                AMENDED AND RESTATED SENIOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED SENIOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this
"AGREEMENT") is made as of January 23, 2003, among DigitalNet Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), DigitalNet, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("DIGITALNET"), DigitalNet Government
Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of DigitalNet ("DGS") and Steven Hanau (the "EXECUTIVE").

         WHEREAS, the Company, DigitalNet and Executive entered into a
Consulting Agreement (the "Consulting Agreement") as of January 10, 2002 (the
"Initial Date"), whereby the Company engaged Executive as a consultant and
Executive purchased 350,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "COMMON
STOCK"), par value $0.001 per share (the "EXECUTIVE STOCK"). Certain definitions
are set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement.

         WHEREAS, the Company, DigitalNet, DGS and Executive desire to amend and
restate the Consulting Agreement to provide for, among other things, the
Executive's employment by the Company and DGS.

         The parties hereto agree as follows:

                     PROVISIONS RELATING TO EXECUTIVE STOCK

         1. RESERVED.

         2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF EXECUTIVE STOCK.

                  (a) Upon the Initial Date, Executive purchased, and the
Company sold, 350,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.10 per share.
Executive delivered to the Company a check or wire transfer of funds in the
aggregate amount of $350 and a promissory note in an aggregate principal amount
of $34,650 (the "EXECUTIVE NOTE"). Executive's obligations under the Executive
Note are secured by a pledge of all of the shares of Common Stock purchased
hereunder to the Company and in connection therewith, Executive entered into a
pledge agreement (the "Pledge Agreement").

                  (b) RESERVED.

                  (c) In connection with the purchase and sale of the Executive
Stock hereunder, Executive represented and warranted to the Company that:

                           (i) The Executive Stock acquired by Executive
pursuant to the Consulting Agreement was acquired for Executive's own account
and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of
the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Executive
Stock will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws.

<Page>

                           (ii) Executive is an executive officer of the
Company, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks
and benefits of the investment in the Executive Stock.

                           (iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of
his investment in the Executive Stock for an indefinite period of time because
the Executive Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act and,
therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities
Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

                           (iv) Executive had an opportunity to ask questions
and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of
Executive Stock and has had full access to such other information concerning the
Company as he has requested.

                           (v) Executive is a resident of Maryland.

                  (d) As an inducement to the Company, DigitalNet and DGS to
enter into this Agreement, as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and
agrees that neither the issuance of the Executive Stock to Executive nor any
provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment
of the Company or DGS or affect the right of the Company or DGS to terminate
Executive's employment at any time for any reason.

                  (e) In connection with the Consulting Agreement, Executive
entered into a joinder agreement (the "Joinder Agreement"), pursuant to which
Executive agreed to be bound by the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

                  (f) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Pledge Agreement or
anything herein to the contrary, until the occurrence of a Sale of the Company,
all certificates evidencing shares of Executive Stock shall be held by the
Company for the benefit of Executive and the other holder(s) of Executive Stock.
Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering, the Company
will return the certificates for the Executive Stock to the record holders
thereof.

                  (g) Concurrently with the execution of the Consulting
Agreement, Executive executed in blank ten stock transfer powers in the form of
EXHIBIT B to the Consulting Agreement (the "STOCK POWERS") with respect to the
Executive Stock and delivered such Stock Powers to the Company. The Stock Powers
authorized the Company to assign, transfer and deliver the shares of Executive
Stock to the appropriate acquiror thereof pursuant to SECTION 3 below, Section 6
of the Stockholders Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, and under no other
circumstances.

                  (h) In connection with the purchase and sale of the Executive
Stock hereunder, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that this
Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by Executive does not and will not

                                       2

<Page>

conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or
instrument to which Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to
which Executive is subject.

         3. REPURCHASE OPTION.

                  (a) In the event that Executive ceases to be employed by the
Company and DGS for any reason (the "SEPARATION"), the Executive Stock (whether
held by Executive or one or more of Executive's transferees, other than the
Company) will be subject to repurchase, in each case at the option of the
Company, GTCR Fund VII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR") and GTCR
Co-Invest, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with GTCR, the
"INVESTORS" and each, an "INVESTOR"), Ken S. Bajaj ("Bajaj") and Jack Pearlstein
("Pearlstein") pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section
3(a) (the "REPURCHASE OPTION"). A percentage of the Executive Stock will be
subject to repurchase at the Fair Market Value for such shares, calculated in
accordance with the following schedule (the "FAIR MARKET VALUE SHARES"):

                           (i) 2.0833% as of the Initial Date;

                           (ii) 2.0833% on the last day of each full calendar
month beginning with the first full calendar month following the Initial Date,
PROVIDED HOWEVER, that no further shares of Executive Stock will become Fair
Market Value Shares following the Separation; and

                           (iii) 100% upon a Sale of the Company.

The purchase price for the remaining shares of Executive Stock shall be the
Executive's Original Cost for such shares (the "ORIGINAL COST SHARES").

                  (b) The Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of
the Original Cost Shares and the Fair Market Value Shares by delivering written
notice (the "REPURCHASE NOTICE") to the holder or holders of the Executive Stock
within 180 days after the Separation. The Repurchase Notice will set forth the
number of Original Cost Shares and Fair Market Value Shares to be acquired from
each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such shares and the time
and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of shares to be
repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from
the shares of Executive Stock held by Executive at the time of delivery of the
Repurchase Notice. If the number of shares of Executive Stock then held by
Executive is less than the total number of shares of Executive Stock which the
Company has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining shares
elected to be purchased from the other holder(s) of Executive Stock under this
Agreement, pro rata according to the number of shares of Executive Stock held by
such other holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Repurchase Notice
(determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest share). The number of
Original Cost Shares and Fair Market Value Shares to be repurchased hereunder
will be allocated among Executive and the other holders of Executive Stock (if
any) pro rata according to the number of shares of Executive Stock to be
purchased from such person.

                  (c) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase
all of the Executive Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Option, the Investors,
Bajaj and Pearlstein shall be

                                       3

<Page>

entitled to exercise the Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the shares
of Executive Stock that the Company has not elected to purchase (the "AVAILABLE
SHARES"). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that there
will be Available Shares, but in any event within 150 days after the Separation,
the Company shall give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE") to the Investors,
Bajaj and Pearlstein setting forth the number of Available Shares and the
purchase price for the Available Shares. The Investors, Bajaj and Pearlstein may
elect to purchase any or all of the Available Shares by giving written notice to
the Company within one month after the Option Notice has been given by the
Company. If the Investors, Bajaj and Pearlstein elect to purchase an aggregate
number of shares greater than the number of Available Shares, the Available
Shares shall be allocated among the Investors, Bajaj and Pearlstein based upon
the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each on a fully diluted basis
(excluding, in the case of Bajaj and Pearlstein, Unvested Executive Stock, as
defined in those Senior Management Agreements dated September 7, 2001, among the
Company, DigitalNet and each of Bajaj and Pearlstein, respectively). As soon as
practicable, and in any event within ten days, after the expiration of the
one-month period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of
Executive Stock as to the number of shares being purchased from such holder by
the Investors, Bajaj and Pearlstein (the "SUPPLEMENTAL REPURCHASE NOTICE"). At
the time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to the
holder(s) of Executive Stock, the Company shall also deliver written notice to
the Investors, Bajaj and Pearlstein setting forth the number of shares the
Investors and Bajaj are entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and
the time and place of the closing of the transaction. The number of Original
Cost Shares and Fair Market Value Shares to be repurchased hereunder shall be
allocated among the Company, the Investors, Bajaj and Pearlstein pro rata
according to the number of shares of Executive Stock to be purchased by each of
them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investors, Bajaj and Pearlstein shall
not exercise their Repurchase Option as to the Original Cost Shares pursuant to
this Section 3(c) if the Company has sufficient assets to fully exercise its
Repurchase Option as to the Original Cost Shares but has not exercised such
right.

                  (d) The closing of the purchase of the Executive Stock
pursuant to the Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the
Company in the Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Repurchase Notice, which date
shall not be more than one month nor less than five days after the delivery of
the later of either such notice to be delivered. The Company will pay for the
Executive Stock to be purchased by it pursuant to the Repurchase Option by first
offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Executive to
the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option,
(A) a check or wire transfer of funds, or (B) a check or wire transfer of funds
for at least one-third of the purchase price, and a subordinated note or notes
payable in two equal annual installments beginning on each of the first and
second anniversary of the closing of such purchase and bearing interest (payable
quarterly) at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as published in THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL from time to time in the aggregate amount of the remainder of the
purchase price for such shares. The Investors, Bajaj and Pearlstein will pay for
the Executive Stock purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of funds. The
Company, the Investors, Bajaj and Pearlstein will be entitled to receive
customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale
and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed.

                                       4

                  (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, all repurchases of Executive Stock by the Company shall be subject to
applicable restrictions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law and in
the Company's and its Subsidiaries' debt and equity financing agreements. If any
such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Executive Stock hereunder which the
Company is otherwise entitled or required to make, the Company may make such
repurchases as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions.

                  (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if the Executive delivers the notice of objection described in the
definition of Fair Market Value, or if the Fair Market Value of a Fair Market
Value Share is otherwise determined to be an amount more than 10% greater than
the per share repurchase price for Fair Market Value Shares originally
determined by the Company Board, each of the Company, the Investors, Bajaj and
Pearlstein shall have the right to revoke its or their exercise of the
Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Stock elected to be
repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the
holders of the Executive Stock during (i) the thirty-day period beginning on the
date the Company, the Investors, Bajaj and Pearlstein receive Executive's
written notice of objection and (ii) the thirty-day period beginning on the date
the Company, the Investors and Bajaj are given written notice that the Fair
Market Value of a Fair Market Value Share was finally determined to be an amount
more than 10% greater than the per share repurchase price for Fair Market Value
Shares originally determined by the Company Board.

