Attention:        William Smith

Dear Sirs:
Re:      Offering of Special Warrants
The  undersigned,  DGM Bank & Trust Inc. (the "AGENT"),  understands that Adsero
Corp. (the "CORPORATION")  proposes to issue and sell (the "OFFERING"),  subject
to the terms and conditions set out below, up to 4,250,000 special warrants (the
"SPECIAL  WARRANTS")  at a price of US$1.00 per Special  Warrant (the  "PURCHASE
PRICE"), for maximum gross proceeds of US$4,250,000.  The proceeds of the Second
Offering (as subsequently defined) will be held in escrow pending the closing of
the acquisition by the Corporation of Teckn-O-Laser Global Inc.

Upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,  the  Corporation
hereby appoints the Agent to act as the Corporation's  exclusive Agent to effect
the sale of the Special Warrants under the Offering, and the Agent hereby agrees
to act as the agent of the Corporation for such purposes and to effect such sale
of the Special  Warrants on its behalf on a best efforts basis to Purchasers (as
hereinafter  defined) of the Special Warrants resident in the United States, the
Canadian  Offering  Jurisdictions  (as  hereinafter  defined)  or in those other
jurisdictions  outside of Canada where the Special Warrants may be lawfully sold
pursuant to the terms and  conditions  hereof.  Sale of the Special  Warrants to
Purchasers who are resident in the United States, if any, will only occur in the
Second Offering (as  hereinafter  defined) and will be made solely to accredited
investors in compliance  with Rule 5.06 of Regulation D under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and all sales of the Special Warrants to Purchasers who are
not resident in the United States will be made in compliance  with  Regulation S
under the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended.  It is understood and agreed that
the  Agent is under no  obligation  to  purchase  any of the  Special  Warrants,
although the Agent may subscribe for Special Warrants if it so desires.

The Offering shall be comprised of a first offering  consisting of up to 750,000
Special Warrants (the "FIRST  OFFERING") and a second offering  consisting of up
to 3,500,000  Special Warrants (the "SECOND  OFFERING").  In the First Offering,
each Special Warrant is exercisable, for no additional consideration, to receive
one A unit  ("A  UNIT").  Each A Unit  consists  of one  share of  common  stock
(US$.001 par value) in the capital of the Corporation (a "COMMON SHARE") and one
common share  purchase  warrant  (each whole common share  purchase  warrant,  a
"WARRANT") of the Corporation.  In the Second Offering,  each Special Warrant is
exercisable, for no additional consideration,  to receive one B Unit ("B UNIT").
Each B Unit consists of one Common Share and one-half of a Warrant. Each Warrant
will  entitle the holder to purchase  one Common  Share at a price of US$1.50 at
any time  prior  to 5:00  p.m.  (eastern  standard  time)  on the  date  that is
twenty-four  (24) months from the First Closing Date (as  hereinafter  defined).
The Special Warrants shall be exercisable by the holder at any time on or before
5:00 p.m.  (eastern  standard  time) on the date (the "EXPIRY  DATE") that is 30
days following the First Closing Date.  Special  Warrants that are not exercised
prior to 5:00 p.m.  (eastern  standard  time) on the Expiry  Date will be deemed
exercised immediately prior thereto without any further action by the holder.

            registered  dealers and brokers,  the Special Warrants in the United
            States,   the  Canadian   Offering   Jurisdictions   and  any  other
            jurisdiction in which the Special Warrants or Underlying  Securities
            shall be offered or sold;  and (iii) all other matters in connection

            subject to  subparagraph 2 (b), and the gross proceeds raised by the
            Corporation  from the date  hereof up to and  including  the  Second

            thereof  as   elected  by  the  Agent  in  written   notice  to  the
            Corporation. The obligation of the Corporation to pay the Commission
            shall arise at the Closing and the Commission  shall be fully earned

      (b)   PRESIDENT'S  LIST.  The  Corporation  acknowledges  that  an  amount
            equivalent to the cash component of the Commission  will be withheld
            from the proceeds of the Offering in respect of the Commission.  The
            Corporation  and the Agent  will agree  upon a  president's  list of
            investors that will include management and existing  shareholders as
            set out in Schedule "A" to this Agency  Agreement (the  "PRESIDENT'S
            LIST"). If any person on the President's List subscribes for Special
            Warrants,  the Commission shall be reduced to 5% with respect to the
            amount of such subscription.  The Corporation  reserves the right to
            add  persons  to the  President's  List  until the  Second  Offering
            Closing Date and all such  additions  will be submitted to the Agent
            in writing at the time of effecting such additions.

