Frisby Technologies, Inc.
3195 Centre Park Boulevard
Winston-Salem, N.C. 27107
Attention: Greg Frisby, Chairman

Dear Greg:

                  Reference is made to that certain Letter of Intent, dated as
of the date hereof, between MUSI Investments S.A. ("MUSI") and Frisby
Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") relating to the proposed issuance of units,
each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant of the Company to
MUSI and certain other investors, according to the terms outlined on the term
sheet attached to such Letter of Intent (the "Equity LOI"). In connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Equity LOI, each of Greg Frisby, MUSI and
the Company wish to set forth certain agreements regarding the provision by MUSI
of a letter of credit to secure the Company's obligations to Bank of America,
N.A. ("BofA"), under the terms of that certain commercial loan agreement dated
February 20, 2000 (as modified or amended, the "BofA Facility") in the original
amount of $2,000,000.

         1.       Provision of Letter of Credit. Subject to the satisfaction of
                  the conditions set forth in this letter agreement, not later
                  than January 15, 2001, MUSI shall cause Banca Commericale
                  Italiana to issue an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit
                  (the "L/C") in the principal amount of $1,500,000 and naming
                  BofA as the beneficiary thereunder. The L/C will be in form
                  and substance mutually acceptable to both MUSI and BofA, and
                  their respective counsel. The L/C will have an expiration date
                  of not earlier than July 16, 2001.

         2.       Pay Down of BofA Facility. The Company shall provide MUSI with
                  evidence prior to issuance of the L/C that the Company has
                  repaid not less than $500,000 of the principal balance
                  outstanding under the BofA Facility, thereby reducing the
                  principal balance due thereunder to not more than $1,500,000.

         3.       Draw Down on L/C. The provision by MUSI of the L/C shall be
                  deemed a loan made by MUSI to the Company. Accordingly,
                  simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this
                  Agreement, the Company will execute the Convertible Promissory
                  Note (the "Convertible Note") in the form attached hereto as
                  Exhibit A, and deliver the same to _______ (the "Escrow
                  Agent") to be held in escrow. In the event BofA draws downs on
                  the L/C, the Escrow Agent will, upon receipt of evidence of
                  such draw down, release the Convertible Note to MUSI. If the
                  BofA draw certificate is for less than the full $1,500,000,
                  the Convertible Note

                  will be reduced without any further action of the parties to
                  an amount equal to the amount set forth in the draw
                  certificate submitted by BofA to the issuing bank under the
                  L/C.

         4.       Incurrence of Indebtedness; No Encumbrances. For so long as
                  the L/C remains in place, without the prior written consent of
                  MUSI, the Company will not (a) amend, modify, or otherwise
                  alter any of the terms of the BofA Facility, including without
                  limitation, increasing the principal balance due thereunder,
                  or change the interest rate or repayment terms of the BofA
                  Facility; (b) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money other
                  than the BofA Facility, or guarantee any such indebtedness or
                  sell any debt securities of the Company or guarantee any
                  obligations or debt securities of any other entity; (c)
                  create, incur or suffer to exist any encumbrance, including
                  any lien or security interest, with respect to any of its
                  property or assets, other than the security interest granted
                  to BofA under the BofA Facility; or (d) issue, grant, deliver,
                  sell, redeem or purchase any shares of the Company's capital
                  stock or any options or warrants with respect to any such
                  shares of the Company's capital stock other than as
                  contemplated by the Equity LOI.

         5.       Maintenance of Guaranty. Greg Frisby, in signing this Letter
                  Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that so long as the BofA
                  Facility remains in place, that he shall continue to provide
                  to BofA the guaranty provided by him pursuant to the terms of
                  the BofA Facility (the "Frisby Guaranty"). Greg Frisby further
                  agrees that in the event of a draw down of the L/C by BofA,
                  MUSI will become subrogated to the rights of BofA with respect
                  to the Frisby Guaranty.

