     THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of March 27, 2001, by
and between JOHN J. CADIGAN ("PURCHASER"), and STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC.,
a Delaware corporation ("SELLER").

                                  WITNESSETH

     WHEREAS, SELLER desires to obtain additional working capital through the
sale and issuance of "Units". As used in this Agreement, a "Unit" means 50,000
shares of the common voting stock, par value $0.0001 of SELLER ("Common Stock"),
and a Convertible Subordinated Debenture made payable to the PURCHASER for the
principal amount of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), bearing interest at
a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, and with the outstanding principal
balance convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $.10 per share
("Debenture").

     WHEREAS, SELLER has offered to sell, and PURCHASER desires to acquire Units
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual undertakings herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1.   Purchase and Sale of Units. SELLER hereby agrees to sell to
                  --------------------------
PURCHASER and PURCHASER hereby agrees to purchase, two (2) Units, in exchange
for the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) ("Purchase Price"), and upon the
terms and conditions described herein. Upon receipt of the Purchase Price and
the below-defined Accredited Investor Certificate, SELLER will (i) execute and
deliver a Debenture for the principal amount corresponding to the number of
Units purchased as defined above, and (ii) instruct its transfer agent to issue
and deliver a certificate representing the corresponding number of shares of
Common Stock to PURCHASER or its nominee.

     Section 2.   Purchaser Representations and Warranties. PURCHASER hereby
                  ----------------------------------------
acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, SELLER as follows:

            (a)   "Accredited Investor"; Resale Restrictions.
                  ------------------------------------------

                  (i)    The PURCHASER is an "accredited investor" as that term
     is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
     The

     PURCHASER will accurately complete and return the Accredited Investor
     Certificate attached hereto as Appendix A.
                                    ----------

                  (ii)   The PURCHASER is purchasing the Units for the
     PURCHASER's own account, for investment, and not with a view to, or for
     offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of
     the Securities Act.

                  (iii)  The Debenture and the certificates representing the
     Common Stock will bear a legend substantially as follows:

          [THIS CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE AND THE SHARES OF COMMON
          STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION] [THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
          REPRESENTED HEREBY] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES
          SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND MAY NOT
          BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE
          SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM
          REGISTRATION. THE ISSUER WILL REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF SUCH
          SECURITIES NOT MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND MAY
          REQUIRE, AS A CONDITION TO ANY REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, AN OPINION OF
          COUNSEL, A CERTIFICATE OR SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY
          TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT THE TRANSFER HAS BEEN MADE IN
          ACCORDANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

                  (iv)   The PURCHASER agrees that it will only offer, sell or
     transfer the Common Stock prior to the date which is two years (or such
     shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or
     any successor provisions thereunder) after the date on which the Units are
     issued to the PURCHASER or such later date, if any, as may be required by
     applicable law, to (i) SELLER, (ii) pursuant to a registration statement
     that has been declared effective under the Securities Act; or (iii)
     pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of
     the Securities Act.

            (b)   Investor Suitability; Independent Investigation; Access to
                  ----------------------------------------------------------
Information; Risk Factors.
-------------------------

                  (i)    PURCHASER has the financial ability to bear the
     economic risk of his investment in the SELLER (including its possible loss)
     and has no need for liquidity with respect to his investment in the Units.

                  (ii)   PURCHASER has such knowledge and experience in
     financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits
     and risks of an investment in the Units and has obtained, in its judgment,
     sufficient information from SELLER to evaluate the merits and risks of an
     investment in the Units.

                  (iii)  The Units are not being subscribed for by PURCHASER as
     a result of any material information about SELLER's affairs that has not
     been publicly disclosed.

                                       2

                  (iv)   PURCHASER acknowledges that SELLER regularly files
     publicly available reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
     "Exchange Act") and PURCHASER is familiar with the previous reports filed
     by SELLER with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

                  (v)    PURCHASER acknowledges that an investment in SELLER
     involves a high degree of risk, and has taken full cognizance of and
     understands all of the risk factors related to an investment in SELLER.

                  (vi)   PURCHASER has determined that an investment in the
     Units is a suitable investment for it.

                  (vii)  In making its decision to purchase the Units herein
     subscribed for, PURCHASER has relied solely upon independent investigations
     made by it. PURCHASER is not relying on SELLER with respect to tax and
     other economic considerations involved in his investment.

                  (viii) PURCHASER understands that sales or transfers of the
     Units, or any part thereof, may be further restricted by provisions of the
     applicable state securities laws. However, SELLER agrees to file a
     registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a
     public offering of its Units or the resale of certain of its Common Stock
     within one year of the closing of PURCHASER's acquisition of the Units
     under this Agreement.

     Section 3.   Seller Representations and Warranties. SELLER hereby
                  -------------------------------------
acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, PURCHASER as follows:

                  (i)    SELLER is registered under the Exchange Act and has
     filed all forms and reports required to be filed with the SEC
     (collectively, the "SELLER SEC Reports"). The SELLER SEC Reports were
     prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of
     applicable law (including the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
     the SEC thereunder applicable to such SELLER SEC Reports). As of their
     respective dates, the SELLER SEC Reports did not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
     be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the
     light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

                  (ii)   Each of the financial statements (including, in each
     case, any related notes thereto) contained in the SELLER SEC Reports, if
     any, filed prior to, on or after the date of this Agreement (i) have been
     or will be prepared in accordance with, and complied or will comply as to
     form with, the published rules and regulations of the SEC and GAAP applied
     on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as otherwise
     noted therein) and (ii) fairly present or will fairly present the financial
     position of SELLER as of the respective dates thereof and the results of
     its operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, except that any
     unaudited interim financial statements were or will be subject to normal
     and recurring year-end adjustments.

indemnify and hold harmless the other and its respective officers, directors and
agents and each other person, if any, who controls or is controlled by any
thereof, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and
all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not
limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or
threatened or any claim whatsoever) arising out of or based upon any false
representation or warranty or breach or failure by the indemnifying party herein
or in any other document furnished in connection with this transaction by the
indemnifying party to the other party or any of it officers, directors, agents
