thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the "1933 Act"), and
applicable state securities laws, with respect to the shares of Common Stock
issuable pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

         Now therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the

Company and the Investor hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 2. REGISTRATION.

         (a) On or before the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall
have provided a draft of the Registration Statement covering the Registrable
Securities to the Investor. The Company shall, as soon as practicable, but not
later than fifteen calendar days following the Execution Date, file with the SEC
a Registration Statement or Registration Statements (as is necessary) on Form
SB-2 (or, if such form is unavailable for such a registration, on such other
form as is available for such a registration), covering the resale of all of the
Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement(s) shall state that, in
accordance with Rule 416 promulgated under the 1933 Act, such Registration
Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common
Stock as may become issuable upon stock splits, stock dividends or similar

Registration Statement(s) declared effective by the SEC within 90 calendar days
after the Execution Date.

         (c) The Company agrees not to include any other securities in the
Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities without Investor's
prior written consent which Investor may withhold in its sole discretion.
Furthermore, the Company agrees that it will not file any other Registration
Statement for other securities, until thirty calendar days after the
Registration Statement for the Registrable Securities is declared effective by
the SEC.

SECTION 3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

         At such time as the Company is obligated to prepare and file a
Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company will
effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method of disposition thereof and, with respect thereto, the Company
shall have the following obligations:

<PAGE>

         (a) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become
effective within 90 days after the Execution Date and shall keep such
Registration Statement effective until the earlier to occur of (i) the date as
of which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable Securities without
restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the 1933 Act (or successor
thereto); or (ii) the date on which (A) the Investor shall have sold all the
Registrable Securities; and (B) the Investor has no right to acquire any
additional shares of Common Stock under the Investment Agreement (the
"Registration Period"). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or
supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The Company shall use its
best efforts to respond to all SEC comments within seven business days from
receipt of such comments by the Company. The Company shall use its best efforts
to cause the Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to
become effective no later than three business days after notice from the SEC
that the Registration Statement may be declared effective. The Investor agrees
to provide all information which it is required by law to provide to the
Company, including the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities, and the Company's obligations set forth above shall be conditioned
on the receipt of such information.

         (b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration
Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated
under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
effective during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with
the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed
of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investor
thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the event the number of
shares of Common Stock covered by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to
this Agreement is at any time insufficient to cover all of the Registrable
Securities, the Company shall amend such Registration Statement, or file a new
Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or
both, so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities, in each case, as soon as
practicable, but in any event within 30 calendar days after the necessity
therefor arises (based on the then Purchase Price of the Common Stock and other
relevant factors on which the Company reasonably elects to rely), assuming the
Company has sufficient authorized shares at that time, and if it does not,
within 30 calendar days after such shares are authorized. The Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration
Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing
thereof.

         (c) The Company shall make available to the Investor whose Registrable
Securities are included in any Registration Statement and its legal counsel
without charge (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC at
least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto,
including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein
by reference and all exhibits, the prospectus included in such Registration
Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and, with regards to such
Registration Statement(s), any correspondence by or on behalf of the Company to
the SEC or the staff of the SEC and any correspondence from the SEC or the staff
of the SEC to the Company or its representatives; (ii) upon the effectiveness of
any Registration Statement, the Company shall make available copies of the
prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and
supplements thereto; and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any
preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request from
time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities.

         (d) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i)
register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such states in the
United States as any Investor reasonably requests; (ii) prepare

<PAGE>

and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be
necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period;
(iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations
and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and
(iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the
Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), or (y) subject
itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly
notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration
or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the
securities or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its
receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
such purpose.