                  (g) Subject to the restrictions contained in SECTION 4(b)(ii)
hereof, promptly following the occurrence of Public Offering, the Company shall
use all commercially reasonable efforts to file a Form S-8/S-3 under the
Securities Act in order to enable the Executive Stock to be registered under the
Securities Act and to be resold from time to time by Executive; provided that
after the fifth anniversary of the Initial Date, the Executive may only sell
Executive Stock under such Form S-8/S-3 up to a maximum number of shares of
Executive Stock equal to the greater of (x) in any three month period, an amount
equal to the greater of the amount specified in Rule 144(e)(1) (without regard
to any other restriction under Rule 144) and (y) an amount that could be sold by
Executive pursuant to SECTION 4(b) of this Agreement (without regard to SECTION
4(c) of this Agreement).

                  (h) The provisions of SECTION 3(a) through SECTION 3(f),
inclusive, shall terminate immediately prior to consummation of a Liquidity
Event (provided that the Liquidity Event is consummated).

         4. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF EXECUTIVE STOCK.

                  (a) RETENTION OF EXECUTIVE STOCK. Executive shall not sell,
transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any interest in any shares of
Executive Stock, except pursuant to: (i) a Sale of the Company, (ii) Section 3
of this Agreement, (iii) Section 4 of the Stockholders Agreement, (iv) an
Approved Sale (as defined in Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement) or (v) the
provisions of Section 4(b) below.

                  (b) CERTAIN PERMITTED TRANSFERS. The restrictions in this
Section 4 will not apply with respect to (i) transfers of shares of Executive
Stock pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution, (ii) transfer of
shares of Executive Stock among Executive's Family Group, (iii) transfers of
Fair Market Value Shares at such time as the Investors sell shares of Common
Stock in a Public Sale, but in the case of this clause (iii) only an amount of
shares (the "TRANSFER AMOUNT") equal to the lesser of (A) the number of shares
of Fair Market Value Shares owned by Executive and (B) the number of shares of
Executive Stock owned by the Executive, multiplied by a fraction (the "TRANSFER
FRACTION"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock sold
by the Investors and their Affiliates in such Public Sale and the denominator of
which is the total number of shares of Common Stock held by the Investors and
their Affiliates prior to the Public Sale; PROVIDED THAT, if at the time of a
Public Sale of shares by the Investors, the Executive chooses not to Transfer
the Transfer Amount, the Executive shall retain the right to Transfer an amount
of Executive Stock at a future date equal to the lesser of (x) the number of
Fair Market Value Shares owned by Executive at such future date and (y) the
number of shares of Executive Stock owned by Executive at such future date
multiplied by the Transfer Fraction; PROVIDED FURTHER that any in-kind
distributions of Common Stock by the Investors to their limited partners shall
be deemed to be a Public Sale for purposes of this SECTION 4(b)(iii) or (iv)
transfers of Fair Market Value Shares at any time the Common Stock held by the
Investors or their Affiliates is included on a resale registration statement
that is not part of an underwritten offering (the "Resale Shelf"), but in the
case of this clause (iv) only an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the number of
Fair Market Value shares owned by Executive and (B) the number of shares of
Executive Stock owned by Executive, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the total number of shares of Common Stock included by the Investors
and their Affiliates on the Resale Shelf and the denominator of which is the
total number of shares of Common Stock held by the Investors and their
Affiliates prior to the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf. The restrictions
contained in this SECTION 4 will continue to be applicable to the Executive
Stock after any such transfer and the transferees of such Executive Stock have
agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements.

                  (c) TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS. The restrictions on the
Transfer of shares of Executive Stock set forth in this Section 4 will continue
with respect to each share of Executive Stock until the earlier of (i) the date
on which such share of Executive Stock has been transferred in a Public Sale
permitted by this SECTION 4, (ii) the consummation of an Approved Sale, (iii)
the consummation of a Liquidity Event and (iv) the fifth anniversary of the
Initial Date.

         5. ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF EXECUTIVE STOCK.

TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT
OR AN EXEMPTION FROM

PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE."

                  (b) OPINION OF COUNSEL. No holder of Executive Stock may sell,
transfer or dispose of any Executive Stock (except pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to the
Company an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to
the Company) that neither registration nor qualification under the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws is required in connection with such
transfer.

                        PROVISIONS RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT

         6. EMPLOYMENT. The Company and DGS agree to employ Executive and
Executive accepts such employment for the period beginning as of the date hereof

objectives set by the President of the Company. In addition, Executive shall be
eligible to receive a bonus of up to fifty (50%) percent of the Annual Base
Salary based upon the Company's achievement of budgetary and other objectives
set by the President of the Company. Executive's Annual Base Salary for any
partial year will be prorated based upon the number of days elapsed in such
year. In addition, during the Employment Period, Executive will be entitled to
such other benefits approved by the Company Board and made available to the
Company's senior management. Executive will be eligible for grants of options
during the Employment Period approved by the Company Board or a committee

                  (c) SEPARATION. Executive's employment by the Company and DGS
will continue until Executive's resignation, disability (as determined by the
Company in its good faith judgment) or death or until the Company terminates

         7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

                  (a) Executive acknowledges that the business of the Employe
and its Affiliates and its continued success depend upon the use and protection
of a large body of confidential and proprietary information, and that he holds a
position of trust and confidence by virtue of which he necessarily possesses,
has access to and, as a consequence of his signing this Agreement, will continue
to possess and have access to, highly valuable, confidential and proprietary
information of the Company and its Affiliates not known to the public in
general, and that it would be improper for him to make use of this information
for the benefit of himself and others. All of such confidential and proprietary
information now existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in
this Agreement as "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION." This includes, without limitation,
information relating to the nature and operation of the Business, the persons,
firms and corporations which are customers or active prospects of the Company
and its Affiliates during Executive's employment by the Company or its
Affiliates, the development, transition and transformation plans, methodology
and methods of doing business, strategic, acquisition, marketing and expansion
plans, including plans regarding planned and potential acquisitions and sales,
financial and business plans, employee lists, numbers and location of sales
representatives, new and existing programs and services (and those under
development), prices and terms, customer service, integration processes
requirements, costs of providing service, support and equipment and equipment
maintenance costs of the Company and its Affiliates. Confidential Information
shall not include any information that has become generally known to and
available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive's acts or
omissions.

                  (b) Disclosure of any Confidential Information shall not be
prohibited if such disclosure is directly pursuant to a valid and existing order
of a court or other governmental body or agency within the United States;
provided, however, that (i) Executive shall first have given prompt notice to
the Company of any such possible or prospective order (or proceeding pursuant to
which any such order may result) and (ii) Executive shall afford the Company a
reasonable opportunity to prevent or limit any such disclosure.

                  (c) During the Employment Period and at all times thereafter,
Executive will preserve and protect as confidential all of the Confidential
Information known to Executive or at

                                       8

<Page>

any time in Executive's possession or control. In addition, during the
Employment Period and at all times thereafter, Executive will not disclose to
any unauthorized person or use for his own account any of such Confidential
Information without the Company's written consent. Executive agrees to deliver
to the Company at a Separation, or at any other time the Company may request in
writing, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents (and
copies thereof) containing or otherwise relating to any of the Confidential
Information (including, without limitation, all acquisition prospects, lists and
contact information) which he may then possess or have under his control.
Executive acknowledges that all such memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports
and other documents are and at all times will be and remain the property of the
Company.

                  (d) Executive will fully comply with any agreement reasonably
required by any of the Company's affiliates, business partners, suppliers or
contractors with respect to the protection of the confidential and proprietary
information of such entities.

         8. NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION. Executive acknowledges that in
the course of his employment with the Company and its Affiliates he will become
familiar with the Confidential Information and that his services will be of
special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company. Executive agrees that
the Company and its Affiliates have a protectable interest in the Confidential
Information acquired by Executive during the course of his employment with the
Company and its Affiliates. Therefore, Executive agrees that:

                  (a) NONCOMPETITION. So long as Executive is employed or
affiliated with the Company or any of its Affiliates and for an additional (i)
two years thereafter, in the event the Employment Period is terminated as a
result of Executive's resignation or is terminated with Cause or (ii) one year
thereafter, in the event the Employment Period is terminated without Cause (the
"NONCOMPETE PERIOD"), he shall not, anywhere in the United States, directly or
indirectly own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services
for, or in any manner engage in the business or any other business engaged in by
the Company or any of its Affiliates at the time of Separation; provided that in
the event of a termination without Cause, the Company may extend the Noncompete
Period for an additional one-year term by giving notice to Executive ninety (90)
days prior to the end of the then-existing Noncompete Period.

                  (b) NONSOLICITATION. During the Noncompete Period, Executive
shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to
induce any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to leave the employ
of the Company or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship
between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any employee thereof, (ii) hire
any person who was an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates within
180 days prior to the time such employee was hired by the Executive, (iii)
induce or attempt to induce any owner of a site location, customer, supplier,
licensee or other business relation of the Company or any of its Affiliates to
cease doing business with the Company or such Affiliaite or in any way interfere
with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business
relation and the Company or any of its Affiliates or (iv) directly or indirectly
acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any business relating to the

                                       9

<Page>

business of the Company or any of its Affiliates and with which the Company or
any of its Affiliates has entertained discussions or has requested and received
information relating to the acquisition of such business by the Company or any
of its Affiliates in the two-year period immediately preceding a Separation.

