         2.       EXERCISE.

         (a) MANNER OF EXERCISE. During the Exercise Period, this Warrant may be
exercised as to all or any lesser  number of full shares of Common Stock covered
hereby

                                    EXHIBIT D

(the "Warrant  Shares") upon  surrender of this Warrant,  with the Exercise Form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT A (the "Exercise  Form") duly completed and executed,
together  with the full  Exercise  Price (as  defined  below)  for each share of
Common  Stock as to which  this  Warrant  is  exercised,  at the  office  of the
Company,  Attention: Tarek Kirschen,  President,  MerchantOnline,  Inc., 1600 S.
Dixie  Hwy.,  Suite  300,  Boca  Raton,  FL 33432;  Telephone:  (561)  395-3585;
Facsimile:  (561) 395-4241, or at such other office or agency as the Company may
designate in writing,  by overnight  mail,  with an advance copy of the Exercise
Form sent to the Company and its Transfer Agent by facsimile (such surrender and
payment  of  the  Exercise  Price  hereinafter  called  the  "Exercise  of  this
Warrant").

         (b) DATE OF EXERCISE.  The "Date of  Exercise" of the Warrant  shall be
defined as the date that the advance copy of the completed and executed Exercise
Form is sent by facsimile to the Company, provided that the original Warrant and
Exercise  Form are  received by the Company as soon as  practicable  thereafter.
Alternatively,  the Date of Exercise  shall be defined as the date the  original
Exercise Form is received by the Company,  if Holder has not sent advance notice
by facsimile.  The Company shall not be required to deliver the shares of Common
Stock to the Holder until the requirements of Section 2(a) above are satisfied.

         (c)  CANCELLATION  OF WARRANT.  This Warrant shall be canceled upon the
Exercise of this Warrant,  and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise,
Holder  shall be  entitled  to  receive  Common  Stock for the  number of shares
purchased  upon  such  Exercise  of this  Warrant,  and if this  Warrant  is not
exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing
terms identical to this Warrant)  representing  any unexercised  portion of this
Warrant in addition to such Common Stock.

         (d) HOLDER OF RECORD.  Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares
of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of
record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant,  irrespective  of
the date of delivery of the Common  Stock  purchased  upon the  Exercise of this
Warrant.  Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as  conferring  upon Holder
any rights as a stockholder of the Company.

         3.       PAYMENT OF WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE.

         The Exercise Price  ("Exercise  Price"),  shall  initially equal $Y per
share ("Initial Exercise Price"), where "Y" shall equal 110% of the Market Price
for the applicable  Put (as each is defined in the Investment  Agreement) or, if
the Date of Exercise is more than six (6) months after the Date of Issuance, the
lesser of (i) the Initial  Exercise  Price or (ii) the "Lowest  Reset Price," as
that term is defined below.  The Company shall calculate a "Reset Price" on each
six-month anniversary date of the Date of Issuance which shall equal one hundred
and ten percent (110%) of the average  closing bid price of the Common Stock for

                                       2
<PAGE>
the five (5) trading days ending on such six-month  anniversary date of the Date
of  Issuance.  The  "Lowest  Reset  Price"  shall  equal the lowest  Reset Price
determined on any six-month  anniversary date of the Date of Issuance  preceding
the Date of Exercise, taking into account, as appropriate,  any adjustments made
pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

         Payment of the Exercise  Price may be made by either of the  following,
or a combination thereof, at the election of Holder:

         (i)      CASH EXERCISE:  cash, bank or cashiers check or wire transfer;
or

         (ii)     CASHLESS  EXERCISE:  subject  to the  last  sentence  of  this
Section 3,  surrender  of this  Warrant at the  principal  office of the Company
together  with notice of  cashless  election,  in which event the Company  shall
issue Holder a number of shares of Common  Stock  computed  using the  following
formula:

                                  X = Y (A-B)/A

where:   X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

         Y = the  number of shares of Common  Stock for which  this  Warrant  is
being exercised.

