          (b) Certificate Legends. This Warrant, all shares of Series DD

such shares of Series DD Preferred Stock (unless Registered under the
Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form (in addition to any legends required by applicable state
securities laws):

     THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
     THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION OF SUCH
     SECURITIES MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
     RELATING THERETO, (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR HOLDER, REASONABLY
     SATISFACTORY TO COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED, (iii)
     RECEIPT OF A NO-ACTION LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION,
     OR (iv) OTHERWISE COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE III OF THE
     WARRANT UNDER WHICH THIS SECURITY WAS ISSUED.

          (c) Disposition of Warrant or Shares. With respect to any offer, sale
or other disposition of this Warrant, any shares of Series DD Preferred Stock
issued upon exercise of this Warrant or shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant
to conversion of such shares of Series DD Preferred Stock prior to Registration
of such shares, Holder or the Shareholder, as the case may be, agrees to give
written notice to Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof,
together with a written opinion of Holder's or Shareholder's counsel, if
reasonably requested by Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other
disposition may be effected without Registration under the Securities Act or
qualification under any applicable state securities laws of this Warrant or
such shares, as the case may be, and indicating whether or not under the
Securities Act certificates for this Warrant or such shares, as the case may
be, to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to
applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with
the Securities Act. Promptly upon receiving such written notice and reasonably
satisfactory opinion, if so requested, Company, as promptly as practicable,
shall notify Holder or the Shareholder, as the case may be, that it may sell or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such shares, as the case may be, all in
accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to Company. If a determination
has been made pursuant to this subsection (c) that the opinion of counsel for
Holder or the Shareholder, as the case may be, is not reasonably satisfactory
to Company, Company shall so notify Holder or the Shareholder, as the case may
be, promptly after such determination has been made and shall specify the legal
analysis supporting any such conclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Warrant or such shares, as the case may be, may be offered, sold or otherwise
disposed of in accordance with Rule 144, provided that Company shall have been
furnished with such information as Company may reasonably request to provide
reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Each
certificate representing this Warrant or the shares thus transferred (except a
transfer pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable
restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the
Securities Act, unless in the aforesaid reasonably satisfactory opinion of
counsel for Holder or the Shareholder, as the case may be, such legend is not
necessary in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act. Company may
issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such
restrictions.

          (d) Warrant Transfer Procedure. Transfer of this Warrant to a third
party, following compliance with the preceding subsections of this Section 3.1,
shall be effected by execution of the Assignment Form attached hereto as
Exhibit "C", and surrender for registration of transfer of this Warrant at the
Principal Executive Office, together with funds sufficient to pay any
applicable transfer tax. Upon receipt of the duly executed Assignment Form and
the necessary transfer tax funds, if any, Company, at its expense, shall
execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or


                                       5

<PAGE>   6
transferees, one or more new Warrants representing the right to purchase a like
aggregate number of shares of Series DD Preferred Stock.

          (e)  Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed under this
Section 3.1 upon the transferability of the Warrant, the shares of Series DD
Preferred Stock acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant and the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series DD Preferred
Stock shall cease when (i) a registration statement covering all shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series DD Preferred Stock
becomes effective under the Securities Act, (ii) Company is presented with an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Company that such restrictions are
no longer required in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act or with
a Commission "no-action" letter stating that future transfers of such securities
by the transferor or the contemplated transferee would be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act, or (iii) such securities may be
transferred in accordance with Rule 144(k). When such restrictions terminate,
Company shall, or shall instruct its transfer agent to, promptly, and without
expense to Holder or the Shareholder, as the case maybe, issue new securities in
the name of Holder and/or the Shareholder, as the case may be, not bearing the
legends required under subsection (b) of this Section 3.1. In addition, new
securities shall be issued without such legends if such legends may be properly
removed under the terms of Rule 144(k).

     3.2  Exchange. At Holder's option, this Warrant may be exchanged for other
Warrants representing the right to purchase a like aggregate number of shares of
Series DD Preferred Stock upon surrender of this Warrant at the Principal
Executive Office. Whenever this Warrant is so surrendered to Company at the
Principal Executive Office for exchange, Company shall execute and deliver the
Warrants which Holder is entitled to receive. All Warrants issued upon any
registration of transfer or exchange of Warrants shall be the valid obligations
of Company, evidencing the same rights, and entitled to the same benefits, as
the Warrants surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. No
service charge shall be made for any exchange of this Warrant.

