       (b)    the person(s) signing on behalf of ADVISOR is the duly authorized
              representative of ADVISOR, with full power and authority to enter
              into and execute this Agreement on behalf of ADVISOR;

       (c)    once so executed, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding
              Agreement of ADVISOR, enforceable against him by any court of
              competent jurisdiction;

                                       2
<PAGE>

       (d)    ADVISOR is not bound by or subject to any order, ruling, judgment,
              contract, agreement or other arrangement which would prohibit him
              from entering into or performing this Agreement, or which requires
              the approval or consent of any third party in connection
              therewith;

       (e)    ADVISOR shall comply with all statutes, ordinances, and
              regulations of all federal, state, county, and municipal or local
              governments, and of any and all of the departments and bureaus
              thereof, applicable to the carrying on of its business and the
              conduct of the performance of Services for the RCAI;

       (f)    ADVISOR shall perform the Services to the best of its ability and
              in accordance with the highest level of business and professional
              ethics.;

       (g)    ADVISOR possesses the necessary education, background and
              experience to perform successfully all of the Services, and there
              is nothing which is not expressly called for in this Agreement
              which ADVISOR shall require in order to complete the performance
              of such Services in the time allotted; and

       (h)    with respect to the any shares of RCAI stock, warrants for the
              purchase of RCAI stock, and shares of RCAI stock underlying such
              warrants (collectively the "Securities") which may be received by
              ADVISOR as compensation hereunder:

              (i)    ADVISOR is acquiring such Securities for its own account,
                     and not with a view toward the subdivision, resale,
                     distribution, or fractionalization thereof; ADVISOR has no
                     contract, undertaking, or arrangement with any person to
                     sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of such Securities (or
                     any portion thereof hereby subscribed for), and has no
                     present intention to enter into any such contract,
                     undertaking, agreement or arrangement;

              (ii)   the receipt of such Securities by ADVISOR is not the result
                     of any form of general solicitation or general advertising;

              (iii)  ADVISOR hereby acknowledges that: (A) the offering of such
                     Securities was made only through direct, personal
                     communication between ADVISOR and RCAI; (B) ADVISOR has had
                     full access to material concerning RCAI's planned business
                     and operations, which material was furnished or made
                     available to ADVISOR by officers or representatives of
                     RCAI; (C) RCAI has given ADVISOR the opportunity to ask any
                     questions and obtain all additional information desired in
                     order to verify or supplement the material so furnished;
                     and (D) ADVISOR understands and acknowledges that an
                     investor in the Securities must be prepared to bear the
                     economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period
                     because of: (I) the heightened nature of the risks
                     associated with an investment in RCAI due to its status as
                     a development stage company; (II) illiquidity of such
                     Securities due to the fact that (1) such Securities have
                     not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
                     "ACT") or any state securities act (nor passed upon by the
                     SEC or any state securities commission), and (2) such
                     Securities may not be registered or qualified by ADVISOR
                     under federal or state securities laws solely in reliance
                     upon an available exemption from such registration or
                     qualification, and hence such Securities cannot be sold
                     unless they are subsequently so registered or qualified, or
                     are otherwise subject to any applicable exemption from such
                     registration requirements; and (3) substantial restrictions
                     on transfer of such Securities, as set forth by legend on
                     the face or reverse side of every certificate evidencing
                     the ownership of such Shares;

                                       3
<PAGE>

              (iv)   ADVISOR recognizes that an agreement to accept Securities
                     is in lieu of (or in addition to) cash payment for services
                     rendered is a securities transaction, and has determined
                     that it is a suitable investor in RCAI as fully as if
                     ADVISOR were paying cash to subscribe for such securities
                     as an investor in RCAI; and

              (v)    ADVISOR has been advised to consult with an attorney
                     regarding legal matters concerning the purchase and
                     ownership of such securities, and with a tax advisor
                     regarding the tax consequences of purchasing such
                     securities.

4.     TERM AND TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be for a term of one (1) year,
       but at the election of both parties, can be extended for one additional
       term of three (3) months. After April 30, 2008, either party shall have
       the right to terminate this Agreement by providing 30-day prior written
       notice to the other party, provided however in the event either party
       breaches its obligations under this Agreement, in such event the other
       party may immediately terminate the Agreement without prior notice. The
       compensation set forth in Exhibit A shall adjust proportionately based
       upon any termination of this agreement prior to February 6, 2009.

