     2.2   CONDITIONS TO EACH EXTENSION OF CREDIT

     Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Financing Agreement, the
agreement of CIT to make any extension of credit requested to be made by it to
the Borrowers on any date (including without limitation, the initial extension
of credit) is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

     (a)   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES - Each of the representations and
warranties made by the Borrowers in or pursuant to this Financing Agreement
shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if
made on and as of such date.
     (b)   NO DEFAULT - No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing on such date or after giving effect to the extension of credit
requested to be made on such date.
     (c)   BORROWING BASE - Except as may be otherwise agreed to from time to
time by CIT and the Borrowers in writing and except for the consensual
Overadvances made pursuant to Section 3.1, after giving effect to the extension
of credit requested to be made by the Borrowers on such date, the aggregate
outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans owing by the Borrowers will not
exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line of Credit or (ii) the Borrowing
Base.

Each borrowing by the Borrowers hereunder shall constitute a representation and
warranty by the Borrowers as of the date of such loan or advance that each of
the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Financing
Agreement have been satisfied and are true and correct, except as the Borrowers
and CIT shall otherwise agree herein or in a separate writing.

SECTION 3.  REVOLVING LOANS

     3.1   CIT agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Financing
Agreement, from time to time (but subject to CIT's right to make
"Overadvances"), to make loans and advances to the Borrowers on a revolving
basis (i.e. subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Borrowers may
borrow, repay and re-borrow Revolving Loans). Such requests for loans and
advances shall

                                       12
<Page>

be in amounts not to exceed the lesser of (a) the Availability or (b) the
Revolving Line of Credit. All requests for loans and advances must be received
by an officer of CIT no later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, of the Business Day
on which any such Chase Bank Rate Loans and advances are required. Should CIT
for any reason honor requests for Overadvances, any such Overadvances shall be
made in CIT's sole discretion and subject to any additional terms CIT deems
necessary.

     3.2   In furtherance of the continuing assignment and security interest in
each Borrower's Accounts, each Borrower will, upon the creation of Accounts,
execute and deliver to CIT in such form and manner as CIT may reasonably
require, solely for CIT's convenience in maintaining records of Collateral, such
confirmatory schedules of Accounts as CIT may reasonably request, including,
without limitation, daily schedules of Accounts, all in form and substance
satisfactory to CIT, and such other appropriate reports designating, identifying
and describing the Accounts as CIT may reasonably request, and provided further
that CIT may request any such information more frequently, from time to time,
upon its reasonable prior request. In addition, each Borrower shall provide CIT
with copies of agreements with, or purchase orders from, such Borrower's
customers, and copies of invoices to customers, proof of shipment or delivery,
access to its computers, electronic media and software programs associated
therewith (including any electronic records, contracts and signatures) and such
other documentation and information relating to said Accounts and other
Collateral as CIT may reasonably require. Failure to provide CIT with any of the
foregoing shall in no way affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit the
security interests granted herein. Each Borrower hereby authorizes CIT to regard
such Borrower's printed name or rubber stamp signature on assignment schedules
or invoices as the equivalent of a manual signature by one of such Borrower's
authorized officers or agents.

     3.3   Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants that: each Trade Account
Receivable is based on an actual and bona fide sale and delivery of Inventory or
rendition of services to customers made by each Borrower in the ordinary course
of its business; the Inventory being sold, and the Trade Accounts Receivable
created, are the exclusive property of the applicable Borrower and are not and
shall not be subject to any lien, consignment arrangement, encumbrance, security
interest or financing statement whatsoever, other than the Permitted
Encumbrances; the invoices evidencing such Trade Accounts Receivable are in the
name of the applicable Borrower; and the customers of such Borrower have
accepted the Inventory or services, owe and are obligated to pay the full
amounts stated in the invoices according to their terms, without dispute,
offset, defense, counterclaim or contra, except for disputes and other matters
arising in the ordinary course of business with respect to which such Borrower
has complied with the notification requirements of Paragraph 3.5 of this Section
3. Each Borrower confirms to CIT that any and all Taxes or fees relating to its
business, its sales, the Accounts or Inventory relating thereto, are its sole
responsibility and that same will be paid by each Borrower when due, subject to
Paragraph 7.6 of Section 6 of this Financing Agreement, and that none of said
Taxes or fees represent a lien on or claim agianst the Accounts. Each Borrower
hereby further represents and warrants that it shall not acquire any Inventory
on a consignment basis, not co-mingle its Inventory with any of it customers or
any other person, including pursuant to any bill and hold sale or otherwise, and
that its Inventory is marketable to its customers in the ordinary course of
business of such Borrower, except as it may otherwise report in writing to CIT
pursuant to Paragraph 3.5 hereof from time to time. Each Borrower also warrants
and

                                       13
<Page>

represents that it is a duly and validly existing corporation and is qualified
in all states where the failure to so qualify would have an adverse effect on
the business of such Borrower or the ability of such Borrower to enforce
collection of Accounts due from customers residing in that state. Each Borrower
agrees to maintain such books and records regarding Accounts and Inventory as
CIT may reasonably require and agrees that the books and records of such
Borrower will reflect CIT's interest in the Accounts. All of the books and
records of each Borrower will be available to CIT at normal business hours,
including any records handled or maintained for each Borrower by any other
company or entity.

     3.4   (a) Until CIT has advised the Borrowers to the contrary after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, each Borrower, at its expense, will enforce,
collect and receive all amounts owing on the Accounts in the ordinary course of
its business and any proceeds it so receives shall be subject to the terms
hereof, and held on behalf of and in trust for CIT. Such privilege shall
terminate at the election of CIT, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
Any checks, cash, credit card sales and receipts, notes or other instruments or
property received by any Borrower with respect to any Collateral, including
Accounts, shall be held by such Borrower in trust for CIT, separate from such
Borrower's own property and funds, and promptly turned over to CIT with proper
assignments or endorsements by deposit to the Depository Accounts. Each Borrower
shall: (i) indicate on all of its invoices that funds should be delivered to and
deposited in a Depository Account; (ii) direct all of its account debtors to
deposit any and all proceeds of Collateral into the Depository Accounts; (iii)
irrevocably authorize and direct any banks which maintain such Borrower's
initial receipt of cash, checks and other items to promptly wire transfer all
available funds to a Depository Account; and (iv) advise all such banks of CIT's
security interest in such funds. Each Borrower shall provide CIT with prior
written notice of any and all deposit accounts opened or to be opened subsequent
to the Closing Date. Subject to Collection Days, all amounts received by CIT in
payment of Accounts will be credited to the Revolving Loan Account when CIT is
advised by its bank of its receipt of "collected funds" at CIT's bank account in
New York, New York on the Business Day of such advise if advised no later than
1:00 p.m. EST or on the next succeeding Business Day if so advised after 1:00 PM
EST. No checks, drafts or other instrument received by CIT shall constitute
final payment to CIT unless and until such instruments have actually been
collected.

     (b)   Each Borrower shall establish and maintain, in its name and at its
expense, lockbox and deposit accounts with such banks as are acceptable to CIT
(the "Blocked Accounts") into which such Borrower shall promptly cause to be
deposited: (i) all proceeds of Collateral received by such Borrowers including
all amounts payable to such Borrower from credit card issuers and credit card
processors, and (ii) all amounts on deposit in deposit accounts used by such
Borrower at each of its locations, all as further provided in Paragraph 3.4(a)
above. The banks at which the Blocked Accounts are established shall enter into
an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to CIT (the "Blocked Account
Agreements"), providing that all cash, checks and items received or deposited in
the Blocked Accounts are the property of CIT, that the depository bank has no
lien upon, or right of set off against, the Blocked Accounts and any cash,
checks, items, wires or other funds from time to time on deposit therein, except
as otherwise provided in the Blocked Account Agreements, and that automatically,
on a daily basis the depository bank will wire, or otherwise transfer, in
immediately available funds, all funds received or deposited into the Blocked
Accounts to such bank account as CIT may from time to time designate for

                                       14
<Page>

such purpose. Each Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that all amounts
deposited in such Blocked Accounts and any other funds received and collected by
CIT, whether as proceeds of other Collateral or otherwise, shall be the property
of CIT.

