               THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES

              DISTRIBUTED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
              RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY IN FORM AND

            257,950                   Common Stock
                                      Warrants

              This Warrant Certificate certifies that First London Securities
Corporation or registered assigns, is the registered holder (the "Holder") of
Common Stock Warrant of 800 Travel Systems, Inc. (the "Company"). Each Common
Stock Warrant permits the Holder to purchase initially, at any time from the
later to occur of (i) the date that the original Replacement Warrant Certificate
is delivered to the Company for cancellation, and (ii) March 13, 2001 (the
"Issue Date") until 5:00 p.m. New York Time on December 31, 2003 (the
"Expiration Time"), one share of the Company's Common Stock at the initial
exercise price, subject to adjustment in certain events (the "Share Exercise
Price"), of $1.5625 per share.

              Any exercise of the Common Stock Warrants shall be effected by
surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the exercise price thereof
at an office or agency of the Company, but subject to the conditions set forth
herein and in the Warrant Agreement dated as of March 13, 2001, between the
Company and First London Securities Corporation (the "Warrant Agreement").
Payment of the exercise price, in the event there is no cashless exercise
pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Warrant Agreement, shall be made by cash, wire
transfer, certified check or official bank check in New York Clearing House
funds payable to the order of the Company. The Common Stock Warrants are
referred to as "Warrants".

              No Warrant may be exercised after the Expiration Time, at which
time all Warrants evidenced hereby, unless exercised prior thereto, hereby shall
thereafter be void.

              The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a
duly authorized issue of Warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement,
which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part
of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights,
limitation or rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Company and the holders (the words "holders" or "holder" meaning the registered
holders or registered holder) of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement
will be provided to the Holder of this Warrant upon written request to the
Secretary of the Company at 4802 Gunn Highway, Suite 140, Tampa, Florida 33624.

              The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain
events, the exercise price, the type and the number of the Company's securities
issuable thereupon may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. In such
event, the Company will, at the request of the holder, issue a new Warrant
Certificate evidencing the

<PAGE>   2

adjustment in the exercise price and the number or type of securities, as the
case may be, issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that
the failure of the Company to issue such new Warrant Certificates shall not in
any way change, alter, or otherwise impair, the rights of the holder as set
forth in the Warrant Agreement.

              Upon due presentment for registration or transfer of this Warrant
Certificate at an office or agency of the Company, a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number
of Warrants shall be issued to the transferees in exchange for this Warrant
Certificate, subject to the limitations provided herein and in the Warrant
Agreement, without any charge except for any tax or other governmental charge
imposed in connection with such transfer.

              Upon the exercise of less than all of the Warrants evidenced by
this Certificate, the Company shall as soon as possible issue to the holder
hereof a new Warrant Certificate representing such number of unexercised
Warrants.

              The Company may deem and treat the registered holder(s) hereof as
the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation
of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any
exercise hereof, and of any distribution to the Holder, and for all other
purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

              All terms used in this Warrant Certificate which are defined in
the Warrant Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Warrant
Agreement.

              IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant
Certificate to be duly executed under its corporate seal.

              THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (the "New Warrant Agreement"), dated as of

LONDON SECURITIES CORPORATION (the "Representative").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

              WHEREAS, the Representative has acted, pursuant to that certain

connection with the Company's initial public offering on January 21, 1998 (the

and subject to that certain Warrant Agreement (the "Original Warrant
Agreement"), each dated January 21, 1998, as part of the compensation paid to

the Representative (the "Replacement Warrant Certificate") and one to Mr.
Shelmire; and

              WHEREAS, on March 24, 2000 the Representative filed an action
against the Company in the 134th District Court of Dallas County, Texas (the
"Action") asserting various breach of contract claims against the Company based
upon the Original Warrant Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement and arising
from the attempted exercise of the Original Warrant Agreement in December 1998;
and

              WHEREAS, the Representative and the Company have agreed to settle

<PAGE>   4

              2.           New Warrant Certificates.

              The New Warrant Certificates delivered and to be delivered
pursuant to this New Warrant Agreement shall be in the form set forth in the
form of Warrant Certificate attached hereto and made a part hereof, with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and other variations as
required or permitted by this New Warrant Agreement.

