                         EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                               SECOND MODIFICATION

         The purpose of this letter is to modify and amend the Executive
Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") by and between Manhattan Associates, Inc.
a Georgia corporation ("Company"), and Richard Haddrill ("Executive") that was
entered into the 11th day of October 1999, as modified by the Executive
Employment Agreement Modification (the "First Modification") effective as of
July 19, 2001, which remains in full force and effect other than as modified
herein. This modification (the "Second Modification") shall be effective as of
the date of execution. In the event of a conflict between this Second
Modification and the Agreement as previously modified by the First Modification,
the terms of this Second Modification shall control. Capitalized terms not
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

         WHEREAS, the Executive currently serves as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company; and

         WHEREAS, Executive has agreed to continue in the employ of the Company
through December 31, 2004, in the position of President and Chief Executive
Officer or such other position as may be designated by the Board of Directors of
the Company upon the hiring of Executive's successor as Chief Executive Officer.
In light of this agreement, Company has agreed to modify the Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

         1.       Employment and Duties.

                  A. Company shall continue to employ Executive as President and
Chief Executive Officer through December 31, 2004. Executive hereby accepts
employment on the terms set forth herein and in the Agreement as modified
hereby. Executive shall continue to report to the Board of Directors.

                  B. Executive shall continue with the duties that have been
established and as are normally associated with the duties of President and
Chief Executive Officer. Specifically, Executive shall have overall primary
responsibility for the functions of the Company.

                  C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
Company hires a new Chief Executive Officer, Executive shall have such
positions, titles, duties, and responsibilities as may be designated by the
Board of Directors of the Company, which change will not constitute an event
giving rise to Constructive Termination. Executive shall continue to report to
the Board of Directors.

         2.       Term. The term of both this Second Modification and the
Agreement will expire on December 31, 2004, and the Agreement will not be
further extended under Section 4 of the Agreement.

         3.       Compensation.

                  A. Base Salary. During his employment hereunder, Company shall
continue to pay Executive a base salary ("Base Salary") at the rate of $29,775
per month ($357,305 annualized), such amounts to be increased by 6% beginning
January 1, 2004, subject to all standard employment deductions.

                  B. Option Grant. In addition to the stock option compensation
provided to Executive pursuant to paragraphs 3.D. of the Agreement and 2.C. of
the First Modification, the Company has granted Executive a nonqualified option
(the "Option" and, collectively with such other option grants, the "Stock
Options") to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a 10
year term at an exercise price per share of $17.90, which amount was equal to
the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock as of the date of
grant of the Option. The Option is subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in the Stock Option Grant, dated October 23, 2002, which memorializes the
Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the

<PAGE>

Executive is no longer serving as an officer or director of the Company, other
than for Cause as defined in 5.A. of the Agreement, the entire Option or such
portion thereof which shall have vested must be exercised within 2 years of the
date that he is no longer an officer or director of the Company. In the event
the Executive's employment is terminated for Cause or in the event of a
volitional termination as defined in 5.B. of the Agreement prior to December 31,
2004, Executive shall have 30 days after such termination to exercise any vested
Options. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary and in lieu of any other
provisions in the Agreement or the First Modification, in the event of a
termination of Executive's employment, after October 1, 2004 and prior to
January 1, 2005, by the Company other than for Cause or by Executive which
constitutes Constructive Termination, all of Executive's options shall vest and
all other terms including any restrictions on the Executive's outstanding
Options shall continue in full force and effect.

                  C. Performance-Related Bonus. This paragraph supersedes
Paragraph 2.B. of the First Modification and Paragraph 3.B. of the Agreement.
For fiscal years 2003 and 2004, Executive shall be eligible to receive a
performance-related bonus equal to 1.5% of the pre-tax operating income (as
defined in the Agreement) for the respective year. The bonus amount for 2003 and
2004 shall be paid on or before March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively; provided,
however, that in the event of a termination of Executive's employment, prior to
January 1, 2004 or 2005, respectively, by the Company for Cause or by Executive
which does not constitute Constructive Termination, or Executive's failure to
remain in the position of Chief Executive Officer for the entire 2003 or 2004
fiscal year, respectively, Executive shall forfeit any bonus, accrued or
otherwise, for such year. In the event of a termination of Executive's
employment, prior to January 1, 2004 or 2005, respectively, by the Company other
than for Cause or by Executive which constitutes Constructive Termination, then
Executive shall receive the bonus accrued for the period up to the last
completed financial quarter preceding such Termination, payable within 30 days
of such Termination or if the quarterly audit has not been completed by the
Company's auditors, payable within 30 days of the completion of such audit. In
no event, however, shall Executive's total compensation for any year (calculated
as Base Salary plus performance-related or other cash bonuses) exceed
$1,000,000.