     3.5   Each Borrower agrees to notify CIT: (a) of any matters affecting the
value, enforceability or collectibility of any Account and of all customer
disputes, offsets, defenses, counterclaims, returns, rejections and all
reclaimed or repossessed merchandise or goods, in its daily and monthly
collateral reports (as applicable) provided to CIT hereunder, in such detail and
format as CIT may reasonably require from time to time; and (b) promptly of any
such matters which (i) are material, as a whole, to the Accounts, or (ii) which
adversely affect the value of any Account in an amount of $25,000 or more. Each
Borrower agrees to issue credit memoranda promptly (with duplicates to be
immediately forwarded to CIT) upon accepting returns or granting allowances.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which is not waived in writing by
CIT) and on notice from CIT, the Borrowers agree that all returned, reclaimed or
repossessed merchandise or goods shall be set aside by the Borrowers, marked
with CIT's name (as secured party) and held by the Borrowers for CIT's account.

     3.6   CIT shall maintain a Revolving Loan Account on its book in which the
Borrowers will be charged with all loans and advances made by CIT to them or for
their account, and with any other Obligations, including any and all costs,
expenses and reasonable attorney's fees which CIT may incur in connection with
the exercise by or for CIT of any of the rights or powers herein conferred upon
CIT, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding to enforce or
protect any rights of CIT in connection with this Financing Agreement, the other
Loan Documents or the Collateral assigned hereunder, or any Obligations owing by
the Borrowers. The Borrowers will be credited with all amounts received by CIT
from the Borrowers or from others for the Borrowers' account, including, as
above set forth, all amounts received by CIT in payment of Accounts, and such
amounts will be applied to payment of the Obligations as set forth herein. In no
event shall prior recourse to any Accounts or other security granted to or by
the Borrowers be a prerequisite to CIT's right to demand payment of any
Obligation. Further, it is understood that CIT shall have no obligation
whatsoever to perform in any respect any of any Borrower's contracts or
obligations relating to the Accounts.

     3.7   After the end of each month, CIT shall promptly send the Borrowers a
statement showing the accounting for the charges, loans, advances and other
transactions occurring between CIT and the Borrowers during that month. The
monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon the Borrowers and
shall constitute an account stated between the Borrowers and CIT unless CIT
receives a written statement of the exceptions within thirty (30) days of the
date of the monthly statement.

     3.8   Subject to the terms and provisions regarding consensual Overadvances
made pursuant to Section 3.1, in the event that any requested advance exceeds
Availability or that the outstanding balance of Revolving Loans exceeds (b)(x)
the Borrowing Base or (y) the Revolving Line of Credit, any such Overadvance
shall be due and payable to CIT immediately upon CIT's demand therefor.

SECTION 5.  INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

SECTION 6.  COLLATERAL

     6.1   As security for the prompt payment in full of all Obligations, each
Borrower hereby pledges and grants to CIT a continuing general lien upon, and
security interest in, all of its:

     (a) Accounts;

     (b) General Intangibles;

     (c) Documents of Title; and

     (d) Other Collateral.

     6.2   The security interests granted hereunder shall extend and attach to
all Collateral which is owned by any Borrower or in which any Borrower has any
interest, whether held by any Borrower or others for its account; and

     6.3   Each Borrower hereby agrees to immediately forward any and all
proceeds of Collateral to the Depository Account, and to hold any such proceeds
(including any notes and instruments), in trust for CIT pending delivery to CIT.

     6.4   The rights and security interests granted to CIT hereunder are to
continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this
Financing Agreement or the fact that the Revolving Loan Account may from time to
time be temporarily in a credit position, until the final payment in full to CIT
of all Obligations and the termination of this Financing Agreement. Any delay,
or omission by CIT to exercise any right hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver
thereof, or be deemed a waiver of any other right, unless such waiver shall be
in writing and signed by CIT. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to, or waiver of, any right or remedy on any future occasion.

     6.5   Notwithstanding CIT's security interest in the Collateral and to the
extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by any assets or
property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement, assets or
property of any other person, CIT shall have the right in its sole discretion to
determine which rights, liens, security interests or remedies CIT shall at any
time pursue, foreclose upon, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other
action with respect to, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them,
or any of CIT's rights hereunder.

     6.6   Any balances to the credit of any Borrower and any other property or
assets of any Borrower in the possession or control of CIT may be held by CIT as
security for any Obligations and applied in whole or partial satisfaction of
such Obligations when due. The liens and security interests granted herein, and
any other lien or security interest CIT may have in any other assets of any
Borrower, shall secure payment and performance of all now existing and future

                                       16
<Page>

Obligations. CIT may in its discretion charge any or all of the Obligations to
the Revolving Loan Account when due.

     6.7   Each Borrower possesses all General Intangibles and rights thereto
necessary to conduct its business as conducted as of the Closing Date and each
Borrower shall maintain its rights in, and the value of, the foregoing in the
ordinary course of its business, including, without limitation, by making timely
payment with respect to any applicable licensed rights. Each Borrower shall
deliver to CIT, and/or shall cause the appropriate party to deliver to CIT, from
time to time such pledge or security agreements with respect to General
Intangibles (now or hereafter acquired) of each Borrower and its subsidiaries as
CIT shall require to obtain valid first liens thereon. In furtherance of the
foregoing, each Borrower shall provide timely notice to CIT of any additional
Patents, Trademarks, tradenames, service marks, Copyrights, brand names, trade
names, logos and other trade designations acquired or applied for subsequent to
the Closing Date and each Borrower shall execute such documentation as CIT may
reasonably require to obtain and perfect its lien thereon.

SECTION 7.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

     7.1   Each Borrower warrants, and represents that: (i) Schedule 1 hereto
correctly and completely sets forth each Borrower's (A) chief executive office,
(B) Collateral locations, (C) tradenames, and (D) all the other information
listed on said Schedule; (ii) except for the Permitted Encumbrances, after
filing of financing statements in the applicable filing clerks office at the
locations set forth in Schedule 1, this Financing Agreement creates a valid,
perfected and first priority security interest in the Collateral and the
security interests granted herein constitute and shall at all times constitute
the first and only liens on the Collateral; (iii) except for the Permitted
Encumbrances, each Borrower is, or will be, at the time additional Collateral is
acquired by it, the absolute owner of the Collateral with full right to pledge,
sell, consign, transfer and create a security interest therein, free and clear
of any and all claims or liens in favor of others; (iv) each Borrower will, at
its expense, forever warrant and, at CIT's request, defend the same from any and
all claims and demands of any other person other than a holder of a Permitted
Encumbrance; (v) each Borrower will not grant, create or permit to exist, any
lien upon, or security interest in, the Collateral, or any proceeds thereof, in
favor of any other person other than the holders of the Permitted Encumbrances;
and (vi) the Equipment is and will only be used by each Borrower in its business
and will not be held for sale or lease, or removed from its premises, or
otherwise disposed of by each Borrower except as otherwise permitted in this
Financing Agreement.

     7.2   Each Borrower agrees to maintain books and records pertaining to the
Collateral in accordance with GAAP and in such additional detail, form and scope
as CIT shall reasonably require. Each Borrower agrees that CIT or its agents may
enter upon each Borrower's premises at any time during normal business hours,
and from time to time in its reasonable business judgement, for the purpose of
inspecting the Collateral and any and all records pertaining thereto. Each
Borrower irrevocably authorizes all accountants and third parties (other than
its attorneys) to disclose and deliver directly to CIT, at the Borrowers'
expense, all financial statements and information, books, records, work papers,
management reports and other information generated

                                       17
<Page>

by them or in their possession regarding any Borrower and/or the Collateral.
Each Borrower agrees to afford CIT thirty (30) days prior written notice of any
change in the location of any Collateral, other than to locations, that as of
the Closing Date, are known to CIT and at which CIT has filed financing
statements and otherwise fully perfected its liens thereon. Each Borrower is
also to advise CIT promptly, in sufficient detail, of any material adverse
change relating to the type, quantity or quality of the Collateral or on the
security interests granted to CIT therein.

