consideration to be received by the Company is contingent upon future
performance of the Company's operations (e.g. revenues or income), the portion

offering or act as advisor on any private financing (debt or equity) merger,
business combination, recapitalization or sale of some or all of the equity or
assets of the Company (collectively, "Future Services"). In the event the
Company notifies Sutro of its intention to pursue an activity that would
enable Sutro to exercise its right of first refusal to provide Future
Services, Sutro shall notify the Company of its election to provide such
Future Services, including notification of the compensation and other terms to
which Sutro claims to be entitled, within 14 days of written notice by the
Company. In the event Sutro is engaged by the Company to provide such future
services, Sutro will be compensated as is reasonable and customary within the
industry provided however, that the terms of the Indemnification Agreement
shall apply to any additional engagement.

9.  In connection with Sutro's engagement, the Company and its advisors will
furnish Sutro with all data, material, and information concerning the Company

accurate and complete in all material respects, except with respect to the
Company's financial statements which shall present fairly the financial
position of the Company, to the best of the Company's knowledge, at the time
furnished.  The Company recognizes and confirms that in advising it and in
undertaking the assignment, Sutro will be using and relying on the Information
and financial and other information furnished to Sutro by potential interested
Parties, without independent verification. Moreover, Sutro will not perform
any appraisal of the assets or businesses of the Company or any Party. Sutro
is hereby authorized to use and deliver the Information, and any other data
obtained by Sutro from reliable published sources, to prospective interested
Parties. In connection with the engagement of Sutro hereunder, the Company has
entered into a separate letter agreement, dated as of the date hereof,
providing for the indemnification of Sutro and certain related parties by the
Company (the "Indemnification Agreement").

10.  This letter agreement and the related indemnification agreement referred
to above shall be deemed made in California. Such agreements shall be governed
by the laws of the State of California, without regard to such state's rules
concerning conflicts of laws. Should suit be brought to enforce this letter
agreement or the Indemnification Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover from the other reimbursement for reasonable attorneys'
fees. Any dispute arising from the interpretation,

validity or performance of this letter agreement or any of its terms and
provisions shall be submitted to binding arbitration with the National
Association of Securities Dealers.

agreement. We look forward to working with you and to the successful
conclusion of this assignment

Sutro & Co. Incorporated
11150 Santa Monica Blvd.
Suite 1500 Los Angeles, CA 90025


In consideration of Sutro's agreement to act on behalf of Computerized Thermal
Imaging, Inc. (the "Company"), in connection with the private placement,
pursuant to the engagement letter of even date herewith (the "Engagement
Letter"), we hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sutro, its
affiliates, the respective partners, directors, officers, agents and employees
of Sutro and its affiliates and each person, if any, controlling Sutro or any
of its affiliates within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities
Act of 1933 or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (Sutro and
each such other person are hereinafter referred to as an "Indemnified
Person"), from and against any such losses, claims, damages, expenses and
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, as they may be
incurred (including all legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection
with investigating, preparing, defending, paying, settling or compromising any
claim, action, suit, proceeding, loss, damage, expense or liability, whether
or not in connection with an action in which any Indemnified Person is a named
party) to which any of them may become subject (including in settlement of any
action, suit or proceeding, if such settlement is effected with the Company's
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and which are
related to or arise out of Sutro's engagement, the transaction contemplated by
such engagement or any Indemnified Person's role in connection therewith,
including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, expenses and
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of, based upon or
caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the offering memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or in any other document of the Company furnished to any party or to Sutro in
connection with the Financing Transaction, or arising out of, based upon or
caused by any omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any
of them not misleading. The Company will not, however, be responsible under
the foregoing provisions with respect to any loss, claim, damage, expense or
liability to the extent that a court having jurisdiction shall have determined
by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) that such loss, claim,
damage, expense or liability resulted from actions taken or omitted to be
taken by Sutro due to its gross negligence or willful misconduct. All
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the same meaning as
ascribed to them in the Engagement Letter, unless the context indicates or
requires otherwise. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice
of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the Company, notify the Company of the
commencement thereof; but the omission to notify the Company will not relieve
it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise
than stated in this Indemnification Agreement.  In case any such action is
brought against any Indemnified Person, and it notifies the Company of the
commencement thereof, the Company will be entitled to participate therein and,
to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person; provided, however, that if
the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the
Company and counsel for the Indemnified Person reasonably determines there is
a conflict of interest that cannot or should not be waived, the Company shall
not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such
Indemnified Person and such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select
separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person.
After notice from the Company to such Indemnified Person of its election to
assume the defense thereof and approval by such Indemnified Person of counsel
appointed to defend such action, the

<PAGE

<PAGE>
Company will not be liable to such Indemnified Person for any legal or other
expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, incurred by such
Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof, unless: (i) the
Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the
proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in
connection with such action the Company shall not be liable for the expenses
of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one
action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances); or (ii) the
Company has authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Person at
the expense of the Company. After any notice from the Company to such
Indemnified Person,  the Company will not be liable for the costs and expenses
of any settlement of such action effected by such Indemnified Person without
the consent of the Company.

If the indemnity referred to above should be, for any reason whatsoever,
unenforceable, unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless Sutro
and each Indemnified Person in connection with the transaction, each
Indemnified Person shall be entitled to receive from the Company, and the
Company shall pay, contributions for such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) so that each Indemnified Person
ultimately bears only a portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
expenses and actions as is appropriate (i) to reflect the relative benefits
received by Sutro on the one hand and the Company on the other hand in
connection with the transaction or (ii) if the allocation on that basis is not
permitted by applicable law, to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of Sutro and the
Company in connection with the actions or omissions to act which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall
the aggregate contribution of all Indemnified Persons to all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, expenses and actions exceed the amount of the fee
actually received by Sutro pursuant to the engagement letter. The respective
relative benefits received by Sutro and the Company in connection with the
transaction shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the aggregate fee
paid to Sutro in connection with the transaction bears to the total
consideration of the transaction.  The relative fault of Sutro and the Company
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the actions
or omissions to act were by Sutro or the Company and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such action or omission to act.

The indemnity, contribution and expense payment obligations of the Company
referred to above shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may
otherwise have and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of any Indemnified
Person and the Company. The Company also agrees that the Indemnified Persons
shall have no liability to the Company or any person asserting claims on
behalf of or in right of the Company for or in connection with any matter
referred to in this letter except to the extent that any such liability
results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sutro in performing
the services that are the subject of this letter and in no event shall such
liability exceed the amount of fees actually received by Sutro hereunder.

                              Very truly yours,

                              COMPUTERIZED THERMAL IMAGING, INC.
