                            Warrant for the Purchase
                            of Shares of Common Stock

August 20, 2002                                       12,424,596 Warrant Shares

                  FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Mayor's Jewelers, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that Henry Birks & Sons Inc., a
Canadian corporation (the "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the provisions of
this Warrant, to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time
during the applicable Exercise Period (as hereinafter defined) the number of
fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Company, par value
$0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), set forth above, subject to adjustment
pursuant to Sections 7 and 8 hereof, at the applicable Exercise Price (as
hereinafter defined).

                  For purposes of this Warrant, "Warrant Shares" means the
12,424,596 shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant, as
of the date hereof, and as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions
of this Warrant. Unless the context requires otherwise all references to Common
Stock and Warrant Shares in this Warrant shall, in the event of an adjustment
pursuant to Section 7 hereof, be deemed to refer also to any securities or
property then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as a result of such
adjustment.

         Section 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant may be exercised, as a
whole or in part, at any time or from time to time during the applicable
Exercise Period or, if such day is a day on which banking institutions in New
York City are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day that
shall not be such a day, by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at
its principal office (or at such other address as the Company may hereafter
notify the Holder in writing) with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly
executed and accompanied by proper payment of the aggregate applicable Exercise

                                       1
<PAGE>

Price in lawful money of the United States of America in the form of a certified
or cashier's check to the order of Mayor's Jewelers, Inc. or by wire transfer of
same day funds, for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form. If this
Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of
this Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the
Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and such Purchase Form,
together with the aggregate applicable Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined)
for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such Purchase Form, at its office,
the Company shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder
and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or
certificates for the Warrant Shares. Such certificate or certificates shall be
deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein
shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of
the date of the surrender of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the
Holder or its designee. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or
similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of
the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exercise Price may be
paid by surrendering a part of the Warrant having an aggregate Spread equal to
the aggregate Exercise Price of the part Warrant being exercised. With respect
to the Warrant, "Spread" means the Current Market Value (as hereinafter defined)
of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such part of the Warrant less
the Exercise Price of such part of the Warrant, in each case as adjusted as
provided herein.

         Section 2. EXERCISE PERIOD AND EXERCISE PRICE. (a) This Warrant shall
be exercisable during the period (the "Exercise Period") beginning the date of
execution of this Warrant Agreement (the "Original Issue Date") and ending at
5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a date twenty (20) years from the execution of
this Warrant Agreement (the "Termination Date").

                  (b) "Exercise Price" means $0.30 per share, subject to
adjustment as herein provided.

         Section 3. AUTHORIZATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby agrees that upon
exercise of this Warrant all shares of its Common Stock shall be duly authorized
and, when issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear
of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions
on sale (other than any restrictions on sale pursuant to applicable federal and
state securities laws) and free and clear of all preemptive rights.

         Section 4. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to
issue fractional shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant. If any
fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this
Section 4, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant (or specified portion
thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash calculated by it to be equal

                                       2
<PAGE>

to the then Current Market Value per share of Common Stock multiplied by such
fraction computed to the nearest whole cent. For the purposes of any computation
under this Warrant, the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock or of any
other equity security (herein collectively referred to as a "security") at the
date herein specified shall be:

                  (i) if the security is not registered under the Securities
         Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the "Current
         Market Value" per share of the security shall be determined in good
         faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, or

                  (ii) if the security is registered under the Exchange Act, the
         "Current Market Value" per share of the security shall be deemed to be
         the average of the daily Market Prices (as hereinafter defined) of the
         security for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the
         day as of which Current Market Value is being determined or, if the
         security has been registered under the Exchange Act for less than 10
         consecutive trading days before such date, then the average of the
         daily Market Prices for all of the trading days before such date for
         which daily Market Prices are available. The Market Price for each such
         trading day shall be: (A) in the case of a security listed or admitted
         to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or
         the Nasdaq Stock Market, the closing price on the primary exchange or
         stock market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on, on
         such day, or if no sale takes place on such day, the average of the
         closing bid and asked prices on such day, (B) in the case of a security
         not then listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange or
         stock market, the last reported sale price on such day, or if no sale
         takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked
         prices on such day, as reported by a reputable quotation source
         designated by the Company, (C) in the case of a security not then
         listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange or stock
         market and as to which no such reported sale price or bid and asked
         prices are available, the average of the reported high bid and low
         asked prices on such day, as reported by a reputable quotation service,
         or a newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, City
         and State of New York, customarily published on each business day,
         designated by the Company, or if there shall be no bid and asked prices
         on such day, the average of the high bid and low asked prices, as so
         reported, on the most recent day (not more than 10 days prior to the
         date in question) for which prices have been so reported, and (D) if
         there are no bid and asked prices reported during the 10 days prior to
         the date in question, the Current Market Value of the security shall be
         determined as if the security were not registered under the Exchange
         Act.

