                                LOCKUP AGREEMENT


         Whereas,   International  Test  Systems,   Inc.  ("ITS")  has  filed  a
Registration  Statement with the Securities and Exchange  Commission under which
it  intends  to sell  common  stock,  class A  warrants,  and  class B  warrants
(together the "Securities");

         Whereas,  ITS believes that its ability to sell such securities will be
enhanced if the  individuals  party hereto  agree to refrain from selling  their
current  shareholdings  in ITS  subject  to the terms and  Conditions  set forth
herein;

         Whereas, the individual parties hereto are substantial  shareholders in
ITS and are amenable to having their share  holdings being so restricted as they
believe that a public offering will be beneficial for ITS;

         Now therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable  consideration,  the sufficiency of which is hereby  acknowledged,  the
parties agree as follows:

1.   Prohibitive Transfers. Each of the individual parties hereto, hereby agrees
     that during the period commencing on the date when the Registration
     Statement with respect to the above-noted Securities is declared, or deemed
     to be effective, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and
     associated rules thereunder, and for a period of one year thereafter (such
     one year period being the "Lockup Period"), not to offer pledge, sell,
     assign, transfer, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or
     otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly any Securities, without the
     prior consent of ITS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
     be deemed to prohibit the transfer of any Securities by gift or bequest or
     through inheritance, so long as the donee or beneficiary agrees in writing
     to be bound by the foregoing restriction.

2.   Successors and assigns: The restrictions set forth herein shall be binding
     upon the parties, their successors, assigns, legal representatives,
     distributees, and any other person, whether a natural person or a legal
     entity, who shall be vested with any interest in the Securities. However,
     this Agreement cannot be assigned by any party except by or with the
     written consent of ITS. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or
     shall be construed to confer upon or to give any person, firm or
     corporation other than the parties hereto and their respective legal
     representatives, successors and assigns any rights or benefits under or by
     reason of this Agreement.

3.   Transfer Agent. The Company's transfer agent shall be notified of the
     restrictions imposed by this Agreement and shall place such restrictions in
     its books and records.

4.   Governing law and submission to jurisdiction: By their execution below, the
     parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement shall be governed by the
     internal laws of the State of

                                   Page 1 of 3

     New York, determined without reference to principles of conflicts of laws,
     and that any legal proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be
     subject to the jurisdiction of the federal and/or state courts located in
     the Borough of Manhattan, New York.

5.   Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
     the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
     prior agreements and understandings between them or any of them as to such
     subject matter.

6.   Further Agreements. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute all such
     further instruments and documents and to take all such further actions as
     any other party may reasonably require in order to effectuate the term and
     purposes of this Agreement.

7.   Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement
     may not be amended except by an instrument in writing executed by both of
     the parties.

8.   Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
     Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
     unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
     unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement and
     such invalid illegal and unenforceable provision shall be reformed and
     construed so that it will be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum
     extent permitted by law.

9.   Counterparts and Facsimile Delivery: This Agreement may be executed in one
     or more counterparts with all such counterparts to constitute but one and
     the same agreement, and facsimile transmission of signature pages shall be
     effective as manual delivery thereof.

10.  Minimum Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no shareholder may offer or
     sell shares for less than $0.50 per share at any time.
