<Page>

         (b) Without notice or demand and without legal process, take possession
of the Collateral wherever found and, for this purpose, enter upon any property
occupied by or in the control of Debtor. Debtor, upon demand by Secured Party,
or any Secured Party, shall assemble the Collateral and deliver it to Secured
Party, or to a place designated by Secured Party, that is reasonably convenient
to both parties;

         (c) Pursue any legal remedy available to collect the Obligations, to
enforce its title in and right to possession of the Collateral and to enforce
any and all other rights or remedies available to it;

         (d) Upon obtaining possession of the Collateral or any part thereof,
after notice to Debtor as provided in Section 3.3, sell such Collateral at
public or private sale either with or without having such Collateral at the
place of sale;

         (e) The proceeds of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral shall
be applied as follows:

                  (i) First, to the payment of the reasonable costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, incurred by
Secured Party in connection with (A) the administration of this Agreement, (B)
the custody, preservation, use of operation of, or the sale of, collection from,
or other realization upon, the Collateral, (C) the exercise or enforcement of
any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder or (D) the failure of Debtor to
perform or observe any of the provisions hereof;

                  (ii) Second, to the payment of the unpaid portion of the
Obligations; and

                  (iii) Third, the surplus proceeds, if any, to Debtor or to
whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
competent jurisdiction shall direct; and

         (f) Secured Party and its affiliates, so far as may be lawful, may
purchase all or any part of the Collateral offered at any public or private sale
made in the enforcement of Secured Party's rights and remedies hereunder.

3.3 Notice of Sale and Foreclosure Sale. Secured Party shall give to Debtor
notice of any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral as
required by law. Debtor agrees that notice and demand shall be deemed to be
commercially reasonable and effective if such notice is given to Debtor at least
ten Business Days prior to such sale or other disposition in the manner provided
herein for the giving of notices. At any sale hereunder by Secured Party or
pursuant to a judicial decree, the Collateral may be sold as a unit or in
parcels, at Secured Party's sole discretion, and Secured Party may be the
purchaser at any such sale and hold said properties and rights thereafter free
from claim of Debtor. At any such sale it shall not be necessary, and Debtor
hereby waives any right to require, that the Collateral be present at the sale
or in view of the prospective purchasers or that the person conducting the sale
have actual physical possession thereof, and Debtor agrees that all of Debtor's
interest in the Collateral wheresoever located, shall pass upon such sale with
like effect as if the same were present and in the possession of the person

                                       5

<Page>

conducting such sale and were physically delivered to the purchaser at such
sale. Debtor further agrees that the possession of Debtor of the Collateral or
any of the same shall be deemed the possession of the person conducting such
sale. The recitals in any judicial decree or Certificate of Sale made
thereunder, shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness of any matters or
facts stated therein, whether set forth in specific or general terms or as
conclusions of law or fact. There shall be deducted from the proceeds of any
such sale all costs and expenses incurred therein, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and commissions, and the net proceeds thereof shall be paid to
Secured Party for application on the Obligations, the surplus, if any, to be
paid to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

3.4 Costs and Expenses. Debtor shall pay all costs and expenses, including
without limitation, costs of Uniform Commercial Code searches, court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees and expert witness fees, incurred by Secured Party in
enforcing payment and performance of the Obligations or in exercising the rights
and remedies of Secured Party hereunder. All such costs and expenses shall be
secured by this Agreement and all other lien and security documents securing the
Obligations. In the event of any court proceedings, court costs and attorneys'
fees shall be set by the court and not by jury and shall be included in any
judgment obtained by Secured Party.

3.5 Uniform Commercial Code. In addition to the remedies provided herein, in an
Event of Default, Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies afforded
a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and all other legal and
equitable remedies allowed under applicable law. No failure on the part of
Secured Party to exercise any of their rights hereunder arising upon any Event
of Default shall be construed to prejudice its rights upon the occurrence of any
other or subsequent Event of Default. No delay on the part of Secured Party in
exercising any such rights shall be construed to preclude it from the exercise
thereof at any time while that Event of Default is continuing. Secured Party may
enforce any one or more remedies or rights hereunder successively or
concurrently. By accepting payment or performance of any of the obligations
after its due date, Secured Party shall not thereby waive the agreement
contained herein that time is of the essence, its right to require prompt
payment or performance when due of the remainder of the Obligations, or its
right to consider the failure to so pay or perform an Event of Default.