     7.3   Each Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to CIT, from time to
time, solely for CIT's convenience in maintaining a record of the Collateral,
such written statements, and schedules as CIT may reasonably require,
designating, identifying or describing the Collateral. Each Borrower's failure,
however, to promptly give CIT such statements, or schedules shall not affect,
diminish, modify or otherwise limit CIT's security interests in the Collateral.

     7.4   Each Borrower agrees to comply with the requirements of all state and
federal laws in order to grant to CIT valid and perfected first security
interests in the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. CIT is
hereby authorized by each Borrower to file (including pursuant to the applicable
terms of the UCC) from time to time any financing statements, continuations or
amendments covering the Collateral whether or not such Borrower's signature
appears thereon. Each Borrower hereby consents to and ratifies any and all
execution and/or filing of financing statements on or prior to the Closing Date
by CIT. Each Borrower agrees to do whatever CIT may reasonably request, from
time to time, by way of: (a) filing notices of liens, financing statements,
amendments, renewals and continuations thereof; (b) cooperating with CIT's
agents and employees; (c) keeping Collateral records; (d) transferring proceeds
of Collateral to CIT's possession; and (e) performing such further acts as CIT
may reasonably require in order to effect the purposes of this Financing
Agreement.

     7.5   INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

     7.6   Each Borrower agrees to pay, when due, all Taxes, including sales
taxes, assessments, claims and other charges lawfully levied or assessed upon
any Borrower or the Collateral unless such Taxes are being diligently contested
in good faith by the applicable Borrower by appropriate proceedings and adequate
reserves are established in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if any lien shall be filed or claimed thereunder (a) for Taxes due the United
States of America, or (b) which in CIT's opinion might create a valid obligation
having priority over the rights granted to CIT herein (exclusive of Real
Estate), such lien shall not be deemed to be a Permitted Encumbrance hereunder
and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such tax and remove the lien of record.
If the Borrowers fail to do so promptly, then at CIT's election, CIT may (i)
create an Availability Reserve in such amount as it may deem appropriate in its
business judgement, or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of
Default, imminent risk of seizure, filing of any priority lien, forfeiture, or
sale of the Collateral, pay Taxes on the Borrowers' behalf, and the amount
thereof shall be an Obligation secured hereby and due on demand.

     7.7   Each Borrower: (a) agrees to comply with all acts, rules, regulations
and orders of any legislative, administrative or judicial body or official,
which the failure to comply with would have a material and adverse impact on the
Collateral, or any material part thereof, or on

                                       18
<Page>

the business or operations of any Borrower, provided that the applicable
Borrower may contest any acts, rules, regulations, orders and directions of such
bodies or officials in any reasonable manner which will not, in CIT's reasonable
opinion, materially and adversely effect CIT's rights or priority in the
Collateral; (b) agrees to comply with all environmental statutes, acts, rules,
regulations or orders as presently existing or as adopted or amended in the
future, applicable to the Collateral, the ownership and/or use of its real
property and operation of its business, which the failure to comply with would
have a material and adverse impact on the Collateral, or any material part
thereof, or on the operation of the business of any Borrower; and (c) shall not
be deemed to have breached any provision of this Paragraph 7.7 if (i) the
failure to comply with the requirements of this Paragraph 7.7 resulted from good
faith error or innocent omission, (ii) each Borrower promptly commences and
diligently pursues a cure of such breach, and (iii) such failure is cured within
(30) days following the applicable Borrower's receipt of notice of such failure,
or if such cannot in good faith be cured within thirty (30) days, then such
breach is cured within a reasonable time frame based upon the extent and nature
of the breach and the necessary remediation, and in conformity with any
applicable consent order, consensual agreement and applicable law.

     7.8   Until termination of this Financing Agreement and payment and
satisfaction of all Obligations due hereunder, the Borrowers agree that, unless
CIT shall have otherwise consented in writing, the Borrowers will furnish to
CIT: (a) within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company, an audited Consolidated Balance Sheet, with a Consolidating Balance

information regarding the business affairs and financial condition of the
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as CIT may reasonably request,
including, without limitation (i) the accountant's management practice letter

period, subject to year-end audit adjustments; and (y) during the particular
accounting period: (A) there has been no Default or Event of Default under this

existence of and a detailed description of same shall be set forth in such
officer's certificate; (B) no Borrower has received any notice of cancellation
with respect to its property insurance policies; (C) no Borrower has received

     7.9   Until termination of the Financing Agreement and payment and
satisfaction of all Obligations hereunder, each Borrower agrees that, without
the prior written consent of CIT, except as otherwise herein provided, each
Borrower will not:

     (a)    Mortgage, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise permit any lien,
            charge, security interest, encumbrance or judgment, (whether as a
            result of a purchase money or title retention transaction, or other
            security interest, or otherwise) to exist on any of any Borrower's
            Collateral or any other assets, whether now owned or hereafter
            acquired, except for the Permitted Encumbrances;
     (b)    Incur or create any Indebtedness other than the Permitted
            Indebtedness;

     (d)    Merge, consolidate or otherwise alter or modify its corporate name,
            principal place of business, structure, or existence, re-incorporate
            or re-organize, or enter into or engage in any operation or activity
            materially different from that presently being conducted by any
            Borrower, except that any Borrower may change its corporate name or
            address; provided that: (i) such Borrower shall give CIT thirty (30)
            days prior written notice thereof, and (ii) such Borrower shall
            execute and deliver, prior to or simultaneously with any such
            action, any and all documents and agreements requested by CIT to
            confirm the continuation and preservation of all security interests
            and liens granted to CIT hereunder;
     (e)    Assume, guarantee, endorse, or otherwise become liable upon the
            obligations of any person, firm, entity or corporation, except by
            the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection
            or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business;
     (f)    Declare or pay any dividend or distributions of any kind on, or

            outstanding; provided, however, (i) the Borrowers may continue to
            make payments with respect to previous stock repurchases which have
            been approved by CIT and (ii) the Borrowers may repurchase stock

            CIT approves in writing all payments with respect thereto;
     (g)    Make any advance or loan to, or any investment in, any firm, entity,
            person or corporation or purchase or acquire all or substantially
            all of the stock or assets of any entity, person or corporation; or
     (h)    Pay any management, consulting or other similar fees to any person,

     7.11  INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

     7.12  Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CIT and
its officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each an "Indemnified
Party") from, and holds each of them harmless against, any and all losses,
liabilities, obligations, claims, actions, damages, costs

                                       20
<Page>

and expenses (including attorney's fees) and any payments made by CIT pursuant
to any indemnity provided by CIT with respect to or to which any Indemnified
Party could be subject insofar as such losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
actions, damages, costs, fees or expenses with respect to the Loan Documents,
including without limitation those which may arise from or relate to: (a) the
Depository Account, the Blocked Accounts, the lockbox and/or any other
depository account and/or the agreements executed in connection therewith; and
(b) any and all claims or expenses asserted against CIT as a result of any
environmental pollution, hazardous material or environmental clean-up relating
to the Real Estate; or any claim or expense which results from any Borrower's
operations (including, but not limited to, any Borrower's site disposal
practices) and use of the Real Estate, which CIT may sustain or incur (other
than solely as a result of the physical actions of CIT on any Borrower's
premises which are determined to constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct by a court of competent jurisdiction), all whether through the
alleged or actual negligence of such person or otherwise, except and to the
extent that the same results solely and directly from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Each Borrower hereby agrees that this indemnity shall
survive termination of this Financing Agreement, as well as payments of
Obligations which may be due hereunder. CIT may, in its sole business judgement,
establish such Availability Reserves with respect thereto as it may deem
advisable under the circumstances and, upon any termination hereof, hold such
reserves as cash reserves for any such contingent liabilities.

     7.13  Without the prior written consent of CIT, each Borrower agrees that
it will not enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, any
purchase, sale, lease, loan or exchange of property with any other Borrower or
any subsidiary or affiliate of any other Borrower, provided that, except as
otherwise set forth in this Financing Agreement, any Borrower may enter into
sale and service transactions in the ordinary course of its business and
pursuant to the reasonable requirements of such Borrower, and upon standard
terms and conditions and fair and reasonable terms, no less favorable to such
Borrower than such Borrower could obtain in a comparable arms length transaction
with an unrelated third party, provided further that no Default or Event of
Default exists or will occur hereunder prior to and after giving effect to any
such transaction.

