$ 2,303,577.19                                             Stamford, Connecticut



FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  the undersigned Jeff J. White with an address at 19 Foxwood
Road,  Kings  Point,  New  York  11024  hereby  (the  "Maker")  irrevocably  and
unconditionally  promises  to pay to the order of  Warrantech  Corporation  (the
"Holder")  located at 300 Atlantic  Street,  Stamford,  Connecticut  06901,  the
principal  amount of Two Million  Three  Hundred  Three  Thousand  Five  Hundred
Seventy-Seven Dollars and Nineteen Cents ($2,303,577.19), together with interest
on the unpaid principal balance outstanding hereunder at the rate of six percent
(6%) per annum,  compounded annually,  calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
and actual days elapsed.

Only  interest  shall be  payable  hereunder  until  July 5, 2001 at which  time
repayment of the entire  principal  amount of Two Million  Three  Hundred  Three
Thousand Five Hundred  Seventy-Seven  Dollars and Nineteen Cents ($2,303,577.19)
shall be due and payable.  Accrued interest shall be payable annually in arrears
on July 5,  1999;  July 5,  2000;  and July 5,  2001,  at which  time the entire
principal amount is also due. Interest shall accrue from day to day and shall be
calculated on the actual number of days lapsed.

This  Note is  secured  by Eight  Hundred  Fifty  Seven  Thousand,  One  Hundred
Forty-Five  (857,145)  shares  of  common  stock  of  Holder  issued  to  Maker,
represented  by stock  certificate  number  W15812 as  evidenced by that certain
Pledge Agreement of even date herewith between the Maker and the Holder ("Pledge
Agreement").

In the event (i) the Maker fails to make any payment  hereunder  within ten (10)
days of the date such  payment is due;  or (ii) the Maker is unable or admits in
writing an inability to pay its debts  generally as they become due, or files or
has filed  against  it a  petition  in  bankruptcy  or for an  arrangement  or a
reorganization,  or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors,  or
has a  receiver  or  trustee  appointed  for it; or (iii)  there is an "Event of
Default"  (as  defined in the Pledge  Agreement)  by the Maker  under the Pledge
Agreement;  or (iv) if the Pledge Agreement at any time or for any reason ceases
to create a valid and perfected  security interest and pledge or ceases to be in
full force or is declared  void; or (v) Maker dies and all amounts due hereunder
have not been paid within  ninety  (90) days after such death,  then in any such
event,  Holder may without demand or any other act of Holder, take any or all of
the following actions: (x) declare the principal of and any accrued interest and
other  amounts  in respect of this Note to be due and  payable;  (y)  proceed to
enforce or cause


                                                         1

to be enforced any remedies  provided  under this Note or the Pledge  Agreement;
and/or (z) exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity,  either by
suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for specific performance of
any covenant or other agreement  contained in this Note, the Pledge Agreement or
in aid of the  exercise  of  any  power  granted  in  this  Note  or the  Pledge
Agreement.

Presentment  and  other  demand  for  payment  (other  than any  written  demand
expressly  provided  in this Note),  notice of  dishonor  and protest are hereby
waived by the Maker. The Maker agrees to reimburse the Holder for all reasonable
fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and court costs) incurred
in connection with the collection of the indebtedness represented by this Note.

Interest on any late  payment of  principal  or interest or on any other  amount
under  this  Note  which is past due  shall be  payable  at a rate  which is six
percent (6%) in excess of the rate  otherwise  payable on the  principal of this
Note.  For purposes of this Note a "Business Day" shall mean any day, other than
Saturdays,  Sundays or other days on which  commercial  banks are  authorized or
required  by law to be  closed  in  Stamford,  Connecticut.  If any  payment  of
principal or interest or other amount due  hereunder  becomes due on a day other
than a Business Day such payment shall be made on the next  succeeding  Business
Day. All payments  hereunder shall be payable in free and immediately  available
funds in United States Dollars.