SECTION 4.        MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

4.1 Other Security. The acceptance of this Agreement by Secured Party shall not
be considered a waiver of or in any way to affect or impair any other security
that Secured Party may have, acquire simultaneously herewith, or hereafter
acquire (including, without limitation, as additional collateral pursuant to
each Mortgage of Copyright and Security Agreement referred to in Section 1.1
hereof), for the payment or performance of the Obligations and the taking by
Secured Party at any time of any such additional security shall not be construed
as a waiver of or in any way to affect or impair the Security Interest. Secured
Party may resort, for the payment or performance of the Obligations, to any
collateral in such order and manner as it may determine.

                                 ---------------

         This INVESTOR Rights Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered
into as of June 25, 2002 by and between FIRST LOOK MEDIA, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and SEVEN HILLS PICTURES, LLC., a Connecticut
limited liability company (the "Purchaser"), with reference to the following
facts.

                                    RECITALS:

         A. The Company and the Purchaser have entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 20, 2002 (the "Purchase Agreement"),
pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell and issue, and the Purchaser
has agreed to purchase 2,630,434 shares (the "Purchased Shares") of the common
stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"), warrants (the
"Warrants") to purchase up to 1,172,422 shares of Common Stock and a Secured
Convertible Promissory Note due June 25, 2008 of the Company in the principal
amount of $2,000,000 (the "Note"), which is convertible into shares of Common
Stock as provided therein.

         B. In connection with, and as a condition to, the Purchaser's purchase
of the Purchased Shares, the Warrants and the Note pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the Company has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

                                   AGREEMENT:

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants,
and conditions contained herein, the Company and the Purchaser hereby agree as
follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

         As used herein:

         (a) The term "Holders" means the Purchaser and all permitted assignees
of the Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.11. Reference to a "Holder" means
any of the Holders.

         (b) The terms "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in
compliance with the Securities Act (as defined below) and the applicable rules
and regulations thereunder, and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness
of such registration statement.

         (c) For the purposes hereof, the term "Registrable Shares" means and
includes (i) the Purchased Shares, (ii) the shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, (iii) the shares of Common Stock issued
or issuable upon conversion of the Note and (iv) any shares of Common Stock
issued, or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or
other security which is issued, as a result of a stock split, dividend or other
distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of the shares
referenced in (i), (ii) and (iii) above, excluding in all cases, however, any
Registrable Shares transferred or sold by a Holder in a transaction in which his
or her rights under Section 2 are not assigned.

<Page>

         (d) The term "Securities Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

SECTION 2. REGISTRATION RIGHTS

2.1 "Piggyback" Registration.

         (a) If at any time the Company shall determine to file a registration
statement under the Securities Act (including pursuant to a demand of any
stockholder of the Company exercising registration rights other than pursuant to
Section 2.2 ) any of its Common Stock (other than a registration statement on
Form S-4 or S-8 (or any form substituting therefor) relating to an exchange
offer or an offer and sale of securities solely to existing stockholders or
employees of the Company), it shall send to each Holder written notice of such
determination and, if within 15 days after receipt of such notice, such Holder
shall so request in writing, the Company shall use its best efforts to include
in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Shares the
Holder requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any
offering involving an underwriting of Common Stock to be issued by the Company,
the underwriter shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common
Stock included in any such registration statement because, in such underwriter's
judgment, such limitation is necessary based on market conditions, the number of
Registrable Shares and any shares of Common Stock owned by other stockholders to
be included in the registration statement shall be allocated among the Holders
of Registrable Shares and such stockholders pro rata, based on the number of
such Registrable Shares and shares of Common Stock held by each such Holder and
stockholder.

         (b) All Holders proposing to distribute Registrable Shares pursuant to
this Section 2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
with the underwriter, if any. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of such
underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to
the Company and the underwriter. No incidental right under this Section 2.1
shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 2.2.

         (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, the
Company shall have no further obligations under this Section 2.1 after the
Holders have been afforded the opportunity in accordance with paragraph (a) of
this Section 2.1 to include Registrable Shares in two registrations under the
Securities Act; provided, however, that the second such registration shall not
be counted as a registration for purposes of this limitation if, in connection
with such registration, the number of Registrable Shares to be included is cut
back by the underwriter as permitted in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.1 such
that the number of Registrable Shares included in such registration, when added
to the number of Registrable Shares included in the first of such registrations
under this Section 2.1, is less than all of Registrable Shares that the Holders
requested be included in both such registrations.

