Mr. Gary De Laurentiis
Chief Executive Officer
Itec Environmental Group, Inc.
5300 Claus Road
Riverbank, CA 95367
 
Dear Mr. De Laurentiis:

We are pleased to confirm the understanding and agreement under which KW Securities, Inc. (“KWS”) is engaged by Itec Environmental Group, Inc. (the “Company”) to act as placement agent in connection with the private placement of the Company’s securities (the “Agreement”).

1.  Engagement. The Company hereby engages KWS as its non-exclusive placement agent in connection with the placement, on a “best efforts” basis, of equity or equity-related securities of the Company (the “Securities”), on terms mutually acceptable to KWS and the Company (the “Proposed Offering”). KWS hereby accepts the engagement as placement agent for the Proposed Offering subject to, among other things, the satisfactory completion of KWS’s due diligence investigation and the non-occurrence of any material adverse change in the business, prospects or financial condition of the Company, and on the terms more fully set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement shall not give rise to any commitment by KWS or any other entity to purchase any securities of the Company. KWS provides no guarantee that the Proposed Offering or any other financing transaction will ever be completed or, if completed, as to the terms of the Proposed Offering or such other transaction. KWS shall serve as placement agent for a term of eighteen (18) months (the “Placement Period”).

2.  Services. As placement agent for the Proposed Offering, KWS shall, to the extent required or appropriate in connection with the Proposed Offering,

(a)  advise the Company on the structure and the terms of the Proposed Offering;

(b)  assist the Company in preparing the investment documents and/or private placement memorandum used in the Proposed Offering;
 
1

 
(c)  contact potential investors who might participate in the Proposed Offering, coordinate follow-up activities with potential investors, and in general supervise the investment consideration and placement process; and

(d)  assist the Company in negotiating the terms of the Proposed Offering.

3.  Compensation and Expenses.

(a)  For acting as placement agent in connection with the Proposed Offering, KWS shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay to KWS (or its designee(s)), the following (collectively, the “Compensation”):

(i)  a warrant (the “Placement Warrant”) to purchase that number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate of three (3) shares of common stock for each One Dollar ($1.00) raised in the Proposed Offering, a form of the Placement Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A Placement Warrant shall be issued at the closing based on the number of Securities sold at such closing. The terms of the Placement Warrant shall be set forth in the form of Placement Warrant provided to the Company prior to the first closing of the Proposed Offering (but, at a minimum, the Placement Warrant shall be exercisable from time to time, in whole or in part, during the ten (10) year period commencing on the initial closing of the Proposed Offering, and shall contain registration rights and anti-dilution provisions satisfactory to KWS and its counsel).

(b)  Whether or not the Proposed Offering is consummated, the Company shall reimburse KWS for all of its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with its services hereunder, including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of its legal counsel and other professional advisors, travel expenses, data gathering and due diligence expenses, document reproduction and shipping expenses, the expenses related to meals or other expenses of meeting with potential investors or others, tombstone preparation expenses, and other placement related expenses. The foregoing costs and expenses will be paid by the Company to KWS promptly upon receipt by the Company of each invoice from KWS relating thereto setting forth in reasonable detail the items requiring reimbursement or payment, along with reasonable proof of the same. All expenses shall be pre-approved by the Company.

4.  Board Representation. Upon the date of this Agreement, KWS shall have the right to appoint a designee to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). This right shall terminate on the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement. The Company shall nominate KWS’s designee for election to the Board at any and all times that the shareholders of the Company take action (whether by meeting or written consent) to elect members of the Board and shall use best efforts to secure the designee’s election to the Board.

5.  Cooperation. The Company shall cooperate with KWS in connection with the performance of its due diligence related to its engagement hereunder and shall make available to KWS the Company’s management, employees, directors, accountants, counsel and other outside advisors, consultants, service providers, vendors and customers and such documents, books, records, studies and other information as it shall reasonably request in this respect. KWS’s willingness to proceed with the proposed transaction is subject to satisfactory results of its on-going due diligence.

6.  Negotiation; PPM. The Proposed Offering shall commence immediately upon the Company’s finalization, in conjunction with KWS, of a private placement memorandum (the “PPM”), subscription documents and other necessary materials. Such PPM and related documentation (collectively, the “Offering Materials”) initially shall be drafted by the Company and include all customary and necessary representations, warranties, disclosures and other Company information and shall include audited financial statements of the Company. The Company shall represent and warrant in writing to KWS that all such representations and warranties are true, complete and correct, and that the Offering Materials do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to be stated therein in order to make the information presented not misleading. The Company shall be responsible for amending or supplementing the Offering Materials as necessary to correct any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Company will not use any Offering Materials to which KWS reasonably objects.