         Section 5. EXCHANGE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. (a) This
Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon
presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock
transfer agent for other warrants of different denomination, entitling the
Holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares
and otherwise carrying the same rights as this Warrant.

                  (b) This Warrant may be divided or combined by the Holder with
other warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office
of the Company together with a written notice specifying the names and

                                       3
<PAGE>

denominations in which new warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder
hereof. The term "Warrant" as used herein includes any warrants into which this
Warrant may be divided or for which it may be exchanged.

                  (c) Upon receipt by the Company of evidence 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, and
upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall
execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date.

         Section 6. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue
hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law
or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in
this Warrant.

         Section 7. ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. (a) Special
Definitions. For purposes of this Section 7, the following definitions shall
apply:

                  (i) "OPTIONS" shall mean rights, options or warrants to
         subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Common Stock or
         Convertible Securities, except for options to purchase Common Stock
         outstanding on the Original Issue Date with an exercise price of $2.25
         per share or greater.

                  (ii) "CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES" shall mean any evidences of
         indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock) or other securities
         convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.

                  (iii) "ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK" shall mean any
         shares of Common Stock (1) issued (or, pursuant to Section 7(b), deemed
         to be issued) by the Company after the Original Issue Date, or (2) sold
         or exchanged by the Company in conjunction with an acquisition of the
         Company after the Original Issue Date, other than shares of Common
         Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any Convertible Securities,
         or exercise of any Options, existing on the Original Issue Date.

                  (b) DEEMED ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the
event that the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue
Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record
date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to
receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of
shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any
provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of
Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock
issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have
been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, PROVIDED that in
any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be
issued:

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (i) no further adjustment in the Exercise Price for the
         Warrant Shares shall be made upon the subsequent issue of (1)
         Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of
         such Options or (2) conversion or exchange of such Convertible
         Securities;

                  (ii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
         provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the
         consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of
         shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or
         exchange thereof, the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares computed
         upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record
         date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based
         thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective,
         be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it
         affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such
         Convertible Securities; and

                  (iii) on the expiration or cancellation of any Options or the
         termination of the right to convert or exchange any Convertible
         Securities which shall have not been exercised, if the Exercise Price
         shall have been adjusted upon the original issuance thereof or shall
         have been subsequently adjusted pursuant to clause (ii) above, the
         Exercise Price shall be recomputed as if:

                           (A) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options
                  for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock
                  issued were shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued
                  upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or
                  exchange of such Convertible Securities, and the consideration
                  received therefor was the consideration actually received by
                  the Company for the issuance of all such Options, whether or
                  not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the
                  Company upon such exercise, or for the issuance of all such
                  Convertible Securities which were actually converted or
                  exchanged plus the consideration actually received by the
                  Company upon such conversion or exchange, if any, and

                           (B) in the case of Options for Convertible
                  Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually
                  issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of
                  issue of such Options and the consideration received by the
                  Company for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to
                  have been then issued was the consideration actually received
                  by the Company for the issuance of all such Options, whether
                  or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been
                  received by the Company upon the issuance of the Convertible
                  Securities with respect to which such Options were actually
                  exercised;

                  (iv) no readjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above
         shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price to an amount
         which exceeds the Exercise Price on the original adjustment date.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  (c) ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE UPON ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the event that the Company shall issue Additional
Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be
issued pursuant to Section 7(b)), then and in such event, the Exercise Price
shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance with respect to the Warrant
Shares, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying
the Exercise Price by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and (y)
the denominator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus (2) the number of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued; PROVIDED
that, for the purposes of this Section 7(c), all shares of Common Stock issuable
(i) upon exercise of this Warrant, (ii) upon conversion of all outstanding
Convertible Securities, and (iii) upon the exercise of all outstanding Options,
shall be deemed to be outstanding, and immediately after any Additional Shares
of Common Stock are deemed issued pursuant to Section 7(b), such Additional
Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding.