                                       2
<Page>

2.2      Demand Registration.

         (a) Subject to Section 2.13, on one occasion on or after June 25, 2004,
a Holder or Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Shares may require
the Company to register such Holder's or Holders' Registrable Shares under the
Securities Act. Such Holder or Holders shall notify the Company in writing that
it or they intend to offer or cause to be offered for public sale of all or any
portion of the Registrable Shares, and within 15 days of its receipt of such
notice, the Company will so notify all Holders of Registrable Shares. Upon
written request of any Holder given within 15 days after the such Holder's
receipt of the Company's notification, the Company will use its best efforts to
cause all or any part of the Registrable Shares that may be requested by any
Holder thereof (including the Holder or Holders giving the initial notice of
intent to offer (each, an "Initiating Holder" and, collectively, the "Initiating
Holders")) to be registered under the Securities Act as expeditiously as
possible.

         (b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable
Shares covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so
advise the Company as part of their request and the Company shall include such
information in the written notice referred to above. If the Initiating Holders
intend not to distribute the Registrable Shares by means of an underwriting, as
a condition to the Company's obligations under this Section 2.2 to register a
Holder's Registrable Shares, such Holder shall agree, in writing, not to sell
during any 90-day period following the effectiveness of such registration a
number of Registrable Shares that exceeds the greater of (i) 25% of such
Holder's Registrable Shares included in such registration or (ii) 5% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the effectiveness of such registration.

         (c) The underwriter shall be selected by the Initiating Holder or
Initiating Holders who hold a majority of the Registrable Shares held by the
Initiating Holders and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. In such
event, the right of any Holder to include his or her Registrable Shares in such
registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Shares in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute
Registrable Shares through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the underwriters selected for such
underwriting.

         (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the underwriter advises the
Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the
number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise
all Holders of Registrable Shares which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant
hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Shares that may be included in
the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the
Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of
Registrable Shares of the Company owned by each Holder; provided, however, that
the number of Registrable Shares to be included in such underwriting shall not
be reduced unless all other securities other than those proposed to be sold by
the Holders are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.

                                       3
<Page>

         (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated
pursuant to this Section 2.2 to effect, or to take any action to effect, any
registration (i) after the Company has effected a registration pursuant to this
Section 2.2 and such registration has been declared or ordered effective, (ii)
during the period beginning 60 days prior to the Company's estimated date of
filing of, and ending 180 days after the effective date of a registration
statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act (other than a
registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a
Company employee benefit or stock option plan), provided that the Company is
actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective, (iii) if the Initiating Holders
propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Shares that may be immediately
registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.3, (iv)
in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute
a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in
such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act, or (v) if
the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman
of the Board of the Company stating that in the good-faith judgment of the Board
of Directors of the Company it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or
its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future,
then the Company's obligations under this Section 2.2 shall be deferred for a
period not to exceed 90 days from the date of receipt of the written
registration request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the
Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any 12-month period. Upon
effectiveness of a registration statement filed under this Section 2.2 and
otherwise complying with this Agreement, no Holder (whether or not such Holder
elected to include Registrable Shares in such registration statement) shall have
any right to make any further demand for registration under this Section 2.2.

2.3 Registration on Form S-3. In case the Company shall receive from a Holder or
Holders of at least 20% of the Registrable Shares a written request or requests
that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any similar form
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) of all or a part of the
Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

         (a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any
related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and

         (b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's or
Holders' Registrable Shares as are specified in such request, together with all
or such portion of the Registrable Shares of any other Holder or Holders joining
in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15 days after
receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or
compliance, pursuant to this Section 2.3: (1) if Form S-3 is not available for
such offering by the Holders or the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3 for
such offering by the Holders; (2) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a
certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of the Company stating that in
the good-faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3
Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have
the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a
period of not more than 90 days after receipt of the request of the Holder or
Holders under this Section 2.3; provided, however, that the Company shall not
utilize this right more than once in any 12-month period; (3) if the Holders are
otherwise eligible to sell all of their Registrable Shares within a 90-day
period under Rule 144 of the Securities Act; (4) if the Company has already
effected two registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section
2.3; or (5) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of
process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.

