                                     EXHIBIT

                               First Amendment to
                     Common Stock Purchase Warrant Agreement

                  THIS FIRST  AMENDMENT  TO THE COMMON  STOCK  PURCHASE  WARRANT
AGREEMENT  is  dated  as of the  22nd day of  November,  1999 by and  among  The
Translation  Group,  Ltd., a Delaware  corporation (the "Company"),  Werbel-Roth
Securities,  Inc.  (the  "Underwriter")  and  American  Stock  Transfer  & Trust
Company, as warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent").

                                   WITNESSETH:

                  WHEREAS,  the  Company,  Underwriter  and  Warrant  Agent  are
         parties  to a  Common  Stock  Purchase  Warrant  Agreement  dated as of
         December, 1996 (the "Agreement"); and

                  WHEREAS, the Company,  Underwriter and Warrant Agent desire to
         amend the Agreement to revise the warrant expiration date provisions as
         described herein.

                  NOW  THEREFORE,  the parties  hereto,  intending to be legally
         bound,  hereby  agree that the  Agreement  shall be amended so that the
         definition of "Warrant  Expiration  Date"  contained in Section 1(c) of
         the Agreement shall be revised to read in its entirety as follows:

                  "'Warrant Expiration Date' shall mean 5:00 p.m. (New
                  York City time) on July 2,  2000,  or if such a date
                  shall in the State of New York be a holiday or a day
                  on which banks are  authorized  to close,  then 5:00
                  p.m. (New York City time) on the next  following day
                  which in the State of New York is not a  holiday  on
                  which  banks  are   authorized   to  close.   Unless
                  exercised during the Warrant  Exercise  Period,  the
                  Warrants will automatically expire. The Warrants may
                  be called for  redemption  and the  expiration  date
                  therefor  accelerated,  on the terms and  conditions
                  set  forth  in  sections   4(b)  and  4(c)  of  this
                  Agreement.  If so  called  for  redemption,  Warrant
                  Certificate  holders shall have a period of at least
                  thirty  (30) days after the date of the call  notice
                  within  which to  exercise  the  Warrants.  However,
                  Warrant   Certificate   holders   will  receive  the
                  redemption  price  only  if  such  certificates  are
                  surrendered to the Corporate  Office (defined below)
                  within the redemption period."

                  IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  each of the parties hereto have executed
this Amendment or caused this Amendment to be duly executed on its behalf by its
officer thereunto duly authorized, as of the day and year first above written.
