                                NOTE AND WARRANT
                               PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         THIS NOTE PURCHASE AND OPTION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and
entered into as of the 9th day of March, 2000, by and between E COM VENTURES,
INC., a Florida Corporation ("Lender"), and TAKE TO AUCTION.COM, INC., a Florida
corporation (the "Corporation").

                                    RECITALS

         A. Lender desires to lend to Corporation, and the Corporation desires
to borrow from Lender an amount equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the
"Principal Amount") upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

         B. In connection with the loan, the Corporation shall deliver to Lender
a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Promissory Note").

         C. In connection with the loan, the Corporation shall issue a Warrant
for the purchase of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock (the "Common
Shares") following the consummation of the initial public offering of the Common
Shares (the "IPO").

                                    AGREEMENT

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         Section 1. Loan. At the "Closing" (as defined below), the Corporation
shall deliver to the Lender the Promissory Note, which note shall be in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Promissory Note").

         Section 2. Warrant. At the Closing, the Corporation shall deliver to
the Lender a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Warrant").

         Section 3. Closing. The closing of the loan by the Lender to the
Corporation described herein and the sale of the Warrant by the Corporation to
Lender (the "Closing") shall occur at such time and place as the Corporation
shall designate by written notice to the undersigned. At the Closing, the
Corporation shall deliver the Lender the Promissory Note and the Warrant.
Lender, upon proper tender of the Promissory Note and the Warrant from the
Corporation, shall tender payment of the Principal Amount in cash or by official
bank check or money order (or such other form of consideration as may be
mutually agreed upon by the parties) less any portion
<PAGE>

previously paid to the Corporation prior to the date of the Closing. Corporation
shall pay all stamp taxes arising in connection with the issuance of the
Promissory Note.

         Section 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Lender. Lender
hereby represents and warrants to the Corporation as follows:

                  (a) State Securities Laws. Lender received this Agreement and
first learned of the offer of the sale of the Promissory Note and the Warrant
(together, the "Offered Securities") in Florida. Lender executed and will
execute all documents contemplated hereby in Florida, and intends that the laws
of Florida govern this offering of Offered Securities.

                           Lender understands, agrees and acknowledges that the
Offered Securities have not been registered under the Florida Securities Act and
that such securities are being offered in reliance upon exemption provisions
contained therein which the Corporation believes are available. Any sale made
pursuant to such exemption provisions is voidable by Lender within three
business days after the first tender of consideration is made by Lender to the
issuer, an agent of the issuer or an escrow agent. A withdrawal within such
three day period will be without any further liability to any person. To
accomplish this withdrawal, a Lender need only send a letter or telegram to the
Corporation at the address set forth in this Agreement, indicating his or her
intention to withdraw.

                           Such letter or telegram should be sent and postmarked
prior to the end of the aforementioned third business day. It is advisable to
send such letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, to ensure that it
is received and also to evidence the date it was mailed. If the request is made
orally, in person or by telephone, to a representative of the Corporation, a
written confirmation that the request has been received will be requested.

                  (b) Authority. Lender has the capacity, power and authority to
execute this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by Lender and (assuming the due execution and
delivery hereof by the Corporation) constitutes a valid and binding obligation
of Lender enforceable against Lender in accordance with its terms.

                  (c) Acquisition for Investment. Lender shall acquire the
Offered Securities for investment solely for Lender's account and not for
distribution to others.

                  (d) Restrictions on Transfer. Lender understands that Lender
must bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Offered Securities for an
indefinite period of time because, except as provided in this Agreement, (i) the
Corporation's sale of the Offered Securities to Lender will not be registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and applicable state
securities laws in reliance on Lender's representations; (ii) the Offered
Securities may not be sold, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of
without the consent of the Corporation and an opinion of counsel for or
satisfactory to the Corporation that registration under the Act or any
applicable state securities laws is not required (provided that no opinion shall
be required if the Offered Securities are disposed of in accordance with Rule
144 under the Act); (iii) the Corporation neither has an obligation to register
a sale of the Offered Securities nor

                                       2
<PAGE>

has it agreed to do so in the future; and (iv) the exemption provided in Rule
144 under the Act is not presently available for the resale of any Offered
Securities.

                  (e) Certain Risk Factors. Lender understands the speculative
nature of and risks involved in the proposed investment in and loan to the
Corporation, and all matters relating to the structure and the operations of the
Corporation have been discussed and explained to Lender's satisfaction. Lender
specifically acknowledges, understands and agrees that, (i) that no return on
investment (other than payment of interest under the Promissory Note), whether
through distributions, appreciation, transferability or otherwise, and no
above-average or other performance, by, through or of the Corporation, has been
promised, assured, represented or warranted by the Corporation or any director,
officer, employee, agent or representative thereof; (ii) that there is no
present public or other market for the Offered Securities and that there may
never be a public or other market for the Offered Securities; and (iii) that the
purchase of the Offered Securities is a highly speculative investment, involving
a high degree of risk, and is suitable only for persons of adequate financial
means who are able to bear the economic risks inherent in such an investment and
have no need for liquidity in this investment in that, among other things, (a)
such persons may not be able to liquidate their investment in the event of an
emergency or otherwise, (b) transferability is extremely limited, and (c) in the
event of a disposition or otherwise, such persons could sustain a complete loss
of their entire investment.

