any liabilities and costs relating to any violation by any Borrower or
guarantor, or their respective predecessors-in-interest, of any environmental,
health or safety requirements of law, the past, present or future operations of
any Borrower or guarantor, or any of their respective predecessors-in-interest,
or, the past, present or future environmental, health or safety condition of any
respective past, present or future property of such persons, the presence of

Matters"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Borrowers shall have no obligation to an
Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters caused by or resulting
from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee, as
determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction
and (b) not to assert any claim against any of the Indemnified Parties on any
theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
arising out of, or in any way in connection with, the loans made hereunder or
the transactions evidenced by the agreements and documents executed and
delivered in connection herewith, and/or any other matters governed by this Term
Loan Note and such other agreements and documents. To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding
sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public
policy, each Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted
to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all
Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. The Lender agrees to notify the
Borrowers of the institution or assertion of any Indemnified Matter, but the
parties hereto hereby agree that the failure to so notify the Borrowers shall
not release any Borrower from its obligations hereunder, except to the extent of
any material increase in the liabilities of such Borrower hereunder directly
resulting from such failure to receive notice from such Indemnitees.

                  Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that it
has discussed this Term Loan Note with its counsel.

                  Each of the Borrowers agrees that it shall be jointly and
severally liable for all of the indebtedness evidenced by this Term Loan Note.
Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in
consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lender
hereunder, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the
Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrowers to
accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them. Each of
the Borrowers jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several
liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the payment and performance
of all of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, it being the intention of the
parties hereto that all of such indebtedness shall be the joint and several
obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among
them. If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any
payment with respect to any of such indebtedness as and when due or to perform
any of the agreements contained herein in accordance with the terms thereof,
then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect
to, or perform, such agreement. The obligations of each Borrower under the
provisions hereof constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower,
enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Term Loan
Note or any other circumstances whatsoever. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint
and several liability, notice of the advance of the principal amount of the loan
made hereunder, notice of occurrence of any Event of Default, or of any demand
for any payment under this Term Loan Note, notice of any action at any time
taken or omitted by the Lender under or in respect of any of the obligations
hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and
other formalities of every kind in connection with this Term Loan Note. Each
Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement
of the time for the payment of any of such obligations, the acceptance of any
partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by
the Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the
performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of
this Term Loan Note, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Lender in
respect of any of such obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or
release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of
such obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part,
of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower
assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of
the Lender, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to
assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with the applicable
laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this
paragraph, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such
Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations hereunder, it being
the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the obligations evidenced
by this Term Loan Note remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower
under this paragraph shall not be discharged except by performance and then only
to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this
paragraph shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up,
reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding
with respect to any Borrower or the Lender. The joint and several liability of
the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding
any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name,
membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or the Lender.
The provisions of this paragraph are made for the benefit of the Lender and its
successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any such person from time to time
against any of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without
requirement on the part of any such person first to marshal any of its claims or
to exercise any of its rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust
any remedies available to it against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to
any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the indebtedness
evidenced hereto or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this paragraph
shall remain in effect until all the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall have
been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or
any part thereof, made in respect of any of such indebtedness, is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the
provisions of this paragraph will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though
such payment had not been made. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein, to the extent the joint obligations of a Borrower shall be
adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without
limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to
fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each Borrower
hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under
applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the
federal Bankruptcy Code). The Borrowers hereby agree, as among themselves, that
if any Borrower shall become an Excess Funding

