         Island Pacific, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the

set forth below, to purchase from the Company (as defined herein) from and after

Stock and the applicable Exercise Price per share are subject to adjustment as

         As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise

                  (a) The term "Company" shall include Island Pacific, Inc. and
         any corporation that shall succeed, or assume the obligations of,
         Island Pacific, Inc. hereunder.

                  (b) The term "Common Stock" includes (i) the Company's Common
         Stock, $0.0001 par value per share; and (ii) any other securities into

<PAGE>

                  (d) The term "Other Securities" refers to any stock (other
         than Common Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other
         person (corporate or otherwise) which the Holder at any time shall be
         entitled to receive, or shall have received, on the exercise of the
         Option, in lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or which at any time
         shall be issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or in
         replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities pursuant to Section 4
         or otherwise.

         1. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                  1.1 NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE. From and after
the date hereof, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this
Option in whole or in part, by delivery of an original or fax copy of an
exercise notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise
Notice"), shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment pursuant
to Section 4. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Option in connection with that
number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed the difference between (i)
4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) the number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder. For the purposes of
the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3
thereunder. The limitation described in this Section 1.1 shall automatically
become null and void following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and
during the continuance beyond any applicable grace period of an Event of Default
under and as defined in that certain Security Agreement dated as of the date
hereof among the Holder and the Company, or upon 61 days prior notice to the
Company.

                  1.2 FAIR MARKET VALUE. For purposes hereof, the "Fair Market
Value" of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the "Determination
Date") shall mean:

                  (a) If the Company's Common Stock is traded on the American
         Stock Exchange or another national exchange or is quoted on the
         National or SmallCap Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
         ("Nasdaq"), then the closing or last sale price, respectively, reported
         for the last business day immediately preceding the Determination Date.

                  (b) If the Company's Common Stock is not traded on the
         American Stock Exchange or another national exchange or on the Nasdaq
         but is quoted on the NASD Over The Counter Bulletin Board or the Pink
         Sheets, then the mean of the average of the closing bid and asked
         prices reported for the last ten (10) business days immediately
         preceding the Determination Date.

                  (c) Except as provided in clause (d) below, if the Company's
         Common Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Company
         agree or in the absence of agreement by arbitration in accordance with
         the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association,


                                       2
<PAGE>

         before a single arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons
         qualified by education and training to pass on the matter to be
         decided.

                  (d) If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation,
         dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation,
         dissolution or winding up pursuant to the Company's charter, then all
         amounts to be payable per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant
         to the charter in the event of such liquidation, dissolution or winding
         up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in respect of the
         Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for the
         purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then
         issuable upon exercise of the Option are outstanding at the
         Determination Date.

                  1.3 COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Company will, at the time of
the exercise of the Option, upon the request of the Holder hereof acknowledge in
writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which
such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with
the provisions of the Option. If the Holder shall fail to make any such request,
such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford
to such Holder any such rights.

                  1.4 TRUSTEE FOR OPTION HOLDERS. In the event that a bank or
trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for the Holder of the Option
pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers
and duties of an option agent (as hereinafter described) and shall accept, in
its own name for the account of the Company or such successor person as may be
entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such
successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Option pursuant to this
Section 1.

         2. PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE.

                  2.1 DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES, ETC., ON EXERCISE. The
Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this
Option shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such
shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Option shall have
been surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith. As
soon as practicable after the exercise of this Option in full or in part, and in
any event within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense
(including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be
issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as such Holder (upon
payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in
compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for
the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on
such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would
otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair
Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder
is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.

                  2.2 EXERCISE.


                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (a) Subject to subsection (b) below, payment shall be made in
         cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the
         Company equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise Price for the number
         of Common Shares specified in such Exercise Notice (as such exercise
         number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number
         of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms of this
         Option) and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the
         number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and
         non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined
         as provided herein.

