                           "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" shall mean the Notes, the
         Warrants and the Restricted Stock, for so long as the instruments or
         certificates evidencing such securities shall be required to bear the
         legend set forth in Section 2 hereof.

                           "RESTRICTED STOCK" shall mean the shares of Common

                           "SECURITIES ACT" shall mean the Securities Act of
         1933, as amended, or any similar Federal statute, and the rules and
         regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in
         effect at the time.

         term in the third Whereas clause.

                  SECTION 2. RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. The Notes and each certificate
representing the Restricted Securities and, except as otherwise provided in
Section 3 hereof, each certificate issued upon exchange or transfer of any such
securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially
in the following form:

                  "THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933 NOR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS IT HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER SUCH
LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE."

                  SECTION 3. NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFER. Prior to any proposed
transfer of any Restricted Securities (other than under the circumstances
described in Section 4 or 5 hereof), the holder thereof shall give written
notice to the Company of its intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice
shall describe the manner of the proposed transfer and, if requested by the
Company, shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company to the effect that the proposed transfer may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act, whereupon such holder shall be entitled
to transfer such securities in accordance with the terms of its notice;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such opinion of counsel shall be required for a
transfer by a holder of Restricted Securities (x) to an Affiliate of such holder
or (y) in the case of a holder that is a partnership, to a partner or employee
of such holder or a retired partner or retired employee of such holder who
retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner, retired
partner, employee or retired employee, or a transfer by gift, will or intestate
succession from any holder of Restricted

                                       3
<Page>

Securities to his or her spouse or members of his or her or his or her spouse's
family or a trust for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons, in any such
case set forth in clauses (x) and (y), only if the transferee agrees in writing
to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if such transferee were
an original holder of Restricted Securities hereunder. All Restricted Securities
transferred as above provided shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2,
except that such securities shall not bear such legend if (i) such transfer is
in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 (or any other rule permitting
public sale without registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) the opinion
of counsel referred to above is to the further effect that the transferee and
any subsequent transferee (other than an affiliate of the Company) would be
entitled to transfer such securities in a public sale without registration under
the Securities Act.

                  SECTION 4. REQUIRED REGISTRATION.

                  (a) At any time following the consummation of an initial
public offering by the Company of its securities, WMF, or if at such time as
some or all of the Restricted Securities held by WMF have then been transferred,
a Threshold Amount of Investors may, by written notice, request on not more than
two occasions that the Company register under the Securities Act all or any
portion of the shares of Restricted Stock held by such requesting holders for
sale in the manner specified in such notice; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company
shall not be obligated to register Restricted Stock pursuant to such request:
(i) unless at the time of such request, all of the Investors shall hold in the
aggregate 5.0% or more of all outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis; (ii) in any particular jurisdiction (other than New York) in
which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a
general consent to service of process in effecting such registration when it was
not then so qualified and had not filed such a consent; (iii) during the period
beginning 30 days prior to the filing, and ending on a date 90 days following
the effective date, of a registration statement filed by the Company relating to
an underwritten offering only of the Company's capital stock; or (iv) if counsel
to the Company opines to the requesting Investors that the filing of such a
registration statement would require the disclosure of material non-public
information about the Company, the disclosure of which could have a material
adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company, in which
event no such registration statement shall be filed until the earlier of the
lapse of 90 days from the issuance of the opinion of Company counsel or the
issuance of a subsequent opinion that such information is no longer required to
be disclosed, is not material or non-public, or its disclosure would not have a
material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company may not exercise its right under this clause
(iv) more than once in any 12-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, no request may be made under this Section 4 within
360 days after the effective date of a registration statement filed by the
Company covering a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the
holders of Restricted Stock shall have been entitled to join pursuant to this
Section 4 or Section 5 hereof and in which there shall have been effectively
registered all shares of Restricted Stock as to which registration shall have
been so requested (and which requests shall total at least twenty-five percent
of the shares of Restricted Stock originally purchased by the Investors).

                  (b) Promptly following receipt of any notice under this
Section 4, the Company shall immediately notify any other Investors from whom
notice has not been received and shall file

                                       4
<Page>

and use its best efforts to have declared effective a registration statement
under the Securities Act for the public sale, in accordance with the method of
disposition specified in such notice from requesting holders, of the number of
shares of Restricted Stock specified in such notice (and in any notices received
from other holders of Restricted Stock within 20 days after the date of such
notice from the Company). If such method of disposition shall be an underwritten
public offering, the Company may designate the managing underwriter of such
offering, subject to the approval of a majority in interest of the selling
holders of Restricted Stock, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The number of shares of Restricted Stock to be included in such an underwriting
may be reduced (PRO RATA among the requesting holders) if and to the extent that
the managing underwriter shall be of the opinion that such inclusion would
adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold therein. With
respect to the preceding sentence, if the Company elects to reduce PRO RATA the
amount of Restricted Stock proposed to be offered in the underwriting, for
purposes of making any such reduction, each holder of Restricted Stock which is
a partnership, together with the affiliates, partners, employees, retired
partners and retired employees of such holder, the estates and family members of
any such partners, employees, retired partners and retired employees and of
their spouses, and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons
shall be deemed to be a single "person", and any PRO RATA reduction with respect
to such "person" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares of
Restricted Stock owned by all entities and individuals included as such
"person", as defined in this sentence (and the aggregate amount so allocated to
such "person" shall be allocated among the entities and individuals included in
such "person" in such manner as such holder of Restricted Stock may reasonably
determine). The Company shall be obligated to register Restricted Stock pursuant
to requests made by a Threshold Amount of the Investors under this Section 4 on
two occasions only; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that as to such occasion such obligation
shall be deemed satisfied only when a registration statement covering all shares
of Restricted Stock specified in notices received as aforesaid, for sale in
accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting holders,
shall have become effective and, if such method of disposition is a firm
commitment underwritten public offering, all such shares shall have been sold
pursuant thereto.

