Dear
      Sirs:





**Subject:****Teaming
      Arrangement**




Further
      to our recent discussions, the purpose of this letter is to set out the various
      terms and conditions on which Plasma Environmental Technologies Inc. (“PET”) and
      Astris Energi Inc. (“Astris”) have agreed to promote certain intellectual
      property and business contacts for their mutual benefit.




**1.**
              **Background**




Astris
      is
      a research and development company which designs and develops hydrogen fuelled
      electric power generating systems based on alkaline fuel cell (“AFC”) technology
      for use in stationary, portable and transportation applications.




PET
      develops and markets plasma-based systems for the safe and cost-effective
      destruction of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. PET holds the rights to
      a
      plasma-assisted gasifier (“PAG”) technology which allows for the destruction of
      municipal solid wastes and converts them into a clean syngas. One of the
      off-gases created in this process is hydrogen.




**2.**
              **Objective**




The
      objectives of this Agreement are to establish the relationship and to set
      certain understandings between PET and Astris in respect of:




(a)
              ‘*Stage
                  1*’
                  -
                  the evaluation, development and testing of the gases produced in
                  the PAG
                  waste destruction process to determine what technology or similar
                  changes
                  are required to establish the production of appropriately pure
                  hydrogen
                  gas for use in Astris’ hydrogen fuel cell systems; and the demonstration
                  of the PAG technology to produce such gas for such purpose;
                  and











(b)
              *‘Stage
                  2’*-
                  following Stage 1, select a PAG installation site or sites for
                  a
                  demonstration/pilot project to further evaluate, under real-world
                  conditions, the applicability of an installation as proposed in
                  Stage 1;
                  it is expected that such an installation would be sponsored and
                  funding
                  would be sought from appropriate stakeholders including special
                  interest
                  groups, private/public companies and local, provincial and federal
                  governments; and




(c)
              ‘*Stage
                  3*’
                  -
                  the exploitation of certain business and similar contacts of PET;
                  it being
                  the expectation of PET and Astris that the introduction of such
                  contacts
                  by PET to Astris will result in contracts for services being entered
                  into
                  between Astris and third parties who wish to avail themselves of
                  Astris’
                  technology and products; and in particular, such business contacts
                  may
                  wish to make use of the PAG technology and in so doing see an opportunity
                  to also use Astris’ hydrogen fuelled electric power generating
                  systems.




**3.**
              **Stage
                  1**




(a)
              Obligations
                  of PET




PET
      shall
      evaluate, develop and test the gases produced in the PAG waste destruction
      process to determine what technology or similar changes are required to
      establish the production of appropriately pure hydrogen gas to be used in Astris
      fuel cell systems.




(b)
              Obligations
                  of Astris




Astris
      shall provide input and feedback on predicted or tested hydrogen purity as
      it
      relates to usage in its hydrogen fuel cell systems.




**4.**
              **Stage
                  2**




(a)
              Obligations
                  of PET




PET
      shall
      select a PAG installation site or sites for a demonstration/pilot project to
      further evaluate, under real-world conditions the applicability, of an
      installation as proposed in Stage 1.




(b)
              Obligations
                  of Astris




Astris
      shall support and make available current marketing literature and in some cases
      samples of its technology on a best effort basis and as it deems appropriate
      to
      facilitate access to funding for demonstration projects selected by PET.

      with
      any of the contacts introduced to Astris by PET. The amount of such commission
      and the terms of payment thereof shall be as mutually agreed to by the parties
      from time to time. For these purposes, “contracts” includes all agreements,
      contracts, commitments and all other rights of or relating to the business