         (e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the
Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening of any event as a
result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading ("Registration Default") and use all diligent efforts to promptly
prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and take any
other necessary steps to cure the Registration Default, (which, if such
Registration Statement is on Form S-3, may consist of a document to be filed by
the Company with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the
1934 Act (as defined below) and to be incorporated by reference in the
prospectus) to correct such untrue statement or omission, and make available
copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor. The Company shall also
promptly notify each Investor (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment has become effective (the Company will prepare
notification of such effectiveness which shall be delivered to the Investor on
the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), additionally, the
Company will promptly provide to the Investor a copy of the effectiveness order
prepared by the SEC once it is received by the Company; (ii) of any request by
the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related
prospectus or related information, (iii) of the Company's reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
be appropriate, (iv) in the event the Registration Statement is no longer
effective, or (v) if Registration Statement is stale as a result of the
Company's failure to timely file its financials or otherwise. The Company
acknowledges that its failure to cure the Registration Default within ten
business days will cause the Investor to suffer damages in an amount that will
be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that it is appropriate
to include a provision for liquidated damages. The parties acknowledge and agree
that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this section represents the
parties' good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the
form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not
constitute a penalty. It is the intention of the parties that interest payable
under any of the terms of this Agreement shall not exceed the maximum amount
permitted under any applicable law. If a law, which applies to this Agreement
which sets the maximum interest amount, is finally interpreted so that the
interest in connection with this Agreement exceeds the permitted limits, then:
(1) any such interest shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the
interest to the permitted limit; and (2) any sums already collected (if any)
from the Company which exceed the permitted limits will be refunded to the
Company. The Investor may choose to make this refund by reducing the amount that
the Company owes under this Agreement or by making a direct payment to the
Company. If a refund reduces the amount that the Company owes the Investor, the
reduction will be treated as a partial payment. In case any provision of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope
or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather
than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent
possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

<PAGE>

         (f) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent
the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a
Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or
suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at
the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor who holds Registrable
Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding
for such purpose.

         (g) The Company shall permit the Investor and one legal counsel,
designated by the Investor, to review and comment upon a Registration Statement
and all amendments and supplements thereto at least seven business days prior to
their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which such
counsel reasonably objects. The Company may request to shorten the Investor's
review period and the Investor will, if possible, attempt to comply with the
accelerated review period. The Company shall not submit to the SEC a request for
acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or file with the
SEC a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the
prior approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

         (h) At the request of the Investor, the Company shall cause to be
furnished to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, a legal opinion, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Investor's counsel, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company
for purposes of such Registration Statement.

         (i) The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) the Investor
and (ii) one legal counsel and one firm of accountants or other agents retained
by the Investor (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial and
other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
(collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each
Inspector, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply
all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however,
that each Inspector shall hold in strict confidence and shall not make any
disclosure (except to a Investor) or use of any Record or other information
which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which
determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such
Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any
Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the
release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena
or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the
information in such Records has been made generally available to the public
other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which
the Inspector has knowledge. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning
that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body
of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the
Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action
to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records
deemed confidential.

         (j) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of
information concerning a Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure
of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities
laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of
such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other
agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of
such information concerning a Investor is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt
written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor's
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain
a protective order for, such information.

<PAGE>

         (k) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain
designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities covered by any
Registration Statement on the Principal Market. If, despite the Company's best
efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding sentence, it
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all the Registrable
Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be listed on each other
national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, on which
securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if
any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the
rules of such exchange or system. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in
connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(k).

         (l) The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the
prompt preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive
legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a
Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations
or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investor may reasonably request.

         (m) The Company shall provide a transfer agent for all the Registrable
Securities not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement
filed pursuant hereto.

         (n) If requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) as soon as
reasonably practical incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as such Investor reasonably determine should be
included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the
offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make
all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
as soon as reasonably possible after being notified of the matters to be
incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and
(iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably
requested by such Investor.

         (o) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities
as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.

         (p) The Company shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with
any registration hereunder.

         (q) Within one business day after the Registration Statement which
includes Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities, with copies
to the Investor, confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the SEC.

         (r) At or prior to the date of the first Put Notice (as that term is
defined in the Investment Agreement) and at such other times as the Investor may
reasonably request, the Company shall cause to be delivered, letters from the
Company's independent certified public accountants (i) addressed to the Investor
that such accountants are independent public accountants within the meaning of
the 1933 Act and the applicable published rules and regulations thereunder, and
(ii) in customary form and covering such financial and accounting matters as are
customarily covered by letters of independent certified public accountants
delivered to underwriters in connection with public offerings.

