THIS CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE
UPON CONVERSION 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. THIS DEBENTURE CONTAINS A CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT PROVISION WHICH
MAY ALLOW THE LENDER TO OBTAIN A JUDGMENT WITHOUT PROVIDING PRIOR NOTICE OR AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.

                       CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE

U.S. $50,000.00                                                   March 27, 2001

        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), promises to pay to the order of the holder
of this Debenture named below (the "Holder"), the principal sum of FIFTY
THOUSAND and No Hundredths UNITED STATES DOLLARS (U.S.$50,000), or so much as
has been paid by the Holder pursuant to Section 2 below on March 26, 2005 (the
"Maturity Date").

        1.     Interest. Amounts outstanding under this Debenture will accrue
               --------
interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until paid. Interest will be
calculated on the basis of three hundred sixty (360) days per year for the
actual number of days elapsed. The Company's interest calculations will control
absent manifest error.

        2.     Payment. Unless previously paid as provided in Section 4 below,
               -------
the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest hereon, will be due and payable on the Maturity Date, at the address of
the Holder stated below or at such other place as the Holder hereof may
designate in writing to the Company. All payments hereunder received from the
Company by the Holder will be applied first to interest to the extent then
accrued and then to principal.

        3.     Conversion.
               ----------

               3.1  Conversion by the Holder. Subject to the terms and
                    ------------------------
conditions of this Section 3, the Holder will have the right, at its option at
any time, to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of this
Debenture (in increments of not less than $25,000) into the number of fully paid
and nonassessable whole shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001
("Common Stock") as is obtained by dividing the aggregate amount of unpaid
principal balance by the conversion price of
<PAGE>

$0.10 per share, as such price is appropriately adjusted for events described in
Section 6 below (such price, or such price as last adjusted, being referred to
herein as the "Conversion Price"). Such rights of conversion may be exercised by
the Holder by giving written notice to the Company that the Holder elects to
convert a stated amount of principal and/or interest into Common Stock and by
surrender of this Debenture to the Company at its principal office (or such
other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in
writing to the Holder) at any time during its usual business hours, together
with a statement of the name or names (with address), subject to compliance with
applicable laws to the extent such designation will involve a transfer, in which
the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued.

               3.2. Issuance of Certificates; Time Conversion Effected. Promptly
                    --------------------------------------------------
after receipt by the Company of the written notice referred to in Section 3.1
and surrender of this Debenture, the Company will issue and deliver, or cause to
be issued and delivered, to the Holder, registered in such name or names as the
Holder may direct, subject to compliance with applicable laws to the extent such
designation will involve a transfer, a certificate or certificates for the
number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this
Debenture. To the extent permitted by law, such conversion will be deemed to
have been effected and the Conversion Price will be determined as of the close
of business on the date on which the Company receives written notice and this
Debenture has been surrendered as aforesaid, and at such time the rights of the
Holder will cease (with respect to this Debenture), and the person or persons in
whose name or names any certificate or certificates for the shares issuable upon
conversion will be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the
shares represented thereby.

               4.   Prepayment by the Company. The Company may redeem or prepay
                    -------------------------
all or any portion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture
then held by the Holder for an amount equal to: (i) one hundred twenty-five
percent (125%) of the outstanding principal of the Debenture to be redeemed
before the first anniversary of the date of this Debenture; (ii) one hundred
fifty percent (150%) of the outstanding principal of the Debenture to be
redeemed between the first and second anniversary of the date of this Debenture;
and (iii) one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of the outstanding principal
of the Debenture to be redeemed between the second and third anniversary of the
date of this Debenture. The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice
("Redemption Notice") of its intent to redeem or prepay any portion of the
Debenture pursuant to this Section 4 at the address of the Holder stated below
or at such other place as the Holder hereof may designate in writing to the
Company. Within ten (10) days of the Holder's receipt of the Redemption Notice,
the Holder may elect to convert that portion of the Debenture to be redeemed or
prepaid by the Company into shares of Common Stock by providing the Company with
proper notice in accordance with Section 3.1 above. If the Holder does not
timely elect to convert that portion of the Debenture to be redeemed or repaid,
the Holder will surrender this Debenture to the Company for redemption or
repayment in accordance with the Redemption Notice.

               5.   Fractional Shares; Partial Conversion. No fractional shares
                    -----------------
will be issued upon conversion or exchange of this Debenture into Common Stock
and the number of shares to be issued will be rounded to the nearest whole
share. In case of a partial conversion the Company will, upon

                                       2
<PAGE>

such conversion, execute and deliver to the Holder a new debenture representing
that portion of this Debenture that is not converted.

