                                    EXHIBIT C

                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

      THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of
February 16, 1999, by and between Toups Technology Licensing, Inc., a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida, U.S.A., with
headquarters located at 7887 Bryan Dairy Road, Suite 105, Largo, Florida 33777
(the "Company"), and the buyer set forth on the execution page hereof (the
"Buyer").

                                    RECITALS

      A. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the
parties of even date herewith (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), the Company
has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Securities
Purchase Agreement, to issue and sell to the Buyer (i) a number of the Company's
Series 1999-A Eight Percent (8%) Convertible Notes Due January 1, 2002 (the
"Notes") and (ii) a number of Warrants (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement). The Notes are convertible in accordance with their respective terms
into common stock of the Company, $.001 par value per share ("Common Stock").
The Warrants are exercisable in accordance with their terms into Common Stock.
The Common Stock into which the Notes are convertible may be referred to herein
as the "Conversion Shares." The Common Stock into which the Warrants are
exercisable may be referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares." In accordance
with the terms of the Notes, shares of Common Stock may be issued in payment of
interest ("Interest Shares").

      B. The Buyer has agreed to purchase and pay for the Notes and the Warrants
as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Upon each such purchase, the
Company will issue and deliver the Notes and the Warrants to the Buyer.

      C. To induce the Buyer to execute and deliver the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the "1933 Act"), and
applicable state securities laws.

                                   AGREEMENTS

      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 by all parties hereto, the Company
and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

      1. DEFINITIONS.

      a. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:

      i. "Investor" or "Investors" means the Buyer and any permitted
transferee(s) or assignee(s) thereof to whom the Buyer assigns this Agreement
and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement in accordance
with Section 9 hereof.

<PAGE>   2

      ii. "Register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a registration
effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or Statements 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 basis ("Rule
415"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such Registration
Statement by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

      iii. "Registrable Securities" means the Conversion Shares and the Interest
Shares (if any) underlying or issued in accordance with or upon conversion of
the Notes, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, and any shares of capital stock
issued or issuable from time to time (with any adjustments) on or in exchange
for or otherwise with respect to either of the foregoing (including without
limitation any shares issued pursuant to Section 2(b) hereinafter).

      iv. "Registration Statement" or "Registration Statements" means a
registration statement or statements of the Company filed under the 1933 Act.

      b. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

      2. REGISTRATION.

      a. Mandatory Registration. (i) The Company shall use its best efforts to
prepare, and, on or before the date that is ten (10) days after the date of the
First Closing, file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration
Statements (as necessary) on Form SB-2 (or, if such form is unavailable for such
a registration, on such other form as is available for such a registration of
all of the Registrable Securities) (any of which may contain a combined
prospectus with other registrations by the Company), covering the resale of all
of the Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement(s), to the extent
allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including
without limitation Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement(s)
also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares (the "Indeterminate
Shares") of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of the Notes to
prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar
transactions.

      (ii) To the extent the Indeterminate Shares for any reason can not be
registered under the Registration Statement(s) required under Section 2(a)(i)
above, then with respect to such Indeterminate Shares, the Company shall use its
best efforts to prepare, and, on or before the date that is fifteen (15) days
after the Indeterminate Shares become issuable, file with the SEC a Registration
Statement or Registration Statements (as necessary) on Form SB-2 (or, if such
form is unavailable for such a registration, on such other form as is available
for such a registration of all of the Indeterminate Shares) (any of which may
contain a combined prospectus with other registrations by the Company), covering
the resale of all of the Indeterminate Shares.

      (iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company
represents and warrants that it has filed with the SEC a registration statement
on Form SB-2, which was filed in final form on October 7, 1998 and was declared
effective by the SEC on October 7, 1998 (the "Effective Registration
Statement"). The Company shall use its best efforts to amend the Effective
Registration Statement to include the Buyer's resale of the Registrable
Securities, such that all of the Registrable Securities will be registered with
the SEC pursuant to the Effective Registration Statement. If the Company is able
to amend the Effective Registration Statement to include Buyer's resale of all
of the Registrable Securities therein, such that all of the Registrable
Securities will be registered for


                                        2
<PAGE>   3

resale by the Buyer with the SEC pursuant thereto, then the Company shall not be
obligated to file another separate Registration Statement pursuant to this
Agreement. The Company also covenants and warrants that it will use its best
efforts to amend the Effective Registration Statement in order to convert the
Effective Registration Statement from an SB-2 registration statement to an S-3
registration statement, on or before March 5,1999. As used in this Agreement,
where applicable, the term "Registration Statement" shall include also the
Effective Registration Statement.

