                                    delivered by the Company, such Warrant
                                    Certificate nevertheless may be delivered or
                                    disposed of as though the Person who signed
                                    such Warrant Certificate had not ceased to
                                    be such Officer of the Company; and any

                                    execution and delivery of this Agreement any
                                    such Person was not such an Officer.

                                    Exchanges

                                    provided herein. Each person designated by
                                    the Company from time to time as a Person
                                    authorized to register the transfer and
                                    exchange of the Warrants is hereinafter
                                    called, individually and collectively, the
                                    "Warrant Registrar." The Company hereby
                                    initially appoints itself as Warrant
                                    Registrar. Upon written notice to the
                                    Holders and any acting Warrant Registrar,
                                    the Company may appoint a successor Warrant
                                    Registrar for such purposes.

                                    The Company will at all times designate one
                                    Person (who may be the Company and who need
                                    not be a Warrant Registrar) to act as
                                    repository of a master list of names and
                                    addresses of the holders of Warrants (the
                                    "Warrant Register"). The Company will act as
                                    such repository unless and until some other
                                    Person is, by written notice from the
                                    Company to the Holders and the Warrant
                                    Registrar, designated by the Company to act
                                    as such. In the event the Warrant Registrar
                                    is not the repository, the Company shall
                                    cause the Warrant Registrar to furnish to
                                    such repository, on a current basis, such
                                    information as to all registrations of
                                    transfer and exchanges effected by the
                                    Warrant Registrar, as may be necessary to
                                    enable such repository to maintain the
                                    Warrant Register on as current a basis as is
                                    practicable.

                                    When Warrants are presented to the Company
                                    with a request to register the transfer of
                                    the Warrants or exchange Warrants for an
                                    equal number of Warrants of other authorized
                                    denominations, the Company shall register
                                    the transfer or make the exchange as
                                    requested if the requirements under this
                                    Warrant Agreement as set forth herein for
                                    such transactions are met; provided,

                                    surrendered for registration of transfer or
                                    exchange shall be duly endorsed or
                                    accompanied by a written instruction of
                                    transfer in form satisfactory to the
                                    Company, duly executed by the holder thereof

                                    and entitled to the same benefits under this
                                    Agreement, as the Warrants surrendered upon
                                    such registration of transfer or exchange.

                               4.   Form of Warrant Certificates

                                    . The Warrant Certificates to be delivered

                               6.   Offices for Exercise, etc

                                    . So long as any of the Warrants remain
                                    outstanding, the Company will designate: (a)
                                    an office or agency where the Warrant
                                    Certificates may be presented for exercise,
                                    (b) an office or agency where the Warrant
                                    Certificates may be presented for

                                    may be served. The Company may from time to
                                    time change such designation, as it may deem
                                    desirable or expedient. The Company will
                                    give to the Holders and the Warrant
                                    Registrar written notice of the location of
                                    any such office or agency and of any change
                                    of location thereof. The Company hereby
                                    designates its office at the address set
                                    forth in Section 6.1, as the initial agency

                               7.   Cancellation

                                    . All Warrant Certificates surrendered for
                                    the purpose of exercise (in whole or in
                                    part), exchange, substitution or transfer
                                    shall, if surrendered to the Company or to
                                    any of its agents, be delivered to the
                                    Company for cancellation or in cancelled
                                    form, or if surrendered to the Company shall
                                    be cancelled by it, and no Warrant
                                    Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof
                                    except as expressly permitted by any of the
                                    provisions of this Agreement. If the Company
                                    purchases or acquires Warrants and if the
                                    Company so chooses, the Company may cancel
                                    and retire the Warrant Certificates
                                    evidencing said Warrants.