                  (c) ENFORCEMENT. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 7
or 8 of this Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that
the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such
circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that
the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover
the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because Executive's
services are unique and because Executive has access to Confidential
Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate
remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of Section 7 or Section 8 of this Agreement, the Company or
any of its successors or assigns shall, in addition to other rights and remedies
existing in its favor, be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or
other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions
of Section 7 or Section 8 from any court of competent jurisdiction.

                  (d) ADDITIONAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Executive acknowledges that
the provisions of this Section are in consideration of: (i) employment with the
Company and DGS and (ii) additional good and valuable consideration as set forth
in this Agreement. Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that the
restrictions contained in Sections 7 and 8 do not preclude Executive from
earning a livelihood, nor does it unreasonably impose limitations on Executive's
ability to earn a living. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that
the potential harm to the Company of its non-enforcement outweighs any harm to
the Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive
acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful
consideration to the restraints imposed upon the Executive by this Agreement,
and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper
protection of the Confidential Information. Executive expressly acknowledges and
agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable
with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area.

recapitalization.

         "FAIR MARKET VALUE" of each share of Executive Stock means the average

exchanges on which such Common Stock may at the time be listed, or, if there

bid and lowest asked prices on all such exchanges at the end of such day, or, if
on any day such Common Stock is not so listed, the average of the bid and asked
prices quoted in the NASDAQ System as of 4:00 P.M., New York time, or, if on any
day such Common Stock is not quoted in the NASDAQ System, of the average of the

the Executive a report within 30 days of its engagement setting forth such
determination. If the parties are unable to agree on an appraiser within 45 days

Objection Notice, within seven days, each party shall submit the names of four
nationally recognized investment banking firms, and each party shall be entitled
to strike two names from the other party's list of firms, and the appraiser
shall be selected by lot from the remaining four investment banking firms. The
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Executive unless the
appraiser's valuation is not less than 10% greater than the amount determined by
the Company's Board of Directors, in which case, the costs of the appraiser
shall be borne by the Company. The determination of such appraiser shall be
final and binding upon all parties. If the Repurchase Option is exercised within

date of such Separation; thereafter, Fair Market Value shall be determined as of
the date the Repurchase Option is exercised.

however, if the Executive's participation in (A) or (B) above shall be reduced
or altered on the same basis and terms as affects all other senior executives of
the Company, it shall not be Good Reason or (v) any material breach by the
Company of any material provision of this Agreement (including failure to pay
Annual Base Salary) that is not cured within 10 days following written notice to
the Company and DGS.

         "LIQUIDITY EVENT" means (i) a Sale of the Company or (ii) the failure

way of a stock split, stock dividend or other recapitalization).

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                           SENIOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

          THIS SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED SENIOR MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made as of March 28, 2003, among DigitalNet
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), DigitalNet, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("DIGITALNET"),
and DigitalNet Government Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of DigitalNet ("DGS"), and Steven Hanau
("EXECUTIVE"). Except as otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used and
not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Management Agreement (as defined below).

          WHEREAS, the Company, DigitalNet, DGS and Executive are parties to an
Amended and Restated Senior Management Agreement dated as of January 23, 2003,
(the "MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"). Shares of Executive Stock become Fair Market Value
Shares in accordance with a schedule pursuant to Section 3(a) of the Management
Agreement.

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1.   ACCELERATED VESTING. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in the Management Agreement, upon the consummation of a Public
Offering, (i) all shares of Executive Stock shall automatically become Fair
Market Value Shares and shall be Fair Market Value Shares for all purposes under
the Management Agreement, except as specifically provided for herein; and (ii)
all of the rights of the Company, the Investors, Bajaj and Pearlstein to
repurchase Executive Stock pursuant to Section 3 of the Management Agreement
shall expire upon consummation of a Public Offering.

          2.   REPAYMENT OF NOTE. Immediately prior to the consummation of any
Public Offering, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Executive Note,
together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be paid by
Executive to the Company. Upon such payment in full, the Executive Note shall be
surrendered to Executive for cancellation and shall not be reissued, in
accordance with Paragraph 6 of the Executive Note.

          3.   TRANSFERS. The holders of Fair Market Value Shares shall not
Transfer any interest in any shares of Executive Stock that become Fair Market
Value Shares pursuant to this Agreement ("IPO VESTING Shares") prior to the date
upon which such IPO Vesting Shares would otherwise have become Fair Market Value
Shares pursuant to the Management Agreement (had this Agreement not been
executed), unless such Transfer would have been permitted under the Management
Agreement (had this Agreement not been executed). All other restrictions on the
Transfer of Fair Market Value Shares pursuant to the Management Agreement (i)
shall apply equally to any IPO Vesting Shares, (ii) remain in full force and
effect and (iii) have not been modified by this Agreement.

<Page>

          4.   REMEDIES. Each of the parties to this Agreement will be entitled
to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages and
costs (including, without limitation, attorney's fees) caused by any breach of
any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its
favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an
adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any
party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of
competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific
performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violations of the provisions of this Agreement.

          5.   AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. The provisions of this Agreement may be
amended and waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and the
Executive.

          6.   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
Executive, the Company, DigitalNet and DGS and their respective successors and
assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent holders of Executive Stock);
provided that the rights and obligations of Executive under this Agreement shall
not be assignable except in connection with a permitted transfer of Executive
Stock. The rights and obligations of GTCR under this Agreement may be assigned
at any time, in whole or in part, to any investment fund managed by GTCR, or any
successor thereto. The rights and obligations of Bajaj and Pearlstein may be
assigned at any time, in whole or in part, to their respective successors and
assigns.

          7.   SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect
any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be

continuance of any Event of Default, then the Borrower's obligations under the
Bridge Notes shall bear interest from the date of the occurrence of such Event

rate charged pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate
permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a
final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court
determines that the Lenders have received interest hereunder in excess of the
highest applicable rate, the amount of such excess interest shall be applied
against the Principal then outstanding to the extent permitted by applicable
law, and any excess interest remaining after such application shall be refunded
promptly to the Borrower.

<Page>

        (a)     Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Lender shall
have the right to require the Borrower to repurchase all or any part of such
Lender's Bridge Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "CHANGE OF
CONTROL OFFER") at an offer price (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT") in cash
equal to one hundred and one percent (101%) of the aggregate outstanding
Principal amount thereof (including without limitation, capitalized interest
thereon) plus accrued and unpaid interest on a date of purchase specified
therein, which specified date cannot be earlier than twenty days following such
Change of Control but shall be no later than thirty (30) days following such
Change of Control (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT DATE"). The Borrower shall
comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and
regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Bridge Notes
as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Agreement
relating to such Change of Control Offer, the Borrower shall comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have
breached its obligations described in this Agreement by virtue thereof.

        (b)     By 12:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern Time on the Change of Control
Payment Date, the Borrower shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment
all Bridge Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer and (2) pay via wire transfer in immediately available funds an
amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Bridge Notes or
portions thereof so tendered. The Borrower shall send to each Lender, that has
tendered its Bridge Notes, the applicable Change of Control Payment for such
Bridge Notes, and the Borrower shall promptly execute and mail to each Lender a
new Bridge Note equal in Principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the
Bridge Notes surrendered, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this SECTION 4.05, prior to compliance with this SECTION 4.05, but in any event
within thirty (30) days following a Change of Control, the Borrower will either
repay all outstanding Senior Indebtedness or obtain the requisite consents, if
any, under all agreements governing outstanding Senior Indebtedness to permit
the repurchase of Bridge Notes required by this SECTION 4.05. The Borrower shall
publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as
practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

        4.06    Direct Payment.

        All payments of Principal and interest due from the Borrower hereunder
shall be due, without any presentment thereof, directly to the Lenders, at the
Lenders' addresses set forth on SCHEDULE 12.08 or such other address as the
Lenders may from time to time designate in writing to the Borrower or, if a bank
account(s) with a United States bank is designated for the Lenders on SCHEDULE
12.08 or in any written notice to the Borrower from the Lenders, the Borrower
will make such payments in immediately available funds to such bank account, no
later than 11:00 a.m. New York City, New York time on the date due, marked for
attention as indicated, or in such other manner or to such other account in any
United States bank as the Lenders may from time to time direct in writing.

        4.07    Taxes.

        (a)     Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Loan Parties
hereunder and under any Bridge Loan Document shall be made, free and clear of
and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings that are or would be applicable to the
Lenders, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (x) income taxes
imposed on the net income of a Lender and (y) franchise taxes imposed on the net
income of a Lender, in each case by the United States or by the jurisdiction
under the laws of which such Lender is organized or qualified to do business or
a jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof in which the Lender engages
in business activity other than activity arising solely from the Lender having
executed this Agreement and having enjoyed its rights

                                       23
<Page>

and performed its obligations under this Agreement or any Bridge Loan Document
or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or
individually, being called "TAXES"). If a Loan Party must deduct any Taxes from
or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan
Document to a Lender, (x) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an
"ADDITIONAL AMOUNT") necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION
4.07 such Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (y) such Loan Party shall make such deductions
and (z) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

        (b)     The Loan Parties will pay to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary
taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that
arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Bridge Loan Document, or from
the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any Bridge Loan Document that are or would be applicable to the
Lenders ("OTHER TAXES").