                  (d) ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES UPON ISSUANCE OF
ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the event that the Company shall issue
Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock
deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 7(b) and excluding shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of any Convertible Security or exercise of any
Option provided that the number of Warrant Shares was adjusted pursuant to
Section 7(b) upon the issuance of the Convertible Security or the Option), then
and in such event, the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased, concurrently
with such issuance, to an amount (calculated to the nearest Warrant Share)
determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares by a fraction (x) the
numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus (2) the number of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued and (y) the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance; PROVIDED that, for the purposes of this
Section 7(d), all shares of Common Stock issuable (i) upon exercise of this
Warrant, (ii) upon conversion of all outstanding Convertible Securities, and
(iii) upon the exercise of all outstanding Options, shall be deemed to be
outstanding, and immediately after any Additional Shares of Common Stock are
deemed issued pursuant to Section 7(b), such Additional Shares of Common Stock
shall be deemed to be outstanding.

                  (e) ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK DIVIDENDS, SUBDIVISIONS,
COMBINATIONS, OR CONSOLIDATIONS. In the event that the Company shall pay a stock
dividend on the Common Stock, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
subdivided, combined or consolidated, by reclassification, stock split or
otherwise, into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price and the Number of Warrant Shares in effect immediately prior to
such dividend, subdivision, combination or consolidation shall, concurrently
with the effectiveness of such dividend, subdivision, combination or
consolidation, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         Section 8. RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER.
In the event of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or
combination of the outstanding Common Stock, a change in the par value of the
Common Stock or a transaction subject to Section 7) or in the event of any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a merger in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and that
does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change
of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant) or in the event of any sale, lease, transfer or conveyance to
another corporation of the property and assets of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, the Company shall, as a condition precedent to
such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that such other
corporation shall assume all of the obligations of the Company hereunder and the
Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to purchase
the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property
(including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization
and other change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer or conveyance by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been received
upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification,
capital reorganization, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments in
respect of such shares of stock and other securities and property that shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 shall similarly apply
to successive reclassification, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of
Common Stock and to successive changes, consolidations, mergers, sales, leases,
transfers or conveyances. In the event that in connection with any such capital
reorganization, or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease,
transfer or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in
exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, as a whole or in part, for, or
of, a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue shall be
treated as an issue of Common Stock covered by the provisions of Section 7.

         Section 9. TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT. Neither this
Warrant, nor any of the Warrant Shares, nor any interest therein, may be sold,
assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or in any other manner transferred
or disposed of, as a whole or in part, except in compliance with applicable
United States federal and state securities or Blue Sky laws and the terms and
conditions hereof. Each Warrant shall bear a legend in substantially the same
form as the legend set forth on the first page of this initial Warrant. Each
certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at
the time of exercise such exercise is registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), shall bear a legend substantially in
the following form:

                  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
                  REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
                  "ACT") NOR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES OR
                  BLUE SKY LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES ARE "RESTRICTED"
                  AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD UNLESS THE SECURITIES ARE
                  REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR PURSUANT TO AVAILABLE EXEMPTIONS
                  FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND THE COMPANY

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  WILL BE PROVIDED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER SUCH
                  INFORMATION AS IT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH
                  EXEMPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE.

Any certificate for any Warrant Shares issued at any time in exchange or
substitution for any certificate for any Warrant Shares bearing such legend
(except a new certificate for any Warrant Shares issued after registration of
such Warrant Shares under the Securities Act) shall also bear such legend
unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the Warrant Shares
represented thereby need no longer be subject to the restriction contained
herein. The provisions of this Section 9 shall be binding upon all subsequent
holders of certificates for Warrant Shares bearing the above legend and all
subsequent Holders of this Warrant, if any. Warrant Shares sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 12, sold by
the holder thereof in compliance with Rule 904 of the Securities Act or sold by
the holder thereof in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act shall
thereafter cease to be deemed to be "Warrant Shares" for all purposes of this
Warrant.

