                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
                          -----------------------------

             THIS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of August 12, 1999, by
and among EMPYREAN GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. (formerly known as "Business Solutions
Group, Inc."), a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), THAYER ITECH HOLDINGS,
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the "Investor"), and each other
Person listed on the Schedule of Holders attached hereto as Exhibit A (together
                     -------------------                    ---------
with the Investor, the "Stockholders").

                                    Recitals:
                                    --------

             A. The Company, the Investor, BSG Holdings, Inc. (the "Parent") and
certain other individuals are parties to a Recapitalization Agreement dated
August 11, 1999 (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Investor and
Parent received shares of the Company's Common Stock and Preferred Stock. In
order to induce the Investor and Parent to enter into the Purchase Agreement,
the Company agreed to provide the registration rights set forth in this
Agreement. Any other Persons who purchase capital stock of the Company may, with
the consent of the Company's Board of Directors and the Investor, become parties
to this Agreement by executing a Joinder Agreement and such Registrable
Securities held by such Person shall be classified in such Joinder Agreement as
either Investor Registrable Securities, Seller Registrable Securities or
Management Registrable Securities, as appropriate.

             B. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, capitalized terms
used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 8 hereof.
                                                 ---------

                                    Agreement
                                    ---------

             The parties hereto agree as follows:

             1. Demand Registrations.
                --------------------

                  (a) Requests for Registration. At any time, the holders of a
                      -------------------------
majority of the Registrable Securities may request registration under the
Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1
or any similar long-form registration ("Long-Form Registrations").

                  (b) Long-Form Registrations. The Investor or the holders of a
                      -----------------------
majority of the Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request (i) two
Long-Form Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses
("Company-paid Long-Form Registrations") and (ii) an unlimited number of
Long-Form Registrations in which the holders of Registrable Securities included
in such registration shall pay their share of the Registration Expenses as set
forth in Section 5 hereof. A registration shall not count as one of the
         ---------
permitted
<PAGE>

Company-paid Long-Form Registrations until it has become effective and no Long-
Form Registration shall count as one of the permitted Company-paid Long-Form
Registrations unless the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register
and sell at least 90% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in
such registration; provided that in any event the Company shall pay all
Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a
Company-paid Long-Form Registration whether or not it has become effective and
whether or not such registration has counted as one of the permitted Company-
paid Long-Form Registrations.

                  (c) Short-Form Registrations. In addition to the Long-Form
                      ------------------------
Registrations provided pursuant to Section l(b), the Investor or the holders of
                                   ------------
a majority of the Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request four
registrations under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable
Securities on Forms S-2 or S-3 or any similar short-form registration
("Short-Form Registrations") in which the Company shall pay all Registration
Expenses. After the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act, the Company shall use its best efforts to make
Short-Form Registrations on Form S-3 available for the sale of Registrable
Securities.

                  (d) Demand Registrations. All registrations requested pursuant
                      --------------------
to Sections l(a), (b) and (c) are referred to herein as "Demand Registrations."
   ------------------     ---
Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is
permitted to use any applicable short form. Each request for a Demand
Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities
requested to be registered and the anticipated per share price range for such
offering. Within ten days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall
give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of
Registrable Securities and, except as provided in Section 1(e) below, shall
                                                  ------------
include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which
the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days
after the receipt of the Company's notice.

                  (e) Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not
                      --------------------------------
include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable
Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities included in such registration. If a Demand Registration
is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in
writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if
permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such
offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of Registrable
Securities making such Demand Registration, the Company shall include in such
registration: (i) first, the Investor Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Investor
Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by such
holders; (ii) second, the Seller Registrable Securities requested to be included
in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Seller Registrable
Securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by such holders; (iii)
third, the Management Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration, pro rata among the holders of such Management Registrable
Securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by such holders; and (iv)
fourth, other

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the
holders thereof on the basis of the number of their securities requested to be
included therein. Without the consent of the Company and the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration, any
Persons other than holders of Registrable Securities who participate in Demand
Registrations must pay their share of the Registration Expenses as provided in
Section 5 hereof.
---------

                  (f) Restrictions on Long-Form Registrations. The Company shall
                      ---------------------------------------
not be obligated to effect any Long-Form Registration within 180 days after the
effective date of a previous Long-Form Registration or a previous registration
in which the holders of Registrable Securities were given piggyback rights
pursuant to Section 2 and in which there was no reduction in the number of
            ---------
Registrable Securities requested to be included. The Company may postpone for up
to 180 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a
Demand Registration if the Company and the holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities agree that such Demand Registration would reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition of assets (other
than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender
offer, reorganization or similar transaction; provided that in such event, the
holders of Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration
shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn,
such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Company-paid
Long Form Registrations hereunder and the Company shall pay all Registration
Expenses in connection with such registration. The Company may delay a Demand
Registration hereunder only once in any twelve-month period.