                  (c) The Company shall be entitled to include in any
registration statement referred to in this Section 4 for which the method of
distribution is an underwritten public offering, for sale in accordance with the
method of disposition specified by the requesting holders, shares of Common
Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account, except as and to the extent
that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter (if such method of disposition
shall be an underwritten public offering), such inclusion would adversely affect
the marketing of the Restricted Stock to be sold. Except with respect to
registration statements on Form S-3 or Form S-8, or as otherwise provided in
this paragraph 4(c), the Company will not file with the Commission any other
registration statement with respect to its Common Stock, whether for its own
account or that of other stockholders, from the date of receipt of a notice from
requesting holders pursuant to this Section 4 until the completion of the period
of distribution of the registration contemplated thereby.

                  SECTION 5. INCIDENTAL REGISTRATION; FORM S-3 REGISTRATION.

                  (a) If the Company at any time (other than pursuant to Section
4 hereof) proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act
for sale to the public, whether for its own

                                       5
<Page>

account or for the account of other security holders or both (except with
respect to registration statements on Form S-4 or S-8 or another form not
available for registering Restricted Stock for sale to the public), each such
time it will give written notice to all holders of Restricted Stock of its
intention so to do. Upon the written request of any such holder, given within 20
days after the date of receipt of any such notice, to register any of its
Restricted Stock (which request shall state the intended method of disposition
thereof), the Company will use its best efforts to cause the Restricted Stock as
to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the
securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by
the Company, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition
by the holder (in accordance with its written request) of such Restricted Stock
so registered. The Company may withdraw any such registration statement before
it becomes effective or postpone the offering of securities contemplated by such
registration statement without any obligation to the holders of any Restricted
Stock. In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 5 shall be,
in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, any
request by a holder pursuant to this Section 5 to register Restricted Stock
shall specify that either (i) such Restricted Stock is to be included in the
underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the shares of Common Stock
otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration or (ii) such
Restricted Stock is to be sold in the open market without any underwriting, on
terms and conditions comparable to those normally applicable to offerings of
common stock in reasonably similar circumstances. The number of shares of
Restricted Stock to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced (PRO RATA
among the requesting holders) if and to the extent that the managing underwriter
shall be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing
of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if
any shares are to be included in such underwriting for the account of any person
other than the Company, the number of shares to be included by any such person
shall be reduced first; and PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the number of any
such shares held by any person other than the holders of Restricted Stock
hereunder shall be reduced before the number of any such shares held by the
holders of Restricted Stock hereunder is reduced. With respect to the first
proviso of the preceding sentence, if the Company elects to reduce PRO RATA the
amount of Restricted Stock proposed to be offered in the underwriting for the
accounts of all persons other than the Company, for purposes of making any such
reduction, each holder of Restricted Stock which is a partnership, together with
the affiliates, partners, employees, retired partners and retired employees of
such holder, the estates and family members of any such partners, employees,
retired partners and retired employees and of their spouses, and any trusts for
the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single
"person," and any PRO RATA reduction with respect to such "person" shall be
based upon the aggregate amount of shares of Restricted Stock owned by all
entities and individuals included as such "person", as defined in this sentence
(and the aggregate amount so allocated to such "person" shall be allocated among
the entities and individuals included in such "person" in such manner as such
holder of Restricted Stock may reasonably determine). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 5, in the event that there is an
underwritten offering of securities of the Company pursuant to a registration
covering Restricted Stock and a selling holder of Restricted Stock does not
elect to sell his, her or its Restricted Stock to the underwriters of the
Company's securities in connection with such offering, such holder shall refrain
from selling such Restricted Stock not registered pursuant to this Section 5
during the period of distribution of the Company's securities by such
underwriters and the period in which the underwriting syndicate participates in
the after market; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such holder shall, in any event, be
entitled

                                       6
<Page>

to sell its Restricted Stock in connection with such registration commencing on
the 120th day after the effective date of such registration statement.

                  (b) If, at a time when Form S-3 is available for such
registration, the Company shall receive from any Investor a written request or
requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 of any of such
holder's Restricted Stock, the Company will promptly give written notice of the
proposed registration to all other holders of Restricted Stock and, as soon as
practicable, effect such registration and all such related qualifications and
compliances as may be requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of all Restricted Stock as are specified in such request and any
written requests of other holders given within 20 days after receipt of such
notice. The Company shall not be required to file a registration statement under
Form S-3 if it would not be required to file a registration statement under
Section 4 hereof pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv). The Company shall have no
obligation to effect a registration under this Section 5(b) unless either (i)
all the outstanding shares of Restricted Stock are requested to be sold pursuant
to such registration or (ii) the aggregate offering price of the securities
requested to be sold pursuant to such registration is, in the good faith
judgment of the Company, expected to be equal to or greater than $1,000,000. Any
registration under this Section 5(b) will not be counted as a registration under
Section 4 above.