SECTION 8.  INTEREST, FEES AND EXPENSES

     8.1   (a) Interest shall be payable monthly as of the end of each month in
an amount equal to the Chase Bank Rate plus one and one-half percent (1 1/2%)
per annum on the average of the net balances owing by the Company to CIT in the
Revolving Loan Account at the close of each day during such month. In the event
of any change in said Chase Bank Rate, the rate hereunder for Chase Bank Rate
Loans shall change, as of the date of such change, so as to remain one and
one-half percent (1 1/2%) above the Chase Bank Rate. The rate hereunder shall be
calculated based on a 360-day year. CIT shall be entitled to charge the
Revolving Loan Account at the rate provided for herein when due until all
Obligations have been paid in full.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this
section 8, in the event that the outstanding Revolving Loans exceed the lesser
of either (x) the maximum aggregate amount available under Section 3 of this
Financing Agreement or (y) the Revolving Line of Credit: (A) as a result of
Revolving Loans advanced by CIT at the request of the

                                       21
<Page>

Borrowers (herein "Requested Overadvances"), for any one (1) or more days in any
month, or (B) for any other reason whatsoever (herein "Other Overadvances") and
such Other Overadvances continue for five (5) or more days in any month, the
average net balance of all Revolving Loans for such month shall bear interest at
the Overadvance Rate.

     (c)   Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and the giving
of any required notice by CIT in accordance with the provisions of Section 10,
Paragraph 10.2 hereof, all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate
of Interest.

     8.2   INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

     8.3   INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

     8.4   INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

     8.5   The Borrowers shall reimburse or pay CIT, as the case may be, for:
(a) all Out-of-Pocket Expenses and (b) any applicable Documentation Fee.

     8.6   Upon the last Business Day of each month, commencing on October 31,
2000, the Borrowers shall pay to CIT interest on the Collection Days. Interest
will be computed at the rate, and in the manner, set forth in Paragraph 8.1 of
this Financing Agreement.

     8.7   To induce CIT to enter into this Financing Agreement and to extend to
the Borrowers the Revolving Loan, the Borrowers shall pay to CIT a Loan Facility
Fee in the amount of: $25,000.00 upon execution of this Financing Agreement.

     8.8   The Borrowers shall pay to CIT the Administrative Management Fee in
the amount of $1,000.00 per month on the first Business Day of each month.

     8.9   The Borrowers shall pay CIT's standard charges and fees for CIT's
personnel used by CIT for reviewing the books and records of the Borrowers and
for verifying, testing, protecting, safeguarding, preserving or disposing of all
or any part of the Collateral (which fees shall be in addition to the
Administrative Management Fee and any Out-of-Pocket Expenses).

     8.10  The Borrowers hereby authorizes CIT to charge the Revolving Loan
Account with the amount of all payments due hereunder as such payments become
due. The Borrowers confirm that any charges which CIT may so make to the
Revolving Loan Account as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to
the Borrowers and solely at CIT's discretion.

     8.11  In the event that CIT or any participant hereunder (or any financial
institution which may from time to time become a participant or lender
hereunder) shall have determined in the exercise of its reasonable business
judgement that, subsequent to the Closing Date, any change in applicable law,
rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by CIT or such
participant with any new request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the

                                       22
<Page>

rate of return on CIT's or such participant's capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder to a level below that which CIT or such participant could
have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration CIT or such participant's policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by CIT or such participant to be
material, then, from time to time, the Borrowers shall pay no later that five
(5) days following demand to CIT or such participant such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate CIT's or such participant's for such reduction. In
determining such amount or amounts, CIT or such participant may use any
reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Paragraph
8.11 shall be available to CIT or such participant regardless of any possible
contention of invalidity or inappicability with respect to the applicable law,
regulation or condition. A certificate of CIT or such participant setting forth
such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate CIT or such
participant with respect to this Section 8 and the calculation thereof when
delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive on the Borrowers absent manifest
error. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, in the event
CIT or such participant has exercised its rights pursuant to this paragraph, and
subsequent thereto determines that the additional amounts paid by the Borrowers
in whole or in part exceed the amount which CIT or such participant actually
required to be made whole, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the
Borrowers by CIT or such participant.

     8.12. In the event that any applicable law, treaty or governmental
regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application
thereof, or compliance by CIT or such participant with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

     (a)   subject CIT or such participant to any tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to this Financing Agreement or change the basis of taxation of
payments to CIT or such participant of principal, fees, interest or any other
amount payable hereunder or under any other documents (except for changes in the
rate of tax on the overall net income of CIT or such participant by the federal
government or the jurisdiction in which it maintains its principal office);

     (b)   impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for
the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by CIT or such
participant by reason of or in respect to this Financing Agreement and the Loan
Documents, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

     (c)   impose on CIT or such participant any other condition with respect to
this Financing Agreement or any other document, and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to CIT or such participant of making, renewing
or maintaining its loans hereunder by an amount that CIT or such participant
deems to be material in the exercise of its reasonable business judgement or to
reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise)
in respect of any of the loans by an amount that CIT or such participant deems
to be material in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, then, in any
case the Borrowers shall pay CIT or such participant, within five (5) days
following its demand, such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may
be. CIT or such participant shall certify the amount of such additional cost or
reduced amount to the Borrowers and the calculation thereof and such
certification shall

                                       23
<Page>

be conclusive upon the Borrowers absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything
in this paragraph to the contrary, in the event CIT or such participant has
exercised its rights pursuant to this paragraph, and subsequent thereto
determine that the additional amounts paid by the Borrowers in whole or in part
exceed the amount which CIT or such participant actually required pursuant
hereto, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrowers by CIT or such
participant.

     8.13  For purposes of this Financing Agreement and Section 8 thereof, any
reference to CIT shall include any financial institution which may become a
participant or co-lender subsequent to the Closing Date.

SECTION 9.  POWERS

     Each Borrower hereby constitutes CIT, or any person or agent CIT may
designate, as its attorney-in-fact, at the Borrowers' cost and expense, to
exercise all of the following powers, which being coupled with an interest,

           ten (10) days and dismissed and vacated within thirty (30) days of
           commencement, except in the event that any of the actions sought in

           arrangement, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding under
           applicable law, provided that such Default shall not be deemed an

<Page>

           CIT from charging such amounts to the Revolving Loan Account on the

from any right of redemption, which right is hereby expressly waived by each
Borrower; (d) foreclose the security interests in the Collateral created herein
or by the Loan Documents by any available judicial procedure, or to take
possession of any or all of the Collateral, including Other Collateral without
judicial process, and to enter any premises where any Other Collateral may be
located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the same; and (e)
exercise any other rights and remedies provided in law, in equity, by contract
or otherwise. CIT shall have the right, without notice or advertisement, to
sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, whether
in its then condition or after further preparation or processing, in the name of
any Borrower or CIT, or in the name of such other party as CIT may designate,
either at public or private sale or at any broker's board, in lots or in bulk,
for cash or for credit, with or without warranties or representations, and upon
such other terms and conditions as CIT in its sole discretion may deem
advisable, and CIT shall have the right to purchase at any such sale. If notice
of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, it is agreed that
ten (10) days notice shall constitute reasonable notification and full
compliance with the law. The net cash proceeds resulting from CIT's exercise of
any of the foregoing rights, (after deducting all charges, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be applied by CIT to the payment of
the Obligations, whether due or to become due, in such order as CIT may elect,
and the Borrowers shall remain liable to CIT for any deficiencies, and CIT in
turn agrees to remit to the applicable Borrower or its successors or assigns,
any surplus resulting therefrom. The enumeration of the foregoing rights is not
intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right shall not preclude the
exercise of any other rights, all of which shall be cumulative. Each Borrower
hereby indemnifies CIT and holds CIT harmless from any and all costs, expenses,
claims, liabilities, Out-of-Pocket Expenses or otherwise, incurred or imposed on
CIT by reason of the exercise of any of its rights, remedies and interests
hereunder, including, without limitation, from any sale or transfer of
Collateral, preserving, maintaining or securing the Collateral, defending its
interests in Collateral (including pursuant to any claims brought by any
Borrower, any Borrower as debtor-in-possession, any secured or unsecured
creditors of any Borrower, any trustee or receiver in bankruptcy, or otherwise),
and

                                       27
<Page>

each Borrower hereby agrees to so indemnify and hold CIT harmless, absent CIT's
gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction. The foregoing indemnification shall survive termination
of this Financing Agreement until such time as all Obligations (including the
foregoing) have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full. In furtherance
thereof CIT, may establish such reserves for Obligations hereunder (including
any contingent Obligations) as it may deem advisable in its reasonable business
judgement.

