    Re:    
      Trulite, Inc./Jelco, Inc. Consulting Agreement

    April
      25,
      2006

    

        
      Thank you for the confidence that you have shown Jelco, Inc. (Jelco) by agreeing
      to hire us to assist you in the going public and capital raising process for
      Trulite, Inc. (Trulite). My understanding of the terms of our agreement is
      as
      follows:

    

    

    	1)  	
            Trulite
              desires to go public through the filing of a Form 10SB with the SEC
              followed by the filing of a Form 15C-211 with NASDAQ in order to permit
              its stock to trade on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board. The 10SB has been
              filed
              and been declared Effective. The 15C-211 will be filed in the immediate
              future. Jelco will assist Trulite with identifying an NASD member firm
              to
              make this filing and will coordinate the effort until it is completed.
              

          

    	2)  	
            Trulite
              seeks to raise Bridge Capital to see it through its larger financing
              which
              will take place as soon as possible after the stock is trading. Jelco
              will
              assist Trulite in raising this capital by introducing certain parties
              that
              may help Trulite in the public markets. 

          

    	3)  	
            Trulite
              desires to file a Form SB-2 registration statement with the SEC. Jelco
              will coordinate with Trulite and its professionals until the filing
              is
              declared Effective.

          

    	4)  	
            Trulite
              desires to raise significant capital in the public markets as soon
              as
              possible after the SB-2 is declared Effective. Jelco will assist Trulite
              in this endeavor by introducing the Company to NASD Member Firms who
              might
              have an interest in raising this money.

          

    	5)  	
            It
              is anticipated that Trulite’s capital requirements will be on-going. Jelco
              will continue to assist Trulite in its search for capital through NASD
              Member Firms.

          

    	6)  	
            Jelco
              will be available to the management of Trulite on an “As- Needed” basis
              for general consulting advice throughout this
              process.

          

    	7)  	
            The
              length of this commitment shall be two years from execution of this
              agreement.

          

    

    In
      exchange for its efforts Jelco shall receive the following
      compensation:

    

    	1)  	
            50,000
              shares of Trulite’s restricted common stock which shall be included in
              Trulite’s currently anticipated SB-2
              filing.

          

    	2)  	
            150,000
              5-Year warrants to purchase Trulite’s common stock at a strike price of
              $3. The shares underlying these warrants shall be included in currently
              anticipated registration statement.

          

    	3)  	
            Jelco
              shall be responsible for all of its own reasonable and customary expenses
              including but not limited to travel, entertainment, lodging and
              communications. 

          

    	4)  	
            Jelco
              shall serve Trulite as a consultant and not as an officer, director
              or
              employee. 

          

    

        
      I look forward to continuing to work with you on this exciting project. If
      this
      memorandum accurately reflects your understanding of our agreement please
      indicate by signing below.

              of
              this Agreement.