                  SECTION 6. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. If and whenever the
Company is required by the provisions of Section 4 or 5 hereof to use its best
efforts to effect the registration of any shares of Restricted Stock under the
Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

                  (a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement (which, in the case of an underwritten public offering pursuant to
Section 4 hereof, shall be on Form S-1 or other form of general applicability
satisfactory to the managing underwriter selected as therein provided) with
respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution
contemplated thereby (determined as hereinafter provided);

                  (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for
the period specified in paragraph 6(a) above and as to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement in accordance with the
sellers' intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement
for such period;

                  (c) furnish to each seller and to each underwriter such number
of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein
(including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Restricted
Stock covered by such registration statement;

                  (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Restricted
Stock covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky
laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers of Restricted Stock or, in the case of
an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall reasonably
request;

                                       7
<Page>

                  (e) immediately notify each seller under such registration
statement and each underwriter, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any
event as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein not misleading in
the light of the circumstances then existing;

                  (f) use its best efforts to furnish, at the request of any
seller, on the date that Restricted Stock is delivered to the underwriters for
sale pursuant to such registration: (i) an opinion dated such date of counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the
underwriters and to such seller, stating (A) that such registration statement
has become effective under the Securities Act, (B) that, to the best knowledge
of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been
issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending
or contemplated under the Securities Act and (C) that the registration statement
and the related prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereof, comply as
to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and
the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (except that
such counsel need not express any opinion as to financial statements contained
therein), and to such other effects as may reasonably be requested by counsel
for the underwriters or by such seller or its counsel, and (ii) a letter dated
such date from the independent public accountants retained by the Company,
addressed to the underwriters and to such seller, stating that they are
independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and
that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial statements of the
Company included in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with
the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act, and such letter
shall additionally cover such other financial matters (including information as
to the period ending no more than five business days prior to the date of such
letter) with respect to the registration in respect of which such letter is
being given as such underwriters or such seller may reasonably request; and

                  (g) make available for inspection by each seller, any
underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration
statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such seller
or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents
and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller,
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement.

                  For purposes of paragraphs 6 (a) and (b) above and of Section
4(c) hereof, the period of distribution of Restricted Stock in a firm commitment
underwritten public offering shall be deemed to extend until each underwriter
has completed the distribution of all securities purchased by it, and the period
of distribution of Restricted Stock in any other registration shall be deemed to
extend until the earlier of the sale of all Restricted Stock covered thereby or
nine months after the effective date thereof.

                                       8
<Page>

                  In connection with each registration hereunder, the selling
holders of Restricted Stock will furnish to the Company in writing such
information with respect to themselves and the proposed distribution by them as
shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with Federal and applicable
state securities laws.

                  In connection with each registration pursuant to Sections 4
and 5 hereof covering an underwritten public offering, the Company agrees to
enter into a written agreement with the managing underwriter selected in the
manner herein provided in such form and containing such provisions as are
customary in the securities business for such an arrangement between major
underwriters and companies of the Company's size and investment stature,
provided that such agreement shall not contain any such provision applicable to
the Company which is inconsistent with the provisions hereof and provided,
further, that the time and place of the closing under said agreement shall be as
mutually agreed upon between the Company and such managing underwriter.

                  SECTION 7. EXPENSES. All expenses incurred by the Company in
complying with Sections 4 and 5 hereof, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of
counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents
and registrars and costs of insurance and fees and expenses of one counsel for
the sellers of Restricted Stock, but excluding any Selling Expenses, are herein
called "Registration Expenses." All underwriting discounts and selling
commissions applicable to the sale of Restricted Stock are herein called
"Selling Expenses." The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection
with each registration statement filed pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5
hereof. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any sale of Restricted
Stock by any participating seller shall be borne by such participating seller,
or by such persons other than the Company (except to the extent the Company
shall be a seller) as they may agree; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if the Company
withdraws any registration statement before it becomes effective with respect to
which holders of Restricted Stock shall have exercised incidental registration
rights as contemplated by Section 5(a), the Company shall reimburse any such
holder for all Selling Expenses incurred in connection with such registration.

                  SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event of a registration of
any of the Restricted Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4 or 5
hereof, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each seller of such
Restricted Stock thereunder and each underwriter of such Restricted Stock
thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such seller or
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any and all
losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which
such seller or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
any registration statement under which such Restricted Stock was registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4 or 5, any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each such seller, each
such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim,

                                       9
<Page>

damage, liability, expense or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company will
not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
with information furnished by such seller, such underwriter or such controlling
person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or
prospectus.