         4.       Severance. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary and
in lieu of any other provisions in the Agreement or the First Modification, in
the event of a termination of Executive's employment, prior to December 31,
2004, by the Company other than for Cause or by Executive which constitutes
Constructive Termination, the Company shall continue to pay Executive an amount
equal to twice his annual Base Salary (in effect at the time of termination).
Any severance payment hereunder shall be subject to all required deductions, and
the Company's obligation to make the severance payments shall be conditioned
upon Executive's (i) execution of a release agreement in the form attached to
the Agreement as Exhibit A, and (ii) compliance with the restrictive covenants
and all post-termination obligations contained in the Agreement. No severance
shall be due for any termination upon or following the expiration of this Second
Modification and the Agreement on December 31, 2004. Section 5.C. of the
Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.

         5.       Constructive Termination. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in the Agreement or the First Modification, neither the assignment of
Executive to a new position, having such title, duties, responsibilities, and
reporting requirements as may be designated by the Board upon the hiring of a
new Chief Executive Officer, nor (b) the changes to Executive's compensation
provided in this Second Modification shall constitute Constructive Termination.
Section 1.G., clause (A)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended and replaced with
the following: "the Executive is directed to report to other than the Board or
the Executive is not timely paid his compensation under this Agreement".

         6.       Miscellaneous. Except as hereby modified and amended, the
Agreement, as modified by the First Modification, shall remain in full force and
effect. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, and without regard to
conflict of laws principles, the laws of the State of Georgia shall govern this
Second Modification in all respects, whether as to its validity, construction,
capacity, performance or otherwise. This Second Modification may be executed
simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

         AGREEMENT made as of the 17th day of September, 2003, by and between
LADENBURG THALMANN FINANCIAL SERVICES INC., a Florida corporation (the
"Company"), and _____________ (the "Director").

         WHEREAS, on September 17, 2003 (the "Grant Date"), pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Company's 1999 Performance Equity Plan (the "Plan"),
the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the
Company authorized the grant to the Director of an option (the "Option") to
purchase an aggregate of 20,000 shares of the authorized but unissued Common
Stock of the Company, $.0001 par value (the "Common Stock"), conditioned upon
the Director's acceptance thereof upon the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement and subject to the terms of the Plan; and

         WHEREAS, the Director desires to acquire the Option on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and subject to the terms of the Plan;

         IT IS AGREED:

         1. GRANT OF STOCK OPTION. The Company hereby grants the Director the
Option to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of 20,000 shares of Common
Stock (the "Option Shares") on the terms and conditions set forth herein and
subject to the provisions of the Plan.

         2. NON-INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION. The Option represented hereby is not
intended to be an option which qualifies as an "Incentive Stock Option" under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

         3. EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of the Option shall be $0.30 per
share, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.

         4. EXERCISABILITY. This Option is exercisable, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, on and after September 17, 2004. After the Option
becomes exercisable, it shall remain exercisable except as otherwise provided
herein, until the close of business on September 17, 2013 (the "Exercise
Period").

         5. TERMINATION DUE TO DEATH. Upon the death of the Director, the
portion of the Option, if any, that was exercisable as of the date of death may
thereafter be exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the
legatee of the Director under the will of the Director, for a period of one year
from the date of such death or until the expiration of the Exercise Period,
whichever period is shorter. The portion of the Option, if any, that was not
exercisable as of the date of death shall immediately terminate upon death.

         6. WITHHOLDING TAX. Not later than the date as of which an amount first
becomes includable in the gross income of the Director for Federal income tax
purposes with respect to the Option, the Director shall pay to the Company, or
make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any
Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld or

<PAGE>

paid with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under the Plan
and pursuant to this Agreement shall be conditional upon such payment or
arrangements with the Company and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by
law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind
otherwise due to the Director from the Company.

         7. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of any change in the shares of Common
Stock of the Company as a whole occurring as the result of a stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend payable on shares of Common Stock,
combination or exchange of shares, or other extraordinary or unusual event, the
Company shall proportionally adjust the number and kind of Option Shares and the
exercise price of the Option in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of
the Director's proportionate interest in the Company and his rights hereunder,
provided that the number of Option Shares shall always be a whole number.