                  (b) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in
         the event there is no effective registration statement with respect to
         the shares issuable upon exercise of this Option or a Default or an
         Event of Default (as such terms are defined in the Security Agreement
         dated as of the date hereof among the Holder and the Company, as
         amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time),)
         has occurred and is continuing, if the Fair Market Value of one share
         of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of
         calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Option for
         cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as
         determined below) of this Option (or the portion thereof being
         exercised) by surrender of this Option at the principal office of the
         Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which
         event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of
         Common Stock computed using the following formula:

         X=Y      multiplied by  (A-B)
                                -------
                                   A

         Where X =         the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
                           the Holder

         Y =               the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
                           under the Option or, if only a portion of the Option
                           is being exercised, the portion of the Option being
                           exercised (at the date of such calculation)

         A =               the Fair Market  Value of one share of the Company's
                           Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

         B =               Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
                           calculation)

         3. EFFECT OF REORGANIZATION, ETC.; ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.

                  3.1 REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case at any
time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b)
consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan
or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such
case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and
adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder, on the


                                       3
<PAGE>

exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of
such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such
dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or
Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such
effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to
which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in
connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so
exercised this Option, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further
adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.

                  3.2 DISSOLUTION. In the event of any dissolution of the
Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or
assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its
Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the Holder
shall so instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the
Holder and having its principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder
(the "Trustee").

                  3.3 CONTINUATION OF TERMS. Upon any reorganization,
consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer)
referred to in this Section 3, this Option shall continue in full force and
effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Option after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall
be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in
the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of
the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Option as provided in Section 4. In the
event this Option does not continue in full force and effect after the
consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3, then the Company's
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the
Holders will be delivered to Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section
3.2.

         4. EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS REGARDING COMMON STOCK. In the event that the
Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or
other distribution on outstanding Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by
the Company, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c)
combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares of the Common Stock (each of the preceding clauses (a) through (c),
inclusive, an "Event"), then, in each such event, the number of shares of Common
Stock that the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in
Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be increased or decreased to a number
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would,
immediately prior to such Event, be issuable upon the exercise of this Option by
a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the number of issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock immediately after such Event, and (b) the denominator is
the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to
such Event.


                                       5
<PAGE>

         5. CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or
readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the
exercise of the Option, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief
Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Option and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this
Option, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as
adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Option. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and any Option agent of the
Company (appointed pursuant to Section 10 hereof).

         6. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC., ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF OPTION. The
Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
delivery on the exercise of the Option, shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Option.

         7. ASSIGNMENT; EXCHANGE OF OPTION. Subject to compliance with
applicable securities laws, this Option, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be
transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor") in whole or in
part. On the surrender for exchange of this Option, with the Transferor's
endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Transferor
Endorsement Form") and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall
include, without limitation, the provision of a legal opinion from the
Transferor's counsel (at the Company's expense) that such transfer is exempt
from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, and with
payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and
deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Option of like tenor,
in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such
Transferor Endorsement Form (each a "Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on
the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on
the face or faces of the Option so surrendered by the Transferor.

         8. REPLACEMENT OF OPTION. On receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Option and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this
Option, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Option, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Option of like tenor.


                                       6
<PAGE>

         9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Holder has been granted certain
registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set forth in a
Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and Holder dated as of
even date of this Option.

         10. OPTION AGENT. The Company may, by written notice to each Holder of
the Option, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other
Securities) on the exercise of this Option pursuant to Section 1, exchanging
this Option pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Option pursuant to Section
8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or
replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.

         11. TRANSFER ON THE COMPANY'S BOOKS. Until this Option is transferred
on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof
as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.

         12. NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications from the Company
to the Holder shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in
writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the Company an
address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder who has so furnished an
address to the Company.

         13. MISCELLANEOUS. THIS OPTION AND ANY TERM HEREOF MAY BE CHANGED,
WAIVED, DISCHARGED OR TERMINATED ONLY BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING SIGNED BY THE
PARTY AGAINST WHICH ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH CHANGE, WAIVER, DISCHARGE OR TERMINATION
IS SOUGHT. THIS OPTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. Any
action brought concerning the transactions contemplated by this Option shall be
brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in
the state of New York; provided, however, that the Holder may choose to waive
this provision and bring an action outside the state of New York. The
individuals executing this Option on behalf of the Company agree to submit to
the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees
and costs. In the event that any provision of this Option is invalid or
unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision
shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such
provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Option. The
headings in this Option are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit
or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision hereof. The Company acknowledges that legal counsel
participated in the preparation of this Option and, therefore, stipulates that
the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the
drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Option to
favor any party against the other party.