               6.   Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will
                    -------------------------------
be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

               6.1  Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. If at any time
                    ---------------------------------------
there is a reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation or entity when the Company is not the surviving entity, or
the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any
other person or entity under any plan or arrangement contemplating the
dissolution of the Company, then in each such case, the Company or such
successor entity will execute a new Debenture which will contain provisions
relating to the rights and obligations of the Holder and the Company after such
reorganization, consolidation or merger that will have, as nearly as possible
after such adjustment, the same effect as the provisions of this Debenture,
including the provisions of this Debenture relating to the Conversion Price and
the number and type of shares deliverable upon conversion or exchange. The
Holder will have the right to convert such Debenture and, upon such conversion,
to receive in lieu of each share of stock issuable upon the Conversion of this
Debenture, the number and kind of shares of stock, other securities, money or
other property receivable upon such reorganization, consolidation or merger by a
holder of the number of shares into which this Debenture is convertible or
exchangeable and the Conversion Price of this Debenture will be appropriately
adjusted.

               6.2  Adjustments for Stock Dividends and Splits. In the event the
                    ------------------------------------------
Company should at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, fix a
record date for a stock split, or subdivision of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (except in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially
all of its assets) or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to
receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common
Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder
thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock
(hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any
consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the
Common Stock Equivalents, then, as of such record date (or the date of such
dividend, distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the
Conversion Price will be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of this Debenture will be
increased in proportion to the increase of outstanding shares resulting from
such stock split, stock dividend, distribution or subdivision.

               6.3  Reverse Stock Splits. In the event the Company should at any
                    --------------------
time or from time to time after the date hereof, fix a record date for a reverse
stock split, or a transaction having a similar effect on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (except in connection with the
merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets), then, as of such
record date (or the date of such reverse stock split or similar transaction if
no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price will be appropriately increased
so that the number of shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of this
Debenture will be decreased in proportion to the decrease of outstanding shares
resulting from the reverse stock split or similar transaction.

                                       3
<PAGE>

               6.4  Reclassification. In the event the Company should at any
                    ----------------
time or from time to time after the date hereof, fix a record date for a
reclassification of its Common Stock, then, as of such record date (or the date
of the reclassification if no record date is set), this Debenture will
thereafter be convertible or exchangeable into such number and kind of
securities as would have been issuable as the result of such reclassification to
a holder of a number of shares equal to the number of shares issuable upon
conversion or exchange of this Debenture immediately prior to such
reclassification.

               6.5. Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Conversion
                    --------------------
Price, then and in each such case the Company will give written notice thereof,
by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address of
the Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice will state the
Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is
based.

               7.   Stock to be Reserved. Until such time as this Debenture has
                    --------------------
been converted or exchanged into shares of Common Stock or paid in full, the
Company will reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to permit the conversion or exchange of the entire
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture. All shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion or exchange of this Debenture will be fully paid and
nonassessable.

               8.   Issue and Transfer Tax. The issuance of certificates for
                    ----------------------
shares of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of this Debenture will be
made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof,
provided that the Company will not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
certificate in a name other than that of the Holder.

               9.   Security. This Debenture is secured only by the general
                    --------
credit of the Company, and not by any mortgage, deed of trust or security
interest in or upon any real or personal property.

               10.  Agreement to Subordinate. The Holder agrees that the payment
                    ------------------------
of the principal and interest accrued on this Debenture is subordinate and
junior in right of payment to (i) all prior secured borrowings or obligations of
the Company, including any extension or renewal of such prior secured borrowings
or obligations, (ii) any obligations of the Company under the Company's line of
credit, including any subsequent draws made on such line of credit, and (iii)
any purchase money mortgages, financing leases, conditional sales, or other
financed purchases whether or not secured by a purchase money mortgage, now
outstanding or made subsequently in the ordinary course of business. Upon the
voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Company, all indebtedness that is
senior to this Debenture shall be paid in full before any payment may be made by
the Company under this Debenture.

               11.  Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Debenture will be
                    ------------------------------
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
without regard to conflicts of

                                       4
<PAGE>

laws principles. The Company covenants and agrees that the courts of Delaware
will have jurisdiction of any legal action or proceeding involving this
Debenture.

               12.  Severability. In the event any provision (or any part of any
                    ------------
provision) contained in this Debenture is for any reason finally held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any
other provision (or remaining part of the affected provision) of this Debenture;
but this Debenture will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had never been contained herein, but
only to the extent it is invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

     THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of April 3, 2001, by
and between THOMAS STONE ("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

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, ten (10) Units, in exchange

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. The PURCHASER's rights,
duties and obligations in connection with the Units are further defined in
certain Registration Rights Agreement, Security Agreement, and letter agreement
between the parties of even date herewith.

                 -------------------------
by the PURCHASER in installments ("Installments") as follows:
<PAGE>

            simultaneously with execution of this Agreement;

     (b)    One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to be paid by PURCHASER on

     (c)    Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) to be paid by PURCHASER on or
            before that date which is sixty (60) calendar days from the date of
            this Agreement.

     Section 3.  Partial Issuance and Delivery of Units.  Notwithstanding the
                 --------------------------------------
terms of Section 1 of this Agreement to the contrary, upon the payment of each
Installment, PURCHASER shall be entitled to receive, and the SELLER hereby
agrees to issue and deliver, a corresponding number of Units.

     Section 4.  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.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                 (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.

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

            (a)  Seller Reports and Financial Statements.
                 ---------------------------------------

                 (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
