This letter is in confirmation of our agreement with you
pertaining to
the private placement, coordinated by Brookshire Securities
Corporation (the
"Placement Agent," "Brookshire" or "you") as placement agent on
a "$2,500,000
minimum/$5,000,000 maximum" basis, of Units (the "Units"), each
Unit consisting
of (i) one share of preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"), and
(ii) a
detachable, transferable four-year warrant (the "Warrant") to
purchase one
thousand (1,000) shares of common stock of a Securities and
Exchange Commission
("SEC") reporting and registered publicly-traded company that
will be quoted on
the OTC Bulletin board ("Pubco") (the "Offering"). The Offering
will close
concurrently with the closing of a reverse merger transaction
(the "Reverse
Merger") involving a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, and

Systems Holding, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("VMS"). The

the Units will
be more fully described in Section 1 below and in the Memorandum

or any other material agreement or instrument to which VMS or
Pubco is a party
or by which VMS or Pubco may be bound or to which any of the
property or
material assets of VMS or Pubco is subject; nor will such action
result in any

or other
government body having jurisdiction over VMS or Pubco.

the business of VMS or as are set forth in the Memorandum or
such encumbrances
which will not have a material adverse effect on VMS's property
or assets. VMS

Each of the tax returns heretofore filed by each of VMS and
Pubco correctly
reflects the amount of VMS's and Pubco's respective tax
liability thereunder.
Each of VMS and Pubco has withheld, collected and paid all other
levies,
assessments, license fees and taxes to the extent required and,
with respect to
payments, to the extent that the same have become due and
payable. Neither VMS
nor Pubco has executed or filed with any taxing authority,
foreign or domestic,
any agreement extending the period for assessment or collection
of any income
taxes nor is either a party to any pending action or proceeding
by any foreign
or domestic governmental agency for assessment or collection of
taxes; and no
claims for assessment or collection of taxes have been asserted
against VMS or
Pubco.
(xxi) Except as set forth in the Memorandum, neither VMS nor
Pubco has (i) issued any securities or incurred any liability or
obligation,
direct or contingent, for borrowed money, or entered into any
transaction other

paid any dividend
or made any other distribution on or in respect to its capital
stock.

Securities
Act, and (B) other than as may be required under applicable
state securities or
Blue Sky laws, no authorization, approval, consent, order,

(xxiii) Each contract or other instrument to which VMS is a
party or by which its properties or business is or may be bound
or affected and
to which reference is made in the Memorandum has been duly and
validly executed
by VMS and assuming that such contracts or other instruments
have been properly
executed by the parties other than VMS is in full force and
effect in all
material respects and to its knowledge is enforceable against
the parties
thereto in accordance with its terms, and none of such contracts
or instruments
has been assigned by VMS and except as described in the
Memorandum, neither VMS
nor, to its knowledge, any other party is in default thereunder
and no event has
occurred which, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice,
or both, would
constitute a default thereunder. None of the material provisions
of such
contracts or instruments violates any existing applicable law,
rule, regulation,
judgment, order or decree of any governmental agency or court
having
jurisdiction over VMS or its assets or business.
(xxiv) Except as set forth in the Memorandum, neither VMS
nor
Pubco has any employee benefit plans (including, without
limitation, profit
sharing and welfare benefit
8
<PAGE>
plans) or deferred compensation arrangements that are subject to
the provisions
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
(xxv) Neither VMS nor Pubco has directly or indirectly, at
any
time, (A) made any contributions to any candidate for political
office, or
failed to disclose fully any such contribution in violation of
law or (B) made
any payment to any state, federal or foreign governmental
officer or official,
or other person charged with similar public or quasi-public
duties, other than
payments or contributions required or allowed by applicable
law.
(xxvi) Assuming the representations and warranties of the
Placement Agent contained herein and of the purchasers contained
in the
Subscription Documents are true and correct, the offer and sale
of the Units by
VMS and Pubco has satisfied and at each Closing Time will have
satisfied all of
the requirements of Regulation D and VMS is not disqualified
from the exemption
under Rule 505 contained in Regulation D by virtue of the
disqualifications
contained in Rule 505(b)(2)(iii), or the exemption under
Regulation D by virtue
of the disqualification contained in Rule 507. The Memorandum
and related
documents conform in all material respects with the requirements
of Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder
and with the
requirements of all other published rules and regulations of the
SEC and state
blue sky securities laws currently in effect relating to
"private offerings."
(xxvii) Other than any payments to the Placement Agent
hereunder, and except as disclosed in the Memorandum, neither
VMS nor Pubco has
incurred any liability for any finder's fee or similar payments
in connection
with the transactions herein contemplated. Neither VMS nor Pubco
has engaged any
other other party to offer for sale securities of VMS or Pubco
after the date
hereof.
(xxviii) To the best of its knowledge, VMS owns or possesses
or
can acquire on reasonable terms adequate and enforceable rights
to use all
trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patent rights, trade
secrets or other
confidential information currently used in the conduct of its
business as
described in the Memorandum (the "Intangibles"). Except as
disclosed in the
Memorandum, to VMS's knowledge, VMS is not infringing upon the
rights of others
with respect to the Intangibles and has not received any notice
of conflict with
the asserted rights of others with respect to the Intangibles
which could,
singly or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect VMS's
business,
financial condition, results of operations or prospects, and VMS
does not know
of any basis therefore. To VMS's knowledge, no other party has
infringed upon
the Intangibles.
(xxix) Concurrently with or prior to the execution hereof,
VMS
has provided the Placement Agent with the results of UCC lien
searches in all
jurisdictions in which VMS has material assets.
(b) The Placement Agent represents and warrants to VMS as
follows:
(i) The Placement Agent is, and at each Closing Time, will
be, a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good

(ii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Placement Agent and is a valid and binding
agreement on its
part. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor
the consummation
of any of the transactions contemplated herein, nor the
compliance by the
Placement Agent with the terms and provisions hereof has
conflicted with or will
conflict with or has resulted in or will result in a breach of,
any of the terms
and provisions of, or has constituted or will constitute a
default under, or has
resulted in or will result in the creation or imposition of any
lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Placement Agent
pursuant to the
terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note, loan or
credit agreement
or any other agreement or instrument to which the Placement
Agent is a party or
by which the Placement Agent may be bound or to which any of its
properties or
assets is subject; nor will such action result in any violation
of the
provisions of the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of
the Placement
Agent or any statute, order, rule or regulation applicable to
the Placement
Agent or of any federal, state or other judicial, administrative
or regulatory
authority or other government body having jurisdiction over the
Placement Agent.