                  A = the  Market  Price of one (1) share of Common  Stock  (for
                  purposes of this Section  3(ii),  the "Market  Price" shall be
                  defined as the average  Closing Bid Price of the Common  Stock
                  for the five (5) trading days prior to the Date of Exercise of
                  this Warrant (the "Average Closing Price"), as reported by the
                  O.T.C.  Bulletin  Board,  National  Association  of Securities
                  Dealers  Automated   Quotation  System  ("Nasdaq")  Small  Cap
                  Market,  or if the  Common  Stock is not  traded on the Nasdaq
                  Small  Cap  Market,  the  Average  Closing  Price in any other
                  over-the-counter market; provided, however, that if the Common
                  Stock is listed on a stock exchange, the Market Price shall be
                  the Average  Closing  Price on such  exchange for the five (5)
                  trading days prior to the date of exercise of the Warrants. If
                  the Common Stock is/was not traded during the five (5) trading
                  days prior to the Date of Exercise, then the closing price for
                  the last publicly traded day shall be deemed to be the closing
                  price for any and all (if  applicable)  days  during such five
                  (5) trading day period.

                  B = the Exercise Price.

         For  purposes  hereof,  the term  "Closing  Bid  Price"  shall mean the
closing bid price on the O.T.C.  Bulletin  Board,  the  National  Market  System
("NMS"),  the New York Stock  Exchange,  the Nasdaq  Small Cap Market,  or if no
longer  traded  on the  O.T.C.  Bulletin  Board,  the NMS,  the New  York  Stock
Exchange,  the Nasdaq Small Cap Market,  the "Closing Bid Price" shall equal the
closing   price  on  the   principal   national   securities   exchange  or  the
over-the-counter  system on which the  Common  Stock is so  traded  and,  if not

                                       3
<PAGE>

available,  the  mean of the  high  and low  prices  on the  principal  national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is so traded.

         For  purposes of Rule 144 and  sub-section  (d)(3)(ii)  thereof,  it is
intended,  understood  and  acknowledged  that the Common  Stock  issuable  upon
exercise of this Warrant in a cashless  exercise  transaction shall be deemed to
have  been  acquired  at the time  this  Warrant  was  issued.  Moreover,  it is
intended,  understood  and  acknowledged  that the holding period for the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in a cashless exercise  transaction
shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Warrant
may not be  exercised  in a  cashless  exercise  transaction  if, on the Date of
Exercise,  the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant
would  upon  such  issuance  be  then   registered   pursuant  to  an  effective
registration  statement  filed  pursuant  to that  certain  Registration  Rights
Agreement  dated on or about  January  ____,  2000 by and among the  Company and
certain investors,  or otherwise be registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.

         4.       TRANSFER AND REGISTRATION.

         (a) TRANSFER  RIGHTS.  Subject to the  provisions  of Section 8 of this
Warrant,  this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company,  in whole
or in part, in person or by attorney,  upon  surrender of this Warrant  properly
completed and endorsed.  This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and,
as soon as  practicable  thereafter,  the person to whom such  transfer  is made
shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this
Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to
the portion hereof retained.

         (b) REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. The Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of  this  Warrant  constitutes   "Registrable  Securities"  under  that  certain
Registration  Rights  Agreement  dated on or about January ___, 2000 between the
Company  and  certain  investors  and,  accordingly,  has  the  benefit  of  the
registration rights pursuant to that agreement.

         5.       ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.

         (a) STOCK DIVIDEND. If the Company shall at any time declare a dividend
payable in shares of Common  Stock,  then Holder,  upon Exercise of this Warrant
after the record date for the  determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive such  dividend,  shall be entitled to receive  upon  Exercise of this
Warrant,  in addition  to the number of shares of Common  Stock as to which this
Warrant is  exercised,  such  additional  shares of Common  Stock as such Holder
would have received had this Warrant been  exercised  immediately  prior to such
record date and the Exercise Price will be proportionately adjusted.

