Akers Biosciences, Inc.

Thorofare, NJ 08086

Dear Gentlemen:

         This letter will serve to confirm and memorialize our understanding
that BAS Consulting, Inc. ("Finder"), subject to the terms and conditions set
forth below, is authorized to assist and has already assisted Akers Biosciences,
Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), with respect to one or more
transactions relating to financings of or for the Company whereby Southridge
Capital Management, LLC and entities associated with Southridge Capital
Management, LLC (collectively referred to as "Southridge") were introduced to
Company introduced by Finder and have agreed to make an equity investment in the
Company by way of a purchase of capital stock.

         The terms and conditions of such exclusive authority hereby granted to
Finder are as follows:

1.       Services.
         --------

                  In connection with Finder's services to be provided hereunder,
Finder shall not be required to and shall not:

i.       participate in negotiations between an Entity and the Company,

ii.      conduct  special  market  operations  with  respect  to the  securities
         of the Company or any Entity contemplating a proposed Transaction which
         departs from casual trading,

iii.     arrange any securities transaction, or

iv.      participate in securities transactions involving the securities of the
         Company and/or any Entity contemplating a proposed Transaction at any
         key point in the chain of distribution.

However, without limited the foregoing, Finder can, if requested by the Company,
provide to the Company advice on matters of valuation or other matters
concerning the terms and consideration to be tendered in a potential
<PAGE>

Transaction, and transmit documents between the parties to a potential
Transaction.

2.       Compensation.
         ------------

         (a) Finder shall be entitled to Transaction-based compensation (the
"Finder Fee") set forth in this paragraph 2, with respect to any Transaction
consummated with Southridge or arranged by Southridge, regardless of Finder's
role in the Transaction. With respect to a Transaction referred to in the
preceding sentence, the Company shall pay to Finder an amount equal to 5% of the
Amount (as defined below), payable in cash at the closing of each Transaction or
each closing in a series of Transactions.

         (b) For the purpose of this paragraph, the "Amount" for any Transaction
shall be an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts paid, contributed,
invested, loaned or committed by Southridge or an entity arranged by or through
Southridge.

         (c) The Finder Fee is payable in immediately available funds at the
closing of each Transaction. To the extent that any portion of the aggregate
Financing Amount is deferred but is fixed and therefore not contingent, the
Finder Fee shall be payable in immediately available funds at the closing of the
Transaction. To the extent that any portion of the Financing Amount is
contingent, the Finder Fee on the contingent portion shall become due and
payable at such time(s) as the contingent portion becomes fixed, determinable
and/or payable.

         (d) To enable Finder to accurately compute the Finder Fee to which
Finder is entitled in connection with the consummation of a Transaction, the
Company hereby expressly agrees to furnish Finder with copies of all
documentation relating to each Transaction, commencing with the inception of
negotiation of such Transaction through the consummation thereof. In addition,
the Company agrees to furnish Finder with all such other information (including
all relevant data with respect to contingent payments of the Amount) relating to
each such Transaction as Finder may, from time to time, reasonably request, both
preceding and subsequent to the consummation of such Transaction.

         (e) Finder shall not be entitled to any Finder Fee pursuant to this
paragraph 3 unless and until a Transaction is actually consummated.

3.       Non Disclosure.
         --------------

         No person or entity, other than the Company, shall be entitled to make
use of or rely upon the advice, services or materials rendered or prepared by
Finder hereunder and the Company shall not directly or indirectly disseminate,
distribute or otherwise make available any advice, services or materials
rendered or prepared by Finder without prior Finder' written consent.

                                       2

<PAGE>

4.       No Liability and Indemnification.
         --------------------------------

          (a) The Company recognizes that, in providing the services
contemplated by this Agreement, Finder will be using and relying upon data,
materials and other information, including, but not limited to the Evaluation
Material, furnished to Finder by the Company and its employees, auditors and
representatives and upon other information contained in reports and statements
relating to the Company, and the Company confirms and represents to Finder that
Finder may rely upon such data, materials and information without independent
verification and that Finder does not assume responsibility for the
truthfulness, accuracy or completeness of such information, whether or not
Finder makes any independent verification.

         (b) In the absence of gross negligence in the performance of services
hereunder, neither Finder nor any Affiliate, officer, employee, associate,
director or stockholder of Finder shall be subject to any liability to the
Company or to any Affiliate, officer, employee, associate, director or
stockholder of the Company, for any act or omission in the course of, or in
connection with or for any error, inaccuracy or omission, material or otherwise,
which may appear in any review document or other information furnished to or on
behalf of the Company, pursuant to the rendering or providing of services or
advice hereunder.

         (c) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold Finder and Finder's
associates, officers, employees, Affiliates, directors and stockholders harmless
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
which Finder or such persons or entities may become subject in connection with
the services rendered by Finder or the Transactions referred to herein under any
of the Federal securities laws, under any other statute, at common law or
otherwise, and to reimburse Finder for any legal or other expenses (including
the cost of any investigations and preparations) reasonably incurred by Finder
arising out of or in connection with any action or claim in connection therewith
whether or not resulting in any liability; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted
from Finder' gross negligence in performing services hereunder. The indemnity
agreement of this Section 7 shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to
each person, if any, who may be deemed to control Finder.

         (d) In the event that any action, suit or proceeding is brought against
Finder in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant
to this letter agreement, Finder shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the Company under this letter agreement, promptly notify the
Company in writing of the institution of such action, suit or proceeding;
provided, however, that any failure by Finder to so notify the Company in
writing shall in no way affect the obligations of the Company under this Section
7. Finder shall have the right to employ Finder' own counsel in any such case,
the fees and expenses of such counsel to be at the expense of Finder, unless the
employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Company,
or the Company shall have failed in the Company's obligation to employ counsel
to take charge of such defense after five days following the notification by

                                       3

<PAGE>

Finder to the Company referred to above, or the use of joint counsel presents,
in the opinion of such counsel or counsel to Finder, a conflict for such counsel
or prevents, in the opinion of such counsel or counsel to Finder, such counsel
from adequately representing the interests of each of the Company and Finder, in
any of which events such reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by
Finder shall also be borne by the Company.

         (e) The obligations of Finder hereunder are intended solely for the
benefit of the Company and Finder shall not have any obligation hereunder to any
parties other than the Company.

5.       Miscellaneous.
         -------------

         (a) Consent to Jurisdiction and Waivers. The parties hereto each
irrevocably consent that any legal action or proceeding against any of them