SECTION 11. TERMINATION

     Except as otherwise permitted herein, CIT may terminate this Financing
Agreement at any time by giving the Company at least sixty (60) days prior
written notice of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing CIT may terminate
the Financing Agreement immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
provided, however, that if the Event of Default is an event listed in Paragraph
10.1(c) of Section 10 of this Financing Agreement, this Financing Agreement
shall terminate in accordance with paragraph 10.2 of Section 10. This Financing
Agreement, unless terminated as herein provided, shall automatically continue
from Anniversary Date to Anniversary Date. The Borrowers may terminate this
Financing Agreement at any time upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to
CIT, provided that the Borrowers pay to CIT on the applicable termination date
an Early Termination Fee, if applicable. All Obligations shall become due and
payable as of any termination hereunder or under Section 10 hereof and, pending
a final accounting, CIT may withhold any balances in the Company's account
(unless supplied with an indemnity satisfactory to CIT) to cover all of the
Obligations, whether absolute or contingent, including, but not limited to, cash
reserves for any contingent Obligations. All of CIT's rights, liens and security
interests shall continue after any termination until all Obligations have been
paid and satisfied in full.

SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS

     12.1  The Borrowers hereby waives diligence, notice of intent to
accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand, presentment and protest and any
notices thereof as well as notice of nonpayment. No delay or omission of CIT or
the Borrowers to exercise any right or remedy hereunder, whether before or after
the happening of any Event of Default, shall impair any such right or shall
operate as a waiver thereof or as a waiver of any such Event of Default. No
single or partial exercise by CIT of any right or remedy precludes any other or
further exercise thereof, or precludes any other right or remedy.

     12.2  This Financing Agreement and the Loan Documents executed and
delivered in connection therewith constitute the entire agreement between the
Borrowers and CIT; supersede any prior agreements; can be changed only by a
writing signed by both the Borrowers and CIT; and shall bind and benefit the
Borrowers and CIT and their respective successors and assigns.

     12.3  In no event shall the Borrowers, upon demand by CIT for payment of
any Indebtedness relating hereto, by acceleration of the maturity thereof, or
otherwise, be obligated to pay interest and fees in excess of the amount
permitted by law. Regardless of any provision herein or in any agreement made in
connection herewith, CIT shall never be entitled to receive, charge or apply, as
interest on any indebtedness relating hereto, any amount in excess of the

                                       28
<Page>

maximum amount of interest permissible under applicable law. If CIT ever
receives, collects or applies any such excess, it shall be deemed a partial
repayment of principal and treated as such; and if principal is paid in full,
any remaining excess shall be refunded to the Borrowers. This paragraph shall
control every other provision hereof, the Loan Documents and of any other
agreement made in connection herewith.

     12.4  If any provision hereof or of any other agreement made in connection
herewith is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully
severable, and the remaining provisions of the applicable agreement shall remain
in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such provision's
severance. Furthermore, in lieu of any such provision, there shall be added
automatically as a part of the applicable agreement a legal and enforceable
provision as similar in terms to the severed provision as may be possible.

     12.5  EACH BORROWER AND CIT EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREUNDER. EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY CERTIFIED OR
REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. IN NO EVENT WILL CIT BE LIABLE FOR
LOST PROFITS OR OTHER SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

     12.6  Except as otherwise herein provided, any notice or other
communication required hereunder shall be in writing (provided that, any
electronic communications from the Borrowers with respect to any request,
transmission, document, electronic signature, electronic mail or facsimile
transmission shall be deemed binding on the Borrowers for purposes of this
Financing Agreement, provided further that any such transmission shall not
relieve the Borrowers from any other obligation hereunder to communicate further
in writing), and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered

United State mails, with proper first class postage prepaid and addressed to the

     12.7  THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS FINANCING
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
INCLUDES AN EXPRESS ELECTION TO BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

     12.8  CONCERNING JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF BORROWERS. (a) Each
Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of
the financial accommodation to be provided by CIT under this Financing
Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of such
Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of such Borrowers to
accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

     (b)   Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint
and several liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the payment and
performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties
hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of
each of the Borrowers with preferences or distinction among them;

     (c)   If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any
payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any
of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such
event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform,
such Obligation.

     (d)   The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section
12.8 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against
it to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of this Financing Agreement or any other
circumstances whatsoever.

     (e)   Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by law,
each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several
liability, notice of any Revolving Loan made under this Financing Agreement,
notice of occurrence of any Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment
under this Financing Agreement, notice of occurrence of any Event of Default, or
of any demand for any payment under this Financing Agreement, notice of any
action at any time taken or omitted by CIT under or in respect of any of the
Obligations, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices
and other formalities of every kind

                                       30
<Page>

in connection with this Financing Agreement. Each Borrower hereby assents to,
and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment
of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any
waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by CIT at any time or times in
respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any
term, covenant, condition or provision of this Financing Agreement, any and all
other indulgences whatsoever by CIT in respect of any of the Obligations, and
the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time
or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or in part, at any time or
times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution
or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay
in acting or failure to act on the part of CIT, including, without limitation,
any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy
or to comply fully with the applicable laws or regulations thereunder which
might, but for the provisions of this Section 12.8, afford grounds for
terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from
any of its obligations under this Section 12.8, it being the intention of each
Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations remain unsatisfied, the
obligations of such Borrower under this Section 12.8 shall not be discharged
except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The
Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 12.8 shall not be diminished or
rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower
or CIT. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall
continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger,
amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership,
constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or CIT.

     (f)   The provisions of this Section 12.8 are made for the benefit of CIT
and its successors and assigns, and may be enforced by CIT from time to time
against any of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without
requirement on the part of CIT first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise
any of its rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies
available to it against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other
source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations or to elect any
other remedy. The provisions of this Section 12.8 shall remain in effect until
all the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied.
If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the
Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by CIT upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or
otherwise, the provisions of this Section 12.8 will forthwith be reinstated in
effect, as though such payment had not been made.

     (g)   Notwithstanding any provision to be contrary contained herein or in
the Revolving Note, to the extent the joint obligations of a Borrower shall be
adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without
limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to
fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each Borrower
hereunder shall be limited to be maximum amount that is permissible under
applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the
federal bankruptcy code).

     (h)   The Borrowers hereby agree, as among themselves, that if any Borrower
shall become an Excess Funding Borrower (as defined below), each other Borrower
shall, on demand

                                       31
<Page>

of such Excess Funding Borrower (but subject to the next sentence hereof and to
subsection (B) below), pay to such Excess Funding Borrower an amount equal to
such Borrower's Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this
purpose, without reference to the properties, assets, liabilities and debts of
such Excess Funding Borrower) of such Excess Payment (as defined below). The
payment obligation of any Borrower to any Excess Funding Borrower under this
Section 12.8(h) shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of the obligations of such Borrower under the other
provisions of this Financing Agreement, and such Excess Funding Borrower shall
not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and
satisfaction in full of all of such obligations. For purposes hereof, (i)
"Excess Funding Borrower" shall mean, in respect of any Obligations arising
under the other provisions of this Financing Agreement (hereafter, the "Joint
Obligations"), a Borrower that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata
Share of the Joint Obligations; (ii) "Excess Payment" shall mean, in respect of
any Joint Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Borrower in excess
of its Pro Rata Share of such Joint Obligations; and (iii) "Pro Rata Share", for
the purposes of this Section 12.8(h), shall mean, for any Borrower, the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) of (A) the amount by which the aggregate present
fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all
debts and liabilities of such Borrower (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such
Borrower hereunder) to (B) the amount by which the aggregate present fair
salable value of all assets and other properties of such Borrower and all of the
other Borrowers exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities,
but excluding the obligations of such Borrower and the other Borrowers
hereunder) of such Borrower and all of the other Borrowers, all as of the date
hereof (if any Borrower becomes a party hereto subsequent to the date hereof,
then for the purposes of this Section 12.8(h) such subsequent Borrower shall be
deemed to have been a Borrower as of the date hereof and the information
pertaining to, and only pertaining to, such Borrower as of the date such
Borrower became a Borrower shall be deemed true as of the date hereof).