                                    Mutilated Warrant Certificates

                                    . Upon receipt by the Company (or any agent
                                    of the Company if requested by the Company)
                                    of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss,
                                    theft, destruction, defacement or mutilation
                                    of any Warrant Certificate and of indemnity
                                    satisfactory to it (which may include
                                    posting a bond) and, in the case of
                                    mutilation or defacement, upon surrender
                                    thereof to the Company for cancellation,
                                    then, in the absence of notice to the
                                    Company that such Warrant Certificate has
                                    been acquired by a bona fide purchaser or
                                    holder in due course, the Company shall
                                    execute in exchange for or in lieu of the
                                    lost, stolen, destroyed, defaced or
                                    mutilated Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant
                                    Certificate representing a like number of
                                    Warrants, bearing a number or other

                                    Upon the issuance of any new Warrant
                                    Certificate under this Section, the Company
                                    may require the payment from the holder of
                                    such Warrant Certificate of a sum sufficient
                                    to cover any tax, stamp tax or other
                                    governmental charge that may be imposed in
                                    relation thereto and any other expenses
                                    (including the fees and expenses of the
                                    Warrant Registrar) in connection therewith.
                                    Every substitute Warrant Certificate
                                    executed and delivered pursuant to this
                                    Section in lieu of any lost, stolen or
                                    destroyed Warrant Certificate shall
                                    constitute an additional contractual
                                    obligation of the Company, whether or not
                                    the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
                                    Certificate shall be at any time enforceable
                                    by anyone, and shall be entitled to the
                                    benefits of (but shall be subject to all the
                                    limitations of rights set forth in) this
                                    Agreement equally and proportionately with
                                    any and all other Warrant Certificates duly
                                    executed and delivered hereunder. The
                                    provisions of this Section 2.8 are exclusive
                                    with respect to the replacement of lost,
                                    stolen, destroyed, defaced or mutilated
                                    Warrant Certificates and shall preclude (to
                                    the extent lawful) any and all other rights
                                    or remedies notwithstanding any law or
                                    statute existing or hereafter enacted to the

                                    lost, stolen, destroyed, defaced or

                      3.   TERMS OF WARRANTS; EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.

                               1.   EXERCISE PERIOD

                                    Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each
                                    Holder shall have the right until 5:00 p.m.,
                                    New York City time, on the Expiration Date
                                    to receive from the Company the number of
                                    fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares
                                    which the Holder may at the time be entitled
                                    to receive on exercise of such Warrants and
                                    payment of the Exercise Price then in effect
                                    for such Warrant Shares. Each Warrant not
                                    exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City
                                    time, on the Expiration Date shall become
                                    void and all rights thereunder and all
                                    rights in respect thereof under this
                                    Agreement shall cease as of such time.

                                    The Company shall give notice not less than
                                    90, and not more than 120, days prior to the
                                    Expiration Date to the Holders of the
                                    outstanding Warrants to the effect that the
                                    Warrants will terminate and become void as
                                    of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
                                    Expiration Date; provided, however, that the
                                    failure by the Company to give such notice
                                    as provided in this Section shall not affect
                                    such termination and becoming void of the
                                    Warrants as of 5:00 p.m., New York City
                                    time, on the Expiration Date.

