PERCEPTRONICS, INC.

No. WC-1

Date of Issuance—April 5, 2001

Void after May 5, 2001

Perceptronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Global Alpha Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company (including any successors and assigns, "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company (including any corporation which shall succeed to or assume the obligations of the Company hereunder) at any time or from time to time before 5:00 PM Pacific time, on May 5, 2001 (the "Expiration Date") five hundred thousand (500,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company. The purchase price per share of such Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be Twenty Cents ($0.20), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 hereof (the "Purchase Price").

1. Series of Warrants. This Warrant is one of a series of warrants issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") between the Company and the Holder. The term "Stock Warrants," as used herein, shall refer to this Warrant and the other warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

2. Initial Exercise Date; Expiration. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in full or in part, at any time or from time to time before 5:00 PM, Pacific time, on May 5, 2001 (the "Exercise Period").

3. Exercise of Warrant; Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in full or in part by the Holder by surrender of this Warrant, together with the form of subscription attached hereto as Schedule 1, duly executed by the Holder, to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment, in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer, of the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased hereunder. For any partial exercise hereof, the Holder shall designate in a subscription in the form of Schedule 1 attached hereto delivered to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock that it wishes to purchase. On any such partial exercise, the Company, at its expense, shall forthwith issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder, which shall be exercisable for such number of shares of Common Stock represented by this Warrant which have not been purchased upon such exercise.

4. Termination of Warrant. In the event that any Stock Warrant is not exercised in full prior to its expiration, then immediately following the expiration of such Stock Warrant, this Warrant shall be terminated.

5. When Exercise Effective. The exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the business day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3 and, at such time, the person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to be the record holder of such Common Stock for all purposes.

6. Delivery on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable full shares of Common Stock to which the

Holder shall be entitled on such exercise (rounded up to the next nearest whole number in the case of fractional shares).

7. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Shares. The Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 7. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment.

7.1 Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

7.2 Dividends in Common Stock, Other Stock, Property, Reclassification. If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,

(A) Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

(B) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend, or

(C) Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement, (other than (i) shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split, adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 7.1 above or (ii) an event for which adjustment is otherwise made pursuant to Section 7.3 below), then and in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (B) and (C) above) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.

7.3 Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or property, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately

theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby. In any reorganization described above, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Purchase Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument, executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase.

7.4 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price or any increase or decrease in the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the registered Holder of this Warrant. The notice shall be signed by the Company's chief financial officer and shall state the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

7.5 Other Notices. If at any time:

(A) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common Stock;

(B) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock;

(C) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;

(D) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company; or consolidation or merger of the Company; or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation; or

(E) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give (a) at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (b) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall been entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or to other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or conversion, as the case may be.

7.6 Certain Events. If any change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 7 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder of the Warrant in accordance with such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an

adjustment in the number and class of shares available under the Warrant, the Purchase Price or the application of such provisions, so as to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as will give the Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Purchase Price the total number, class and kind of shares as he would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had he continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

8. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

9. No Rights or Liability as a Shareholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder as a shareholder of the Company.

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1 Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant is transferable and assignable, in whole or in part, by Holder provided that any such assignment or transfer is made in compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws. All covenants, agreements and undertakings in this Warrant by or on behalf of any of the parties shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties whether so expressed or not.

10.2 Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, or (c) two (2) business days after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

Box 71, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other party hereto.

10.3 Attorneys' Fees. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

10.4 Amendments and Waivers. This Warrant may be amended or modified only upon the written consent of both Holder and the Company. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

10.5 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Warrant are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Warrant and the balance of the Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

10.6 Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its officers thereunto duly authorized.

SECTION 2. REGISTRATION; RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

2.1 Restrictions on Transfer. Each certificate representing Registrable Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of the Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER.

2.2 Demand Registration.

(a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.2, if the Company shall receive a written request from any Holder (the "Initiating Holder") that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities then outstanding, and if the anticipated aggregate offering price for such securities, prior to underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), then the Company shall, within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof give notice to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 2.2, effect, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holder requests to be registered.

(b) If an Initiating Holder intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, it shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to this Section 2.2 or any request pursuant to Section 2.4 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.4(a), as applicable.