         (s) The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to
expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement.

<PAGE>

SECTION 4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.

         (a) At least five calendar days prior to the first anticipated filing
date of a Registration Statement the Company shall notify the Investor in
writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such
Investor elects to have any of such Investor's Registrable Securities included
in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this
Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor
that such Investor shall furnish in writing to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method
of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall reasonably be
required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall
execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may
reasonably request. Each Investor covenants and agrees that, in connection with
any sale of Registrable Securities by it pursuant to a Registration Statement,
it shall comply with the "Plan of Distribution" section of the current
prospectus relating to such Registration Statement.

         (b) The Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable
Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the
Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration
Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of
such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable
Securities from such Registration Statement.

         (c) The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of written notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or
the first sentence of 3(e), such Investor will immediately discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s)
covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies
of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the
first sentence of 3(e).

SECTION 5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

         All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and
other than as set forth in the Investment Agreement, incurred in connection with
registrations including comments, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections
2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and
qualifications fees, printing and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company or for the Investor shall be paid by the Company.

SECTION 6. INDEMNIFICATION.

         In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement:

         (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and
hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor who holds such
Registrable Securities, the directors, officers, partners, employees, counsel,
agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls, any Investor
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "1934 Act") (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs,
attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several
(collectively, "Claims"), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any
action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the
foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other
regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or
not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"),
to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect

<PAGE>

thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the
qualification of the offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of
any jurisdiction in which the Investor has requested in writing that the Company
register or qualify the Shares ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which the
statements therein were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus
(as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in
light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not
misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the
1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state
securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or
sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the
matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively,
"Violations"). Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(c) with
respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse the Investor
and each such controlling person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are
due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising
out of or based upon a Violation which is due to the inclusion in the
Registration Statement of the information furnished to the Company by any
Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (II)
shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on (a) a failure of the
Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by
the Company or (B) the Indemnified Person's use of an incorrect prospectus
despite being promptly advised in advance by the Company in writing not to use
such incorrect prospectus; (iii) any claims based on the manner of sale of the
Registrable Securities by the Investor or of the Investor's failure to register
as a dealer under applicable securities laws; (iv) any omission of the Investor
to notify the Company of any material fact that should be stated in the
Registration Statement or prospectus relating to the Investor or the manner of
sale; and (v) any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified
Person and shall survive the resale of the Registrable Securities by the
Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement.

         (b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Investor
is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and jointly indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set
forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers
who signs the Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and the Company's
agents (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an "Indemnified
Party"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may
become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such
Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in
each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation is due to
the inclusion in the Registration Statement of the written information furnished
to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such
Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with
respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under
this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does
not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of
Registrable Securities

<PAGE>

pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Party and shall survive the resale of the Registrable Securities by
the Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 6(b) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the
benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material
fact contained in the preliminary prospectus were corrected on a timely basis in
the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. This indemnification provision
shall apply separately to each Investor and liability hereunder shall not be
joint and several.

         (c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim,
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof,
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or
the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in
the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party, the representation by counsel of the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one separate legal counsel
for the Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such
counsel shall be selected by the Investor, if the Investor are entitled to
indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if the Company is entitled to
indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any
negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and
shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to
the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or
Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person fully appraised at all times as to the status of the defense or any
settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without
its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not
unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party
shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other
compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a
release from all liability in respect to such Claim. Following indemnification
as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be surrogated to all
rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third
parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification
has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

         (d) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to
(I) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (II) any liabilities the
indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

<PAGE>

SECTION 7. CONTRIBUTION.

         To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:
(i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not
have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in
Section 6; (ii) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of
Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds
received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

SECTION 8. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.

         With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule
144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of
the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:

         (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;

         (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as
the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that
nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 5(c) of the
Investment Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is
required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

         (c) furnish to the Investor, promptly upon request, (i) a written
statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of
Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual
or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed
by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested
to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without
registration.