         8. METHOD OF EXERCISE.

                  8.1. NOTICE TO THE COMPANY. The Option shall be exercised in
whole or in part by written notice in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A directed to the Company at its principal place of business accompanied
by full payment as hereinafter provided of the exercise price for the number of
Option Shares specified in the notice.

                  8.2. DELIVERY OF OPTION SHARES. The Company shall deliver a
certificate for the Option Shares to the Director as soon as practicable after
payment therefor.

                  8.3. PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.

                           8.3.1. CASH PAYMENT. The Director shall make cash
payments by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each
case payable to the order of the Company; the Company shall not be required to
deliver certificates for Option Shares until the Company has confirmed the
receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof.

                           8.3.2. CASHLESS PAYMENT. At the election of the
Director, the purchase price for any or all of the Option Shares to be acquired
may be paid by the surrender of shares of Common Stock of the Company held by or
for the account of the Director with a "fair market value" equal to the purchase
price multiplied by the number of Option Shares to be purchased. "Fair market
value" of the Common Stock means, as of the exercise date: (i) if the Common
Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the last sale price of the Common
Stock in the principal trading market for the Common Stock on the last day
trading day preceding such date, as reported by the exchange or Nasdaq, as the
case may be; (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities
exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market, but
is traded in the over-the-counter market, the closing bid price of the Common
Stock on the last trading day preceding such date for which such quotations are
reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or similar publisher of
such quotations; and (iii) if the fair market value of the Common Stock cannot
be determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, such price as the Company
shall determine, in good faith. The Company shall issue a certificate or
certificates evidencing the Option Shares as soon as practicable after the
notice and payment is received. The certificate or certificates evidencing the
Option Shares shall be registered in the name of the person or persons so
exercising the Option.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                           8.3.3. PAYMENT PRICE OF WITHHOLDING TAX. Any required
withholding tax may be paid in cash or with Common Stock in accordance with
Sections 8.3.1. and 8.3.2.

                           8.3.4. EXCHANGE ACT COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall have the right to reject payment in the form of
Common Stock if in the opinion of counsel for the Company, (i) it could result
in an event of "recapture" under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"); (ii) such shares of Common Stock may not be
sold or transferred to the Company; or (iii) such transfer could create legal
difficulties for the Company.

         9. NONASSIGNABILITY. Except as may be set forth in the next sentence of
this Section, the Option shall not be transferable by the Director except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and the Option shall be
exercisable, during the Director's lifetime, only by the Director (or, to the
extent of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Director's guardian or legal
representative). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director, with the approval
of the Committee, may transfer the Option (i) (A) by gift, for no consideration,
or (B) pursuant to a domestic relations order, in either case, to or for the
benefit of the Director's Immediate Family (as defined in the Plan), or (ii) to
an entity in which the Director and/or members of the Director's Immediate
Family own more than fifty percent of the voting interest, in exchange for an
interest in that entity, provided that such transfer is being made for estate,
tax and/or personal planning purposes and will not have adverse tax consequences
to the Company and subject to such limits as the Committee may establish and the
execution of such documents as the Committee may require. In such event, the
transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to
the Option prior to such transfer.

         10. COMPANY REPRESENTATIONS. The Company hereby represents and warrants
to the Director that:

                  (i) the Company, by appropriate and all required action, is
         duly authorized to enter into this Agreement and consummate all of the
         transactions contemplated hereunder; and

                  (ii) the Option Shares, when issued and delivered by the
         Company to the Director in accordance with the terms and conditions
         hereof, will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
         non-assessable.

        11. DIRECTOR REPRESENTATIONS. The Director hereby represents and
warrants to the Company that:

                  (i) he is acquiring the Option and shall acquire the Option
         Shares for his own account and not with a view towards the distribution
         thereof;

                  (ii) he has received a copy of all reports and documents
         required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the
         Exchange Act within the last 12 months and all reports issued by the
         Company to its stockholders;

                  (iii) he understands that he must bear the economic risk of
         the investment in the Option Shares, which cannot be sold by him unless

                                       3
<PAGE>

         they are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
         "1933 Act") or an exemption therefrom is available thereunder and that
         the Company is under no obligation to register the Option Shares for
         sale under the 1933 Act;