                  (f) Restrictive Legends. Lender understands that the Offered
Securities the Note Shares, and the shares to be issued upon exercise of the
Warrant (the "Warrant Shares", and together, the "Issued Shares") if issued,
will each bear a restrictive legend prohibiting the transfer thereof except in
compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws.

                  (g) Access to Information. Lender has been offered, and up to
the date of purchase shall be offered, the opportunity to ask questions of, and
receive answers from, the Corporation and to obtain any additional information,
to the extent that the Corporation possesses such information or could have
acquired it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the
accuracy of the information contained in the documents delivered to Lender and
has in general had access to all information Lender has deemed material to an
investment decision with respect to the purchase of the Offered Securities.

                  (h) Investment Experience. Lender acknowledges that it is able
to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Offered
Securities, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in the Shares. Lender represents that Lender is an "accredited investor" within
the meaning of such term under paragraph (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or
(a)(8) of Rule 501 under Regulation D under the Securities Act.

         Section 5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Corporation.

         In order to induce the Lender into this Agreement, the Corporation
represents and warrants to and agrees with the Lender as follows:

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (a) Existence and Good Standing. The Corporation is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing, or the equivalent thereof,
under the laws of the State of Florida. The Corporation has the requisite power
and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its
business as now being conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Corporation
is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing, or the
equivalent thereof, and is authorized to do business, in each jurisdiction in
which the character or location of the properties owned, leased or operated by
the Corporation or the nature of the business conducted by such entity makes
such qualification or license necessary, except where any such failure to be
duly qualified or licensed or in good standing, or the equivalent thereof, would
not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, financial
condition or results of operations of the Corporation, taken as a whole, or on
the ability of the Corporation to perform its obligations under the Agreement (a
"Material Adverse Effect").

                  (b) Authority. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants
to Lender that, the Corporation has the power and authority to execute and
deliver this Agreement, the Note and the Warrant and to perform its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Note and the Warrant by the Corporation and the performance of
its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized and approved
by all necessary action (including, without limitation, all action of the Board
of Directors, or the equivalent thereof, and shareholders or other required
persons of the Corporation) and no other action on the part of such persons is
necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Note and the Warrant by the Corporation. This Agreement, the Note
and the Warrant have been duly executed and delivered by the Corporation and,
assuming due execution thereof by the other parties thereto, are the valid and
binding obligations of the Corporation enforceable against the Corporation in
accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by
general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding brought in equity or at law). The Corporation has
reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock for issuance upon
conversion of the Note and Exercise of the Warrant. Upon the issuance of the
Issued Shares, such shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.

                  (c) Rule 144. Following the consummation of the IPO (assuming
such IPO occurs) and during such time as the Corporation is a public company
with its securities registered under the Act, the Corporation will use
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that it is in compliance with the
requirements of Rule 144 under the Act applicable to the issuer of securities,
so as to facilitate non-registered sales of the Corporation's securities held by
the Lender, consistent with the limitations and requirements of Rule 144 under
the Act. Nothing in this Section 5(c) shall be deemed as either (i) any
representation or warranty that the Corporation will become a public corporation
with securities registered under the Act, or (ii) any covenant or agreement by
the Corporation to register, under federal or state securities laws or
otherwise, any of the Corporation's securities issued to, or held by, the
Lender.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (d) Financial Statements. Attached hereto as Exhibit C are the
Corporation's audited financial statements (balance sheet and statement of
operations, statement of changes in shareholders' equity and statement of cash
flows, including notes thereto) as at its most recent audit date (the "Audit
Date") (the "Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements have been prepared
in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and with
each other, except that the unaudited Financial Statements may not contain all
footnotes required by GAAP. The Financial Statements fairly present the
financial condition, stockholders' equity and cash flows and operating results
of the Corporation as of the date, and for the periods, indicated therein. Other
than as disclosed in the Financial Statements, the Corporation has no material
liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business subsequent to the Audit Date and (ii) obligations
under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and
not required under GAAP to be reflected in the Financial Statements, which, in
both cases, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial
condition or operating results of the Corporation.

                  Each of the balance sheets included in the Financial
Statements (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents the
financial position of the Corporation as of its date and each of the statements
of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows included in or
incorporated by reference into the Financial Statements (including any related
notes and schedules) fairly presented the results of operations, retained
earnings or cash flows, as the case may be, of the entity or entities to which
it relates for the periods set forth therein, in each case in accordance with
GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted
therein and except, in the case of the unaudited statements, subject to normal
recurring year-end adjustments.

                  The capitalization of the Corporation is as set forth in
Exhibit D attached hereto.

                  (e) Consents and Approvals; no Violations. The execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Note and the Warrant by the Corporation and
compliance by the Corporation with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof
and the issuance of the Note Shares and Warrant Shares by the Corporation and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and
will not (a) violate or contravene any provision of the articles of
incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, (b) violate or contravene any
statute, rule, regulation, licensing requirement, order or decree of any court,
arbitrator or any other public body or authority by which the Corporation is
bound or by which any of its properties or assets are bound, (c) require any
filing with, or permit, consent authorization, qualification or approval of, or
exemption from, or the giving of any notice to, any governmental or regulatory
body, agency or authority, or any other person (other than required filings
under the Act or the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") which
have been or prior to the Closing will be made) or (d) result in a violation or
breach of, conflict with, constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of
time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation,
payment or acceleration) under, or result in the creation of any encumbrance
upon any of the properties or assets of the Corporation under, any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license,
franchise, permit, agreement, lease, franchise agreement or any

                                       5
<PAGE>

other instrument or obligation to which the Corporation is bound, or by which it
or any of its properties or assets may be bound.