                  (g) Selection of Underwriters. The holders of a majority of
                      -------------------------
the Registrable Securities included in any Long-Form Registration, which is a
Demand Registration, shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and
manager(s) to administer the offering.

                  (h) Other Registration Rights. Except as provided in this
                      -------------------------
Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any Persons the right to request the
Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities
convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the
prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities.

             2.   Piggyback Registrations.
                  -----------------------

                  (a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to
                      ------------------
register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to
a Demand Registration or a registration on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor
form) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of
Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback Registration"), the Company shall give
prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention
to effect such a registration. The Company shall include in such registration
all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received
written requests for inclusion therein within 25 days after the receipt of the
Company's notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Company's
Initial Public Offering, no Piggyback Registration shall be permitted without
the approval of the Company's Board of Directors.

                  (b) Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the
                      ------------------
holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback
Registrations.

                  (c) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback
                      ---------------------------------
Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company,
and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their
opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration
exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering
within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in
such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell; (ii)
second, the Investor Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration, pro rata among the holders of such Investor Registrable Securities
on the basis of the number of shares owned by such holders; (iii) third, the
Seller Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro
rata among the holders of such Seller Registrable Securities on the basis of the
number of shares owned by such holders; (iv) fourth, the Management Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the
holders of such Management Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of
shares owned by such holders; and (v) fifth, other securities requested to be
included in such registration, pro rata among the holders thereof on the basis
of the number of their securities requested to be included therein; provided,
however that in any Piggyback Registration other than the Initial Public
Offering of the Company's Common Stock, the holders of Registrable Securities
shall be permitted to include in any such registration on pro rata basis not
less than 25% of the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold in
such offering, unless the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
requesting such Piggyback Registration agree in writing to reduce such position
or to waive their rights under this proviso.

                  (d) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback
                      -----------------------------------
Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of
the Company's securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in
writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included
in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner
in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration, the Company
shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be
included therein by the holders requesting such

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

registration, (ii) second, the Investor Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Investor
Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by such
holders; (iii) third, the Seller Registrable Securities requested to be included
in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Seller Registrable
Securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by such holders; (iv)
fourth, the Management Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration, pro rata among the holders of such Management Registrable
Securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by such holders; and (v)
fifth, other securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata
among the holders thereof on the basis of the number of their securities
requested to be included therein

                  (e) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration
                      -------------------------
is an underwritten offering, the selection of investment banker(s) and
manager(s) for the offering must be approved by the Investor. Such approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                  (f) Other Registrations. If the Company has previously filed a
                      -------------------
registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to
Section 1 or pursuant to this Section 2, and if such previous registration has
not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Company shall not file or cause to be
effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities
convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under
the Securities Act (except on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor form), whether
on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities,
until a period of at least 180 days has elapsed from the effective date of such
previous registration, unless a shorter period of time is approved by the
Investor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), or unless such
registration is a "shelf registration" on Form S-3 that the holders of
Registrable Securities have requested to be kept effective for a period of more
than 180 days.

             3. Holdback Agreements.
                -------------------

                  (a) Holders of Registrable Securities. Each holder of
                      ---------------------------------
Registrable Securities shall not effect any public sale or distribution
(including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity securities of the Company, or
any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such
securities, during the seven days prior to and the 120-day period beginning on
the effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten
Piggyback Registration in which Registrable Securities are included (except as
part of such underwritten registration), unless the underwriters managing the
Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration otherwise agree.

                  (b) The Company. The Company shall not effect any public sale
                      -----------
or distribution of any of its equity securities, or any securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days
prior to and during the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of any
underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration
(except as part of such Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration or
pursuant to registrations on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor form), unless
the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree.