2.3 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Holders in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding Special Registration Statements) and will afford Holders an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held thereby. If Holder desires to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within twenty (20) days after the above- described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(a) Underwriting. If the registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If any Holder proposes to distribute its Registrable Securities through such underwriting it shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company; second, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders; and third, to any shareholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis. No such reduction shall reduce the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the registration below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration. In no event will shares of any other selling shareholder be included in such registration which would reduce the number of shares which may be included by Holders without the written consent of Holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the offering. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder which is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners, retired partners, members and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, retired partners and members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing person shall be deemed to be a single "Holder," and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "Holder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such "Holder," as defined in this sentence and such amounts shall be allocated by the Holder in its discretion.

(b) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.

2.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3

(or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

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

(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's or Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4:

(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders, or

(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), or

(iii) if within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from any Holder or Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Company gives notice to such Holder or Holders of the Company's intention to make a public offering within ninety (90) days, other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement; or

(iv) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.4; provided, that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Sections 2.2 or 2.3, respectively.

2.5 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 2.2 or any registration under Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 herein shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered.

2.6 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for at least one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related thereto.

(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in paragraph (a) above.

(c) Furnish to all Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

(d) Use its reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders.

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

(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement 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 included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. The Company will use reasonable efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(g) Use its reasonable efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering addressed to the underwriters.

2.7 Termination of Registration Rights. A Holder's registration rights shall expire if such Holder (together with its affiliates, partners and former partners) holds less than 1% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock and such Holder is able to sell such Registrable Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or such Holder is able to sell all Registrable Securities held by it pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.

2.8 Delay of Registration; Furnishing Information.

(a) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.

(c) The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 if, due to the operation of subsection 2.3(a), the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company's obligation to initiate such registration as specified in Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, whichever is applicable.

2.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4:

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation") by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) 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, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will pay as incurred to each such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or 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; provided however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, or partner, officer, director or controlling person

of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.9, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the termination of this agreement. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

2.10 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by any Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities. Following any such transfer, the tranferor or transferee shall furnish to the

Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned.

2.11 Amendment of Registration Rights. Any provision of this Section 2 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall be binding upon each Holder and the Company. By acceptance of any benefits under this Section 2, Holders of Registrable Securities hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereunder.

2.12 Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder registration rights pari passu or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder.

2.13 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

(b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

This Right Of First Refusal Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of April 5, 2001 by and among Perceptronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Global Alpha Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company ("Purchaser"), and those certain stockholders of the Company whose names appear on the signature page hereto (each, hereinafter individually referred to as a "Stockholder" and collectively referred to as the "Stockholders").

Recitals

A. WHEREAS, the Company and Purchaser are parties to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to Purchaser and Purchaser agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of 14,616,444 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") on the terms and conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement;

B. WHEREAS, it is a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement that the Stockholders, each of which is a director and/or executive officer of the Company, grant Purchaser a right of first refusal to acquire the Common Stock held by such Stockholders;

C. WHEREAS, each of the Stockholders currently owns that number of shares of the Company's Common Stock indicated on Exhibit A hereto; and

D. WHEREAS, the Company, the Stockholders and Purchaser desire to enter into this Agreement to grant Purchaser the rights set forth herein.

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises made herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

1.1 "Stock" means and includes all shares of Common Stock of the Company that are issued and outstanding at the relevant time plus (a) all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of any options, warrants and other rights of any kind that are then exercisable, and (b) all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of (i) any convertible securities, including, without limitation, preferred stock and debt securities then outstanding which are, by their terms, then convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) any such convertible securities issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants or other rights that are then exercisable.

1.2 "Offered Stock" means all Stock proposed to be Transferred by a Stockholder pursuant hereto.

1.3 "Transfer" and "Transferred" mean and include any sale, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation, pledge, conveyance in trust, gift, transfer by bequest, devise or descent, or other transfer or disposition of any kind, including but not limited to transfers to receivers, levying creditors, trustees or receivers in bankruptcy proceedings or general assignees for the benefit of creditors, whether voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, except for:

(a) any bona fide pledge if the pledgee executes a counterpart copy of this Agreement and becomes bound thereby as if such pledgee were a Stockholder.