              3.           Exercise of Warrant.

              3.1          Full Exercise.

              (a)          The Representative or any subsequently permitted
transferee of a New Warrant Certificate (each a "Holder") may effect a cash
exercise of a New Warrant Certificate by surrendering the New Warrant
Certificate, together with a Subscription in the form of EXHIBIT 1 attached
thereto, duly executed by such Holder, to the Company at any time prior to the
Expiration Time, at the Company's principal office, accompanied by payment, by
wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the
Company in the amount of the aggregate purchase price of such Underlying Shares,
subject to any adjustments provided for in this New Warrant Agreement. The
aggregate purchase price hereunder for each Holder shall be equal to the initial
exercise price for such Underlying Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in
Article 8) multiplied by the number of Underlying Shares that are the subject of
each Holder's New Warrant Certificate (as may be adjusted as hereinafter
provided).

              (b)          A Holder may effect a cashless exercise of a New
Warrant Certificate by delivering the New Warrant Certificate to the Company
together with a Subscription in the form of EXHIBIT 2 attached thereto, duly
executed by such Holder, in which case no payment of cash will be required. Upon
such cashless exercise, the number of Underlying Shares to be delivered to the
Holder shall be equal to the number determined by dividing: (i) the number
obtained by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares that are the subject of
each Holder's New Warrant Certificate (or such number of shares subject to a
cashless exercise as specified by the Holder in EXHIBIT 2) by the difference
between (1) the Market Value (as hereafter defined), minus (2) the Share
Exercise Price; by (ii) the Market Value. The Market Value shall be the price of
a share of the Company's Common Stock as determined on a per share basis as
follows: (x) if the Common Stock is listed for trading on a national or regional
stock exchange or is included on the Nasdaq National Market or Small-Cap Market,
the average of the closing sale prices quoted on such exchange or the Nasdaq
National Market or Small-Cap Market, as published in The Wall Street Journal,
for the thirty trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise; or (y)
if the Common Stock is not so listed, admitted to trading or included, the
midpoint between the average of the midpoint between the highest reported
closing bid and lowest reported closing ask prices as quoted on the National
Association of Securities Dealer's OTC Bulletin Board or in the "pink sheets"
published by the National Daily Quotation Bureau for the thirty trading days
immediately preceding the date of exercise. If at any time the Common Stock is
not listed on any domestic securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or
the domestic over-the-counter market, the "Market Value" shall be the fair value
thereof as determined by the Company's Board of Directors.

              3.2          Partial Exercise.

              A New Warrant Certificate referred to in Section 3.1 above also
may be exercised from time to time in part by surrendering the New Warrant
Certificate in the manner specified in Section 3.1, except that with respect to
a cash exercise, the purchase price payable with respect to such exercise shall
be equal to the number of Underlying Shares being purchased multiplied by the
exercise price for such Underlying Shares, subject to any adjustments provided
for in this New Warrant Agreement. Upon any such partial exercise, the Company
will, as soon as practicable, issue to the Holder hereof in its name a new
Warrant Certificate or Warrants of like tenor for the number of securities for
which the New Warrant Certificate shall not have been exercised.

              3.3          Exercise Date.

              Subscriptions in the form of EXHIBITS 1 OR 2 must be received by
the Company within twenty-four hours of the date of exercise, which date shall
be set forth on such form of Subscriptions (the "Exercise Date"). No exercise
shall be valid or effective unless such properly prepared form of Subscription
is received by the Company within such twenty-four hour time period following
the Exercise Date.

<PAGE>   5

              4.           Issuance of Certificates.

              Upon the exercise of the New Warrant Certificates, the issuance of
certificates for the Underlying Shares shall be effected as promptly as
practicable and without charge to the Holder thereof including, without
limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and
such certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Articles 5 and 7) be
issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder
thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of any such certificates in a name other than that of the Holder and
the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless
or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid
to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

              The New Warrant Certificates and the certificates representing the
shares of Common Stock shall be duly executed on behalf of the Company and dated
the date of execution by the Company upon initial issuance, division, exchange,
substitution or transfer.

              5.           Restriction On Exercise and Transfer of the New
Warrant Certificates.

              The Holder of a New Warrant Certificate, by acceptance thereof,
covenants and agrees that the Warrants may not be sold, transferred, assigned,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part without the prior
written consent of the Company, which may be withheld in its sole discretion and
without reason, or by operation of law. The Holder of a New Warrant Certificate
by acceptance thereof, covenants and agrees that the New Warrant Certificates
may not be exercised until such time as a registration statement covering the
resale of the Underlying Shares has been declared effective by the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). The Holder further agrees
that any exercise of a New Warrant Certificate will result in the issuance of
restricted Common Stock to the Holder, except in the event that the Holder
exercises utilizing the cashless exercise provision at least two years after the
Issue Date.