      (c)   BROKER WARRANTS. The Corporation shall issue to the Agent at Closing
            that number of Special  Warrants that is equal to 10% of the Special
            Warrants sold in each of the First Offering and the Second  Offering
            (the "BROKER WARRANTS").

      (d)   WORK FEE.  Provided that  aggregate  gross proceeds of not less than
            US$500,000 are realized by the Corporation in respect of the sale of
            the Special  Warrants in the First Offering,  the Corporation  shall
            issue to the Agent  100,000  Common  Shares  on the  First  Offering
            Closing Date.

      (e)   BREAK  FEE.  The  Corporation  shall  pay  to  the  Agent  a fee  of
            US$212,500,   together   with  all  of  the  Agent's   expenses  and
            disbursements  if the  Corporation  decides not to proceed  with the
            Offering,  except  where the  decision  not to proceed  is  directly
            related to the gross  negligence or  malfeasance of the Agent or due
            to Agent's failure to raise gross proceeds of US$4,250,000 inclusive
            of proceeds raised from President's List subscribers.

3. FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL - FUTURE  FINANCINGS.  Provided that  aggregate  gross
proceeds of at least  US$750,000  are realized by the  Corporation in respect of
the sale of the Special  Warrants,  the  Corporation  shall grant to the Agent a
right of first refusal to act as lead agent or  underwriter or lead advisor with
respect to any  offering of  securities  or any  acquisitions,  dispositions  or
takeovers,  where  the  Corporation  is the  acquiror  or the  target,  where an
investment dealer or advisor is involved or proposes to be involved,  during the
period ending 24 months after the Second Offering  Closing Date. The Agent shall
have a period of ten (10) days from the date of receipt of written  notice  from
the Corporation of any such proposed  financing or transaction,  in which notice
the Corporation  shall set forth in reasonable detail the terms of such proposed
offering or transaction,  to provide written notice to the Corporation  that the
Agent intends to exercise its right of first refusal. If the Agent does not give
written  notice  within  such ten (10) day  period,  it shall be  deemed to have
waived its right in respect of such  transaction.  Should the Agent fail,  or be
deemed  to fail,  to give  notice  within  ten (10) days of the  receipt  of the
Corporation's notice, the Corporation may then make other arrangements to engage
another source to obtain  financing or advice on terms no less favourable to the
Corporation  than as set out in the  written  notice  for a period of sixty (60)
days  thereafter.  The Agent's waiver of its right in respect of any one or more
transactions  will not  constitute  a waiver  of its right of first  refusal  in
respect of any other transaction.  If another party is not engaged in connection
with a transaction  where the Agent waives or is deemed to have waived its right
of first refusal within sixty (60) days following the date on which the ten (10)
day period set forth above expires,  the transaction shall be deemed to be a new
transaction requiring the Corporation to give written notice to the Agent as set
forth above.

            Corporation  represents  and  warrants  to  the  Agent  and  to  the

            Underlying  Securities  may be offered or sold,  provided,  however,
            that this  indemnity  shall not apply to the extent  that a court of
            competent   jurisdiction   in  a  final  judgment  that  has  become
            non-appealable shall determine that:

      an Indemnified  Party has been  negligent or dishonest or has committed
            any fraudulent act or engaged in wilful  misconduct in the course of
            such  performance  or has breached  any  material  provision of this
            Agreement; and

      the expenses,  losses,  claims,  damages  or  liabilities,  as to  which
            indemnification   is  claimed   were   caused  by  the   negligence,
            dishonesty, fraud, wilful misconduct or material breach of Agreement
            referred to in clause (i).

