Date"), the Company represents as follows:

      (a) Valid Issuance. The Common Stock issuance upon conversion of the Note,
when issued in accordance with the Note, will represent validly authorized, duly
issued and fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company, and the issuance
thereof will not conflict with the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
Company nor with any outstanding warrant, option, call, preemptive right or
commitment of any type relating to the Company's capital stock.

      (b) Other Representations and Agreements.

            (i) Use of Proceeds. The Company agrees that it, or a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, shall use not less than twenty percent (20%) of the
proceeds received from this subscription for the Information Technology (as that
term is understood by the undersigned and the Company) requirements of the
Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Additionally, the Company
will reserve a reasonable percentage of the funds received in from this
subscription, but in no event shall such percentage exceed ten percent (10%) of

its continuing efforts on behalf of the Company pursuant to that certain
consulting agreement by and between the Company and the undersigned dated the
date hereof. The remainder of the proceeds received from this subscription shall
only be used by the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company for

                                       2
<PAGE>

            (ii) Right of First Refusal - Future Financing. For eighteen (18)
months from and after the date hereof, in the event that the Company solicits,
or is advised by an investment banker or financing specialist to solicit,
investment capital by means of any private placement of securities or other
financing efforts utilizing securities of the Company, the Company shall first
offer to the undersigned the ability to participate in all or part of such
private placement or financing. The undersigned shall accept or reject the offer
within five business (5) days of receipt of the offer. Such response shall be
made in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or via overnight
mail. If the undersigned does not accept such offer within such five (5)
business day period, such offer shall be deemed rejected for purposes of this
Agreement. In the event that the undersigned agrees to provide such future
financing, the undersigned shall be required to provide such financing at a
discounted commission rate of five percent (5%).

            (iii) Registration of Shares. Not later than December 15, 1999, the
Company shall effect a registration under the Securities Act of all shares of
common stock owned by the undersigned and which the undersigned requests to be
registered. The Company will bear all registration expenses (exclusive of
underwriting discounts and commissions) of all registrations of the securities
owned by the undersigned.

                  If the Company intends to distribute any of the registered
shares of the undersigned and/or any other shareholder and/or the Company
pursuant to an underwriting and the underwriter advises the Company in writing
that marketing factors require a limitation of shares to be underwritten, the
number of shares of the undersigned to be included in such underwriting shall
not be reduced, pro rata or otherwise, unless all other securities are first
entirely excluded from the underwriting or upon receipt of the written consent
of the undersigned waiving such right, which consent may be withheld for any or
no reason. If despite the best efforts of the Company, the total number of
shares requested by the undersigned to be registered cannot be so included, the
Company shall purchase from the undersigned that number of shares which was
unable to be included in the underwritten offering at the price per share
received in the offering.

                  If the Company shall furnish to the undersigned a certificate
signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company providing that in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement
to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer taking action
with respect to such filing for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days;
provided, however, in the event that the Company shall fail to have a
registration statement declared effective by the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") by December 15, 1999 for any reason whatsoever,
including pursuant to the terms of this paragraph, as compensation for the
breach of the terms of this Subscription Agreement by the Company, the Company
shall immediately transfer to the undersigned 120,000 shares of common stock.
For each successive thirty (30) day period commencing on December 16, 1999 that
the Company does not have an effective registration statement filed with the
SEC, the Company shall transfer to the undersigned an additional 120,000

                                       3
<PAGE>

shares of common stock. The Company shall not have the right to defer
registration more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

            (iv) Additional Registration Rights. The undersigned shall be
entitled to unlimited "piggyback" registration rights in connection with all
registrations of securities by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or
in connection with any demand registration of any shareholder of the Company
(except for registrations on Form S-8 or Form S-4). The Company will bear all
registration expenses (exclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions) of
all piggyback registrations by the undersigned.

            (v) Sale of Additional Investor Shares. From and after the date
hereof, in the event that the Company in any non-public offering sells any
common stock at a price per share that is less than $0.50, then for no
additional consideration, the Company shall immediately transfer to the
undersigned that number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the
difference between (1) the number of shares which would have been issuable upon
conversion of the Note at the lesser price per share of such subsequently sold
securities and (2) the number of shares issuable under the Note.

            (vi) Co-Sale Rights. The Company shall, and shall cause its officers
and directors (collectively with the Company the "Shareholders") to, grant to
the undersigned a right of co-sale (on a pro-rata basis) such that upon notice
to the undersigned of any non-public sale or disposition of shares of the
Company by such Shareholders and/or the Company, the undersigned, upon written
notice to the Company and/or the selling Shareholders, shall be entitled to
participate, pro-rata as determined by each party's percentage ownership in the
Company, in such sale of shares of the Company on the same terms and conditions
as the Company and/or the selling Shareholders.