                                       6
<PAGE>

Borrower (as defined below), each other Borrower shall, on demand of such Excess
Funding Borrower (but subject to the next sentence hereof and to subsection (B)
below), pay to such Excess Funding Borrower an amount equal to such Borrower's
Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without
reference to the properties, assets, liabilities and debts of such Excess
Funding Borrower) of such Excess Payment (as defined below). The payment
obligation of any Borrower to any Excess Funding Borrower under this paragraph
shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in
full of the indebtedness of such Borrower under the other provisions of this
Term Loan Note, and such Excess Funding Borrower shall not exercise any right or
remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all
of such obligations. For purposes hereof, (i) "Excess Funding Borrower" shall
mean, in respect of any obligations arising under the other provisions of this
Term Loan Note (hereafter, the "Joint Obligations"), a Borrower that has paid an
amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Joint Obligations; (ii) "Excess
Payment" shall mean, in respect of any Joint Obligations, the amount paid by an
Excess Funding Borrower in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Joint
Obligations; and (iii) "Pro Rata Share", for the purposes of this paragraph,
shall mean, for any Borrower, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (A) the
amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all of its assets
and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Borrower
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities,
but excluding the obligations of such Borrower hereunder) to (B) the amount by
which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all assets and other

                        COMMON STOCK WARRANT CERTIFICATE

                             AVIATION SALES COMPANY

                       For the Purchase of 129,000 Shares

                    of Common Stock of Aviation Sales Company

                               At $.001 Per Share

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Citicorp USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or its
registered assign(s) (the holder hereof at the applicable time being referred to
herein as the "Holder"), is hereby granted the right to purchase from AVIATION
SALES COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), ONE HUNDRED TWENTY NINE
THOUSAND (129,000) shares (the "Warrant Shares," as adjusted from time to time
in accordance with Section 2 hereof) of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a purchase price of ONE TENTH OF ONE
CENT ($.001) per share (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section
2 hereof, the "Exercise Price"), exercisable in whole or in part at any time and
from time to time, from February 18, 2000 until 5:00 p.m. on December 31, 2005
(the "Exercise Period"), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant
(this "Warrant").

I.       EXERCISE

         1.1 EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in
part, at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by (i)
surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of exercise notice attached
hereto as EXHIBIT A duly executed by the Holder, to the Company at its principal
office, and (ii) making payment to the Company of the aggregate Exercise Price
for the applicable Warrant Shares in cash, by certified check, bank check or
wire

<PAGE>

transfer to an account designated by the Company. Upon any partial exercise of
this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder for the Holder's
surrendered Warrant Certificate a replacement Warrant Certificate identical in
all respects to this Warrant Certificate, except that the number of Warrant
Shares shall be reduced accordingly.

         1.2 ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES. The Warrant Shares purchased shall be
issued as of the close of business on the date on which all actions required to
be taken by the Holder and all payments required to be received by the Company,
pursuant to Section 1.1, shall have been so taken and received. Certificates for
the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered, to the extent possible, in
such denomination or denominations as the Holder shall reasonably request and
shall be registered in the name of the Holder or such other name or names as
shall be designated by the Holder, and shall be delivered to the Holder or such
other person to as soon as practicable after this Warrant is surrendered and the
Exercise Price is received, but in any event within 5 business days thereafter.

         1.3 LEGEND. The certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear
the following legend unless and until the Company shall have received a
no-action letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission, an opinion of
counsel, or other evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the
Securities Act:

                  THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD,
         TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE HOLDER EXCEPT PURSUANT TO
         AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
         1933, AS AMENDED, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF
         ANY COUNTRY AND/OR STATE WITH RESPECT THERETO, OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN
         OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY
         TO THE ISSUER THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

II.      ADJUSTMENTS TO WARRANT.

         The number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable, the
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Put is exercisable on a
particular date, the Exercise Price and the Put Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth below.

         2.1 STOCK DIVIDENDS, SUBDIVISIONS AND COMBINATIONS. If the Company
shall, at any time or from time to time: (a) make (or fix a record date for the
holders of shares of its Common Stock entitled to receive) a dividend payable
in, or other distribution of, additional shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common
Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, then (i) the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the occurrence of any
such event shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Warrant upon exercise on
or after that date shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number of Warrant
Shares that the Holder of this Warrant would

                                       2

<PAGE>

have owned and been entitled to receive as a result of such event had this
Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto, and (ii) the Exercise Price
and the Put Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall each be
adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price and Put Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event and the denominator of
which is the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of
this Warrant immediately thereafter.