                                       20

The Corporation  hereby agrees to waive any right it may have of first requiring
the Agent and/or any Indemnified  Person to proceed against or enforce any other
right,  power,  remedy,  security or claim  payment from any other person before
claiming under this indemnity.

      NOTIFICATION  OF  CLAIMS.   Promptly   after  receipt  of  notice  of  the
            commencement of any legal proceeding against an Indemnified Party or
            after  receipt of notice of the  commencement  of any  investigation
            which is based,  directly or indirectly,  upon any matter in respect
            of which  indemnification  may be sought from the  Corporation,  the
            Indemnified  Party  will  notify the  Corporation  in writing of the
            commencement   thereof  and  the  Corporation  shall  undertake  the
            investigation  and  defence  thereof  on behalf  of the  Indemnified
            Party,  as  applicable,  including the prompt  employment of counsel
            reasonably  acceptable to the  Indemnified  Party and the payment of
            all  reasonable  expenses.  Failure  by an  Indemnified  Party to so
            notify the  Corporation  shall not  relieve the  Corporation  of its
            obligation  of  indemnification  hereunder  unless  (and only to the
            extent that) such failure  results in forfeiture by the  Corporation
            or material  impairment of its substantive  rights or defences.  The
            Corporation  shall,  throughout the course of any  investigation  as
            contemplated herein, provide copies of all relevant documentation to
            the Indemnified  Party,  will keep the Indemnified  Party advised of
            the progress thereof and will discuss with the Indemnified Party all
            significant  actions  proposed.  No admission  of  liability  and no
            settlement  of any action  shall be made  without the prior  written
            consent of the Corporation and the Indemnified  Party,  such consent
            not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

      RIGHT OF  INDEMNITY IN FAVOUR OF OTHERS.  With respect to any  Indemnified
            Party who is not a party to this  Agreement,  the Agent shall obtain
            and hold the rights and benefits of this paragraph 0 and paragraph 0
            in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

      RETAININGCOUNSEL. Notwithstanding that the Corporation shall undertake the
            investigation  and defence of any action, an Indemnified Party shall
            have the right to employ  separate  counsel  in any such  action and
            participate  in the defence  thereof,  but the fees and  expenses of
            such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:
            (a)   employment  of  such  counsel  has  been   authorized  by  the
            Corporation;  (b) the Corporation shall not have assumed the defence
            of the action  within a  reasonable  period of time after  receiving
            notice of the  action;  (c) the  named  parties  to any such  action
            include  both  the  Corporation  and an  Indemnified  Party  and the
            Indemnified  Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may
            be a conflict of interest  between the  Corporation  and Indemnified
            Party,  as the  case  may be;  or (d)  there  are one or more  legal
            defences  available to the Indemnified Part which are different from
            or in addition to those available to the Corporation.

            The Corporation  agrees that in case: (i) any legal proceeding shall
            be brought  against the Corporation  and/or an Indemnified  Party by
            any  governmental  commission or  regulatory  authority or any stock
            exchange;  or (ii) an entity  having  regulatory  authority,  either
            domestic or foreign,  shall  investigate the  Corporation  and/or an
            Indemnified  Party,  and any Indemnified  Party shall be required to
            testify in  connection  therewith or shall be required to respond to
            procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection
            with,  or by  reason of the  performance  of  professional  services
            rendered  to  the   Corporation  by  the  Indemnified   Party,   the
            Indemnified  Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in
            connection  therewith,  and the reasonable fees and expenses of such
            counsel  as well as the  reasonable  costs  (including  an amount to
            reimburse the  Indemnified  Party for time spent by the  Indemnified
            Party in  connection  therewith  on a per diem basis based on normal
            consulting  fees)  and   out-of-pocket   expenses  incurred  by  the
            Indemnified  Party  in  connection  therewith  shall  be paid by the
            Corporation as they occur.