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF VOTING COMMON STOCK PURCHASABLE HEREUNDER HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
OFFERED FOR SALE UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE. THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF VOTING COMMON STOCK PURCHASABLE HEREUNDER ARE SUBJECT
TO AND HAVE THE BENEFIT OF A WARRANTHOLDERS RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF OCTOBER
25, 2000 AMONG AVATECH SOLUTIONS, INC. AND THE WARRANTHOLDERS LISTED ON THE
SIGNATURE PAGES THEREOF, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH AVATECH SOLUTIONS, INC.

                             Dated: October 25, 2000

                                     WARRANT

               To Purchase 16,213 Shares of Voting Common Stock of

                             AVATECH SOLUTIONS, INC.

                           Expiring November 25, 2003

     THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, THE CIT GROUP/BUSINESS CREDIT,
INC. or registered assigns ("Holder") is entitled to purchase from AVATECH
SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Avatech"), at any time or from time to
time after 9.00 a.m., Charlotte, North Carolina time, on the date hereof and
prior to 5:00 p.m., Charlotte, North Carolina time, on the earlier of November
25, 2003 and the Business Day preceding the date of redemption of this Warrant
(the "Exercise Period"), at the place where the Warrant Agency is located, at
the Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the "Voting Common Stock") of Avatech shown above, all subject to
adjustment and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter provided, and is
entitled also to exercise the other appurtenant rights, powers and privileges
hereinafter described.

     This Warrant is one of one or more warrants (the "Warrants") of the same
form and having the same terms as this Warrant, entitling the holders initially
to purchase up to an aggregate of 16,213 shares of Voting Common Stock. The
Warrant Shares following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Financing Agreement will constitute 0.25% of the capital stock (Common or
Preferred) of Avatech on a Fully Diluted Basis. The Warrants have been issued
pursuant to the Financing Agreement dated as of October 25, 2000 (as amended
from time to time, the "Financing Agreement") between Avatech and The CIT
Group/Business Credit, Inc. ("CIT"), as lender, and the Holder is entitled to
certain benefits as set forth therein and to certain benefits described in the
Warrantholders Rights Agreement. Avatech shall keep a copy of the Financing
Agreement and the Warrantholders Rights Agreement, and any amendments thereto,
at the Warrant Agency and shall furnish, without charge, copies thereof to the
Holder upon request.

     Certain terms used in this Warrant are defined in Article VI.

                                    ARTICLE I

                              EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

     SECTION 1.1. METHOD OF EXERCISE.

     To exercise this Warrant in whole on in part, the Holder shall deliver on
any Business Day to Avatech, at the Warrant Agency, (a) this Warrant, (b) a
written notice of such Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice
shall specify the number of shares of Voting Common Stock to be purchased (which
shall be a whole number of shares if for less than all the shares then issuable
hereunder), the denominations of the share certificate or certificates desired
and the name or names in which such certificates are to be registered, and (c)
payment of the Exercise Price with respect to such shares. Such payment may be
made, at the option of the Holder, either (a) by cash, certified or bank
cashier's check or wire transfer in an amount equal to the product of (i) the
Exercise Price times (ii) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant
is being exercised or (b) by receiving from Avatech the number of Warrant Shares
equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being
exercised minus (ii) the number of Warrant Shares having a value, based on the
Closing Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such exercise,
equal to the product of (x) the Exercise Price times (y) the number of Warrant
Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised.

     Avatech shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within seven
days after receipt of such notice and payment, execute and deliver or cause to
be executed and delivered, in accordance with such notice, a certificate or
certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Voting Common Stock
specified in said notice together with cash in lieu of any fractions of a share
as provided in Section 1.3. The share certificate or certificates so delivered
shall be in such denominations as may be specified in such notice, and shall be
issued in the name of the Holder or such other name or names as shall be
designated in such notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and
such Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be
deemed for all purposes to have become a holder of record of shares, as of the
date the aforementioned notice and payment is received by Avatech. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, Avatech shall, at the time of
delivery of such certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining shares of Voting Common
Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects
be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of the Holder, appropriate
notation may be made on this Warrant which shall then be returned to the Holder.
Avatech shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection
with the preparation, issuance and delivery of share certificates and new
Warrants, except that, if share certificates or new Warrants shall be registered
in a name or names other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay
all transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer shall be paid by the
Holder at the time of delivery of the aforementioned notice of exercise or
promptly upon receipt of a written request of Avatech for payment.

     SECTION 1.2. SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID AND NONASSESSABLE.

     All shares of Voting Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant
and all shares of Voting Common Stock issued upon the conversion of such Voting
Common Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if such
class of Common Stock is then listed on any national securities exchange (as
defined in the Exchange Act) or quoted on NASDAQ, shall be duly listed or quoted
thereon, as the case may be.

     SECTION 1.3. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES REQUIRED TO BE ISSUED.

                                        2
<Page>

     Avatech shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Voting Common
Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share would, but for
this Section, be issuable upon final exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of such
fractional share Avatech shall pay to the Holder, in cash, an amount equal to
the same fraction of the Fair Market Value of Avatech per share of outstanding
Common Stock on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.

     SECTION 1.4. SHARE LEGEND.

     Each certificate for shares of Voting Common Stock issued upon exercise of
this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such shares are registered under
the Securities Act, shall bear the following legend:

             "This security has not been registered under the Securities Act of
     1933 and may not be sold or offered for sale unless registered under said
     Act and any applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from
     such registration is available. This security is also subject to and has
     the benefit of a Warrantholders Rights Agreement dated as of October 25,
     2000 among Avatech Solutions, Inc. and the Warrantholders listed on the
     signature pages thereof, copies of which are on file with Avatech
     Solutions, Inc."

     Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities
Act) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel selected by
the holder of such certificate (who may be an employee of such holder) and
reasonably acceptable to Avatech, the securities represented thereby need no
longer be subject to restrictions on resale under the Securities Act.

     SECTION 1.5. RESERVATION.

     Avatech has duly reserved and will keep available for issuance upon
exercise of the Warrants the total number of Warrant Shares deliverable from
time to time upon exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding and the
total number of shares of Voting Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of
such Warrant Shares to Voting Common Stock. Avatech will not change the Voting
Common Stock from par value $0.01 per share to any higher par value which
exceeds the Exercise Price then in effect, and will reduce the par value of the
Voting Common Stock upon any event described in Article IV that provides for an
increase in the number of shares of Voting Common Stock subject to purchase upon
exercise of this Warrant, in inverse proportion to and effective at the same
time as such number of shares is increased, but only to the extent that such
increase in the number of shares, together with all other such increases after
the date hereof, causes the aggregate Exercise Price of all Warrants (without
giving effect to any exercise or redemption thereof) to be greater than $1,000.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                 WARRANT AGENCY;
                 TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS

     SECTION 2.1. WARRANT AGENCY.

     As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, Avatech shall perform
the obligations of and be the warrant agency with respect to the Warrants (the
"Warrant Agency") at its address set forth in the Financing Agreement or at such
other address as Avatech shall specify by notice to all Warrantholders.

                                        3

     SECTION 2.2. OWNERSHIP OF WARRANT.

     Avatech may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is
registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of
ownership or writing hereon made by any person other than Avatech) for all
purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until due
presentment of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this
Article II.

     SECTION 2.3. TRANSFER OF WARRANT.

     Avatech agrees to maintain at the Warrant Agency books for the registration
of transfers of the Warrants, and transfer of this Warrant and all rights
hereunder shall be registered, in whole or in part, on such books, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the Warrant Agency, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized
agent or attorney, with (if the Holder is a natural person) signatures
guaranteed by a bank or trust company or a broker or dealer registered with the
NASD, and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon such transfer.
Upon surrender and, if required, such payment, Avatech shall execute and deliver
a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denominations specified in the instrument of assignment (which shall be whole
numbers of shares only) and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing
the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be
canceled.