                  In the event of a registration of any of the Restricted Stock
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4 or 5 hereof, each seller of such
Restricted Stock thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the
registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each
person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act,
against all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several,
to which the Company or such officer or director or underwriter or controlling
person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such
Restricted Stock was registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4
or 5, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any
amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will
reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, and PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such seller will be liable
hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon
and in conformity with information pertaining to such seller, as such, furnished
in writing to the Company by such seller specifically for use in such
registration statement or prospectus; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the
liability of each seller hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion
that the public offering price of the shares sold by such seller under such
registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all
securities sold thereunder, but not to exceed the proceeds received by such
seller from the sale of Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the
indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any indemnified party under this Section 8. In case any such action shall be
brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party
of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party,
and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party
shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with
counsel so selected; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that,

                                       10
<Page>

if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from
or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests
of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests
of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select
a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to
participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such
separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be
reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel in any such action, but the fees and
disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party
unless (i) the indemnifying party shall have failed to retain counsel for the
indemnified person as aforesaid or (ii) the indemnifying party and such
indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel.
It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any
action or related actions in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and
disbursements of more than one separate firm qualified in such jurisdiction to
act as counsel for the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party
from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
If the indemnification provided for in the first two paragraphs of this Section
8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
such paragraphs in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or
actions in respect thereof referred to therein, then each indemnifying party
shall in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or actions in such proportion as appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the sellers of such
Restricted Stock, on the other, in connection with the statement or omissions
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations including the failure to give any
notice under the third paragraph of this Section 8. The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand,
or by the sellers of such Restricted Stock, on the other, and to the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.

                  The Company and the sellers of Restricted Stock agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were
determined by PRO RATA allocation (even if all of the sellers of Restricted
Stock were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
action in respect thereof, referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this and the immediately preceding paragraph,
the sellers of such Restricted Stock shall not be required to contribute any

                                       11
<Page>

amount in excess of the amount, if any, by which the total price at which the
Common Stock sold by each of them was offered to the public exceeds the amount
of any damages which they would have otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement of omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The indemnification of underwriters
provided for in this Section 8 shall be on such other terms and conditions as
are at the time customary and reasonably required by such underwriters. In that
event the indemnification of the sellers of Restricted Stock in such
underwriting shall at the sellers' request be modified to conform to such terms
and conditions.

                  SECTION 9. CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK. If, and as often as, there
are any changes in the Common Stock by way of stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation,
reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof, as may be required, so that
the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the
Common Stock as so changed.

                  SECTION 10. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The
Company represents and warrants to the other parties hereto as follows (which
representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement):

                  (a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by the Company have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and
will not violate any provision of law, any order of any court or other agency of
government, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, or any
provision of any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which it or any of
its properties or assets is bound, or conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such
indenture, agreement or other instrument, result in the creation or imposition
of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the
properties or assets of the Company.

                  (b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

                  SECTION 11. RULE 144 REPORTING. The Company agrees as follows:

                  (a) The Company shall make and keep public information
available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, at all times from and after 90 days following the effective date
of the first registration of the Company under the Securities Act of an offering
of its securities to the general public.

                  (b) The Company shall file with the Commission in a timely
manner all reports and other documents as the Commission may prescribe under
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act at any time after the Company has
become subject to such reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

                                       12
<Page>

                  (c) The Company shall furnish to such holder of Restricted
Stock forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its
compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time from and
after 90 days following the effective date of the first registration statement
of the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), and of
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject
to such reporting requirements), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents so
filed as a holder may reasonably request to avail itself of any rule or
regulation of the Commission allowing a holder of Restricted Stock to sell any
such securities without registration.

                  SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) The rights arising under Sections 4 and 5 shall terminate
when (i) all of the Investors are no longer "affiliates" as used in Rule 144 and
(ii) the Investors are permitted to sell all Restricted Stock then held by them
pursuant to Rule 144(k).

                  (b) All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement
by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit
of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so
expressed or not. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
registration rights conferred herein on the holders of Restricted Stock shall
inure to the benefit of any and all subsequent holders from time to time of the
Restricted Stock for so long as the certificates representing the Restricted
Stock shall be required to bear the legend specified in Section 2 hereof.

                  (c) All notices, requests and other communications to be given
or otherwise made to any Stockholder or other party hereto shall be deemed to be
sufficient if contained in a written instrument duly transmitted by telecopy or
telex or duly sent by overnight courier service or first class registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such party at the address set
forth below or at such other address as may hereafter be designated in writing

                          Void after September 29, 2010

         INTEGRATED DEFENSE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the "COMPANY" ), a Delaware
corporation, hereby certifies that for value received,
[_________________________________ _______________________], or its successors
or assigns (the "HOLDER"), is entitled to purchase, subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time or beginning on the date hereof
and prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on September 29, 2010 (the
"EXPIRATION DATE"), an aggregate of [_____] fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) of the Company, at an exercise price of
$.01 per share (the "PURCHASE PRICE"), subject to adjustment as provided herein,

         This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
(the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, J.H.
Whitney Mezzanine Fund, L.P., J.H. Whitney Market Value Fund, L.P., Greenleaf
Capital, L.P., First Union Investors, Inc. and BNY Capital Partners, L.P., and
is subject to the terms thereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase
Agreement. The Holder is entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations
contained in the Purchase Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement relating to
this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant.

<Page>

         1. DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of this Warrant, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:

                  "APPLICABLE PRICE" shall mean the higher of (a) the Current
Market Price per share of Common Stock on the applicable record or other
relevant date and (b) the Dilution Price.

