This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of
November 13, 1998, by and among Mr. Hugh Brian Haney ("Holder"), Dr. Bryan J.
Zwan ("Dr. Zwan") and Digital Lightwave, Inc. (the "Company").
WHEREAS Holder and Dr. Zwan have entered into a Settlement
Agreement with respect to certain litigations that Holder has brought against
Dr. Zwan and the Company and others, and a Mutual General Release; and
WHEREAS Dr. Zwan has agreed as part of the Settlement Agreement to
grant Holder the option set forth in this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the convenants and agreements

Release, Holder, Dr. Zwan and the Company agree as follows.

Date (as defined in the second paragraph of this Section 1), subject to the
terms and provisions set forth hereinafter, the right and option to purchase two
million (2,000,000) shares of the common stock of the Company (the "Common

One Dollar ($1.00) per share (the option hereby granted being hereinafter
referred to as the "Option" and the shares of Common Stock purchased upon
exercise of the Option being referred to herein as the "Option Shares"). The
Option shall be a non-qualified option and shall not be an "incentive stock
option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended.
The Option shall not be considered granted or become exercisable
unless and until Holder delivers to Dr. Zwan and the Company a fully executed
counterpart hereof. Thereafter, the Option shall be exercisable in accordance
with Sections 2 and 3 hereof. The date on which Holder delivers a fully
executed counterpart of this Agreement to Dr. Zwan is referred to herein as the
"Grant Date".
2. EXERCISE OF OPTION. Holder may exercise the Option, at any
time and from time to time, on or before October 20, 2008, in whole or in part.
Except as otherwise provided in the notice provisions of Sections 7 and 8 of
this Agreement, in the event that Holder wishes to exercise the Option in whole
or in part, Holder shall send a written notice to Dr. Zwan specifying a date not
less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the
date such notice is mailed for the closing of such purchase; provided, however,
that Dr. Zwan shall not be obligated to close such purchase during any Blackout
Period previously established by the Company or any time during the months of
November and
<PAGE>
3
December in any year.
3. PAYMENT AND DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATE. At any closing
pursuant to this Agreement, Holder shall make payment to Dr. Zwan of the
aggregate price for the Option Shares that he is purchasing by certified or bank
check payable to Dr. Zwan or by wire transfer of immediately-available federal
funds to a bank and account designated by Dr. Zwan, and Dr. Zwan shall deliver

Holder has purchased containing no restrictive legend other than as contemplated
by Section 5(h) of this Agreement.

4
or governmental regulation applicable to Dr. Zwan;

on the certificate representing such shares of Common Stock to which Section
5(h) of this Agreement refers);
(iv) Upon purchase of the Option Shares, such Option Shares
will be fully-paid and non-assessable and Holder will receive good and
marketable title to the Option Shares, free of all adverse claims, liens,

have been created by or through Holder or as set forth on the legend on the
certificate representing the Option Shares as permitted by Section 5(h) of this
Agreement.

<PAGE>
6
(d) Holder understands that (i) the Option and the Option

be, registered under the 1933 Act on the ground that the grant and the sale
provided for in this Agreement are exempt under the 1933 Act and regulations
issued thereunder; (ii) the reliance of Dr. Zwan on such exemption is predicated

(f) Holder is familiar with the business of the Company
and, in formulating a decision to enter into this Agreement, Holder has relied

no reliance was placed upon any representations or warranties other than those
contained herein;

NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM;
(i) Holder is aware that the Option and the Option Shares
have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission
or any state securities agency; and
(j) Holder is an "accredited investor" as such term is
defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act.
6. ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. In the event of
any change in the number or classification of shares of outstanding Common
Stock, the kind and number of securities subject to the Option shall be adjusted
in the same manner as that for all other shareholders and the purchase price per
share shall be adjusted correspondingly. The existence of the Option granted
hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the
stockholders of the Company to
<PAGE>
8
make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization,
reorganization or other change in the Company's capital structure or its
business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or
equity securities having any priority or preference with respect to or affecting
Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of
its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding, without
prejudice to the right of Holder set forth above in this Section 6.
7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) If the Company at any time
proposes to sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an offering of
securities registered under the 1933 Act (other than a registration on (i) Form
S-4 or S-8 under the 1933 Act or (ii) any successor form) and such registered
offering would include Common Stock to be sold by Dr. Zwan, the Company shall
give reasonable written notice thereof (the "Public Offering Notice") to Holder.
If a Public Offering Notice is given, then, no later than ten (10) days after
the receipt of the Public Offering Notice, Holder may exercise the Option (the
closing of which shall take place as soon as practicable) and present a request
(the "Request") to the Company specifying the number of Option Shares intended
to be sold or disposed of by Holder and describing the method of disposition
thereof (if the offering described in the Public Offering Notice is to be
<PAGE>
9
underwritten, the Holder shall be required to make his offering through the same
underwriters and to sign the underwriting agreement). The Company will, at its
expense (excluding commissions and a pro rata share of expenses payable to
underwriters and the fees of any counsel or other advisors engaged by Holder),
use its best efforts to cause the registration under the 1933 Act of the shares
stated in Holder's Request or, if less, the Share for Share Number of Holder's
Option Shares, for disposition in accordance with the intended method of
disposition as stated in Holder's Request (except as provided above), and to
cause such registration to become effective under the 1933 Act and such
disposition to be qualified or exempt from qualification under "blue sky" laws
of such states as Holder may reasonably request. However, the Company (i) may
at any time delay, abandon or withdraw any such registration or registration
statement (in which case it shall not be required to register any of Holder's
shares otherwise required to be included in such registration) and (ii) shall
not be required to register Holder's Option Shares pursuant to this Section 7 in
connection with any proposed registration to the extent that, in the opinion of
the managing underwriter, the inclusion of such Holder's Option Shares would
adversely affect the offering. As used in this Section 7, the term "Share for
Share" shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock being offered by Dr. Zwan
that are to be registered. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if
<PAGE>
10
Holder has Option Shares available for registration and has presented a Request,
Dr. Zwan shall not register more shares of Common Stock than the number of
shares of Common Stock for which Holder has the opportunity to register.
(b) If any registration of Common Stock shall be in
connection with an underwritten public offering, and if Holder is participating
in such offering, Holder agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution,
including any sale pursuant to Rule 144, or any successor provision, under the
1933 Act, of any shares of Common Stock and not to effect any such public sale
or distribution of any other equity security of the Company or of any security
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the
Company (in each case, other than as part of such underwritten public offering)
during the seven days prior to, and during the 180-day period (or such lesser
period agreed to by the Company, Dr. Zwan and Holder with any underwriters for
such registration of Common Stock) which begins on, the effective date of such
registration statement (except as part of such registration).
(c) Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event that causes the Company to supplement,
amend or withdraw the prospectus included in any registration statement relating
to an offering of Common Stock in which Holder is participating, Holder shall
discontinue disposition of Common Stock pursuant
<PAGE>
11
to the registration statement covering such Common Stock until Holder's receipt
of copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company, and, if so
directed by the Company, Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company's
expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in Holder's
possession, of the unsupplemented, unamended or withdrawn prospectus.
8. ACQUISITION OR SALE OF THE COMPANY. In the event that any
person or entity (including without limitation a "group" as contemplated by
Section 13(d) (3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act") but excluding the Company, its affiliates, any employee benefit plan
maintained by the Company, or an underwriter temporarily holding securities
pursuant to an offering of such securities), other than Dr. Zwan, proposes to
obtain beneficial ownership (as determined pursuant to Regulation 13d-3 under
the 1934 Act) of ninety percent (90%) or more (based on voting power) of the
Company's outstanding capital stock (such transaction a "Proposed Sale"), the
Company shall give notice thereof (the "Sale Notice") to Holder describing the
terms of the proposed sale in reasonable detail, including the identity of the
proposed purchasers and the number of shares to be sold. Holder shall then have
the right to exercise the Option and the closing shall take place within ten
(10) days following the receipt of the Sale Notice. If Holder elects not to
exercise the Option, the Option shall
<PAGE>
12
expire and be of no further force or effect upon consummation of the Proposed
Sale identified in the Sale Notice. If Holder exercises the Option in
accordance with the provisions above, Holder shall sell all the Option Shares
held by Holder and such Option Shares shall be purchased, simultaneously with,
and conditioned upon, the closing of the Proposed Sale, at the price (whether in
cash or other consideration) per share of Common Stock and on the other terms of
the Proposed Sale.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) NON-ASSIGNABILITY. The rights and obligations of the Holder
under this Agreement shall not be transferable or assignable, other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution, and the Option shall be exercisable,
during Holder's lifetime, only by him or, during periods of legal disability, by
his legal representative. The Option shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option shall
not be assigned by Holder without the written consent of Zwan, other than to HBH
Assets, Ltd., an Ohio limited liability company controlled by Holder. In the
event that Holder shall cease to own at least seventy-five percent (75%) of HBH
Assets, Ltd., the Option automatically shall revert to Holder. If Holder
assigns the Option, the Option shall remain subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of the
<PAGE>
13
Holder.
(b) AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may not be modified,
amended, altered or supplemented, except upon the execution and delivery of a
written instrument executed by each of Holder, Dr. Zwan and the Company.
(c) NOTICES. All notices, requests, claims, demands and
other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given

Ohio without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of the State of
Ohio.