     SECTION 2.4. DIVISION OF COMBINATION OF WARRANTS.

     This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon
presentment hereof and of any Warrant or Warrants with which this Warrant is to
be combined at the Warrant Agency, together with a written notice specifying the
names and denominations (which shall be whole numbers of shares only) in which
the new Warrant or Warrants are to be issued, signed by the holders hereof and
thereof or their respective duly authorized agents or attorneys. Subject to
compliance with Section 2.3 as to any transfer or assignment which may be
involved in the division or combination, Avatech shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or
combined in accordance with such notice.

     SECTION 2.5. LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES.

     Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Avatech of the ownership of and
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of
any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security
satisfactory to Avatech (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of
such Warrant is CIT, then a written agreement of indemnity given by CIT alone
shall be satisfactory to Avatech and no further security shall be required) or,
in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, Avatech will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed
or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to
purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Voting Common Stock.

     SECTION 2.6. EXPENSES OF DELIVERY OF WARRANTS.

     Avatech shall pay all expenses, taxes (other than transfer taxes) and other
charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of
Warrants hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                 CERTAIN RIGHTS

     SECTION 3.1. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE WARRANTHOLDERS RIGHTS
                  AGREEMENT.

     This Warrant is entitled to the benefits and subject to the terms of the
Warrantholders Rights Agreement dated as of October 25, 2000 among Avatech and
the Warrantholders listed on the signature pages thereof (as amended from time
to time, the "Warrantholders Rights Agreement"). Avatech shall keep or cause to
be kept a copy of the Warrantholders Rights Agreement, and any amendments
thereto, at the Warrant Agency and shall furnish, without charge, copies thereof
to the Holder upon request.

     SECTION 3.2. DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE.

     Each determination of Fair Market Value hereunder shall be made in good
faith by Avatech. Upon each determination of Fair Market Value by Avatech
hereunder, Avatech shall promptly give notice thereof to all Warrantholders,
setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such Fair Market Value and
the method and basis of determination thereof (the "Avatech Determination").

                                   ARTICLE IV

                            ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS

     SECTION 4.1. ADJUSTMENT GENERALLY.

     The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Voting Common Stock (or
other securities or property) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as
provided in this Article IV; PROVIDED that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Exercise Price shall not be less than the par
value of the Voting Common Stock, as such par value is reduced from time to time
in accordance with Section 1.5.

     SECTION 4.2. COMMON STOCK REORGANIZATION.

     If Avatech shall subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or any
class thereof) into a greater number of shares or consolidate its outstanding
shares of Common Stock (or any class thereof) into a smaller number of shares
(any such event being called a "Common Stock Reorganization"), then (a) the
Exercise Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately after the effective date
of such Common Stock Reorganization, to a price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
on such effective date before giving effect to such Common Stock Reorganization
and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after giving effect to such Common Stock Reorganization, and (b) the
number of shares of Voting Common Stock subject to purchase upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be adjusted, effective at such time, to a number determined
by multiplying the number of shares of Voting Common Stock subject to purchase
immediately before such Common Stock Reorganization by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving
effect to such Common Stock Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Common
Stock Reorganization.

                                        5
<Page>

     SECTION 4.3. COMMON STOCK DISTRIBUTION.

     (a)     If Avatech shall issue, sell or otherwise distribute any shares of
Common Stock, other than pursuant to a Common Stock Reorganization (which is
governed by Section 4.2 hereof) (any such event, including any event described
in paragraphs (b) and (c) below, being herein called a "Common Stock
Distribution"), for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price then
in effect or less than the Fair Market Value of Avatech per share of outstanding
Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis on the date of such Common Stock
Distribution (before giving effect to such Common Stock Distribution), then,
effective upon such Common Stock Distribution, the Exercise Price shall be
reduced, if such consideration per share shall be less than the Exercise Price
then in effect but not less than such Fair Market Value per share, to the lower
of the prices (calculated to the nearest one-thousandth of one cent) determined
as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) below or, if such consideration per share
shall be less than such Fair Market Value per share, to the lowest of the prices
(calculated to the nearest one-thousandth of one cent) determined as provided in
clauses (i) and (ii) below:

             (i)  by dividing (A) an amount equal to the sum of (1) the number
     of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Common
     Stock Distribution multiplied by the then existing Exercise Price, plus (2)
     the consideration, if any, received by Avatech upon such Common Stock
     Distribution by (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
     immediately after such Common Stock Distribution; and

             (ii) by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
     to such Common Stock Distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which
     shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
     immediately prior to such Common Stock Distribution multiplied by such Fair
     Market Value per share on the date of such Common Stock Distribution, plus
     (B) the consideration, if any, received by Avatech upon such Common Stock
     Distribution, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (1) the
     total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
     Common Stock Distribution multiplied by (2) such Fair Market Value per
     share on the date of such Common Stock Distribution.

     If any Common Stock Distribution shall require an adjustment to the
Exercise Price pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a),
including by operation of paragraph (b) or (c) below, then, effective at the
time such adjustment is made, the number of shares of Voting Common Stock
subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Voting Common Stock subject to
purchase immediately before such Common Stock Distribution by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to such Common Stock Distribution and the
denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares outstanding
immediately before giving effect to such Common Stock Distribution (both
calculated on a Fully Diluted Basis) plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate consideration received by Avatech with respect to such
Common Stock Distribution would purchase at the Fair Market Value of Avatech per
share of outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis on the date of such
Common Stock Distribution (before giving effect to such Common Stock
Distribution). In computing adjustments under this paragraph, fractional
interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest
one-thousandth of a share.

     The provisions of this paragraph (a), including by operation of paragraph
(b) or (c) below, shall not operate to increase the Exercise Price or reduce the
number of shares of Voting Common Stock subject to purchase upon exercise of
this Warrant.

     (b)     If Avatech shall issue, sell, distribute or otherwise grant in any
manner (including by assumption) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or
any warrants or options for the purchase of

                                        6
<Page>

Common Stock or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock (such rights, warrants or options being herein called "Options" and
such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called
"Convertible Securities"), whether or not such Options or the rights to convert
or exchange any such Convertible Securities in respect of such Options are
immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities in respect of such Options (determined by dividing
(i) the aggregate amount, if any, received or receivable by Avatech as
consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration payable to Avatech upon the exercise of all
such Options, plus, in the case of Options to acquire Convertible Securities,
the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon
the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or
exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of
all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options)
shall be less than the Exercise Price then in effect or less than the Fair
Market Value of Avatech per share of outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted
Basis on the date of granting such Options (before giving effect to such grant),
then, for purposes of paragraph (a) above, the total maximum number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or
exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable
upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the
date of granting of such Options and thereafter shall be deemed to be
outstanding and Avatech shall be deemed to have received as consideration such
price per share, determined as provided above, therefor. Except as otherwise
provided in paragraph (d) below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price
shall be made upon the actual exercise of such Options or upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.

     (c)     If Avatech shall issue, sell or otherwise distribute (including by
assumption) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or
convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by
dividing (i) the aggregate amount received or receivable by Avatech as
consideration for the issuance, sale or distribution of such Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if
any, payable to Avatech upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the
total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Exercise
Price then in effect or less than the Fair Market Value of Avatech per share of
outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis on the date of such issuance,
sale or distribution (before giving effect to such issuance, sale or
distribution), then, for purposes of paragraph (a) above, the total maximum
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all
such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date
of the issuance, sale or distribution of such Convertible Securities and
thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and Avatech shall be deemed to have
received as consideration such price per share, determined as provided above,
therefor. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (d) below, no additional
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.

