Stafford, Texas  77477

Dear Mr. Parsons:

     This  Financial  Advisory  Agreement (the  "Agreement")  shall serve to set
forth the terms upon which First  Financial  Equity  Corporation  ("FFEC" or the
"Financial Advisor") will render advisory services to EBIZ Enterprises, Inc. and
Jones Business  Systems,  Inc.  (collectively,  the "Company").  On the basis of
discussions  held between  FFEC and the  Company's  respective  representatives,
subject to the terms and conditions of Paragraph 9 hereafter, FFEC agrees to act
as  the   Company's   Financial   Advisor  to  assist  the  Company  in  raising
debtor-in-possession  financing (the "DIP Financing") on a "best efforts" basis,
pursuant to the following terms and conditions:

     1. TERMS OF THE DIP FINANCING.

          A. FFEC shall act as the Company's  Financial  Advisor relating to the
proposed DIP  Financing of the Company.  Specifically,  the Company  proposes to
raise approximately $1,100,000.00 of DIP Financing through the issuance of a new
class of debt to a group of financially sophisticated persons who understand the
risks  involved  in this type of  financing  transaction  and can afford to lose
their entire investment or institutions (the "Lender Group").  The parties agree
that the DIP Financing  shall have a minimum raise of $300,000.00  (the "Minimum
Raise").  Until FFEC has successfully raised $300,000.00,  all funds received by
FFEC  relating  to the DIP  Financing  shall be held by FFEC in  escrow  for the
Company  and the  individual  members  of the  Lender  Group  and  shall  not be
disbursed to the Company.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Chapter 11
Plan of Reorganization, which the Company expects to file in its pending Chapter
11  Bankruptcy  Case (the  "Plan"),  may provide each member of the Lender Group
with the right or option to  exchange  or  convert  that debt into  equity.  The
ultimate  terms of the DIP Financing will be determined by the Company and FFEC.

FFEC, as the  Company's  Financial  Advisor,  will market the DIP Financing on a
best efforts basis;

          B. The DIP  Financing  will be  structured to comply with Sections 364
and 1145 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code and all applicable  securities laws. It is
the  intent  of  the  parties  that  the  exemptions  from  certain   securities
regulations provided by 11 U.S.C ss.ss.364(f) & 1145(a), 15 U.S.C.  ss.77(c) and
any other  available  securities law  exemptions  shall be applicable to the DIP
Financing.  The DIP  Financing  will be sold through  disclosure  documents  (an
"Offering Circular") that comply with applicable securities and bankruptcy laws.
The Financial  Advisor will solicit a limited number of prospects to participate
in the Lender Group who are financially  sophisticated  and understand the risks
involved in this type of financing transaction; and

          C. FFEC and the  Company  expect  that FFEC shall act as the agent for
the Lender Group and, therefore,  shall have continuing duties to the individual
members of the Lender  Group with  respect to the  property  that shall serve as
collateral for the DIP Financing and the  debtor-creditor  relationship  between
the Company and the Lender Group.  The further terms and conditions  between the
Company,  the Lender Group and FFEC, as the agent for the Lender Group, shall be
set  forth in a Pledge  and  Security  Agreement  and  Appointment  of Agent For
Holders,  separate  Promissory  Notes and a UCC-1 Financing  Statement (the "DIP
Financing  Agreements").  The DIP  Financing  Agreements  shall  be  subject  to
Bankruptcy Court approval.

     2. TERMS.  Subject to Paragraph 3, the term of this Agreement shall be from
the date of execution of this Agreement  through the earlier of  confirmation of
the  Plan or six  months  from  the  date of the  Company's  acceptance  of this
Agreement (the "Term"). The Term may be extended by mutual written agreement.

     3.  TERMINATION.  This  Agreement  may be  terminated  by either party upon
written  notice.  In  the  event  of  termination,  FFEC  will  be  entitled  to
compensation (including any amounts deferred) payable to FFEC pursuant hereto as
of the date of termination.

     4.  COMPENSATION TO FFEC.  Subject only to Bankruptcy Court approval of the
amount of fees that  shall be earned  and which may become due and owing to FFEC
hereunder,  and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement,  for assisting

in the DIP Financing  and serving as the agent for the Lender Group,  FFEC shall
receive cash fees and warrants,  upon the  Effective  Date of the Plan - as that
term is defined in the Plan, with respect to the aggregate  amount of funds from
persons  introduced  by FFEC to the DIP  Financing  and  actually  loaned by the
Lender Group to the Company (the "Loan Amount"), as follows:

          A. Cash fees equal to eight percent (8.0%) of the Loan Amount;

          B. An additional  banking fee equal to two percent  (2.0%) of the Loan
Amount;

          C. Warrants to purchase such number of shares of the Company's  common
stock that shall equal ten percent (10.0%) of the aggregate  number of shares of
common  stock  actually  issued to or to be issued  to the  Lender  Group on the
Effective Date of the Plan (the "DIP Warrants"); and,

          D. The  Financial  Advisor  shall not be entitled to any  compensation
from the  Company  unless the amount of the Minimum  Raise is  actually  met and
loaned to the Company.

     The DIP Warrants will be exercisable  at a price of $0.65 per Warrant.  The
terms of the DIP Warrants shall be set forth in a Warrant Agreement, in form and
substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Financial  Advisor and the Company,
which shall contain, without limitation, anti-dilution provisions and piggy-back
registration  rights.  All Warrants issued to FFEC pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement  shall be exercisable for a period of three (3) years from the date of
the closing of the DIP Financing.

     5. EXPENSES.  The Company shall be responsible  for the  preparation of the
Offering Circular,  including legal fees, accounting,  and printing expenses, as
well as filing and registration  fees,  marketing expenses and background checks
of  senior  management.  The  Company  will  reimburse  the  Financial  Advisor,
following  notice and  approval  by the  Bankruptcy  Court,  for its  reasonable
out-of-pocket  expenses;  provided,  however,  that FFEC  obtain  prior  written
permission  for any  expense in excess of  $1,000.00  or  aggregate  expenses in
excess of  $2,500.00.  FFEC will not charge  for local  telephone  calls,  local
automobile  expenses,  or business meals, unless a representative of the Company
is present. The Company will pay for courier and/or postage costs related to the
mailing of materials to  prospective  investors  or lenders,  and for  telephone
conference calls.