<PAGE>

             4.   Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Registrable
                  -----------------------
Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant
to this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the
registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall
as expeditiously as possible:

                  (a) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities
and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective; provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or
any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to the counsel
selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in
such registration statement copies of all such documents proposed to be filed,
which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of such counsel;

                  (b) notify each holder of Registrable Securities of the
effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder and prepare and
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and supplements
to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith
as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period
of not less than 180 days and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration
statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;
provided, however, that if the Company is eligible to use Form S-3, the holders
of Registrable Securities may require the Company to keep such registration
effective as a "shelf registration" for a period of up to two years;

                  (c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such
number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement
thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such seller may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such seller;

                  (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such
Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts
and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller
to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities owned by such seller; provided that the Company shall not be required
to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii) subject itself
to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of
process in any such jurisdiction;

                  (e) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the
Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such
prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

                  (f) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each
securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then
listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on the NASD automated quotation
system and, if listed on the NASD automated quotation system, use its best
efforts to secure designation of all such Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement as a NASDAQ "national market system security" within the
meaning of Rule llAa2-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission or, failing
that, to secure NASDAQ authorization for such Registrable Securities and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two
market makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable Securities
with the NASD;

                  (g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such
Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration
statement;

                  (h) enter into such customary agreements (including
underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as
the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the
underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities (including effecting a stock split or
a combination of shares);

                  (i) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable
Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such
registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by
any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's
officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney,
accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

                  (j) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an
earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months beginning with the
first day of the Company's first full calendar quarter after the effective date
of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

                  (k) permit any holder of Registrable Securities, which holder,
in the Company's sole and exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an
underwriter or a controlling Person of the Company, to participate in the
preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the
insertion therein of material furnished to the Company in writing, which in the
reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included;

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

                  (l) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or
preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of
any common stock included in such registration statement for sale in any
jurisdiction, the Company shall use its best efforts promptly to obtain the
withdrawal of such order;

                  (m) subject to Section 4(d) above, use its best efforts to
                                 ------------
cause any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities
as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition
of such Registrable Securities;

                  (n) obtain a cold comfort letter from the Company's
independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of
the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request; provided
that such Registrable Securities constitute at least 10% of the securities
covered by such registration statement; and

                  (o) if the offering is underwritten, and at the request of any
seller of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to furnish on the date
that Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant
to such registration an opinion dated such date of counsel representing the
Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and
to such seller, stating that such registration statement has become effective
under the Securities Act and that (i) to the best knowledge of such counsel, no
stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no
proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated
under the Securities Act, (ii) the registration statement, the related
prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereof comply as to form in all
material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act (except that such
counsel need not express any opinion as to financial statements contained
therein) and (iii) to such other matters as reasonably may be requested by
counsel for the underwriters or by such seller or its counsel.

             5.   Registration Expenses.
                  ---------------------

                  (a) Payment of Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to
                      --------------------------------

without limitation all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of
compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and

without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or
quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and
fees for listing the securities to be

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed or on, the NASD automated quotation system.

                  (b) Reimbursement of Registration Expenses. In connection with
                      --------------------------------------
each Demand Registration and each Piggyback Registration, the Company shall
reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration
for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration and
for the reasonable fees and disbursements of each additional counsel retained by
any holder of Registrable Securities for the purpose of rendering a legal
opinion on behalf of such holder in connection with any underwritten Demand
Registration or Piggyback Registration.

                  (c) Payment of Registration Expenses by Holders of Registrable
                      ----------------------------------------------------------
Securities. To the extent Registration Expenses are not required to be paid by
----------
the Company, each holder of securities included in any registration hereunder
shall pay those Registration Expenses allocable to the registration of such
holder's securities so included, and any Registration Expenses not so allocable
shall be payable by all sellers of securities included in such registration in
proportion to the aggregate selling price of the securities to be so registered.

            6.    Indemnification.
                  ---------------

                  (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to
                      ------------------------------
indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable
Securities, its officers and directors and each Person who controls such holder
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are
caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by
such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder's failure to deliver a
copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder with a
sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten
offering, the Company shall indemnify such underwriters, their officers and
directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of
the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.

                  (b) Indemnification by the Holders of Registrable Securities.
                      --------------------------------------------------------
In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable
Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in
writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for
use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the
extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers
and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities
Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting
from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the
registration statement,

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but
only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any
information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder; provided that
the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each
holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such
holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration
statement.