7.  Offering to Prospective Investors; Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company reserves the right to reject an investment from any prospective investor. The Company and KWS each agrees to conduct the Proposed Offering in a manner intended to qualify for the exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) provided by Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company agrees that the Proposed Offering is to be limited to “Accredited Investors” as such defined is defined in Regulation D; therefore the Company and KWS each agrees to limit offers to sell, and solicitations of offers to buy, Securities to persons reasonably believed by it to be “Accredited Investors” as so defined. The Company and KWS each agrees to conduct the Proposed Offering in a manner intended to comply with the registration or qualification requirements, or available exemptions therefrom, of applicable state “bluesky” laws and applicable securities laws of other relevant jurisdictions. KWS will be responsible, at the expense of the Company, for registering or qualifying the offer and sale of the Securities under applicable state “bluesky” laws, or securing exemptions from such registration or qualification requirements, and the Company will cooperate with KWS in connection therewith. The Company will not, for a period of six months following the last closing date of the Proposed Offering, offer for sale or sell any securities unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, reviewed by counsel to KWS, who advise KWS that it may rely thereupon, such offering will not cause the issuance of the Securities in the Proposed Offering to be subject to the registration or qualification requirements of applicable federal securities laws, state “bluesky” laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction (by integration with any other offering of securities or otherwise).

8.  Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless KWS in accordance with KWS’s standard indemnification agreement (a copy of which is attached hereto and is incorporate by reference herein), which shall be executed by the Company concurrently herewith.
 
3

 
9.  No Brokers. The Company represents and warrants to KWS that there are no brokers, representatives or other persons who have an interest in the compensation payable to KWS pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

10.  Successors and Assigns; Binding Effect. The benefits of this Agreement shall, together with the separate indemnity agreement, inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto and of the indemnified parties hereunder and their successors and assigns and representatives, and the obligations and liabilities assumed in this Agreement by the parties hereto shall be binding upon their respective successors and assigns. Neither the Company on the one hand, nor KWS on the other hand, shall assign its interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company acknowledges that in rendering its services hereunder, KWS will be using and relying on the information provided to it by the Company and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any such information.

11.  Confidentiality.

(a)  Except as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or as may be required by law or order of applicable regulatory authority (including the National Association of Securities Dealers Regulation, Inc.), KWS shall keep confidential and shall not disclose to any third party any confidential or proprietary information of the Company made available to it in connection with its engagement hereunder. Any information that is confidential or proprietary shall be identified as such to KWS by the Company, either in writing or orally (and then confirmed as such in writing), at the time such information is disclosed by the Company to KWS. KWS will use such confidential information only in connection with its engagement hereunder; provided, however, such confidentiality obligation shall not extend to (i) any information available to or in the possession of KWS prior to the date of its disclosure to KWS by or on behalf of the Company, (ii) any information generally available to the public, or (iii) any information which becomes available to KWS on a non-confidential basis from a third party who is not bound by a confidentiality obligation to the Company; and provided, further, such confidential information may be disclosed to KWS’s officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, advisors or representatives in connection with the engagement hereunder provided that such persons are made aware of the obligations under this Section 11.

(b)  Any written or oral advice, analyses or reports provided by KWS to the Company in connection with its engagement hereunder are exclusively for the information of the Board of Directors and management of the Company (including the Company’s attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors) and may not be disclosed (in any form whatsoever) to or relied upon by any other party without the express prior written consent of KWS. Any description of or reference to KWS in the Offering Materials must be approved by KWS in writing prior to use, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

12.  Closing Matters. The Company will, at the closing of the Proposed Offering, provide KWS with a copy of the same favorable opinion of its counsel as is furnished to the investors participating in such closing (if such an opinion is provided as part of the transaction), together with a letter from such counsel that its opinion to investors may be relied upon by KWS as if addressed to it. In addition, at the closing, the Company will provide KWS and participating investors with certificates of officers of the Company and such other representatives, warranties, undertakings, and other documents as KWS or its counsel may reasonably request, in form and substance satisfactory to KWS and its counsel. The essence of this requirement will be to confirm compliance with securities laws, to confirm information provided to investors, and to confirm that the terms of the Proposed Offering to which investors subscribed remain as presented to them.