         6.       Expenses. Upon issuance of the L/C, Frisby will reimburse MUSI
                  for all fees and expenses (including, but not limited to,
                  reasonable attorney and accountant fees and expenses relating
                  to the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement)
                  incurred by MUSI in connection with the transaction
                  contemplated by this L/C, up to a maximum of $20,000. In
                  addition to the foregoing, Frisby will reimburse MUSI for all
                  bank fees and expenses the issuing bank (and any confirming
                  bank) charges to MUSI in connection with the issuance of the
                  L/C or any draws under the L/C.

         7.       Governing Law. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by, and
                  construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
                  York.

                  FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FRISBY TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("Payor"), with offices at 3195 Centre Park Boulevard,
Winston-Salem, NC 27107, hereby promises to pay to MUSI INVESTMENTS S.A., a
Luxemburg societe anonyme ("Payee"), at such address as Payee may designate, in
lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, the
principal sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000).

                  The principal sum shall be payable on demand, together with
all accrued interest thereon. Interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof
shall accrue from the date hereof until the entire principal amount has been
paid at a variable rate of the prime rate as announced from time to time by Bank
of America N.A. plus one hundred and fifty basis points (1.50%), per annum. All
computation of interest hereunder shall be based on the actual number of days
elapsed over a 365-day year.

                  Upon consummation of the purchase and sale of units (the
"Units") (each such Unit representing the right to acquire one share of common
stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock) pursuant to the
terms of the Unit Purchase Agreement by and among the Payor, Payee and the other
investors party thereto, Payee shall have the option to elect to have all or a
portion of the outstanding principal amount hereof together with all accrued
interest thereon converted into Units. The number of Units issuable upon the
conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of
this Note together with all unaccrued interest thereon to be converted by the
price at which each Unit is sold to the investors pursuant to the terms of the
Unit Purchase Agreement.

                  Upon conversion, Payor shall deliver a certificate to Payee
for the number of Units issuable upon such conversion subject to surrender by
Payee of this Note and the furnishing of all appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents reasonably requested by Payor.

                  As security for the prompt payment in full of the principal
balance and accrued interest thereon under this Note and to secure performance
of Payor's obligations hereunder, Payor hereby grants to Payee a first priority
pledge and security interest in all of such Payor's Tangibles and Intangibles,
wherever located, now owned by or hereafter acquired by Payor or its successors
or assigns, or in which Payor or its successors or assigns now or hereafter has

interest and the products, proceeds and accession of the foregoing. For purposes
of this Note, (i) "Intangibles" shall be deemed to mean "accounts",
"instruments", "documents", "chattel paper", "drafts", "checks" and "general
intangibles" and each of them, as the foregoing terms are defined in the Uniform
Commercial Code of New York, as amended (the "UCC") and, without limitation,
shall include not only such thereof as arise out of the sale, lease, or other
disposition at any time and from time to time of inventory or other goods, but
also such thereof as arise out of, for, or in connection with, the furnishing of
services, and (ii) "Tangibles" shall be deemed to mean "inventory" and
"equipment" as defined in the UCC and all goods and tangible personal property
now owned or hereafter acquired by Payor. Payor's Tangibles and Intangibles and
any such substitute or additional collateral is referred to herein as the
"Collateral."

                  This Note creates a continuing security interest in the
Collateral and will (i) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of
the principal balance and accrued interest thereon under this Note; and (ii) be
binding upon Payor, its respective successors and assigns; and (iii) inure,
together with the rights and remedies of Payee hereunder, to the benefit of
Payee, together with its successors and assigns.

                  Payor covenants and agrees that, so long as any portion of the
principal balance and accrued interest thereon under this Note remains unpaid,
Payor will from time to time at its own expense, promptly execute and deliver
all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be
necessary or desirable, or that Payee may reasonably request, in order to
perfect, preserve and protect any security interest granted or purported to be
granted hereby or to enable Payee to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Payor agrees to execute and file such financing or
continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or
notices as may be necessary, or as Payee may reasonably request, in order to
perfect and preserve the security interests and other rights granted or
purported to be granted by Payor to Payee hereby.

                  No modification, rescission, waiver, forbearance, release or
amendment of any provision of this Note shall be made, except by a written
agreement duly executed by Payor and Payee.

                  This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York.

                  This Note shall bind and benefit the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, by its duly authorized
officer, has executed and delivered this Note this __ day of June, 2001.