        (c)     The Loan Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify each
Lender for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Lender and any
liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including Attorney Costs)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority;
provided, however, that if the Loan Parties reasonably believe that such Taxes
were not correctly or legally asserted, such Lender will take reasonable efforts
to cooperate with the Loan Parties to obtain a refund of such Taxes. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by such
Lender absent manifest error, shall be final conclusive and binding for all
purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the
date such Lender makes written demand therefor. The Loan Parties shall have the
right to receive that portion of any refund of any Taxes and Other Taxes
received by a Lender for which any Loan Party has previously paid any additional
amount or indemnified such Lender and which leaves the Lender, after such Loan
Parties' receipt thereof, in no better or worse financial position than if no
such Taxes or Other Taxes had been imposed or additional amounts or
indemnification paid to the Lender. The Lender shall have sole discretion as to
whether (and shall in no event be obligated) to make any such claim for any
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes.

        (d)     A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this
Section 4.07 and setting forth the additional amounts to be paid to it hereunder
shall be presumptive evidence in absence of manifest error.

        (e)     (i)     Each Lender that is not a "United States person" within
        the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "FOREIGN LENDER")
        shall deliver to the Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (or, with
        respect to an assignment of an interest herein, on or prior to the
        effective date of such assignment), two duly signed completed copies of
        either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such
        Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of,
        withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the
        Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor
        thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by
        the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence
        satisfactory to the Borrower that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an
        exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any
        exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from
        time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the
        Borrower such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such
        forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by
        the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available
        under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such
        evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower of any available

                                       24
<Page>

        exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in
        respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the
        Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Borrower of
        any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any
        claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be
        materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such
        Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation
        of its lending office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that
        the Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts
        payable to such Foreign Lender.

                (ii)    Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or
        ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any
        sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Bridge Loan
        Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such
        Lender), shall deliver to the Borrower on the date when such Foreign
        Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of
        any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be
        necessary in the determination of the Borrower (in the reasonable
        exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the
        forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth
        above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with
        respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not
        subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed
        copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any
        information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any
        other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to
        establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with
        respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.

                (iii)   The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional
        amount to any Foreign Lender under SECTION 4.07 (A) with respect to any
        Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the
        information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender
        transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this SECTION 4.07(e) or
        (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions
        of this SECTION 4.07(e); PROVIDED that if such Lender shall have
        satisfied the requirement of this SECTION 4.07(e) on the date such
        Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect
        to any payment under any of the Bridge Loan Documents, nothing in this
        SECTION 4.07(e) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any
        amounts pursuant to SECTION 4.07 in the event that, as a result of any
        change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or
        order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or
        application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to
        deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date
        establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account
        of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan
        Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at
        a reduced rate.

        4.08    Subordination.

        (a)     The properties owned, leased or operated by Holdings and each of
its Subsidiaries now or in the past do not contain, and to their knowledge have
not previously contained, any Hazardous Materials in amounts or concentrations
which (i) constitute or constituted a violation of applicable Environmental Laws
or (ii) could give rise to liability under applicable Environmental Laws, except
where, in the case of clauses (i) or (ii), such violation or liability could not
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material
Adverse Effect;

        (b)     Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries and such properties and
all operations conducted in connection therewith are in compliance, and have
been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no
contamination at, under or about such properties or such operations which could

        (c)     Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any
notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential
liability regarding environmental matters, Hazardous Materials, or compliance
with Environmental Laws, nor does Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries have
knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being
threatened, except where such violation, alleged violation, non-compliance,
liability or potential liability which is the subject of such notice could not
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material
Adverse Effect;

        (d)     Hazardous Materials have not been transported or disposed of to
or from the properties owned, leased or operated by Holdings and its
Subsidiaries in violation of, or in a manner or to a location which could
reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, Environmental Laws, nor
have any Hazardous Materials been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at,
on or under any of such properties in violation of, or in a manner that could

Adverse Effect;

        (e)     No judicial proceedings or governmental or administrative action
is pending, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under any
Environmental Law to which Holdings and its Subsidiaries are or will be named as
a potentially responsible party with respect to such properties or operations
conducted in connection therewith, nor are there any consent decrees or other
decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other
administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law
with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or such properties or such

        6.10    Insurance.

                                       34
<Page>

        The properties of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries are insured with
financially sound and reputable insurance companies which are not Affiliates of
Holdings or the Borrower (unless such insurance is provided on an arms-length
basis), in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are
customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning
similar properties in localities where Holdings and such Subsidiaries operates.

        6.11    Taxes.

        Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal, state and
other material tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all
Federal, state and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other
governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or
assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate
reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP. Such tax returns and
reports accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of
Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby. There is no
ongoing audit or examination or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, other
investigation by any Governmental Authority of the tax liability of Holdings and
its Subsidiaries and no Governmental Authority has asserted any Lien or other
claim against any Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to unpaid
taxes which has not been discharged or resolved, in each case, except as could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges,
accruals and reserves on the books of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in respect
of federal, state, local and other taxes for the Fiscal Year 2002 and Fiscal
Years occurring thereafter, Holdings and its Subsidiaries are in the judgment of
Holdings and the Borrower adequate, and Holdings and the Borrower do not
anticipate any material amount of additional taxes or assessments for any of
such years. There is no proposed tax assessment against Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries that would, if made, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

        6.12    ERISA Compliance.

        (a)     As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any ERISA
Affiliate maintains or contributes to, or has any obligation under, any Pension
Plans or Multiemployer Plans other than those identified on SCHEDULE 6.12(a).

        (b)     Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, (i) each Plan is in compliance with the applicable provisions of
ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state Laws and (ii) each Plan that is
intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable
determination letter from the IRS or an application for such a letter is
currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the best
knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause
the loss of, such qualification. Furthermore, the Borrower and each ERISA
Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section
412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any
amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with
respect to any Plan.

        (c)     There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority,
with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the
fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

        (d)     (i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to
occur; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability; (iii) neither
the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or

                                       35
<Page>

reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect
to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section
4007 of ERISA); (iv) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred,
or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which,
with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such
liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer
Plan; (v) except as disclosed on SCHEDULE 6.12(d), neither the Borrower nor any
ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections
4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) except as could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any ERISA
Affiliate has engaged in a nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

        6.13    Certain Federal Regulations.

        (a)     Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged,
principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of
"purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" (as each such term is defined or
used in Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying margin stock. No part of the proceeds of any of the
Bridge Notes will be used for purchasing or carrying margin stock or for any
purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of
Regulation T, U or X issued by the FRB.

        (b)     Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries or any Person
Controlling Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (i) is a "holding company," or a
"subsidiary company" of a "holding company," or an "affiliate" of a "holding
company" or of a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company," within the meaning
of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, or (ii) is or is required to
be registered as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, and the Borrower is not an "affiliated person" of, or
"promoter" or "principal underwriter" for, an "investment company," as such
terms are defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

        6.14    Disclosure.

        The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments
and corporate or other restrictions to which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
No financial statement, material report, material certificate or other material
information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries to the Lenders in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder
(as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any
material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; PROVIDED that, with respect to projected financial
information, pro forma financial information and estimated financial
information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in
good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

        6.15    Compliance with Laws.

        Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material
respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions
and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in
which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b)
the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       36
<Page>

        6.16    Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc.

        Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use,
all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent
rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights
(collectively, "IP RIGHTS") that are reasonably necessary for the operation of
their respective businesses, without conflict with the rights of any other
Person, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. To the best knowledge of Holdings and the Borrower, no slogan or other
advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material
now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries infringes upon any IP Rights held by any other Person. Except as
specifically disclosed in SCHEDULE 6.16, to the best knowledge of Holdings and
the Borrower, (i) no event has occurred which permits, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination of any material IP
Rights, and (ii) neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is liable to any
Person for infringement under applicable Law with respect to any such IP Rights
as a result of its business operations.

        6.17    Employee Relations.

        Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries has not had an undue level of
employee attrition in place and is not, as of the Closing Date, party to any
collective bargaining agreement nor has any labor union been recognized as the
representative of its employees except as set forth on SCHEDULE 6.17. Holdings
and the Borrower know of no pending, threatened or contemplated strikes, work
stoppage or other collective labor disputes involving its respective employees
or those of its respective Subsidiaries.

        6.18    Material Government Contracts.

        SCHEDULE 6.18 sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Material
Government Contracts of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in effect as of the
Closing Date (except for classified Material Government Contracts which may not
be disclosed to third parties pursuant to the express written terms thereof).
Other than as set forth in SCHEDULE 6.18, each such Material Government Contract
in existence on the Closing Date is, and after giving effect to the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Bridge Loan Documents will be in full
force and effect as of the Closing Date in accordance with the terms thereof.
Holdings and its Subsidiaries have made available for review by BAMC a true and
complete copy of each Material Government Contract required to be listed on
SCHEDULE 6.18 (expect for classified Material Government Contracts which may not
be disclosed to third parties pursuant to the express written terms thereof). As
of the Closing Date, neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries (nor, to the
knowledge of Holdings and the Borrower, any other party thereto) is in breach of

        Each Lender, severally and not jointly, represent and warrant only as to
itself to the Borrower and Holdings as follows:

                (a)     It is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined
        in Rule 501 of the Securities Act, and that, in making the purchases
        contemplated herein, it is specifically understood and agreed that such
        Lender is acquiring the Bridge Loan Securities for the purpose of
        investment and not with a view towards the sale or distribution thereof
        within the meaning of the Securities Act; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
        disposition of such Lender's property shall at all times be and remain
        within its control.

                (b)     It understands that the Bridge Loan Securities will not
        be registered under the Securities Act or any state or other securities
        law, by reason of their issuance by Holdings and the Borrower in a
        transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
        Act and state and other securities laws, and that it must hold the
        Bridge Loan Securities indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition
        thereof is registered under the Securities Act and applicable state
        securities laws or is exempt from registration.