     3.3  Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (i) in
the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to Company in form and amount, or (ii) in the case of
any such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation at the
Principal Executive Office, Company, at its expense, shall execute and deliver,
in lieu thereof, a new Warrant.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                            ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS

     4.1  Conversion of Series DD Preferred Stock. If all of the Series DD
Preferred Stock is converted into shares of Common Stock in connection with a
Registration, then this Warrant shall automatically become exercisable for that
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the
shares of Series DD Preferred Stock received thereupon had been simultaneously
converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such event, and the
Exercise Price shall be automatically adjusted to equal the amount obtained by
dividing (i) the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares of Series DD Preferred
Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such
conversion, by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
is exercisable immediately after such conversion.

     4.2  Reorganization, Reclassification or Recapitalization of Company. In
case of (1) a capital reorganization, reclassification or recapitalization of
Company's capital stock (other than in the cases referred to in Section 4.4
hereof), (2) Company's consolidation or merger with or into another

                                       6
<PAGE>   7
corporation in which Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse
triangular merger in which Company is the surviving entity but the shares of
Company's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are
converted, by virtue of the merger, into other property, whether in the form of
securities, cash or otherwise, or (3) the sale of transfer of Company's property
as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, then, as part of such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, sale
or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that there shall thereafter be
deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant or any portion thereof (in lieu of
or in addition to the number of shares of Series DD Preferred Stock theretofore
deliverable, as appropriate), and without payment of any additional
consideration, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to
which the holder of the number of shares of Series DD Preferred Stock which
would otherwise have been deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant or any
portion thereof at the time of such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer would have been
entitled to receive in such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, sale or transfer.

This Section 4.2 shall apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications,
recapitalizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the
stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per-share consideration payable to
Holder for shares of Series DD Preferred Stock in connection with any
transaction described in this Section 4.2 is in a form other than cash or
marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined
in good faith by Company's Board of Directors.

      4.3   Splits and Combinations. If Company at any time subdivides any of
its outstanding shares of Series DD Preferred Stock into a greater number of
shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, if the outstanding shares of
Series DD Preferred Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares, the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price under this
Section 4.3, the number of shares of Series DD Preferred Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall equal the number of shares determined by
dividing (i) the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchase of all
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment by (ii) the Exercise Price per share in effect immediately after
such adjustment.

      4.4   Reclassifications. If Company changes any of the securities as to
which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different
number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall
thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as
would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the
securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant
immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Exercise
Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted. No adjustment shall be made
pursuant to this Section 4.4 upon any conversion described in Section 4.1
hereof.

      4.5   Dividends and Distributions. If Company declares a dividend or
other distribution on the Series DD Preferred Stock or if a dividend or other
distribution on the Series DD Preferred Stock occurs pursuant to the Articles of
Incorporation (other than a cash dividend or distribution), then, as part of
such dividend or distribution, lawful provision shall be made so that there
shall thereafter be deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant or any
portion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Series DD Preferred
Stock receivable thereupon and without payment of any additional consideration,
the amount of the dividend or other distribution to which the holder of the
number of shares of Series DD Preferred Stock obtained upon exercise hereof
would have been entitled to receive had the exercise occurred as of the record
date for such dividend or distribution.



                                       7
<PAGE>   8
     4.6. Liquidation; Dissolution.  If Company shall dissolve, liquidate or
wind up its affairs, Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
exercise this Warrant effective as of the date of such dissolution, liquidation
or winding up. If any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up results in any
cash distribution to Holder in excess of the aggregate Exercise Price for the
shares of Series DD Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercised, then
Holder may, at its option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of such
aggregate Exercise Price and, in such case, Company shall, upon distribution to
Holder, consider such aggregate Exercise Price to have been paid in full, and in
making such settlement to Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to such aggregate
Exercise Price from the amount payable to Holder.