(b) any transfer of Stock by any Stockholder made (i) pursuant to a statutory merger or statutory consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or corporations; or (ii) pursuant to the winding up and dissolution of the Company.

(c) any transfer of Stock by any Stockholder made: to any Stockholder's immediate family or to any custodian or trustee for the account of such Stockholder or such Stockholder's immediate family; in each case provided that the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold such Stock subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and there shall be no further transfer of such Stock except in accord with this Agreement.

2. Right Of First Refusal.

2.1 Notice Of Proposed Transfer. Before any Stockholder may effect any Transfer of any Stock, such Stockholder (when acting in such capacity, the "Transferor") must give to the Company and Purchaser, a written notice signed by the Transferor (the "Transferor's Notice") stating (a) the Transferor's bona fide intention to transfer such Stockholder's Offered Stock; and (b) the number of shares of Offered Stock proposed to be transferred.

2.2 Exercise Of Right of First Refusal. Upon receipt of a Transferor's Notice, Purchaser may exercise a right of first refusal (the "Right of First Refusal") to purchase all or any part of the Offered Stock by delivering to the Transferor written notice of the number of shares of Offered Stock which Purchaser intends to purchase which notice must be delivered to the Transferor within the five (5) business day period following Purchaser's receipt of a Transferor's Notice (the "Election Period").

2.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the shares of the Offered Stock to be purchased by Purchaser upon exercise of its Right of First Refusal shall be equal to the product of the number of shares of Offered Stock being purchased by the Purchaser and the per share closing trading price for the Company's Common Stock as of the date the Transferor's Notice is received by Purchaser, and shall be payable as set forth in Section 2.4 hereof.

2.4 Payment. Payment of the purchase price for the shares of the Offered Stock being purchased by Purchaser by exercising its Right of First Refusal will be made on or before the fifth (5th) business day following the later of (a) the day immediately following the last day of the Election Period, or (b) the date of the delivery to Purchaser of share certificates representing the shares of the Offered Stock being purchased by Purchaser, which certificates must be duly executed by Transferor for Transfer to Purchaser or accompanied by stock powers duly executed by Transferor in favor of Purchaser.

2.5 Rights Of Transferor. Upon the date that payment is made for the shares of the Offered Stock being purchased by Purchaser pursuant to the Right of First Refusal hereunder, the Transferor will have no further rights as a holder of such shares of the Offered Stock.

2.6 Transferor's Right To Transfer. If Purchaser has not elected to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to all of the shares of the Offered Stock within the Election Period, then the Transferor may transfer that portion of the shares of the Offered Stock not purchased by Purchaser, provided that such transfer (a) is consummated within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Election Period and (b) is in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Transferees who acquire shares of the Offered Stock transferred in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.6 will thereafter hold such shares of the Offered Stock free of the Rights of First Refusal and all other restrictions imposed by this Agreement; provided that nothing herein will release any such transferee from any obligations or restrictions that may be imposed on such transferee under any other agreement with the Company or by law or by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. If shares of the Offered Stock are not transferred during such ten (10) day period, then the Transferor may not transfer any shares of such Offered Stock without complying again in full with the provisions of this Agreement.

3. Refusal To Transfer. Any attempt by a Stockholder to transfer any Stock in violation of any provision of this Agreement will be void. The Company will not (a) transfer on its books any Stock that

has been sold, gifted or otherwise transferred in violation of this Agreement, or (b) treat as owner of such Stock, or accord the right to vote to or pay dividends to any purchaser, donee or other transferee to whom such Stock may have been so transferred.

4. Restrictive Legend And Stop-Transfer Orders.

4.1 Legend. Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company will cause the legend set forth below, or a legend substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) or other documents or instruments evidencing ownership of Stock by such Purchaser:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL AS SET FORTH IN A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, ENTERED INTO BY PERCEPTRONICS, INC. (THE "COMPANY"), ALPHA GLOBAL CORPORATION AND CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.

4.2 Stop Transfer Instructions. Each Stockholder and Purchaser agrees, to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, that the Company may issue appropriate "stop transfer" certificates or instructions and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its records.

5. Termination and Purchaser's Rights.

5.1 Termination.