                  (c) Procedure for Indemnification. Any Person entitled to
                      -----------------------------
indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the
indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification
(provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person's
right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced
the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable
judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying
parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to
assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not
be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party
without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An
indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense
of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one
counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to
such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a
conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of
such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.

                  (d) Survival. The indemnification provided for under this
                      --------
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or
controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of
securities.

             7.   Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may
                  -------------------------------------------
participate in any registration hereunder unless such Person:

                  (a) in the case of a registration which is underwritten,
agrees to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder
to approve such arrangements; provided, however, that no holder of less than 10%
of any Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration (other
than an executive officer or director of the Company) shall be required to make
any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than
representations and warranties regarding such holder and such holder's intended
method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the
Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided
in Section 6 hereof;
   ---------

                  (b) as expeditiously as possible, notifies the Company, at any
time when a prospectus relating to such Person's Registrable Securities is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event
as a result of which such prospectus

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading;

                  (c) complies with all reasonable requests made by the Company
or its counsel with respect to the registration of such Person's Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, providing access to all relevant
books and records; and

                  (d) completes, executes and delivers all questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other usual and
customary documents necessary or appropriate with respect to the offering of
such Person's Registrable Securities, and in the case of a registration which is
underwritten, necessary or appropriate under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements (subject to the provision in Section 7(a) above).

                             CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

     This Contribution AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as
of August 12, 1999, by and among Empyrean Group Holdings, Inc. (formerly,
Business Solutions Group, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the
members of the Company's management team named on the signature page hereto
(each, an "Executive" and, together, the "Executives"), and each other person
who hereafter acquires Management Shares (as such term is defined below) and
executes a Joinder Agreement agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof. Terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Company's Management Agreements (as hereinafter defined).

                                    Recitals
                                    --------

     A. Pursuant to those certain Senior Management Agreements (individually a
"Management Agreement" and collectively, the "Management Agreements"), each
dated approximately as of the date hereof with each of the Executives 10,000,000
shares in the aggregate of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share,
have been reserved for issuance to each of the Executives (the "Management
Shares"), subject to certain vesting conditions as set forth in each of the
Management Agreements.

     B. In the event that the board of directors of the Company (the "Board")
resolves to issue Management Shares to a new manager or executive of the Company
or its subsidiaries (a "New Executive") pursuant to a Management Agreement
between the Company and the New Executive, each of the Executives hereby agrees
to resell to the Company for resale to the New Executive a portion of each
Executive's Management Shares as determined pursuant to this Agreement.

                                   Agreement
                                   ---------

     NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Company to employ such New Executive, which
employment shall reasonably be expected to benefit each of the Executives by
enhancing the value of the Company and the Management Shares, each of the
parties intending to be legally bound hereby agree as follows:

     1. Resale of Shares. In the event that, prior to the effective date of an
        ----------------
Initial Public Offering, the Company elects, upon approval of the Board,
including the vote of all Executives then members of the Board, to offer shares
of its Common Stock to a New Executive, then each Executive shall be required to
sell to the Company the number of Management Shares held by such Executive
determined pursuant to Section 3 below (a "Reoffer Sale"). Each Executive in
                       ---------

                                       1
<PAGE>

such Reoffer Sale (i) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of sale
and (ii) shall execute such documents and take such actions as may be reasonably
required by the Board.

     2. Reoffer Notice. The Company shall provide each Executive with written
        --------------
notice (the "Reoffer Notice") of a Reoffer Sale at least ten (10) days prior to
the date of consummation of such repurchase (the "Reoffer Sale Date"). Each
Reoffer Notice shall set forth: (i) the identity of the New Executive in the
Reoffer Sale, (ii) the price and the other general terms of the proposed sale of
Management Shares to the New Executive; (iii) the number of Management Shares to
be repurchased from each Executive; and (iv) the Reoffer Sale Date.

     3. Calculation of Number of Reoffer Shares. The number of Management Shares
        ---------------------------------------
to be repurchased from each Executive in a Reoffer Sale shall be determined by
the following formula:

           EROS = ROS x (EMS / TMS)

           WHERE:

           EROS = The number of Management Shares to be repurchased from
                  the Executive in the Reoffer Sale.