     4.7. Other Dilutive Events.  If any event occurs as to which the other
provisions of this Article IV are not strictly applicable but the failure to
make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles hereof,
then, in each such case, Company shall appoint a firm of independent public
accountants of recognized national standing (which may be Company's regular
auditors) which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis
consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Article
IV, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, Company shall promptly mail a copy
thereof to Holder and shall make the adjustments described therein.

     4.8. Certificates and Notices.

          (a)  Adjustment Certificates. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise
Price and/or the number of shares of Series DD Preferred Stock purchasable
upon exercise of this Warrant, a certificate, signed by (i) Company's President
and Chief Financial Officer, or (ii) any independent firm of certified public
accountants of recognized national standing Company selects at its own expense,
setting forth in reasonable detail the events requiring the adjustment and the
method by which such adjustment was calculated, shall be mailed to Holder and
shall specify the adjusted Exercise Price and the number of shares of Series DD
Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant after giving effect to
the adjustment.

          (b)  Extraordinary Corporate Events. If Company, after the date
hereof, proposes to effect (i) any transaction described in Sections 4.2 or 4.4
hereof, (ii) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Company described in
Section 4.6 hereof, or (iii) any payment of a dividend or distribution with
respect to Series DD Preferred Stock or Common Stock, then, in each such case,
Company shall mail to Holder a notice describing such proposed action and
specifying the date on which Company's books shall close, or a record shall be
taken, for determining the holders of Series DD Preferred Stock or Common Stock,
as appropriate, entitled to participate in such action, or the date on which
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall take place or commence, as the case
may be, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Series DD
Preferred Stock and Common Stock of record shall be entitled to receive
securities and/or other property deliverable upon such action, if any such date
is to be fixed. Such notice shall be mailed to Holder at least (30) days prior
to the record date for such action in the case of any action described in clause
(i) or clause (iii) above, and in the case of any action described in clause
(ii) above, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the action
described is to take place and at least thirty (30) days prior to the record
date for determining holders of Series DD Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as
appropriate, entitled to receive securities and/or other property in connection
with such action.

     4.9. No Impairment.  Company shall not, by amendment of the Articles of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance



                                       8



<PAGE>   9
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by
Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Article IV and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of Holder against
impairment.

     4.10 Application. Except as otherwise provided herein, all sections of this
Article IV are intended to operate independently of one another. If an event
occurs that requires the application of more than one section, all applicable
sections shall be given independent effect.

                                   COVENANTS

     6.1  Financial Information. Company shall deliver to Holder, concurrent
with delivery to any of the Investors, as defined in the Rights Agreement, all
information delivered to any of the Investors pursuant to Section 4.1 of Article
IV of the Rights Agreement and all other information delivered to any of the
Investors from time to time pursuant to the Rights Agreement as in effect from
time to time during the term hereof. If the Rights Agreement is terminated for
any reason, and for so long as Company is not subject to the periodic reporting
requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, Company shall
deliver to Holder all information that was required to be delivered to any of
the Investors, as defined in the Rights Agreement, pursuant to the Section 4.1
of Article IV of the Rights Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof.

     6.2  Non-Financial Covenants. Company covenants that:

          (a)  Authorized Shares. Company will at all times have authorized, and
reserved for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the rights
evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Series DD Preferred
Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (for
purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, the shares of Series DD
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of all other options and warrants shall
be deemed issued and outstanding), and a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to provide for the conversion into Common Stock of all the shares of
Series DD Preferred Stock issued and issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
but theretofore unconverted (for purposes of determining compliance with this
covenant, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all options and
warrants to acquire Common Stock and upon conversion of all instruments
convertible into Common Stock shall be deemed issued and outstanding);

          (b)  Proper Issuance. Company, at its expense, will take all such
action as may be necessary to assure that the Series DD Preferred Stock issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of such Series DD Preferred Stock, may be so issued without violation
of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic
securities exchange upon which any capital stock of Company may be listed. Such
action may include, but not be limited to, causing such shares to be duly
registered or approved or listed on relevant domestic securities exchanges; and

          (c)  Fully Paid Shares. Company will take all actions necessary or
appropriate to validly and legally issue (i) fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Series DD Preferred Stock upon exercise of this Warrant and (ii) fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon


                                       9

conversion of such shares of Series DD Preferred Stock. All such shares will be
free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof,
other than any stock transfer taxes in respect to any transfer occurring
contemporaneously with such issuance.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

       7.1    Certain Expenses. Company shall pay all expenses in connection
with, and all taxes (other than stock transfer taxes or capital gains taxes or
taxes related to the appreciation in value of the Warrant) and other
governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of, the issuance, sale and
delivery of the Warrant, the Warrant Shares and the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares.