                                                     FRISBY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                                                     By:/s/ Greg Frisby
                                                     Name:
                                                     Title:<PAGE>   1
                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.1

                                WARRANT AGREEMENT

                  THE WARRANT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), executed as of April
27, 2001, is effective as of December 29, 2000 and entered into by and between
Frisby Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the
investor party hereto named on the signature page hereof ("Buyer").

                                    Recitals:

                  A. As of the effective date hereof, Buyer has purchased
___________ units ("Units"), with each Unit consisting of one share of the
Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Company Common Stock"), and
a warrant to purchase one share of Company Common Stock.

                  B. Accordingly, the Company desires to grant to Buyer the
right to purchase ___________ shares of Company Common Stock on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Warrant Certificate (as
defined in Section 1). The right to purchase Company Common Stock granted
pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrant Certificate is referred to herein as
the "Warrant" and the shares of Company Common Stock and other securities
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant are referred to herein as the "Warrant
Shares."

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

                  SECTION 1. Warrant Certificate. The Company will issue and
deliver a certificate evidencing the Warrant upon execution and delivery of this
Agreement, which certificate will be substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the "Warrant Certificate"). The Warrant Certificate will be dated
the date of issuance by the Company.

                  SECTION 2. Execution of Warrant Certificate. Warrant
Certificates will be signed on behalf of the Company by an authorized officer.

                  SECTION 3. Registration in Warrant Register. The Company will
number and register Warrant Certificates in its register (the "Warrant
Register") when issued. The Company may deem and treat the registered holder
from time to time of the Warrant Certificates (the "Holder") as the owner
thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made
by anyone) for all purposes and will not be affected by any notice to the
contrary. The Warrant Certificate initially issuable hereunder will be
registered initially in the name of Buyer.

                  SECTION 4. Transfer. Except as expressly permitted by this
Agreement, neither this Agreement, the Warrant, the Warrant Certificate nor the
Warrant Shares may be transferred, assigned, sold or otherwise disposed of
without the prior written consent of the Company, except in conjunction with an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), and all applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from
registration under the Act and all applicable state securities laws. In the
absence of an effective registration under the Act, it

<PAGE>   2

shall be a condition to any such transfer, assignment, sale or other disposition
that the transferor first deliver to the Company a legal opinion from counsel,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, providing that
such transfer, assignment, sale or other disposition may be made pursuant to a
valid exemption under the Act and all applicable state securities laws and is
otherwise in compliance with the Act and all applicable state securities laws.
Until such time as the same have been registered under the Act, each Warrant
Certificate and each issued and outstanding Warrant Share will bear a legend
substantially to the effect set forth on the first page of the Warrant
Certificate.

                  SECTION 5. Exercise of Warrant.

                  (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder will
have the right, which may be exercised commencing on the date on which the form
of election to purchase annexed to the Warrant Certificate (the "Exercise
Notice") is delivered pursuant to Section 5(c), to receive from the Company the
number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares that the Holder may at the
time be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrant and payment of the
Exercise Price (as defined in Section 5(b)) then in effect for such Warrant
Shares. The right to exercise the Warrant will, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, expire at 5:00 p.m., Winston-Salem time, on the fifth
anniversary of the effective date hereof (the "Expiration Date"). The
unexercised portion of the Warrant as of the Expiration Date will become void
and all rights hereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement
will cease as of such time.

                  (b) The price at which the Warrant may be exercised (the
"Exercise Price") will be $6.00 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment
pursuant to the terms hereof.

                  (c) The Warrant may be exercised upon surrender to the Company
at its office designated for such purpose (as provided for in Section 11) of the
Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates to be exercised with the Exercise
Notice duly filled in and signed and payment to the Company of the Exercise
Price for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which the Warrant is then
exercised. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be made to the Company
in cash by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified
by the Company to the Holder.