                                       21

      13.   (e)  CONTRIBUTION.  In order  to  provide  for a just and  equitable
            contribution  in  circumstances  in which the indemnity  provided in
            paragraph 0 would  otherwise  be available  in  accordance  with its
            terms but is, for any reason  (other than the  occurrence  of any of
            the events set out in paragraph  (a)(i) or (ii)  above),  held to be
            unavailable  to  or  unenforceable   by  an  Indemnified   Party  or
            enforceable  otherwise  than  in  accordance  with  its  terms,  the
            Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall severally  contribute to
            the aggregate of all claims, expenses, costs and liabilities and all
            losses  (other  than loss of profits)  of a nature  contemplated  in
            paragraph 0 in such  proportions  as is  appropriate  to reflect not
            only the relative  benefits  received by the  Corporation on the one
            hand and the  Indemnified  Party  on the  other  hand,  but also the
            relative fault of the Corporation and the Indemnified Party, as well
            as any other relevant equitable considerations. An Indemnified Party
            shall not in any event be liable to  contribute,  in the  aggregate,
            any amounts in excess of such  aggregate  fee or any portion of such
            fee actually received by the Agent.

      RIGHT OF  CONTRIBUTION  AND  INDEMNITY  IN ADDITION TO OTHER  RIGHTS.  The
            rights to  contribution  and indemnity  provided in this paragraph 0
            and paragraph 0 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any
            other right to contribution or indemnity which an Indemnified  Party
            may have by statute or  otherwise  at law and shall be binding  upon
            and  enure to the  benefit  of any  successors,  assigns,  heirs and
            personal  representations  of the  Corporation  and any  Indemnified
            Party.

      CALCULATION OF CONTRIBUTION. In the event that the Corporation may be held
            to be entitled to  contribution  from the Agent under the provisions
            of any  statute  or at law,  the  Corporation  shall be  limited  to
            contribution in an amount not exceeding the lesser of:

      the portion of the full amount of the loss or  liability  giving rise to
            such contribution for which the Agent is responsible,  as determined
            in subparagraph (a) above; and

      the amount of the aggregate fee actually  received by the Agent from the
            Corporation under this Agreement.

                                       22
<PAGE>

      NOTICE. If an  Indemnified  Party has reason to  believe  that a claim for
            contribution may arise, it shall give the Corporation notice of such
            claim in writing,  as soon as  reasonably  possible,  but failure to
            notify the  Corporation  shall not  relieve the  Corporation  of any
            obligation  which it may have to the  Indemnified  Party  under this
            paragraph.

14. ADVERTISEMENTS.  The Corporation  acknowledges that the Agent shall have the
right,  subject  always to clauses  0(a) and (d) of this  Agreement,  at its own
expense,  to place such advertisement or advertisements  relating to the sale of
the  Special  Warrants  or  the  Underlying   Securities   contemplated   herein

may consider desirable or appropriate and as may be permitted by applicable law.
The  Corporation and the Agent each agree that they will not make or publish any
advertisement in any media whatsoever relating to, or otherwise  publicize,  the
transaction  provided  for  herein  so as to result  in any  exemption  from the
prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities legislation in
any of the Canadian  Offering  Jurisdictions or any other  jurisdiction in which
the Special  Warrants or  Underlying  Securities  shall be offered or sold being
unavailable  in  respect  of the  sale of the  Special  Warrant  to  prospective
purchasers.

Ozone Park, New York

                             SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

     High-Rise Electric, Inc., a Delaware corporation with a place of business
at 11-30 47th Avenue, Long Island City, NY 11101 (the "Borrower"), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to the order of Gary Segal, an individual with
offices at 101-32 101st Street, Ozone Park, New York 11416 (the "Holder") on the
due date set forth below, or on such earlier date as set forth below (in either
event, the "Maturity Date"), the principal sum of TWO MILLION DOLLARS
($2,000,000.00) (the "Principal Amount"), with interest thereon at the rate of
5.5% per annum (equal to one point above the prime rate as announced by Citibank
on the date hereof) and adjusted on the first day of each month commencing
October 1, 2004 to one point above the then prime rate. All payments hereunder
shall be made at the offices of the Holder, in such coin or currency which shall
constitute legal tender of the United States. In the event that for any reason
whatsoever any interest or other consideration payable with respect to this Note
shall be deemed to be usurious by a court of competent jurisdiction under the
laws of the State of New York or the laws of any other state governing the
repayment hereof, then so much of such interest or other consideration as shall
be deemed to be usurious shall be held by the Holder as security for the
repayment of the principal amount hereof and shall otherwise be waived.

