                                                          EXECUTION COPY


                         COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of June 28,
2004 by and between INTEGRATED BUSINESS SYSTEMS AND SERVICES, INC., a South
Carolina corporation (the "Company"), and FUSION CAPITAL FUND II, LLC, an
Illinois limited liability company (the "Buyer"). Capitalized terms used herein
and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 10 hereof.

                                    WHEREAS:

         Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Company wishes to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to buy from the
Company, up to Six Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($6,250,000) of
the Company's common stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"). The shares of
Common Stock to be purchased hereunder, including the shares of Common Stock
initially purchased pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof, are referred to herein as
the "Purchase Shares."

         NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

         1.       PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK.

         Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 9
below, the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby
agrees to purchase from the Company, shares of Common Stock as follows:

         (a) Commencement of Purchases of Common Stock. The purchase and sale of
Common Stock hereunder shall commence (the "Commencement") within five (5)
Trading Days following the date of satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to
the Commencement set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below (or such later date as is
mutually agreed to by the Company and Buyer) (the date of such Commencement, the
"Commencement Date"), provided, however, that on the date hereof, the Buyer
agrees to purchase and the Company agrees to sell 1,250,000 Purchase Shares
("Initial Purchase Shares")at a purchase price per share equal to $0.20
("Initial Purchase Price") and warrants (the "Warrants") in the form of EXHIBIT
F hereto to purchase 937,500 shares of Common Stock ("Warrant Shares") at an
exercise price of $0.40 per share. Upon receipt of the Initial Purchase Shares
in certificated form, the Warrants, and the Initial Commitment Shares in
accordance with Section 4(f) hereof, the Buyer shall pay to the Company $250,000
as full payment for the purchase of the Initial Purchase Shares and the
Warrants.

         (b) Buyer's Purchase Rights and Obligations. Subject to the Company's
right to suspend purchases under Section 1(d)(ii) hereof, the Buyer shall
purchase shares of Common Stock on each Trading Day during each Monthly Period
equal to the Daily Purchase Amount (as defined in Section 1(c)(i)) at the
Purchase Price. Within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of Purchase Shares, the
Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Amount with
respect to such Purchase Shares as full payment for the purchase of the Purchase
Shares so received. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of
Common Stock upon any purchase. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions
thereof) issuable upon a purchase under this Agreement shall be aggregated for
purposes of determining whether the purchase would result in the issuance of a
fraction of a share of Common Stock. If, after the aforementioned aggregation,
the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share


<PAGE>

of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common
Stock up or down to the nearest whole share. All payments made under this
Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by check
or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company
may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the
terms of this Agreement is due on any day that is not a Trading Day, the same
shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Trading Day.

         (c) The Daily Purchase Amount; Company's Right to Decrease or Increase
the Daily Purchase Amount.

                  (i) The Daily Purchase Amount. As used herein the term
         "Original Daily Purchase Amount" shall mean Twelve Thousand Five
         Hundred Dollars ($12,500) per Trading Day. As used herein, the term
         "Daily Purchase Amount" shall mean initially Twelve Thousand Five
         Hundred Dollars ($12,500) per Trading Day, which amount may be
         increased or decreased from time to time pursuant to this Section 1(c).

                  (ii) Company's Right to Decrease the Daily Purchase Amount.
         The Company shall always have the right at any time to decrease the
         amount of the Daily Purchase Amount by delivering written notice (a
         "Daily Purchase Amount Decrease Notice") to the Buyer which notice
         shall specify the new Daily Purchase Amount. The decrease in the Daily
         Purchase Amount shall become effective one Trading Day after receipt by
         the Buyer of the Daily Purchase Amount Decrease Notice. Any purchases
         by the Buyer which have a Purchase Date on or prior to the first (1st)
         Trading Day after receipt by the Buyer of a Daily Purchase Amount
         Decrease Notice must be honored by the Company as otherwise provided
         herein. The decrease in the Daily Purchase Amount shall remain in
         effect until the Company delivers to the Buyer a Daily Purchase Amount
         Increase Notice (as defined below).