                  (f) Compliance with Laws. The Corporation is in compliance in
all material respects with all applicable laws, regulations, licensing
requirements, orders, judgments and decrees and has obtained all required
governmental approvals and permits in each jurisdiction in which they currently
do business, in each case except where the failure to do so would not have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Corporation. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Corporation is in compliance in all respects with the United
States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

                  (g) Employment Relations. The Corporation is in substantial
compliance with all federal, state or other applicable laws, domestic or
foreign, respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of
employment and wages and hours, and has not, and is not, engaged in any unfair
labor practice and there is no labor strike, dispute, slowdown or stoppage
actually pending or threatened against or involving the Corporation.

                  (h) Securities Law Compliance. Assuming that the
representations set forth in Section 5 are true and correct, the offering,
issuance, sale and delivery of the Promissory Note and Warrant and the Warrant
Shares and the Note Shares to the Lender is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Act. The Corporation has complied with, or is exempt from,
all registration requirements of all applicable state securities laws, or
foreign securities law, in connection with the offering, issue, sale and
delivery of the Shares.

                  (i) Broker's or Finder's Fees. No agent, broker, person or
firm acting on behalf of the Corporation is, or will be, entitled to any
commission or broker's or finder's fees from the Corporation, or from any person
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Corporation, in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

                  (j) Corporation Registration.

                           (i) Notice; Registration Rights. If (but without any
obligation to do so) the Corporation proposes to register (including, without
limitation, for this purpose a registration effected by the Corporation for
shareholders other than the Lender) any of its stock or other securities under
the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than a
registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a
Corporation stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or
other transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, a registration on any form that
does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be
included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Issued Shares or a
registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), the
Corporation shall, at such time, promptly give Lender written notice of such
registration. Upon the written request of Lender given within twenty (20) days
after mailing of such notice by the Corporation in accordance with Section 7,
the Corporation shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(c), use all
commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of
the Issued Shares that Lender has requested to be registered. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the rights set

                                       6
<PAGE>

forth in this Section 5(c) shall not be available (i) after the fifth
anniversary of the IPO and (ii) if Lender is permitted, under applicable
securities laws (including Rule 144 or any successor rule promulgated under the
Act), to sell the Issued Shares for which Holder is seeking registration on an
unrestricted basis as to amount and method of sale in the four week period
immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporation's registration. The
expenses of any such registration hereunder shall be borne by the Corporation.

                           (ii) Right to Terminate Registration. The Corporation
shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it
under this Section 5(c) prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether
or not Lender has elected to include securities in such registration.

                           (iii) Underwriting Requirements. In connection with
any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Corporation's capital
stock, the Corporation shall not be required under this Section 5(c) to include
any of the Lender's securities in such underwriting unless it accepts the terms
of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Corporation and the underwriters
selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or
underwriters selected by the Corporation, and then only in such quantity as the
underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success
of the offering by the Corporation. If the total amount of securities, including
the Issued Shares together with shares held by other persons (such persons,
together with the Lender, the "Holders") with rights similar to those granted to
Lender hereunder (collectively, the "Registrable Securities") requested by
Lender to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold
other than by the Corporation that the underwriters determine in their sole
discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Corporation
shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such
securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in
their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the
securities so included to be apportioned as follows: first, to the Corporation;
second, to the selling Holders, on a pro rata basis based on the total number of
Registrable Securities held by such selling Holders or in such other proportions
as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling Holders; third, to any other
shareholder of the Corporation (other than a Holder on a pro rata basis). For
purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any
selling shareholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a
partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of
such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired
partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be
deemed to be a single "selling Holder," and any pro rata reduction with respect
to such "selling Holder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable
Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.

                  (k) S-3 Registration Rights. If Lender makes a written request
that the Corporation effect a registration on Form S-3 with respect to Issued
Shares that have been held by Lender for one year or more and which cannot be
sold without restrictions as to amount or method of sale pursuant to Rule 144 of
the Securities Act or if the Corporation is otherwise required to effect a
registration on Form S-3 the Corporation shall:

                                       7
<PAGE>

                           (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders;
and

                           (ii) use commercially reasonable best efforts to
effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such qualifications
and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the
sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders' Registrable
Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion
of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as
are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt
of such written notice from the Corporation, provided, however, that the
Corporation shall not be obligated to effect any such registration,
qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 5(k).

                                    (A) if Form S-3 is not available under
         applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for such offering by the
         Holders;

                                    (B) if the Holders, together with the
         holders of any other securities of the Corporation entitled to
         inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities
         and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public
         (net before deduction of underwriters' discounts or commissions) of
         less than $500,000;

                                    (C) if the Corporation shall furnish to the
         Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman
         of the Board of the Corporation stating that in the good faith judgment
         of a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, it would be
         detrimental to the Corporation and its shareholders for such Form S-3
         Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the
         Corporation shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3
         registration statement for a period of not more than one hundred twenty
         (120) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under
         this Section 5(d); provided, however, that the Corporation shall not
         utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period;

                                    (D) if the Corporation has, within the six
         (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected
         one registration on Form S-3 for the Holders; or

                                    (E) if the Corporation would be required to
         qualify to execute a general consent to service of process, unless the
         Corporation is already subject to service of process in such
         jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act.