5.     CONFIDENTIALITY.

       (a)    ADVISOR hereby represents and warrants to the RCAI that the
              performance of the Services by ADVISOR will not violate any
              proprietary rights of third parties, including, without
              limitation, patents, copyrights, trade or service marks or trade
              secrets, and that ADVISOR's Services to the RCAI hereunder will
              not violate any obligations or confidential relationships (whether
              created by contract or by operation of law) which ADVISOR may have
              to/with any third party. ADVISOR agrees to indemnify, defend and
              hold harmless the RCAI, its officers, directors, employees, agents
              and representatives from and against any and/or all liability,
              loss, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
              court costs), causes of action, claims or demands arising out of
              ADVISOR's breach of its representations, warranties and covenants
              made herein.

       (b)    ADVISOR agrees to hold in trust and confidence all of the
              information regarding the RCAI's business, the Services performed
              hereunder and the results thereof (i) disclosed by RCAI, its
              agents or employees to ADVISOR hereunder; (ii) obtained from the
              RCAI or otherwise learned as a result of the Services performed
              for the RCAI, and/or (iii) used as a basis for and/or contained in
              any reports prepared by ADVISOR for the RCAI hereunder (the
              "Confidential Information"). The existence and substance of this
              Agreement shall be included as Confidential Information. ADVISOR
              will not disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information
              to any third party nor make any press release regarding the
              existence of this Agreement nor make any commercial or other use
              thereof without the prior written consent of the RCAI provided,
              however, that ADVISOR may use the RCAI's name as a trade
              reference.

                                       4
<PAGE>

       (c)    It is understood, however, that the foregoing restrictions in
              Section 5(b) above shall not apply to any portion of the
              Confidential Information which ADVISOR can clearly demonstrate
              falls within any of the following categories: (i) information that
              as of the time of disclosure to ADVISOR, was already known to
              ADVISOR without obligation of confidentiality, as demonstrated by
              appropriate documentary evidence antedating the relationship
              between ADVISOR and the RCAI; (ii) information obtained after the
              date hereof by ADVISOR from a third party which is lawfully in
              possession of such information and not in violation of any
              contractual or legal obligation to the RCAI to maintain
              confidentiality with respect to such information; or (iii)
              information which is or becomes part of the public domain through
              no fault of the RCAI or its employees.

       (d)    ADVISOR agrees to restrict access to all of the Confidential
              Information within his organization to only such limited group of
              authorized employees and/or agents who (i) require such
              information in connection with their activities as contemplated by
              this Agreement, and (ii) have agreed in writing with ADVISOR to
              maintain the confidential nature of all proprietary information -
              including that of third parties - received by them in the course
              of their employment or engagement.

       (e)    Upon termination of this Agreement, or earlier upon the RCAI's
              request, ADVISOR shall deliver all items containing any
              Confidential Information to the RCAI or make such other
              disposition thereof as the RCAI may direct, and shall certify to
              the RCAI that it has retained no copies of the same.

       (f)    Disclosure of Confidential Information to ADVISOR hereunder shall
              not constitute any option, grant or license to ADVISOR under any
              patent or other rights now or hereinafter held by the RCAI, its
              subsidiaries, or any of its affiliated companies to use or exploit
              the same for any purpose.

6.     REPRESENTATION BY ADVISOR OF OTHER CLIENTS. RCAI acknowledges and
       consents to ADVISOR rendering similar business consultation services to
       other clients, provided that this does not impede ADVISOR's ability to
       perform the Services or its other obligations hereunder, or to carry out
       its responsibilities to RCAI hereunder, provided however, that for the
       entire term of this Agreement, ADVISOR shall not provide services, for
       its own account or to any other party, in the development or production
       of any product which directly competes with the specific product or
       products of RCAI for which ADVISOR shall provide Services hereunder.

7.     INDEMNIFICATION BY RCAI. RCAI acknowledges that ADVISOR, in the
       performance of its duties, will be required to rely upon the accuracy and
       completeness of information supplied to it by RCAI's officers, directors,
       agents and/or employees. RCAI agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and
       defend ADVISOR, its officers, agents and/or employees from any proceeding
       or suit which arises out of or is due to the inaccuracy or incompleteness
       of any material or information negligently supplied by RCAI to ADVISOR.

8.     INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. ADVISOR agrees to indemnify, hold harmless
       and defend RCAI and its officers, agents and/or employees against any
       damages that arise out or in connection with any breach by ADVISOR of the
       terms of this Agreement or any negligence or malfeasance by ADVISOR in
       connection with the Services.