                  "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean any day other than a Saturday,
Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the City of New York are
authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

                  "CLOSING PRICE" shall mean, with respect to each share of
Common Stock for any day, (a) the last reported sale price regular way or, in
case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and
asked prices regular way, in either case as reported on the principal national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading
or (b) if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted for trading on any national
securities exchange, the last reported sale price or, in case no such sale takes
place on such day, the average of the highest reported bid and the lowest
reported asked quotation for the Common Stock, in either case as reported on the
NASDAQ or a similar service if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such information.

                  "COMMON STOCK" means the common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, of the Company, and any class of stock resulting from successive changes
or reclassification of such Common Stock.

                  "COMPANY" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the
first paragraph of this Warrant.

                  "CURRENT MARKET PRICE" shall mean the average of the daily
Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days
commencing 15 trading days before the date on which Current Market Price is to
be determined. If on any such date the shares of Common Stock are not listed or
admitted for trading on any national securities exchange or quoted by NASDAQ or
a similar service, then the Company, on the one hand, and the holder of this
Warrant on the other hand, shall each promptly appoint as an appraiser an
individual who shall be a member of a nationally recognized investment banking
firm. Each appraiser shall be instructed to, within 30 days of appointment,
determine the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock which shall be
deemed to be equal to the fair market value per share of Common Stock as of such
date. If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the Current Market Price per
share of Common Stock within such 30 day period, then the two appraisers, within
10 days after the end of such 30 day period shall jointly select a third
appraiser. The third appraiser shall, within 30 days of its appointment,
determine, in good faith, the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock and
such determination shall be controlling. If any party fails to appoint an
appraiser or if one of the two initial appraisers fails after appointment to
submit its appraisal within the required period, the appraisal submitted by the
remaining appraiser shall be controlling. Current Market Price per share of
Common Stock shall be determined without regard to any minority discount
accorded to the shares of Common Stock. The cost of the foregoing appraisals
shall be shared one-half by the

                                       2
<Page>

Company and one-half by holder of this Warrant, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the event
a third appraiser is utilized and one of the two initial appraisals (but not the
other initial appraisal) is greater than or less than the appraisal by such
third appraiser by 10% or more, then the cost of all of the foregoing appraisals
shall be borne by the party who appointed the appraiser who made such initial
appraisal.

                  "DILUTION PRICE" shall mean, with respect to each share of
Common Stock, $1,080 subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock dividend,
subdivision, combination, reclassification or like event with respect to the
Common Stock.

                  "EXERCISE DATE" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term
in Subsection 2(c).

                  "EXERCISE PRICE" shall mean the aggregate Purchase Price
divided by the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable under this Warrant at
such time.

                  "EXPIRATION DATE" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term
in the first paragraph of this Warrant.

                  "FULLY DILUTED COMMON STOCK" shall mean the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding as of the relevant time assuming the exercise,
exchange or conversion in full of all rights, warrants (other than this Warrant
and all other warrants issued upon assignment of all or any portion hereof),
options and other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into
shares of Common Stock (whether or not then exercisable, convertible or
exchangeable).

                  "HOLDER" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the
first paragraph and Section 9(a) of this Warrant.

                  "NASDAQ" shall mean the Automatic Quotation System of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

                  "PERMITTED TRANSFEREE" shall mean the Affiliates of the
Holder.

                  "PERSON" shall mean any individual, firm, corporation,
partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture,
joint stock company, government (or an agency or political subdivision thereof)
or other entity of any kind, and shall include any successor (by merger or
otherwise) of such entity.

                  "PURCHASE AGREEMENT" shall have the meaning ascribed to such
term in the second paragraph of this Warrant.

                  "PURCHASE PRICE" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term
in the first paragraph of this Warrant.

                  "STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT" shall mean the Amended and Restated
Stockholders Agreement in the form attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit
D.

                                       3
<Page>

                  "SUBSIDIARY" shall mean, with respect to any Person, a
corporation or other entity of which 50% or more of the voting power of the
voting equity securities or equity interests is owned, directly or indirectly,
by such Person.

                  "WARRANT" shall mean this Warrant and any subsequent Warrant
issued pursuant to Subsection 9(c).

                  "WARRANT REGISTER" shall have the meaning ascribed to such
term in Subsection 9(c).

                  "WARRANT SHARES" shall mean the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

         2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

                  (a) EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole only, at
any time and from time to time during the period beginning on the date hereof
and ending on the Expiration Date, by surrendering to the Company at its
principal office this Warrant, with the form of Election to Purchase Shares (the
"ELECTION TO PURCHASE SHARES") attached hereto as EXHIBIT A duly executed by the
Holder and accompanied by payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the total
number of Warrant Shares.

                  (b) DELIVERY OF SHARES; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE. As soon as
practicable after surrender of this Warrant and receipt of payment, the Company
shall promptly issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for
the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is hereby being exercised,
in such name or names as may be designated by such Holder, along with a check
for the amount of cash to be paid in lieu of issuance of fractional shares, if
any. Payment of the aggregate Purchase Price may be made as follows (or by any
combination of the following): (i) in United States currency by cash or delivery
of a certified check, bank draft or postal or express money order payable to the
order of the Company, (ii) by assigning to the Company all or any part of the
unpaid principal amount of the Note held by the Holder in a principal amount
equal to the aggregate Purchase Price, or (iii) by surrender of a number of
shares of Common Stock held by the Holder equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (A) the aggregate Purchase Price payable with respect to the exercise
of this Warrant (B) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the
Exercise Date.