         Section 10. LISTING ON SECURITIES EXCHANGES. The Company shall use its
reasonable efforts to list on each national securities exchange or inter-dealer
quotation system on which any Common Stock may at any time be listed all shares
of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock and the Company shall maintain such listing of all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock so long as any shares of its
Common Stock shall be so listed on such national securities exchange or
inter-dealer quotation system. Any such listing shall be at the Company's
expense.

         Section 11. AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION. The Company shall comply with
the reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act to the
extent it is required to do so under the Exchange Act, and shall likewise comply
with all other applicable public information reporting requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (including those required to make available
the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to which it may from time to
time be subject. The Company shall also cooperate with the holder of this
Warrant and the holder of any Warrant Shares in supplying such information as
may be necessary for such holder to complete and file any information reporting
forms currently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the
availability of Rule 144 or any successor rule under the Securities Act for the
sale of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares. The provisions of this Section 11
shall survive termination of this Warrant, whether upon exercise of this Warrant
in full or otherwise. The Company shall also provide to holders of this Warrant
the same information that it provides to holders of its Common Stock.

         Section 12. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All the provisions of this Warrant
by or for the benefit of the Company or the Holder shall bind and inure to the
benefit of their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives.

         Section 13. HEADINGS. The headings of sections of this Warrant have
been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part
hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions
hereof.

         Section 14. AMENDMENTS. This Warrant may not be amended except by the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.

         Section 15. NOTICES. Unless otherwise provided in this Warrant, any
notice or other communication or mailing required or permitted to be made or
given to any party hereto pursuant to this Warrant shall be deemed made or given
if delivered by hand on the date of such delivery to such party or, if mailed,
on the fifth day after the date of mailing, if sent to such party by certified
or registered mail or air mail, postage prepaid, addressed to it (in the case of

                             MAYOR'S JEWELERS, INC.

                            Warrant for the Purchase
                            of Shares of Common Stock

August 20, 2002                                       12,424,596 Warrant Shares

                  FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Mayor's Jewelers, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that Henry Birks & Sons Inc., a
Canadian corporation (the "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the provisions of
this Warrant, to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time
during the applicable Exercise Period (as hereinafter defined) the number of
fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Company, par value
$0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), set forth above, subject to adjustment
pursuant to Sections 7 and 8 hereof, at the applicable Exercise Price (as
hereinafter defined).

                  For purposes of this Warrant, "Warrant Shares" means the
12,424,596 shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant, as
of the date hereof, and as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions
of this Warrant. Unless the context requires otherwise all references to Common
Stock and Warrant Shares in this Warrant shall, in the event of an adjustment
pursuant to Section 7 hereof, be deemed to refer also to any securities or
property then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as a result of such
adjustment.

         Section 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant may be exercised, as a
whole or in part, at any time or from time to time during the applicable
Exercise Period or, if such day is a day on which banking institutions in New
York City are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day that
shall not be such a day, by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at
its principal office (or at such other address as the Company may hereafter

                                       1
<PAGE>

notify the Holder in writing) with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly
executed and accompanied by proper payment of the aggregate applicable Exercise
Price in lawful money of the United States of America in the form of a certified
or cashier's check to the order of Mayor's Jewelers, Inc. or by wire transfer of
same day funds, for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form. If this
Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of
this Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the
Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and such Purchase Form,
together with the aggregate applicable Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined)
for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such Purchase Form, at its office,
the Company shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder
and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or
certificates for the Warrant Shares. Such certificate or certificates shall be
deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein
shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of
the date of the surrender of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the
Holder or its designee. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or
similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of
the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exercise Price may be
paid by surrendering a part of the Warrant having an aggregate Spread equal to
the aggregate Exercise Price of the part Warrant being exercised. With respect
to the Warrant, "Spread" means the Current Market Value (as hereinafter defined)
of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such part of the Warrant less
the Exercise Price of such part of the Warrant, in each case as adjusted as
provided herein.