1.       DUE DATE; INTEREST, PRIORITY OF PAYMENT; REDUCTION IN PRINCIPAL AMOUNT.

     (a) The Principal Amount shall be due and payable, along with all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, by no later than seventy-five (75) days after
written notice is given from the Holder to the Borrower demanding payment,
provided, however, that such written notice may not be given prior to thirty
days from the date of this Note.

     (b) Interest shall commence accruing on the date hereof, and shall be due
and payable monthly commencing on October 1, 2004 and on the first (1st) day of
each and every month thereafter until the Principal Amount is paid in full.

     (c) Any payments hereunder will be applied in the following order of
priority: first to the payment of any fees, expenses or other costs the Borrower
is obligated to pay hereunder; next to any accrued and unpaid interest due and
owing by the Borrower to the Holder and then to the unpaid principal balance of
this Note.

     (d) Borrower shall have the right to prepay this Note, in whole or in part,
at any time without penalty, but shall label each such payment as a prepayment.

<PAGE>

2.       PAYMENT OF COSTS AND EXPENSES.

     The Borrower shall pay all direct costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and all expenses and disbursements of
counsel, in connection with the enforcement, after the occurrence of an Event of
Default (as such term is defined below) hereunder, following the expiration of
any notice and cure period expressly provided for herein, of any of the Holder's
rights against the Borrower under this Note (whether or not suit is instituted
by or against the Holder).

3.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

     (a) The Principal Amount and all interest thereon accrued and unpaid shall
immediately become due and payable upon written demand made by the Holder if one
or more of the following events, herein called "Events of Default," shall occur:

          (1)  Default in the payment of the principal or interest on this Note,
               when the same shall become due and payable, whether by
               acceleration or otherwise;

          (2)  Default in the due observance or performance of any covenant,
               condition or agreement (other than as set forth in (1) above) on
               the part of (i) the Borrower to be observed or performed pursuant
               to the terms hereof or the terms of the Security Agreement
               delivered in connection herewith, or (ii) DualStar Technologies
               Corporation to be observed or performed pursuant to the terms of
               the Guarantee or the Pledge delivered in connection herewith, and
               the failure to cure such breach within any expressly specified
               cure period provided herewith or therewith or, if no such cure
               period exists, within ten (10) days after notice thereof from
               Holder to Borrower;

          (3)  one or more final judgments or decrees (or demands from sureties
               or labor unions (other than notices from labor unions for payroll
               and/or employee benefits in the ordinary course of business and
               within the time allowed under the collective bargaining
               agreement)) shall be entered (or demanded) against Borrower
               involving in the aggregate a liability (not paid or fully covered
               by insurance) of $400,000 or more;

          (4)  Application for, or consent to, the appointment of a receiver,
               trustee or liquidator for the Borrower or its property;

          (5)  Admission in writing of the Borrower's inability to pay its debts

of law principles thereof).

     (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower hereby waives
presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in
connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement
hereof. No delay or omission on the part of the Holder in exercising or
enforcing any of its right, powers, privileges or remedies hereunder
(collectively, "Rights") shall operate as a waiver thereof, and a waiver of any
Rights on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any

     (c) In the event that any court having jurisdiction shall determine that
any covenant or other provision contained in this Note shall be unreasonable or
unenforceable in any respect, then such covenant or other provision shall be
deemed limited to the extent that such court deems it reasonable and
enforceable, and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect. In the
event that such court shall deem any such covenant or other provision wholly
unenforceable, the remaining covenants and other provisions of this Note shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

     (d) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Note shall be
brought in the courts of New York State, County of Nassau, or of the United

its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts. Each of the Borrower and the Holder hereby knowingly, voluntarily,
intentionally and irrevocably waives, in connection with any such action or
proceeding: (1) any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to
the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it
may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in
such respective jurisdictions and (2) to the maximum extent not prohibited by
law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation
directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Note.
Each of the Borrower and the Holder irrevocably consents to the service of
process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by
the mailing of copies thereof in the manner provided in paragraph (f) of this
Section 4.