                  (c) WHEN EXERCISE EFFECTIVE. The exercise of this Warrant
shall be deemed to have been effective immediately prior to the close of
business on the Business Day on which this Warrant is exercised in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 2 (the "EXERCISE DATE") and the Person in
whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon
such exercise, as provided in Subsection 2(b), shall be deemed to be the record
holder of such shares of Common Stock for all purposes on the Exercise Date.

         3. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.  The Purchase
Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time upon the occurrence of the following
events:

                                       4
<Page>

                  (a) DIVIDEND, SUBDIVISION, COMBINATION OR RECLASSIFICATION OF
COMMON STOCK. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, (i)
declare a dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock
(including Common Stock), (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock into a
larger number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of its Common Stock, or (iv) issue any
shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock (including
any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which
the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each such case, the Purchase
Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the
effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the
number and kind of shares of capital stock issuable on such date shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the Holder of any Warrant exercised after such
date shall be entitled to receive, upon payment of the same aggregate amount as
would have been payable before such date, the aggregate number and kind of
shares of capital stock which, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately
prior to such date, such Holder would have owned upon such exercise and been
entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or
reclassification. Any such adjustment shall become effective immediately after
the record date of such dividend or the effective date of such subdivision,
combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any event listed above shall occur. If a dividend is declared and such
dividend is not paid, the Purchase Price shall again be adjusted to be the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date (giving effect to
all adjustments that otherwise would be required to be made pursuant to this
Section 3 from and after such record date).

                  (b) ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK BELOW CURRENT
MARKET PRICE OR DILUTION PRICE. If the Company shall, at any time or from time
to time, fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to
all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common
Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock at a price per share of
Common Stock or having a conversion price per share of Common Stock if a
security is convertible into Common Stock (determined in either such case by
dividing (x) the total consideration payable to the Company upon exercise,
conversion or exchange of such rights, options, warrants or other securities
convertible into Common Stock by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock
covered by such rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible into
Common Stock) which is lower than either the Current Market Price per share of
Common Stock on such record date (or, if an ex-dividend date has been
established for such record date, on the day next preceding such ex-dividend
date) or the Dilution Price, then, the Purchase Price shall be reduced to the
price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the
number of additional shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price
of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate
initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would
purchase at the Applicable Price and the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number
of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase
(or into which the convertible securities so to be offered are initially
convertible). In case such price for subscription or purchase may be paid in a
consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value
of such consideration shall be determined

                                       5
<Page>

in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. Any such adjustment
shall become effective immediately after the record date for such rights or
warrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date
is fixed. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase
Price shall be adjusted to the Purchase Price that otherwise would be in effect
but for the fact such record date was fixed (giving effect to all adjustments
that otherwise would be required to be made pursuant to this Section 3 from and
after such record date).

                  (c) CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company shall, at any time
or from time to time, fix a record date for the distribution to all holders of
Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of
evidences of indebtedness, assets or other property (other than regularly
scheduled cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated
earnings or earned surplus or dividends payable in capital stock for which
adjustment is made under Subsection 3(a)) or subscription rights, options or
warrants (excluding those referred to in Subsection 3(b)), then the Purchase
Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price
in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction (which shall in no
event be less than zero), the numerator of which shall be the Current Market
Price per share of Common Stock on such record date (or, if an ex-dividend date
has been established for such record date, on the next day preceding such
ex-dividend date), less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the assets, evidences
of indebtedness, other property, subscription rights or warrants so to be
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which
shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Any such
adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for such
distribution. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record
date is fixed. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Purchase
Price shall be adjusted to the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
such record date (giving effect to all adjustments that otherwise would be
required to be made pursuant to this Section 3 from and after such record date).

                  (d) ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK BELOW CURRENT MARKET PRICE OR
DILUTION PRICE.

                           (i) If the Company shall, at any time and from time
to time, after the date hereof, directly or indirectly, sell or issue shares of
Common Stock (regardless of whether originally issued or from the Company's
treasury), or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable
securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock) at a price per share of Common Stock (determined, in the case of rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, by dividing (x) the
total consideration received or receivable by the Company in consideration of
the sale or issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities, plus the total consideration payable to the Company
upon exercise or conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total number of
shares of Common Stock covered by such rights, options, warrants or convertible
or exchangeable securities) which is lower than either the Current Market Price
per share of Common Stock or the Dilution Price immediately prior to such sale
or issuance, then, subject to clause 3(d)(ii), the Purchase Price shall be
reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum
of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
sale or issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received (determined as provided below) for such sale or issuance
would

                                       6

purchase at the Applicable Price and the denominator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such sale or
issuance. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such sale or
issuance is made. For the purposes of such adjustments, the shares of Common
Stock which the holder of any such rights, options, warrants, or convertible or
exchangeable securities shall be entitled to subscribe for or purchase shall be
deemed to be issued and outstanding as of the date of such sale or issuance and
the consideration "received" by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be the
consideration actually received or receivable by the Company (plus any
underwriting discounts or commissions in connection therewith) for such rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the
consideration stated in such rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities to be payable to the Company for the shares of Common
Stock covered thereby. If the Company shall sell or issue shares of Common Stock
for a consideration consisting, in whole or in part, of property other than cash
or its equivalent, then in determining the "price per share of Common Stock" and
the "consideration" received or receivable by or payable to the Company for
purposes of the first sentence and the immediately preceding sentence of this
Subsection 3(d), the fair value of such property shall be determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. The determination of whether any
adjustment is required under this Subsection 3(d) by reason of the sale and
issuance of rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
and the amount of such adjustment, if any, shall be made only at the time of
such issuance or sale and not at the subsequent time of issuance of shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of such rights to subscribe or purchase.

