercise of the Agent’s Warrants.

(f) Notification. The Company shall notify the Placement Agent immediately, and in writing, (i) when any event shall have occurred during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the later of the final Closing or the Termination Date as a result of which the Offering Documents would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) of the receipt of any notification with respect to the modification, rescission, withdrawal or suspension of the qualification or registration of the Shares, or of any exemption from such registration or qualification, in any jurisdiction. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such modification, rescission, withdrawal or suspension and, if any such modification, rescission, withdrawal or suspension is issued and the Placement Agent so requests, to obtain the lifting thereof as promptly as possible.

(g) Blue Sky. The Company will use its best efforts to qualify or register the Shares for offering and sale under, or establish an exemption from such qualification or registration under, the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Placement Agent may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company will not be obligated to qualify as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified; and provided, further, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where, but for the requirements of this subsection (f), it would not be obligated to be so qualified, to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction (except pursuant to the Uniform Consent to Service of Process on Form U-1 or such other similar form as may be required in any jurisdiction). The Company will not consummate any sale of Shares in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or in any manner in which such sale may not be lawfully made. The appropriate documents shall be prepared and filed by counsel for the Placement Agent with the Commission and in every state of residence of every Subscriber as required by law to ensure the Offering complies with any available exemptions from registration. The legal fees of $500 per state plus filing fees and other costs and expenses for qualifying the Offering in all states shall be borne by the Company. Additionally, the Company will promptly after the initial closing of the Offering file all necessary reports, at its expense, to publish all information so as to have available “current public information” in Standard & Poor’s Corporation Records or Mergent’s Manual, for state “blue sky” exemption purposes.

(h) Form D Filing. The Company shall file five copies of a Notice of Sales of Securities on Form D with the Commission no later than 15 days after the first sale of the Shares. The Company shall file promptly such amendments to such Notices on Form D as shall become necessary and shall also comply with any filing requirement imposed by the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which offers and sales are made. The Company shall furnish the Placement Agent with copies of all such filings.

- 13 -

(i) Registration Rights. The Company shall file a “shelf” registration statement with the Commission covering all of the Shares sold in the Offering and the Reserved Shares no later than sixty (60) days after the final closing of the Offering and use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as possible and, in any event, within one hundred fifty (150) days after the final Closing date. The Company will be obligated to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement from the effective date through twelve (12) months thereafter. The expenses of the foregoing registration rights (other than underwriting discounts and selling commissions relating to sales by the Subscribers and fees and disbursements of any special counsel for such Subscribers in the event the Subscribers use counsel other than the Company’s regular counsel) shall be borne by the Company. The above-described registration rights of the Subscribers shall be subject to such reasonable and customary restrictions and limitations as may be agreed upon by the parties and provided for in a registration rights agreement or subscription agreement. All such registration rights will terminate two (2) years after the initial closing of the Offering.

(j) Press Releases, etc. The Company shall not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the later of the final Closing and the Termination Date, issue any press release or other communication, or hold any press conference with respect to the Company, its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, assets or liabilities, or the Offering, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or unless otherwise required by law.

(k) Restrictions on Issuance of Securities. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, issue additional shares of capital stock or grant any warrants, options or other securities of the Company, except upon exercise of options and warrants outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. Additionally, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, issue any additional shares between the date of the Private Placement Memorandum and the expiration of twelve (12) months thereafter if such issuance would cause any provision made in the Private Placement Memorandum to be materially misleading or would otherwise subject the Placement Agent or the Selling Group to any reasonable likelihood of liability under the Securities Act.

(l) Key-Man Life Insurance. The Company shall obtain and maintain in force, for a period of at least two (2) years following the initial closing of the Offering, term life insurance payable to the Company upon the life of Xxxxxxxx X. Read, in an amount of not less than $1,000,000.

(m) Records and Reports. The Company shall, for a period of not less than five (5) years following the initial closing of the Offering, keep its books and records up-to-date and provide annual reports to shareholders containing audited financial statements.

(n) Representation on the Board of Directors. The Company and the principal shareholders of the Company shall use their best efforts to cause to be elected to the Company’s Board of Directors two persons acceptable to the Company and who are designated, from time to time, by the Placement Agent on behalf of the Subscribers. The Company shall reimburse such representatives for his or her reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Placement Agent’s right to designate representatives on the Company’s Board of Directors shall terminate two (2) years after the initial closing of the Offering.

(o) Fee Tail. The Company shall pay to the Placement Agent the Placement Agent Fee with respect to, and based on, any investment by any party (a “Post-Closing Investor”) introduced to the Company by Placement Agent which invests in the Company at any time prior to the date twelve (12) months after the later to occur of the Termination Date or the final Closing.

- 14 -

(p) Right of First Refusal. For two (2) years following the initial closing of the Offering, the Placement Agent will have a right of first refusal to act as the Company’s investment banker with respect to future private and public financings (to the extent the Company contemplates engaging an investment banker for any such transaction). Such right of first refusal shall mean that the Placement Agent will have the right to act as the Company’s investment banker in any such financing if the Placement Agent is prepared to proceed with such transaction on terms that are then comparable to those being offered by other investment banking firms to similarly situated companies.

Covenants of the Placement Agent.

(a) The Placement Agent shall offer and sell the Shares only to “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.

(b) The Placement Agent agrees not to engage in any activities in connection with the offer of the Shares in any state (i) in which the Shares are not qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities or Blue Sky laws thereof, (ii) in which the Placement Agent may not lawfully so engage, or (iii) in which it is not a registered broker-dealer.