                           (iii) Subject to the foregoing, the Corporation shall
file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other
securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of
the request or requests of the Holders.

                           (iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
(i) the Corporation shall have the right from time to time to require any Holder
of Registrable Securities not to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to any
Form S-3 or to suspend the effectiveness

                                       8
<PAGE>

thereof during the period starting with the date 30 days prior to the
Corporation's good faith estimate, as certified in writing by an executive
officer of the Corporation to the Holders of Registrable Securities, of the
proposed date of filing of a registration statement or a preliminary prospectus
supplement relating to an underwritten public offering of equity securities of
the Corporation for the account of the Corporation, and ending on the date 120
days following the delivery of such estimate and (ii) the Corporation shall be
entitled to require the Holders of Registrable Securities not to sell
Registrable Securities pursuant to any Form S-3 or to suspend the effectiveness
thereof (but not for a period exceeding 90 days) if the Corporation determines,
based on the opinion of legal counsel, that such offering or continued
effectiveness would interfere with any material financing, acquisition,
disposition, corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving
the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries because public disclosure thereof
would be required prior to the time such disclosure might otherwise be required.
In any event, the Corporation shall not be entitled to exercise the rights
granted to the Corporation pursuant to this Section 5(d)(iv) more than two times
in any one year period.

                           Upon the request of the Lender, the Corporation shall
cause to be delivered to the Lender a customary opinion of counsel and auditors
"cold comfort" letter in connection with the effectiveness of each registration
statement pursuant to which Lender sells securities.

                  (1) At the date of the final Prospectus relating to the
initial public offering of the Corporation's common stock, $.001 par value (the
"Prospectus"), the Prospectus will not contain a false or misleading statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements made in such Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, provided, however, that no forecast shall
be deemed to be misleading unless any such forecast was not based on reasonable
assumptions when made or was not prepared in good faith. Notwithstanding any
other provision herein, the Lender hereby expressly agrees that the Lender has
not relied on any registration statement or other document filed in connection
with the initial public offering of the Corporation's common shares in
connection with its decision to enter into this agreement.

         Section 6. Indemnification for Third Party claims.

                           (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Corporation
will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the
Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such
Holder's securities or such underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the
1934 Act, and each officer, director, agent, employee and partner of the
foregoing against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several)
to which they may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a
"Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto or any other document prepared by the Corporation incident
to such registration, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the
Corporation of the Act,

                                       9
<PAGE>

the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Act, or the 1934 Act or any state securities law, and the Corporation
will pay to each such indemnified person any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 6 shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Corporation (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Corporation be liable in any
such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent
that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished by such Holder, underwriter or
controlling person in writing expressly for use in such registration or for use
in direct connection with such registration.

                           (b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling
Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation, each of its directors,
each of its officers each person, if any, who controls the Corporation within
the meaning of the Act, any underwriter and any controlling person of any such
underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or
several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto)
arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and
only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for
use in connection with such registration, and each such Holder will pay to each
such indemnified party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this Section 6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                           (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
under this Subsection (l) of notice of the commencement of any action (including
any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of receipt of notice of any such
action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section
6 (to the extent of such prejudice), but the omission so to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it
may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. No
indemnifying party, in the defense of any claim or litigation, shall, except
with the consent of each indemnified party,

                                       10
<PAGE>

consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such
claim or litigation. Each indemnified party shall furnish such information
regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may
reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection
with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

                           (d) If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or
expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other
in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.

         Section 7. Legend. The Promissory Note and the Warrant shall bear the
legend substantially in the form described below.

                           "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE
                  NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS

                  AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR

                  SUCH REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND OTHER
                  APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED."

The Corporation may also cause to be imposed upon such certificates such other
legends as counsel to the Corporation shall determine to be required under the
provisions of any federal securities act or any state law.

                                   CONVERTIBLE
                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

$1,000,000                                                         March 9, 2000

                  TAKE TO AUCTION.COM INC., a Florida corporation (hereinafter
called the "Obligor"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to E Com
Ventures, Inc. (the "Holder") the principal sum of ONE MILLION DOLLARS
($1,000,000) (the "Principal Balance"). The Principal Balance shall be payable
on March 8, 2002. Interest on the Principal Balance shall accrue from the date
hereof at a rate of six percent (6% per annum) and shall be payable
semi-annually on the (9th) day of each September and March, commencing September
9, 2000 and continuing up to and including the Payment Date ("Payment Date").

                  All payments of principal and interest shall be in such coin
or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be
legal tender for payment of public and private debts, and shall be made at the
address of the Holder in accordance with Section 7 below.

                  1. Note. This Note is the "Promissory Note" issued pursuant to
a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of March 9, 2000 (the "Note
Purchase Agreement"), by and between the Obligor and the Holder, and is subject
to the terms and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement.