SECTION 9. NO ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         The rights under this Agreement shall not be assignable.

SECTION 10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         Provisions of this Agreement may be amended only with the written
consent of the Company and Investor. No such amendment shall be effective to the
extent that it applies to less than all of the Investor of the Registrable
Securities.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.

         (b) Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this

shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

         (c) The laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall govern all
issues arising from or related to this Agreement without regard to the
principles of conflict of laws. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of
Boston, County of Suffolk, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought
in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under
this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the
validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction.

agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and

parties had prepared the same.

         (g) This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall
constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, once executed by a party,
may be delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile transmission of a copy
of this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this
Agreement.

         (h) Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed,

agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may
reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes

NEITHER THIS WARRANT, NOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FOR WHICH IT IS
EXERCISABLE, HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND NO
TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THIS WARRANT OR THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE
MAY BE MADE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT

                                  COMMON STOCK
                                 (NO PAR VALUE)

                             Dated October 28, 2003

200,000 Warrants                                         Void After June 1, 2006

         This certifies that, for value received, Integrated Business Systems
and Services, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (hereinafter called the
"Company") hereby grants to ELITE FINANCIAL COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, LLC (the
"Holder"), and its successors, heirs and assigns, the right, upon the due
exercise hereof at any time during the period commencing on the date hereof and
terminating at 5:00 P.M. eastern standard time on the second anniversary of the
calendar day immediately following the date that the Company's registration
statement on Form SB-2 that registers the shares of common stock underlying this
warrant becomes effective (the "Expiration Time"), to purchase Two Hundred
Thousand (200,000) shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"), no
par value (each, a "Warrant Share" and collectively, the "Warrant Shares"). Each
warrant issued hereunder shall be exercisable into one (1) Warrant Share. The
number of Warrant Shares granted hereunder shall be subject to adjustment upon
the occurrence of certain terms and conditions of this Warrant, all as set forth
below.

         1.       Exercise Price and Vesting.

                  The warrants granted hereunder vest in Holder on the dates
below and at the corresponding exercise price per warrant (the "Exercise Price")
as follows:

                  (a)      50,000 warrants, exercisable at $0.30 per share, will
vest on the date hereof;

                  (b)      50,000 warrants, exercisable at $0.35 per share, will
vest on the 91st day after the date hereof;

                  (c)      50,000 warrants, exercisable at $0.40 per share, will
vest on the 181st day after the date hereof; and

                  (d)      50,000 warrants, exercisable at $0.45 per share, will
vest on the 271st day after the date hereof.

         2.       Exercise or Conversion of Warrant.

                  (a)      This Warrant may not be exercised by the Holder
hereof until such time as the warrants granted hereunder vest in the Holder on
the vesting date or dates set forth above in Section 1 hereof. On or after each
such vesting date, the number of warrants vesting in the Holder on such date

Page 1 - Integrated Business Systems and Services, Inc.
         Stock Purchase Warrant

<PAGE>

(including any warrants that may have vested on the prior vesting date or dates
but which are unexercised) may be exercised by the Holder during the period
commencing on each such vesting date and ending at the Expiration Time, in whole
at any time per the terms set forth herein or in part from time to time, but not
as to a fractional share of Common Stock. In case of any partial exercise of
this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor
and date for the balance of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder.

                  (b)      Upon delivery of this Warrant with the notice of
exercise in the form annexed hereto (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly executed,
together with payment of the applicable Exercise Price in cash or by check for
the shares of Common Stock thereby purchased, at the principal executive offices
of the Company, the registered holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
receive, and shall promptly (but in no event more than 20 days after such
delivery) receive, a certificate or certificates in proper form for the shares
of Common Stock so purchased.