      A copy of the Registration Statement(s) (and each amendment or supplement
thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be
provided to (and subject to the approval of the Buyer, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or denied) the Buyer and its counsel prior to its
filing or other submission.

      b. Liquidated Damages. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain
effectiveness of the Registration Statement as soon as practicable. If (i) the
Registration Statement(s) covering the Registrable Securities required to be
filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof is not declared effective
by the SEC within ninety (90) days after the date of the First Closing (other
than by reason of any act or failure to act in a timely manner by the Investor
or its counsel) (the "Registration Deadline") or if, after the Registration
Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant
to the Registration Statement (by reason of a suspension, a stop order, the
Company's failure to update the Registration Statement, or any other reason
outside the control of the Investor), or (ii) the Common Stock is not listed or
included for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board Market, the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system Small Cap Market
("NASDAQ Small Cap"), or another United States national securities exchange or
market; then in either case (in either case, a "Delay") the Company will make
payments to the Investors, as liquidated damages and in such amounts and at such
times as shall be determined pursuant to this Section 2(b) as relief and as the
sole remedy for the damages to the Investor by reason of any such delay in or
reduction of its ability to sell the Registrable Securities (which remedy shall
be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), an amount to
be determined as follows. The Company shall pay to the Investor an amount equal
to the purchase price for the Notes purchased at the First Closing and, if
applicable, the Second Closing (including, without limitation, any Notes that
have been convened into Conversion Shares then held by such Investors) (the
"Aggregate Share Price") multiplied by one and one-half hundredths (.0 15) times
the sum of (i) the number of months (prorated for partial months) beginning the
day after the Registration Deadline and ending on the date the Registration
Statement is declared effective by the SEC, provided, however, that there shall
be excluded from such period any delays which are reasonably attributable to
changes required by the Investor in the Registration Statement with respect to
information relating to the Investor, including, without limitation, changes to
the plan of distribution, or to the failure of the Investor to conduct its
review of the registration statement pursuant to Section 2(a) above in a
reasonably prompt manner; (ii) the number of months (prorated for partial
months) that sales cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement after
the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC; and (iii) the
number of months (prorated for partial months) that the Common Stock is not
listed or included for quotation on the NASDAQ Small Cap or another United
States national exchange after the Registration Statement has been declared
effective.

      By way of illustration, if the Registration Statement were to become
effective two months after the end of the Registration Deadline, the Company
would pay US$15,000 for the first month,


                                        3
<PAGE>   4

and $15,000 for the second month, based upon an assumed (for purposes of this
illustration) aggregate sale of US$1,000,000 worth of Notes (and thereafter
would continue to pay US$15,000 per month until the Registration Statement
becomes effective).

      Such amounts shall be paid in cash or, at the Investor's option such
amounts may be convertible into Common Stock at the "Conversion Price" for the
Notes, as defined in the Notes. Any shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of such amounts shall be Registrable Securities. If the Investor
desires to convert the amounts due hereunder into Registrable Securities it
shall so notify the Company in writing within two (2) business days of the date
on which such amounts are first payable in cash and such amounts shall be so
convertible (pursuant to the mechanics set forth in the Securities Purchase
Agreement and/or the Notes), beginning on the last day upon which the cash
amount would otherwise be due in accordance with the following sentence.
Payments of cash pursuant hereto shall be made within five (5) days after the
end of each period that gives rise to such obligation, provided that, if any
such period extends for more than thirty (30) days, interim payments shall be
made for the full amount owed up to the date of such interim payment at the end
of each thirty (30) day period.

      Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(b) to the contrary, the Company
shall not be subject to the penalties specified in this Section 2(b) with
respect to a delay in registering the Registrable Securities past the
Registration Deadline, provided that such delay is solely attributable to the
SEC or its examiners.

      c. Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time prior to the expiration of the
Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall file with the SEC
a Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own account or the
account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than
on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities
to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business
or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee
benefit plans) the Company shall send to the Investor written notice of such
determination and, if within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, such
Investor shall so request in writing, the Company, to the extent permitted by
law, shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of the
Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered, except that if,
in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the
Company the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the
number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the Registration
Statement because, in such underwriter(s)' reasonable good faith judgment,
marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate
public distribution, then only such limited portion of the Registrable
Securities with respect to which such Investor has requested inclusion hereunder
will be included in the Registration Statement; provided that no portion of the
equity securities which the Company is offering for its own account shall be
excluded; provided, further that the Company shall be entitled to exclude
Registrable Securities to the extent necessary to avoid breaching obligations
existing prior to the date hereof to other stockholders of the Company.

      Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the
Investors seeking to include Registrable Securities, in proportion to the number
of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Investors; provided,
however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless
the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which
are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in such Registration Statement
or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and
provided, further, however, that, after giving effect to the immediately
preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro
rata


                                        4
<PAGE>   5

with holders of other securities having the right to include such securities in
the Registration Statement other than holders of securities entitled to
inclusion of their securities in such Registration Statement by reason of demand
registration rights or whose registration rights existed prior to the date
hereof. No right of the Investor to registration of Registrable Securities under
this Section 2(c) shall be construed to limit any registration required under
Section 2(a) hereof. If an offering in connection with which an Investor is
entitled to registration under this Section 2(c) is an underwritten offering,
then each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in such
Registration Statement shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and
sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using the same
underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on
the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such
underwritten offering.

      d. Eligibility for Form SB-2. The Company represents and warrants that it
meets the requirements for the use of Form SB-2 for registration of the resale
by the Buyer of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall file all
reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in a timely manner so
as to maintain such eligibility for the use of Form SB-2. In the event that Form
SB-2 is not available for registration of the Registrable Securities, the
Company shall register the securities on another appropriate form. On or before
March 1, 1999, the Company will be eligible to use Form S-3 for registration of
the resale by the Buyer of the Registrable Securities.

      3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS. In connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities, the Company shall have the following obligations:

      a. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration
Statement(s) relating to Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as
possible after such filing, but in no event later than the Registration
Deadline, and keep the Registration Statement(s) effective pursuant to Rule 415
at all times until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable
Securities have been sold (and no further Registrable Securities may be issued
in the future), (ii) the date as of which the Investors may immediately sell all
of the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144
promulgated under the 1933 Act (or successor thereto) or otherwise, or (iii) the
date on which none of the Notes is outstanding (the "Registration Period"),
which Registration Statement(s) (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 the Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement
as may be necessary to keep the 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 the Registration Statement. In the event
the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to
this Agreement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities issued
or issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Company shall amend the
Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form
available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the
Registrable Securities, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event
within fifteen (15) days after the need therefor arises (based on the market
price of the Common Stock and other relevant factors on which the Company
reasonably


                                        5
<PAGE>   6

elects to rely). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment
and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable
following the filing thereof.

      c. The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities
are included in the Registration Statement(s) promptly after the same is
prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the
Company, (i) one copy of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto,
each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement
thereto in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any
portion thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought
confidential treatment) and, in the case of the Registration Statement referred
to in Section 2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the
SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the
staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement; and (ii)
such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and
all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as such Investor
may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned (or to be owned) by such Investor.

      d. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify
the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement(s) under such
other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States
as each Investor who holds (or has the right to hold) Registrable Securities
being offered reasonably requests (but in no event greater than three states in
the Unites States), (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 (a) qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
Section 3(d), (b) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction,
(c) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, (d)
provide any undertakings that cause more than nominal expense or burden to the
Company, or (e) make any change in its charter or bylaws, which in each case the
Board of Directors of the Company determines to be contrary to the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders.

      e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the
Company shall notify each Investor of the happening of any event, of which the
Company has knowledge, 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, and use its best efforts promptly to
prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement to correct such
untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such
supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably
request.

      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,
and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the
earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor who holds Registrable
Securities being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the
managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof.