              6.         Exercise Price.

              6.1        Initial and Adjusted Exercise Prices.

              The initial Share Exercise Price of each Warrant shall be $1.5625
per share. The adjusted exercise price of any Warrant Certificate shall be the
price which shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments of the
initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of Article 8. The
Warrants are exercisable during the period commencing on the Issue Date and
ending on December 31, 2003.

              6.2        Exercise Price.

              The term "Share Exercise Price" herein shall mean the initial
exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending upon the context.

              7.         Registration Rights.

              7.1        Restrictive Legend.

              The New Warrant Certificate and the Underlying Shares have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The
New Warrant Certificate shall bear the following restrictive legend:

<PAGE>   6

              THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
              OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE
              SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE
              DISTRIBUTED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
              RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY IN FORM AND
              SUBSTANCE TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
              UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE
              STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Upon exercise, in part or in whole, of a New Warrant Certificate, certificates
representing the Underlying Shares shall also bear the restrictive legend set
forth above.

              7.2          Registration Under the Securities Act of 1933.

              (a)          The Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to
prepare and file with the Commission, at the sole expense of the Company, on one
occasion, a registration statement and/or such other documents, including a
prospectus, and/or any other appropriate disclosure document (the "Registration
Statement") as may be reasonably necessary in the opinion of the Company and its
counsel, in order to comply with the provisions of the Act, so as to permit the
resale of Underlying Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New
Warrant Certificate (the "Registrable Securities") by the Representative. The
Company agrees (subject to its suspension rights set forth below) to use its
reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
for the Representative until the first anniversary of the Issue Date or when all
Registrable Securities included therein have been sold, if earlier.

              The Representative covenants and agrees to cooperate with the
Company in the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, to provide
all such information and materials concerning the Representative and take all
such action as may be reasonably required to permit the Company to comply with
all applicable requirements of the Commission and to obtain acceleration of the
effective date of the Registration Statement, and that the Registration
Statement shall not be used for the resale of the Underlying Shares of Common
Stock more than one year after the Issue Date.

                         (b)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
may delay filing the Registration Statement, and may withhold efforts to cause
the Registration Statement to become effective, if the Company determines in
good faith that such registration might (1) interfere with or affect the
negotiation or completion of any transaction that is being contemplated by the
Company (whether or not a final decision has been made to undertake such
transaction) at the time the right to delay is exercised, or (2) involve initial
or continuing disclosure obligations that might not be in the best interest of
the Company's stockholders. If after the Registration Statement becomes
effective, the Company advises the holders of the Registerable Securities that
the Company considers it appropriate for the Registration Statement to be
amended or suspended, the holders of such Registrable Securities shall suspend
any further sales of their Registrable Securities until the Company advises them
that the Registration Statement has been amended or the suspension has been
lifted.

                         (c)        The Representative covenants and agrees to
provide the Company with twenty-four hour prior written notice of its intent to
sell any Registrable Securities using the Registration Statement so that the
Company may properly exercise its suspension rights in Section 7.2(b). The
Representative further covenants and agrees to cooperate with the Company in
consummating a sale using the Registration Statement and having the Company's
transfer agent issue any shares of common stock upon the proper exercise of a
New Warrant Certificate as herein set forth to the Representative or a third
party purchaser of any Registrable Securities.

              7.3        Covenants of the Company With Respect to Registration.

              In connection with any registration under Section 7.2, the Company
covenants and agrees as follows:

              (a)          The Company shall use its best efforts to file the
Registration Statement and to have the Registration Statement declared effective
at the earliest practicable time, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(b).
The Company will promptly notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, and
confirm such advice in writing, (i)

<PAGE>   7

when the Registration Statement becomes effective, (ii) when any post-effective
amendment to such registration statement becomes effective, and (iii) of any
request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement
or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information.

              The Company shall furnish to the Representative such number of
copies of the Registration Statement and of each such amendment and supplement
thereto (in each case including the prospectus) in conformity with the
requirements of the Act, and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities.