                  2. Conversion. During the Subscription Period (as defined
below), the Holder shall have the right to convert all, but not less than all,
of the Principal Amount hereof into shares of the Obligor's common stock, $.001
par value (the "Common Stock") at the conversion price per share equal to the
price to public specified on the cover page of the final prospectus of the
Company's Registration Statement (No. 333-91177) (the "Registration Statement")
relating to the initial public offering of the Common Stock, less the
underwriters' gross commissions (the "IPO Price") for one share of Common Stock,
upon surrender of this Note, at the principal office of the Company, accompanied
by written notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Schedule I, duly
executed by the Holder or its duly authorized attorney-in-fact (the process by
which the Holder may exercise its right to convert this Note into shares of
<PAGE>

Common Stock is defined as a "Conversion Election"). The shares of Common Stock
into which this Note converts shall be delivered to Holder or its order not more
than seven (7) days after the date the Conversion Election is complete. No
adjustments in respect of dividends or any other event will be made upon any
conversion. Accrued and unpaid interest hereon shall not be convertible into
Common Stock of the Company; however, the Holder shall be entitled to receive
any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of conversion and the conversion of
this Note will not extinguish that contractual right, which interest shall be
paid on the date that the shares of Common Stock into which this Note is
converted are delivered. For purposes of this Agreement, the Subscription Period
shall be the 14 days immediately following the effective date of the
Registration Statement. Obligor shall give Holder notice of such effective date
not more than 1 day after the declaration thereof. The Subscription Period shall
be extended one day for each day that such notice is not timely given by
Obligor.

                  3. Default. If any of the following events shall occur and be
continuing (each such event, an "Event of Default"):

                  (a) the Obligor fails to repay any installment of the
Principal Balance when due hereunder.

                  (b) the Obligor fails to make any installment of interest
within ten (10) days after the due date thereof.

                  (c) the Obligor violates any other covenant, agreement or
condition contained in this Note or the Note Purchase Agreement and such
violation remains uncured for ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written
notice from the Holder, which notice shall specify the conduct required to cure
such violation; or

                  (d) the Obligor shall be adjudicated insolvent, or fails to
pay or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature (whether
at stated maturity; upon acceleration or otherwise), makes a general assignment
for the benefit of creditors; or the Obligor shall apply for or consent to the
appointment of any receiver, custodian, trustee or similar officer for it or for
all or any substantial part of its property, or such receiver, custodian,
trustee or similar officer shall be appointed without the application or consent
of the Obligor; or the Obligor shall institute (by petition, application,
answer, consent or otherwise), or take any action to authorize the institution
of, any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of
debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding relating to the Obligor
under the laws of any jurisdiction; or any such proceeding shall be instituted
(by petition, application or otherwise) against the Obligor and such proceeding
shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after being instituted;

then, (i) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (c) of
this Section, the unpaid Principal Balance and accrued and unpaid interest shall
automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or further
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Obligor, and
(ii) upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, the Holder may, at its
option, by written notice to the Obligor

                                       2
<PAGE>

declare the entire unpaid Principal Balance, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon all such amounts shall
become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest,
notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or further notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Obligor. During the period
that an Event of Default shall exist, the Principal balance shall bear interest
at a rate of 12% per annum.

                  4. Prepayment; Redemption. At any time after the Subscription
Period, this Note may, at the option of the Obligor, be redeemed prior to
maturity as a whole or in part at the principal office of the Obligor, upon the
notice provided herein.

                  5. Waiver of Trial by Jury. THE HOLDER HEREBY AND THE OBLIGOR
BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS NOTE, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE
RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED
HEREOF, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE, COURSE OF
DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY.

                  6. No Oral Modification; Assignment. This Note cannot be
changed or modified other than pursuant to a written instrument signed by the
parties hereto. This Note cannot be assigned by the Obligor, in whole or in
part, unless the Holder shall consent in writing prior to such assignment.

                  7. Successors and Assigns. This Note shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Obligor, the Holder and their respective successors
and assigns.

                  8. Notice. Any notice or other communication required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by
certified mail, return receipt requested, or by Federal Express, Express Mail or
similar overnight delivery or courier service or delivered (in person or by
telecopy, telex or similar communications equipment) against receipt to the

furnished in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any
notice or other communication given by certified mail shall be deemed given at
the time of certification thereof, except for a notice changing a party's
address, which shall be deemed given at the time of receipt thereof. Any notice
given by other means permitted by this Section shall be deemed given at the time
of receipt thereof.

                  9. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall for all purposes be
construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida,
without regard to any conflict of law rule or principle that would give effect
to the laws of another jurisdiction.

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 a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant

certificates shall be delivered to Holder or its order not more than three (3)
business days after a Conforming Exercise. The Company shall pay any and all
documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the
issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant.

Warrant Stock or Other Securities may not be sold, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except as follows: (a) to a person who, in
the opinion of counsel to the Company, is a person to whom this Warrant or the
Warrant Shares or Other Securities may legally be transferred without

                  OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, UNLESS REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE
                  PROVISIONS OF THAT ACT OR DISPOSED OF PURSUANT TO RULE 144
                  UNDER THAT ACT OR UNLESS AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE
                  CORPORATION IS OBTAINED STATING THAT SUCH DISPOSITION IS IN

         6. Anti-Dilution Provisions.

any time, after the date hereof, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock by recapitalization, reclassification or split-up thereof, or if the
Company shall declare a stock dividend or distribute shares of Common Stock to
its stockholders, the number of Warrant Shares then subject to this Warrant
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately increased and the

any time combine, after the date hereof, the outstanding shares of Common Stock

subdivision or combination or if any adjustment is the result of a stock
dividend or distribution then the effective date for such adjustment based
thereon shall be the record date therefor.