                (c)     It understands that the exemption from registration
        afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to such Lender)
        promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act depends on the
        satisfaction of various conditions, including the requirement that
        Holdings and the Borrower have been subject to the reporting
        requirements of Section 13 or Section 15 of the Exchange Act for at
        least 90 days, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 affords the basis for
        sales only in limited amounts and that Holdings and the Borrower do not
        now qualify under Rule 144 and may not ever qualify.

                (d)     It has not employed any broker or finder in connection
        with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                (e)     It has been furnished with or has had access to the
        information it has requested from Holdings and the Borrower and has had
        an opportunity to discuss with the management of Holdings and the
        Borrower the business and financial affairs of the Loan Parties, and has
        generally such knowledge and experience in business and financial
        matters and with respect to investments in securities or privately held
        companies so as to enable it to understand and evaluate the risks of
        such investment and form an investment decision with respect thereto;
        PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall in no way affect, diminish
        or derogate from the representations and warranties made by Holdings and
        the Borrower hereunder or the right of the Lenders to rely thereon and
        to seek indemnification hereunder.

                (f)     The execution, delivery and performance of this
        Agreement and the other Bridge Loan Documents to which it is a party are
        within its organizational power and authority and have been duly
        authorized by all necessary action of such Lender, do not conflict with
        or result in a breach of or violate any of such Lender's governing
        documents or any Contractual Obligation or any Requirement of Law and
        constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of such Lender
        enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms except
        as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
        reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other
        similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the
        enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general equitable
        principles.

                (g)     Either (i) no part of the funds to be used by such
        Lender to acquire or hold the Bridge Notes or the Warrants constitutes
        assets of any "employee benefit plan" within the meaning

                                       40
<Page>

        of Section 3(3) of ERISA or any "plan" within the meaning of Section
        4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) the acquisition and holding of
        the Bridge Notes and the Warrants by such Lender is exempt from the
        restrictions on prohibited transactions of ERISA and the Internal
        Revenue Code pursuant to one or more statutory, regulatory or
        administrative exemptions.

Documents to be more restrictive to Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries than the
existing financial covenants (and the related financial definitions used

        Holdings hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders and their
respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt payment
and performance of all Bridge Loan Obligations (other than obligations under the

Borrower, whether primary or secondary (whether by way of endorsement or

<Page>

        9.02    Nature of Guaranty.

        (a)     Holdings agrees that this Parent Guaranty is a continuing,
unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and
that its obligations under this Parent Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:

                        (i)     the genuineness, validity, regularity,
                enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this
                Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document or any other
                agreement, document or instrument to which Holdings, the
                Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof or any Affiliate thereof is or
                may become a party;

                        (ii)    the absence of any action to enforce this Parent
                Guaranty, this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document or
                the waiver or consent by any Lender with respect to any of the
                provisions of this Parent Guaranty, this Agreement or any other
                Bridge Loan Document;

                        (iii)   any structural change in, restructuring of or
                similar change of Holdings, the Borrower or any of their
                Subsidiaries; or

                        (iv)    any other action or circumstances which might
                otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense
                of a surety or guarantor;

it being agreed by Holdings that its obligations under this Parent Guaranty
shall not be discharged until the final and indefeasible payment and
performance, in full, of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent
indemnity obligations).

        (b)     Holdings represents, warrants and agrees that its obligations
under this Parent Guaranty are not and shall not be subject to any
counterclaims, offsets or defenses of any kind against the Lenders or the
Borrower whether now existing or which may arise in the future.

        (c)     Holdings hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Guaranteed
Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,
contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance
upon this Parent Guaranty, and all dealings between Holdings, the Borrower and
any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other
hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in
reliance upon this Parent Guaranty.

        9.03    Waivers.

        To the extent permitted by law, Holdings expressly waives all of the
following rights and defenses (and agrees not to take advantage of or assert any
such right or defense):

                (a)     rights it may now or in the future have under any
        statute, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel any Lender to
        proceed in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations against the Borrower or
        any other Person or against any security for or other guaranty of the
        payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations before proceeding
        against, or as a condition to proceeding against, Holdings;

                (b)     any defense based upon the failure of any Lender to
        commence an action in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations against
        Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor,

                                       63
<Page>

        any other guarantor or any other Person or any security for the payment
        and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

                (c)     any right to insist upon, plead or in any manner
        whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal,
        valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets or redemption laws, or
        exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
        delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Holdings of its
        obligations under, or the enforcement by the Lenders of, this Parent
        Guaranty;

                (d)     any right of diligence, presentment, demand, protest and
        notice (except as specifically required herein) of whatever kind or
        nature with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and waives, to
        the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all provisions of law which
        are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Parent Guaranty; and

                (e)     any and all right to notice of the creation, renewal,
        extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of
        or proof of reliance by any Lender upon, or acceptance of, this Parent
        Guaranty.

        Holdings agrees that any notice or directive given at any time to any
Lender which is inconsistent with any of the foregoing waivers shall be null and
void and may be ignored by such Lender, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or
introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Parent Guaranty for
the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the
written terms of this Parent Guaranty, unless the Required Lenders have
specifically agreed otherwise in writing. The foregoing waivers are of the
essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Bridge
Loan Documents and, but for this Parent Guaranty and such waivers, the Lenders

        reasonable discretion.

        9.05    Demand by Required Lenders.

        In addition to the terms set forth in this ARTICLE IX, and in no manner
imposing any limitation on such terms, if all or any portion of the then
outstanding Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement are declared to be
immediately due and payable, then Holdings shall, subject to SECTION 9.10 and
ARTICLE IX, upon demand in writing therefor by the Required Lenders to Holdings,
pay all or such portion of the outstanding Guaranteed Obligations then declared
due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holdings agrees that, in the
event of the dissolution or insolvency of Holdings, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, or the inability or failure of Holdings, the Borrower or
any Subsidiary Guarantor to pay debts as they become due, or an assignment by
Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of creditors,
or the commencement of any case or proceeding in respect of Holdings, the
Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
laws, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Guaranteed
Obligations may not then be due and payable, Holdings will, subject to SECTION
9.10 and ARTICLE IX, pay to the Lenders and their respective successors,
indorsees, transferees and assigns, forthwith the full amount which would be
payable hereunder by Holdings if all such Guaranteed Obligations were then due
and payable.

        9.06    Remedies.

        Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
the Required Lenders may enforce against Holdings its obligations and
liabilities hereunder and exercise such other rights and remedies as may be
available to the Lenders under the other Bridge Loan Documents or otherwise.

        9.07    Reinstatement.

        Holdings agrees that, if any payment made by the Borrower or any other
Person applied to the Guaranteed Obligations is at any time annulled, set aside,
rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise
required to be refunded or repaid, by any Lender to the Borrower, its estate,
trustee, receiver or any other Person, including, without limitation, Holdings
or any Subsidiary Guarantor, under any applicable Law or equitable cause, then,
to the extent of such payment or repayment, Holdings' liability hereunder shall
be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never
been

                                       65
<Page>

made, and, if prior thereto, this Parent Guaranty shall have been canceled or
surrendered, this Parent Guaranty shall be reinstated in full force and effect,
and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge,
impair or otherwise affect the obligations of Holdings in respect of the amount
of such payment.

        9.08    Payments.

        Payments by Holdings shall be made to the Lenders, to be credited and
applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, in immediately available Dollars to an
account designated by the Lenders or at any other address that may be specified
in writing from time to time by the Lenders.

        9.09    No Subrogation.

        Until all amounts owing to the Lenders on account of the Guaranteed
Obligations are paid in full, Holdings hereby waives any claims or other rights
which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrower that arise from the
existence or performance of Holdings' obligations under this Parent Guaranty,
including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of
the Lenders against the Borrower or any collateral which the Lenders now have or
may hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in
equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder
or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from
the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or
in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other
rights. If any amount shall be paid to Holdings on account of such rights at any
time when all of the Bridge Loan Obligations shall not have been paid in full,
such amount shall be held by Holdings in trust for the Lenders, segregated from
other funds of Holdings, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Holdings, be
turned over to the Lenders in the exact form received by Holdings (duly indorsed
by Holdings to the Lenders, if required) to be applied against the Bridge Loan
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as set forth herein.

        9.10    Guaranty Subordinated.

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this ARTICLE IX,
this Parent Guaranty is subordinated to all Senior Indebtedness to the same
extent as the Bridge Notes are subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness and the
provisions of ARTICLE XI are hereby incorporated herein by reference with all
references to Subordinated Obligations to include Holdings' obligations under
this ARTICLE IX and all references to the Borrower to include Holdings.

                Indebtedness (other than the Senior Indebtedness) having an
                aggregate principal amount (including undrawn committed or

                have a Material Adverse Effect, unless, but only as long as, the
                existence of any such default is being contested by Holdings,
                the Borrower or any such Subsidiary in good faith by appropriate
                proceedings and adequate reserves in respect thereof have been
                established on the books of Holdings, the Borrower or any such
                Subsidiary to the extent required by GAAP; or

                        (iii)   An Event of Default (as defined in the Senior

        rehabilitator or similar officer is appointed without the application or
        consent of such Person and the appointment continues undischarged or
        unstayed for 60 calendar days; or any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
        Law relating to any such Person or to all or any material part of its

        insurance as to which the insurer does not dispute coverage), or (ii)
        any one or more non-monetary final judgments that have, or could
        reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
        Material Adverse Effect and, in either case, (A) enforcement proceedings
        are commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or order, or (B) there
        is a period of 30 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of
        such judgment, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, is not in
        effect; or

        reason other than as expressly permitted hereunder or satisfaction in
        full of all the Bridge Loan Obligations, ceases to be in full force and
        effect; or any Loan Party or any other Person contests in any manner the
        validity or enforceability of any Bridge Loan Document; or any Loan
        Party denies that it has any or further liability or obligation under
        any Bridge Loan Document, or purports to revoke, terminate or rescind

                form and substance satisfactory to the Agent).

