                  INTEGRATED BUSINESS SYSTEMS AND SERVICES INC.
                            PLACEMENT AGENT AGREEMENT

                          DATED AS OF: JANUARY 30, 2004

         The undersigned, Integrated Business Systems and Services, Inc., a
corporation (the "COMPANY"), hereby agrees with US Euro Securities, Inc. (the
"PLACEMENTAGENT") and Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P., a Delaware Limited
Partnership (the "INVESTOR") as follows:

     1.   OFFERING. The Company hereby engages the Placement Agent to act as its
          exclusive placement agent in connection with the Investment Agreement
          dated January 21, 2004 (the "INVESTMENT AGREEMENT") pursuant to which
          the Company shall issue and sell to the Investor, from time to time,
          and the Investor shall purchase from the Company (the "OFFERING") up
          to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of the Company's Class A Voting
          Common Stock (the "COMMITMENT AMOUNT"), par value $0.01 per share (the
          "COMMON STOCK"), at price per share equal to the Purchase Price, as
          that term is defined in the Investment Agreement. Pursuant to the
          terms hereof, the Placement Agent shall render consulting services to
          the Company with respect to the Investment Agreement and shall be
          available for consultation in connection with the advances to be
          requested by the Company pursuant to the Investment Agreement. All
          capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
          have the same meaning ascribed to them as in the Investment Agreement.
          The Investor will be granted certain registration rights with respect
          to the Common Stock as more fully set forth in a Registration Rights
          Agreement between the Company and the Investor dated January 21, 2004
          (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"). The documents to be executed
          and delivered in connection with the Offering, including, but not
          limited, to this Agreement, the Investment Agreement, and the
          Registration Rights Agreement, and any Prospectus or other disclosure
          document ( including all amendments and supplements ) utilized in
          connection with the Offering are referred to sometimes hereinafter
          collectively as the "OFFERING MATERIALS." The Company's Common Stock
          is sometimes referred to hereinafter as the "SECURITIES." The
          Placement Agent shall not be obligated to sell any Securities and this
          Offering by the Placement Agent shall be solely on a "best efforts
          basis."

     2.   REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PLACEMENT AGENT.

          A.   The Placement Agent represents, warrants and covenants as
               follows:

          (i) The Placement Agent has the necessary power to enter into this
          Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

          (ii) The execution and delivery by the Placement Agent of this
          Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein
          will not result in any violation of, or be in conflict with, or

          Placement Agent is a party or by which the Placement Agent or its
          properties are bound, or any judgment, decree, order or, to the
          Placement Agent's knowledge, any statute, rule or regulation
          applicable to the Placement Agent. This Agreement when executed

          Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 ACT"), the respective rules and

          unless an exemption for such state registration is available to the
          Placement Agent. The Placement Agent is in compliance with all
          material rules and regulations applicable to the Placement Agent
          generally and applicable to the Placement Agent's participation in the
          Offering.

               and warranties it makes to the Investor in the Investment
               Agreement and, in addition, represents and warrants as follows:

          (i) The execution, delivery and performance of each of this Agreement,
          the Investment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has
          been or will be duly and validly authorized by the Company and is, and
          with respect to this Agreement, the Investment Agreement and the
          Registration Rights Agreement will each be, a valid and binding
          agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its
          respective terms, except to the extent that (a) the enforceability
          hereof or thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
          reorganization, moratorium or similar laws from time to time in effect

          Act, the Rules and Regulations, or any other federal or state law or
          regulation, common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon (i)
          the conduct of the Investor or its officers, employees or
          representatives in its acting as the Investor for the Offering or (ii)
          the material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
          agreement made by the Investor in the Offering Materials (iii) any
          false or misleading information provided to the Placement Agent by the
          Investor or one of the Investor's indemnified persons.

     D.   The Placement Agent hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold the
          Investor and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or
          representative of the Investor, and each person controlling,
          controlled by or under common control with the Investor within the
          meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act or
          the Rules and Regulations, harmless from and against any and all loss,
          claim, damage, liability, cost or expense whatsoever (including, but
          not limited to, any and all reasonable legal fees and other expenses
          and disbursements incurred in connection with investigating, preparing
          to defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding, including any
          inquiry or investigation,

                                       6
<PAGE>

          commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever or in appearing or
          preparing for appearance as a witness in any action, suit or
          proceeding, including any inquiry, investigation or pretrial
          proceeding such as a deposition) to which the Investor or such
          indemnified person of the Investor may become subject under the 1933
          Act, the 1934 Act, the Rules and Regulations, or any other federal or
          state law or regulation, common law or otherwise, arising out of or
          based upon (i) the conduct of the Placement Agent or its officers,
          employees or representatives in willful violation of any of such laws
          and regulations while acting as the Placement Agent for the Offering
          or (ii) the material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
          or agreement made by the Placement Agent in this Agreement (iii) any
          false or misleading information provided to the Investor by one of the
          Placement Agent's indemnified persons.