              (b)          The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used
in connection therewith as may be reasonably necessary to keep the Registration
Statement effective until the first anniversary of the Issue Date, and to comply
with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities
covered by the Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers of Registrable
Securities set forth in such registration statement. If at any time the SEC
should institute or threaten to institute any proceedings for the purpose of
issuing a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
the Company will promptly notify each seller of such Registrable Securities and
will use all reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order
or to obtain the withdrawal thereof as soon as possible.

              (c)          The Company shall indemnify the Representative
against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all expenses
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim
whatsoever) to which it may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, arising solely from information in the Registration Statement
provided by the Company.

              (d)          The Representative and its permitted successors and
assigns shall jointly and severally indemnify the Company, its officers and
directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss,
claim, damage or expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever)
to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise,
arising from written information furnished by such Holder, or their successors
or assigns, for specific inclusion in the Registration Statement. The
Representative further agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from
any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability arising from any delay in having
issued or issuing the Underlying Shares to the Representative upon exercise or
to any third party purchaser of any Registrable Securities under the
Registration Statement.

              8.         Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities.

              8.1        Adjustment for Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations or
Reclassification.

              In case the Company shall (a) pay a dividend in shares of capital
stock or make a distribution in shares of its capital stock (whether shares of
Common Stock or of capital stock of any other class), (b) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (c) combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d)
issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of capital
stock of the Company; then, and in each such case, the Share Exercise Price, and
the number of Underlying Shares for which the New Warrant Certificate may be
exercised in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that
the Holder thereafter upon the exercise thereof shall be entitled to receive the
number and kind of shares of the Company which such Holder would have owned
immediately following such action had the New Warrant Certificate been exercised
immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall
become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of
an adjustment made pursuant to this Section, the Holder shall become entitled to
receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Board
of Directors of the Company (whose determination shall be conclusive) shall
determine the allocation of the adjusted Share Exercise Price between or among
shares of such class of capital stock.

<PAGE>   8

              8.2          Adjustment For Reorganization, Merger or
Consolidation.

              In case of any reorganization of the Company or consolidation of
the Company with, or merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result
in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), the
corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to
the Holder a supplemental warrant agreement providing that the Holder of each
New Warrant Certificate, then outstanding or to be outstanding, shall have the
right thereafter (until the expiration of such New Warrant Certificate) to
receive, upon exercise of such New Warrant Certificate, the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of
the Company for which such New Warrant Certificate might have been exercised
immediately prior to such reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
sale or transfer. Such supplemental warrant agreement shall provide for
adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in Section 8.1
and such other rights as provided in this New Warrant Agreement. The Company
shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or similar transaction as
contemplated by this Section 8.2, unless in connection with the consummation
thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from
such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing, receiving, or
leasing such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by
written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Holders, such shares of
stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such holders may be entitled to purchase, and to perform the other obligations
of the Company under this New Warrant Agreement. The above provision of this
Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or successively
whenever any event listed above shall occur.

              8.3          No Adjustment of Share Exercise Price in Certain
Cases.

              No adjustment of the Share Exercise Price shall be made if the
amount of said adjustment would be less than $.06; provided, however, that in
any such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made
shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the
next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried
forward, shall amount to at least $.06.

              8.4          Certificate of Adjustment.

              In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Share
Exercise Price, or the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon exercise of the
New Warrant Certificates, the Company, at its expense, shall compute such
adjustment or readjustment in accordance herewith and prepare a certificate
showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by
first class mail, postage prepaid, to any Holder of the New Warrant
Certificates, as the case may be, at the Holder's address as shown on the
Company's books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or
readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based including, but not limited to, a statement of (i) the
Share Exercise Price at the time in effect, and (ii) the number of additional
Underlying Shares and the type and amount, if any, of other property which at
the time would be received upon exercise of the New Warrant Certificates.

              9.           Exchange and Replacement of New Warrant Certificates.

             Each New Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon
the surrender thereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive office

in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Underlying Shares in
such denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of
such surrender.

             Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any New Warrant
Certificates, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all
reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of

              10.          Elimination of Fractional Interest.

             The Company shall not be required to issue certificates
representing fractions of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the New
Warrant Certificates nor shall it be required to issue script or pay cash in
lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all
fractional interests may be eliminated, at the Company's option, by rounding any
fraction down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities, properties or rights, or in lieu thereof applying the value of such
fractional interest to expenses associated with such certificate issuance.

              11.          Reservation.

             The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon
the exercise of the New Warrant Certificates, such number of shares of Common
Stock or other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the
exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the
New Warrant Certificates, and payment of the exercise price therefor, all shares
of Common Stock and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly
and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable.

