                  any subsequent Default Subordination Notice. The provisions of
                  this Section 10.01(d) shall not prevent any payment on or in
                  respect of the Subordinated Debt which would (in the absence
                  of any such Senior Debt Default) have been payable on any date
                  during a Blockage Period from being paid following the
                  termination of such Blockage Period.

                           (e) STANDSTILL. At any time that the holders of the
                  Notes and of the Subordinated Contingent Notes are not
                  permitted to receive payments on the Subordinated Debt
                  pursuant to either Section 10.01(c) or (d), the holders of the
                  Notes and of the Subordinated Contingent Notes, to the extent
                  they are otherwise entitled to do so, will not accelerate the
                  maturity of the Notes or Subordinated Contingent Notes or
                  pursue any other remedy to enforce payment thereof or
                  initiate, or join in the initiation of, any bankruptcy or
                  insolvency proceeding relative to the Company until the
                  earliest of (i) the date when the Senior Debt Default giving
                  rise to the blockage of payments on the Notes pursuant to
                  Section 10.01(c) or (d) has been cured or waived in writing,
                  (ii) the date of the repayment in full of the Senior Debt,
                  (iii) the date that is 180 days after a Senior Debt payment

                  default, (iv) the end of the Blockage Period applicable to
                  such Senior Debt Default and (v) subject to the Intercreditor
                  Agreement, the date on which the Senior Debt shall have been
                  declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity or any
                  holder of Senior Debt commences proceedings to collect any
                  Senior Debt or realize upon any material part of the
                  collateral for any Senior Debt (the "STANDSTILL PERIOD"). Upon
                  the termination of the Standstill Period, the holders of the
                  Notes and of the Subordinated Contingent Notes may exercise
                  all rights or remedies they may have in law or equity, subject
                  to the terms hereof and of the Intercreditor Agreement.

                           (f) EXERCISE OF REMEDIES. So long as the Senior Debt
                  is outstanding, if (i) a default pursuant to which the
                  Subordinated Debt may be accelerated shall have occurred and
                  is continuing and (ii) the remedies of the holders of the
                  Subordinated Debt shall not have been suspended under the
                  Intercreditor Agreement, upon 90 days prior written notice to
                  the Senior Lenders of its intention to do so, each holder of
                  the Subordinated Debt may elect to exercise any of its
                  remedies that may exist at law or in equity. Except as
                  otherwise provided in this Section 10(f), so long as the
                  Senior Debt is outstanding, the Subordinated Lenders shall not
                  take any action to enforce any remedies with respect to the
                  Subordinated Debt.

                           (g) TURNOVER. If any payment or distribution of any
                  character, whether in cash, securities or other property,
                  shall be received by any holder of Notes or Subordinated
                  Contingent Notes in contravention of any of the terms of this
                  Section 10.01 and before all the Senior Debt shall have been
                  paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be
                  received in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Senior
                  Debt at the time outstanding and shall forthwith be paid over
                  or delivered and transferred to the holders of Senior Debt.

                           (h) FILING CLAIMS. Each holder of the Notes and of
                  the Subordinated Contingent Notes SHALL duly and promptly take
                  such action as is reasonably necessary to file appropriate
                  claims or proofs of claim in any of the proceedings referred
                  to in Section 10.01(a) and to execute and deliver such other
                  instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably
                  necessary to prove or realize upon such claims and to have the
                  proceeds of such claims paid as provided in this Section
                  10.01. In the event any holder of the Notes or of the
                  Subordinated Contingent Notes shall not have made any such
                  filing on or prior to the date ten days before the expiration
                  of the time for such filing or shall not have timely executed
                  or delivered any such other instruments and taken such other
                  actions, each holder of Senior Debt, acting through an agent
                  or otherwise, is hereby authorized, as the agent and
                  attorney-in-fact for such holder of Notes or Subordinated
                  Contingent Notes for the specific and limited purpose set
                  forth in this paragraph, but shall have no obligation, to file
                  such proof of claim for or on behalf of such holder of the
                  Notes or of the Subordinated Contingent Notes, execute and
                  deliver such other instruments for or on behalf of such the
                  Notes or of the Subordinated Contingent Notes and take such
                  other action necessary under applicable law to collect
                  (subject to the provisions of Section 10.01(b)) any amounts
                  due in respect of such claim in such proceeding. Anything
                  contained in this paragraph notwithstanding, the right to vote
                  any claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt in
                  connection with any proceedings referred to in Section
                  10.01(a) is exclusively reserved to the holders of the Notes
                  and of the Subordinated Contingent Notes.

                           SECTION 10.02. Obligation of the Company
                  Unconditional. The provisions of this Article X are for the
                  purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of
                  Senior Debt on the one hand, and the holders of the Notes and
                  of the Subordinated Contingent Notes on the other hand,
                  against the Company and its property, and nothing herein shall
                  impair, as between the Company and the holders of the Notes
                  and of the Subordinated Contingent Notes, the obligation of
                  the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to
                  the holders thereof the Subordinated Debt in accordance with
                  the terms and the provisions of this Agreement and the Notes.
                  Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01(e), nothing
                  contained herein shall prevent the holders of the Notes or of
                  the Subordinated Contingent Notes from exercising all remedies
                  otherwise permitted by applicable law or under this Agreement
                  upon default under this Agreement or under the Notes
                  (including, without limitation, the right to demand payment
                  and sue for performance of the Agreement and of the Notes and
                  of the Subordinated Contingent Notes and to

                  accelerate the maturity of the Notes as provided in Article
                  IX) or of making demand for payment of the Subordinated
                  Contingent Notes, subject to the rights, if any, under this
                  Article X of holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property,
                  stock or obligations otherwise payable or deliverable by the
                  Company to the holders of the Notes or of the Subordinated
                  Contingent Notes.

                           SECTION 10.03. SUBROGATION. Upon payment in full of
                  the Senior Debt in cash, the holders of the Notes and of the
                  Subordinated Contingent Notes shall be subrogated to the
                  rights of the holders of the Senior Debt to receive payments
                  or distributions of assets of the Company made on the Senior
                  Debt until the Subordinated Debt shall be paid in full, and,
                  for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments to the
                  holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property, stock or
                  obligations to which the holders of the Notes and of the
                  Subordinated Contingent Notes would be entitled except for the
                  provisions of Section 10.01 above shall, as between the
                  Company, its creditors (other than the holders of the Senior
                  Debt) and the holders of the Notes and of the Subordinated
                  Contingent Notes, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to
                  or on account of the Senior Debt.

                           SECTION 10.04. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT. The
                  provisions of this Article X shall be deemed a continuing
                  offer to all holders of Senior Debt to act in reliance on such
                  provisions (but no such reliance shall be required to be
                  proven to receive the benefits hereof) and may be enforced by
                  such holders, and no right of any present or future holder of
                  any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as provided in this
                  Article X shall be prejudiced or impaired by any act or
                  failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or
                  failure to act by any such holder, or by any non-compliance by
                  the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
                  Agreement or the Notes or the Subordinated Contingent Notes.
                  Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing,
                  the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to
                  time, without the consent of or notice to the holders of the
                  Notes or of the Subordinated Contingent Notes, and without
                  impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this
                  Article X or the obligations hereunder of the holders of the
                  Notes or of the Subordinated Contingent Notes to the holders
                  of Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i)
                  change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the
                  time of payment of, or renew or alter, or waive defaults under
                  Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner
                  Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any
                  agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell,
                  exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged
                  or mortgaged to secure or otherwise securing Senior Debt;
                  (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment
                  or collection of Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain
                  from exercising any rights against the Company and any other
                  Person, including any guarantor or surety. The provisions of
                  this Article X shall continue to be effective, or be
                  reinstated as of the date immediately prior to payment in full
                  of the Senior Debt, as the case may be, if at any time
                  payment, or any part thereof, of any of Senior Debt is
                  rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the
                  holders of Senior Debt upon occurrence of an event described
                  in Section 10.01(a), or otherwise, all as though such payments
                  had not been made.