                           (ii) No adjustment shall be made to the Purchase
Price pursuant to clause 3(d)(i) in connection with the issuance of (A) shares
issued in any of the transactions described in Subsections 3(a), (b) and (c)
hereof; or (B) shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant.

                           (iii) Notwithstanding any provision in Section 3 to
the contrary and without limitation to any other provision contained in Section
3, in the event any securities of the Company (other than this Warrant),
including, without limitation, those securities set forth as exceptions in
Subsection 3(d)(ii) (for purposes of this Subsection, collectively, the "SUBJECT
SECURITIES"), are amended or otherwise modified by operation of its terms or
otherwise (including, without limitation, by operation of such Subject
Securities' anti-dilution provisions) in any manner whatsoever that results in
(i) the reduction of the exercise, conversion or exchange price of such Subject
Securities payable upon the exercise for, or conversion or exchange into, Common
Stock or other securities exercisable for, or convertible or exchangeable into,
Common Stock and/or (ii) such Subject Securities becoming exercisable for, or
convertible or exchangeable into (A) more shares or dollar amount of such
Subject Securities which are, in turn exercisable for, or convertible or
exchangeable into, Common Stock, or (B) more shares of Common Stock, THEN such
amendment or modification shall be treated for purposes of Section 3 as if the
Subject Securities which have been amended or modified have been terminated and
new securities have been issued with the amended or modified terms. The Company
shall make all necessary adjustments (including successive adjustments if
required) to the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 3, but in no event
shall the Purchase Price be greater than it was immediately prior to the
application of this Subsection to the transaction in question. On the expiration
or termination of any such amended or modified Subject Securities for which
adjustment has been made pursuant to the operation of the provisions of this
Subsection under Section 3(b) or 3(d), as the case may be, without such Subject
Securities having been exercised,

                                       7
<Page>

converted or exchanged in full pursuant to their terms, the adjusted Purchase
Price shall be appropriately readjusted in the manner specified in such Section.

                  (e) ADJUSTMENTS TO OTHER SHARES. In the event that at any
time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Subsection 3(a), the Holder
shall become entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, any shares of
capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the number of
such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock
contained in Subsections 3(a), (b), (c) and (d), inclusive, and the provisions
of Sections 2, 5, 6 and 7 with respect to the shares of Common Stock shall apply
on like terms to any such other shares.

                  (f) ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE.
Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the calculations made
in Subsections 3(a), (b), (c) or (d), this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the
right to receive, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of shares of
Common Stock (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth) obtained by dividing (x)
the product of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock covered by this
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase Price by (y) the Purchase
Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price.

                  (g) REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER AND SALE OF
ASSETS. If there occurs any capital reorganization or any reclassification of
the Common Stock of the Company, the consolidation or merger of the Company with
or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation of the Company in
which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of outstanding shares of its Common Stock) or the
sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to
another Person, then the Holder will thereafter be entitled to receive, upon the
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the same kind and
amounts of securities (including shares of stock) or other assets, or both,
which were issuable or distributable to the holders of outstanding Common Stock
of the Company upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance, in respect of that number of shares of Common Stock
then deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant as if this Warrant had been
exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate
adjustments (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company) shall be made to assure that the provisions hereof (including
provisions with respect to changes in, and other adjustments of, the Purchase
Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be
practicable, in relation to any securities or other assets thereafter
deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant.

         4. CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. Whenever the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable, or the securities or other property deliverable, upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions hereof,
the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Holder, in
accordance with Section 13, in the form of a certificate signed by the Chairman
of the Board, President or one of the Vice Presidents of the Company, and by the
Chief Financial

                                       8
<Page>

Officer, Treasurer or one of the Assistant Treasurers of the Company, stating
the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable, or the securities or
other property deliverable, upon exercise of the Warrant and setting forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts requiring such
adjustment and upon which such calculation is based. Each adjustment shall
remain in effect until a subsequent adjustment is required.

         5. FRACTIONAL SHARES. Notwithstanding an adjustment of this Warrant to
the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares
upon exercise of this Warrant or to distribute certificates which evidence
fractional shares. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company may make payment to
the Holder, at the time of exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, of an
amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the greater of the Current
Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date and the Dilution
Price.