All agreements  between the Maker and the Holder are hereby expressly limited so
that in no event  will the rate of  interest  charged or agreed to be charged to
the Maker for the use,  forbearance,  loaning or detention of such  indebtedness
exceed the maximum permissible  interest rate under applicable law (the "Maximum
Rate").  If for any reason,  the interest rate applied exceeds the Maximum Rate,
then the interest rate will automatically be reduced to the Maximum Rate. If the
Holder  receives  interest at a rate  exceeding the Maximum Rate,  the amount of
interest  received in excess of the maximum amount receivable will be applied to
the reduction of the principal  balance of the outstanding  obligation for which
the amount was paid and not to the payment of interest thereunder.

The principal balance hereunder may be prepaid without premium or penalty.

No delay on the part of the  Holder  in  exercising  any  right  hereunder  will
operate as a waiver  thereof,  nor will any single or  partial  exercise  of any
right hereunder  preclude any other or further  exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other  right,  nor will the  Holder  hereof be liable for  exercising  or
failing to exercise  any such right.  The rights and remedies  herein  expressly
specified are  cumulative  and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the
Holder hereof may or would  otherwise have. This Note may not be assigned by the
Maker.



                                                         2

This Note shall be with  recourse and governed by, and  construed in  accordance
with, the laws of the State of  Connecticut  without regard to the principles of
conflict  of  laws.  The  Maker   irrevocably   submits  to  the   non-exclusive
jurisdiction  of any state or federal court located in Hartford,  Connecticut in
any action arising in connection with this Note.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the Maker has executed  this Note  effective as of July 6,
1998.

        custody  or  control  of  Pledgor  which  would be  included  within the
        definition of Collateral in Section 1(a) above.

              (c) Actions Prior to an Event of Default.  Until the occurrence of
        an Event of Default (as defined in Section  3(a) below) the Pledgor will
        have  the  sole  right  (i) to  vote  the  securities  constituting  the
        Collateral and to give consents,  waivers and  ratifications  in respect
        thereof,  provided  that no vote shall be cast,  or  consent,  waiver or
        ratification given or action taken that would violate or not comply with
        any of the terms and  provisions of this Pledge  Agreement;  and (ii) to
        receive any and all cash  dividends  declared and paid on the securities
        constituting  the Collateral  that are not otherwise in violation of any
        of the terms and provisions of this Pledge Agreement.

              (d)  Termination  of Security  Interest and Return of  Collateral.
        Upon such date as the entire  principal sum and all accrued  interest on
        the Note shall have been paid in full, (i) all of the  Collateral  shall
        automatically,  and without any further action of the parties hereto, be
        released from the security interest of the Secured Party created by this
        Pledge   Agreement   and  (ii)  the  Secured  Party  shall  deliver  the
        certificate or certificates representing the Collateral to the Pledgor.
 
         2.       Representations, Warranties And Covenants Of Pledgor.

              (a) Power and  Authority  to  Pledge.  Pledgor  has full power and
        authority  to execute and deliver this Pledge  Agreement  and to perform
        his obligations hereunder.

              (b) Enforceability. This Pledge Agreement is the valid and binding
        obligation  of Pledgor,  enforceable  against  Pledgor  according to its
        terms,  subject to applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  moratorium  and
        other laws  affecting  creditors'  rights and  remedies and the judicial
        limitations on the right to specific  performance.  Upon delivery of the
        Shares to the Secured Party,  this Pledge Agreement shall create a valid
        first  priority  lien upon,  and  perfected  security  interest  in, the
        Shares.

              (c) Title to  Collateral.  Pledgor  warrants and represents to the
        Secured  Party  that it is the sole legal and  beneficial  owner of, and
        holds   good   title  to,   the   Collateral   free  and  clear  of  any
        hypothecations,  liens, encumbrances,  mortgages, security interests and
        restrictions on transfer and assignment thereof, except for the security
        interest created by this Pledge Agreement and as required by federal and
        state securities laws.

              (d)  Preservation  of Rights on Collateral.  Pledgor will take any
        action necessary to preserve redemption, conversion, warrant, preemptive
        or other rights (and be aware of the dates limiting the exercise of such
        rights) concerning the Collateral.

              (e)  Maintenance  of Security  Interest.  The Pledgor  will do and
        enact all things deemed  necessary or  appropriate  by the Secured Party

        perfection,  terminate and enforce the Secured  Party's  interest in the
        Collateral and the Secured Party's rights under this Pledge Agreement.