                  extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein),
                  the same rights, obligations and benefits as it would have if
                  it were a Purchaser hereunder and under the other Transaction
                  Document, or a holder of a Subordinated Contingent Note, as
                  the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Purchaser or
                  a holder of a Subordinated Contingent Note may sell or
                  otherwise grant participations in all or any part of the Notes
                  or Subordinated Contingent Notes, as applicable. The holder of
                  any such participation, if the participation agreement so
                  provides, shall have the same rights and benefits of a
                  Purchaser or a holder of a Subordinated Contingent Note
                  hereunder.

                  thereto; provided that, Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 10.03 shall

issue up to 7,420,590 of the Reserved Series A Shares (the "Contingent Shares")
pursuant to the Rights Agreement, and in accordance with the terms thereof, in
the event that the Company's use of the NOLs would be jeopardized by an
acquisition of the Company's Series A Common Stock;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits to be provided to the
Purchasers and the Company and its shareholders generally from the execution of
this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

         SECTION 1. ISSUANCE OF CONTINGENT SHARES.

                  The Purchasers hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:

                  (a) (i) The Company shall be permitted to issue Contingent
Shares as hereinafter provided in this Section 1, (ii) this Agreement shall
constitute the express consent of the Purchasers to all such issuances of
Contingent Shares and (iii) none of such issuances of Contingent Shares shall
constitute or be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement).

                  (b) The Company may issue up to an aggregate of 7,420,590
Contingent Shares to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 24 of
the Rights Agreement for so long as the term "Acquiring Person" is defined under
the Rights Agreement with reference to the same percentage thresholds and
otherwise to have substantially the same meaning as is given such term
thereunder by Amendment No. 1, except as such percentage thresholds may be
changed by applicable Internal Revenue Service regulation or ruling and except
as such definition may be modified pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof.

                  (c) In the event that any of the Purchasers elects, in
accordance with the provisions of Article 5(d) of the Company's Second Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to convert Warrant Shares
into shares of Series A Common Stock and, at that time, as a result of one or
more issuances of shares of Series A Common Stock in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, the Company lacks sufficient authorized and reserved shares
of Series A Common Stock for issuance into which to convert all Warrant Shares
were all the Warrants exercised in full, then the Purchaser desiring to make
such conversion agrees to convert such Warrant Shares into no greater number of
shares of available Series A Common Stock than such Purchaser's pro rata portion
thereof. For purposes of this subsection (c), a Purchaser's pro rata portion of
available shares of Series A Common Stock shall be the proportion that the
number of shares of Series A Common Stock held by such Purchaser, either
actually or potentially by exercise of the Warrant and conversion of the Warrant
Shares, bears to the total number of shares of Series A Common Stock held by all
the Purchasers (calculated on the same pro rata basis).

                                       2
<PAGE>

         SECTION 2. CONTINGENT NOTE. Simultaneously with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall issue and deliver to each of the
Purchasers a Subordinated Contingent Promissory Note (each a "Contingent Note")
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2, providing for the
payment of certain amounts to the Purchasers by the Company upon the occurrence
of certain events in connection with the election by the Purchasers to convert
into shares of Series A Common Stock the shares of Series B Common Stock and
Series C Common Stock issued to the Purchasers upon exercise of the Warrants.

         SECTION 3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

         The Company covenants to and agrees with the Purchaser as follows:

                  (a) As soon as practicable following the date of this
Agreement, the Company shall cause the Rights Agreement to be further amended so
as to provide that none of the holders of any shares of Series B Common Stock or
Series C Common Stock resulting from the exercise of the Warrants, either
individually or collectively, is an "Acquiring Person" as defined in the Rights
Agreement.

                  (b) The Company will:

                           (i) in connection with the next annual meeting of the
shareholders of the Company to be held after the date of this Agreement, but in
any event no later than October 31, 2003, furnish a copy of a proxy
statement/prospectus to each of the Company's shareholders for consideration at
such meeting, and file such other documents as the Securities and Exchange
Commission shall require, with respect to a reincorporation by merger of the
Company with and into a newly formed Delaware subsidiary such that the surviving
corporation becomes a Delaware corporation and the certificate of incorporation
of the surviving corporation provides, among other things, for (x) authorized
capital of the Company (or the successor of the Company or any other surviving
corporation in any reincorporation merger) in an amount sufficient to permit the
exercise of all of the Warrants, to permit the conversion of all shares of
capital stock issuable upon such exercises, to enable the Company to reserve
sufficient shares for the antidilution adjustments under the designations of
such stock, and to enable the Company to adjust, in accordance with the terms of
Section 3.1(c) of the Company's Restricted Stock Plan (the "Stock Plan"), Awards
(as defined in the Stock Plan) granted pursuant to the Stock Plan, and (y)
restrictions on the transfer of all outstanding capital stock by each holder
thereof in order to prevent transfers that jeopardize the Company's NOLs in
substantially the same manner as now provided in the Rights Agreement; provided
that the submission of such resolutions to the shareholders of the Company or
the effectiveness of any resolutions so adopted (A) may be conditioned upon
there being no greater number of dissenting shares than that number that the
Board of Directors determines in its judgment would be prudent for the Company
to redeem for cash and (B) shall be conditioned on the number of dissenting
shares in no way limiting the Company's use of the NOLs following such
reincorporation; provided, further, that the certificate of incorporation for
the surviving corporation may provide for a reduced number of authorized shares
of Series B Common Stock and Series C Common Stock, and a corresponding increase
in the conversion rate for the conversion of such Series B Common Stock and
Series C Common

                                       3
<PAGE>

Stock to Series A Common Stock, as long as either (q) such reduction, and
corresponding increase, would not cause the Purchasers to lose any more than a
de minimis number of shares upon exercise of the Warrants for Warrant Shares and
conversion of shares of Series B Common Stock or Series C Common Stock to shares
of Series A Common Stock by virtue of prohibitions on the issuance of fractional
shares contained in the surviving company's certificate of incorporation or
bylaws or contained in the Warrants, or (r) the surviving company's certificate
of incorporation and bylaws provide, and the Warrants are amended to provide,
that issuance of fractional shares is permitted; and

                           (ii) use its reasonable efforts to obtain the
necessary approval of the reincorporation by merger by the Company's
shareholders;

                  (c) The Company shall inform the Purchasers regularly of the
status of all reincorporation proceedings, as described in Section 3(b) above;

                  (d) If and when the Company is reincorporated as provided in
Section 3(b), including, without limitation, reincorporation with the transfer
restrictions described therein, the Company shall cause the Rights Agreement to
be terminated, either immediately following such reincorporation or concurrently
therewith, unless the terms of the series of stock into which the Series B
Common Stock and Series C Common Stock are converted in the reincorporation
merger contain antidilution adjustments with respect to the surviving company's
voting stock substantially similar to those contained in Section 2H of Exhibit 3
hereto; and

                  (e) Promptly following the execution of this Agreement by the
parties, the Company shall issue each of the Purchasers (upon surrender of such
Purchaser's Warrant) an amended and restated warrant in substitution for the
Warrants substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 3 in order to provide for
a representation by the Company regarding the Rights Agreement, to provide for
an adjustment in the exercise price thereof upon the issuance of the "Right
Certificates," as defined therein, or upon the institution of an exchange by the
Board of Directors pursuant to the Rights Agreement, to cross-reference the
terms of this Agreement, and otherwise containing terms substantially identical
to the original warrants.