        10.02   Remedies Upon Event of Default.

        If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then (A) if such event
is an Event of Default specified in SECTION 10.01(f) or SECTION 10.01(g), all of
the Bridge Notes shall automatically become immediately due and payable,
together with interest accrued thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower and Holdings,
(B) if such event is an Event of Default specified in SECTION 10.01(a), any
Lender may, at its option and subject to SECTION 11.02(iii), declare by notice

        If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, subject to the
provisions of ARTICLE XI, any Lender may proceed to protect and enforce its
rights under this Agreement, the Bridge Notes and any other Bridge Loan Document
by exercising such remedies as are available under applicable law, either by
suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for specific performance of
any covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted in this Agreement. No remedy conferred in this
Agreement upon any Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and
each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other
remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise.

        rescinded or annulled declaration) shall have been duly paid, unless the
        same specifically has been waived in writing by the Required Lenders;
        and

                (iii)   each and every other Event of Default shall have been
        made good, cured or waived;

and PROVIDED FURTHER that no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or
affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

and in the manner provided in this ARTICLE XI, to the prior payment in full in
cash of all the Senior Indebtedness and that these subordination provisions are
for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness. This ARTICLE XI shall

        payment (a "PAYMENT DEFAULT") of any Principal of, premium, if any, or
        interest on any Senior Indebtedness or any obligation owing under or in
        respect of Senior Indebtedness, and ending on the earliest of

        (A) the date that all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, (B)
        the date on which the Senior Indebtedness to which such Payment Default
        relates is paid in full in cash or such default is cured, and (C) the
        date on which such Payment Default is waived in writing in accordance
        with the instruments governing such Senior Indebtedness by the holders
        of such Senior Indebtedness (or any requisite percentage thereof).

                (ii)    LIMITED BLOCKAGE PERIOD. Notwithstanding anything in
        this Agreement or the Bridge Loan Documents to the contrary (other than
        SECTION 11.11), if any default other than a Payment Default (an "OTHER
        DEFAULT") with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, as such default is
        defined in the instrument under which it is outstanding, has occurred
        and is continuing and permits the holders (or any requisite percentage
        thereof) (with or without the passage of time or delivery of notice) to
        declare such Senior Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on
        which it would otherwise have become due and payable, then during the
        period (the "LIMITED BLOCKAGE PERIOD") commencing on the date that the
        Borrower and BAMC receive written notice (a "DEFAULT NOTICE") of such
        Other Default from the Agent stating that a Limited Blockage Period will
        commence and ending on the earliest of: (A) one hundred seventy nine
        (179) consecutive days after such date, (B) the date, if any, on which
        the Senior Indebtedness to which such Other Default relates is paid in
        full or such Other Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance
        with the instruments governing such Senior Indebtedness by the holders
        of such Senior Indebtedness (or any requisite percentage thereof), and
        (C) the date on which the Borrower and BAMC receive from the Agent
        written notice that the Limited Blockage Period has been terminated, no
        payment shall be made by or on behalf of the Borrower on account of the
        principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Bridge Notes or other
        Subordinated Obligations, or to defease or acquire any of the Bridge
        Notes for cash or property, or on account of the redemption provisions
        of the Bridge Notes or this Agreement; provided, that no Default Notice
        shall be required and a Limited Blockage Period shall commence
        automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section
        10.01(n) of the Senior Credit Agreement in effect as of the Closing
        Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, only one
        (1) Limited Blockage Period may be commenced within any period of three
        hundred sixty five (365) consecutive days and not more than an aggregate
        of three (3) Limited Blockage Periods may be commenced during the term
        of this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, no default that
        formed the basis of such Limited Blockage Period shall be, or be made,
        the basis for the commencement of any subsequent Limited Blockage Period
        unless such default is cured or waived for a period of not less than
        forty-five (45) consecutive days; PROVIDED, that, it being acknowledged
        that any breach of any financial covenants for a period commencing on or
        after the commencement of such Limited Blockage Period that would give
        rise to an Other Default, pursuant to any provision under which an Other
        Default previously existed or was continuing, shall constitute a new
        Other Default.

                (iii)   LIMITATION ON REMEDIES. "REMEDIES" shall mean, with
        respect to an Event of Default hereunder, the acceleration of the Bridge
        Loan Obligations or the exercise of any remedies in respect of such
        Event of Default (including, without limitation, the right to sue
        Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or to file or participate in
        any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding against Holdings, the Borrower or
        any of their respective Subsidiaries). Notwithstanding anything in this
        Agreement or the Bridge Loan Documents to the contrary (other than
        SECTION 11.11), no Lender shall exercise any Remedies in respect of any
        Event of Default unless such Lender shall have given written notice to
        the Borrower and the Agent (1) that it is presently entitled to exercise
        Remedies with respect to such Event of Default and (2) that it intends
        to exercise such Remedies and a period of ten (10) Business Days shall
        have elapsed from the receipt of such Remedies Notice by the Agent;
        PROVIDED, that (x) such ten (10) Business Day period shall be extended
        to one hundred fifty (150) days (including the ten (10) Business Day

                                       71
<Page>

        period) if the Agent shall have given written notice (a "STANDSTILL
        EXTENSION NOTICE") to BAMC during such ten (10) Business Day period
        electing such extension to one hundred fifty (150) days (including the
        ten (10) Business Day period) and (y) the period during which the
        Lenders shall be prohibited from exercising Remedies shall terminate
        prior to the end of such ten (10) Business Day or one hundred fifty
        (150) day period (the "STANDSTILL PERIOD"), as the case may be, upon the
        earliest to occur of: (A) the acceleration of the Senior Indebtedness,
        (B) an Event of Default specified in SECTION 10.01(f) occurs, (C) the
        waiver or amendment by or on behalf of the lenders under the Senior
        Credit Documents (or any requisite percentage thereof) of the
        restrictions, during such Standstill Period, on asset sales or
        dispositions or an IPO by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries so as to
        permit the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to transfer or apply the
        Net Cash Proceeds from such asset sales or dispositions or IPO to or for
        the benefit of any holders of long-term Indebtedness of Holdings or its
        Subsidiaries other than to repay obligations under the Senior Credit
        Documents or Bridge Loan Obligations, (D) the waiver or amendment,
        during such Standstill Period, by or on behalf of the lenders under the
        Senior Credit Documents (or any requisite percentage thereof) of the
        prohibition on the creation or existence of liens on property, revenue
        or assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries so as to permit the
        creation or existence of liens (other than judgment liens) securing
        payment of Indebtedness of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which
        ranks PARI PASSU with the Bridge Notes or is subordinate or junior in
        right of payment to the Bridge Notes, (E) assets constituting more than
        fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate assets (calculated on a
        book-value basis) of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
        are sold or otherwise disposed of (other than to a Person which is
        either wholly-owned by Holdings or a wholly-owned Subsidiary thereof)
        outside of the ordinary course of business for less than fair value, (F)
        any payment or distribution of any character (other than payments of
        trade payables, capitalized leases and accrued expenses), whether in
        cash, securities or other property of the Borrower or any of its
        Subsidiaries shall be made to or received by any holder of any
        Indebtedness which is on the same level of priority with or junior and
        subordinate in right of payment to the Bridge Notes, or (G) such time as
        the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or any requisite percentage thereof)
        consent in writing to the termination of the Standstill Period. Upon the
        termination of any Standstill Period, then the Lenders may, at their
        respective elections, exercise any and all remedies (including
        acceleration of the maturity of the Bridge Notes) available to them
        under this Agreement or applicable law; PROVIDED that the Indefinite
        Blockage Period or the Limited Blockage Period, as the case may be, (if
        not also terminated) shall continue for its full period notwithstanding
        the termination of the Standstill Period.

                (iv)    In furtherance of the provisions of SECTION 11.01, in
        the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this SECTION
        11.02, any payment or distribution of assets on account of principal of,
        premium, if any, or interest on the Bridge Notes or other Subordinated
        Obligations or to defease or acquire any of the Bridge Notes for cash,
        property or securities, or on account of the redemption provisions of
        the Bridge Notes shall be made by or on behalf of any Loan Party and
        received by any Lender, at a time when such payment or distribution was
        prohibited by the provisions of this SECTION 11.02 then, unless such
        payment or distribution is no longer prohibited by this SECTION 11.02,
        such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust by such
        Lender for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, and
        shall be promptly paid or delivered by such Lenders to the holders of
        the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid or unprovided for or their
        representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under
        any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such
        Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the
        aggregate amounts on account of the Senior Indebtedness held or
        represented by each, to the extent necessary to enable payment in full
        in cash, of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving
        effect to all concurrent payments and distributions and all provisions
        therefor, to or for the Lenders of such Senior Indebtedness.

        11.03   Bridge Notes Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Senior
                Indebtedness on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization.