                  (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 6, as promptly as
reasonably practicable (but in any event within 14 days) after the exercise of
the Warrant in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 5(c), the Company
will issue and cause to be delivered to the Holder (or, subject to Section 4,
upon the written order of the Holder, to such person or persons as the Holder
may designate with the prior written consent of the Company which will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), a certificate or certificates for the number
of full Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. The certificate or certificates for such
Warrant Shares will be deemed to have been issued and the Person (as defined in
Section 16) so named therein will be deemed to have become a holder of record of
such Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of the Warrant and payment
of the Exercise Price, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate
or certificates for Warrant Shares.

                  (e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Warrant will
be exercisable, at the election of the Holder, either in full or from time to
time in part and, in the event that a Warrant Certificate is exercised in part
at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a new Warrant Certificate covering the
Warrant Shares for which the Warrant remains exercisable will be issued,
executed and delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5(e) and
Section 2.

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

                  (f) All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of the
Warrant will be cancelled and disposed of by the Company. The Company will keep
copies of this Agreement and any notices given or received hereunder available
for inspection by the Holder during normal business hours at its principal
offices.

                  SECTION 6. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all
documentary stamp taxes and other similar governmental charges (excluding all
foreign, federal, state and local income, capital gain, franchise, property,
estate, inheritance, gift or similar taxes) in connection with the issuance or
delivery of the Warrant and in connection with the initial issuance or delivery
of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. The Company will not, however, be required to pay any tax
that may be payable in respect of any subsequent transfer of the Warrant or the
Warrant Shares or any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of Warrant
Shares in a name other than that in which the Warrant to which such issuance
relates were registered, and, if any such tax would otherwise be payable by the
Company, no such issuance or delivery will be made unless and until the Person
requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or
it is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that any such
tax has been paid.

                  SECTION 7. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. If a
mutilated Warrant Certificate is surrendered to the Company, or if the Holder of
a Warrant Certificate claims and submits an affidavit or other evidence
satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the Warrant Certificate has been
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company will issue a replacement
Warrant Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by the Company,
such Holder shall provide an indemnity bond, or other form of indemnity (which
may, if accepted by the Company, include an unsecured written agreement to
indemnify the Company), sufficient in the judgment of the Company to protect the
Company from any loss that it may suffer if a Warrant Certificate is replaced.

                  SECTION 8. Reservation of Warrant Shares.

                  (a) The Company will at all times reserve and keep available
out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Company Common Stock or its
authorized and issued Company Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose
of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise
of the Warrant, the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock which may
then be deliverable upon the exercise in full of the Warrant.

                  (b) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares and other
capital stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant will, upon payment of the
Exercise Price therefor and issue thereof, be validly authorized and issued,
fully paid, nonassessable and free, subject to Section 6, from all taxes, liens,
charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof, except that
such Warrant Shares will be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 9. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Warrant Number.

                  (a) Initial Number of Warrant Shares. The number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be ___________ subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in, or
as otherwise provided in, this Section 9.

                  (b) Adjustment for Changes in Capital Stock. If the Company:

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

                           (i) makes a distribution on its Company Common Stock
in shares of its Company Common Stock or in shares of its capital stock other
than Company Common Stock;

                           (ii) subdivides or reclassifies its outstanding
shares of Company Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

                           (iii) combines or reclassifies its outstanding shares
of Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or

                           (iv) issues by reclassification of its Company Common
Stock any shares of its capital stock (other than reclassifications arising
solely as a result of a change in the par value of the Company Common Stock);

then the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant
immediately prior to such action will be proportionately adjusted so that the
Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised may receive the aggregate number and
kind of shares of capital stock of the Company which such Holder would have
owned immediately following such action if such Warrant had been exercised
immediately prior to such action.

                  (c) Effective Date of Adjustment for Changes in Capital Stock.
The adjustment will become effective immediately after the record date with
respect to any of the actions described in Section 9(b).

                  (d) Successive Adjustments for Changes in Capital Stock; No
Conflict With Adjustments for Other Distributions. Adjustments for changes in
capital stock described in Section 9(b) will be made successively whenever any
such event occurs. If the occurrence of any event listed above results in an
adjustment under Section 9(f), no further adjustment will be made under Section
9(b).

                  (e) Reserved.