              12.          Notices to Warrant Holders.

             Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
conferring upon the Holders of the New Warrant Certificates the right to vote or
to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of
stockholders, for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having
any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time
prior to the expiration of the New Warrant Certificates and their exercise, any
of the following events shall occur:

              (a)          The Company shall take a record of the holders of its
shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend
or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or
distribution payable otherwise than out of current or retained earnings, as
indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the
books of the Company; or

              (b)          The Company shall offer to all the holders of its
Common Stock any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or
any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor; or

              (c)          A dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of
all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety
shall be proposed; then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall
give written notice of such event at least 15 days prior to the date fixed as a
record date of the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of
the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or
exchangeable securities or subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such
proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notices shall
specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case
may be. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of any action taken in connection with the declaration or payment of
any such dividend, or the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable
securities, or subscription rights, options or warrants, or any proposed
dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.

              13.          Notices.

              All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder

                  "Share" shall mean a share of Series A Preferred Stock.

                  "Shareholder" shall mean any Person who has legal title to the
Common Stock of the Company.

         Section 2.   Dividends.

         (a) General Obligation. When, as and if declared by the Board, the
Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4, pay dividends to the
Record Holders in the manner provided in this Section 2(a). Except as otherwise
provided herein, Cumulative Dividends on each Share will accrue on each Accrual
Date whether or not such dividends have been declared or whether or not there
are profits, surplus or other funds to the Company legally available for the
payment of such dividends, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each of
January 5, April 5, July 5 and October 5; provided, however, dividends will be
paid only at such time as both (A) funds of the Company are legally available
for payment thereof under the DGCL, as in effect immediately prior to such
payment and (B) the Board declares and authorizes such payment. All unpaid
dividends will compound on a quarterly basis and shall be added to the
Preference Amount. Dividends shall be payable in cash in an amount per Share
(subject to adjustments for stock splits and combinations and rounded to the
nearest cent) equal to the Preferred Rate, from the date of issuance of the
Shares to the date of such payment.

                                       3

         (b) Distribution of Partial Dividend Payments. If at any time the
Company pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect
to the Series A Preferred Stock, such payment will be distributed pro rata among
the Record Holders.

         (c) Priority. The Series A Preferred Stock is senior to all other
capital stock of the Company, including specifically the Common Stock and any
other series or class of stock as may be designated by the Board from time to
time, in right of priority to Distributions paid as dividends or otherwise. No
dividends or other Distribution with respect to any other series or class of
capital stock of the Company shall be declared or paid prior to the declaration
and payment in full of all Cumulative Dividends accrued as of the last day of
the preceding quarter.

         Section 3.   Liquidation. The Series A Preferred Stock is senior to all
other capital stock of the Company, including specifically the Common Stock and
any other series or class of stock as may be designated by the Board from time
to time, in right of priority to Distributions paid in liquidation or otherwise.
Upon occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the Record Holders will be entitled to
be paid, before any payment or other Distribution is made upon any other equity
securities of the Company, an amount in cash equal to the Preference Amount plus
any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon up to the date of occurrence of the
Liquidation Event. If upon any Liquidation Event the assets of the Company to be
distributed among the Record Holders are insufficient to permit such payment in
full to each Record Holder, then the entire assets to be distributed will be
distributed ratably among such Record Holders. The Company will mail written
notices of a Liquidation Event not less than 20 days prior to the payment date
stated therein to each Record Holder. After the Preference Amount plus accrued
dividends have been paid on all outstanding Shares, and any other preference
amount is paid on any other series of preferred stock of the Company in
accordance with the rights designated thereto, any remaining funds and assets of
the Company legally available for distribution to Shareholders will be
distributed ratably among the Shareholders in accordance with their Common Stock
holdings on an as converted basis.

         Section 4.   Conversion

         (a) Mandatory Conversion. In the event that the Shareholders of the
Company shall have approved the issuance of shares of Common Stock in exchange
for the Shares in accordance with the Rules of Association as set forth in the
National Association of Securities Dealers Manual, then without any action on
the part of the Record Holders thereof or the Company, each outstanding Share
shall be converted automatically into fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock in accordance with the conversion ratio set forth in Section 4(b)
hereof on the Conversion Date; provided, however, that upon such conversion of
Shares, such Record Holder shall not be entitled to receive any accrued but
unpaid Cumulative Dividends or any other amount payable pursuant to Section 2
hereof.