         2.2 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER THAN IN COMMON STOCK OR CASH. If
the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, make (or fix a record date
for the holders of shares of its Common Stock entitled to receive) a dividend or
other distribution payable in securities or assets of the Company or in the
securities of any subsidiary of the Company (other than shares of Common Stock
or cash), then lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder of
this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, for the
aggregate Exercise Price in effect prior thereto, in addition to the number of
Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,
the kind and number of securities or assets of the Company or securities of any
subsidiary of the Company that the Holder would have owned and been entitled to
receive had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to that date.

         2.3 CASH DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company shall, at any time
or from time to time, make (or fix a record date for the holders of shares of
its Common Stock entitled to receive) a dividend payable in, or other
distribution of, cash, then the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, for the aggregate Exercise Price in effect prior
thereto, immediately prior to the occurrence of any such event shall be
increased by: (i) the amount of the dividend the Holder of this Warrant would
have received had the Holder exercised its Warrant immediately prior to the
record date or occurrence of such event, divided by (ii) the average price of
the Company's Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") immediately preceding the record date (the "Fair
Value").

         2.4 REORGANIZATIONS, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS OR SALES OF ASSETS. If any
of the following transactions (each, a "Special Transaction") shall become
effective: (a) a capital reorganization, whether by reclassification, exchange,
substitution or otherwise (other than a stock or cash dividend, subdivision,
combination or other distribution provided for elsewhere in this Section 2), (b)
a consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity, or (c) a sale or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; then the Holder
of this Warrant shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon
exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, for the aggregate Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such consummation, such shares of stock, other
securities, cash or other assets as may be issued or payable in and pursuant to
the terms of such Special Transaction to the holders of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such
Special Transaction. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification,
merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring
corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and
punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of
this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations
and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be reasonably
deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of

                                       3
<PAGE>

the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of
any shares of the common stock of such successor or acquiring corporation for
which this Warrant thus becomes exercisable, which modifications shall be as
equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2.4.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4 shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or dispositions of
assets.

         2.5 NOTICE. In the event that:

                  (a) the Company shall fix a record date for the holders of
         shares of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive
         any dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock or other
         securities of the Company; or

                  (b) the Company shall enter into any agreement or adopt any
         plan for a capital reorganization of the Company, the consolidation or
         merger of the Company with or into another entity, or the sale or
         conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to
         another entity; or

                  (c) the Company shall adopt any plan for or otherwise shall
         become subject to any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
         or winding up of the Company; or

                  (d) the Company shall propose to take any other action that
         would require an adjustment pursuant to Sections 2.1 through 2.4,

then, and in each such case, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to the
Holder of this Warrant a notice stating, as the case may be: (i) the date on
which a record is to be fixed for the purpose of such dividend or distribution,
and stating the amount and character of such dividend or distribution, or (ii)
the date on which such reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up or other action is to become effective,
and the time, if any, to be fixed, as to which the holders of record of Common
Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities
or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or other action. Such notice
shall be mailed at least 10 days prior to the date therein specified and this
Warrant may be exercised prior to said date during the Exercise Period, although
the failure to provide or to timely provide such notice shall not affect the
Company's right to conclude such transaction.

         2.6 FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractions of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any
fraction of a share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant, the Company shall, in lieu of such issuance, purchase such fraction for
an amount in cash equal to the current value of such fraction, computed on the
basis of the Fair Value.

         2.7 EFFECT OF ABANDONMENT OF PLAN TO MAKE DISTRIBUTION. If the Company
shall fix a record date for the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution and shall, thereafter and
before the distribution to shareholders thereof, abandon its plan to pay or
deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment

                                       4
<PAGE>

shall be required by reason of the taking of such record date and any such
adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

         2.8 CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of an adjustment in the
number of Warrant Shares and the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which
the Put is exercisable on any particular date, in the Exercise Price or in the
Put Price, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate reflecting such
adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

         2.9 NO OTHER ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRED. In case any event shall occur as to
which Sections 2.1 through 2.4 are not strictly applicable but as to which the
failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and
principles hereof then, in each such case, there shall be made such appropriate
adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and
principles established herein, as shall be necessary to preserve the purchase
rights represented by the Warrant.