(c) The Placement Agent will use its best efforts to offer the Shares in compliance with the requirements of Regulation D.

Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, and to reimburse the Placement Agent for reasonable legal fees and related expenses as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Documents or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, and to reimburse the Placement Agent for reasonable legal fees and related expenses as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and to reimburse the Placement Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent, for reasonable legal and related expenses as incurred, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnification provided in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7(a) shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of any information with respect to the Placement Agent contained in the Offering Documents in reliance upon written information furnished by the Placement Agent.

- 15 -

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever directly arising out of the exercise by any person of any right under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or the securities or Blue Sky laws of any state on account of a breach of any of the representations, warranties or agreements set forth in Section 2 hereof.

(c) The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Placement Agent in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) above, but only with respect to statements or omissions, if any, made in the Private Placement Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company as stated in this Section 7(c) with respect to the Placement Agent expressly for inclusion in the Private Placement Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, as the case may be; provided, however, that the obligation of the Placement Agent to provide indemnity under the provisions of this Section 7(c) shall be limited to the amount which represents the product of the number of Shares sold by the Placement Agent in the Offering and the placement fee per share set forth in Section 4(d) of this Agreement. If any action shall be brought against the Company or any other person so indemnified based on the Private Placement Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Placement Agent pursuant to this Section 7(c), the Placement Agent shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and the Company and each other person so indemnified shall have the rights and duties given to the indemnified parties, by the provisions of Sections 7(a) and 7(b) above.

(d) Promptly after receipt by a person entitled to indemnification pursuant to the foregoing subsection (a), (b) or (c) (an “indemnified party”) under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the other party (an “indemnifying party”) under this Section 7, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party or parties and the Company and, in the judgment of the indemnified party, it is advisable for the indemnified party or parties to be represented by separate counsel (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general

- 16 -

allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for the indemnified party or parties). No settlement of any action against an indemnified party shall be made without the consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld in light of all factors of importance to the indemnified party.

8. Contribution. To provide for just and equitable contribution, if (i) an indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7 but it is found in a final judicial determination, not subject to further appeal, that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though this Agreement expressly provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) any indemnified or indemnifying party seeks contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise, then the indemnifying party (including for this purpose any contribution made by or on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent for the indemnifying party, or any controlling person of the indemnifying party), on the one hand, and the indemnified party (including for this purpose any contribution by or on behalf of an indemnified party), on the other hand, shall contribute to the losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses whatsoever to which any of them may be subject, in such proportions as are appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand; provided, however, that if applicable law does not permit such allocation, then other relevant equitable considerations such as the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the facts which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses shall also be considered. In no case shall the indemnified party be responsible for a portion of the contribution obligation in excess of the compensation received by it pursuant to Section 4 hereof. No person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls the indemnified party within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and each officer, director, stockholder, employee and agent of the indemnified party, shall have the same rights to contribution as the indemnified party, and each person, if any, who controls the indemnifying party within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and each officer, director, employee and agent of the indemnifying party, shall have the same rights to contribution as the indemnifying party, subject in each case to the provisions of this Section 8. Anything in this Section 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, no party shall be liable for contribution with respect to the settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent. This Section 8 is intended to supersede any right to contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise.

9. Confidentiality. In the course of its services under this Agreement, each party will have access to Confidential Information (as defined below) concerning the other party. The parties agree that all Confidential Information will be treated by the receiving party as confidential in all respects. The parties hereby agree that they and their dealers, affiliates and representatives shall, as appropriate: (i) use the Confidential Information solely for the purposes of the engagement hereunder; and (ii) not disclose any Confidential Information to any other party except to those of their representatives who need to know such information for the purposes of the engagement hereunder and who have been advised of such confidentiality restrictions. The term “Confidential Information” shall mean all information, whether written or oral, which is or has been disclosed by one party or its affiliates, agents or representatives to the other party or any of its representatives in connection with the Offering and the transactions contemplated hereby, which is not in the public domain, but shall not include: (i) information which is publicly disclosed other than by the recipient party in violation of this Agreement; (ii) information which is obtained by the recipient party from a third party that (x) has not violated, or obtained such information in violation of, any obligation to the disclosing party or its affiliates with respect to such information and (y) does not require the recipient party to refrain from disclosing such information; and (iii) information which is required to be disclosed by the recipient party or its outside counsel under compulsion of law (whether by oral question, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative

- 17 -

demand or otherwise) or by order of any court or governmental or regulatory body to whose supervisory authority the recipient party is subject; provided that, in such circumstance, the recipient party will give the disclosing party prior written notice of such disclosure and cooperate with the disclosing party to minimize the scope of any such disclosure. The parties’ obligation under this Section 9 shall continue after the date of expiration, termination or completion of this Agreement or the Placement Agent’s engagement hereunder.

10.

Miscellaneous.

(a) Survival. Any termination of the Offering without consummation thereof shall be without obligation on the part of any party except the payment of certain fees and expenses pursuant to Sections 5(b), 5(c) and 5(d) hereof, the indemnification provisions provided in Section 7 hereof, the contribution provided in Section 8 hereof and the confidentiality provisions provided in Section 9 hereof shall survive any termination and that specifically the provisions contained in Section 7 regarding indemnification and Section 8 regarding contribution shall survive the final Closing for a period of five years.

The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California before three arbitrators, all of whom shall be from the securities industry. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