         (b) Conversion Ratio. Each Share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing
the Closing Price by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date
(initially equivalent to a conversion ratio of one (1) share of Common Stock for
each Share), as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

         (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the occurrence of the event specified
in Section 4(a), the outstanding Shares shall be converted automatically without
any further action by the

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
Record Holder of such Shares and whether or not the certificate or certificates
representing such Shares are surrendered to the Company or to any transfer agent
for the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be obligated to issue to any such Record Holder certificates evidencing the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificate or
certificates evidencing the Shares are either delivered to the Company or to any
authorized transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock.

         (d) Conversion Date. Any conversion of Shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock shall be deemed to have been effected immediately upon the fifth (5th) day
following the date on which the Shareholder approval described in Section 4(a)
is obtained.

         (e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
issued upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and the number of shares
of Common Stock to be issued to any Record Holder shall be rounded down to the
nearest whole number.

         (f) Stock to be Reserved. The Company will at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, free from preemptive rights,
solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Shares as herein
provided, such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall then be issuable
upon the conversion of all outstanding Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Upon the conversion of any Shares of Series A Preferred Stock, each share of
Common Stock issued upon the conversion thereof shall be duly authorized, fully
paid and nonassessable.

         (g) Approvals. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the
purpose of conversion of Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion,
then the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to
secure such registration or approval, as the case may be. If, and so long as,
any Common Stock into which the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then
convertible is listed on any national securities exchange or quoted on the
automated quotation system of a national securities association, the Company
will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or association, list and keep
listed on such exchange or association, upon official notice of issuance, all
shares of such Common Stock issuable upon conversion.

         (h) No Reissuance of Converted Shares. Each Share of the Series A
Preferred Stock converted by the Record Holder thereof into shares of the Common
Stock as provided herein shall be canceled and retired and shall not be
reissued.

         Section 5.   Antidilution Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

         (a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Etc. Except as provided in Section
5(c), in the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Issue
Date shall declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common
Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in
Common Stock), then and in any such event, the Conversion Price shall be
adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price prior to the adjustment by the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective
time of such event and dividing the result by the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after the

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
effective time of such event, effective in the case of such dividend,
immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination
of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend, or in the case of
a subdivision or combination, at the close of business immediately prior to the
date upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

         (b) Adjustments for Other Dividends. In the event the Company at any
time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock or in
assets (excluding cash dividends or Distributions), then and in each such event,
adequate provision shall be made so that the Record Holders receive upon
conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock
receivable thereupon, the amount of securities or other assets of the which such
Record Holders would have received had the Series A Preferred Stock been
converted prior to such effective record date.

         (c) Exceptions. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5
notwithstanding, no adjustment shall apply to the issuance of any Common Stock
or other securities or options issued or issuable with approval of the Record
Holders holding a majority of the outstanding Shares.

         (d) Calculation of Adjustments to Conversion Price. The calculation by
the Board of any adjustment to the Conversion Price, made in good faith and in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, shall be final and
binding on all Shareholders of the Company.

         (e) Reports of Adjustments. Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price
or the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock
shall be convertible, or upon the occurrence of any other event requiring
adjustments pursuant to Section 5 hereof, then and in each case the Company
shall give written notice thereof to each Record Holder, which notice shall
state the adjusted Conversion Price or the adjusted number of shares of Common
Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible (or which
shall describe the new stock, securities, cash or other property receivable by
such Record Holder upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock), as
applicable, resulting from such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable
detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the method upon which such
adjustment was made, and the effective date of such adjustment.

         Section 6.   Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided in Section
5(c)and Section 7 hereof or as required by law, no Shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on any matters to be voted on with
respect to the Company, and the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be included
in determining the number of shares voting or entitled to vote on such matters.

         Section 7.   Restrictions and Limitations. So long as any Shares remain
outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any successor by merger
or consolidation of the Company, without the approval by vote or written consent
of the Record Holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares to:

         (a) No Senior Securities. Authorize or issue, or obligate itself to
issue, any other equity security senior to or on a parity with the Series A
Preferred Stock as to dividend, liquidation preferences or conversion rights;

                                       6
<PAGE>   7
         (b) No Change in Authorized Shares. Increase or decrease (other than by
redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized Shares of Series A
Preferred Stock;

         (c) No Change in Rights. Change, by amending Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws, or otherwise, any of the rights, preferences, privileges
or limitations provided for herein for the benefit of the Series A Preferred
Stock;

         (d) No Change in the Number of Directors. Change the number of
directors or increase the authorized number of shares of capital stock; or

         (e) No Preference to Subordinate Stock. Make any Distribution, as a
dividend, in liquidation or otherwise, in preference to the Series A Preferred
Stock.

Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting the Company's ability to make any
subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock or approving any
merger, consolidation, asset sale or stock sale.

         Section 8.   Redemption.

         (a) Optional Redemption by the Record Holders. At any time following
the Issue Date, and in accordance with the notice procedures set forth below,
each Record Holder shall have the right, at its sole election and option, to
redeem all but not less than all outstanding Shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock held by each Record Holder thereof, in each case at a redemption price per
Share payable in cash equal to the Redemption Price together with accrued but
unpaid dividends thereon and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

         (b) Notice of Redemption. Notice of any redemption pursuant to this
Section 8 shall be sent by or on behalf of the Record Holder not less than ten
(10) nor more than sixty (60) business days prior to the Redemption Date
specified in such notice to the Company; provided, however, that no failure to
give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Shares except as to
the Company if such notice by or on behalf of the Record Holder was defective.
In addition to any information required by law, such notice shall state: (i) the
Redemption Date fixed by the Record Holder and (ii) the Redemption Price.
Subject to Section 3 hereof, upon the mailing of any such notice of redemption,
the Company shall, subject to any limitations of DGCL, become obligated to
redeem at the Redemption Date all Shares called for redemption.

         (c) Insufficient Funds. If the funds of the Company legally available
for redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8 are
insufficient to redeem the total number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock to
be redeemed, the Company shall redeem only such number of Shares of Series A
Preferred Stock as may be allowed out of funds legally available, subject to any
limitations of DGCL, for redemption of such Shares. In such event, the Company
shall select Shares for redemption on a pro rata basis for each Record Holder
based on its percentage of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock held. At any time
thereafter, when additional funds of the Company are legally available for the
redemption of Series A Preferred Stock, such funds, subject to any limitations
of DGCL, will be used at the earliest permissible time, to redeem the balance of
such Shares, or such portion thereof for which funds are then legally available.

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
         (d) Fiduciary Duty. The Company hereby agrees that any redemption of
Shares pursuant to this Section 8 will not result in a breach of the fiduciary
duty owed by any of the Record Holders (including in their capacity, if any, as
officers and directors of the Company) to either the Company or its Shareholders
and neither the Company nor its Shareholders shall be entitled to bring any
action or claim against any of them as a result of any such redemption.

         Section 9.   Recapitalization, Merger, Etc.

         (a) If the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of
the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a
different number of shares of any other class or classes or series of capital
stock of the Company, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or
otherwise, then, and in each such event, adequate provisions shall be made such
that the holder of each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the
right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of
capital stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
reorganization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of
shares of the Common Stock into which such share of the Series A Preferred Stock
could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization,
reclassification or other change. No adjustments or provision for adjustments
shall be made with respect to the Conversion Price as a result of any of the
events described in this Section 9.

         (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, if, at any time or
from time to time, the Company shall be a party to a merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, a share exchange involving the Company
or shall sell, lease, exchange or transfer all or substantially all of the
property or assets of the Company to any other Person, then, as a condition to
the consummation of such transaction, adequate provision shall be made so that
each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be
entitled to receive, per share of Series A Preferred Stock, upon conversion of
the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (i) the number of shares of capital
stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor
corporation, resulting from such merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale,
lease, exchange or transfer, that would have been received per share of Common
Stock by holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock had their shares of
Series A Preferred Stock been converted into shares of the Common Stock
immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction multiplied by (ii) the
number of shares of the Common Stock into which each share of the Series A
Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to the consummation
of such transaction. No adjustments or provision for adjustments shall be made
with respect to the Conversion Price as a result of any of the events described
in this Section 9.

         Section 10.   Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made
without charge to the Record Holders thereof of any issuance or other tax in
respect thereof, or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such
conversion and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
certificate in a name other than that of the Record Holder of the Series A
Preferred Stock which is being converted.

         Section 11.   Notices. All notices referred to herein, except as
otherwise expressly provided, will be hand delivered or made by mail, postage
prepaid, and will be deemed to have been given when so hand delivered or mailed
to the last known address of the Record Holder as set forth on the stock ledger
of the Company.
