     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investors
hereby agree as follows:

registration effected by preparing and filing one or more Registration
Statements (as defined below) in compliance with the 1933 Act and pursuant to
Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering
securities on a continuous or delayed basis ("RULE 415"), and the declaration or
ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement(s) by the United States
Securities and Exchange SEC (the "SEC").

<PAGE>

          (c) "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" means the shares of Common Stock issuable
to Investors upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement and the shares issued as a fee under the Standby
Equity Distribution Agreement.

          (d) "REGISTRATION STATEMENT" means a registration statement under the
1933 Act which covers the Registrable Securities.

    2. REGISTRATION.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company
shall prepare and file, no later than thirty (30) days from the date hereof (the
"SCHEDULED FILING DEADLINE"), with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1
or SB-2 (or, if the Company is then eligible, on Form S-3) under the 1933 Act
(the "INITIAL REGISTRATION STATEMENT") for the registration for the resale by
all Investors who purchased Convertible Debentures pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement 43,607,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
conversion of the Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement. The Company shall cause the Registration Statement to remain
effective until all of the Registrable Securities have been sold. Prior to the
filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC, the Company shall furnish a
copy of the Initial Registration Statement to the Investors, and Butler
Gonzalez, LLP for their review and comment. The Investors and Butler Gonzalez
LLP shall furnish comments on the Initial Registration Statement to the Company
within twenty-four (24) hours of the receipt thereof from the Company.

          (b) EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INITIAL REGISTRATION STATEMENT. The Company
shall use its best efforts (i) to have the Initial Registration Statement
declared effective by the SEC no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after
the date hereof (the "SCHEDULED EFFECTIVE DEADLINE") and (ii) to insure that the
Initial Registration Statement and any subsequent Registration Statement remains
in effect until all of the Registrable Securities have been sold, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

          (c) FAILURE TO FILE OR OBTAIN EFFECTIVENESS OF THE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT. In the event the Registration Statement is not filed by the Scheduled
Filing Deadline or is not declared effective by the SEC on or before the
Scheduled Effective Date, or if after the Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to the Registration
Statement (whether because of a failure to keep the Registration Statement
effective, failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be
made pursuant to the Registration Statement, failure to register sufficient
shares of Common Stock or otherwise then as partial relief for the damages to
any holder of Registrable Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction
of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall
not be exclusive of any other remedies at law or in equity), the Company will
pay as liquidated damages (the "LIQUIDATED DAMAGES") to the holder, at the
holder's option, either a cash amount or shares of the Company's Common Stock
within three (3) business days, after demand therefore, equal to two percent
(2%) of the liquidated value of the Convertible Debentures outstanding as
Liquidated Damages for each thirty (30) day period after the Scheduled Filing
Deadline or the Scheduled Effective Date as the case may be.

                                       2
<PAGE>

          (d) LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The Company and the Investor hereto
acknowledge and agree that the sums payable under subsection 2(c) above shall
constitute liquidated damages and not penalties and are in addition to all other
rights of the Investor, including the right to call a default. The parties
further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred
is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified
in such subsections bear a reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly or
grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred in
connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, (iii) one of the reasons for the
Company and the Investor reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the
uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages, and
(iv) the Company and the Investor are sophisticated business parties and have
been represented by sophisticated and able legal counsel and negotiated this
Agreement at arm's length.

    3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

          (a) The Company shall keep the Registration Statement effective
pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the date on which the Investor shall
have sold all the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
(the "REGISTRATION PERIOD"), which 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.

          (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 at all times 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 seller or
sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of
amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be
filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by
reason of the Company's filing a report on Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K
or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 ACT"), the Company shall incorporate such report by reference into
the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or
supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed
which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the
Registration Statement.

                                       3
<PAGE>

(c) The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are
included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) at least one (1)
copy of such Registration Statement as declared effective by the SEC and any
amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all
documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary
prospectus, (ii) ten (10) copies of the final prospectus included in such
Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other
number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other
documents as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.

          (d) The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify
the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any
Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare 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 (w) make any
change to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (x) qualify to do
business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such
jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process 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 threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

          (e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or
development, 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 (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any
material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment
to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and
deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor. The
Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing (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 (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to each
Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or
related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
be appropriate.