         (c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration
statement covering the Registrable Shares and other securities so requested to
be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of
the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be
counted as a demand for registration effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2.

2.4 Holder Information. In connection with any registration statement which
covers any Registrable Shares of a Holder, such Holder shall furnish to the
Company in writing such information and affidavits with respect to such Holder
as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with such registration
statement. A Holder's compliance with its obligations in this Section 2.4 shall
be a condition precedent to the Company's obligations hereunder with respect to
such Holder's Registrable Shares.

2.5 Effectiveness. The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the
effectiveness for up to 90 days of any registration statement pursuant to which
any of the Registrable Shares are being offered; provided, however, that: (i)
such 90-day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period
the Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at
the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the
Company and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Shares on Form
S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such
90-day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration
statement effective until the earlier to occur of (A) three months following the
effectiveness of the registration statement, or (B) the date that all such
Registrable Shares are sold, provided that Rule 415 promulgated under the
Securities Act, or any successor rule under the Securities Act, permits an
offering on a continuous or delayed basis, and provided further that applicable
rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective
amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment which (A)
includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or
(B) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in
the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by
reference of information required to be included in (A) and (B) above to be
contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in the
registration statement. The Company will from time to time amend or supplement
such registration statement and the prospectus contained therein as and to the
extent necessary to comply with the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities statute or regulation.

                                       5

2.6      Indemnification.

         (a) Indemnification of the Holders. In the event that the Company
registers any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the Company
will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each underwriter of the
Registrable Shares so registered (including any broker or dealer through whom
such shares may be sold) and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or
any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or any
action in respect thereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them
become subject under the Securities Act or under any other statute or at common
law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse each such
Holder, each such underwriter and each such controlling person, if any, for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them or any of them, as such
expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any actions
whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
registration statement, in any preliminary or amended preliminary prospectus or
in the prospectus (or the registration statement or prospectus as from time to
time amended or supplemented); (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; or
(iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, a
state securities law or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or any state securities law; provided, however, that the indemnity
contained in this Section 2.6(a) will not apply where such untrue statement or
omission was made in such registration statement, preliminary or amended
preliminary prospectus or prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such
Holder of Registrable Shares, any such underwriter or any such controlling
person (or any of their representatives, agents or employees) expressly for use
therein. Promptly after receipt by any Holder of Registrable Shares, any
underwriter or any controlling person of notice of the commencement of any
action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such
Holder of Registrable Shares, or such underwriter or such controlling person, as
the case may be, will notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof,
and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, the Company shall assume the
defense of such action (including the employment of counsel, who shall be
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Holder of Registrable Shares, such
underwriter or such controlling person, as the case may be), and the payment of
expenses insofar as such action shall relate to any alleged liability in respect
of which indemnity may be sought against the Company. Such Holder of Registrable
Shares, any such underwriter or any such controlling person shall have the right
to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense
thereof in the event the representation of such Holder, underwriter or
controlling person by counsel retained by or on the behalf of the Company would
be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest between any such person and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or action, in which
case the Company shall pay, as incurred, the fees and expenses of such separate
counsel. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any person under this
Section 2.6(a) for any settlement of any such action effected without the
Company's consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The
Company shall not, except with the approval of each party being indemnified
under this Section 2.6(a) (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld),
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to the parties being so indemnified of a release from all liability in respect
to such claim or litigation.