                  (b) Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc.
In case of any reorganization of the Company or in case the Company shall
consolidate with or merge into another corporation or convey all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation, then, and in each such
case, the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant at any time after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall
be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise
of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the securities or property to which
the Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if the Holder had
exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto; in each such case, the terms
of this Warrant shall be applicable to the securities or property receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

                  (c) No Adjustment for Stock Issuances. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of its capital
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of
any class, either in connection with the direct sale (including in connection
with the Company's initial public offering) or upon the exercise of rights or
warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of
the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect
this Warrant, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to
the number of or exercise price of Warrant Shares then subject to this Warrant.

                  (d) No Effect on Corporate Actions. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the existence of this Warrant shall not affect in
any manner the right or power of the Company to approve or the Company to make,
authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations,
reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its
business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issuance by
the Company of debt securities, or preferred or preference stock that would rank
above the Warrant Shares subject to outstanding Warrants; (iv) the dissolution
or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or
any part of the assets or business of the Company or (vi) any other corporate
act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

                  (e) The Company shall give Holder notice of any adjustment
pursuant to this Section 6, not more than ten (10) days thereafter.

         7. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed given when telegraphed, delivered personally or within two days
after mailing when mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, to the Company at its principal office, or to the Holder at the
address set forth on the record books of the Company, or at such other address
of which the Company or the Holder has been advised by notice hereunder.

         8. Applicable Law. The Warrant is issued under and shall for all
purposes be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Florida, without giving effect to the choice of law rules thereof.

judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation applicable to any of them or any of
their respective properties or assets, or (iii) in breach of or default under

instrument (collectively, a "Contract").

body.

         (f) The Company has filed all necessary federal, state and foreign
income and franchise tax returns (the "Returns"), and has paid all taxes shown
as due thereon. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all
liability for taxes of the Company for the periods concerned thereby and there
is no tax deficiency that has been asserted against the Company that would have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

         (g) The Company owns all right, title and interest in and to any and
all technology, patents, trademarks and intellectual property in any way related

Affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D under the Act) has
directly, or through any agent, (i) sold, offered for sale, solicited offers to

Parties hereto, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and
delivery of the Purchased Shares to the Purchaser in the manner contemplated by

to the Company the following:

                  (i) Certificates representing the Purchaser's shares of its
Rule 144 Common Stock comprising the Purchase Price, pursuant to Paragraph 1
above; and

                  (ii) A duly executed copy of each of the Transaction
Agreements to which the Purchaser is a party.

         4.       Covenants of the Seller.
                  ------------------------

         The Seller covenants and agrees with the Purchaser that:

         (a) Registration of Transfer by the Purchaser. No transfer of the
Purchased Shares by the Purchaser (other than transfers pursuant to a Registered
Offering) shall be effective (and the Company shall not transfer on its books
any such shares) unless (i) the certificates representing such Purchased Shares
issued to the transferee shall bear the legends provided herein, if required by
such Section. In addition, no transfer of Purchased Shares shall be made by any
Purchaser unless such transfer is effected in connection with a Registered
Offering or is exempt from registration under Act, and the Company, should it so
request, has received a written legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to its
counsel that the proposed transfer is exempt from such registration and
otherwise complies with all applicable securities laws. No transfer of Purchased
Shares shall be effective unless the transferee agrees in writing to be subject
to the restrictions of this Section and Section 5.

         (b) Legend. In the event that any shares of Purchased Shares become
free of the rights and restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Purchaser
shall be entitled to receive promptly upon presentment to the Company of the
certificate or certificates evidencing the same, a new certificate or
certificates not bearing the restrictive legend provided for herein. In the
event that any shares of Purchased Shares are (i) transferred in connection with
a Registered Offering, or (ii) transferred pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and the Company has received a written
legal opinion, reasonably satisfactory to its counsel, as to the availability of
and compliance with such exemption and that such shares need not bear the
restrictive legend set forth herein, the Company shall issue a new certificate
or certificates representing such securities not bearing such legend.

         5. Legend. Each stock certificate representing shares of Purchased
Shares, including any shares upon subsequent transfer, shall bear the following
legend:

         THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN

                                      -5-

REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY BE OFFERED, PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED,

PROVISIONS OF THE ACT AND SUCH LAWS, OR IF AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS
AVAILABLE.

         6. Purchaser's Representations. The Purchaser represents and warrants
that:

         (a) The Purchaser understands that (i) the Common Stock have not been
registered under the Act or registered or qualified under applicable state
securities laws by reason of their issuance by the Company and the Stockholders,
as applicable, in a transaction exempt from the registration and qualification
requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and
(ii) the Common Stock may be transferred by the Purchaser only if a subsequent
disposition thereof is registered or qualified under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such registration or
qualification.

         (b) The Purchaser has not employed any broker or finder or similar
person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         (c) The Company has made available to the Purchaser or its
representatives all agreements, documents, records and books that the Purchaser
has requested relating to an investment in the Common Stock. The Purchaser has
had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, Persons acting
on behalf of the Company and the Stockholders concerning the terms and
conditions of this investment. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the risks and
merits of its investments in the Common Stock.

         (d) The Purchaser further understands that this Agreement is made with
the Purchaser in reliance in part upon the Purchaser's representations to the
Company contained in this Section.