         Section 2. EXERCISE PERIOD AND EXERCISE PRICE. (a) This Warrant shall
be exercisable during the period (the "Exercise Period") beginning the date of
execution of this Warrant Agreement (the "Original Issue Date") and ending at
5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a date twenty (20) years from the execution of
this Warrant Agreement (the "Termination Date").

                  (b) "Exercise Price" means $0.35 per share, subject to
adjustment as herein provided.

         Section 3. AUTHORIZATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby agrees that upon
exercise of this Warrant all shares of its Common Stock shall be duly authorized
and, when issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear
of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions
on sale (other than any restrictions on sale pursuant to applicable federal and
state securities laws) and free and clear of all preemptive rights.

         Section 4. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to
issue fractional shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant. If any
fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this
Section 4, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant (or specified portion
thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash calculated by it to be equal
to the then Current Market Value per share of Common Stock multiplied by such

                                       2
<PAGE>

fraction computed to the nearest whole cent. For the purposes of any computation
under this Warrant, the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock or of any
other equity security (herein collectively referred to as a "security") at the
date herein specified shall be:

                  (i) if the security is not registered under the Securities
         Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the "Current
         Market Value" per share of the security shall be determined in good
         faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, or

                  (ii) if the security is registered under the Exchange Act, the
         "Current Market Value" per share of the security shall be deemed to be
         the average of the daily Market Prices (as hereinafter defined) of the
         security for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the
         day as of which Current Market Value is being determined or, if the
         security has been registered under the Exchange Act for less than 10
         consecutive trading days before such date, then the average of the
         daily Market Prices for all of the trading days before such date for
         which daily Market Prices are available. The Market Price for each such
         trading day shall be: (A) in the case of a security listed or admitted
         to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or
         the Nasdaq Stock Market, the closing price on the primary exchange or
         stock market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on, on
         such day, or if no sale takes place on such day, the average of the
         closing bid and asked prices on such day, (B) in the case of a security
         not then listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange or
         stock market, the last reported sale price on such day, or if no sale
         takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked
         prices on such day, as reported by a reputable quotation source
         designated by the Company, (C) in the case of a security not then
         listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange or stock
         market and as to which no such reported sale price or bid and asked
         prices are available, the average of the reported high bid and low
         asked prices on such day, as reported by a reputable quotation service,
         or a newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, City
         and State of New York, customarily published on each business day,
         designated by the Company, or if there shall be no bid and asked prices
         on such day, the average of the high bid and low asked prices, as so
         reported, on the most recent day (not more than 10 days prior to the
         date in question) for which prices have been so reported, and (D) if
         there are no bid and asked prices reported during the 10 days prior to
         the date in question, the Current Market Value of the security shall be
         determined as if the security were not registered under the Exchange
         Act.

         Section 5. EXCHANGE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. (a) This
Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon
presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock
transfer agent for other warrants of different denomination, entitling the
Holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares
and otherwise carrying the same rights as this Warrant.

                  (b) This Warrant may be divided or combined by the Holder with
other warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office
of the Company together with a written notice specifying the names and

                                       3
<PAGE>

denominations in which new warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder
hereof. The term "Warrant" as used herein includes any warrants into which this
Warrant may be divided or for which it may be exchanged.

                  (c) Upon receipt by the Company of evidence 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, and
upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall
execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date.

         Section 6. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue
hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law
or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in
this Warrant.

         Section 7. ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. (A) Special
Definitions. For purposes of this Section 7, the following definitions shall
apply:

                  (i) "OPTIONS" shall mean rights, options or warrants to
         subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Common Stock or
         Convertible Securities, except for options to purchase Common Stock
         outstanding on the Original Issue Date with an exercise price of $2.25
         per share or greater.

                  (ii) "CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES" shall mean any evidences of
         indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock) or other securities
         convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.

                  (iii) "ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK" shall mean any
         shares of Common Stock (1) issued (or, pursuant to Section 7(b), deemed
         to be issued) by the Company after the Original Issue Date, or (2) sold
         or exchanged by the Company in conjunction with an acquisition of the
         Company after the Original Issue Date, other than shares of Common
         Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any Convertible Securities,
         or exercise of any Options, existing on the Original Issue Date.