         SECTION 4. TERMINATION.

                  (a) This Agreement shall terminate upon the occurrence of the
first to occur of any of the following events:

                           (i) the consent in writing of all the parties hereto;

                           (ii) the consummation of a reincorporation of the
                  Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(b)
                  hereof or any other increase in the authorized capital of the
                  Company sufficient to permit the exercise of all of the
                  Warrants, the conversion of all shares of capital stock
                  issuable upon such exercise, the reservation by the Company of
                  shares sufficient for such purpose, and the adjustment of
                  Awards granted pursuant to the Stock Plan;

                                       4
<PAGE>

                           (iii) any termination of the Rights Agreement,
                  provided no Contingent Shares and no Rights Certificates (as
                  defined in the Rights Agreement) shall have been issued or
                  shall become due for issuance by the tenth business day
                  following such date, in either case pursuant to the terms of
                  the Rights Agreement; and

                           (iv) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of this
                  Agreement.

                  (b) Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
4(a) above, the respective unfulfilled covenants and agreements of the parties
hereto shall terminate, provided that, unless such termination is pursuant to
Section 4(a)(ii) or (iii), each then outstanding Contingent Note shall continue
in full force and effect in accordance with its terms in the event that the
Company shall have issued any Contingent Shares in accordance with Section 1
hereof prior to such termination.

         SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                  (a) The Company hereby represents and warrants to the

                                RIGHTS AGREEMENT

                                 AMENDMENT NO. 1

         This Amendment No. 1 dated as of April 29, 2003 (the "Amendment")
amends the Rights Agreement dated as of August 11, 1995 (the "Rights
Agreement"), by and between Crown Crafts, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the
"Company"), and SunTrust Bank (successor by merger to Trust Company Bank) (the
"Rights Agent").

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized and
declared a dividend of one common share purchase right (a "Right") for each
Common Share of the Company outstanding at the close of business on August 22,
1995, each Right representing the right to purchase one Common Share, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Rights Agreement, as
amended hereby, and has further authorized and directed the issuance of one
Right with respect to each Common Share that shall become outstanding between
the Record Date and the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date
and the Final Expiration Date;

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 27 of the Rights Agreement the Company
may, subject to certain limitations, amend the Rights Agreement without the
approval of any holders of Rights to make any provisions with respect to the
Rights which the Company deems necessary or desirable;

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it
is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to effect certain
amendments to the Rights Agreement to discourage any Person from acquiring
Common Shares or additional Common Shares in a transaction that may be expected
to result in the loss to the Company of its net operating loss carryforwards and
the use of such net operating loss carryforwards to offset the taxable income of
the Company in current or future years; and

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Rights Agent wish to amend the Rights
Agreement in the manner set forth below;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree that the Rights Agreement
is amended as follows:

         1. Amendment.

                  (a) All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise
defined herein, shall have the meanings given them in the Rights Agreement, and
each reference in the Rights Agreement to "this Agreement," "hereof," "herein,"
"hereunder" or "hereby" and each other similar reference shall be deemed to
refer to the Rights Agreement as amended hereby. All references to the Rights
Agreement in any other agreement between or among any of the parties

<PAGE>

hereto relating to the transactions contemplated by the Rights Agreement shall
be deemed to refer to the Rights Agreement as amended hereby.

                  (b) Section 1(a) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended and

         "(a) "Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person (as such term is
         hereinafter defined) who or which, together with all Affiliates and
         Associates (as such terms are hereinafter defined) of such Person,
         shall be the Beneficial Owner (as such term is hereinafter defined) of
         5% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, but
         shall not include (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary (as such term is
         hereinafter defined) of the Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan of
         the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (iv) any entity holding
         Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan, or (v) any
         Person whose ownership (together with all Affiliates and Associates of
         such Person) of 5% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then
         outstanding will, in the sole discretion of the Company's Board of
         Directors, not jeopardize or endanger the availability to the Company
         of its net operating loss carryforwards to be used to offset its
         taxable income in such year or future years. The Persons described in
         clauses (i) through (v) above are referred to herein as "Exempt
         Persons." Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Person shall become an
         "Acquiring Person" as the result of an acquisition of Common Shares by
         the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding,
         increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such
         Person to 5% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then
         outstanding, provided that if a Person shall become the Beneficial
         Owner of 5% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then
         outstanding by reason of share purchases by the Company and shall,
         after such share purchases by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner
         of any additional Common Shares of the Company, then such Person shall
         be deemed to be an "Acquiring Person"; (ii) any Person who would
         otherwise qualify as an Acquiring Person as of the close of business on
         April 29, 2003 pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph
         (a) shall not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for any purpose of
         this Agreement on and after such date unless and until such Person,
         together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall be
         the Beneficial Owner of a percentage of Common Shares of the Company
         then outstanding in excess of the sum of 1% and the percentage of
         Common Shares of the Company Beneficially Owned by such Person and all
         Affiliates and Associates of such Person as of the close of business on
         April 29, 2003, provided that the foregoing exclusion shall cease to
         apply with respect to any Person at such time as such Person, together
         with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, ceases to
         Beneficially Own 5% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then
         outstanding; and (iii) if the Board of Directors of the Company
         determines in good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an
         "Acquiring Person," as defined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
         this paragraph (a), has become such inadvertently, and such Person
         divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of Common Shares
         so that such Person would no longer be an

                                       2
<PAGE>

         Acquiring Person as defined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
         this paragraph (a), then such Person shall not be deemed to be an
         Acquiring Person for any purposes of this Agreement."

                  (c) Section 1(b) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

         "(b) "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the respective meanings
         ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and
         Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
         "Exchange Act"), as in effect on the date of this Agreement, and to the
         extent not included within the foregoing clause of this paragraph (b),
         shall also include, with respect to any Person, any other Person whose
         Common Shares would be deemed constructively owned by such first Person
         pursuant to the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code
         of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any successor provision or
         replacement provision; provided, however, that no Exempt Person shall

         own" or have "beneficial ownership" of, any securities which such
         Person would be deemed to constructively own pursuant to Section 382 of
         the Code, or any successor provision or replacement provision."

deleting the first sentence thereof and substituting therefor the following:

         "Until the earlier of the Close of Business on (i) the tenth day after
         the Shares Acquisition Date or (ii) the tenth business day (or such
         later date as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors)
         after the date of the commencement by any Person (other than an Exempt
         Person) of, or of the first public announcement of the intention of any
         Person (other than an Exempt Person) to commence, a tender or exchange
         offer the consummation of which would result in any Person becoming the
         Beneficial Owner of Common Shares aggregating 5% or more of the then
         outstanding Common Shares (including any such date which is after the
         date of this Agreement and prior to the issuance of the Rights; the
         earlier of such dates being herein referred to as the "Distribution
         Date"), (x) the Rights will be evidenced (subject to the provisions of
         Section 3(b) hereof) by the certificates for Common Shares registered
         in the names of the holders thereof (which certificates shall also be
         deemed to be Right Certificates) and not by separate Right

         with the transfer of Common Shares."

         (or permit any Subsidiaries to take) any action if at the time such
         action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will

                          SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE
                                  COMMON SHARES

         On August 8, 1995, the Board of Directors of Crown Crafts, Inc. (the
"Company") declared a dividend of one common share purchase right (a "Right")
for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the
"Common Shares"), of the Company. The dividend is payable on August 22, 1995
(the "Record Date") to the shareholders of record on that date. Each Right
entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one Common Share at
a price of $86.50 per share (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment. The
description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement dated as
of August 11, 1995, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Rights Agreement
("Amendment No. 1") dated as of April 29, 2003 (as so amended, the "Rights
Agreement"), between the Company and SunTrust Bank (successor by merger to Trust
Company Bank), as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent").

