Ocean Park Advisors, LLC
5710 Crescent Park East, Suite #334

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          In connection with the sale, assignment, and transfer (the
"Assignment") of securities (the "Securities") of Diametrics Medical, Inc.
("DMED") held by BCC Acquisition II, LLC ("BCCAII") to Ocean Park Advisors, LLC
("OPA") and M.A.G. Capital, LLC ("MAG", and together with OPA, the "Purchasers")
as described in the letter agreement, dated as of November 22, 2005 a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Master Letter Agreement"), BCCAII
hereby agrees to deposit with OPA (the "Escrow Agent") an aggregate of $148,929
(the "Escrow Deposit"), to be held in escrow as set forth below:

     1.   $75,000 pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of November 22, 2005
          between BCCAII and DMED, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
          B;

     2.   $7,000 pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of November 22, 2005
          between BCCAII and DMED, in connection with the settlement of a claim
          by Merchant & Gould a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C;

     3.   $34,500 in connection with the General Release delivered to DMED by W.
          Glen Winchell, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D;

     4.   $18,429 pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of November 22, 2005
          between BCCAII and OPA, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
          E, in connection with the full amount of principal and accrued
          interest, through December 31, 2005, that may be owed to an investor
          who acquired a participation in the DMED Convertible Note due 2005
          that is held by BCCAII, which note is being transferred to the
          Purchasers pursuant to the Master Letter Agreement;

     5.   $11,000, in respect of one-half of the legal fees and expenses of
          Dorsey & Whitney LLP and Zimmerman, Koomer, Connolly & Finkel LLP
          related to DMED's securities exchange act filings related to the
          contemplated transactions; and

     6.   $3,000, in respect of one-half of the cost of extending the DMED D&O
          policy for a two week period.

          The Escrow Deposit shall be deposited by the Escrow Agent in fully
insured, interest-bearing accounts, and shall not be commingled with any other
funds. The Escrow Deposit shall not be used for any other purpose except as
described in and pursuant to this letter

<PAGE>

agreement, and no portion of the Escrow Deposit, except for items 5 and 6 above,
shall be disbursed prior to the closing of the transfer of the Securities by
BCCAII to the Purchasers (the "Closing"). For items 5 and 6 above, amounts are
to be disbursed directly by the Escrow Agent upon receipt of the relevant
invoices by OPA or by DMED.

          In the event that DMED wishes to discharge one or more of the
liabilities described in items 1 through 4 above (each a "Liability" and
collectively, the "Liabilities"), DMED shall provide the Escrow Agent and BCCAII
with a written notification for disbursement of such portion of the Escrow
Deposit necessary to satisfy, compromise and/or discharge such Liability,
together with documentation reasonably necessary to establish that the Liability
DMED proposes to discharge is a Liability and is due and owing.

          Upon written request of BCCAII, the Escrow Agent promptly shall
account to BCCAII for the Escrow Deposit and each disbursement therefrom (though
OPA shall not be required to maintain more than one escrow account for the
entire Escrow Amount). To the extent that any Liability described above is fully
satisfied, discharged or compromised for an amount less than the amount set
aside therefor, the Escrow Agent shall return the remainder of the Escrow
Deposit with respect to such Liability to BCCAII within 3 business days of the
date such Liability is so satisfied. Upon full satisfaction, compromise or
discharge of each of the Liabilities, the Escrow Agent shall return the
remaining Escrow Deposit, if any, together with accrued interest thereon, to
BCCAII within 3 business days.

          OPA, for itself and not in its capacity as Escrow Agent, and DMED
hereby acknowledge and agree that, as among such entities and BCCAII, following
delivery of the Escrow Deposit by BCCAII to the Escrow Agent as described above,
BCCAII shall have no liability of any kind or nature whatsoever to the
Purchasers, DMED or any third party in respect of the Liabilities. This
acknowledgement will in no way affect any claim that any of the parties hereto
may have against each other with respect to matters unrelated to the
Liabilities.

          This letter agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made
and to be performed wholly within that jurisdiction, without reference to the
conflicts of laws principles thereof.

behalf of DMED from the escrow from time to time upon the written request of
DMED in connection with the compromise and settlement of the liabilities set
forth on Exhibit A hereto; provided that BCCAII's obligation to make such

LLC ("MAG") pursuant to a letter agreement of even date herewith and (ii) BCCAII
shall receive from DMED a duly executed general release substantially in the

          This letter agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made

                                 [SEE ATTACHED]

<PAGE>

                                 GENERAL RELEASE

          For good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned party ("Releasor") hereby agrees
as follows:

          1. Release. Releasor releases BCC Acquisition II LLC and its
predecessor entities, affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively "BCCAII"), and
its past and present shareholders, employees and former employees, agents,
directors, officers, attorneys, predecessors, successors, assigns, heirs,
executors, administrators, and all other persons, firms, corporations,
associations, partnerships, or entities having any legal relationship to BCCAII
(collectively, "Releasees"), from any and all claims, demands and causes of
action of any kind or nature, whether known or unknown or suspected or
unsuspected to Releasor, which Releasor now owns or holds, or has at any time
before this owned or held against any of them relating to, arising out of, or in
any way connected with BCCAII.

          2. California Civil Code Section 1542. It is Releasor's intention that
Releasor's execution of this Agreement will forever bar any released claims,
demand, cause of action, charge and grievance related to BCCAII and the
Releasees. Because this is Releasor's intention, Releasor expressly waives any
and all rights and benefits conferred upon Releasor by the provisions of Section
1542 of the California Civil Code. Section 1542 provides:

          "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES
NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE,
WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR."

          3. Remedies, Attorney Fees, Binding Arbitration. Releasor will not
bring any action against BCCAII or the Releasees with respect to any claims,
demands or causes of action released pursuant to in this Agreement. In the event
Releasor brings any such action: (a) BCCAII will be entitled to all lawful
remedies; and (b) all other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect. In the event of any dispute arising out of or related to this
Agreement, the parties agree to enter into binding arbitration under the
commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association. The location for such
arbitration shall be Minneapolis, Minnesota. The governing law shall be
Minnesota law. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable
attorney's fees and costs.

          4. Enforceability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held
to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms or provisions of this
Agreement will continue to be valid and will be performed, construed and
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the invalid or
unenforceable term will be deemed amended and limited in accordance with the
intent of the parties, as determined from the face of the Agreement, to the
extent necessary to permit the maximum enforceability or validation of the term
or provision.

          5. Headings. Paragraph headings are for the convenience of the parties
only.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Releasor has executed and delivered this General
Release as of the day and year set forth below.