                  (b) DEEMED ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the
event that the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue
Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record
date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to
receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of
shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any
provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of
Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock
issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have
been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, PROVIDED that in
any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be
issued:

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (i) no further adjustment in the Exercise Price for the
         Warrant Shares shall be made upon the subsequent issue of (1)
         Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of
         such Options or (2) conversion or exchange of such Convertible
         Securities;

                  (ii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
         provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the
         consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of
         shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or
         exchange thereof, the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares computed
         upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record
         date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based
         thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective,
         be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it
         affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such
         Convertible Securities; and

                  (iii) on the expiration or cancellation of any Options or the
         termination of the right to convert or exchange any Convertible
         Securities which shall have not been exercised, if the Exercise Price
         shall have been adjusted upon the original issuance thereof or shall
         have been subsequently adjusted pursuant to clause (ii) above, the
         Exercise Price shall be recomputed as if:

                            (A) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options
                 for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock
                 issued were shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued
                 upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange
                 of such Convertible Securities, and the consideration received
                 therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company
                 for the issuance of all such Options, whether or not exercised,
                 plus the consideration actually received by the Company upon
                 such exercise, or for the issuance of all such Convertible
                 Securities which were actually converted or exchanged plus the
                 consideration actually received by the Company upon such
                 conversion or exchange, if any, and

                            (B) in the case of Options for Convertible
                 Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually
                 issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of
                 issue of such Options and the consideration received by the
                 Company for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to
                 have been then issued was the consideration actually received
                 by the Company for the issuance of all such Options, whether or
                 not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been
                 received by the Company upon the issuance of the Convertible
                 Securities with respect to which such Options were actually
                 exercised;

                  (iv) no readjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above
         shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price to an amount
         which exceeds the Exercise Price on the original adjustment date.

                  (c) ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE UPON ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the event that the Company shall issue Additional
Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be
issued pursuant to Section 7(b)), then and in such event, the Exercise Price
shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance with respect to the Warrant
Shares, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying
the Exercise Price by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and (y)
the denominator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus (2) the number of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued; PROVIDED
that, for the purposes of this Section 7(c), all shares of Common Stock issuable
(i) upon exercise of this Warrant, (ii) upon conversion of all outstanding
Convertible Securities, and (iii) upon the exercise of all outstanding Options,
shall be deemed to be outstanding, and immediately after any Additional Shares
of Common Stock are deemed issued pursuant to Section 7(b), such Additional
Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding.

                  (d) ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES UPON ISSUANCE OF
ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the event that the Company shall issue
Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock
deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 7(b) and excluding shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of any Convertible Security or exercise of any
Option provided that the number of Warrant Shares was adjusted pursuant to
Section 7(b) upon the issuance of the Convertible Security or the Option), then
and in such event, the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased, concurrently
with such issuance, to an amount (calculated to the nearest Warrant Share)
determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares by a fraction (x) the
numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus (2) the number of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued and (y) the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance; PROVIDED that, for the purposes of this
Section 7(d), all shares of Common Stock issuable (i) upon exercise of this
Warrant, (ii) upon conversion of all outstanding Convertible Securities, and
(iii) upon the exercise of all outstanding Options, shall be deemed to be
outstanding, and immediately after any Additional Shares of Common Stock are
deemed issued pursuant to Section 7(b), such Additional Shares of Common Stock
shall be deemed to be outstanding.

                  (e) ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK DIVIDENDS, SUBDIVISIONS,
COMBINATIONS, OR CONSOLIDATIONS. In the event that the Company shall pay a stock
dividend on the Common Stock, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
subdivided, combined or consolidated, by reclassification, stock split or
otherwise, into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price and the Number of Warrant Shares in effect immediately prior to
such dividend, subdivision, combination or consolidation shall, concurrently
with the effectiveness of such dividend, subdivision, combination or
consolidation, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate.