         2.10 CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction that, by reason
of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the
par value (if any) per share of the Common Stock unless the Company first
reduces the par value of the Common Stock to be less than the Exercise Price
that would result from such transaction.

         2.11 RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK; REGISTRATION WITH
OR APPROVAL OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY. From and after the date hereof, the
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the
exercise of the Warrant such number of its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock, free from preemptive rights, as will be sufficient to permit the
exercise in full of the Warrant. All shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
the terms hereof, when issued upon exercise of this Warrant with payment
therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be duly and validly issued
and fully paid and nonassessable, not subject to preemptive rights and shall be
free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, deed of trust, lien, charge, encumbrance
or security interest of any kind.

         Before taking any action that would result in an adjustment in the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any governmental authority.

         If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon
exercise of this Warrant require registration or qualification with any
governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be
so issued, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and
at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered.

III.     RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER

         3.1 NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. The Holder shall not, solely by virtue of
this Warrant and prior to the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon due exercise
hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company.

                                       5
<PAGE>

IV.      TRANSFER OR LOSS OF WARRANT.

         4.1 TRANSFER. Subject to compliance with federal and state securities
laws, the Holder may sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any
portion of this Warrant and the holders of the Warrant Shares acquired upon any
exercise hereof may sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any
portion of such Warrant Shares at any time and from time to time. Upon the sale,
assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of this Warrant,
the Holder shall deliver to the Company a written notice of such in the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT B duly executed by Holder which includes the identity
and address of any purchaser, assignor or transferee.

         4.2 LOSS. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably
satisfactory indemnification or bond, and upon surrender and cancellation of
this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant
of like tenor and date.

V.       REPURCHASE BY THE COMPANY OF WARRANT OR WARRANT SHARES.

         5.1. OBLIGATION TO REPURCHASE WARRANT OR WARRANT SHARES. The Holder of
this Warrant and the holders of Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this
Warrant shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase this Warrant
or such Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms of this Section 5 hereof
(such rights are sometimes referred to herein as a "Put"). Subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.3, the Company shall, upon
written notice from the Holder or the holders of Warrant Shares (the "Repurchase
Notice"), repurchase, on the date and in the manner set forth in Sections 5.2
and 5.3 below, from such holder:

                  (i) all or the portion of this Warrant designated in such
         notice for an amount determined by multiplying (A) the number of
         Warrant Shares then purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant (or the
         portion thereof designated by the Holder to be repurchased in such
         notice) by (B) the difference between $8.50 (the "Put Price" as
         adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 2 hereof) and the
         per share Exercise Price; and/or

                  (ii) the number of Warrant Shares held by such holder and
         designated in such notice at the Put Price.

         Nothing herein shall preclude the exercise by the Holder of any portion
of this Warrant exercisable at any time prior to any repurchase hereunder.

         5.2. PAYMENT OF REPURCHASE PRICE. The Put Price for any repurchase of
this Warrant or Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 5 shall be payable in
cash within one (1) day following the date of receipt by the Company of the
Repurchase Notice. On the date of any repurchase of any portion of this Warrant
pursuant to this Section 5, the Holder shall assign to the Company this Warrant
or portion thereof being repurchased, as the case may be, without any
representation or warranty (except as to title and the absence of liens), by the
surrender of this Warrant to the Company against payment of the Repurchase Price
therefor. On the date of any

                                       6
<PAGE>

repurchase pursuant to this Section 5 of any Warrant Shares issued upon the
exercise hereof, the holder thereof shall transfer to the Company the Warrant
Shares being repurchased, without representation or warranty (except as to title
and the absence of liens), by the surrender of a certificate or certificates
representing such shares duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by a
duly-executed stock power against payment of the Put Price therefor. Payment of
the Put Price shall be made by wire transfer to an account in a bank located in
the United States designated by the Holder or such holder of Warrant Shares for
such purpose. If less than all of this Warrant is being repurchased, the Company
shall cancel such Warrant and issue in the name of, and deliver to, the Holder
hereof a new Warrant for the portion not being repurchased, and if less than all
the Warrant Shares represented by any certificate are being repurchased, the
Company shall issue a new certificate to the holder representing the shares not
being repurchased.