         The purpose of the Rights, as amended by Amendment No. 1, is to protect
the Company's ability to carry forward its net operating losses ("NOLs") and,
thus, protect shareholder value. The Company has experienced substantial
operating losses in previous years. Under the Internal Revenue Code and rules
promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company can "carry forward"
these losses in certain circumstances to offset current and future earnings and
thus reduce its federal income tax liability (subject to certain requirements
and restrictions). The Company believes that it will be able to carry forward
several million dollars of NOLs and that these NOLs, therefore, constitute a
substantial asset of the Company. If the Company experiences an "Ownership
Change," as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, its ability to
use the NOLs could be substantially limited or lost altogether.

         Until the earlier to occur of (i) 10 days following a public
announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons, with
certain exceptions as set forth in the Rights Agreement, have acquired
beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (any such
person or group being referred to as an "Acquiring Person") or (ii) 10 business
days (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of
Directors prior to such time as any person or group of affiliated persons
becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of or announcement of an
intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which
would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of 5% or more of
the outstanding Common Shares (the earlier of such dates being called the
"Distribution Date"), the Rights will be evidenced, with respect to any of the
Common Share certificates outstanding as of the Record Date, by such Common
Share certificate with a copy of this Summary of Rights attached thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Person who would otherwise qualify as an
Acquiring Person as of the close of business on April 29, 2003, as described in
the immediately preceding sentence, will not qualify as an Acquiring Person
unless that Person Beneficially Owns in excess of the sum of 1% and that
Person's percentage Beneficial Ownership as of the close of business on April
29, 2003, provided that, once any Person qualifying under the immediately
preceding clause reduces its Beneficial Ownership to less than 5%, the foregoing
exclusion will thereafter not apply.

<PAGE>

         The Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date (or
earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the Rights will be transferred
with and only with the Common Shares. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier
redemption or expiration of the Rights), new Common Share certificates issued
after the Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of Common Shares will
contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference. Until the
Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the
surrender for transfer of any certificates for Common Shares outstanding as of
the Record Date, even without such notation or a copy of this Summary of Rights
being attached thereto, will also constitute the transfer of the Rights
associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificate. As soon as
practicable following the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing
the Rights ("Right Certificates") will be mailed to holders of record of the
Common Shares as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and such
separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights.

         The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights
will expire on August 22, 2005 (the "Final Expiration Date"), unless the Final
Expiration Date is extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or
exchanged by the Company, in each case, as described below.

         The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Common Shares or other
securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to
adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock
dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Common
Shares, (ii) upon the grant to holders of the Common Shares of certain rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price, or securities
convertible into Common Shares with a conversion price, less than the
then-current market price of the Common Shares or (iii) upon the distribution to
holders of the Common Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding
regular periodic cash dividends paid out of earnings or retained earnings or
dividends payable in Common Shares) or of subscription rights or warrants (other
than those referred to above).

         The number of outstanding Rights and the number of Common Shares
issuable upon exercise of each Right are also subject to adjustment in the event
of a stock split of the Common Shares or a stock dividend on the Common Shares
payable in Common Shares or subdivisions, consolidations or combinations of the
Common Shares occurring, in any such case, prior to the Distribution Date.

         In the event that the Company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination transaction or 50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning
power are sold after a person or group has become an Acquiring Person, proper
provision will be made so that each holder of a Right will thereafter have the
right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current exercise price
of the Right, that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company
which at the time of such transaction will have a market value of two times the
exercise price of the Right. In the event that any person or group of affiliated
or associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision shall be
made so that each holder of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the
Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will

                                       2
<PAGE>

thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise that number of Common Shares
having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.

         At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and
prior to the acquisition by such person or group of 50% or more of the
outstanding Common Shares, the Board of Directors of the Company may exchange
the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which will have
become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one Common Share per
Right (subject to adjustment).

         With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be
required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in
such Purchase Price.

         No fractional Common Shares will be issued (other than fractions which
are integral multiples of one Common Share, which may, at the election of the
Company, be evidenced by depositary receipts) and in lieu thereof, an adjustment
in cash will be made based on the market price of the Common Shares on the last
trading day prior to the date of exercise.

         Until the tenth day following a public announcement that a person or
group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired beneficial ownership of
5% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, the Board of Directors of the
Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per
Right (the "Redemption Price"). The redemption of the Rights may be made
effective at such time on such basis with such conditions as the Board of
Directors, in its sole discretion, may establish. Immediately upon any
redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and
the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.

         The terms of the Rights may be amended by the Board of Directors of the
Company without the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that from and
after such time as any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
becomes an Acquiring Person no such amendment may adversely affect the interests
of the holders of the Rights.

         Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no
rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right
to vote or to receive dividends.

         A copy of the Rights Agreement has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A. A
copy of Amendment No. 1 has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an Exhibit to Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on
Form 8-A. A copy of the Rights Agreement and Amendment No. 1 is available free
of charge from the Company. This summary description of the Rights does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Rights Agreement and Amendment No. 1, which is hereby incorporated herein by
reference.

         10, 2003 (the "Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement"), as such Warrant
         has been amended and restated as of the date hereof; and

                  (ii) either one or both of the following has occurred:

                           (x) as a result of one or more issuances of shares of
         Series A Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of that
         certain Reserved Shares Agreement dated as of April 29, 2003 by and
         among the Company and the Purchasers (or a predecessor in interest)
         (the "Reserved Shares Agreement"), the Company has an insufficient
         number of shares of Series A Stock then authorized but unissued and
         unreserved to permit the Company to issue to the Holder (and all other
         holders of Subordinated Contingent Promissory Notes issued in
         connection with the Reserved Shares Agreement) the aggregate number of
         shares of Series A Stock to which the Holder shall then be entitled
         upon such election to convert shares of Warrant Stock; or

                           (y) at any time or from time to time after the
         original issuance date of the Warrant Stock pursuant to the exercise of
         the Warrant (assuming no anti-dilution adjustment has been made under
         the Warrant for the event hereinafter described), either the Company
         has issued Right Certificates (as defined in the Rights Agreement dated
         as of August 11, 1995 between the Company and SunTrust Bank (successor
         by merger to Trust Company Bank), as amended (the "Rights Agreement")),
         to the record holders of Common Shares (as defined in the Rights
         Agreement) or the Company has elected to exchange Common Shares for all
         outstanding and exercisable Rights (as defined in the Rights Agreement)
         pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement (with respect to either
         of the foregoing subparagraphs (x) and (y), a "Rights Agreement
         Event").

         For the purposes hereof, in either or both such cases, the term
         "Shortfall" shall include, as applicable, (a) upon the occurrence of
         the events in subparagraph (x) above, any share deficit as described in
         subparagraph (x) calculated with respect to the Holder, as reduced by
         all prior such share deficits as to which there has previously occurred
         a Payment Event, and (b) upon the occurrence of one of the events in
         subparagraph (y) above, such number of shares of Series A Stock that
         the Holder would have been entitled to if such Holder had converted his
         shares of Warrant Stock to Series A Stock immediately prior to the
         issuance of the Rights Certificates or the date on which the Board of
         Directors effects an exchange and had thereby either (i) been issued
         the applicable Right Certificates and exercised the Rights evidenced by
         such Rights Certificates pursuant to the Rights Agreement, or (ii)
         participated in such Rights exchange pursuant to the Rights Agreement.

