          WHEREAS, contemporaneous with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Merger Agreement, First Info entered into a certain License
Agreement dated as of even date herewith (the "License Agreement"), whereby VSUS

          WHEREAS, Shareholder desires to acquire from VSUS the right and option
to purchase certain of the shares of First Info held by VSUS (the "First Info
Shares"), and VSUS desires to grant to Shareholder such option;

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

          1. Grant of Option. From and after the date hereof (the "Closing
Date") and during the Option Term (as herein defined), VSUS does hereby give and
grant to Shareholder the exclusive right, privilege and option (but not the
duty) to purchase that number of First Info Shares as determined in Section 2
hereof ("Option Shares") from VSUS. Upon exercising this Option, Shareholder
must purchase all, but not less than all,



of the Option Shares.

          Such purchase shall be consummated within 120 days following the date
of the Exercise Notice (as herein defined).

          2. Determination of Number of Option Shares.

          a) The number of Option Shares the Shareholder shall be entitled to
purchase shall be determined by the following formula:

                    X = Y ((A/B))

               A = Fair Market Value of First Info on the date of the Exercise
               Notice (as defined hereinafter).
               B = Fair Market Value of VSUS on the date of the Exercise Notice
               (as defined hereinafter).
               Y = Total number of First Info Shares owned by VSUS.
               X = Number of First Info Shares that the Shareholder is entitled
               to purchase.

          b) Not withstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no
event may the Shareholder purchase a number of First Info Shares in an amount
equal to or greater than ninety-five (95%) percent of the First Info Shares.

          c) For purposes hereof, "Fair Market Value" shall be determined by a
mutually agreeable independent appraiser engaged for such purpose whose
determination shall be binding on the parties hereto.

          3. Exercise Restriction.

          SHAREHOLDER MAY NOT EXERCISE THIS OPTION DURING THE FIRST YEAR
FOLLOWING THE CLOSING DATE UNLESS AN EVENT OCCURS THAT CONSTITUTES REASONABLE
CAUSE (as herein defined).

          For the purposes of this agreement "Reasonable Cause" shall mean (1)
any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of VSUS whether voluntary or
involuntary, under applicable law or in the event of its insolvency; (2) failure
of VSUS to maintain a publicly traded market for its securities on the OTC
Bulletin Board or other automated exchange; or (3) any other event, change or
condition that causes a material adverse effect on the financial condition,
properties, assets (including intangible assets), liabilities, business,
operations or results of operations of VSUS; provided, however, that Reasonable
Cause shall not include (i) any adverse effect on VSUS' business that primarily
results from any action taken by First Info; and (ii) any adverse effect that
results from changes in the general economic condition or financial markets of
the United States.



          4. Option Price.

          (a) If, upon Reasonable Cause, the Shareholder exercises this option
within one year of the Closing Date, the purchase price for the Option Shares
(the "Option Price") shall be equal to: (i) One Million Forty Thousand Dollars
($1,040,000), minus (ii) ten (10%) percent of all gross receipts received by
Newco pursuant to Article 5 of the License Agreement.

          (b) In the event Shareholder exercises this option after the first
year following the Closing Date but before the second anniversary following the
Closing Date, the Option Price shall be equal to: (i) One Million Three Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($1,300,000), minus (ii) ten (10%) percent of all gross
receipts received by Newco pursuant to Article 5 of the License Agreement.

          (c) In the event Shareholder exercises this option at anytime after
the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Option Price shall be equal to:
(i) One Million Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars ($1,560,000), minus (ii)
ten (10%) percent of all gross receipts received by Newco pursuant to Article 5
of the License Agreement.

          5. Exercise of Option.

          (a) Shareholder shall exercise its Option by giving written notice of
its exercise of the Option to VSUS ("Exercise Notice"), in accordance with the
provisions of Section 12 hereof, at any time during the Option Term (as defined
below) and shall pay the applicable Option Price in accordance with Section 4.

          (b) Upon exercise of this Option and delivery to VSUS of the Option
Price in full for the Option Shares, VSUS shall no longer be deemed to be the
owner of such Option Shares.

          6. Return of Stock. In the event the Shareholder exercises this option
at anytime during the Option Term (as herein defined), in addition to payment of
the Option Price, the Shareholder shall deliver to VSUS, stock certificates
representing all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to the
Shareholder in connection with the Merger and all of the shares of Common Stock
issued to the Shareholder shall be released from escrow and returned to VSUS in
accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

          7. Term. This Agreement shall terminate on April 14, 2008 (the "Option
Term"). If the Option is not exercised prior to the expiration of the Option
Term, the Option shall become null and void and of no further force and effect.
However, the parties acknowledge and agree that if the Exercise Notice is
delivered to VSUS prior to the expiration of the Option Term, then the term of
this Agreement is extended for the time required to effectuate the exercise
right set forth in Section 1.

          8. Title. Upon exercise of this Option, VSUS shall deliver to