                                       4
<PAGE>

          (f) The Company shall use its best 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 within the United States of America 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 each 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) At the reasonable request of any Investor, the Company shall
furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may
reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company's independent
certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by
independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel
representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form,
scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the Investors.

          (h) The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any
Investor and (ii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained by the
Investors (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 agree, and each Investor hereby agrees, to hold in
strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or
use 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 and the Investor 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.

          (i) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure
of information concerning an 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 an Investor is sought in or by a court or
governmental

                                       5
<PAGE>

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.

          (j) The Company shall use its best efforts either to cause all the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement (i) to be listed on
each securities exchange 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 (ii) the
inclusion for quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
OTC Bulletin Board for such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all
fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this
Section 3(j).

          (k) The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold
Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, to
facilitate the timely 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 Investors may reasonably
request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.

          (l) The Company shall use its best 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.

          (m) The Company shall make generally available to its security holders
as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the
period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with the
provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve (12) month period
beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next
following the effective date of the Registration Statement.

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

          (o) Within two (2) business days after a Registration Statement which
covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the
transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors
whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement)
confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
SEC in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.

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

     4.   OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.
          ----------------------------

          Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any 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(e) or receipt of
notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended
certificates for shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in
accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection
with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has
entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor's receipt of a 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) and for which the Investor has not yet
settled.

     5.   EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
          ------------------------

         All expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers, legal and accounting
fees shall be paid by the Company.

     6.  INDEMNIFICATION.
         ---------------

     With respect to Registrable Securities which 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, the directors,
officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if
any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934
Act (each, an "INDEMNIFIED Person"), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable 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 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 Registrable Securities are
offered ("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 not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any 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

                                       7
<PAGE>

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 there under
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"). The Company shall reimburse the Investors
and each such controlling person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are
due and payable, for any legal fees or disbursements 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): (x) shall not apply to
a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing
to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto; (y) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based
on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the
prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made
available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c); and (z) shall not apply to
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 transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors
pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

          (b) In connection with a Registration Statement, each Investor agrees
to severally and not 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, employees, representatives, or agents
and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933
Act or the 1934 Act (each 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 is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to
the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use
in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d),
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 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 transfer of
the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall
not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or
omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected and such new
prospectus was delivered to each Investor prior to such Investor's use of the
prospectus to which the Claim relates.

                                       8
<PAGE>

          (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 of not more than one (1) counsel for such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party,
if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such 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 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 apprised 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 prior written consent; provided, however, that
the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written 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 or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated 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 indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

          (e) 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.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     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 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 (ii) 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.

     8.   REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.
          --------------------------

          With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule
144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC
that may at any time permit the Investors 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 4(c) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other
documents as are required by the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

          (c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable
Securities, 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

     9.   AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
          --------------------------------

          Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof
may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company
and Investors who then hold at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable
Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9
shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be
effective to the extent that it applies to fewer than all of the holders of the
Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person
to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this
Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to
this Agreement.

Attention:

         Re:  MEDICAL STAFFING SOLUTIONS, INC.
              -------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We are counsel to Medical Staffing Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the "COMPANY"), and have represented the Company in connection with that
certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT")
entered into by and among the Company and the investors named therein
(collectively, the "INVESTORS") pursuant to which the Company issued to the
Investors shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "COMMON
STOCK"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the "INVESTOR REGISTRATION
RIGHTS AGREEMENT") pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to
register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 ACT"). In
connection with the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, on ____________ ____, the Company filed a Registration Statement on
Form ________ (File No. 333-_____________) (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") with
the Securities and Exchange SEC (the "SEC") relating to the Registrable
Securities which names each of the Investors as a selling stockholder there
under.

     In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC's
staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF
EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after
telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable
Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the
Registration Statement.