                   (iii) Company's Right to Increase the Daily Purchase Amount.
         The Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to increase
         the amount of the Daily Purchase Amount in accordance with the terms
         and conditions set forth in this Section 1(c)(iii) by delivering
         written notice to the Buyer stating the new amount of the Daily
         Purchase Amount (a "Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice"). A Daily
         Purchase Amount Increase Notice shall be effective five (5) Trading
         Days after receipt by the Buyer. The Company shall always have the
         right at any time to increase the amount of the Daily Purchase Amount
         up to the Original Daily Purchase Amount. With respect to increases in
         the Daily Purchase Amount above the Original Daily Purchase Amount, as
         the market price for the Common Stock increases the Company shall have
         the right from time to time to increase the Daily Purchase Amount as
         follows. For every $0.10 increase in Threshold Price above $0.50
         (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization,
         recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar
         transaction), the Company shall have the right to increase the Daily
         Purchase Amount by up to an additional $2,500 in excess of the Original
         Daily Purchase Amount. "Threshold Price" for purposes hereof means the
         lowest Sale Price of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive
         Trading Days immediately prior to the submission to the Buyer of a
         Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice (subject to equitable adjustment
         for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock
         split or other similar transaction). For example, if the Threshold
         Price is $0.60, the Company shall have the right to increase the Daily
         Purchase Amount to up to $15,000 in the aggregate. If the Threshold
         Price is $0.80, the Company shall have the right to increase the Daily
         Purchase Amount to up to $20,000 in the aggregate. Any increase in the
         amount of the Daily Purchase Amount shall continue in effect until the
         delivery to the Buyer of a Daily Purchase Amount Decrease Notice.
         However, if


                                       2
<PAGE>

         at any time during any Trading Day the Sale Price of the Common Stock
         is below the applicable Threshold Price, such increase in the Daily
         Purchase Amount shall be void and the Buyer's obligations to buy
         Purchase Shares hereunder in excess of the applicable maximum Daily
         Purchase Amount shall be terminated. Thereafter, the Company shall
         again have the right to increase the amount of the Daily Purchase
         Amount as set forth herein by delivery of a new Daily Purchase Amount
         Increase Notice only if the Sale Price of the Common Stock is above the
         applicable Threshold Price on each of five (5) consecutive Trading Days
         immediately prior to such new Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice.

         (d) Limitations on Purchases.

                  (i) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not
         effect any sale under this Agreement and the Buyer shall not have the
         right to purchase shares of Common Stock under this Agreement to the
         extent that after giving effect to such purchase the Buyer together
         with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% of the
         outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such purchase. For
         purposes hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
         owned by the Buyer and its affiliates or acquired by the Buyer and its
         affiliates, as the case may be, shall include the number of shares of
         Common Stock issuable in connection with a purchase under this
         Agreement with respect to which the determination is being made, but
         shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be
         issuable upon (1) a purchase of the remaining Available Amount which
         has not been submitted for purchase, and (2) exercise or conversion of
         the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the
         Company (including, without limitation, any warrants) subject to a
         limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
         contained herein beneficially owned by the Buyer and its affiliates. If
         the 4.9% limitation is ever reached the Company shall have the option
         to increase such limitation to 9.9% by delivery of written notice to
         the Buyer. Thereafter, if the 9.9% limitation is ever reached this
         shall not affect or limit the Buyer's obligation to purchase the Daily
         Purchase Amount as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Specifically,
         even though the Buyer may not receive additional shares of Common Stock
         in the event that the 9.9% limitation is ever reached, the Buyer is
         still obligated to pay to the Company the Daily Purchase Amount on each
         Trading Day as otherwise obligated under this Agreement, e.g. no Event
         of Default (as defined in Section 9 hereof) has occurred, nor any event
         which, after notice and/or lapse of time, would become an Event of
         Default. Under such circumstances, the Buyer would have the right to
         acquire additional shares of Common Stock in the future only at such
         time as its ownership subsequently become less than the 9.9%
         limitation. For purposes of this Section, in determining the number of
         outstanding shares of Common Stock the Buyer may rely on the number of
         outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's
         most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (2) a more
         recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written
         communication by the Company or its Transfer Agent setting forth the
         number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the reasonable
         written or oral request of the Buyer, the Company shall promptly
         confirm orally and in writing to the Buyer the number of shares of
         Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding
         shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any
         purchases under this Agreement by the Buyer since the date as of which
         such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. Except
         as otherwise set forth herein, for purposes of this Section 1(d)(i),
         beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section
         13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