     E.   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of
          commencement of any action covered by Section 6(A), (B), (C) or (D),
          the party to be indemnified shall, within five (5) business days,
          notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; the
          omission by one (1) indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying
          party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligation to
          indemnify any other indemnified party that has given such notice and
          shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability outside of
          this indemnification if not materially prejudiced thereby. In the
          event that any action is brought against the indemnified party, the
          indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the
          extent it may desire, to assume and control the defense thereof with
          counsel chosen by it which is reasonably acceptable to the indemnified
          party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
          party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the
          indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under
          such Section 6(A), (B), (C), or (D) for any legal or other expenses
          subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
          defense thereof, but the indemnified party may, at its own expense,
          participate in such defense by counsel chosen by it, without, however,
          impairing the indemnifying party's control of the defense. Subject to
          the proviso of this sentence and notwithstanding any other statement
          to the contrary contained herein, the indemnified party or parties
          shall have the right to choose its or their own counsel and control
          the defense of any action, all at the expense of the indemnifying
          party if, (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been
          authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the
          defense of such action at the expense of the indemnifying party, or
          (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably
          satisfactory to such indemnified party to have charge of the defense
          of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement
          of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have
          reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or
          them which are different from or additional to those available to one
          or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying
          parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action
          on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events
          such fees and expenses of one additional counsel shall be borne by the
          indemnifying party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party
          shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but
          substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
          arising out of the same general allegations or circumstance, be liable
          for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of
          attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No settlement
          of any action or proceeding against an indemnified party shall be made
          without the consent of the indemnifying party.

     F.   In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
          circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 6
          is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a
          court to be unavailable on grounds of policy or otherwise, the Company

                                       7
<PAGE>

          and the Placement Agent and the Investor shall contribute to the
          aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or
          other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the
          investigation or defense of same) which the other may incur in such
          proportion so that the Company, the Placement Agent and the Investor
          shall be responsible for such percent of the aggregate of such losses,
          claims, damages and liabilities as shall equal the percentage of the
          gross proceeds paid to each of them.; provided, however, that no
          person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of
          Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from
          any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
          For purposes of this Section 6(F), any person controlling, controlled
          by or under common control with the Placement Agent, or any partner,
          director, officer, employee, representative or any agent of any
          thereof, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Placement
          Agent and each person controlling, controlled by or under common
          control with the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933
          Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each officer of the Company and
          each director of the Company shall have the same rights to
          contribution as the Company and each person controlling, controlled by
          or under common control with the Investor within the meaning of
          Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each
          member of the general partner of the Investor shall have the same
          rights to contribution as the Company. Any party entitled to
          contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of
          any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which
          a claim for contribution may be made against the other party under
          this Section 6(F), notify such party from whom contribution may be
          sought, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the
          party from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation they
          may have hereunder or otherwise if the party from whom contribution
          may be sought is not materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnity and
          contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 shall remain
          operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
          made by or on behalf of any indemnified person or any termination of
          this Agreement.

     7.   FEES. The Company hereby agrees to pay the Placement Agent 1% of the
          gross proceeds from each Put until a maximum of ten thousand dollars
          ($10,000) has been paid.

     8.   PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. The Company hereby agrees to bear all of the
          expenses in connection with the Offering, including, but not limited
          to the following: filing fees, printing and duplicating costs,
          advertisements, postage and mailing expenses with respect to the
          transmission of Offering Materials, registrar and transfer agent fees,
          and expenses, fees of the Company's counsel and accountants, issue and
          transfer taxes, if any. The Company agrees to bear all the reasonable
          expenses of the Placement Agent in performing its services under this
          Agreement including but not limited to the fees and expenses of
          counsel.

     9.   CONDITIONS OF CLOSING. The Closing shall be held at the offices of the
          Investor or its counsel. The obligations of the Placement Agent
          hereunder shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the

     B.   At or prior to the Closing, the Placement Agent shall have been