                  (f) Adjustment for Other Distributions. If the Company
distributes to all holders of Company Common Stock (i) any evidences of
indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any assets of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries (including distributions of cash on Company
Common Stock), or (iii) any rights, options or warrants to acquire any of the
foregoing or to acquire any other securities of the Company, the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant will be adjusted in
accordance with the formula:

                                    W'  =   W x  M
                                                ---
                                               M - F
                  where:
                  W'       =        the adjusted number of Warrant Shares.
                  W        =        the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
                                    the exercise of the Warrant immediately
                                    prior to the record date for such event.
                  M        =        the fair market value (as determined in
                                    the good faith judgment of the Board of
                                    Directors of the Company) of all issued and
                                    outstanding shares of the Company capital
                                    stock (immediately prior to such
                                    distribution).
                  F        =        the fair market value (as determined in
                                    the good faith judgment of the Board of
                                    Directors of the Company) on the record date
                                    for such event

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

                                    of all of the shares, the indebtedness,
                                    assets, rights, options or warrants so
                                    distributable.

                  (g) Successive Adjustments for Other Distributions;
Re-adjustment of Fair Market Value under Certain Circumstances. The adjustment
described in Section 9(f) will be made successively whenever any such
distribution is made and will become effective immediately after the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution. If
an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 9(f) as a result of the issuance of
rights, options or warrants and at the end of the period during which any such
rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all such rights, options or
warrants shall have been exercised, the adjusted number of Warrant Shares will
be immediately readjusted as if "F" in the above formula was the fair market
value on the record date of the indebtedness or assets actually distributed upon
exercise of such rights, options or warrants.

                  Section 9(f) does not apply to any transaction described in
Section 9(b).

                  (h) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Upon each adjustment to the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant pursuant to
this Section 9, the Exercise Price will be adjusted so that it is equal to the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the
denominator of which is the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise
of the Warrant immediately after such adjustment; provided, that in no event
shall the Exercise Price be less than the then current par value of the Common
Stock.

                  (i) When No Adjustment Required. If an adjustment is made upon
the establishment of a record date for a distribution subject to Sections 9(b)
or 9(f) and such distribution is subsequently cancelled, the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant and Exercise Price then in
effect will be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors
determines to cancel such distribution, to that which would have been in effect
if such record date had not been fixed.

                  (j) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant
Shares or the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Company will provide the notices
required by Section 10.

                  (k) Other Dilutive Events. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 9, no adjustment to the Exercise Price and
the number of Warrant Shares will be made in connection with the issuance of
additional securities by the Company for incremental equity capital.

                  SECTION 10. Notices to Warrant Holders.

                  (a) Promptly (but in no event more than ten days) after any
adjustment pursuant to Section 9, the Company will (i) cause to be filed with
the Company a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the Exercise
Price after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are based, and (ii) cause
to be given to the Holder at its address appearing on the Warrant Register
written notice of such adjustments. Where appropriate, such notice may be given
in advance and included as a part of the notice required to be mailed under the
other provisions of this Section 10.

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

                  (b) In the event (i) the Company authorizes the distribution
to all holders of shares of Company Common Stock of assets, including cash,
evidences of its indebtedness, or other securities; (ii) of any consolidation or
merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any
stockholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance or transfer of all
or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, or of any
reclassification or other change of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination); or (iii) the Company proposes to take any other action that would
require an adjustment to the Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price pursuant to
Section 9, then, in any such case, the Company will cause to be given to each
Holder at its address appearing on the Warrant Register, at least ten days prior
to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, or the date of the event in
the case of events for which there is no record date, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 11, a written notice with respect to any such action or
event. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 10 or any defect
therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action or event.

                  (c) Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant
Certificate will be construed as conferring upon the Holder (prior to the
exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) the
right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholder in respect of
the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any
other matter, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company; provided,
however, that nothing in the foregoing provision is intended to detract from any
rights explicitly granted to any Holder hereunder.

                  SECTION 11. Notices to the Company and Warrant Holders. All
notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder will be
made by hand delivery, first-class mail, telex or telecopier (with telephone
confirmation of delivery thereof), or overnight air courier guaranteeing next
day delivery as provided in Schedule 1 hereto.