         Upon the occurrence of a Payment Event, the Company shall pay as soon
as practicable thereafter (and in no event later than twenty (20) days after the
surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Warrant Stock sought to
be converted in accordance with the provisions of Article 5(d)(v)(B) of the
Restated Articles as the same may be amended hereafter) to the order of the
Holder an amount equal to the product of the Shortfall to which such Payment

                                       2
<PAGE>

Event relates multiplied by the then current Market Value (as hereinafter
defined) per share of Series A Stock (the "Shortfall Payment"). For purposes
hereof, the term "Market Value" shall mean, with respect to each share of Series
A Stock, the average closing price per share, rounded to four decimal places, of
the Series A Stock as reported by the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board, or other
principal market on which the Series A Stock is traded if it is not at such time
listed on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board, including, without limitation, The New
York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq National Market or
The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, for each of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days
ending on (and including) the date of the Payment Event with respect to which
such determination is being made; provided, however, that if the Holder
concludes, in its sole judgment, that the value of a share of Series A Stock is
greater than such average closing price per share, then the Holder shall notify
the Company of such opinion within twenty (20) days of the Company's
notification of the Holder of the Payment Event, and in such event the per share
Market Value of the Series A Stock shall be (a) determined by agreement between
the Company and the Holder, or (b) if the Company and the Holder fail to agree,
determined jointly by an independent investment banking firm retained by the
Company and by an independent investment banking firm retained by the Holder,
either of which firms may be an independent investment banking firm regularly
retained by the Company, or (c) if the Company or the Holder shall fail so to
retain an independent investment banking firm within ten (10) business days of
the retention of such a firm by the Holder or the Company, as the case may be,
determined solely by the firm so retained, or (d) if the firms so retained by
the Company and by the Holder shall be unable to reach a joint determination
within fifteen (15) business days of the retention of the last firm so retained,
determined by another independent investment banking firm that is not a regular
investment banking firm of the Company chosen by the first two such firms. For
purposes of clauses (a) through (d) in the immediately preceding sentence, if,
but for the occurrence of a Rights Agreement Event, either (i) the Holder by
itself would own securities constituting or securities exercisable for or
convertible into a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company, or (ii)
the Holder, together with those of the other Purchasers (or their successors or
assigns) who, together with the Holder, would hold a majority of the voting
capital stock of the Company, if the Holder and such Purchasers were to elect
jointly and concurrently to convert all of the shares of Warrant Stock then held
by them into shares of Series A Stock by submitting their elections to convert
within a single period of ten (10) consecutive days or by each such Purchaser
indicating on its conversion election notice that it is acting jointly with the
other Purchasers, the Market Value per share of Series A Stock shall include a
proportionate share of the premium that such share, when taken together with all
the shares of Series A Stock to which the Holder alone or together with the
other Purchasers, as the case may be, would likely be entitled if all such
shares of Series A Stock were sold in a block in an arm's-length transaction,
assuming that the authorized capital of the Company included a sufficient number
of shares of Series A Stock to permit the Company to issue the aggregate number
of shares of Series A Stock to which the Holder alone or together with the other
Purchasers would then be entitled upon its, or their, election to convert all
its, or their, shares of Warrant Stock to Series A Stock. The Company shall pay
the expenses and fees of any and all investment banking firms retained for
purposes of determining the Market Value, whether such firms are selected by the
Company, the Holder, or the two initial investment banking firms.

         If any Shortfall Payment shall not be paid when due under this Note,
interest shall accrue on such overdue amount to the extent permitted by law at a
rate per annum equal to the prime rate of interest then utilized within Wachovia
Bank, National Association, from the date due to and including the date of
actual payment (after as well as before judgment), such interest to be

                                       3
<PAGE>

computed on a 365-day year, simple interest basis. All payments received
hereunder shall be applied first to unpaid interest, if any, and then to any
Shortfall Payment then outstanding.

         Any indulgence granted by the Holder to the Company from time to time
shall in no event be considered or otherwise construed as a waiver of any right
granted hereunder to the Holder or in any manner prohibit the Holder from
exercising any such right. All remedies conferred on the Holder by law or by
this Note or by any other instrument or agreement shall be cumulative and
non-exclusive. Such remedies may be exercised concurrently or consecutively at
the Holder's option.

         Time is of the essence of this Note, and, in the event this Note is
collected by law or through an attorney at law or under advice therefrom, the
Company agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys'
fees. It is agreed by the parties hereto that such attorneys' fees are a charge
other than interest.

         The Company hereby expressly waives presentment, demand for payment,
notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, diligence in collection and all
other notices or demands of every kind and nature whatsoever with respect to
this Note or the enforcement of the provisions hereof, and the Company hereby
consents that the time of payments or any part thereof due hereunder may be
extended by the Holder and assents to any substitution, exchange or release of
collateral permitted by the Holder, all without in any way whatsoever modifying,
altering, releasing, discharging, affecting or limiting the liability of the
Company hereunder.

         This Note shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors,
assigns and legal representatives.

         This Note shall be governed as to validity, interpretation,
construction, enforcement, effect and in all respects by the laws of the State
of New York.

         This Note may not be changed or terminated orally, but only by an
agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change
or termination is sought.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Note as of the 29th
day of April, 2003.

THIS WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN
EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT.

THIS WARRANT IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN RESERVED SHARES

THIS WARRANT, AND CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES THERETO, WHICH PROVIDES FOR CERTAIN
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE HOLDER HEREOF. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT WILL BE

                   SERIES [B][C] COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

                                                              NEW YORK, NEW YORK

         CROWN CRAFTS, INC., a Georgia corporation (the "COMPANY"), for value
received, hereby certifies that [NAME OF HOLDER] or its registered assigns is
entitled to purchase from the Company __________ duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's series [B][C]
non-voting common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "WARRANT STOCK"), each
share convertible, as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation of the Company, into shares of Series A Common Stock, at an
initial exercise price per share equal to the product of (a) the lesser of (i)
135% of the Market Price of the Original Common Stock for the twenty (20)

----------

     * Although dated as of July 23, 2001, this Warrant was actually issued
April 29, 2003 in substitution for a warrant issued on July 23, 2001 containing
substantially equivalent terms in order to amend certain provisions to reflect
the terms of the above referenced Reserved Shares Agreement.

                                                                               2

time or from time to time after the twentieth (20th) Business Day following
Original Issuance Date and prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the later
of (i) six (6) years from the Original Issuance Date and (ii) ninety (90) days
from receipt by the holder of this Warrant of the Expiration Notice (the
"EXPIRATION DATE"), all subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set
forth below in this Warrant. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not
otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 13.

         This Warrant is one of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the
"WARRANTS," such term to include all Warrants issued in substitution or exchange
therefor) issued in connection with and as consideration for (i) the Credit
Agreement dated as of July 23, 2001 (the "CREDIT AGREEMENT") among the Company,
Churchill Weavers, Inc., Hamco, Inc. and Crown Crafts Infant Products, Inc., as
borrowers, the Holders and Wachovia, as agent and (ii) the Subordinated Note and
Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of July 23, 2001 (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT")
among the Company and the Holders.

         1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

         1A. MANNER OF EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part, during normal business hours on any Business Day on
or after the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the Original Issuance Date
to and including the Expiration Date, by surrender of this Warrant, with the
form of subscription at the end hereof (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly
executed by such holder, to the Company at its principal office (or, if such
exercise shall be in connection with an underwritten public offering of shares
of Common Stock (or Other Securities) subject to this Warrant, at the location
at which the underwriters shall have agreed to accept delivery thereof),
accompanied by payment (except as otherwise provided in Section 1F), by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the
Company or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the
Company), in the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of
Original Common Stock (without giving effect to any adjustment therein)
designated in such form of subscription by (b) the applicable Initial Exercise
Price.