     (d)     If (i) the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in
paragraph (d) above or the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in paragraph
(b) or (c) above or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in
paragraph (b) or (c) above are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock
shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed
to protect against dilution upon an event which results in a related adjustment
pursuant to this Article IV), or (ii) any of such Options or Convertible
Securities shall have terminated, lapsed or expired, the Exercise Price then in
effect shall forthwith be readjusted (effective only with respect to any
exercise of this Warrant after such readjustment) to the Exercise Price which
would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the

                                        7
<Page>

issuance, sale, distribution or grant of such Options or Convertible Securities
been made based upon such changed purchase price, additional consideration or
conversion rate, as the case may be (in the case of any event referred to in
clause (i) of this paragraph (d)) or had such adjustment not been made (in the
case of any event referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (d)).

     (e)     If Avatech shall pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon
any capital stock of Avatech payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then, for purposes of paragraph (a) above, such Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued or sold
without consideration.

     (f)     If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
shall be issued, sold or distributed for cash, the consideration received
therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by Avatech therefor, after
deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred in connection therewith. If any
shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued sold
or distributed for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the
consideration other than cash received by Avatech shall be deemed to be the Fair
Market Value of such consideration, after deduction of any expenses incurred in
connection therewith. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in which Avatech is the
surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to
be the Fair Market Value of such portion of the assets and business of the
non-surviving corporation as shall be attributable to such Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. If any Options shall be issued in
connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of Avatech, together
comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed
to have been issued without consideration.

     SECTION 4.4. SPECIAL DIVIDENDS.

     If Avatech shall issue or distribute to any holder or holders of shares of
Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any other securities of Avatech or any
cash, property or other assets (excluding a Common Stock Reorganization or a
Common Stock Distribution), whether or not accompanied by a purchase, redemption
or other acquisition of shares of Common Stock (any such nonexcluded event being
herein called a "Special Dividend"), (a) the Exercise Price shall be decreased,
effective immediately after the effective date of such Special Dividend, to a
price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of Avatech per share of
outstanding Common Stock as of such effective date less any cash and the then
Fair Market Value of any evidences of indebtedness, securities or property or
other assets issued or distributed in such Special Dividend with respect to one
share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market
Value per share and (b) the number of shares of Voting Common Stock subject to
purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number determined
by multiplying the number of shares of Voting Common Stock subject to purchase
immediately before such Special Dividend by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such Special Dividend
and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately
after such Special Dividend. A reclassification of Common Stock (other than a
change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to
par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock
shall be deemed a distribution by Avatech to the holders of such Common stock of
such shares of such other class of stock and, if the outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of
Common Stock as part of such reclassification, a Common Stock Reorganization.

     SECTION 4.5. CAPITAL REORGANIZATIONS.

     If there shall be (i) any consolidation or merger to which Avatech is a
party, other than a consolidation or a merger of which Avatech is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change
(other than a Common Stock Reorganization) in, outstanding shares of Common
Stock, or (ii) any sale or conveyance of the property of Avatech as an entirety
or substantially as an entirety, or (iii) any recapitalization of Avatech (any
such event being called a "Capital Reorganization"), then, effective upon the
effective date of such Capital Reorganization, the Holder shall no longer have
the right to purchase Voting Common Stock, but shall have instead the right to
purchase, upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have
owned or have been entitled to receive pursuant to such Capital Reorganization
if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of
such Capital Reorganization. As a condition to effecting any Capital
Reorganization, Avatech or the successor or surviving corporation, as the case
may be, shall (a) execute and deliver to each Warrantholder and to the Warrant
Agency an agreement as to the Warrrantholders' rights in accordance with this
Section 4.5, providing, to the extent of any right to purchase equity securities
hereunder, for subsequent adjustments as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Article IV and (b) provide each
Regulated Holder with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Regulated Holder and such other assurances as any Regulated Holder may
reasonably request to the effect that the ownership and exercise by any
Regulated Holder of this Warrant after giving effect to such Capital
Reorganization shall not be prohibited by the BHC Act or the regulations
thereunder. The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall similarly apply to
successive Capital Reorganizations.

     SECTION 4.6. ADJUSTMENT RULES.

     Any adjustments pursuant to this Article IV shall be made successively
whenever an event referred to herein shall occur, except that, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article IV, no adjustment shall be made to the
number of shares of Voting Common Stock to be delivered to each Holder (or to
the Exercise Price) if such adjustment represents less than 1% of the number of
shares previously required to be so delivered, but any lesser adjustment shall
be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next
subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward
shall amounts to 1% or more of the number of shares to be so delivered. No
adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Article IV in respect of (x) the
issuance of stock options or Common Stock to employees of Avatech pursuant to
employee stock ownership plans or otherwise, or the exercise of any such
options, PROVIDED that the aggregate amount of all such Common Stock and Common
Stock for which such options are exercisable does not exceed 15% of the Common
Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis on the date hereof and (y) the issuance from time
to time of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any of the Warrants. If
Avatech shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for any purpose
referred to in this Article IV, then (i) such record date shall be deemed to be
the date of the issuance, sale, distribution or grant in question and (ii) if
Avatech shall legally abandon such action prior to effecting such action, no
adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Article IV in respect of such action.

     SECTION 4.7. PROCEEDINGS PRIOR TO ANY ACTION REQUIRING ADJUSTMENT.

     As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an
adjustment pursuant to this Article IV, Avatech shall take any action which may
be necessary, including obtaining regulatory approvals or exemptions, in order
that (a) Avatech may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and
nonassessable all shares of Voting Common Stock which the holders of Warrants
are entitled to receive upon exercise thereof and (b) the ownership and exercise
of any Warrant by any Regulated Holder shall not be prohibited by any Regulatory
Requirement.

     SECTION 4.8. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT.

     Not less than 10 nor more than 30 days prior to the record date or
effective date, as the case may be, of any action which requires or might
require an adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Article IV, Avatech shall
give notice to each Warrantholder of such event, describing such event in
reasonable detail and specifying the record date or effective date, as the case
may be, and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the computation
thereof. If the required adjustment is not determinable at the time of such
notice, Avatech shall give notice to each Warrantholder of such adjustment and
computation promptly after such adjustment becomes determinable.

Redemption, 5 days) after the receipt of any Determination Notice from the
Holder, Avatech shall give to the Holder notice of the Redemption Price,
including a reasonably detailed description of the method of calculation
thereof, determined as of the day preceding such notice of the Redemption Price.
At any time within 30 days (or, in the case of a Refinancing Redemption, 15
days) after receipt of notice of the Redemption Price the Holder may demand
redemption of this Warrant, in whole or in part, at the Redemption Price by
notice to Avatech, payable on the third Business Day after receipt of notice of
such demand (or, in the case of a Refinancing Redemption, on the closing date of
such refinancing) (any such date, the "Redemption Due Date") in immediately
available funds to the Holder upon surrender of this Warrant at the Warrant
Agency or, if requested by the Holder, without surrender of this Warrant, by

theretofore represented by this Warrant as to which the Holder has demanded (and
Avatech may effect) redemption shall terminate, and this Warrant shall represent

Warrant pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be referred to hereinafter as the

Price, determined as of the day preceding the notice of redemption. Irrevocable
notice of such right of redemption shall be given by Avatech to all
Warrantholders not more than 30 days nor less than 15 days prior to the date
scheduled for redemption, stating the date and price, including a reasonably
detailed description of the method of calculation thereof, of redemption.
Warrantholders may exercise Warrants until 5:00 p.m., Charlotte, North Carolina
time, on the Business Day preceding the date of redemption set forth in a valid
notice of redemption, at which time the right to purchase shares of Voting
Common Stock theretofore represented by this Warrant shall terminate, and this
Warrant shall represent the right of the Holder to receive the Optional
Redemption Price from Avatech in immediately available funds upon surrender of
this Warrant at the Warrant Agency.

     SECTION 5.4. CANCELLATION OF WARRANTS.

Avatech to refinance in their entirety the Notes (as defined in the Financing
Agreement) not less than 60 days prior to the proposed closing date of such

hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of
steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No notice or demand on
Avatech in any case shall entitle Avatech to any other or future notice or

otherwise have. The provisions of this Warrant may be amended, modified, or
waived with (and only with) the written consent of Avatech and the

assignable by the Holder hereof in whole or from time to time in part of any
other Person and the provisions of this Warrant shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Holder hereof and its successors and assigns.

     SECTION 7.5. SEVERABILITY.

valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that