            In the event the Company or a Shareholder sells any shares in
contravention of the co-sale rights of the undersigned under this Agreement (a
"Prohibited Transfer"), the undersigned, in addition to such other remedies as
may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, shall have the "put" option
provided below, and the Company and the Shareholders shall be bound by the
applicable provisions of such option.

            In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, the undersigned shall have
the right to sell to the Company the number of shares equal to the number of
shares the undersigned would have been entitled to transfer to the purchaser
hereunder had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in
compliance with the terms hereof. Such sale shall be made on the following terms
and conditions:

                  (1) The price per share at which the shares are to be sold to
the Company shall be equal to the price per share paid by the purchaser to the
Shareholder or the Company in the Prohibited Transfer. The Company shall also
reimburse the undersigned for any and all fees and expenses, including
reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the
attempted exercise of the undersigned's rights hereunder.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (2) Within ninety (90) days after the later of the dates on
which the undersigned either (A) received notice of the Prohibited Transfer or
(B) otherwise became aware of the Prohibited Transfer, the undersigned shall, if
exercising the option created hereby, deliver to the Company the certificate or
certificates representing shares to be sold, each certificate to be properly
endorsed for transfer.

                  (3) The Company shall, upon receipt of the certificate or
certificates for the shares to be sold by the undersigned pursuant to this
Subsection, pay the aggregate purchase price therefore and the amount of
reimbursable fees and expense in cash or by other means acceptable to the
undersigned.

            (vii) Marketability. Prior to becoming a fully reporting company
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the
Company shall maintain adequate current public information in satisfaction of
the requirements for resales of restricted stock pursuant to Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 15c-2(11)
promulgated under the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to, the
publication over a nationally recognized reporting service or newswire of annual
audited financial statements and semi-annual interim unaudited balance sheets
and income statements it being understood that the Company does not currently
have audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1998. After the
Company becomes a fully reporting company, the Company shall file all reports
required under the Exchange Act.

            (viii) Stock Splits. In order to induce the undersigned to enter
into this subscription agreement and to facilitate the closing of the
transaction contemplated hereby, the Company represents and warrants to the
undersigned that from and after the date hereof, the Company will not engage in
any manner of reverse split without the prior written consent of the
undersigned, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

            (ix) Mandatory Offer of Redemption. In the event that the Company
sells any of its common stock in any secondary public offering, whether
underwritten or not, immediately following the earlier of the receipt of the
proceeds from such offering or the closing of the offering transaction the
Company will make an offer to the undersigned to purchase an amount of the
Company's common stock from the undersigned with a value of up to ten percent
(10%) of the total value of the offering. The offer to the undersigned shall be
at the same price per share as received by the Company in the offering. For
example, if the Company closes a public sale for 1,000,000 shares of common
stock at $5.00 per share (aggregate offering price of $5,000,000.00), the
Company must offer to redeem 100,000 shares of common stock from the undersigned
at $5.00 per share. Nothing in this subsection (ix) shall obligate the
undersigned to accept the redemption offer by the Company; however, any
acceptance by the undersigned must be received within five (5) business days
from receipt by the undersigned of a written offer from the Company.

                                       5

            (x) Consulting Agreement. The Company recognizes that the
undersigned has certain expertise in business, management, investment and
financial matters which would be beneficial to the Company and its subsidiaries.
Accordingly, the Company and the undersigned shall enter into a consulting
agreement on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to the Company and the
undersigned.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Undersigned. The undersigned hereby
represents and warrants to the Company and to each officer, director, and agent

      undersigned has also had an opportunity to ask questions of officers of
      the Company, which questions were answered to his satisfaction. The
      undersigned understands that such discussions were intended to describe

      understands that, unless it notifies the Company in writing to the
      contrary at or before the Closing, all the undersigned's representations

      legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and owning the Note and

      made by the undersigned in this Agreement. The undersigned understands
      that the Company is relying upon the representations and agreements
      contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the

      or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration
      of the Common Stock under the Securities Act and all applicable State
      Securities Laws or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration
      provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws;
      and (ii) that the Company and any transfer agent for the Common Stock
      shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of any of
      the Common Stock except upon compliance with the foregoing provisions.