9.     INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. It is expressly agreed that ADVISOR is acting as
       an independent contractor in performing its services hereunder. RCAI
       shall not carry workers compensation insurance or any health or accident
       insurance on ADVISOR or ADVISOR'S employees. RCAI shall not pay any
       contributions to social security, unemployment insurance, Federal or
       state withholding taxes nor provide any other contributions or benefits
       that might be customary in an employer-employee relationship.

10.    SURVIVAL. The obligations of ADVISOR under Section 5 expressly shall
       survive the termination/expiration of this Agreement.

11.    EQUITABLE RELIEF. The parties expressly acknowledge to and agree with
       each other that in the event certain of the promises and covenants of the
       ADVISOR contained herein were to be breached, it should result in
       irreparable injury to RCAI for which monetary damages may not be adequate
       or ascertainable. In such event, RCAI shall be entitled to seek specific
       performance, injunctive or other equitable relief, and such rights and
       remedies of RCAI shall be cumulative and non-exclusive, and in addition
       to all other of RCAI's rights and remedies available at law and/or equity
       hereunder.

12.    NON-ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party

       address of the other party or such other address as either party may have
       given to the other in writing.

14.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and
       understanding between the parties with regard to the subject matter
       therein and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and discussions
       concerning such subject matter.

15.    MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Agreement may not be altered or modified
       except by writing signed by each of the respective parties hereof. No
       breach or violation of this Agreement shall be waived except in writing
       executed by the party granting such waiver.

16.    LAW TO GOVERN; FORUM FOR DISPUTES. This Agreement shall be governed by
       the laws of California without giving effect to the principle of conflict
       of laws. Each party acknowledges to the other that courts within Orange
       County, California shall be the sole and exclusive forum to adjudicate
       any disputes arising under this agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this agreement as of the day and
year first written above.

                          AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES

         A. For the services to be rendered by ADVISOR during the term of the
Agreement, RCAI shall pay to ADVISOR the sum of $15,000 per month, in advance,
plus all reasonable and necessary out of pocket expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by ADVISOR in performing the Services. ADVISOR shall obtain written
approval before incurring expenses greater than $750 per month. With respect to
reimbursement of such expenses, and for RCAI's record-keeping and tax purposes,
ADVISOR shall keep an account book in which ADVISOR shall record at or near the
time that each expenditure is made, the amount of the expenditure; time and
place of the expenditure; business reason, if any, for the expenditure;
information concerning the expense's business relationships to ADVISOR; and
documentation or receipts of the expenditures. Expense reports shall be tendered
monthly with the supporting information identified and ADVISOR shall be
reimbursed for qualifying expenses within thirty (30) days.

         B. As additional compensation , during the term of the Agreement, RCAI
agrees to:

         (i) issue ADVISIOR shares of its restricted common stock with a Rule
144 legend as follows: (a) 250,000 shares immediately following the proposed 1:2
proposed reverse split; (b) 250,000 shares on or before June 30, 2008; (c)
250,000 shares on or before September 30, 2008; and (d) 250,000 shares on or
before December 31, 2008.

         (ii) issue ADVISOR, on a form of warrant certificate mutually agreed to
by the parties, immediately following the planned 1:2 proposed reverse split of
RCAI's common stock, One Million (1,000,000) one year common stock purchase
warrants ("Warrants") that shall consist of (a) the right to purchase 250,000
shares at an exercise price of $.35 per share; (b) the right to purchase 250,000
share at an exercise price of $.45 per share; (c) the right to purchase 250,000

250,000 shares at an exercise price of $.65 per share. The Warrants shall vest
proportionately during term of the Agreement at the rate of 1/12th per month. No
adjustments to the number of shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants or the
exercise price of the Warrants shall be made on any reverse split of RCAI's
common stock.

         C. The compensation set forth in this Exhibit A shall adjust
proportionately based upon any termination of this Agreement prior to January
31, 2009. In the event, the Agreement is terminated by either party prior to the
one year anniversary of the Effective Date, ADVISOR shall in no event be
entitled to keep more then a number of shares equal to the number of days of the
term multiplied by 2739 and shall promptly return any excess number of shares to
RCAI. ADVISOR understands that completion of the 1:2 reverse split by RCAI is
subject to shareholder approval and the requisite approvals of Federal and state
regulators. RCAI cannot provide any assurance that the 1:2 reverse split will
happen by any particular time, or at all.