         5.3. CONDITIONS TO PUT. Neither the Holder nor the holders of Warrant
Shares may exercise the Put prior to July 31, 2000. The Put may be exercised by
the Holder or the holders of Warrant Shares (i) with respect to a portion of
this Warrant representing the right to purchase up to 40,000 Warrant Shares or
such number of Warrant Shares, on or after July 31, 2000 and prior to February
17, 2001 (the "Maturity Date"), if and only if the indebtedness under the Term
Loan Note of even date herewith payable to Citicorp USA, Inc. by certain
subsidiaries of the Company (the "Term Loan") is not paid in full on July 31,
2000, (ii) with respect to a portion of this Warrant representing the right to
purchase up to 84,000 Warrant Shares LESS that portion of this Warrant and/or
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Holder has exercised the Put
pursuant to clause (i) above or such number of Warrant Shares, on or after
September 30 and prior to the Maturity Date, 2000, if and only if the
indebtedness under the Term Note is not paid in full on September 30, 2000 and
(iii) with respect to a portion of this Warrant representing the right to
purchase up to 129,000 Warrant Shares LESS that portion of this Warrant and/or
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Holder has exercised the Put
pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above or such number of Warrant Shares, on or
after December 31, 2000 and prior to the Maturity Date, if and only if the
indebtedness under the Term Note is not paid in full on December 31, 2000. The
portion of this Warrant and the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which
the Put is exercisable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be adjusted from
time to time in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

VI.      REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         6.1 REGISTRATION. The Company shall, as expeditiously as is possible,
but in any event no later than April 30, 2000, file a Registration Statement
under the Securities Act registering all of the Warrant Shares to the extent
required to permit the disposition of the Warrant Shares so registered, and
shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective as soon as possible thereafter. The Company shall cause the
Registration Statement registering the Warrant Shares to remain effective until
at least March 1, 2001.

         6.2 INCIDENTAL REGISTRATION. If the Company at any time proposes to
file on its behalf and/or on behalf of any of its security holders (the
"demanding security holders") a Registration Statement under the Securities Act
on any form (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any
successor form for securities to be offered in a transaction of the type
referred to in Rule 145 under the Securities Act or to employees of the Company
pursuant to any employee benefit plan, respectively) for the general
registration of securities to be sold for cash

                                       7
<PAGE>

with respect to the Common Stock or any other class of equity security (as
defined in Section 3(a)(11) of the Exchange Act) of the Company, it will give
written notice to the Holder and the holders of Warrant Shares at least 15 days
before the initial filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") of such Registration Statement, which notice shall set forth the
intended method of disposition of the securities proposed to be registered by
the Company. The notice shall offer to include in such filing the aggregate
number of Warrant Shares, and the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable, as the holders of such Warrant Shares and/or the
Holder may request.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, no piggyback registration rights shall
be available if a shelf registration statement with respect to the Warrant
Shares is then in effect.

         The Holder and the holders of Warrant Shares shall advise the Company
in writing within 15 days after the date of receipt of such offer from the
Company, setting forth the amount of Warrant Shares for which registration is
requested. The Company shall thereupon include in such filing the number of
Warrant Shares for which registration is so requested, subject to the next
sentence, and shall use its best efforts to effect registration under the
Securities Act of such shares. If the managing underwriter of a proposed public
offering shall advise the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the
distribution of the Warrant Shares requested to be included in the registration
concurrently with the securities being registered by the Company or such
demanding security holder would materially and adversely affect the distribution
of such securities by the Company or such demanding security holder, then all
selling security holders (including any demanding security holder who initially
requested such registration), shall reduce the amount of securities each
intended to distribute through such offering on a pro rata basis. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 6.4, all expenses of such registration shall be
borne by the Company.