         (b) RECAPITALIZATION OR  RECLASSIFICATION.  If the Company shall at any
time effect a recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of
such  character  that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become
exchangeable  for a larger or smaller number of shares,  then upon the effective
date  thereof,  the  number  of shares of Common  Stock  which  Holder  shall be
entitled to  purchase  upon  Exercise  of this  Warrant  shall be  increased  or
decreased,  as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease
in the  number of shares  of  Common  Stock by reason of such  recapitalization,
reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the
case of an increase in the number of shares,  proportionally  decreased  and, in
the case of  decrease  in the number of shares,  proportionally  increased.  The
Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Stock
of any transaction described in this Section 5(b).

         (c)  DISTRIBUTIONS.  If the Company shall at any time distribute for no
consideration  to holders of Common  Stock cash,  evidences of  indebtedness  or
other securities or assets (other than cash dividends or  distributions  payable
out of earned  surplus or net profits for the current or preceding  years) then,
in any such case,  Holder  shall be entitled to receive,  upon  Exercise of this
Warrant, with respect to each share of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise,
the amount of cash or evidences of  indebtedness  or other  securities or assets
which Holder would have been entitled to receive with respect to each such share
of Common Stock as a result of the happening of such event had this Warrant been

                                       5
<PAGE>

exercised immediately prior to the record date or other date fixing shareholders
to be affected by such event (the "Determination  Date") or, in lieu thereof, if
the Board of  Directors  of the Company  should so determine at the time of such
distribution,  a reduced  Exercise Price  determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price on the  Determination  Date by a fraction,  the  numerator of which is the
result  of such  Exercise  Price  reduced  by the  value  of  such  distribution
applicable  to one share of Common  Stock  (such value to be  determined  by the
Board of  Directors of the Company in its  discretion)  and the  denominator  of
which is such Exercise Price.

         (d)  NOTICE  OF  CONSOLIDATION  OR  MERGER.  In the  event of a merger,
consolidation,  exchange of shares, recapitalization,  reorganization,  or other
similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into
the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes
of stock or securities or other assets of the Company or another entity or there
is a sale  of all or  substantially  all  the  Company's  assets  (a  "Corporate
Change"),  then this Warrant shall be  exerciseable  into such class and type of
securities  or other assets as Holder would have  received had Holder  exercised
this Warrant immediately prior to such Corporate Change; provided, however, that
Company  may not affect any  Corporate  Change  unless it first shall have given
thirty (30) days notice to Holder hereof of any Corporate Change.

         (e)  EXERCISE  PRICE  ADJUSTED.  As  used  in this  Warrant,  the  term
"Exercise  Price" shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3
of this Warrant,  until the occurrence of an event stated in subsection (a), (b)
or (c) of this Section 5, and thereafter  shall mean said price as adjusted from
time to time in  accordance  with the  provisions  of said  subsection.  No such
adjustment  under this  Section 5 shall be made  unless  such  adjustment  would
change the Exercise Price at the time by $.01 or more; provided,  however,  that
all  adjustments  not so made  shall be  deferred  and made  when the  aggregate
thereof  would  change  the  Exercise  Price  at the  time by $.01 or  more.  No
adjustment  made  pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net
effect of increasing  the Exercise  Price in relation to the split  adjusted and
distribution  adjusted price of the Common Stock. The number of shares of Common
Stock subject  hereto shall increase  proportionately  with each decrease in the
Exercise Price.

         (f) ADJUSTMENTS:  ADDITIONAL SHARES, SECURITIES OR ASSETS. In the event
that at any time, as a result of an adjustment  made pursuant to this Section 5,
Holder shall,  upon Exercise of this Warrant,  become entitled to receive shares
and/or other  securities  or assets  (other than Common  Stock)  then,  wherever
appropriate,  all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to
refer to and  include  such  shares  and/or  other  securities  or  assets;  and
thereafter the number of such shares and/or other  securities or assets shall be
subject  to  adjustment  from time to time in a manner  and upon terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.