         1B. ADJUSTMENT TO NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. The number of duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock
which the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon each exercise
hereof shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Warrant Stock
which would otherwise (but for the provisions of Section 2) be issuable upon
such exercise, as designated by the holder hereof pursuant to Section 1A, by a
fraction of which (x) the numerator is the applicable Initial Exercise Price and
(y) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such
exercise. The "EXERCISE PRICE" shall initially be equal to the applicable
Initial Exercise Price, shall be adjusted and readjusted from time to time as
provided in Section 2 and, as so adjusted and readjusted, shall remain in effect
until a further adjustment or readjustment thereof is required by Section 2.

<PAGE>
                                                                               3

         1C. WHEN EXERCISE EFFECTIVE. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have been effected and the Exercise Price shall be determined
immediately prior to the close of business (unless such exercise shall be in
connection with an underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) subject to this Warrant, in which event concurrently with such
exercise) on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered
to the Company as provided in Section 1A, and at such time the person or persons
in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Warrant
Stock (or Other Securities) shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in
Section 1C shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record
thereof.

         1D. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES, ETC. Promptly after the exercise of
this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within three (3) Business
Days thereafter (unless such exercise shall be in connection with an
underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
subject to this Warrant, in which event concurrently with such exercise), the
Company at its expense shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to
the holder hereof or, subject to Section 8, as such holder may direct,

                  (a) a certificate or certificates for the number of duly
         authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of
         Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such holder shall be
         entitled upon such exercise, and

                  (b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or
         Warrants of like tenor, specifying in the aggregate on the face or
         faces thereof the number of shares of Original Common Stock equal to
         the number of such shares specified on the face of this Warrant (as
         adjusted pursuant to Section 2 herein) minus the number of such shares
         designated by the holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1A
         and any amount of shares which shall have been cancelled in payment or
         partial payment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 1F.

         1E. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon
exercise of this Warrant and no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any
exercise on account of any cash dividends (except as provided in Section 2B) on
the Warrant Stock or Other Securities issued upon such exercise. If any
fractional interest in a share of Warrant Stock would, except for the provisions
of the first sentence of this Section 1E, be deliverable upon the exercise of
this Warrant, the Company shall, in lieu of delivering the fractional share
therefor, pay to the holder exercising this Warrant an amount in cash equal to
the product of the Market Price then in effect and such fractional interest.

         1F. CASHLESS EXERCISE. As an alternative to or in combination with the
exercise of this Warrant by payment by wire transfer of immediately available
funds (or by certified or official bank check), as provided above in Section 1A,
the holder of this Warrant may exercise its right to purchase some or all of the
shares of Warrant Stock pursuant to this Warrant, on a net basis without the
exchange of any funds (a "CASHLESS EXERCISE"), such that the holder hereof

<PAGE>
                                                                               4

receives that number of shares of Warrant Stock subscribed to pursuant to this
Warrant less that number of shares of Warrant Stock, valued at Market Price, at
the time of exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price that would otherwise
have been paid by the holder of this Warrant for such shares of Warrant Stock.

         1G. NOTICE OF EXPIRATION. The Company shall give to the holder of this
Warrant at least ninety (90) days prior to July 23, 2007 but in any event no
more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to such date, written notice of
the expiration of this Warrant (the "EXPIRATION NOTICE").

         2. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION OR OTHER IMPAIRMENT OF RIGHTS;
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.

         2A. ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In case the Company,
at any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date, shall issue
or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common
Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 2C or 2D) without consideration or
for a consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 2E) less than the
Market Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue or
sale, then, and in each such case, subject to Section 2I, the Exercise Price
shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue or sale, to a price determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction,

                  (a) the numerator of which shall be equal to (i) the number of
         shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or
         sale plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
         consideration received by the Company for the total number of such
         Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would purchase at
         the Market Price then in effect, and

                  (b) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of
         shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale
         of Additional Shares of Common Stock,

provided that, for the purposes of this Section 2A, (x) immediately after any
Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to have been issued pursuant to
Section 2C or 2D, such Additional Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding, and
(y) treasury shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding. Any adjustment to the
Exercise Price shall cause simultaneously a proportional increase in the number
of shares of Original Common Stock that the holder hereof is entitled to
purchase pursuant to this Warrant.

         2B. EXTRAORDINARY DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. In case the Company at
any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date shall declare,
order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution (including, without
limitation, any distribution of other or additional stock or other securities or
property or Options by way of dividend or spin-off, reclassification,
recapitalization or similar corporate rearrangement and any redemption or
acquisition of any such

<PAGE>
                                                                               5

stock or Options on the Common Stock) other than a dividend described in Section
2D or payable in Additional Shares of Common Stock or in Options for Common
Stock, then the Company shall pay over to the holder of this Warrant, on the
date on which such dividend or other distribution is paid to the holders of
Common Stock, the securities and other property (including cash) which such
holder would have received if such holder had exercised this Warrant in full
immediately prior to the record date fixed in connection with such dividend or
other distribution or, in the absence of a record date, immediately prior to the
date of such payment or distribution.

         2C. TREATMENT OF OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. In case the
Company, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date,
shall issue, sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record date for the
determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive, any
Options or Convertible Securities, whether or not such Options or the right to
convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable,
then, and in each such case, the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common
Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, without regard to any
provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number)
issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible
Securities and Options therefor, issuable upon the conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities (or the exercise of such Options for Convertible
Securities and subsequent conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities
issued), shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of
the time of such issue, sale, grant or assumption or, in case such a record date
shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date,
provided, that such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to
have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to
Section 2E) of such shares would be less than the Market Price in effect on the
date of and immediately prior to such issue, sale, grant or assumption or
immediately prior to the close of business on such record date or, if the Common
Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of
ex-dividend trading, as the case may be, and provided, further, that in any such
case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued,

                  (a) if an adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon
         the fixing of a record date as referred to in the first sentence of
         this Section 2C, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be
         made as a result of the subsequent issue or sale of any Options or
         Convertible Securities for the purpose of which such record date was
         set;

                  (b) no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made
         upon the subsequent issue or sale of Additional Shares of Common Stock
         or Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or the
         conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

                  (c) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
         provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any change in the
         consideration payable to the Company, or change in the number of
         Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable,

<PAGE>
                                                                               6

         upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof (by change of rate or
         otherwise), the Exercise Price computed upon the original issue, sale,
         grant or assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the record date
         with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon,
         shall, upon any such change becoming effective, be recomputed to
         reflect such change insofar as it affects such Options, or the rights
         of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities, which are
         outstanding at such time;

                  (d) upon the expiration of any such Options or of the rights
         of conversion or exchange under any such Convertible Securities which
         shall not have been exercised (or upon purchase by the Company and
         cancellation or retirement of any such Options which shall not have
         been exercised or of any such Convertible Securities the rights of
         conversion or exchange under which shall not have been exercised), the
         Exercise Price computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or
         assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the record date with
         respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall,
         upon such expiration (or such cancellation or retirement, as the case
         may be), be recomputed as if:

                           (i) in the case of Options for Common Stock or in the
                  case of Convertible Securities, the only Additional Shares of
                  Common Stock issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold) were
                  the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued
                  or sold upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or
                  exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration
                  received therefor was (x) an amount equal to (A) the
                  consideration actually received by the Company for the issue,
                  sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not
                  exercised, plus (B) the consideration actually received by the
                  Company upon such exercise, minus (C) the consideration paid
                  by the Company for any purchase of such Options which were not
                  exercised, or (y) an amount equal to (A) the consideration
                  actually received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or
                  assumption of all such Convertible Securities which were
                  actually converted or exchanged, plus (B) the additional
                  consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon
                  such conversion or exchange, minus (C) the excess, if any, of
                  the consideration paid by the Company for any purchase of such
                  Convertible Securities, the rights of conversion or exchange
                  under which were not exercised, over an amount that would be
                  equal to the Fair Value of the Convertible Securities so
                  purchased if such Convertible Securities were not convertible
                  into or exchangeable for Additional Shares of Common Stock,
                  and