         (e) As of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have the authorized,
issued and outstanding capitalization set forth in its financial statements
dated September 30, 1999 (the "Purchaser Financial Statement Date"), a copy of
which are attached as Appendix 6A hereto (the "Purchaser Financial Statements"),
except that the Purchaser has issued additional shares of common stock since the
Purchaser Financial Statement Date such that the number of shares of common
stock outstanding is now approximately 7,300,000, but not more than 7,400,000;
all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Purchaser is duly
authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and were not
issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights; there are no classes of
capital stock or securities of the Purchaser except those disclosed in the
Financial Statements; all of the shares of common stock of the Purchaser
representing Purchase Price will be validly issued and outstanding; the Seller

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

will be vested with good and marketable title to the Purchased Shares, free and
clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities and claims, security interests,
agreements, rights of third parties or restrictions on transferability ("Liens")
(other than those imposed by this Agreement and the Act and the securities or
"Blue Sky" laws of certain jurisdictions); except as disclosed in the Purchaser
Financial Statements, there are no (i) options warrants or other rights to
purchase, (ii) agreements or other obligations to issue or (iii) other rights to
convert any obligation into, or exchange any securities for, shares of capital
stock of or ownership interests (including preferred stock) in the Purchaser.
The Purchaser does not own, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock
or any other equity or long term debt securities or have any equity interest in
any firm, partnership, joint venture or other entity.

         (f) The Purchaser is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all
requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its
business as now conducted; copies of the current Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws of the Purchaser are attached as Exhibits 6B and 6C hereto. The
Purchaser is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good
standing in all other jurisdictions where the ownership or leasing of its
properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except
where the failure to be so filed would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a material adverse effect on the era affairs, management, business,
condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or results of operations of the
Purchaser.

         (g) The Purchaser has all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and the Purchaser Registration Rights
Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to assume the
Company Registration Rights Agreement from the Purchaser. This Agreement has
been executed and delivered, and, this Agreement and the Company Registration
Rights Agreement as assumed hereunder each constitutes the valid and legally
binding agreement of the Purchaser and the Purchaser, enforceable against the
Purchaser and the Purchaser and in accordance with its terms, except that (A)
the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity
and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be
brought and (B) any rights to indemnity or contribution thereunder may be
limited by federal and state securities laws and public policy considerations.

         (h) No consent, approval, authorization, order of, license, filing,
recording or registration with or exemption by any court or governmental agency
or body or third party is required for (i) the issuance and sale by the
Purchaser to the Seller of the shares of common stock representing the Purchase
Price, or (ii) the consummation by the Purchaser of the other transactions
contemplated hereby, except such as have been obtained and such as may be
required under state securities or "Blue Sky" laws in connection with the
purchase and resale of the Purchased Shares by the Purchaser. The Purchaser is
not (i) in violation of its Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, (ii) in breach
or violation of any statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation
applicable

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

to any of them or any of their respective properties or assets, or (iii) in
breach of or default under (nor has any event occurred which, with notice or
passage of time or both, would constitute a default under) or in violation of
any of the terms or provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement, note, lease, license, franchise agreement, permit, certificate,
contract or other agreement or instrument (collectively, a "Contract").

         (i) There is not pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser and/or
Purchaser, threatened, any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation to
which the Purchaser is a party, or to which the property or assets of the
Purchaser is subject, before or brought by any court, arbitrator or governmental
agency or body.

         (j) The Purchaser has filed all necessary federal, state and foreign
income and franchise tax returns (the "Returns"), and has paid all taxes shown
as due thereon. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all
liability for taxes of the Purchaser for the periods concerned thereby and there
is no tax deficiency that has been asserted against the Purchaser that would
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

         (k) The Purchaser Financial Statements present fairly in all material
respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the
Purchaser the dates and for the periods to which they relate and have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on
a consistent basis, except as otherwise stated therein. Reel and Swafford (the
"Independent Accountants") is an independent public accounting firm within the
meaning of the federal securities laws.

         (l) Since the Purchaser Financial Statement Date, except as disclosed
in filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, (i) the
Purchaser has not incurred any liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent,
or entered into or agreed to enter into any transactions or contracts (written
or oral) not in the ordinary course of business, which liabilities, obligations,
transactions or contracts would, individually or in the aggregate, be material
to the general affairs, management, business, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or results of operations of the Purchaser, (ii) the
Purchaser has not purchased any of its outstanding capital stock, nor declared,
paid or otherwise made any dividend or distribution of any kind on its capital
stock (other than with respect to any of such Subsidiaries, the purchase of, or
dividend or distribution on, capital stock owned by the Company), (iii) there
shall not have been any material change in the capital stock or long-term
indebtedness of the Purchaser and (iv) no event or circumstance has occurred
that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect
on the business or property of the Purchaser.

         (m) The Purchaser does not have any liability for any prohibited
transaction or funding deficiency or any complete or partial withdrawal
liability with respect to any pension, profit sharing or other plan which is
subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), to which the Purchaser makes or

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

ever has made a contribution and in which any employee of the Purchaser is or
has ever been a participant. With respect to such plans, the Purchaser is in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA.

         (n) The Purchaser (i) makes and keeps accurate books and records and
(ii) maintains internal accounting controls which provide reasonable assurance
that (A) transactions are executed in accordance with management's
authorization, (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of its financial statements and to maintain accountability for its assets, (C)
access to its assets is permitted only in accordance with management's
authorization and (D) the reported accountability for its assets is compared
with existing assets at reasonable intervals.

         (o) The Purchaser is not and will not be an "investment company" or
"promoter" or "principal underwriter" for an "investment company," as such terms
are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and
regulations thereunder.