                                       6
<Page>

         (b) Indemnification of the Company. In the event that the Company
registers any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, each Holder of
the Registrable Shares so registered will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
registration statement, each underwriter of the Registrable Shares so registered
(including any broker or dealer through whom any of such shares may be sold) and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
expenses or liabilities (or any action in respect thereof), joint or several, to
which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or under
any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter
provided, will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer,
underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them or any of them, as such expenses are incurred, in connection
with investigating or defending any actions whether or not resulting in any
liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or
actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, in any
preliminary or amended preliminary prospectus or in the prospectus (or the
registration statement or prospectus as from time to time amended or
supplemented) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein not misleading, but only insofar as any
such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such
Holder or any of its representatives expressly for use therein; provided,
however, that such Holder's obligations hereunder shall be limited to an amount
equal to the proceeds to such Holder of the Registrable Shares sold in such
registration. Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action
in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Holder of Registrable
Shares, the Company will notify such Holder of Registrable Shares in writing of
the commencement thereof, and such Holder of Registrable Shares shall, subject
to the provisions hereinafter stated, assume the defense of such action
(including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel satisfactory to the
Company) and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to the
alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such
Holder of Registrable Shares. The Company and each such director, officer,
underwriter or controlling person shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof in the
event the representation of the Company, any of its officers or directors or any
underwriter or controlling person by counsel retained by or on the behalf of
such Holder would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest between any such
person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or
action, in which case such Holder shall pay, as incurred, the fees and expenses
of such separate counsel. Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, if the
action is one in which the Company may be obligated to indemnify any Holder of
Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2.5(a), the Company shall have the right
to assume the defense of such action, subject to the right of such Holders to
participate therein as permitted by Section 2.5(a). Such Holder shall not be
liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such action effected
without such Holder's consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Such Holder shall not, except with the approval of the Company (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the party being so
indemnified of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation.

                                       7
<Page>

2.7 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 2.6 is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with
respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein,
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim,
damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

2.8 Exchange Act Requirements. With a view to making available to the Holders
the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule
or regulation of the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that may at any
time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration, the Company agrees to:

         (a) use its best efforts to make and keep public information available,
as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

         (b) use its best efforts to continue in effect the registration of
Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act;

         (c) file on a timely basis with the SEC all information that the SEC
may require under either of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and,
so long as it is required to file such information, take all action that may be
required as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 (or any successor
exemptive rule hereinafter in effect) with respect to Common Stock; and

         (d) furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written
statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of
Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company as filed with the SEC, and (iii) any other reports and documents that a
Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of
the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such Registrable Shares without
registration.

                                       8
<Page>

2.9 Further Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company is required
hereunder to register Registrable Shares, it agrees that it shall also do the
following:

         (a) Furnish to each selling Holder such copies of each preliminary and
final prospectus and any other documents that such Holder may reasonably request
to facilitate the public offering of its Registrable Shares;

         (b) Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares
to be registered pursuant to this Agreement under the applicable securities or
"blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as any selling Holder may reasonably
request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take
any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits other than
those arising out of the offer or sale of the securities covered by the
registration statement in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

         (c) Notify each Holder of Registrable Shares covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a result
of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

         (d) Cause all such Registrable Shares registered pursuant hereunder to
be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed;

         (e) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Shares
registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable
Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

         (f) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating
in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under
such an agreement;

         (g) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of
Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2, on the date that such Registrable
Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a
registration pursuant to this Section 2, if such securities are being sold
through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through
underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such
securities becomes effective:

                  (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing
the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is
customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed
to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of
Registrable Shares; and

                  (ii) "comfort" letters signed by the Company's independent
public accountants who have examined and reported on the Company's financial
statements included in the registration statement, to the extent permitted by
the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
covering substantially the same matters with respect to the registration
statement (and the prospectus included therein) and (in the case of the
accountants' "comfort" letters) with respect to events subsequent to the date of
the financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's
counsel and in accountants' "comfort" letters delivered to the underwriters in
underwritten public offerings of securities, but only if and to the extent that
the Company is required to deliver or cause the delivery of such opinion or
"comfort" letters to the underwriters in an underwritten public offering of
securities;

                                       9
<Page>

         (h) Permit each selling Holder or his or her counsel or other
representatives to inspect and copy such corporate documents and records as may
reasonably be requested by them; and

         (i) Furnish to each selling Holder, upon request, a copy of all
documents filed and all correspondence from or to the SEC in connection with any
such offering unless confidential treatment of such information has been
requested of the SEC.