                           (ii) in the case of Options for Convertible
                  Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually
                  issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options were issued
                  at the time of the issue, sale, grant or assumption of such
                  Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the
                  Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have then been
                  issued was an amount equal to

<PAGE>
                                                                               7

                  (x) the consideration actually received by the Company for the
                  issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether
                  or not exercised, plus (y) the consideration deemed to have
                  been received by the Company (pursuant to Section 2E) upon the
                  issue or sale of the Convertible Securities with respect to
                  which such Options were actually exercised, minus (z) the
                  consideration paid by the Company for any purchase of such
                  Options which were not exercised; and

                  (e) no recomputation pursuant to subsection (c) or (d) above
         shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price then in effect
         by an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment thereof
         originally made in respect of the issue, sale, grant or assumption of
         such Options or Convertible Securities.

         2D. TREATMENT OF STOCK DIVIDENDS, STOCK SPLITS, ETC. In case the
Company, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date,
shall declare or pay any dividend or other distribution on any class or series
of securities of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock, or shall effect
a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a
dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each such case, the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such split or dividend shall, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such split or dividend be proportionately decreased. For
purposes of this Section 2D, Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed
to have been issued (a) in the case of any such dividend or other distribution,
immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination
of holders of any class or series of securities entitled to receive such
dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is taken, then immediately
prior to such payment or other distribution), or (b) in the case of any such
subdivision, at the close of business on the day immediately prior to the day
upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

         2E. COMPUTATION OF CONSIDERATION. For the purposes of this Warrant:

                  (a) The consideration for the issue or sale of any Additional
         Shares of Common Stock or for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of
         any Options or Convertible Securities, irrespective of the accounting
         treatment of such consideration,

                           (i) insofar as it consists of cash, shall be computed
                  as the amount of cash received by the Company, and insofar as
                  it consists of securities or other property, shall be computed
                  as of the date immediately preceding such issue, sale, grant
                  or assumption as the Fair Value of such consideration (or, if
                  such consideration is received for the issue or sale of
                  Additional Shares of Common Stock and the Market Price of such
                  securities is less than the Fair Value of such consideration,
                  then such consideration shall be valued at the Market Price of
                  such Additional Shares of Common Stock), in each case without
                  deducting any expenses paid or incurred by the Company, any
                  commissions or compensation paid or concessions or discounts
                  allowed to underwriters, dealers or others

<PAGE>
                                                                               8

                  performing similar services or any accrued interest or
                  dividends in connection with such issue or sale, and

                           (ii) in case Additional Shares of Common Stock are
                  issued or sold or Options or Convertible Securities are
                  issued, sold, granted or assumed together with other stock or
                  securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration
                  which covers both, shall be the proportion of such
                  consideration so received, computed as provided in clause (i)
                  above, allocable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock or
                  Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, all as
                  determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or the
                  Company.

                  (b) All Additional Shares of Common Stock, Options or
         Convertible Securities issued in payment of any dividend or other
         distribution on any class or series of stock of the Company and all
         Additional Shares of Common Stock issued to effect a subdivision of the
         outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of
         Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a
         dividend in Common Stock) shall be deemed to have been issued without
         consideration.

                  (c) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
         issued for consideration pursuant to Section 2C, relating to Options
         and Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to have been issued for a
         consideration per share determined by dividing

                           (i) the total amount, if any, received and receivable
                  by the Company as consideration for the issue, sale, grant or
                  assumption of the Options or Convertible Securities in
                  question, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
                  consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating
                  thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for
                  a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the
                  Company upon the exercise in full of such Options or the
                  conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in
                  the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise
                  of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion
                  or exchange of such Convertible Securities, in each case
                  computing such consideration as provided in the foregoing
                  subsection (a),

         by

                           (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as
                  set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard
                  to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment
                  of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or
                  the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

         2F. ADJUSTMENTS FOR COMBINATIONS, ETC. In case at any time or from time
to time after the Original Issuance Date, the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a
lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall,

<PAGE>
                                                                               9

concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be
proportionately increased.

         2G. DILUTION IN CASE OF OTHER SECURITIES. In case at any time or from
time to time after the Original Issuance Date, any Other Securities shall be
issued or sold or shall become subject to issue or sale upon the conversion or
exchange of any capital stock (or Other Securities) of the Company (or any
issuer of Other Securities or any other Person referred to in Section 2J) or to
subscription, purchase or other acquisition pursuant to any Options issued or
granted by the Company (or any such other issuer or Person) for a consideration
such as to dilute the exercise rights granted by this Warrant on a basis to
which the other provisions of this Section 2 do not apply, then, and in each
such case, the computations, adjustments and readjustments provided for in this
Warrant with respect to the Exercise Price shall be made as nearly as possible
in the manner so provided and applied to determine the amount of Other
Securities from time to time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, so as
to protect the holder of this Warrant against the effect of such dilution.

         2H. DILUTION IN CONNECTION WITH RIGHTS AGREEMENT. In case, at any time
or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date, either the Company issues
Right Certificates (as defined in the Rights Agreement) to the record holders of
Common Shares (as defined in the Rights Agreement) or the Company elects to
exchange all outstanding and exercisable Rights (as defined in the Rights
Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement, then, and in each such
case, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Right
Certificates or prior to such exchange shall, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such issuance or exchange, be proportionately decreased, such
that the Exercise Price will entitle the holder of this Warrant to obtain such
number of shares of Warrant Stock (in addition to the shares of Warrant Stock to
which such holder would otherwise be entitled) as would enable the holder, upon
conversion thereof, to receive that number of shares of Series A Common Stock as
such holder would have received had such holder exercised this Warrant as to one
share of Warrant Stock and converted such share of Warrant Stock to Series A
Common Stock immediately prior to the issuance of Rights Certificates or the
date on which the Board of Directors effects an exchange and had such holder
thereby either (i) been issued the applicable Right Certificates and exercised
the Rights evidenced by such Rights Certificates pursuant to the Rights Plan, or
(ii) participated in such Rights exchange; provided, that in any such case in
which Right Certificates are issued, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price
shall be made upon the subsequent issue or sale of Additional Shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise of such Right Certificates.

         2I. MINIMUM ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. If the amount of any
adjustment of the Exercise Price required hereunder would be less than 1% of the
Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise so required to
be made, such amount shall be carried forward and adjustment with respect
thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which,
together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward,
shall equal in the aggregate at least 1% of such Exercise Price.

<PAGE>
                                                                              10

         2J. CAPITAL REORGANIZATION. If there shall be any consolidation or
merger to which the Company is a party, other than a consolidation or a merger
in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in
any reclassification of, or change (other than within Section 2F or a change in
par value) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any sale or conveyance of
the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (any
such event being called a "CAPITAL REORGANIZATION"), then, effective upon the
effective date of such Capital Reorganization, the holder of this Warrant shall
have the right to purchase, upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount
of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) which such
holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after such Capital
Reorganization if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such
Capital Reorganization. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the Company shall not effect any Capital Reorganization unless prior
to the consummation thereof each corporation or entity (other than the Company)
which may be required to deliver any securities or other property upon the
exercise of Warrants shall assume, by written instrument delivered to each
holder of Warrants, the obligation to deliver to such holder such securities or
other property as to which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such
holder may be entitled, and such corporation or entity shall have similarly
delivered to the holder of this Warrant an opinion of counsel for such
corporation or entity, satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant, which opinion
shall state that all the outstanding Warrants shall thereafter continue in full
force and effect and shall be enforceable against such corporation or entity in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and address such other matters as
such holder may reasonably request. The provisions of this Section shall
similarly apply to successive Capital Reorganizations.