                  (ii) Company's Right to Suspend Purchases. The Company may, at
         any time, give written notice (a "Purchase Suspension Notice") to the
         Buyer suspending purchases of Purchase


                                       3
<PAGE>

         Shares by the Buyer under this Agreement. The Purchase Suspension
         Notice shall be effective only for purchases that have a Purchase Date
         later than one (1) Trading Day after receipt of the Purchase Suspension
         Notice by the Buyer. Any purchase by the Buyer that has a Purchase Date
         on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day after receipt by the Buyer
         of a Purchase Suspension Notice from the Company must be honored by the
         Company as otherwise provided herein. Such purchase suspension shall
         continue in effect until a revocation in writing by the Company, at its
         sole discretion. So long as a Purchase Suspension Notice is in effect,
         the Buyer shall not be obligated to purchase any Purchase Shares from
         the Company under Section 1 of this Agreement.

                  (iii) Purchase Price Floor. The Company shall not affect any
         sales under this Agreement and the Buyer shall not have the right nor
         the obligation to purchase any Purchase Shares under this Agreement on
         any Trading Day where the Purchase Price for any purchases of Purchase
         Shares would be less than the Floor Price.

         (e) Records of Purchases. The Buyer and the Company shall each maintain
records showing the remaining Available Amount at any give time and the dates
and Purchase Amounts for each purchase or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Company.

         (f) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp or similar
taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of any
shares of Common Stock to the Buyer made under this Agreement.

or affect the Buyer's right to rely on the Company's representations and
warranties contained in Section 3 below. The Buyer has sought such accounting,
legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed
investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

         (e) No Governmental Review. The Buyer understands that no United States
federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has

with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the
SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any
obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities
laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors'
rights and remedies.

         (h) Residency. The Buyer is a resident of the State of Illinois.

         (i) No Prior Short Selling. The Buyer represents and warrants to the
Company that at no time prior to the date of this Agreement has any of the
Buyer, its agents, representatives or affiliates engaged in or effected, in any
manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any (i) "short sale" (as such term is
defined in Rule 3b-3 of the 1934 Act) of the Common Stock or (ii) hedging
transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common

affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies. The

preferred stock of the Company or the By-laws or (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or result
in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
(including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and
regulations of the Principal Market applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries) or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except in the case of conflicts, defaults and

Effect. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted,
and shall not be conducted, in violation of any law, ordinance, regulation of
any governmental entity, except for possible violations, the sanctions for which
either individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement
and as required under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws, the
Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or
make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or any
regulatory or self-regulatory agency in order for it to execute, deliver or
perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction
Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. Except as disclosed in
Schedule 3(e), all consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations
which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence shall
be obtained or effected on or prior to the Commencement Date. Except as listed
in Schedule 3(e), since January 1, 2003, the Company has not received nor
delivered any notices or correspondence from or to the Principal Market. The
Principal Market has not commenced any delisting proceedings against the
Company.

         (f) SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Except as disclosed in
Schedule 3(f), since January 1, 2003, the Company has timely filed all reports,
schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with
the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date
hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules
thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter
referred to as the "SEC Documents"). As of their respective dates (except as
they have been correctly amended), the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of
the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the
SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC (except as they may have
been properly amended), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates (except as they
have been properly amended), the financial statements of the Company included in
the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the
periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial
statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim
statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or
summary statements) and fairly present in all

                                       8
<PAGE>

material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof
and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments). Except as listed in Schedule 3(f), the Company has received no
notices or correspondence from the SEC since January 1, 2003. The SEC has not
commenced any enforcement proceedings against the Company or any of its
subsidiaries.