         6.       FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.

                  No fractional shares or scrip  representing  fractional shares
shall be issuable  upon the  Exercise of this  Warrant,  but on Exercise of this
Warrant,  Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If,
on Exercise of this Warrant,  Holder would be entitled to a fractional  share of
Common  Stock or a right to acquire a  fractional  share of Common  Stock,  such

                                       6
<PAGE>

fractional  share shall be disregarded  and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise shall be the next higher number of shares.

         7.       RESERVATION OF SHARES.

                  The  Company  shall at all times  reserve  for  issuance  such
number of authorized  and unissued  shares of Common Stock (or other  securities
substituted  therefor as herein above  provided) as shall be sufficient  for the
Exercise  of this  Warrant  and  payment  of the  Exercise  Price.  The  Company
covenants  and agrees  that upon the  Exercise  of this  Warrant,  all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully
paid,  nonassessable  and not  subject  to  preemptive  rights,  rights of first
refusal or similar rights of any person or entity.

         8.       RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

                  (a) REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION REQUIRED.  This Warrant has been
issued in a transaction exempt from the registration  requirements of the Act by
virtue of Regulation D and exempt from state registration under applicable state
laws.  The  Warrant  and the Common  Stock  issuable  upon the  Exercise of this
Warrant may not be pledged,  transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an
effective   registration   statement  or  an   exemption  to  the   registration
requirements of the Act and applicable state laws.

                  (b)  ASSIGNMENT.  If  Holder  can  provide  the  Company  with
reasonably  satisfactory  evidence that the  conditions  of (a) above  regarding
registration  or  exemption  have been  satisfied,  Holder  may sell,  transfer,
assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder
shall  deliver a written  notice to  Company,  substantially  in the form of the
Assignment  attached  hereto as EXHIBIT B,  indicating  the person or persons to
whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the  respective  number of warrants to be
assigned to each assignee.  The Company shall effect the  assignment  within ten
(10) days, and shall deliver to the  assignee(s)  designated by Holder a Warrant
or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares.

         9.       BENEFITS OF THIS WARRANT.

                  Nothing in this Warrant  shall be construed to confer upon any
person other than the Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this  Warrant and this Warrant  shall be for the sole and  exclusive
benefit of the Company and Holder.

         10.      APPLICABLE LAW.

                  This  Warrant is issued  under and shall for all  purposes  be
governed by and construed in  accordance  with the laws of the state of Florida,
without giving effect to conflict of law provisions thereof.

destruction  or mutilation of this Warrant,  and (in the case of loss,  theft or
destruction)  of indemnity or security  reasonably  satisfactory to the Company,

having his principal  place of business at 3785 Coventry  Lane,  Boca Raton,  FL
33496. (the "Consultant").

                                R E C I T A L S:
                                 - - - - - - - -

         A.       The  Company  is a  public  company  with a  class  of  equity
securities  publicly traded, and desires to retain Consultant to provide certain
financial consulting services.

         B.       Consultant  desires to provide  certain  financial  consulting
services to the Company in accordance  with the terms and  conditions  contained
hereinafter.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the mutual  promises  set forth
herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         1.       CONSULTING  SERVICES.  During  the  term  of  this  Agreement,
Consultant  is hereby  retained by the Company to provide  financial  consulting
services to the Company,  as said services relate to corporate  finance matters,
including,  without limitation,  advice regarding acquisitions,  consolidations,
mergers, joint ventures and financial strategies.  Consultant shall provide such
financial  consulting services as reasonably requested by the Company during the
term of this Agreement, provided that nothing hereunder shall require Consultant
to devote a minimum number of hours per calendar month toward the performance of
services  hereunder.  The level and scope of  services  that may  reasonably  be
requested  hereunder shall be dependent,  in part, on the amount of compensation
to be paid Consultant by the Company  hereunder.  Unless  otherwise agreed to by
Consultant, all services hereunder shall be performed by Consultant, in its sole
discretion, at its principal place of business or other offices. Notwithstanding
anything  contained  herein to the  contrary,  the  services to be  performed by
Consultant  hereunder  may  be  performed  by  any  employee  or  consultant  to
Consultant.