         2K. CERTAIN ISSUES EXCEPTED. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the
Exercise Price in the case of (i) the issuance of the Warrants; (ii) the
issuance of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; and
(iii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Crown Crafts, Inc.
Stock Plan of the Company dated July 23, 2001.

         2L. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Upon the occurrence of any event requiring an
adjustment of the Exercise Price, then and in each such case the Company shall
promptly deliver to the holder of this Warrant an Officer's Certificate stating
the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease,
if any, in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and
the facts upon which such calculation is based. Within ninety (90) days after
the end of each fiscal year in which any such adjustment shall have occurred, or
within thirty (30) days after any request therefor by the holder of this Warrant
stating that such holder contemplates the exercise of such Warrant, the Company
will obtain and deliver to the holder of this Warrant the opinion of its regular
independent auditors or another firm of independent public accountants of
recognized national standing selected by the Company's Board of Directors, which
opinion shall confirm the statements in the most recent Officer's Certificate
delivered under this Section 2L. It is understood and agreed that the
independent public accountants rendering any

<PAGE>
                                                                              11

such opinion shall be entitled expressly to assume in such opinion the accuracy
of any determination of fair value made by the Company's Board of Directors
pursuant to Section 2E.

         2M. OTHER NOTICES. In case at any time:

                  (a) the Company shall declare to the holders of Common Stock
         any dividend other than a regular periodic cash dividend or any
         periodic cash dividend in excess of 115% of the cash dividend for the
         comparable fiscal period in the immediately preceding fiscal year;

                  (b) the Company shall declare or pay any dividend upon Common
         Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other
         distribution (other than regular cash dividends) to the holders of
         Common Stock;

                  (c) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
         holders of Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or
         series or other rights;

                  (d) there shall be any capital reorganization or
         reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation
         or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of
         the property, business or assets of the Company to, another corporation
         or other entity;

                  (e) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
         liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any partial liquidation of
         the Company or distribution to holders of Common Stock;

                  (f) there shall be made any tender offer for any shares of
         capital stock of the Company; or

                  (g) there shall be any other Transaction;

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the holder of
this Warrant (i) at least fifteen (15) days prior to any event referred to in
subsection (a) or (b) above, at least thirty (30) days prior to any event
referred to in subsection (c), (d) or (e) above, and within five (5) days after
it has knowledge of any pending tender offer or other Transaction, written
notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record
shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for
determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation,
winding-up or Transaction or the date by which shareholders must tender shares
in any tender offer and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation,
winding-up or tender offer or Transaction known to the Company, at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable
approximation thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such
notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the
case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights,

<PAGE>
                                                                              12

the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and
such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also specify the
date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their
Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, winding-up, tender offer or Transaction, as the case may be. Such
notice shall also state that the action in question or the record date is
subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities
Act or to a favorable vote of security holders, if either is required.

         2N. CERTAIN EVENTS. If any event occurs as to which, in the good faith
judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, the other provisions of this
Warrant are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly
protect the exercise rights of the holders of the Warrants in accordance with
the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of
Directors of the Company shall appoint its regular independent auditors or
another firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing
which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis
consistent with such essential intent and principles, necessary to preserve,
without dilution, the rights of the holders of the Warrants. Upon receipt of
such opinion, the Board of Directors of the Company shall forthwith make the
adjustments described therein; provided, that no such adjustment shall have the
effect of increasing the Exercise Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this
Warrant. The Company may make such reductions in the Exercise Price as it deems
advisable, including any reductions necessary to ensure that any event treated
for Federal income tax purposes as a distribution of stock or stock rights not
be taxable to recipients.

         2O. PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN ACTIONS. The Company will not, by amendment
of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may
reasonably be requested by the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the
exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other
impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the
par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (b) will take all such action
as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and
clear of any Liens upon the exercise of all Warrants from time to time
outstanding, (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the
Exercise Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities
issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would exceed
the total number of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities then authorized
by the Company's certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of
issue upon such conversion, and (d) will not issue any capital stock of any
class or series which has the right to more than one vote per share or any
capital stock of any class or series which is preferred as to dividends or as to
the distribution of assets upon voluntary or

<PAGE>
                                                                              13

involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, unless the rights of the
holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage (or floating rate
related to market yields) of par value or stated value in respect of
participation in dividends and a fixed sum or percentage of par value or stated
value in any such distribution of assets.

         2P. NO ADJUSTMENT IN EXERCISE PRICE Any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made in
respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock, or the issuance,
sale, grant or assumption of any Options or Convertible Securities, unless the
consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 2E) for an Additional
Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than
the Market Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, any such
issue, sale, grant or assumption.

         3. STOCK TO BE RESERVED. Except as provided in the Reserved Shares
Agreement, the Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon the
exercise of this Warrant and conversion of the Warrant Stock issued upon
exercise hereof as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as
shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants and
conversion of all Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding
Warrants, and the Company will maintain at all times all other rights and
privileges sufficient to enable it to fulfill all its obligations hereunder. The
Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable
shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free from preemptive or similar rights on the part of the holders
of any shares of capital stock or securities of the Company or any other Person,
and free from all taxes, Liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof
(not including any income taxes payable by the holders of Warrants being
exercised in respect of gains thereon), and the Exercise Price will be credited
to the capital and surplus of the Company. The Company will take all such action
as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be so issued
without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any applicable
requirements of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and of any
domestic securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

         4. REGISTRATION OF COMMON STOCK. If any shares of Common Stock required
to be reserved for purposes of the exercise of Warrants or the conversion of
shares of Warrant Stock require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority under any Federal or State law (other than the Securities
Act, registration under which is governed by the Registration Rights Agreement),
before such shares may be issued upon the exercise thereof, the Company will, at
its expense and as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to cause such
shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. Shares of Common

         applicable state securities laws, as such laws are currently in effect.

                  (d) NO INTEGRATION OF ISSUE. Neither the Company nor any
         Person authorized or employed by the Company as agent, broker or
         otherwise in connection with the offering of the Warrants has offered

                  (a) INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company will not, and will
         not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any agreement containing any
         provision which would be violated or breached by the issuance of the
         Warrants or shares in connection therewith or by the performance by the
         Company or any Subsidiary of its obligations under this Warrant.

                  (b) ORGANIC DOCUMENTS. The Company shall not permit to occur
         any amendment, alteration or modification to its Organic Documents, as
         constituted on the Original Issuance Date, the effect of which would be
         to alter, impair or adversely affect either the rights and benefits of
         the holders or the duties and obligations of the Company under this
         Warrant.

                  (c) ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL RIGHTS, OPTIONS AND WARRANTS. The
         Company shall not issue any rights, options or warrants to subscribe
         for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock or convertible
         securities, whether or not the right to exercise such rights, options
         or warrants or to convert or exchange such convertible securities is
         immediately exercisable or is conditioned upon the passage of time, an
         occurrence or non-occurrence of some other event, or both.

                  (d) ANTITAKEOVER STATUTES. The Company shall take all action
         necessary to avoid the application of any "fair price," "moratorium,"
         "control share acquisition," "business combination," "shareholder
         protection" or similar antitakeover statute to the transactions
         contemplated by this Warrant.