        Upon any distribution of assets of any Loan Party upon any dissolution,
winding up, total or partial liquidation or reorganization of any of such Loan
Party, whether voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership
or similar proceeding or upon assignment for the benefit of creditors:

                (i)     the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be
        entitled to receive payments in full in cash of the principal of,
        premium, if any, and interest on and other amounts payable in respect
        thereof, before the Lenders are entitled to receive any payment on
        account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bridge
        Notes and the other Subordinated Obligations (other than Principal,
        interest or premium paid with Junior Securities);

                (ii)    any payment or distribution of assets of any Loan Party
        of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other
        than Principal, interest or premium paid with Junior Securities), to
        which the Lenders would be entitled except for the provisions of this
        ARTICLE XI, shall be promptly paid by the liquidating trustee or agent
        or other Person making such a payment or distribution, directly to the
        holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative, ratably
        according to the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held or
        represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full in
        cash of all such Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving
        effect to all concurrent payments and distributions and all provisions
        therefor to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and

                (iii)   in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
        payment or distribution of assets of any Loan Party of any kind or
        character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by
        the Lenders on account of Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
        the Bridge Notes or other Subordinated Obligations (other than
        Principal, interest or premium paid with Junior Securities), as the case
        may be, before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, such
        payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust by such
        Lender for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, or
        their respective representative, ratably according to the respective
        amounts of Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the
        extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all such Senior
        Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to all concurrent
        payments and distributions and all provisions therefor to or for the
        holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

        The Borrower shall give written notice to the Lenders within three days
of receipt of notice of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization of the Borrower or assignment for the benefit of creditors by the
Borrower.

        11.04   Noteholders to Be Subrogated to Rights of Holders of
                Senior Indebtedness.

                (i)     Subject to the prior payment in full in cash of all
        Senior Indebtedness, the Lenders of the Bridge Notes shall be subrogated
        to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive
        payments or distributions of assets of the Borrower applicable to the
        Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Bridge Notes shall be
        paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, and for the purpose of such
        subrogation no such payments or distributions to the holders of such
        Senior Indebtedness by or on behalf of the Borrower, or by or on behalf
        of the

                                       73
<Page>

        Lenders by virtue of this ARTICLE XI, which otherwise would have been
        made to the Lenders shall, as between the Borrower and the Lenders, be
        deemed to be payment by the Borrower, to or on account of such Senior
        Indebtedness in respect thereof, it being understood that the provisions
        of this ARTICLE XI are and are intended solely for the purpose of
        defining the relative rights of the Lenders, on the one hand, and the
        holders of such Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

                (ii)    If any payment or distribution to which the Lenders
        would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this
        ARTICLE XI shall have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this
        ARTICLE XI, to the payment of amounts payable under the Senior
        Indebtedness, then the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from the
        holders of such Senior Indebtedness any payments or distributions
        received by such holders of the Senior Indebtedness in excess of the
        amount sufficient to pay all amounts payable under or in respect of such
        Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.

        11.05   Subdebt Obligations of the Borrower Unconditional.

        Nothing contained in this ARTICLE XI or elsewhere in this Agreement or
in the Bridge Notes is intended to or shall impair, as between the Borrower and
the Lenders, the obligation of the Borrower, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the Lenders the Principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bridge Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable
in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative
rights of the Lenders and creditors of the Borrower other than the holders of
the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or in the Bridge Notes
prevent any Lender from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Agreement, except as provided under this
ARTICLE XI. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE XI or
elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Bridge Notes, upon any distribution of
assets of any Loan Party referred to in this ARTICLE XI, the Lenders shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent
jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization proceedings are pending, which order, decree or certificate
expressly gives effect to the provisions of this ARTICLE XI, or a certificate of
the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the
Lenders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in
such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness
of the Borrower, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts
paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
ARTICLE XI.

        11.06   Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions
                of the Borrower or Holders of the Senior Indebtedness.

        No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to
enforce subordination provisions contained in this ARTICLE XI shall at any time
be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Loan
Party or by any noncompliance by any Loan Party with the terms of this
Agreement. The holders of the Senior Indebtedness, subject to the restrictions
set forth in this Agreement, (a) may extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of
the Senior Indebtedness or any security therefor and (b) release, sell or
exchange such security and otherwise deal freely with any Loan Party all without
affecting the liabilities and obligations of the parties to this Agreement or
the Lenders.

        11.07   Not to Prevent Events of Default.

        The failure to make a payment on account of Principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on the Bridge Notes by reason of any provision of this ARTICLE
XI shall not be construed as preventing the

                                       74
<Page>

occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under this Agreement or in any
way prevent the Lenders from exercising any right hereunder other than as
provided in this ARTICLE XI.

        11.08   Amendments.

        So long as any Senior Indebtedness remains unpaid, the provisions of
this ARTICLE XI, may not be modified, rescinded or canceled in whole or in part
without the prior written consent thereto of the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness (or any requisite percentage thereof).

        11.09   Insolvency.

        The provisions of this ARTICLE XI shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior
Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior
Indebtedness as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or
similar proceeding of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, all as
though such payment had not been made other than as set forth in SECTION 11.03.

        11.10   Proofs of Claim.

        If, while any Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, any Event of Default
under SECTION 10.01(f) occurs, the Lenders shall take such action as the Agent
may reasonably request to collect any payment with respect to the Bridge Loan
Obligations for the account of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and to
file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Bridge Loan
Obligations. Upon the failure of any Lender to take any such action as of the
10th Business Day preceding the bar date therefor, the Agent is hereby
irrevocably authorized and empowered, but shall have no obligation, to demand,
sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in
respect of this Agreement or the Bridge Loan Obligations and to file claims and
proofs of claim and take such other action as it may deem necessary or advisable
for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of such Lender
with respect to this Agreement or the Bridge Loan Obligations. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any holder of any Senior Indebtedness shall
have any right whatsoever to vote any claim that the Lenders may have in such
proceeding to accept or reject any plan or partial or complete liquidation,
reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension; PROVIDED, that the
Lenders shall not vote with respect to any such plan or take any other action in
any way so as to contest (i) the relative rights and duties of any holders of
any Senior Indebtedness established in any instruments or agreements creating or
evidencing any of the Senior Indebtedness with respect to any such collateral or
guaranties or (ii) the Lenders' obligations and agreements set forth in this
ARTICLE XI. The Lenders also agree that they will not contest the validity,
priority or perfection of any Lien granted or created by the Loan Parties in
favor of the Agent, with respect to Senior Indebtedness.

        11.11   IPO.

        The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, the Net Cash Proceeds of any IPO shall be used
to first repay the Bridge Loan Obligations prior to any payment (optional,
mandatory or otherwise) of the Senior Indebtedness; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if,
an event of default under Section 10.01(a) of the Senior Credit Agreement in
effect as of the Closing Date (a "SENIOR PAYMENT DEFAULT") or Section 10.01(b)
of the Senior Credit Agreement in effect as of the Closing Date (but only to the
extent such event of default under Section 10.01(b) arises solely as a result of
Section 8.17(a) or Section 8.17(b) of the Senior Credit Agreement in effect as
of the Closing Date (a "LEVERAGE COVENANT DEFAULT")) shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time of such IPO, the Loan Parties shall FIRST, within five
(5) Business Days of such IPO, (x) with respect to a Senior Payment Default, use
the portion of Net Cash Proceeds of such IPO necessary to cure such Senior
Payment Default and/or (y) with respect to a Leverage

                                       75
<Page>

Covenant Default, use the portion of Net Cash Proceeds of such IPO necessary to
reduce Consolidated Funded Indebtedness in an amount necessary to cure such
Leverage Covenant Default and SECOND, within six (6) Business Days of such IPO,
use the remaining Net Cash Proceeds of such IPO to repay the Bridge Loan
Obligations. The parties agree that (A) upon the occurrence of the events
described in the proviso above and/or (B) if an event of default under SECTION
8.17(c) or SECTION 8.17(d) of the Senior Credit Agreement as in effect on the
Closing Date shall have occurred and be continuing as of the closing of such
IPO, (i) no payments shall otherwise be made on the Bridge Loan Obligations for
a period beginning on the date of the closing of an IPO and ending on the date
five (5) Business Days thereafter and (ii) the Lenders hereunder shall not
exercise any Remedies beginning on the date of the closing of an IPO and ending
on the date five (5) Business Days thereafter. In the event of an IPO,
notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, the
limitations on payments and Remedies set forth in the preceding sentence are the
only restrictions and limitations applicable to the Bridge Loan Obligations and
the Lenders.

        12.09   Legend.

        Each Bridge Note will bear legends in substantially the following forms:

        THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT
        BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY
        STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS THE BORROWER
        HAS RECEIVED A WRITTEN OPINION FROM COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE
        SATISFACTORY TO THE BORROWER STATING THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN
        COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

        PAYMENTS IN RESPECT OF THIS BRIDGE NOTE ARE SUBORDINATED, TO THE EXTENT
        SPECIFIED IN THE BRIDGE LOAN AGREEMENT, TO PAYMENTS OF CERTAIN SENIOR

        12.10   Confidentiality; Public Announcements.

                        (i)     The Lenders shall use its best efforts not to

                Borrower in writing as confidential, including financial terms
                and financial and organizational information contained in any
                documents, statements, certificates, materials or information
                furnished, or to be furnished, by the Borrower in connection
                with the Bridge Notes contemplated by this Agreement; PROVIDED,
                HOWEVER, that

                                       78
<Page>

                the foregoing shall not be construed, now or in the future, to
                apply to any information reflected in any recorded document,
                information which is independently developed by the Lenders,
                information obtained from sources other than the Borrower or
                information that is or becomes in the public domain, nor shall
                it be construed to prevent the Lenders from (i) making any
                disclosure of any information (A) if required to do so by any
                Requirement of Law, (B) to any Governmental Authority having or
                claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of the
                Lenders' business or that of the corporate parent or affiliates
                of the Lenders in connection with the exercise of such authority
                or claimed authority, or (C) pursuant to subpoena; or (ii) to
                the extent the Lenders or its counsel deems necessary or
                appropriate to do so to effect or preserve its security, if any,
                for any applicable investment or financing or to enforce any
                remedy provided herein or in any applicable investment or
                financing documents or otherwise available by law; or (iii)
                making, on a confidential basis, such disclosures as the Lenders
                deems necessary or appropriate to such Lenders' legal counsel or
                accountants (including outside auditors) (it being understood
                that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
                informed of the confidential nature of such information and
                instructed to keep such information confidential); or (iv)
                making such disclosures as the Lenders reasonably deems
                necessary or appropriate to any bank or financial institution or
                other entity, and/or counsel to or other representatives of such
                bank or financial institution or other entity, to which the
                Lenders in good faith desires to sell an interest in any
                applicable investment or financing; provided, however, that such
                bank, financial institution or other entity or counsel to or
                representative thereof, agrees to take reasonable steps to
                maintain the confidentiality of such disclosures (it being
                understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will
                be informed of the confidential nature of such information and
                instructed to keep such information confidential).