         6.3 REGISTRATION PROCEDURE. If the Company is required by the
provisions of this Section 6 to effect the registration of any of its securities
under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

                  (a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration
         Statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to
         cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective for a
         period of time required for the disposition of such securities by the
         holders thereof, but, except as set forth in Section 6.1, not to exceed
         180 days;

                  (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
         supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in
         connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration
         Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities
         Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities
         covered by such Registration Statement until the earlier of such time

         the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as
         such holders may reasonably request;

                  (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the securities
         covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or
         blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States and Puerto
         Rico as the holders of such securities shall request (PROVIDED,
         HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a
         foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any jurisdiction
         in which it is not then qualified or to file any general consent to
         service or process), and do such other reasonable acts and things as
         may be required of it to enable such holders to consummate the
         disposition in such jurisdiction of the securities covered by such
         Registration Statement;

                  (e) furnish, at the request of the holders of such securities,
         on the date that the Warrant Shares are delivered to the underwriters
         for sale pursuant to such registration or, if such Warrant Shares are
         not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the Registration
         Statement with respect to such Warrant Shares becomes effective, (1) an
         opinion, dated such date, of the independent counsel representing the
         Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the
         underwriters, if any, and if the Warrant Shares are not being sold
         through underwriters, then to such holders, in customary form and
         covering matters of the type customarily covered in such legal
         opinions; and (2) a comfort letter dated such date, from the
         independent certified public accountants of the Company, addressed to
         the underwriters, if any, and if the Warrant Shares not being sold
         through underwriters, then to such holders and, if such accountants
         refuse to deliver such letter to such holders, then to the Company in a
         customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by
         such comfort letters as the underwriters or such holders shall
         reasonably request;

                  (f) enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting
         agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are
         reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition
         of such securities; and

                  (g) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
         applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available
         to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not
         later than 18 months after the effective date of the Registration
         Statement, an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12
         months beginning after the effective date of such Registration
         Statement, which earnings statements shall satisfy the provisions of
         Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

         It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to
take any action pursuant to this Section 6 in respect of the securities which
are to be registered at the request of the holders of such securities that such
holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the securities
held by such holders and the intended method of disposition thereof as the
Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the
action taken by the Company.

                                       9

         6.4 EXPENSES. All expenses incurred in complying with Section 6,
including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees (including all
expenses incident to filing with the National Association of Securities
Dealers), printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company,
expenses of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration
and expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky laws of any
jurisdictions pursuant to Section 6.3(d), shall be paid by the Company, except
that the Company shall not be liable for any fees, discounts or commissions to
any underwriter in respect of the Warrant Shares sold by each such holder.

         6.5 INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) In the event of any
registration of any of the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to
this Section 6, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the holders of
Warrant Shares, each such holder's directors and officers, and each other person
(including each underwriter) who participated in the offering of such Warrant
Shares and each other person, if any, who controls each such holder or such
participating person within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the holder or
any such director or officer or participating person or controlling person may
become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any Registration
Statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act,
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and shall reimburse the holder or such director, officer
or participating person or controlling person for any legal or any other
expenses reasonably incurred by the holder or such director, officer or
participating person or controlling person in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any alleged
untrue statement or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement,
preliminary prospectus, prospectus or amendment or supplement in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
holder specifically for use therein. Such indemnity shall remain in full force
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any such
holder of Warrant Shares or such director, officer or participating person or
controlling person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such
holder.