         (g) Absence of Certain Changes. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(g),
since March 31, 2004, there has been no material adverse change in the business,
properties, operations, financial condition or results of operations of the
Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company has not taken any steps, and does not
currently expect to take any steps, to seek protection pursuant to any
Bankruptcy Law nor does the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have any
knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

         (h) Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government
agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company,
the Common Stock or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or
the Company's Subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such,
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. A
description of each action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or
by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or
body which, as of the date of this Agreement, is pending or threatened in
writing against or affecting the Company, the Common Stock or any of the
Company's Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or the Company's Subsidiaries'
officers or directors in their capacities as such, is set forth in Schedule
3(h).

         (i) Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer's Status. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of arm's length
purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further acknowledges that the Buyer
is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any
similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given by the Buyer or any of its
representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Buyer's
purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Buyer that the
Company's decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely
on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives and
advisors.

         (j) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of
Regulation D under the 1933 Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the
Securities.

          (k) Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own
or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all material trademarks, trade
names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent
rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental
authorizations, trade secrets and rights necessary to conduct their respective
businesses as now conducted. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(k), none of the
Company's material trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark
registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions,
licenses, approvals, government authorizations, trade secrets or other
intellectual property rights have expired or terminated, or, by the terms and
conditions thereof, could expire or terminate within two years from the date of
this Agreement. The Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any knowledge of
any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any material trademark,
trade name

                                       9
<PAGE>

rights, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, service names,
service marks, service mark registrations, trade secret or other similar rights
of others, or of any such development of similar or identical trade secrets or
technical information by others and, except as set forth on Schedule 3(k), there
is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought against, or to the
Company's knowledge, being threatened against, the Company or its Subsidiaries
regarding trademark, trade name, patents, patent rights, invention, copyright,
license, service names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade secret
or other infringement, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         (l) Environmental Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in
compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws
and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the
environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or
contaminants ("Environmental Laws"), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or
other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct
their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and
conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where, in each of the
three foregoing clauses, the failure to so comply could not reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

         (m) Title. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all
personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
defects except such as are described in Schedule 3(m) or such as do not
materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use
made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its
Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company
and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the
Company and its Subsidiaries.

         (n) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by
insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and
customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are
engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any
insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any such
Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its
existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain
similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its
business at a cost that would not materially and adversely affect the condition,
financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business or operations of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

         (o) Regulatory Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all
material certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of
any such certificate, authorization or permit.

         (p) Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or
filed all federal and state income and all other material tax returns, reports
and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and
only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside
on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and
unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and
charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such
returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith
and has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of
all taxes for

                                       10
<PAGE>

periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations
apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the
taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no
basis for any such claim.

         (q) Transactions With Affiliates. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(q)
and other than the grant or exercise of stock options disclosed on Schedule
3(c), none of the officers, directors, or employees of the Company is presently
a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other
than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract,
agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or
by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise
requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in
which any officer, director, or any such employee has an interest or is an
officer, director, trustee or partner.

         (r) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its board of
directors have taken or will take prior to the Commencement Date all necessary
action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition,
business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights
agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of
Incorporation or the laws of the state of its incorporation which is or could
become applicable to the Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company's issuance of the
Securities and the Buyer's ownership of the Securities.

         (s) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its
Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting
on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has, in the course of its
actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any
unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating
to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any
foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds;
violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff,
influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic
government official or employee.


         4.       COVENANTS.

         (a) Filing of Registration Statement. The Company shall within twenty
(20) Trading Days from the date hereof file a new registration statement
covering the sale of the Commitment Shares, Signing Shares, Warrant Shares and
at least 16,250,000 Purchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the
Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Buyer, dated as of the
date hereof ("Registration Rights Agreement.").