          (p) Immediately after the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the fair value and present fair salable value of
the assets of the Purchaser will exceed the sum of its stated liabilities and
identified contingent liabilities; the Purchaser is not, and will not be, after
giving effect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) left with
unreasonably small capital with which to carry on its business as it is proposed
to be conducted, (b) unable to pay its debts (contingent or otherwise) as they
mature or (c) otherwise insolvent.

         (q) It is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery
of the common stock of the Purchaser representing the Purchaser Price being
transferred to the Seller in the manner contemplated by this Agreement to
register any of such common stock under the Act.

         (r) The Purchaser has not taken, nor will any of them take, directly or
indirectly, any action designed to, or that might be reasonably expected to,
cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the securities
of the Purchaser being transferred to the Seller hereunder as the Purchase
Price.

         (s) No filing made by the Purchaser with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission or state government or agency regulating
securities (including reports on Form 10-K or 10-Q) includes any statement that
is misleading in any material respect or omits any information that makes such
filing misleading in any material respect.

         7.       Indemnification and Contribution.
                  ---------------------------------

         (a) Indemnification by the Seller. The Seller agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless (i) the Purchaser; (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within
the meaning of

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Act) any such Person referred to in
clause (i) (any such Person referred to in this clause (ii), a "Controlling
Person"); and (iii) the respective officers, directors, managing directors,
stockholders, partners, employees, representatives, trustees, fiduciaries and
agents of any Person referred to in clause (i) or any such Controlling Person
(any such Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), a "Purchaser
Indemnified Person") against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several, to which such Purchaser Indemnified Person may become subject,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon (A) any inaccuracy in any of the
representations and warranties of the Seller contained herein and (B) the
failure of the Seller to perform its obligations hereunder and will reimburse
each such Purchaser Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal and other
expenses incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Person in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claims as such expenses are
incurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any claim
against Seller under this Agreement for breach of a representation or warranty
contained herein shall be made within two years after the date hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Seller's
obligations to indemnify the Purchaser shall be limited as follows: (i) the
Seller shall not be liable for any claims, damages or losses arising from any
breach of a representation or warranty as to the assets, financial condition or
securities of the Company unless the Seller has received indemnification under
the Purchase Agreement for such breach, and is able to recover the related
claim, damage or loss under such Purchase Agreement indemnification provisions,
it being understood that the Seller is under no obligation to seek such
indemnification if, in its sole discretion, it deems recovery unlikely or
unadvisable, (ii) the aggregate amount of the indemnification by Seller
hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the number of shares of the
Purchaser's common stock representing the Purchase Price multiplied by the
average trading price per share of such stock for the five business days
preceding and including the date of the Closing, and (iii) the Seller shall not
be obligation to indemnify the Purchaser until the aggregate amount of damages,
claims and losses exceeds $5,000.

         (b) Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless (i) the Seller; (ii) each Controlling Person of the Seller;
and (iii) the respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and
agents of the Seller and each of its Stockholders or any such Controlling Person
(any such Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), a "Company
Indemnified Person") against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several, to which such Company Indemnified Person may become subject, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any inaccuracy of any of such Purchaser's
representations and warranties contained herein and will reimburse the Seller
Indemnified Persons for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Seller Indemnified Persons in connection with investigating or defending any
such actions or claims as such expenses are incurred. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein; any claim against the Purchaser under this
Agreement for breach of a representation or warranty contained herein shall be
made within two years after the date hereof, except for claims resulting from
the willful misconduct or fraud of the Purchaser.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

         (c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after
receipt by a Purchaser Indemnified Person or a Company Indemnified Person (each
"Indemnified Person") of notice of the commencement of any action, such
Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an
indemnifying party under Section 7(a) or Section 7(b), as applicable, notify
such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission
so to notify the Indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that
it may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise than under Section 7(a) or
Section 7(b), as applicable, or to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as
approximate result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against
any Indemnified Person and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it shall elect within 30 days after receiving
any such notification, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified
Person, be counsel to the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such
Indemnified Person of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person under such
paragraph for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each
case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person, in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Person
unless (i) the Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that
representation of the Indemnified Person by counsel provided by the indemnifying
party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests
between the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person, including situations
in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified
Person that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have authorized in writing
the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Person at the expense of the
indemnifying party; or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume
the defense or retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person
within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the notice of commencement
of any action pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b); provided however, that the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or
proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising
out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more
than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Persons,
except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to their regular counsel,
is required in order to effectively defend against such action or proceeding or
as otherwise provided pursuant to this Section. No indemnifying party shall,
without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect the settlement or
compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any
pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

not the Indemnified Person is an actual or potential panty to such action or
claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an
unconditional release of the Indemnified Person from all liability arising out
of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any
indemnified Person.

         (d) The rights of the Seller and the Purchaser under this Section 7
shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller and the Purchaser,
respectively, with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any
misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or
agreement of the Seller or the Purchaser, respectively in this Agreement.

         8. Survival Clause. The respective representations, warranties,
agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in this
Agreement or made by or on behalf of them pursuant to this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or
on behalf of the any party hereto, any of its officers or directors, or any
controlling person referred to herein, (ii) delivery of and payment for the
Purchased Shares or the Purchase Price, or (iii) any sale, transfer or other
disposition of any Purchased Shares or common stock representing the Purchase
Price by either the Seller or the Purchaser.