         3.       Events of Default and Remedies.

              (a)  Events  of  Default.  The  occurrence  of one or  more of the
        following shall constitute an "Event of Default"  hereunder unless cured
        within  ten (10) days of  notice by  Secured  Party to  Pledgor  of such
        occurrence:

              (1) The Pledgor  defaults in the  performance or observance of any
        of the terms or covenants in this Pledge Agreement;

              (2) Any  representation  or  warranty  made by the Pledgor in this
        Pledge Agreement is untrue at any time in any respect;

              (3) The  Pledgor  defaults in the payment of any amounts due under
        the Note; or

              (4) The Pledgor shall become  bankrupt or  insolvent,  or admit in
        writing his inability to pay debts as they mature, or make an assignment
        for the benefit of creditors;  the Pledgor shall apply for or consent to
        the  appointment of any receiver,  trustee or similar officer or for all
        or any substantial part of his or its property;  such receiver,  trustee
        or similar officer shall be appointed without the application or consent
        of the  Pledgor,  as the case may be; the Pledgor  shall  institute  (by
        petition,  application,  answer,  consent or otherwise) any  bankruptcy,
        insolvency,  adjustment of debt or similar  proceeding under the laws of
        any jurisdiction;  any such proceeding shall be instituted (by petition,
        application or otherwise)  against the Pledgor;  or any judgment,  writ,
        warrant of attachment or execution or similar process shall be issued or
        levied against a substantial part of the property of the Pledgor.

              (b) Secured Party's Right to Sell Collateral.  Upon the occurrence
        of an Event of Default, the Collateral shall be forfeited by the Pledgor
        to the Secured Party unless the Secured Party,  in its sole  discretion,
        permits the Pledgor to continue to make  payments  under the Note and to
        retain his rights and interest in the  Collateral  under the  Agreement.
        The Secured Party shall be entitled to sell the  Collateral  upon thirty
        (30) days' written notice to Pledgor,  at a private sale as permitted by
        law.  Thereafter the  Collateral  shall be held by the Secured Party for
        its own  account and the Secured  Party may cause the  Collateral  to be
        registered  in its  name and may vote  the  Collateral  (whether  or not
        transferred or registered in the name of the Secured Party) and give all
        consents,  waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, and may receive
        all dividends, interest and any other distributions,  payments, proceeds
        and all

        other benefits thereon.  The Secured Party may limit sales to purchasers
        who are acquiring for investment  and not with any view to  distribution
        and may  condition  any sale or sales upon  restriction  against  future
        transfers  to the extent that the Secured  Party as it may be advised by
        counsel as  necessary  to protect the Secured  Party from any  liability
        under the Securities  Act of 1933, the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,
        state  securities laws, and any like or similar laws now or hereafter in
        effect in any jurisdiction.

              (c)  Rights  Cumulative.  The  exercise  of any and all rights and
        remedies  available to Secured  Party under this Pledge  Agreement or by
        law or in  equity  shall  be  exercised  by  Secured  Party  in its sole
        discretion  and  shall not  relieve  Pledgor  of any of its  obligations
        hereunder  or under the Note.  All rights and  remedies  of the  Secured
        Party  hereunder  are in addition to rights and  remedies  afforded  the
        Secured  Party  under the Note,  any other  document  or under law or in
        equity.  All remedies are cumulative and may be exercised by the Secured
        Party  concurrently  or  consecutively.  No failure or  omission  of the
        Secured  Party to exercise any such right or remedy  shall  constitute a
        waiver thereof.
 
        4.        Termination.  Upon timely  payment in full of the  obligations
        under the Note,  this Pledge shall  terminate and be of no further force
        and effect, and the Secured Party shall thereupon promptly return to the
        Pledgor such of the Collateral and such other documents delivered by the
        Pledgor as may then be in the Secured Party's possession.

        Pledge  Agreement   should  be  declared  to  be  invalid,   illegal  or
        unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent  jurisdiction,  the
        validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions herein
        shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

              (d)  Survival  of   Representations.   All   representations   and
        warranties  made herein are, and shall  continue to be, true and correct
        in all material respects until the Note is paid in full.