       7.2    Remedies. Company stipulates that the remedies at law of Holder
in the event of any default or threatened default by Company in the performance
of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be
adequate to the fullest extent permitted by law, and that such terms may be
specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement
contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms
hereof or otherwise.

       7.3    Enforcement Costs. If any part to, or beneficiary of, this
Warrant seeks to enforce its rights hereunder by legal proceedings or
otherwise, then the non-prevailing party shall pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by the prevailing party, including, without limitation, all
reasonable attorneys' fees (including the allocable costs of in-house counsel).

       7.4    Notices. Any notice, demand or delivery to be made pursuant to
this Warrant will be sufficiently given or made if sent by first class mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to (a) Holder and the Shareholders at their last
known addresses appearing on the books of Company maintained for such purpose or
(b) Company at its Principal Executive Office. Holder, the Shareholders and
Company may each designate a different address by notice to the other pursuant
to this section. A notice shall be deemed effective upon the earlier of (i)
receipt or (ii) the third day after mailing in accordance with the terms of
this Section 7.4.

       7.5    Successors and Assigns. This Warrant shall be binding upon
Company and any Person succeeding Company by merger, consolidation or
acquisition of all or substantially all of Company's assets, and all of the
obligations of Company with respect to the shares of Series DD Preferred Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of such shares of Series DD Preferred Stock, shall survive
the exercise, expiration or termination of this Warrant and all of the
covenants and agreements of Company shall inure to the benefit of Holder, each
Shareholder and their respective successors and assigns.

       7.6    Modification; Severability. If, in any action before any court or
agency legally empowered to enforce any term, any term is found to be
unenforceable, then such term shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary
to make it enforceable by such court or agency. If any term is not curable as
set forth in this section, the unenforceability of such term shall not affect
the other provisions of this Warrant but this Warrant shall be construed as if
such unenforceable term had ever been contained herein.

       7.7    Amendment. This Warrant may not be modified or amended except by
written agreement of Company and Holder.

in accordance with, the California law, without giving effect to conflicts of
law principles.

                                  EXHIBIT "B"

                     INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION CERTIFICATE

Purchaser:

Company:       REPEATER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Security:      Series DD Preferred Stock

Amount:

Date:

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed securities (the
"Securities"), the undersigned (the "Purchaser") represents to Company as
follows:

The Purchaser is aware of Company's business affairs and financial condition,
and has acquired sufficient information about Company to reach an informed and
knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The Purchaser is purchasing
the Securities for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a
view to, or for the resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof for
purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefor, which exemption
depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser's
investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Purchaser
understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the Purchaser's
representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these
Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes,
for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of
the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the
future;

The Purchaser further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely
unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption
from registration is otherwise available. Moreover, the Purchaser understands
that Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. In addition, the
Purchaser understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be
imprinted with the legend referred to in the Warrant under which the Securities
are being purchased;

The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the
Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted
securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or from
an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, if applicable, including, among other
things: (i) the availability of certain public information about Company; (ii)
the resale occurring not less than one (1) year after the party has purchased
and paid for the securities to be sold; (iii) the sale being made through a
broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with
a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) and the amount of securities being sold during any three-month period not
exceeding the specified limitations stated therein;

The Purchaser further understands that at the time it wishes to sell the
Securities there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and
that, even if such a public market upon which to make such a
<PAGE>   14
sale then exists, Company may not be satisfying the current public information
requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, the Purchaser may be
precluded from selling the securities under Rule 144 even if the one (1) year
minimum holding period has been satisfied; and

The Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the requirements of
Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance
with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and
that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the
SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement
securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to
Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an
exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such
persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so
at their own risk.