                                       6
<PAGE>   7

      g. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). For
so long as the Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall
file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and
the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports
under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations hereunder
would permit such termination.

      h. At the request of the Investor, but no more than three (3) times in any
one ninety (90) day period, the Company shall furnish, on the date of
effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on
such dates as the Investor may reasonably request an opinion, dated as of such
requested 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 Company's transfer agent
and/or to the Investors. Such opinion shall be substantially as set forth in
Exhibit I attached hereto.

      i. The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any Investor,
(ii) any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration
Statement, (iii) one firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants or other
agents retained by the Investors, and (iv) one firm of attorneys retained by all
such underwriters (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 to enable each Inspector to exercise its due diligence responsibility,
and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all
information which any Inspector may reasonably request for purposes of such due
diligence; provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in strict
confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of
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, (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. The Company shall not be
required to disclose any confidential information in such Records to any
Inspector until and unless such Inspector shall have entered into
confidentiality agreements (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company) with the Company with respect thereto, substantially in the form of
this Section 3(i). 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.

      j. 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


                                        7
<PAGE>   8

made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of
this 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 body of competent jurisdiction or through other means,
give prompt 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.

      k. The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable
Securities being offered 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, the
Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors
may request. Not later than the date on which any Registration Statement
registering the resale of Registrable Securities is declared effective, the
Company shall deliver (at its expense) to its transfer agent instructions,
accompanied by any required opinion of counsel, that permit sales of unlegended
securities in a timely fashion that complies with then mandated securities
settlement procedures for regular way market transactions.

      l. Upon the First Closing and upon the Second Closing, the Company shall
promptly secure the listing of the Registrable Securities then underlying the
Notes then purchased by the Buyer upon each national securities exchange or
automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then
listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as
any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of shares of
Registrable Securities from time to time issued under the terms of this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company shall at all times
comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other
obligations under the by-laws or rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers and the OTC Bulletin Board Market (and such other national exchange on
which the Common Stock may be listed, as applicable).

      m. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be
a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective
date of the Registration Statement.

      n. The Company shall comply with all applicable laws relating to a
Registration Statement and offering and sale of securities and all applicable
rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith
(including without limitation the 1933 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and all the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC).

      o. 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. OTHER OBLIGATIONS. In connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations:

      a. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the first anticipated filing date
of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the
information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects
to have any of such Investor's Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect
to the Registrable


                                        8
<PAGE>   9

Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the
Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it
and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it
as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable
Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration
as the Company may reasonably request.

      b. Each Investor by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable
Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the
Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration
Statement(s) hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing
of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable
Securities from the Registration Statement.

      c. In the event Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities
being registered determine to engage the services of an underwriter, each
Investor agrees to enter into and perform such Investor's obligations under an
underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without
limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the
managing underwriter of such offering and take such other actions as are
reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities, unless such Investor notifies the Company in writing of
such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable
Securities from the Registration Statement(s).

      d. 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(e) or 3(f),
such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the 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 3(f) and, if so directed by the
Company, such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the
Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction)
all copies in such Investor's possession, of the prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

      e. No Investor may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such Investor (i) agrees to sell such Investor's Registrable Securities
on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Investors
entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, (ii) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and
other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements, and (iii) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all underwriting
discounts and commissions and any expenses incurred by the Company pursuant to
Section 5 below.

      5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. The Company agrees to pay all reasonable
expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in
connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2
and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and
qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company. If Investors who hold a majority of Registrable
Securities undertake to resell the Registrable Securities in an underwritten
public offering, the Company will reasonably cooperate as is customarily
required in an underwritten public offering. The Investors who participate in
such a public offering shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with such
registration, whether incurred by them or the Company, including without
limitation, underwriting discounts and commissions, all registration, listing
and qualification fees, printing charges, and fees and disbursements of
accountants and counsel for the Company.

      6. INDEMNIFICATION In the event any Registrable Securities are included in
a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

      a. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify, hold
harmless and defend each Investor who holds such Registrable Securities, the
directors, officers and each person who controls any Investor within the meaning
of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"), if any, and any underwriter (as defined in the 1933 Act) for the
Investors, and the directors and the officers of, and each person, if any, who
controls, any such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934
Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (joint or several) (collectively, together with actions,
proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self regulatory organization,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, "Claims") 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 the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact therein required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the
effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the 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 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 thereunder 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"). Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(d) with
respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse the
Investors and each such underwriter or controlling person, promptly as such
expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other
expenses reasonably 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): (i) shall
not apply to a Claim 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 any Indemnified Person or underwriter for such Indemnified Person
expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such
prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c)
hereof; (ii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the
benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim
purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the
benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or
omission of the material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was
corrected in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such prospectus
was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof; (iii)
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 or the failure of the Investor to comply with federal or state law
relating to the offering or sale of the Registrable Securities; and (iv) 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