         (b) Each holder of Warrant Shares, by acceptance thereof, agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each
other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or any such person
may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common
law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon information in writing provided
to the Company by such holder specifically for use in the following documents
and contained, on the effective date thereof, in any Registration Statement
under which securities were registered under the Securities Act at the request
of such holder, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or

                                       10
<PAGE>

supplement thereto, but in an amount not to exceed the net proceeds received by
such holder in the offering.

         (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 from the
indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect
of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein,
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party
and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has
been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or
indemnified parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid
or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other
fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any
investigation or proceeding. The liability of any holder of Warrant Shares
hereunder shall not exceed the net proceeds received by it in the offering.

         The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 6.5(c) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

         6.6 TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Warrant, the legend requirements of Section 1.3 shall terminate as to any
particular Warrant Shares when and so long as such security shall have been
effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of pursuant
thereto. Whenever the restrictions imposed by Section 1.3 shall terminate as to
any Warrant Shares, as hereinabove provided, the holder thereof shall be
entitled to receive from the Company, at the Company's expense, a new
certificate representing such Warrant Shares not bearing the restrictive legend
set forth in Section 1.3.

         6.7 LISTING ON SECURITIES EXCHANGE. So long as any shares of Common
Stock shall be listed on a securities exchange, the Company shall, at its
expense, list thereon, maintain and, when necessary, increase such listing of,
all shares of Common Stock issued or, to the extent permissible under the
applicable securities exchange rules, issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant.

         6.8 SELECTION OF MANAGING UNDERWRITERS. The managing underwriter or
underwriters for any offering of Warrant Shares to be registered pursuant to
Section 6.1 shall be selected by the holders of Warrant Shares and shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Company.

VII.     MISCELLANEOUS.

         7.1 NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by certified
or registered mail (first class postage pre-paid), or guaranteed overnight
delivery, to the Company at the address at which its principal business office
is located from time to time, and to the Holder at the address set forth in the
books of the Company.

         7.2 EXPENSES; TAXES. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, issued without violation of any preemptive rights
and free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, deed of trust, lien, charge,
encumbrance or security interest of any kind. The Company shall pay all expenses
in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be
imposed with respect to any such stock issuance or transfer (other than taxes on
the income of any holder of Warrant Shares or any such holder's franchise
taxes), unless such tax or charge is imposed by applicable law upon such holder,
in which case such taxes or charges shall be paid by such holder, and the
Company shall reimburse such holder therefor on an after-tax basis; provided
that such holder shall be required to pay any taxes with respect to any transfer
of such Common Stock to any other person.

         7.3 NO IMPAIRMENT; REGULATORY COMPLIANCE COOPERATION; FURTHER
ASSURANCES. The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its charter documents or through any reorganization, reclassification,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other similar voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the
taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value (if any) of any
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of any
mortgage, pledge, deed of trust, lien, charge, encumbrance or security interest
of any kind, (c) obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
governmental authority as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its
obligations under this Warrant and (d) execute, acknowledge and deliver such
other further agreements, instruments and documents and do such further acts as
may be necessary to preserve and maintain in full force and effect this Warrant
and the rights of the Holder herein and to carry out more effectively the
provisions and purposes of this Warrant.

         7.4 AMENDMENT; WAIVER. This Warrant Certificate may not be modified,
amended, supplemented, canceled or discharged, except by written instrument
executed by the Company and the Holder. No failure to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right, power or privilege under this Warrant Certificate shall
operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder preclude the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. No waiver of any breach of any provision shall be deemed to be a
waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision,
nor shall any waiver be

                                       12
<PAGE>

implied from any course of dealing between the Company and the Holder. No
extension of time for performance of any obligations or other acts hereunder or
under any other agreement shall be deemed to be an extension of the time for
performance of any other obligations or any other acts.

         7.5 HEADINGS. The headings contained in this Warrant Certificate are
for convenience of reference only and are not to be given any legal effect and
shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Warrant Certificate.

         7.6 GOVERNING LAW; INTERPRETATION. This Warrant Certificate shall be
construed in accordance with and governed for all purposes by the laws of the
State of [Florida].

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to
be duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written.