2.10 Expenses. In the case of a registration under Section 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3, the
Company shall bear all costs and expenses of each such registration, including,
but not limited to, printing, legal and accounting expenses, SEC filing fees and
"blue sky" fees and expenses; provided, however, that the Company shall have no
obligation to pay or otherwise bear (i) any portion of the fees or disbursements
of counsel for the Holders in connection with the registration of their
Registrable Shares, (ii) any portion of the underwriter's commissions or
discounts, expense allowance or fees or stock transfer taxes attributable to the
Registrable Shares being offered and sold by the Holders of Registrable Shares,
or (iii) any of such expenses if the payment of such expenses by the Company is
prohibited by the laws of a state in which such offering is qualified and only
to the extent so prohibited; and provided further, that, in the event any
registration under the Securities Act is initiated by any Holders of Registrable
Shares pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 and such registration is thereafter
withdrawn or terminated by such holders for reasons other than the occurrence of
one or more events regarding the Company, which event or events may have a
material adverse affect upon the business, financial condition or results of
operations of the Company, and such Holders learn of such event or events after
the date of the demand for registration and prior to the date of withdrawal or
termination by them and such withdrawal or termination occurs with reasonable
promptness thereafter, then the Company shall have no obligation to pay or
otherwise bear any fees, expenses or other costs arising out of or relating to
such registration, unless, in the case of a registration under Section 2.2, such
Holders relinquish their right to a demand registration under such section.

2.11 Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights of a Holder of
Registrable Shares under this Agreement may be transferred and assigned to a
transferee of any of Registrable Shares, provided the transferee agrees in
connection therewith to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Company
is given written notice of such transfer.

2.12 No Other Rights. The Company will not grant registration rights to any
person or entity that are superior to the rights granted hereunder without first
obtaining the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Shares.

                                       10
<Page>

2.13 Market Stand-Off Agreement. Provided that all Holders are treated equally
and all officers and directors of the Company are also so bound, no Holder
shall, to the extent requested by any managing underwriter of the Company, sell
or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be
similarly bound) any Registrable Shares during a period (the "Stand-Off Period")
not to exceed 120 days following the effective date of a registration statement
of any offering of the Company under the Securities Act (or in each case such
shorter period as the Company or managing underwriter may authorize), and except
in each case, for securities sold as part of the offering covered by such
registration statement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In
order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stock transfer
restrictions with respect to the Registrable Shares of each Holder until the end
of the Stand-Off Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations
described in this Section 2.13 shall not apply to a registration relating solely
to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be
promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145
transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.

2.14 Termination of Registration Rights. The obligations of the Company to
register any Holder's Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2 shall
terminate as to such Holder upon (i) the date seven years after the date of this
Agreement or (ii) earlier if all of a Holder's Registrable Shares may be sold
under Rule 144 during any 90-day period.

SECTION 3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

3.1 Basic Financial Information and Reporting.

         (a) The Company will maintain true books and records of account in
which full and correct entries will be made of all its business transactions
pursuant to a system of accounting established and administered in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and will set
aside on its books all such proper accruals and reserves as shall be required
under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

         (b) As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company, and in any event within 90 days thereafter, the Company will furnish
the Purchaser with a consolidated balance sheet of the Company, as at the end of
such fiscal year, and a consolidated statement of income and a consolidated
statement of cash flows of the Company, for such year, all prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
and setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous
fiscal year, all in reasonable detail. Such financial statements shall be
accompanied by a report and opinion thereon by independent public accountants of
national standing selected by the Company's Board of Directors.

                                       11
<Page>

(c) The Company will furnish the Purchaser, as soon as practicable after the end
of the first, second and third quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal year
of the Company, and in any event within 45 days thereafter, a consolidated
balance sheet of the Company as of the end of each such quarterly period, and a
consolidated statement of income and a consolidated statement of cash flows of
the Company for such period and for the current fiscal year to date, prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, with the exception
that no notes need be attached to such statements and year-end audit adjustments
may not have been made.

3.2 Inspections Rights. The Purchaser shall have the right to visit and inspect
any of the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and to discuss
the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
with its officers, and to review such information as is reasonable requested all
at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this Section 3.2 with
respect to a competitor of the Company or with respect to information which the
Board of Directors determines in good faith is confidential and should not,
therefore, be disclosed.

3.3 Confidentiality of Records. The Purchaser agrees to use, and to use its best
efforts to insure that its authorized representatives use, the same degree of
care as the Purchaser uses to protect its own confidential information to keep
confidential any information furnished to it which the Company identifies as
being confidential or proprietary (so long as such information is not in the
public domain), except that the Purchaser may disclose such proprietary or
confidential information to any officer, director, manager, adviser or agent of
the Purchaser for the purpose of evaluating its investment in the Company as
long as such officer, director, manager, adviser or agent is advised of the
confidentiality provisions of this Section 3.3.

any Holder of Registrable Shares vis a vis the other Holders of Registrable
Shares without the written consent of such affected Holder.