         (b) Blue Sky. The Company shall take such action, if any, as is
reasonably necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify (i) the
initial sale of the Commitment Shares, Signing Shares, Warrant Shares and any
Purchase Shares to the Buyer under this Agreement and (ii) any subsequent resale
of the Commitment Shares, Signing Shares, Warrant Shares and any Purchase Shares
by the Buyer, in each case, under applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws of
the states of the United States in such states as is reasonably requested by the
Buyer from time to time, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken
to the Buyer.

         (c) No Variable Priced Financing. Other than pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company agrees that beginning on the date of this Agreement and
ending on the date of termination of this

                                       11
<PAGE>

Agreement (as provided in Section 11(k) hereof), neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries shall, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, contract
for any equity financing (including any debt financing with an equity component)
or issue any equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary or securities
convertible or exchangeable into or for equity securities of the Company or any
Subsidiary (including debt securities with an equity component) which, in any
case (i) are convertible into or exchangeable for an indeterminate number of
shares of common stock, (ii) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock at a price which varies with the market price of the Common Stock, (iii)
directly or indirectly provide for any "re-set" or adjustment of the purchase
price, conversion rate or exercise price after the issuance of the security, or
(iv) contain any "make-whole" provision based upon, directly or indirectly, the
market price of the Common Stock after the issuance of the security, in each
case, other than reasonable and customary anti-dilution adjustments for issuance
of shares of Common Stock at a price which is below the market price of the
Common Stock.

         (d) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of
the Purchase Shares, Warrant Shares, Signing Shares and Commitment Shares upon
each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon
which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of
issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall
be so listed, such listing of all such securities from time to time issuable
under the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Company shall maintain the
Common Stock's authorization for quotation on the Principal Market. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action that would be
reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock
on the Principal Market. The Company shall promptly, and in no event later than
the following Trading Day, provide to the Buyer copies of any notices it
receives from the Principal Market regarding the continued eligibility of the
Common Stock for listing on such automated quotation system or securities
exchange. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with
satisfying its obligations under this Section.

         (e) Limitation on Short Sales and Hedging Transactions. The Buyer
agrees that beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date of
termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 11(k), the Buyer and its
agents, representatives and affiliates shall not in any manner whatsoever enter
into or effect, directly or indirectly, any (i) "short sale" (as such term is
defined in Rule 3b-3 of the 1934 Act) of the Common Stock or (ii) hedging
transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common
Stock.

         (f) Issuance of Commitment Shares; Limitation on Sales of Commitment
Shares. Immediately upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall
issue to the Buyer 510,715 shares of Common Stock (the "InitialCommitment
Shares"). In connection with each purchase of Purchase Shares hereunder, the
Company agrees to issue to the Buyer a number of shares of Common Stock (the
"Additional Commitment Shares" and together with the Initial Commitment Shares,
the "Commitment Shares") equal to the product of (x) 510,715 and (y) the
Purchase Amount Fraction. The "Purchase Amount Fraction" shall mean a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Purchase Amount purchased by the Buyer with
respect to such purchase of Purchase Shares and the denominator of which is Six
Million Dollars ($6,000,000). The Additional Commitment Shares shall be
equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend,
stock split or other similar transaction. The Initial Commitment Shares shall be
issued in certificated form and (subject to Section 5 hereof) shall bear the
following restrictive legend:

    THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
    UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
    SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND
    MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE,


                                       12
<PAGE>

    SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
    REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
    1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF
    BUYER'S COUNSEL, IN A CUSTOMARY FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
    UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD
    PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

