Merger, dated as of July 28, 2005 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among CSI,
ISI Merger Corp., Integrated Strategies, Inc., ISI Consulting, LLC and Holder.
The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder of this Note and the
terms and conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by
acceptance of this Note, agrees:

      1. Principal Repayment. The outstanding principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined), unless
this Note has been prepaid in accordance with the terms set forth below.

      2. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal of this Note at
a simple annual interest rate equal to five percent (5%) per annum from the date
hereof and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. All computations of
the interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days based on
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day) and only on the principal amount hereof or of any such portion which
is outstanding. Should the rate of interest as calculated under this Note exceed
that allowed by law, the applicable rate of interest will be the maximum rate of
interest allowed by applicable law.

      3. Maturity Date. The principal amount of this Note, together with all
interest accrued thereon, shall be due and payable by 5:00 PM Eastern Standard
Time on October 28, 2006 (the "Maturity Date").

      4. Prepayment. CSI shall have the right, at any time prior to the Maturity
Date, at its election on five (5) business days' prior written notice, to
prepay, without penalty or premium, the principal amount of this Note, in whole
or in part, together with interest on the portion of the principal so prepaid
accrued to the date of prepayment.

      5. Subordination. By acceptance of this Note, the Holder, for itself and
its successors and permitted assigns, acknowledges and agrees for the benefit of
CSI, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., Sands Brothers Venture Capital LLC, Sands
Brothers Venture Capital III LLC, Sands Brothers Venture Capital IV LLC, Taurus
Advisory Group, LLC, Scott Newman and Glenn Peipert (collectively, the "Senior
Debt Holder") and their respective successors and assigns, that, notwithstanding
any provision of this Note to the contrary, the payment of any interest,
principal or any other amounts under this Note, and the performance by CSI of
its obligations hereunder, is and shall be expressly subordinated and junior in
right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), whether now existing or hereafter
arising, and is hereby subordinated as a claim against CSI or any of the assets
of CSI, whether such claim be in the event of any distribution of the assets of
CSI, upon any reorganization or composition or bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other statutory or common law proceedings or arrangements
involving CSI or the readjustment of its liabilities or any assignment for the
benefit of creditors or any marshaling of its assets or liabilities or any
general failure of CSI to pay its debts as they become due. All rights of the
Holder hereunder are expressly subject to the rights of the Senior Debt Holder.

<PAGE>

      As used herein, the term "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean all amounts owed
by CSI to the Senior Debt Holder under, and all obligations of CSI pursuant to
the debt obligations listed on page 48 in CSI's Registration Statement on Form
SB-2/A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 13, 2005.

      6. Payment. All payments with respect to this Note shall be made in lawful
money of the United States of America at such place as the Holder hereof may
reasonably designate in writing to CSI. Payment shall be credited first to the
accrued interest then due and payable and the remainder applied to principal.

      7. No Security. This Note is unsecured.

      8. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note. In case this Note shall
become mutilated or defaced, or be destroyed, lost or stolen, CSI shall execute
and deliver a new note of like principal amount in exchange and substitution for
the mutilated or defaced Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the
destroyed, lost or stolen Note. In the case of a mutilated or defaced Note, the
Holder shall surrender such Note to CSI. In the case of any destroyed, lost or
stolen Note, the Holder shall furnish to CSI: (a) evidence to its satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note, and (b) such security or
indemnity as may be reasonably required by CSI to hold CSI harmless.

      9. Assignment. The rights and obligations of CSI and the Holder of this
Note shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, their permitted
successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Holder may not assign, pledge or otherwise transfer this Note
without the prior written consent of CSI. Payment under this Note shall be made
only to the registered holder of this Note.

      10. Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note, including, without
limitation, the due date hereof, and the observance of any term hereof, may be
amended, waived or modified (either generally or in a particular instance and
either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of CSI and
the Holder.

      11. Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given if personally delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, or delivered by facsimile transmission, to CSI or to the Holder at the