         6. NOTICE OF PROPOSED ACTIONS. In case the Company shall propose at any
time or from time to time (a) to declare or pay any dividend payable in stock of
any class to the holders of Common Stock or to make any other distribution to
the holders of Common Stock (other than a regularly scheduled cash dividend),
(b) to offer to the holders of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for
or to purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any
class or any other securities, rights or options, (c) to effect any
reclassification of its Common Stock, (d) to effect any consolidation, merger or
sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property,
assets or business of the Company which would, if consummated, adjust the
Purchase Price or the securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, (e) to
effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or (f) to take
any other action that would require a vote of the Company's stockholders, then,
in each such case, the Company shall give to the Holder, in accordance with
Section 13, a written notice of such proposed action, which shall specify (i)
the record date for the purposes of such stock dividend, distribution of rights
or warrants or vote of the stockholders of the Company, or if a record is not to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of shares of Common Stock of record
to be entitled to such dividend, distribution of rights or warrants, or vote is
to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation, dissolution or
winding up is expected to become effective, and such notice shall be so given as
promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to
the applicable record, determination or effective date specified in such notice.

         7. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms
of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out
of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against
dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock
receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on
such exercise, (b) will at all times reserve and keep available the maximum
number of its authorized shares of Common Stock, free from all preemptive rights
therein, which will be sufficient to permit the full exercise of this Warrant,
and (c) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that all shares of Common Stock as may be issued pursuant to the exercise of
this Warrant will, upon

                                       9
<Page>

issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free
from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

         8. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS. On receipt by the Company of an affidavit
of an authorized representative of the Holder stating the circumstances of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant (and in the case of any
such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant), the Company at
its expense will promptly execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of
like tenor which shall be exercisable for a like number of shares of Common
Stock. If required by the Company, such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or
other indemnity sufficient in the judgment of the Company to protect the Company
from any loss which it may suffer if a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant is
replaced.

         9. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

                  (a) The term "HOLDER" as used herein shall also include any
transferee of this Warrant whose name has been recorded by the Company in the
Warrant Register (as hereinafter defined). Each transferee of this Warrant or
the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof acknowledges that this
Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof has not been
registered under the Securities Act and may be transferred only pursuant to an
effective registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

                  (b) With respect to a transfer that should occur prior to the
time that the Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof is
registered under the Securities Act, such Holder shall request an opinion of
counsel (which shall be rendered by counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Company) that the proposed transfer may be effected without registration or
qualification under any Federal or state securities or blue sky law; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such opinion shall be required in the case of a transfer to a
Permitted Transferee. Counsel shall, as promptly as practicable, notify the
Company and the Holder of such opinion and of the terms and conditions, if any,
to be observed in such transfer, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to
transfer this Warrant or such shares of Common Stock (or portion thereof),
subject to any other provisions and limitations of this Warrant. In the event
this Warrant shall be exercised as an incident to such transfer, such exercise
shall relate back and for all purposes of this Warrant be deemed to have
occurred as of the date of such notice regardless of delays incurred by reason
of the provisions of this Section 9 which may result in the actual exercise on
any later date.

                  (c) The Company shall maintain a register (the "WARRANT
REGISTER") in its principal office for the purpose of registering the Warrant
and any transfer thereof, which register shall reflect and identify, at all
times, the ownership of any interest in the Warrant. Upon the issuance of this
Warrant, the Company shall record the name of the initial purchaser of this
Warrant in the Warrant Register as the first Holder. Upon surrender for
registration of transfer or exchange of this Warrant together with a properly
executed Form of Assignment attached hereto as EXHIBIT B at the principal office
of the Company, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver one or
more new Warrants of like tenor which shall be exercisable in the aggregate for
a like number of shares of Common Stock, registered in the name of the Holder or
a transferee or transferees.

                                       10
<Page>

                  This Warrant may be transferred or assigned, in whole or in
part, by the Holder at any time without the consent of the Company.

         10. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITY AS A STOCKHOLDER. This Warrant does not
entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder
of the Company. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by
the Holder hereof to purchase Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the
rights or privileges of the Holder shall give rise to any liability of such
Holder as a stockholder of the Company.

         11. CHARGES, TAXES AND EXPENSES. Issuance of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to
the Holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax, or other incidental expense, in
respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities
represented thereby, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company.

         12. AMENDMENT OR WAIVER. This Warrant and any term hereof may be
amended, waived, discharged or terminated only by and with the written consent
of the Company and the Holder.

         13. NOTICES. Any notice or other communication (or delivery) required
or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be by registered mail,
return receipt requested, telecopier, courier service or personal delivery to
the Company at its principal office as specified in Section 11.2 of the Purchase
Agreement and to the Holder at its address as it appears in the Warrant
Register. All such notices and communications (and deliveries) shall be deemed
to have been duly given: when delivered by hand, if personally delivered; when
delivered by courier, if delivered by commercial overnight courier service; five
(5) Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed;
and when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied.

         14. CERTAIN REMEDIES. The Holder shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Warrant and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions of this Warrant in any court of the United
States or any state thereof having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any
other remedy to which such Holder may be entitled at law or in equity.

         15. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS. In the event of any
reasonable determination by the Holder 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"), the Holder is effectively restricted
or prohibited from holding this Warrant or the Warrant Shares (including any
shares of capital stock or other securities distributable to the Holder in any
merger, reorganization, readjustment or other reclassification), or otherwise
realizing upon or receiving the benefits intended under this Warrant, the
Company shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have its
shareholders, take such action as the Holder and the Company shall jointly agree
in good faith to be reasonably necessary to permit the Holder to comply with
such Regulatory Requirement. The costs of taking such action, whether by the
Company, the Holder or otherwise, shall be borne by the Holder.

         16. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law of such State.

         17. HEADINGS. The headings in this Warrant are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