         Section 8. RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER.
In the event of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or
combination of the outstanding Common Stock, a change in the par value of the
Common Stock or a transaction subject to Section 7) or in the event of any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a merger in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and that
does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change
of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant) or in the event of any sale, lease, transfer or conveyance to
another corporation of the property and assets of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, the Company shall, as a condition precedent to
such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that such other
corporation shall assume all of the obligations of the Company hereunder and the
Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to purchase
the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property
(including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization
and other change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer or conveyance by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been received
upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification,
capital reorganization, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments in
respect of such shares of stock and other securities and property that shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 shall similarly apply
to successive reclassification, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of
Common Stock and to successive changes, consolidations, mergers, sales, leases,
transfers or conveyances. In the event that in connection with any such capital
reorganization, or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease,
transfer or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in
exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, as a whole or in part, for, or
of, a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue shall be
treated as an issue of Common Stock covered by the provisions of Section 7.

         Section 9. TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT. Neither this
Warrant, nor any of the Warrant Shares, nor any interest therein, may be sold,
assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or in any other manner transferred
or disposed of, as a whole or in part, except in compliance with applicable
United States federal and state securities or Blue Sky laws and the terms and
conditions hereof. Each Warrant shall bear a legend in substantially the same
form as the legend set forth on the first page of this initial Warrant. Each
certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at
the time of exercise such exercise is registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), shall bear a legend substantially in
the following form:

                  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
                  REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
                  "ACT") NOR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES OR
                  BLUE SKY LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES ARE "RESTRICTED"
                  AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD UNLESS THE SECURITIES ARE

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR PURSUANT TO AVAILABLE EXEMPTIONS
                  FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND THE COMPANY
                  WILL BE PROVIDED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER SUCH
                  INFORMATION AS IT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH
                  EXEMPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE.

Any certificate for any Warrant Shares issued at any time in exchange or
substitution for any certificate for any Warrant Shares bearing such legend
(except a new certificate for any Warrant Shares issued after registration of
such Warrant Shares under the Securities Act) shall also bear such legend
unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the Warrant Shares
represented thereby need no longer be subject to the restriction contained
herein. The provisions of this Section 9 shall be binding upon all subsequent
holders of certificates for Warrant Shares bearing the above legend and all
subsequent Holders of this Warrant, if any. Warrant Shares sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 12, sold by
the holder thereof in compliance with Rule 904 of the Securities Act or sold by
the holder thereof in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act shall
thereafter cease to be deemed to be "Warrant Shares" for all purposes of this
Warrant.

         Section 10. LISTING ON SECURITIES EXCHANGES. The Company shall use its
reasonable efforts to list on each national securities exchange or inter-dealer
quotation system on which any Common Stock may at any time be listed all shares
of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock and the Company shall maintain such listing of all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock so long as any shares of its
Common Stock shall be so listed on such national securities exchange or
inter-dealer quotation system. Any such listing shall be at the Company's
expense.

         Section 11. AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION. The Company shall comply with
the reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act to the
extent it is required to do so under the Exchange Act, and shall likewise comply
with all other applicable public information reporting requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (including those required to make available
the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to which it may from time to
time be subject. The Company shall also cooperate with the holder of this
Warrant and the holder of any Warrant Shares in supplying such information as
may be necessary for such holder to complete and file any information reporting
forms currently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the
availability of Rule 144 or any successor rule under the Securities Act for the
sale of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares. The provisions of this Section 11
shall survive termination of this Warrant, whether upon exercise of this Warrant
in full or otherwise. The Company shall also provide to holders of this Warrant
the same information that it provides to holders of its Common Stock.

         Section 12. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All the provisions of this Warrant
by or for the benefit of the Company or the Holder shall bind and inure to the
benefit of their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives.

         Section 13. HEADINGS. The headings of sections of this Warrant have
been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part
hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions
hereof.

         Section 14. AMENDMENTS. This Warrant may not be amended except by the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.

         Section 15. NOTICES. Unless otherwise provided in this Warrant, any
notice or other communication or mailing required or permitted to be made or
given to any party hereto pursuant to this Warrant shall be deemed made or given
if delivered by hand on the date of such delivery to such party or, if mailed,
on the fifth day after the date of mailing, if sent to such party by certified

14th Street, Sunrise, Florida 33323, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, or to
such other address as is designated by written notice, similarly given to each
other party hereto.

         Section 16. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. This Warrant shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York
applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All
actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be
heard and determined exclusively in any New York state or federal court sitting

(a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting
in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York for the purpose of any
Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto,
and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or
otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to
the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or
immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an