                         WARRANT SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Affinity International Travel Systems, Inc.
100 Second Avenue South
Suite 303 N
St. Petersburg, Florida 33701

Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Affinity International Travel Systems, Inc., a
Nevada corporation (the "Company"), is offering for sale a warrant (the
"Warrant") to purchase 750,000 shares of its Common Stock, $0.001 par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), at $1.75 per share.

The undersigned further understands that the offering of the Warrant and any
subsequent exercise of the Warrant and purchase of the Common Stock are being
made without registration of the Warrant and/or the Common Stock subject to the
Warrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in
reliance on an exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving a public
offering, and further understands that the undersigned is purchasing the Warrant
and upon exercise of the Warrant, the Common Stock, without being furnished any
prospectus setting forth all of the information that would be required to be
furnished under the Securities Act, and understands further that the offering is
being made only to "accredited investors" (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation
D under the Securities Act).

1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, the
undersigned hereby irrevocably subscribes for that number of Warrants to
purchase the shares of Common Stock set forth in Appendix A. The consideration
for the Warrant shall be the execution of the Subscription Agreement by and
between the Company and the undersigned dated of even date herewith (the
"Subscription Agreement") and the payment of the consideration for the Note as
set forth in Section 1 of the Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that
the execution, delivery and performance of the Subscription Agreement in full by
Purchaser shall be a condition precedent of the obligations of the Company
hereunder.

2. Acceptance of Warrant Subscription and Issuance of Shares. It is understood
and agreed that the Company has the right to accept or reject this subscription,
in whole or in part, and that this subscription is accepted by the Company only
when it is signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company and delivered to
the undersigned at the Closing referred to in Section 3.

3. The Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Common Stock (the
"Closing") shall take place at the offices of the Company or such other mutually
acceptable place on or before

                                       1
<PAGE>

May 10, 1999 or at such time and place as the Company and the undersigned shall
mutually agree upon. The Company may, at its option, elect to close the
transaction contemplated hereby in one or more Closings.

4. Exercise of Warrant and Payment for Shares. The Warrant is exercisable
commencing on the date hereof and shall expire on the date which is five (5)
years from the date hereof. Upon exercise of the Warrant, the undersigned shall
make payment in the amount of $1.75 per share for the Common Stock as set forth
on Appendix A hereof, to the Company via certified check, personal check, or
wire transfer to the account designated by the Company or via cashless exercise
pursuant to Section 5(b)(ix) hereof.

5. Representations of the Company. As of the date of the Closing (the "Closing
Date"), the Company represents as follows:

      (a) Valid Issuance. Upon issuance of the Warrant and upon exercise of the
Warrant and issuance of the Common Stock in accordance with this Warrant
Agreement, the Common Stock will represent validly authorized, duly issued and
fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company, and the issuance thereof
will not conflict with the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company
nor with any outstanding warrant, option, call, preemptive right or commitment
of any type relating to the Company's capital stock.

      (b) Other Representations and Agreements.

            (i) Use of Proceeds. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company
agrees that it, or a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, shall use not less
than twenty percent (20%) of the proceeds received from this subscription for
the Information Technology (as that term is understood by the undersigned and
the Company) requirements of the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. The remainder of the proceeds received from this subscription upon
exercise of this Warrant shall only be used by the Company or any wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company for directly related operating expenses of the Company
or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, but in no event shall the
proceeds from this subscription be used for present or future compensation,
whether regular or special, of any officer or director of the Company.

            (ii) Sale of Additional Investor Shares. From and after the date
hereof, in the event that the Company sells any common stock or warrants to
purchase common stock at a price per share or an exercise price per share for
warrants that is less than $1.75, then the Company shall immediately adjust the
purchase price and/or the number of shares which are the subject of this Warrant
Subscription Agreement such that the price per share and/or the number of shares
hereunder is or are equal to the difference between (1) the number of shares
which would have been subscribed to at the lesser price per share of such
subsequently sold securities and (2) the number of the shares subscribed to
herein.