           ROS = The number of Management Shares to be sold to the New Executive

           EMS = The number of Management Shares then owned by Executive

           TMS = The total number of Management Shares owned by all
                 Executives as a group.

     For example, if the Company proposes to sell 1,000 shares of Common Stock
to a New Executive, the total number of Management Shares outstanding owned by
all Executives is 25,000 and an individual Executive owns 5,000 Management
Shares, then the number of shares to be repurchased from such Executive is 200
shares (EROS = 1,000 x (5,000 / 25,000) or 1,000 x .20 = 200)

     4. Shares Repurchased; Purchase Price. The Management Shares to be
        ----------------------------------
repurchased from an Executive shall be repurchased from an Executive's Vested
Shares and Unvested Shares on a pro rata basis (i.e., 50% of such shares shall
be repurchased from Executive's Time Vesting Shares (proportional among the Time
Vesting Shares then vested and unvested) and 50% from Executive's Performance
Vesting Shares). The repurchase price for Management Shares repurchased by the
Company in the Reoffer Sale shall be paid in cash and shall be equal to the
greater of (i) the purchase price to be paid by the New Executive for such
shares and (ii) the purchase price originally paid by the Executive for such
Management Shares.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     5. Consummation. At least two (2) days prior to the date of consummation of
        ------------
a Reoffer Sale, each Executive shall deliver to the Company one or more
certificates, together with stock power, which represent all of the Management
Shares to be repurchased from such Executive. Upon receipt of the proceeds of
the Reoffer Sale, the Company shall promptly remit to each Executive that
portion of such proceeds to which such Executive is entitled by reason of such
Executive's participation in such sale.

     6. Legend. All certificates evidencing Management Shares restricted by this
        ------
Agreement shall bear a legend indicating the existence of the restrictions
imposed hereby and a stop transfer order may be placed with respect to such
securities. The legend referred to in the preceding sentence shall be
substantially in the following form:

                  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE
                          SUBJECT TO THE REPURCHASE RIGHTS CONTAINED

                          GROUP, INC.), AND CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS
                          THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN
                          ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH AGREEMENT. A COPY OF SUCH
                          AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE
                          OF EMPYREAN GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. AND WILL BE
                          FURNISHED UPON REQUEST TO THE HOLDER OF RECORD
                          OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
                          CERTIFICATE.

     7. Amendment. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement,
        ---------
this Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by the written agreement of
the Company, the Investor and the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of all
outstanding shares of Common Stock held by the Executives.

     8. Entire Agreement; Successors; Third Parties. This Agreement contains the
        -------------------------------------------
entire agreement among the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby and supersedes all prior arrangements or understandings with respect
thereto, written or oral. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors, heirs, executors, administrators and permitted assigns. Except as
specifically set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations
or liabilities.

     9. Notices. All notices or other communications which are required or
        -------
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally,
by facsimile or sent by

                                       3
<PAGE>

overnight express or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at the
addresses of each Executive and the Company set forth in the Management
Agreement of even date herewith.

     10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
         ------------
counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original
instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one
agreement.

     11. Governing Law and Venue. The validity, interpretation, construction and
         -----------------------
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Virginia applicable to agreements made and entirely to be performed within such
jurisdiction. The party bringing any action under this Agreement shall only be
entitled to choose the federal or local courts in the Eastern District of
Virginia as the venue for such action, and each party consents to the
jurisdiction of the court chosen in such manner for such action.

     12. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and the
         ------------
unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the
enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that
it is their intention that if any provision of this Agreement is determined by a
court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as drafted, that provision should
be construed in a manner designed to effectuate the purpose of that provision to
the greatest extent possible under applicable law.

     13. Transfers; Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Prior to Transferring
         ----------------------------------------------
any Management Securities to any Person, the transferring Executive shall cause
the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder to
this Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Management Securities
in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company
shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of
such Management Securities as the owner of such shares for any purpose.

     14. Specific Performance. The rights of the parties under this Agreement
         --------------------
are unique and the failure of a party to perform its obligations hereunder would
irreparably harm the other parties hereto. Accordingly, the parties shall, in
addition to such other remedies as may be available at law or in equity, have
the right to enforce their rights hereunder by actions for specific performance
to the extent permitted by law.

     15. Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute all
         ------------------
such further instruments and documents and to take all such further action as
any other party may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and
purposes of this Agreement.
