              Memorandum
      of Agreement Relating to

            


    

    The Exchange of Shares for
Certain Assets

     

     

    Ladies
and Gentlemen:

     

    The
purpose of this memorandum of agreement is to confirm the principal terms of the
agreement among Cascade Technologies Corp, a Wyoming corporation (“Cascade”), Spectral
Molecular Imaging, Inc., a Nevada corporation which does business as Optical
Molecular Imaging, Inc. (“Optical”), and the
principal shareholders of Optical, in which Cascade or a newly formed subsidiary
of Cascade (as applicable, the “Company”) would
acquire in a share exchange (the “Exchange”) with the
shareholders (the “Holders”) of Optical
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Optical (the “Optical Stock”), in
consideration of the issuance or transfer of certain shares of preferred stock
and common stock of Cascade to the Holders.  In the Exchange, the
Company will agree to issue to the Holders 10,000,000 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”)
and 14,678,710 shares of common stock, no par value (“Common Stock”) of
Cascade.  Each share of Series A Preferred will initially be
convertible into 10 shares of Common Stock of Cascade.  The closing
(the “Closing”)
of the Exchange will occur as soon as practicable after the date hereof, and in
any event within five business days of the date when all conditions to the
Closing have been satisfied or waived.  We currently expect to
consummate the Closing on or about December 18, 2009.

     

    We have
agreed to use our mutual commercially reasonable best efforts to negotiate,
sign, and deliver definitive agreements approved by our respective Boards of
Directors which will set forth in detail our agreed transactions, upon the
following principal terms and conditions:

      Preferred”) at a price of $.50 per share upon the filing of
      Articles of Amendment Setting forth the Designation, Rights and

    This
memorandum of agreement evidences the present mutual intention of the parties
hereto and is intended to be legally binding to the extent provided
herein.  The transactions contemplated herein may be terminated only
as provided herein or in a writing signed by Cascade and Optical.

     

    This
memorandum of agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each
such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all of such
counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

     

    By their
execution hereof, each of Cascade and Optical, for itself and on behalf of the
majority shareholders of Optical (each a “party”), acknowledges
to and agrees with the other parties that in the exercise of the several rights
granted to each party pursuant to this memorandum of agreement, a party, and/or
officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, agents or
representatives, may become familiar with or aware of certain Confidential
Information (as such

    term is
hereinafter defined) disclosed by another party or one or more of its officers,
directors, employees, shareholders, partners, agents or representatives (each of
such relationships being defined herein as an
“Affiliate”).   Accordingly, each party hereby agrees that any
and all Confidential Information disclosed or furnished to it or to any of its
Affiliates, by another party or any of its Affiliates, is and shall remain
proprietary to the disclosing party.  No party, nor any Affiliate of
such, shall have any rights to distribute or divulge any of such Confidential
Information to any third party without the disclosing party’s prior consent, or
to use any of such Confidential Information in any way detrimental to the
disclosing party or any of its Affiliates, or in any way which would otherwise
destroy, injure or impair any of the disclosing party’s or its Affiliates’
rights in or in respect of any such Confidential Information including, without
limitation, by using any of such Confidential information to solicit away from
the disclosing party any of its employees, contractors, customers or vendors or
other business relationships, or to establish or assist any person or entity
which is or will be, directly or indirectly, in competition with the disclosing
party.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential
Information” shall mean any and all proprietary information belonging to a
disclosing party, whether tangible or intangible, written or oral, including,
without limitation, any intellectual property rights, books and records,
computer software and files, lists of (or proprietary information concerning)
its customers, suppliers, vendors and other business relationships, and any
other item which may properly be classified as a protected trade
secret.  To constitute Confidential Information under this memorandum
of agreement, information shall be identified at the time of communication and
in the form of such communication (e.g., in writing if the information is
communicated in writing).  Each party expressly agrees and understands
that its agreement to abide by the provisions of this paragraph constitute a
material part of the consideration inducing the other party to enter into this
memorandum of agreement and consider the transactions contemplated herein, and
that any violation of such provisions could create immediate and irreparable
harm to the disclosing party.  In the event of any breach of the
provisions of this paragraph, the parties hereby agree that, in addition to
whatever other remedies may be available to a party, a disclosing party shall be
entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief, and each party hereby
waives any bonding or other requirement as a precursor thereto.