                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

      b. In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is
participating, each such Investor agrees to 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 who signs the Registration
Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, any underwriter and any other stockholder selling
securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or
officers or any person who controls such stockholder or underwriter within the
meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively and together with an
Indemnified Person, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim to which any of
them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar
as such Claim arises 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 or to the
extent such Claim is based upon any violation or alleged violation by the
Investor of the 1933 Act, 1934 Act or any other law; and 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) 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 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 preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any
Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained
in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus,
as then amended or supplemented.

      c. The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities from underwriters,
selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals
participating in any distribution, to the same extent as provided above, with
respect to information such persons so furnished in writing by such persons
expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement.

      d. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), 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 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


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall
pay reasonable fees for only one separate legal counsel for the Investors, and
such legal counsel shall be selected by the Investors holding a majority in
interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to
which the Claim relates; provided, that the Company shall have the right to
approve the selection of counsel and legal fees and expenses of such firm shall
be reasonable. 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. 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 such
expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.

      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 contribution shall be made under circumstances where the
maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards
set forth in Section 6, (ii) 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 (iii) 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 other
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 is required for 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
the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii)
such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to
sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

      9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to have the Company
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be
automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any
portion of Registrable Securities if (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the
transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is


                                       12
<PAGE>   13

furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii)
the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment,
furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or
assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights
are being transferred or assigned, (iii) immediately following such transfer or
assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or
assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws,
(iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated
by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing
with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, (v) such
transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of
the Securities Purchase Agreement, (vi) such transferee shall submit evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the Transferee is an "accredited
investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under
the 1933 Act; and (vii) in the event the assignment occurs subsequent to the
date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement required to be filed
pursuant to Section 2(a), the transferee agrees to pay all reasonable expenses
of amending or supplementing such Registration Statement to reflect such
assignment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no assignment of
the rights represented by this Agreement shall be effective unless in compliance
with any applicable securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

      10. 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 hold a majority of the
Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this
Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.

      11. MISCELLANEOUS.

      a. A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities
whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities. If
the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or
more persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the
Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received
from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

      b. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms of this
Agreement shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, or delivered personally or by courier and shall be effective five

personally or by courier or facsimile, in each case properly addressed to the
party to receive such notice. The addresses for such communications shall be:

      Re:Registration of Certain Securities of Toups Technology Licensing, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We are counsel to Toups Technology Licensing, Inc., a Florida Corporation
(the "Company"), whose stock is listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board
Market utilizing the symbol "TOUP." We understand that The Augustine Fund, L.P.
(the "Holder") has purchased from the Company (a) a number of shares of the
Company's Series 1999-A Eight Percent (8%) Convertible Notes Due January 1, 2002
(the "Notes"), and (b) a number of warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase common
stock of the Company, $.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"). The Notes are
convertible in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Securities
Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined) into Common Stock. The Notes and the
Warrants were purchased pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between the
Company and the Holder dated as of February 16, 1999 (including all Exhibits and
Addenda thereto, the "Securities Purchase Agreement").

      Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the
Holder dated as of February 16, 1999, the Company agreed with the Holder, among
other things, to register the Common Stock into which the Notes (and, as
applicable, Common Stock issued (i) in payment of interest on the Notes and/or
(ii) in payment of certain penalties for late or non-registration of the said
Common Stock) are convertible and into which the Warrants are exercisable
(collectively, the "Registrable Securities") under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "1933 Act"), upon the terms provided in the Registration Rights
Agreement. In connection with the Company's obligations under the Securities
Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is a
reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"1934 Act"), and has filed a registration statement on Form SB-2, No. _________,
on [DATE SB-2 WAS FILED OR AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE REGISTRABLE SECURITIES] (the
"Registration Statement") with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to the Registrable Securities, which names the Holder as a
selling stockholder thereunder.

      [OTHER INTRODUCTORY AND SCOPE OF EXAMINATION LANGUAGE TO BE INSERTED, AS
IS USUAL AND CUSTOMARY FOR SUCH OPINION LETTERS.]

      Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Registrable
Securities have been registered under the 1933 Act and may thus be resold by you
pursuant to the Registration Statement.

                               Very truly yours,


                               [NAME OF LAWYER/FIRM]