                        (ii)    The Required Lenders shall have the right to
                review and approve, such approval not to be unreasonably
                withheld, any public announcement or public filing made after
                the Closing Date relating to the Bridge Notes, or to the Lenders
                in any way before any such announcement or filing is announced
                or filed, provided, however, no review or approval shall be
                required for any such announcement or filing required to be
                announced or filed by law. In addition, the Lenders shall
                provide the Borrower an opportunity to review and approve any
                public announcement issued by the Lenders specifically relating
                to the Bridge Notes, such approval not to be unreasonably
                withheld or delayed; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no review or approval
                shall be required for any such announcement required to be
                announced by law; PROVIDED FURTHER, the Lenders shall provide
                the Borrower with an advance copy of any regulatory filings or
                tombstone ads prepared by or on behalf of the Lenders, but shall
                not be required to obtain approval by the Borrower.

        12.11   Governing Law.

        This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the
State of New York.

        Subject to SECTION 11.08, this Agreement may be amended, and the
Borrower may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act

act; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, without the prior written consent of each of the
Lenders, no such agreement shall (i) decrease the Principal amount of, or extend
the Maturity Date (other than pursuant to SECTION 13.01), or decrease the rate
of interest or premium on the Bridge Notes, (ii) effect any waiver, amendment or
modification that by its terms changes any date fixed by this Agreement or any
other Bridge Loan Document for any payment of Principal, interest or premium or
(iii) amend the provisions of this SECTION 12.14 or the definition of the term
"Required Lenders". Each holder of the Bridge Note, at the time or times
thereafter outstanding, shall be bound by any consent authorized by this
Section, whether or not the Bridge Note shall have been marked to indicate such
consent.

        12.15   Waiver of Jury Trial.

        THE LENDERS, THE BORROWER AND HOLDINGS EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW)
ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER, RELATING TO, OR
CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DELIVER IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH

        12.16   Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.

        All judicial proceedings brought against the Borrower and/or Holdings
with respect to this Agreement, the Bridge Note or any of the other Bridge Loan
Documents may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction
in the State of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
each of the Borrower and Holdings accepts, for itself and in connection with its
properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
aforesaid courts and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment
rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement from which no appeal has been
taken or is available. The Borrower and Holdings irrevocably agree that all
service of process in any such proceedings in any such court may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially
similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at its address set forth in
SCHEDULE 12.08 or at such other address of which the Lenders shall have been
notified pursuant thereto, such service being hereby acknowledged by the
Borrower and Holdings to be effective and binding service in every respect. Each
of the parties hereto irrevocably waives any objection, including, without
limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of
forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any
such action or proceeding in any such jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall affect
the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit
the right of the Lenders to bring proceedings against the Borrower and/or
Holdings in the court of any other jurisdiction.

        12.17   Indemnification.

                (i)     Each of the Borrower and Holdings, without limitation as
        to time, will defend and indemnify the Lenders and its officers,
        directors, managers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an
        "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless
        from, all actual losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including
        reasonable out-of-pocket costs of preparation and attorneys' fees and
        expenses) (collectively, the "LOSSES") incurred by any Indemnified Party
        as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (A) any
        misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by
        the Borrower or Holdings herein, (B) any breach of any covenant,
        agreement or obligation of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries contained
        in any of the Bridge Loan Documents or (C) any investigation or
        proceeding against any Loan Party or any Indemnified Party and arising
        out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Bridge Loan
        Documents, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this
        Agreement are consummated, which investigation or proceeding requires
        the participation of, or is commenced or filed against, any Indemnified
        Party because of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or such
        other documents and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
        other than any Losses resulting from action on the part of such
        Indemnified Party which is finally determined in such proceeding to be
        primarily and directly a result of such party's bad faith, gross
        negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the Borrower and Holdings
        agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party promptly for all such Losses
        as they are incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
        investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or
        threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom. The
        Lenders agrees to reimburse the Borrower and Holdings for any payments
        made by the Borrower or Holdings to the Lenders pursuant to this
        paragraph for Losses which are finally determined in such proceeding to
        primarily and directly result from the bad faith, gross negligence or
        willful misconduct of the Lenders. The obligations of the Borrower and
        Holdings under this paragraph will survive any transfer of the Bridge
        Notes, the Warrant or the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the
        Warrant by the Lenders and the termination of this Agreement. In the
        event that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable or insufficient to
        hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower and Holdings will
        contribute to amounts paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in
        respect of such Indemnified Party's Losses in such proportions as
        appropriately reflect the relative benefits received by and fault of the
        Borrower and Holdings and such Indemnified Party in connection with the
        matters as to which such Losses relate and other equitable
        considerations.

                (ii)    If any action, proceeding or investigation is commenced,
        as to which any Indemnified Party proposes to demand such
        indemnification, it shall notify the Borrower and Holdings with
        reasonable promptness; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any failure by such
        Indemnified Party to notify the Borrower or Holdings shall not relieve
        the Borrower and Holdings from their obligations hereunder except to the
        extent the Borrower or Holdings is prejudiced thereby. The Borrower and
        Holdings shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action,
        proceeding or investigation, including the employment of counsel and the
        payment of all fees and expenses. The Indemnified Party shall have the
        right to employ separate counsel in connection with any such action,
        proceeding or investigation and to participate in the defense thereof,
        but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the
        Indemnified Party, unless (A) the Borrower or Holdings has failed to
        assume the defense and employ counsel as provided herein, (B) the
        Borrower or Holdings has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses
        of separate counsel or (C) an action, proceeding, or investigation has
        been commenced against both the Indemnified Party and/or the Borrower
        and Holdings and representation of all of the Borrower, Holdings and the
        Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate because of
        actual or potential conflicts of interest between the parties. In the
        case of any circumstance described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) of the
        immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower and/or Holdings shall be
        responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate
        counsel; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Borrower and Holdings shall not in

                                       81
<Page>

        any event be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one
        separate counsel (and, if deemed necessary by such separate counsel,
        appropriate local counsel who shall report to such separate counsel) for
        all Indemnified Parties. The Borrower and Holdings shall be liable only
        for settlement of any claim against an Indemnified Party made with the
        Borrower's or Holdings' written consent, as applicable.

        12.18   Regulatory Requirements.

        In the event of any reasonable determination by any Lender that, by
reason of any existing or future federal or state law, statute, rule,
regulation, guideline, order, court or administrative ruling, request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to
comply therewith would be unlawful) (collectively, a "REGULATORY REQUIREMENT"),
such Lender is effectively restricted or prohibited from holding any of the
Bridge Loan Securities, or otherwise realizing upon or receiving the benefits
intended under the Bridge Loan Securities, the Borrower shall, and shall cause
its Subsidiaries, to take such action as such Lenders and the Borrower shall
jointly agree in good faith to be reasonably necessary to permit such Lenders to
comply with such Regulatory Requirement. The reasonable costs of taking such
action shall be borne by the Borrower.

<Page>

                "Unless otherwise required or permitted to be sooner paid
                pursuant to the provisions hereof and of the Bridge Notes, the
                Borrower shall repay the unpaid principal amount of the Bridge
                Notes (the "PRINCIPAL") in full on November 26, 2003 (the
                "MATURITY DATE")."

        reasonable satisfaction of the Lenders (or the Lenders shall have waived
        in writing the conditions they have determined have not been satisfied)
        on or before the Exchange Date.

        (c)     PROCEDURE FOR EXCHANGE DATE. At least one (1) Business Day
before the Exchange Date, each Lender shall surrender the certificate or
certificates representing Bridge Notes held by such Lender in the manner and at
the place designated in the Exchange Notice. The Borrower shall cause the
Rollover Notes to be executed by a Responsible Officer on the Exchange Date and,
upon surrender in accordance with the Exchange Notice of the certificates for
any Bridge Notes so exchanged (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if
the notice shall so state), such Bridge Notes shall be exchanged by the Borrower
for Rollover Notes. A Lender may designate an Affiliate or third party to take
delivery of any Rollover Notes issued in exchange for Bridge Notes surrendered
by such Lender.

        (d)     NO GENERAL SOLICITATION. The Rollover Notes will be offered by
approaching prospective subsequent purchasers on an individual basis. No general
solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502 under the
Securities Act) will be used in the United States in connection with the
offering of the Rollover Notes.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed as of the date first above written.