         2.       TERM.  The  term  of this  Agreement  shall  be for  one  year
commencing as of the date first written above and  terminating  one day prior to
the  anniversary  hereof;  provided,  however,  that  this  Agreement  shall  be
renewable for subsequent one year terms,  by mutual  agreement of the parties in
writing,  at least thirty (30) days prior to the  expiration of the then current
term.

         3.       COMPENSATION. In consideration for the performance of services
hereunder,  the Company  hereby  agrees to pay  Consultant  the aggregate sum of
$125,000 in monthly  installments  of $10,416.67  due and payable on the 15th of
each month.. In addition,  The Company hereby grants Consultant  300,000 options
to purchase the Company's  restricted common stock at a price of $1.87 per share
which  represents  the bid  price  for the  Company's  stock as of the  close of
business as of the date of this agreement. The Company hereby agrees to pay on a
pre-approval  basis  all  out-of-pocket   expenses  incurred  by  Consultant  in
connection  with such services to be rendered  hereunder.  Consultant  may, from
time to time,  deem it to be in the best  interests  of the Company to retain an
outside consultant in connection with certain specific  acquisitions or proposed

<PAGE>

transactions.  In such event,  the Company hereby agrees to pay any and all fees
and expenses of such consultant.

         4.       REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMPANY.  The Company hereby represents
and warrants that any and all  information  supplied  hereunder to Consultant in
connection with any and all services to be performed hereunder by Consultant for
and on behalf of the Company shall be true,  complete and correct as of the date
of such  dissemination  and shall not fail to state a material fact necessary to
make any of such  information  not misleading.  The Company hereby  acknowledges
that the  ability of  Consultant  to  adequately  provide  financial  consulting
services hereunder and/or to initiate and/or effectuate  introductions on behalf
of the Company  with  respect to potential  acquisitions  is dependent  upon the
prompt   dissemination  of  accurate,   correct  and  complete   information  to
Consultant.  In addition,  and notwithstanding  anything contained herein to the
contrary, nothing hereunder shall obligate Consultant to make any minimum number
of introductions  hereunder or to initiate any merger or acquisitions  involving
or  relating  to the  Company.  The  Company  further  represents  and  warrants
hereunder that this Agreement and the transactions  contemplated hereunder, have
been duly and validly  authorized by all requisite  corporate  action;  that the
Company has the full right,  power and capacity to execute,  deliver and perform
its obligations hereunder; and that this Agreement,  upon execution and delivery
of the same by the Company,  will represent the valid and binding  obligation of
the Company  enforceable in accordance with its terms. The  representations  and
warranties set forth herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

         5.       INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) The Company  hereby agrees to  indemnify,  defend and hold
harmless Consultant, its officers, directors, principals, employees, affiliates,
and shareholders,  and their successors and assigns from and against any and all
claims, damages, losses, liability,  deficiencies,  actions, suits, proceedings,
costs or legal expenses  (collectively the "Losses") arising out of or resulting
from: (i) any breach of a  representation,  or warranty by the Company contained
in this  Agreement;  or (ii) any activities or services  performed  hereunder by
Consultant,  unless such Losses were the result of the intentional misconduct or
gross  misconduct  of  Consultant;  or  (iii)  any and all  costs  and  expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees) related to the foregoing,
and as more fully described below.

                  (b) If Consultant  receives written notice of the commencement
of any legal action,  suit or proceeding with respect to which the Company is or
may be  obligated  to  provide  indemnification  pursuant  to  Section  7 above,
Consultant shall, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such written notice,
give the Company written notice thereof (a "Claim Notice"). Failure to give such
Claim Notice within such thirty (30) day period shall not constitute a waiver by
Consultant of its right to indemnity hereunder with respect to such action, suit
or  proceeding.  Upon receipt by the Company of a Claim  Notice from  Consultant
with respect to any claim for  indemnification  which is based upon a claim made
by a third party ("Third Party Claim"), Consultant may assume the defense of the
Third Party Claim with  counsel of its own  choosing,  as described  below.  The
Company  shall  cooperate  in the  defense  of the Third  Party  Claim and shall
furnish such records, information and testimony and attend all such conferences,
discovery proceedings, hearings, trial and appeals as may be reasonably required
in  connection  therewith.  Consultant  shall  have the right to employ  its own
counsel in any such action,  but the fees and expenses of such counsel  shall be