                  All such notices and communications will be deemed to have
been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five
business days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed;
when answered back if telexed; when receipt acknowledged, if telecopied; and the
next business day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air
courier guaranteeing next day delivery. The parties may change the addresses to
which notices are to be given by giving five days' prior written notice of such
change in accordance herewith.

                  SECTION 12. Certain Supplements and Amendments. The Company
may from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of
the Holder in order to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any
provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provision herein, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or
questions arising hereunder which the Company may deem necessary or desirable;
provided that any such supplement or amendment will not adversely affect the
interests of the Holder.

                  SECTION 13. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of
this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company will bind and inure to the
benefit of its respective successors and assigns hereunder.

                  SECTION 14. Termination. This Agreement will terminate upon
the earlier to occur of the Expiration Date and the date on which the Warrant
shall have been exercised in full pursuant to this Agreement.

                  SECTION 15. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by

regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

                  SECTION 16. Benefits of this Agreement. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will be
construed to give to any individual, corporation (including any non-profit
corporation), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, estate, trust or association (each a "Person") other than the Company
and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Agreement; but this Agreement will be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company and the Holder.

                  SECTION 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
two counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an

                           FORM OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO
DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH
SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A WARRANT
AGREEMENT EXECUTED AS OF APRIL 27, 2001 AND EFFECTIVE AS OF DECEMBER 29, 2000
BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES AND THE BUYER REFERRED TO THEREIN. A COPY
OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE
HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.

THE CORPORATION WILL FURNISH WITHOUT CHARGE TO EACH STOCKHOLDER WHO SO REQUESTS

No.  W-8                                                   [___________ Shares]

                            FRISBY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                  The Warrant Certificate certifies that ____________________,
or her or its registered assigns, is the registered holder of a warrant (the
"Warrant") to purchase the number of shares of common stock, par value $.001 per
share (the "Company Common Stock"), of Frisby Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), set forth above ("Warrant Shares") at the initial
exercise price (the "Exercise Price") equal to $6.00 per Warrant Share, payable
in lawful money of the United States of America, upon surrender of the Warrant
Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price at the office of the Company
designated for such purpose, but only subject to the conditions set forth herein
and in the Warrant Agreement referred to hereinafter. The Exercise Price and
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, as set forth in the Warrant
Agreement. The Warrant is exercisable at any time prior to the Expiration Date
(as defined in the Warrant Agreement).

<PAGE>   11

                  The Warrant evidenced by this Warrant Certificate is issued
pursuant to a Warrant Agreement executed as of April 27, 2001 and effective as
of December 29, 2000 (the "Warrant Agreement") duly executed and delivered by
the Company, which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and
made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of
the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company and the holders (the words "holders" or "holder" meaning the
registered holders or registered holder) of the Warrant. A copy of the Warrant
Agreement may be obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the
Company. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning
ascribed thereto in the Warrant Agreement. In the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between the terms of the Warrant Certificate and the Warrant
Agreement, the Warrant Agreement will govern.

                  The holder of the Warrant evidenced by the Warrant Certificate
may exercise such Warrant under and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Warrant Agreement by surrendering the Warrant Certificate, with the form of
election to purchase set forth hereon (and by this reference made a part hereof)
properly completed and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price in
cash by wire transfer in immediately available funds. In the event that the
number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is exercised is less than the
maximum number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is exercisable, the
Company will issue to the holder hereof (or, if permitted, its registered
assignee) a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant Shares.

                  The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of
certain events the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant and the Exercise Price may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted.

                  Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the office of the
Company by the registered holder thereof in person or by legal representative or
attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject
to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any
service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like
tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrant Shares.

                  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement,
upon due presentation for registration of transfer of the Warrant Certificate at
the office of the Company a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of
like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrant Shares will
be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for the Warrant Certificate, subject
to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for
any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

                  The Company may deem and treat the registered holder(s)
thereof as the absolute owner(s) of the Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any
notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose
of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all
other purposes, and the Company will not be affected by any notice to the
contrary. Neither the Warrant nor the Warrant Certificate entitles any holder
hereof to any rights of a stockholder of the Company.