                                       2
<PAGE>

            (iii) Cashless Exercise. At any time following the date hereof, the
warrant holder, whether the undersigned or otherwise, in lieu of any cash
payment required under the Warrants, shall have the rights to exercise the
Warrants in whole or in part by surrendering the Warrants in exchange for the
number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to (x) the number of shares
as to which the Warrants are being exercised multiplied by (y) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Market Price (as defined below) of the common stock
less the exercise price of the Warrants being exercised, and the denominator of
which is such Market Price. The term "Market Price" means the average of the
closing sale price per share of the common stock on the principal stock exchange
or market on which the common stock is then quoted or traded on each of the ten
(10) consecutive trading days preceding the date on which written notice of
election to exercise the Warrants has been given to the Company (a "cashless
exercise"). If the warrant holder opts for a cashless exercise of the warrants,
no other consideration shall be paid to the Company, other than surrendering the
warrant itself, nor will there be paid any commission or other remuneration to
any other person or entity by the warrant holder. In the event that the warrant
holder is not permitted to "tack" the holding period of the warrants to the
holding period of the common stock received upon the cashless exercise for
purposes of satisfaction of the holding period requirements of Rules
144(d)(3)(ii) and 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for
whatever reason and there is no presently filed registration statement effective
as to the shares received or to be received through the cashless exercise of
this Warrant, the Company shall, upon receipt of the written request of the
warrant holder, promptly prepare and file a registration statement with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to all of the shares underlying
this Warrant.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Undersigned. The undersigned hereby
represents and warrants to the Company and to each officer, director, and agent
of the Company that:

            (a) Authority. The undersigned has all requisite authority to enter
      into this Agreement and to perform all the obligations required to be
      performed by the undersigned hereunder.

            (b) Access to Information. The undersigned is familiar with the
      business and financial condition, properties, operations and prospects of
      the Company. The undersigned has been furnished copies of the Financial
      Statements and all other documents requested by it and has had an
      opportunity to discuss the Company's business and financial condition,
      properties, operations and prospects with the Company's management. The
      undersigned has also had an opportunity to ask questions of officers of
      the Company, which questions were answered to his satisfaction. The
      undersigned understands that such discussions were intended to describe
      certain aspects of the Company's business and financial condition,
      properties, operations and prospects, but were not a thorough or
      exhaustive description.

            (c) Representations and Warranties as of Closing. The undersigned
      understands that, unless it notifies the Company in writing to the
      contrary at or before the Closing, all the undersigned's representations
      and warranties contained in this Agreement will be deemed to

                                       3
<PAGE>

      have been reaffirmed and confirmed as of the Closing, taking into account
      all information received by the undersigned.

            (d) Risk Factors. The undersigned understands that the purchase of
      the Common Stock involves substantial risks.

            (e) Knowledge, Skill and Experience. The undersigned has such
      knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment
      matters so that is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
      investment in Common Stock. To the extent necessary, the undersigned has
      retained, at his own expense, and relied upon, appropriate professional
      advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of
      this Agreement and owning Common Stock.

            (f) Accredited Investor. The undersigned is an "accredited investor"
      as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

            (g) Investment Intent. The undersigned is acquiring the Warrant
      solely for his own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not
      with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the
      common stock of the Company. The undersigned has not offered or sold any
      portion of its shares of Common Stock and has no present intention of
      dividing its shares of Common Stock with others or of reselling his shares
      of Common Stock. The undersigned understands that the Warrant and the
      Common Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
      State Securities Laws by reason of specific exemptions under the
      provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of the
      undersigned and the other representations made by the undersigned in this
      Agreement. The undersigned understands that the Company is relying upon
      the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any
      supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this
      transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions.

            (h) Stock Transfer Restrictions. The undersigned agrees: (A) that it
      will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the
      Warrant or the Common Stock or any interest therein, or make any offer or
      attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of
      the Warrant or the Common Stock under the Securities Act and all
      applicable State Securities Laws or in a transaction which is exempt from
      the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable State
      Securities Laws; and (B) that the Company and any transfer agent for the
      Common Stock shall not be required to give effect to any purported
      transfer of any of the Common Stock except upon compliance with the
      foregoing provisions.

      7. Conditions to Obligations of the Undersigned and the Company. The
obligations of the undersigned to accept this Warrant and of the Company to
grant the Warrant are subject to the satisfaction at or before the Closing of
the following condition precedent:

without just cause by such party to consummate the transactions contemplated

be entitled, in addition to other remedies at law or in equity, to specific
performance of this Agreement by the party that so refused or failed to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. In any action to enforce the
terms of this Agreement, the successful party shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable attorneys' fees, all costs and expenses from the party who refused or
failed to perform this Agreement.

instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom any waiver, change,
discharge or termination is sought.

      11. Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy,
obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason of this Agreement shall
be assignable by the Company without the prior written consent of the
undersigned. The undersigned may assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, mortgage or
otherwise alienate any of the rights afforded to it hereunder and the Company
shall be bound by the terms hereof to such assignee or transferee; provided,
