Re:       Pay-Off Arrangements

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is being sent to you on behalf of Turbon International Inc., a
Pennsylvania corporation (the “Lender”), as well as on behalf of the Lender’s
parent corporation, Turbon AG, a corporation organized under the laws of the
Federal Republic of Germany with its registered business seat in Hattingen,
Germany (“T-AG”).

We refer to the Loan Agreement dated as of November 4, 2005 (the “Loan
Agreement”) by and among Adsero Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
“Borrower”), the Lender and Teckn-O-Laser Global Company, a Nova Scotia
Unlimited Liability Company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower (the
“Guarantor” and collectively with the Borrower, the “Borrowing Parties”). All
capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective
meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement. We further refer to the
Share Purchase Agreement between the Borrower and T-AG dated June 22, 2005,
pursuant to which, on June 22, 2005 and November 4, 2005, the Borrower acquired
the Pledged Stock (as defined herein).

The Borrower and Lender have previously signed a non-binding proposal which
contemplates that Borrower shall satisfy in full of all amounts due under the
Loan Agreement by the assignment and transfer of its commercial rights (to the
extent thereof) in 400,000 shares (the “Pledged Stock”) of common stock to T-AG.
The Borrower previously caused the pay down of US$1,926,497.88 (the “A/R Line
Paydown Amount”) due under the Line of Credit on August 4, 2006 in connection
with the sale of assets by Guarantor and Tecknolaser USA, Inc. (an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower) to the Lender.

The parties acknowledge that, as of August 23, 2006, the aggregate value of the
Pledged Stock, as determined using the closing price per share reported on the
Frankfort Stock Exchange on such date, was approximately US$3,465,616. The
Pledged Stock was pledged by the Borrower to the Lender pursuant to the Loan
Agreement as security for the Borrower’s obligations thereunder, and was
subsequently pledged to T-AG to secure obligations of the Lender to T-AG. The
Borrowing Parties acknowledge and confirm that T-AG at all times has been the
formal owner of the Pledged Stock and that performance under the Share Purchase
Agreement has been made by founding a fiduciary/trust-agreement between the
Borrower and T-AG. The Borrower has previously granted a junior lien on the
Pledged Stock to The National Bank of Canada and Barrington Bank International
Limited. The Borrower has requested, and the Lender desires to provide the
Borrower with, the appropriate pay-off figures for the principal, interest and
other amounts owing by the Borrower to the Lender under the Loan Agreement and
the other terms and conditions of the Lender’s agreement to discharge such
amounts owing.

- 1 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pay-Off Amount as of the Computation Date. The pay-off figures for the Borrower
as of August 23, 2006 (the “Computation Date”) under the Loan Agreement are as
follows (collectively, together with any additional interest accruing after the
Computation Date, the “Pay-Off Amount”):

Term Note:

 

 

Principal:

US$

2,800,000.00

Interest:

US$

8,944.44

 

 

 

Line of Credit Note:

 

 

Principal:

US$

1,007,814.79

Interest:

US$

3,219.40

Total:

US$

3,819,978.63

As of the Pay-Off Date (as defined below), the Line of Credit shall be
terminated and neither the Lender nor T-AG shall have any obligation to make
additional loans thereunder to the Borrower.

Interest, etc. accruing after the Computation Date. From and after the
Computation Date and until the Pay-Off Date (as defined below), interest shall
continue to accrue on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan and Line of
Credit at the rates set forth in the Loan Agreement. Upon request of the
Borrower, the Lender shall provide the Borrower with a revised figure for the
amount of interest to be paid as part of the Pay-Off Amount.

Discharge and Release on the Payment Date. The Lender acknowledges and agrees
that, upon the Lender’s receipt of all of the deliveries required hereunder on
the date of delivery (the time of the Lender’s receipt of all of such deliveries
being hereinafter referred to as the “Pay-Off Date”), (a) all indebtedness and
obligations of the Borrower and Guarantor to the Lender under or in respect of
the Loan Agreement (and the other loan documents executed in connection
therewith (the “Loan Documents”)) shall be deemed to be and shall be paid and
discharged in full and (b) the Lender shall, at the request and expense of the
Borrower, release or terminate all security interests and liens which the
Borrower may have granted to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement. For
avoidance of all doubt, the discharge referenced in clause (a) above shall
include a discharge of trade debt of Guarantor (or its subsidiary, Tecknolaser
Company) to Turbon in the approximate amount of US$1.08 million, which amount
was incurred pursuant to that certain Strategic Supply Agreement, dated as of
June 22, 2005, by and between T-AG and Borrower.

Reservations. The Borrower and Guarantor acknowledge and agree that their
respective obligations and liabilities under the Loan Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be reinstated with full force and effect, if at any time on
or after the Closing Date, (i) all or any portion of the assignment or transfer
of the Pledged Stock to the Lender or T-AG or (ii) all or any portion of the A/R
Line Paydown Amount is voided or rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the
Lender to the Borrower upon the Borrower’s or Guarantor’s insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such Pledged Stock had not been
sold, assigned or transferred to the Lender or T-AG or the amounts paid to the
Lender in connection with such asset sale had not been paid, as the case may be.
In addition, nothing contained in this letter shall terminate or otherwise
impair those expense reimbursement, indemnification or other provisions of the
Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents which by their express terms survive
the repayment of the outstanding obligations thereunder.

contemplated hereby and that such resolutions remain in full force and effect;

(iii) Officer’s Certificate. A certificate executed by the Chief Executive

- 3 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Termination of Fiduciary/trust Agreement. The fiduciary/trust-agreement between
T-AG and the Borrower shall be deemed to be terminated effective as of the
Pay-Off-Date. As a result of such termination, on the Pay-Off Date, the
commercial ownership of the Pledged Stock will be assigned and transferred to
T-AG and T-AG shall have full and sole ownership of the Pledged Stock since
T-AG’s present possession on behalf of the Borrower (based on the
fiduciary/trust-agreement) shall be converted or transitioned into a proprietary
possession as of the Pay-Off Date. Promptly following the Pay-Off Date, T-AG
shall notify Commerzbank AG, as the deposit bank, of the transactions described
herein. The parties acknowledge and agree that proof of payment or offsetting of
the Pay Off Amount is not necessary for the validity of the notification and the
transfer of ownership.

Further Assurances. Each Borrowing Party further agrees, at any time after the
Pay-Off Date, upon the request of the Lender or T-AG, to do, execute,
acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and
delivered, all such further acts, assignments, transfers and assurances as may
be required to carry out the terms and conditions of this letter. The Lender and
T-AG likewise agree, at any time after the Pay-Off Date, upon the request of a
Borrowing Party, to do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done,
executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further acts, assignments,
transfers and assurances as may be required to carry out the terms and
conditions of this letter.

Delaware, except for the section of this letter titled Termination of

Republic of Germany, including without limitation, the German Law of Property.

No Waiver. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a
modification, amendment or waiver of any term or condition of the Loan Agreement
or the other Loan Documents. This letter supersedes the terms and conditions of
the Lender’s letter to the Borrower dated August 25, 2006, which earlier letter
shall be deemed null and void.

Termination of this Letter. The obligations of the Lender under this letter are
subject to the condition that the Pay-Off Date shall occur at or before 5:00
p.m. New York time on September 6, 2006, unless such date and time are extended

letter shall automatically terminate and the parties shall have no obligations
hereunder.