                  (iv) in his position with the Company, he has had both the
         opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the officers and
         directors of the Company and all persons acting on its behalf
         concerning the terms and conditions of the offer made hereunder and to
         obtain any additional information to the extent the Company possesses
         or may possess such information or can acquire it without unreasonable
         effort or expense necessary to verify the accuracy of the information
         obtained pursuant to clause (ii) above;

                  (v) he is aware that the Company shall place stop transfer
         orders with its transfer agent against the transfer of the Option
         Shares in the absence of registration under the 1933 Act or an
         exemption therefrom as provided herein; and

                  (vi) the certificates evidencing the Option Shares shall bear
         the following legends:

                  "The shares represented by this certificate have been acquired
                  for investment and have not been registered under the
                  Securities Act of 1933. The shares may not be sold or
                  transferred in the absence of such registration or an
                  exemption therefrom under said Act."

                  "The shares represented by this certificate have been acquired
                  pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement, dated as of September
                  17, 2003, a copy of which is on file with the Company, and may
                  not be transferred, pledged or disposed of except in
                  accordance with the terms and conditions thereof."

         12. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER OF OPTION SHARES. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Director hereby agrees that he
shall not sell, transfer by any means or otherwise dispose of the Option Shares
acquired by him without registration under the 1933 Act, or in the event that
they are not so registered, unless (i) an exemption from the 1933 Act
registration requirements is available thereunder, and (ii) the Director has
furnished the Company with notice of such proposed transfer and the Company's
legal counsel, in its reasonable opinion, shall deem such proposed transfer to
be so exempt. Further, the Director agrees that he shall abide by all of the
Company's policies in effect at the time he acquires any Option Shares and
thereafter, including the Company's Insider Trading Policy, with respect to the
ownership and trading of the Company's securities.

                      Re:     PURCHASE OF OPTION SHARES

Gentlemen:

             In accordance with my Stock Option Agreement dated as of September
17, 2003 ("Agreement") with Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (the
"Company"), I hereby irrevocably elect to exercise the right to purchase
_________ shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001 per share
("Common Stock"), which are being purchased for investment and not for resale.

             As payment for my shares, enclosed is (check and complete
applicable box[es]):

       [ ]  a [personal check] [certified check] [bank check] payable to the
            order of "Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc." in the sum of
            $_________;

       [ ]  confirmation of wire transfer in the amount of $_____________;
            and/or

       [ ]  certificate for ____ shares of the Company's Common Stock, free and
            clear of any encumbrances, duly endorsed, having a Fair Market Value
            (as such term is defined in the Company's 1999 Performance Equity
            Plan) of $_________.

             I hereby represent, warrant to, and agree with, the Company that:

                  (i) I am acquiring the Option Shares for my own account and
not with a view towards the distribution thereof;

                  (ii) I have received a copy of all reports and documents
required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, within the last 12 months and all
reports issued by the Company to its stockholders;

                  (iii) I understand that I must bear the economic risk of the
investment in the Option Shares, which cannot be sold by me unless they are
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") or an exemption
therefrom is available thereunder and that the Company is under no obligation to
register the Option Shares for sale under the 1933 Act;

<PAGE>

                  (iv) in my position with the Company, I have had both the
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the officers and directors
of the Company and all persons acting on its behalf concerning the terms and
conditions of the offer made hereunder and to obtain any additional information
to the extent the Company possesses or may possess such information or can
acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense necessary to verify the
accuracy of the information obtained pursuant to clause (ii) above;

                  (v) I am aware that the Company shall place stop transfer
orders with its transfer agent against the transfer of the Option Shares in the
absence of registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom as provided
herein;

                  (vi) my rights with respect to the Option Shares shall, in all
respects, be subject to the terms and conditions of this Company's 1999
Performance Equity Plan and this Agreement; and

                  (vii) the certificates evidencing the Option Shares shall bear
the following legends:

                      "The shares represented by this certificate have been
                      acquired for investment and have not been registered under
                      the Securities Act of 1933. The shares may not be sold or
                      transferred in the absence of such registration or an
                      exemption therefrom under said Act."

                      "The shares represented by this certificate have been
                      acquired pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement, dated as of
                      September 17, 2003, a copy of which is on file with the
                      Company, and may not be transferred, pledged or disposed
                      of except in accordance with the terms and conditions
                      thereof."

             Kindly forward to me my certificate at your earliest convenience.

                                       Very truly yours,