           The Buyer agrees that the Buyer shall not transfer or sell the
Commitment Shares until the earlier of 480 Trading Days (24 Monthly Periods)
from the date hereof or the date on which this Agreement has been terminated,
provided, however, that such restrictions shall not apply: (i) in connection
with any transfers to or among affiliates (as defined in the 1934 Act), (ii) in
connection with any pledge in connection with a bona fide loan or margin
account, (iii) in the event that the Commencement does not occur on or before
September 30, 2004, due to the failure of the Company to satisfy the conditions
set forth in Section 7 or (iv) if an Event of Default has occurred, or any event
which, after notice and/or lapse of time, would become an Event of Default,
including any failure by the Company to timely issue Purchase Shares under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Buyer may transfer Commitment
Shares to a third party in order to settle a sale made by the Buyer where the
Buyer reasonably expects the Company to deliver Purchase Shares to the Buyer
under this Agreement so long as the Buyer maintains ownership of the same
overall number of shares of Common Stock by "replacing" the Commitment Shares so
transferred with Purchase Shares when the Purchase Shares are actually issued by
the Company to the Buyer.

         (g) Due Diligence. The Buyer shall have the right, from time to time as
the Buyer may reasonably deem appropriate, to perform reasonable due diligence
on the Company during normal business hours. The Company and its officers and
employees shall provide information and reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in
connection with any reasonable request by the Buyer related to the Buyer's due
diligence of the Company, including, but not limited to, any such request made
by the Buyer in connection with (i) the filing of the registration statement
described in Section 4(a) hereof and (ii) the Commencement. Each party hereto
agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information of the other party to any
third party and shall not use the Confidential Information for any purpose other
than in connection with, or in furtherance of, the transactions contemplated
hereby. Each party hereto acknowledges that the Confidential Information shall
remain the property of the disclosing party and agrees that it shall take all
reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of any Confidential Information
disclosed by the other party.

         (h) Participation Rights. For a period of 24 months from the date of
this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Buyer a right to participate in
the purchase of any New Securities (as defined below) that the Company may, from
time to time, propose to issue and sell in connection with any financing
transaction, as follows. Not later than 5 Trading Days prior to the execution of
any definitive documentation relating to the sale of any New Securities to any
person or entity other than the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer (a "New
Person"), the Company shall deliver written notice to Buyer of its intent to
enter into any such transaction, describing the New Person and the type of New
Securities in reasonable detail, and attaching to such notice copies of such
definitive documentation. The Buyer shall have 15 Trading Days after receipt of
such notice to purchase an equal amount of such New Securities or any portion
thereof, at the price and on the terms specified in such notice by giving
written notice to the Company specifying the amount of New Securities to be
purchased by the Buyer. In the event the Company has not sold such New
Securities to the New Person within 10 Trading Days after notice thereof to the
Buyer, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities to any
New Person without first again complying with this Section. "New Securities"
shall mean any shares of

                                       13
<PAGE>

Common Stock, preferred stock or any other equity securities of the Company or
securities convertible or exchangeable for equity securities of the Company,
provided, however, that New Securities shall not include, (i) shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of any securities outstanding as of
the date hereof, (ii) shares, options or warrants for Common Stock granted to
officers, directors and employees of the Company pursuant to stock option plans
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iii) shares of Common Stock
or securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock issued pursuant to
the acquisition of another company by consolidation, merger, or purchase of all
or substantially all of the assets of such company or (iv) shares of Common
Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock
issued in connection with a strategic transaction involving the Company and
issued to an entity or an affiliate of such entity that is engaged in the same
or substantially related business as the Company. The Buyer rights hereunder
shall not prohibit or limit the Company from selling any New Securities so long
as the Company makes the same offer to the Buyer as provided herein. Otherwise
the Company shall be prohibited from selling any New Securities to any New
Person until it fully complies herewith.


         5.       TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

         Immediately upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall
deliver to the Transfer Agent a letter in the form as set forth as Exhibit E
attached hereto with respect to the issuance of the Initial Commitment Shares
and Initial Purchase Shares. On the Commencement Date, the Company shall cause
any restrictive legend on the Initial Purchase Shares, Initial Commitment Shares
and the shares of Common Stock issued to the Buyer upon signing that certain
Term Sheet between the Buyer and the Company and dated as of May 25, 2004 (the
"Signing Shares") to be removed and all of the Purchase Shares, Warrant Shares
and Additional Commitment Shares, to be issued under this Agreement shall be
issued without any restrictive legend. The Company shall issue irrevocable
instructions to the Transfer Agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue
Purchase Shares in the name of the Buyer for the Purchase Shares (the
"Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"). The Company warrants to the Buyer
that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
referred to in this Section 5, will be given by the Company to the Transfer
Agent with respect to the Purchase Shares and that the Commitment Shares,
Warrant Shares, Signing Shares and the Purchase Shares shall otherwise be freely
transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent
provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement subject to the
provisions of Section 4(f) in the case of the Commitment Shares.