         3.       Exchange and Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant and all rights
hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated,
except in accordance with the prior written consent of the Company, provided
that this Warrant may be transferred to an entity wholly owned or otherwise
controlled by the Holder, or to one or more of the parties to whom the Company
on the date hereof has granted common stock purchase warrants included in the
series of warrants of which this Warrant forms a part. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not permit or otherwise give effect to or recognize
any sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation of this Warrant or the
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant except upon receipt by the
Company of evidence satisfactory to the Company (which may include an opinion of
counsel) that such sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation is not in
violation of applicable US federal and state securities laws and applicable
rules and regulations of any Canadian regulatory body having jurisdiction. This
Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the holder, upon
presentation and surrender hereof at the principal executive offices of the
Company, for other warrants of different denominations entitling the holder
thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable hereunder. Except as limited herein, this Warrant and all rights
hereunder are transferable by the holder hereof in person or by duly authorized
attorney on the books of the Company upon surrender of this Warrant at the
principal executive offices of the Company, together with the Assignment form
attached hereto duly executed. Absent any such transfer, the Company may deem
and treat the registered holder of this Warrant at any time as the absolute
owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

         4.       Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares Purchasable
Hereunder. In case the Company shall at any time after the date of this
Agreement (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on the Common Stock in
shares of its Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (iii)
combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of
the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), the
Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder in effect at the
time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted
so that the holder of the Warrant exercised after such time shall be entitled to
receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock which, if such
Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such date, such holder would
have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such
dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be
made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

         5.       Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding an adjustment in the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant pursuant to
Section 2, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant
Shares upon exercise of the Warrant or to distribute certificates which evidence
fractional Warrant Shares. In lieu of fractional Warrant Shares, there shall be
paid to the holder of the Warrant at the time such Warrant is exercised or
converted, as herein provided, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of
the current market value of a share of Common Stock. For purposes of this

Page 2 - Integrated Business Systems and Services, Inc.
         Stock Purchase Warrant

<PAGE>

Section 5, the current market value of a share of Common Stock shall be the
closing price of a share of Common Stock on the principal national or regional
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading,
or if not so listed or admitted, the average of the highest reported bid and the
lowest reported ask prices reported on the Nasdaq National Market, or the
over-the-counter bulletin board quotation system ("OTCBB"), as applicable, for
the trading day immediately prior to the date of such exercise, or if the Common
Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or on Nasdaq or on the OTCBB, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

         6.       Covenants of Issuer. The Company covenants and agrees that all
Common Stock and, if applicable, other securities that may be issued upon the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect
to the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer to a person
other than the holder of this Warrant occurring contemporaneously with such
issue). The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within
which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will
at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock and, if applicable, other securities to provide for the exercise in
full of the rights represented by this Warrant.

         7.       Holder's Rights. No holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed to be a shareholder of the
Company for any purpose.

         8.       Holder's Acceptance. Holder's acceptance of this Warrant and
its exercise of any of its rights hereunder shall evidence that Holder considers
himself/herself/itself to be a sophisticated investor in companies similarly
situated to the Company, and Holder has substantial knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters (including knowledge of finance, securities and
investments, generally, and experience and skill in investments based on actual
participation) such that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the prospective investment in the Company.

         9.       Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation, and performance
of this Warrant shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of South
Carolina. without regards to the principles of the conflict of laws or the
choice of laws.

         10.      Successors and Assigns. This Warrant and the rights evidenced
hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of the Company and the holder hereof.

         11.      Headings. Headings of the paragraphs in this Warrant are for
convenience and reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part
of this Warrant.

         12.      Notices. Any notice, request, approval, consent, demand or
other communication shall be effective upon the first to occur of the following:
(i) upon receipt by the party to whom such notice, request, approval, consent,
demand or other communication is being given; or (ii) three (3) business days
after being duly deposited in the United States mail, registered or certified,
return receipt requested, and addressed to the receiver as follows: If to the
Company, at 1601 Shop Rd., Suite E, Columbia, South Carolina 29201, and if to
the holder of this Warrant, to the holder at the address of the holder
previously provided in writing to the Company. The parties hereto may change
their respective addresses by notice in writing given to the other party to this
Agreement.
