This Finder’s Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of December 28, 2009, as per

corporation (the “Company”), and Sutter Securities Incorporated, a California
corporation (the “ Finder”). The Finder and the Company agree:

1.

Engagement of Finder: The Company hereby engages the Finder, and the Finder
hereby accepts such engagement, to act as the Company’s Finder with respect to
sales by the Company in a private placement transaction (the “Offering”) of up
to $7 million aggregate principal amount of equity, equity-related or debt
securities (the “Securities”) of the Company to “accredited investors” during
the term of this Agreement as set forth in Section 5 on a “best efforts” basis.

2.

Offering Procedures: The Finder will introduce the Company to potential
investors whom the Finder reasonably believes to be “accredited investors,” (the
“Offerees”) as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act”).

3.

Finder’s Compensation: Subject to all regulatory and board approvals as may be
required, in consideration for the services rendered by the Finder hereunder,
the Company shall pay to the Finder, or cause the Finder to be paid,
compensation as provided in this Section within three days of the Company’s
receipt of funds from the Offerees.

a.

Cash Compensation: The Company shall pay to the Finder cash compensation equal
to five percent (5%) of the gross Offering funds received for “Securities” in
the Offering from Offerees introduced to the Company by the finder.

b.

Warrants: The Finder shall receive warrant compensation equal to seven percent
(7%) of the gross Offering funds received for “Securities” in the Offering from
Offerees introduced to the Company by the Finder. The warrant’s strike shall
equal the strike, expiration and registration rights of any warrants received by
Offerees in the Offering and have the same terms as that.  If the Offering does
not provide for the issuance of warrants, then the warrants issued to the Finder
shall have a strike price equal to 120% of the volume weighted average price of

adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events.  

If, at any time prior to one year following the end of the Offering (the “Term”)
the Company directly or indirectly sells, in a private transaction, any type of
security to an investor introduced to the Company by the Finder during the Term,
the Company shall pay the Finder the compensation to which it would be entitled
under Section 3(a) and 3(b) if the transaction had occurred during the Term.

construed to create any employment, partnership, joint venture, or other
relationship between the Finder and the Company.  The Finder will not hold
itself out as having, and will not state to any person that the Finder has any
relationship with the Company other than as an independent contractor. The
Finder shall have no right or power to find or create any liability or
obligation for or in the name of the Company or to sign any documents on behalf
of the Company.

Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or the Finder may terminate
this Agreement following ninety (90) days after the date hereof upon written

negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection with the Offering, any
violation by the indemnifying party (not caused by an Indemnified Person) of
Federal or State securities laws in connection with the Offering, or any breach

proceeding shall be threatened or be brought against any Indemnified Person
under this Section, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the

party’s choice at its expense (in which case the indemnifying party shall not be
responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by such
Indemnified Person, except in the limited circumstances described below in this
Section); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to
assume the defense of such litigation or proceeding (a) such Indemnified Person
shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the
defense of such litigation or proceeding, and (b) the indemnifying party shall
bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of separate counsel if (but only