                                       2
<PAGE>

at the expense of Consultant unless the Company shall not have promptly employed
counsel to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, in which event such fees
and expenses shall be borne solely by the Company. The Company shall not satisfy
or settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification has been sought and is
available  hereunder,  without the prior written  consent of Consultant.  If the
Company shall fail with reasonable  promptness either to defend such Third Party
Claim or to satisfy or settle the same, Consultant may defend, satisfy or settle
the Third Party Claim at the expense of the Company and the Company shall pay to
Consultant the amount of any such Loss within ten (10) days after written demand
therefor. The indemnification provisions hereunder shall survive the termination
of this Agreement.

         6.       AMENDMENT. No modification,  waiver,  amendment,  discharge or
change  of this  Agreement  shall be valid  unless  the same is  evidenced  by a
written  instrument,  executed  by the party  against  which such  modification,
waiver, amendment, discharge, or change is sought.

         7.       NOTICES.  All notices,  demands or other  communications given
hereunder  shall be in writing  and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
delivered  in person  or  transmitted  by  facsimile  transmission  or the third
calendar day after being mailed by United States  registered or certified  mail,
return receipt requested,  postage prepaid,  to the addresses herein above first
mentioned or to such other  address as any party  hereto shall  designate to the
other for such purpose in the manner hereinafter set forth.

         8.       ENTIRE   AGREEMENT.   This  Agreement   contains  all  of  the
understandings  and agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter
discussed  herein.  All prior  agreements,  whether  written or oral, are merged
herein and shall be of no force or effect.

         9.       SEVERABILITY.  The invalidity,  illegality or unenforceability
of any  provision  or  provisions  of this  Agreement  will not affect any other
provision  of this  Agreement,  which will remain in full force and effect,  nor
will  the  invalidity,  illegality  or  unenforceability  of a  portion  of  any
provision of this Agreement  affect the balance of such provision.  In the event
that  any one or more  of the  provisions  contained  in this  Agreement  or any
portion  thereof  shall  for  any  reason  be  held to be  invalid,  illegal  or
unenforceable  in any respect,  this Agreement shall be reformed,  construed and
enforced as if such invalid,  illegal or unenforceable  provision had never been
contained herein.

         10.      CONSTRUCTION   AND   ENFORCEMENT.   This  Agreement  shall  be
construed  in  accordance  with  the  laws  of the  State  of  Florida,  without
application of the principles of conflicts of laws. If it becomes  necessary for
any party to institute  legal action to enforce the terms and conditions of this
Agreement,  the successful party will be awarded  reasonable  attorneys' fees at
all trial  and  appellate  levels,  expenses  and  costs.  Any  suit,  action or
proceeding  with  respect  to this  Agreement  shall be  brought in the state or
federal courts located in Palm Beach County in the State of Florida. The parties
hereto hereby accept the exclusive  jurisdiction of those courts for the purpose
of any such suit,  action or proceeding.  Venue for any such action, in addition
to any other venue permitted by statute, will be Palm Beach County, Florida. The
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
any objection  that any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue
of any suit,  action or proceeding  arising out of or relating to this Agreement

                                       3
<PAGE>

or any judgment  entered by any court in respect  thereof  brought in Palm Beach
County,  Florida,  and hereby further irrevocably waive any claim that any suit,
action or proceeding brought in Palm Beach County,  Florida, has been brought in
an inconvenient forum.

        11.      BINDING  NATURE.  The terms and  provisions of this  Agreement
shall be  binding  upon and  inure to the  benefit  of the  parties,  and  their
respective successors and assigns.

        12.      COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts,  including facsimile  signatures which shall be deemed as original
signatures.   All  executed   counterparts   shall   constitute  one  Agreement,
notwithstanding  that all signatories are not signatories to the original or the
same counterpart.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
of the date first above written.