         6.       CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO COMMENCE
                  SALES OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

         The obligation of the Company hereunder to commence sales of the

conditions on or before the Commencement Date (the date that sales begin) and
once such conditions have been initially satisfied, there shall not be any

         within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, the Company commences a
         voluntary case or any Person commences a proceeding against the
         Company, a Custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or
         substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general

                  (ii) Intentionally Omitted.

                  (iii) In the event that the Commencement shall not have
         occurred on or before September 30, 2004, due to the failure to satisfy
         the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 above with respect to the
         Commencement (and the nonbreaching party's failure to waive such
         unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option

         thereafter without liability of any party to any other party.

                  (iv) If by the Maturity Date (including any extension thereof
         by the Company pursuant to Section 10(g) hereof), for any reason or for
         no reason the full Available Amount under this Agreement has not been
         purchased as provided for in Section 1 of this Agreement, by the Buyer
         without any liability or payment to the Company.

                  (v) At any time after the Commencement Date, the Company shall
         have the option to terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no
         reason by delivering notice (a "Company Termination Notice") to the
         Buyer electing to terminate this Agreement without any liability or
         payment to the Buyer. The Company Termination Notice shall not be
         effective until one (1) Trading Day after it has been received by the
         Buyer.

<PAGE>

                  (vi) This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date
         that the Company sells and the Buyer purchases the full Available
         Amount as provided herein, without any action or notice on the part of
         any party.

Except as set forth in Sections 11(k)(i) (in respect of an Event of Default
under Sections 9(g), 9(h) and 9(i)) and 11(k)(vi), any termination of this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(k) shall be effected by written notice
from the Company to the Buyer, or the Buyer to the Company, as the case may be,

warranties of the Company and the Buyer contained in Sections 2 and 3 hereof,
the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof and the agreements
and covenants set forth in Section 11, shall survive the Commencement and any
termination of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the

pending purchases and the Company and the Buyer shall complete their respective
obligations with respect to any pending purchases under this Agreement.

         (l) No Financial Advisor, Placement Agent, Broker or Finder. The
Company represents and warrants to the Buyer that it has not engaged any
financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby. The Buyer represents and warrants to the
Company that it has not engaged any financial advisor, placement agent, broker
or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company
shall be responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any, of any
financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder relating to or arising out
of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold the
Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and out of pocket expenses) arising in connection
with any such claim.

         (m) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be
deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent,
and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

         (n) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The
Buyer's remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition
to all other remedies available to the Buyer under this Agreement, at law or in
equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive
relief), no remedy of the Buyer contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of
compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein
shall limit the Buyer's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the
Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to
the Buyer and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The
Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened
breach, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

         (o) Changes to the Terms of this Agreement. This Agreement and any
provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the
Company and the Buyer. The term "Agreement" and all reference thereto, as used
throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed,
or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

         (p) Enforcement Costs. If: (i) this Agreement is placed by the Buyer in
the hands of an attorney for enforcement or is enforced by the Buyer through any
legal proceeding; or (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Buyer in any
bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceedings affecting
creditors' rights and involving a claim under this Agreement; or (iii) an
attorney is retained to

                                       24

represent the Buyer in any other proceedings whatsoever in connection with this
Agreement, then the Company shall pay to the Buyer, as incurred by the Buyer,
all reasonable costs and expenses including attorneys' fees incurred in
connection therewith, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

         (q) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay in the
exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power or privilege.