                                  Very truly yours,

                                  KIRKPATRICK & LOCKHART LLP

                                  By:

                        MEDICAL STAFFING SOLUTIONS, INC.
                            PLACEMENT AGENT AGREEMENT

                                                     Dated as of: March 11, 2004

Newbridge Securities Corporation
1451 Cypress Creek Road, Suite 204
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The undersigned, Medical Staffing Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the "COMPANY"), hereby agrees with Newbridge Securities Corporation (the
"PLACEMENT AGENT") and Cornell Capital Partners, LP, 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 Standby Equity Distribution
Agreement dated the date hereof (the "STANDBY EQUITY DISTRIBUTION 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
Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) of the Company's common stock (the
"COMMITMENT AMOUNT"), par value $0.001 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), at price
per share equal to the Purchase Price, as that term is defined in the Standby
Equity Distribution Agreement. The Placement Agent services shall consist of
reviewing the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement and advising
the Company with respect to those terms.

     All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the same meaning ascribed to them as in the Standby Equity Distribution
Agreement. The Investor will be granted certain registration rights with respect
to the Common Stock as more fully set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement
between the Company and the Investor dated the date hereof (the "REGISTRATION
RIGHTS AGREEMENT"). The documents to be executed and delivered in connection
with the Offering, including, but not limited, to the Company's latest Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission, this Agreement, the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement, and the Escrow Agreement dated the date hereof
(the "ESCROW AGREEMENT"), are referred to sometimes hereinafter collectively as
the "OFFERING MATERIALS." The Company's Common Stock purchased by the Investor
hereunder is sometimes referred to hereinafter as the "SECURITIES." The
Placement Agent shall not be obligated to sell any Securities.

<PAGE>

     2.   COMPENSATION.

          A. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to
     the Placement Agent or its designee shares of the Company's Common Stock in
     an amount equal to Ten Thousand (10,000) shares of the Company's Common
     Stock on the date hereof (the "PLACEMENT AGENT'S SHARES"). The Placement
     Agent shall be entitled to "piggy-back" registration rights, which shall be
     triggered upon registration of any shares of Common Stock by the Investor
     with respect to the Placement Agent's Shares pursuant to the Registration
     Rights Agreement dated the date hereof.

     3.   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
          constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument to which the
          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 and
          delivered by the Placement Agent, will constitute the legal, valid and
          binding obligations of the Placement Agent, enforceable in accordance
          with their 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 and affecting the rights of creditors generally, (b)
          the enforceability hereof or thereof is subject to general principles
          of equity, or (c) the indemnification provisions hereof or thereof may
          be held to be in violation of public policy.

               (iii) Upon receipt and execution of this Agreement, the Placement
          Agent will promptly forward copies of this Agreement to the Company or
          its counsel and the Investor or its counsel.

               (iv) The Placement Agent will not intentionally take any action
          that it reasonably believes would cause the Offering to violate the
          provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 ACT"),
          the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 ACT"), the respective
          rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "RULES AND
          REGULATIONS") or applicable "Blue Sky" laws of any state or
          jurisdiction.

               (v) The Placement Agent is a member of the National Association
          of Securities Dealers, Inc., and is a broker-dealer registered as such
          under the 1934 Act and under the securities laws of the states in
          which the Securities will be offered or sold by the Placement Agent
          unless an exemption for such state registration is available to the
          Placement Agent. The Placement Agent is in material compliance with
          the rules and regulations applicable to the Placement Agent generally
          and applicable to the Placement Agent's participation in the Offering.

          4.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

               A. The Company represents and warrants as follows:

                    (i) The execution, delivery and performance of each of this
               Agreement, the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, the Escrow
               Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement has been or will
               be duly and validly authorized by the Company and is, or with
               respect to this Agreement, the Standby Equity Distribution
               Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and the Registration Rights
               Agreement will 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 and affecting the rights
               of creditors generally, (b) the enforceability hereof or thereof
               is subject to general principles of equity or (c) the
               indemnification provisions hereof or thereof may be held to be in
               violation of public policy. The Securities to be issued pursuant
               to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
               Standby Equity Distribution Agreement have been duly authorized
               and, when issued and paid for in accordance with this Agreement,
               the Equity Line of Agreement and the certificates/instruments
               representing such Securities, will be valid and binding
               obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
               respective terms, except to the extent that (1) the
               enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
               reorganization, moratorium or similar laws from time to time in
               effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (2)
               the enforceability thereof is subject to general principles of
               equity. All corporate action required to be taken for the
               authorization, issuance and sale of the Securities has been duly
               and validly taken by the Company.

