Dear Mr. Parsons,

The purpose of this letter is to affirm James B. Parsons
("Advisor") the appointment by the Board of Directors to act as legal advisor to
Empyrean Communications, Inc. ("Empyrean" or "Company") in connection with
Company issues relating to SEC filing requirements, corporate documents,
acquisition documents and other matters as may relate to corporate legal
concerns. The board also confirms that the Advisor is being retained hereunder
by and solely for the benefit of the Board of Empyrean and not by any third
parties, including the Company's shareholders. In connection with our engagement
the Advisor will provide the following services:

(a) will provide advice to the Board, from time to time as
    it may request, on matters relating to corporate legal matters, in
    particular as they apply to securities issues and filing requirements.
    However, none of the compensation paid hereunder will be used to pay for
    fees and cost incurred with the filing of any registration statement with
    the Securities and Exchange Commission; 

    (b) if requested by the Board, Advisor will assist the Board
    with the following:

    

    (i) an evaluation of the company legal status;

        (ii) directed work as appropriate for the further
        development of appropriate legal structures as related to acquisitions
        and joint ventures; and 

        (iii) such other legal advice to the Board directly
        related to industry standards and structures as described above and as
        may reasonably be requested by Board.

        

      
    
  

1. The Opinions will be prepared in accordance with the
professional judgment of the Advisor and will comply with applicable securities
law requirements. The Advisor and its counsel will discuss with the Board and
its counsel policy requirements before delivering the Opinions. Any advice or
opinions (including the Opinions) to be provided by us hereunder will be made
subject to and will be based upon such limitations, qualifications and
reservations as the Advisor, in his judgment, deems necessary or prudent in the
circumstances. 

2. None of the Opinions or any of our other oral or written
opinions or advice, (including the contents of any materials provided by the
Advisor and any oral or written presentation to the Board made by the Advisor)
in connection with this engagement is to be used, reproduced, published or
distributed in whole or in part to any third party without the prior written
consent of the Advisor (except as required by applicable securities law
requirements and then only after consultation with the Advisor). Such consent
will extend only to the disclosure of the specific Opinion in the particular
document as described in the consent, and will not extend to any subsequent
disclosure in any other document needed for circulation. Any document prepared
by or on behalf of the Board will be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Advisor and its counsel and will be provided to the Advisor and its counsel for
review. 

3. You and the Board further acknowledge that you and the Board,
respectively, will use your best efforts to ensure that all information
concerning the Company and the candidate will be provided to us, directly or
indirectly, orally or in writing, by you or your respective agents and advisors
in connection with the Opinions will be accurate and complete in all material
respects and will not be misleading in any material respect. 

4. In connection with the performance of legal advisory services
hereunder, Advisor will keep confidential and will use only for the purpose of
performing the services described herein all information, whether written or
oral, acquired from the Board and the Company in connection with our work
hereunder, except: (i) information which was available to the public prior to
the engagement or which thereafter becomes available to the public other than
through a breach by parties of obligations hereunder; (ii) information which was
known to Advisor prior to the engagement; and (iii) information which Advisor is
required to disclose by law (including applicable securities law requirements)
or in connection with legal process or legal or regulatory proceedings.
Advisor's obligation under this section will survive the completion of this
engagement. 

5. The Company will provide to Advisor current drafts and final
copies, as soon as they become available, of all disclosure documents filed or
to be filed by or on behalf of the Company. However, the Advisor will have no
responsibility for the form or content of the documentation, other than with
respect to the Opinions or summaries thereof, and the description of our
services undertaken pursuant to the terms of this engagement letter. Advisor
will be entitled at any time to withdraw, amend or supplement the Opinions in
the event that Advisor reasonably concludes that there has been a material
change in the factors upon which such Opinions are based and that, accordingly,
there has been a material change in the Valuation following the dates thereof
and prior to the completion of the acquisition. 

6. In consideration for our services hereunder, the Company will
pay the Advisor one million (1,000,000) shares of free-trading Empyrean stock.

7. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Advisor, to the
full extent permitted by law, harmless from and against any and all losses,
claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, liabilities or expenses of
whatsoever nature or kind (collectively, "Losses"), to which an Indemnified
Party may become subject by reason of the performance of professional services
rendered hereunder. 

8. If Advisor is requested to perform services in addition to
those described above, the terms and conditions relating to such services will
be outlined in a separate letter agreement and the fees for such services will
be negotiated separate and in good faith and will be consistent with fees paid
for similar services. 

9. The term of this agreement will be for a period beginning as
of the date of your acceptance of this Agreement and ending on October 9, 2004.

10. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. 

11. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement will not affect the validity or unenforceability of any other
provisions of this Agreement. 

12. The Agreement resulting from acceptance of this letter
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the
services described herein and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings
made between the parties with respect thereto. No modification or amendment to
this Agreement will be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly
executed by the parties hereto. 

If the foregoing correctly reflects the basis upon which the
Company agrees to retain the Advisor, please sign and return one copy of this
Agreement to us.

provided.

In order to assist the Consultant with his duties, the Company
will provide the Consultant with such information as may be required by the
Consultant. The Company will make available to Consultant such matters as are
reasonably necessary in order for the Consultant to carry out the Consultant's
responsibilities.

The Agreement shall be effective as of the 9th day of

of the Company's common stock.

The Company will register these shares pursuant to a

During the term of this Agreement, each party may have access to
trade secrets, know how, formulae, customer and price lists, all of which are
valuable, special, proprietary and unique assets of each. Each party agrees that
each party shall keep all of such information confidential and shall not divulge
such information either during the term of this Agreement or subsequent thereto.

At the termination of this Agreement, or at any other time,
either party may request the other party to deliver to the other, without
retaining any copies, notes or excerpts thereof, off written or transcribed or
pictorial or graphic information made by or compiled by, or delivered or made
available to or otherwise obtained by the respective parties. However, the
foregoing provision shall not prohibit the Consultant from engaging in any work
at any time following the termination of this Agreement that does not conflict
with the terms of this Agreement.

This Agreement may be terminated for "Proper Cause" prior to the
expiration of its stated term in the sole and absolute discretion of either
party. As used in this Agreement, "Proper Cause" shall be limited to a
conviction of civil or criminal fraud, whether a felony or a misdemeanor. Such
termination shall not prejudice any other remedy to which either party may be
entitled either at law, in equity or under this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice or other
communication to any party pursuant to or relating to this Agreement and the
transactions provided for herein shall be deemed to have been given or delivered

other address as may be designated by either party in writing, pursuant to this
provision.

each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it
shall not be necessary, in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account
for more than one counterpart. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as
creating a joint venture or partnership arrangement between Consultant and the
Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have subscribed their
hands on the day and year first written above.
