         2.       REGISTRATION.

                  a. MANDATORY REGISTRATION. The Company shall use best efforts
to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated
under the 1933 Act and available for sales of all of the Registrable Securities
at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investor may sell
all of the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k)
promulgated under the 1933 Act (or successor thereto) or (ii) the date on which
(A) the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities and no available
amount remains under the Purchase Agreement (the "REGISTRATION PERIOD"). The
Registration Statement (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. RULE 424 PROSPECTUS. The Company shall, as required by
applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant
to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, the prospectus and prospectus
supplements, if any, to be used in connection with sales of the Registrable
Securities under the Registration Statement. The Investor and its counsel shall
have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior
to its filing with the SEC. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts
to comment upon such prospectus within one (1) Trading Day from the date the
Investor receives the final version of such prospectus.

                  c. SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF SHARES REGISTERED. In the event the
number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to
cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the
Registration Statement or file a new registration statement (a "NEW REGISTRATION
STATEMENT"), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon as
practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Trading Days after the
necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use it best efforts to cause such
amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
practicable following the filing thereof. The Investor and its counsel shall
have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any such amendment
and/or New Registration Statement prior to its filing with the SEC. The Investor
shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon any such amendment and/or
New Registration Statement within two (2) Trading Days from the date the
Investor receives the final version of any such amendment and/or New
Registration Statement.

         3.       RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

         With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable
Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2(b) including on any New
Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall
have the following obligations:

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

                  a. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration
Statement or any New 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 or any New Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed
of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or
sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.

                  b. The Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment
upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto at least two (2) Trading Days prior to their
filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which Investor
reasonably objects to in writing. The Investor shall use its reasonable best
efforts to comment in writing upon the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto within two (2)
Trading Days from the date the Investor receives the final version thereof. The
Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge any correspondence from
the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating
to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.

                  c. The Company shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly
after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such
registration statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and
all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, ten
(10) copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the
Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including
copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably
request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by the Investor.

                  d. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i)
register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a registration
statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions
in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (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 (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself
to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to
service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify
the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or
qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities
or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of
actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose.

                  e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such
event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the
happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits 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
promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to
correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such
supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the
Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the
Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration statement or
any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such
effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by facsimile on the same day of
such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for
amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus or
related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable determination that a
post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate.

                  f. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of
any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or
suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at
the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such
order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the
initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

                  g. The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities
to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class
or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such
Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or
(ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the
Nasdaq SmallCap System. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in
connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.

                  h. The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive
legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any
registration statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations
or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names
as the Investor may request.

                  i. The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and
registrar with respect to its Common Stock.

                  j. If reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall
(i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as the Investor believes should be included therein
relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including,
without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable
Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other
terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required
filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as
notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any
registration statement.

                  k. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
the Registrable Securities covered by the any registration statement to be

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities
as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.

                  l. Within one (1) Trading Day after any registration statement
which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the
Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver,
to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the
Investor) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared
effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.

                  m. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions
necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable
Securities pursuant to any registration statement.

         4.       OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.

                  a. The Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the
information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor in connection with
any registration statement hereunder. The 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. The Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as
reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and
filing of any registration statement hereunder.

                  c. The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from
the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of the kind
described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), the Investor will
immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any
registration statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the
Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly
deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with
the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable
Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for
sale prior to the Investor's receipt of a notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first
sentence of 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

         5.       EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

                  All reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage
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, shall be paid by the Company.

         6.       INDEMNIFICATION.

                  a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will,
and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person,
if any, who controls the Investor, the members, the directors, officers,
partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Investor and each Person, if
any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the

                                      -5-

<PAGE>   6

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 ACT") (each, an
"INDEMNIFIED PERSON"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys' fees, amounts paid in
settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, "CLAIMS") incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry,
proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any
court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the
SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or
may be a party thereto ("INDEMNIFIED DAMAGES"), 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 the Registration
Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in
which Registrable Securities are offered ("BLUE SKY FILING"), or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein 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, (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 the Registration Statement or any New Registration
Statement or (iv) any material violation of this Agreement (the matters in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, "VIOLATIONS"). The
Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are
incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable
expenses 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 by an Indemnified Person 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 such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New 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); (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 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), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in
writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a
violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it;
(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, if such prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(c); 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 Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of
the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

                  b. In connection with the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly
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

                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement,
each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act
or the 1934 Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of
them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar
as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are 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 the Investor expressly for use in connection with
such registration statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the 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) and the agreement with
respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of the 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 or Indemnified Damages as does
not exceed the net proceeds to the 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 Investor pursuant to Section 9.

                  c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving
a Claim, 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
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in
connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information
reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or
proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations
relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. 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.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

                  d. 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 and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages
are incurred.

                  e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in
addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

         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 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 (ii) 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 AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

                  With a view to making available to the Investor 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 Investor 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 and the filing of such reports
and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

                  c. furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions 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.

                                      -8-

         9.       ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

                  The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically
assignable by the Investor 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

Re: [__________]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We are counsel to U.S. Plastic Lumber Corp., a Nevada corporation (the
"COMPANY"), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain
Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT")
entered into by and among the Company and Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (the
"HOLDER") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to the Holder up to
Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.0001
per share (the "COMMON STOCK") (the "PURCHASE SHARES"), in accordance with the
terms of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the Company issued to the Holder
200,000 shares of Common Stock (the "COMMITMENT Shares"). Pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement with the Holder (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT") pursuant to
which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Purchase Shares
and the Commitment Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"). In connection with the Company's obligations under the Purchase
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, on _____________, the Company
filed a Registration Statement (File No. 333-_____________) (the "REGISTRATION
STATEMENT") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to
the sale of the Purchase Shares and the Commitment Shares.

          In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the
SEC's staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order
declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME
OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge,
after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Purchase Shares
and the Commitment Shares are available for sale under the 1933 Act pursuant to
the Registration Statement.

          The Buyer has confirmed it shall comply with all securities laws and
regulations applicable to it including applicable prospectus delivery
requirements upon sale of the Commitment Shares or the Purchase Shares.

                                                     Very truly yours,

                                                     [Company Counsel]
                                                     By:____________________