                    (ii) The Company has a duly authorized, issued and
               outstanding capitalization as set forth herein and in the Standby
               Equity Distribution Agreement. The Company is not a party to or
               bound by any instrument, agreement or other arrangement providing
               for it to issue any capital stock, rights, warrants, options or
               other securities, except for this Agreement, the agreements
               described herein and as described in the Standby Equity
               Distribution Agreement, dated the date hereof and the agreements
               described therein. All issued and outstanding securities of the
               Company, have been duly authorized and validly issued and are
               fully paid and non-assessable; the holders thereof have no rights
               of rescission or preemptive rights with respect thereto and are
               not subject to personal liability solely by reason of being
               security holders; and none of such securities were issued in
               violation of the preemptive rights of any holders of any security
               of the Company. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital
               stock of the Company consists of 300,000,000 shares of Common
               Stock, par value $0.001 per share and 30,000,000 shares of
               Preferred Stock of which 45,200,005 shares of Common Stock and no
               shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding as of the
               date thereof.

          pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
          Paragraph 7(A), any such payment or reimbursement by the Company of
          fees, expenses or disbursements incurred by an indemnified person in
          any proceeding in which a final judgment by a court of competent
          jurisdiction (after all appeals or the expiration of time to appeal)
          is entered against the Placement Agent or such indemnified person
          based upon specific finding of fact that the Placement Agent or such
          indemnified person's gross negligence or willful misfeasance will be
          promptly repaid to the Company.

               B. The Placement Agent hereby agrees that it will indemnify and
          hold the Company and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or
          representative of the Company, 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 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, 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 Company or
          such indemnified person of the Company 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 material breach of any representation,
          warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Placement Agent in this
          Agreement, or (ii) any false or misleading information provided to the
          Company in writing by

                                       9
<PAGE>

          one of the Placement Agent's indemnified persons specifically for
          inclusion in the Offering Materials.

               C. The Investor hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold the
          Placement Agent and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or
          representative of the Placement Agent, and each person controlling,
          controlled by or under common control with the Placement Agent 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, 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 Placement Agent or such indemnified person of
          the Placement Agent 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 Investor or its officers, employees or
          representatives in its acting as the Investor for the Offering, (ii)
          the material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
          agreement made by the Investor in the Offering Materials, or (iii) any
          false or misleading information provided to the Placement Agent by 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, 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 the material breach of any representation,
          warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Placement Agent in this
          Agreement.

               E. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of
          commencement of any action covered by Section 7(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

                                       10
<PAGE>

          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 7(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
          7(A) or 7(B) 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 and the Placement Agent 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 Placement Agent 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 the Placement Agent
          and the Company shall be responsible for the balance; 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 7(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. 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
          7(D), 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

                                       11
<PAGE>

          hereunder or otherwise if the party from whom contribution may be
          sought is not materially prejudiced thereby.

               G. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
          Section 7 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.

               H. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
          law, any right to or claim of any punitive, exemplary, incidental,
          indirect, special, consequential or other damages (including, without
          limitation, loss of profits) against the Placement Agent and each
          officer, director, shareholder, employee or representative of the
          placement agent and each person controlling, controlled by or under
          common control with the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section
          15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act or the Rules and
          Regulations arising out of any cause whatsoever (whether such cause be
          based in contract, negligence, strict liability, other tort or
          otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
          the aggregate liability of the Placement Agent and each officer,
          director, shareholder, employee or representative of the Placement
          Agent and each person controlling, controlled by or under common
          control with the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of
          the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act or the Rules and
          Regulations shall not exceed the compensation received by the
          Placement Agent pursuant to Section 2 hereof. This limitation of
          liability shall apply regardless of the cause of action, whether
          contract, tort (including, without limitation, negligence) or breach
          of statute or any other legal or equitable obligation.

     8.   PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.