                               2.   Manner of Exercise

                                    A Warrant may be exercised at any time prior
                                    to the Expiration Date upon (i) surrender to
                                    the Company of the Warrant Certificates,
                                    together with the form of election to
                                    purchase properly completed and executed by
                                    the Holder thereof and (ii) payment to the
                                    Company of the Exercise Price for each share
                                    of Common Stock or other securities issuable
                                    upon exercise of such Warrants. The Exercise
                                    Price may be paid (i) in cash or by
                                    certified or official bank check or by wire
                                    transfer to an account designated by the
                                    Company for such purpose (a "Cash Exercise")
                                    or (ii) without the payment of cash, by
                                    reducing the number of shares of Common
                                    Stock that would be obtainable upon the
                                    exercise of a Warrant and payment of the
                                    Exercise Price in cash so as to yield a
                                    number of shares of Common Stock upon the
                                    exercise of such Warrant equal to the
                                    product of (a) the number of shares of
                                    Common Stock for which such Warrant is
                                    exercisable as of the date of exercise (if
                                    the Exercise Price were being paid in cash)
                                    and (b) the Cashless Exercise Ratio. An
                                    exercise of a Warrant in accordance with
                                    clause (ii) of the immediately preceding
                                    sentence is herein called a "Cashless
                                    Exercise." In the event of a Cashless
                                    Exercise of Warrants, the Company will
                                    purchase from the Holder thereof such number
                                    of Warrants as would have entitled the
                                    Holder thereof to receive the excess of the
                                    number of shares of Common Stock deliverable
                                    upon a Cash Exercise over the number of
                                    shares of Common Stock deliverable upon a
                                    Cashless Exercise, for a purchase price
                                    equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by
                                    the excess of the number of shares of Common
                                    Stock purchasable upon a Cash Exercise over
                                    the number of shares of Common Stock
                                    purchasable upon a Cashless Exercise. The
                                    Company agrees to offset the purchase price
                                    referred to in the immediately preceding
                                    sentence with the obligation to pay the
                                    Exercise Price in respect of the shares of
                                    Common Stock deliverable upon a Cashless
                                    Exercise. Upon surrender of a Warrant
                                    Certificate representing more than one
                                    Warrant in connection with the holder's
                                    option to elect a Cashless Exercise, the
                                    number of shares of Common Stock deliverable
<PAGE>   8
                                    upon a Cashless Exercise shall be equal to
                                    the number of shares of Common Stock
                                    issuable upon the exercise of Warrants that
                                    the Holder specifies are to be exercised
                                    pursuant to a Cashless Exercise multiplied
                                    by the Cashless Exercise Ratio. All
                                    provisions of this Agreement shall be
                                    applicable with respect to a surrender of a
                                    Warrant Certificate pursuant to a Cashless
                                    Exercise for less than the full number of
                                    Warrants represented thereby. Upon surrender
                                    of the Warrant Certificate and payment of
                                    the Exercise Price in accordance with this
                                    Agreement, the Company will issue shares of
                                    Common Stock of the Company for each Warrant
                                    evidenced by such Warrant Certificate,
                                    subject to adjustment as described herein.
                                    Whenever there occurs a Cashless Exercise,
                                    the Company shall deliver to the Holder a
                                    certificate setting forth the Cashless
                                    Exercise Ratio.

                               3.   Issuance of Warrant Shares

                                    Subject to Section 2.8, upon the surrender
                                    of Warrant Certificates and payment of the
                                    Exercise Price, as set forth above, the
                                    Company shall issue shares of Common Stock
                                    in such name or names as the Holder may
                                    designate, for the number of full Warrant
                                    Shares so purchased upon the exercise of
                                    such Warrants or other securities or
                                    property to which it is entitled, registered
                                    or otherwise to the Person or Persons
                                    entitled to receive the same, together with
                                    cash as provided in Section 3.4 in respect
                                    of any fractional Warrant Shares otherwise
                                    issuable upon such exercise. Such shares of
                                    Common Stock shall be deemed to have been
                                    issued and any Person so designated shall be
                                    deemed to have become a holder of record of
                                    such Warrant Shares as of the date of the
                                    surrender of such Warrant Certificates and
                                    payment of the per share Exercise Price or
                                    upon a Cashless Exercise.

                                    The Company hereby agrees that no service
                                    charge will be made for registration of
                                    transfer or exchange upon surrender of any
                                    Warrant Certificate at the office maintained
                                    for that purpose. Holders may be required to
                                    make payment of a sum sufficient to cover
                                    any tax or other governmental charge that
                                    may be imposed in connection with any
                                    registration or transfer or exchange of
                                    Warrant Certificates.

                               4.   Fractional Warrant Shares

                                    The Company shall not be required to issue
                                    fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of
                                    Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be
                                    exercised in full at the same time by the
                                    same Holder, the number of full Warrant
                                    Shares which shall be issuable upon such
                                    exercise shall be computed on the basis of
                                    the aggregate number of Warrant Shares
                                    purchasable pursuant thereto. If any
                                    fraction of a Warrant Share would, except
                                    for the provisions of this Section 3.4, be
                                    issuable on the exercise of any Warrant (or
                                    specified portion thereof), the Company may,
                                    at its option, pay an amount in cash equal
                                    to the Current Market Value for one Warrant
                                    Share on the Business Day immediately
                                    preceding the date the Warrant is exercised,
                                    multiplied by such fraction.

                               5.   Sufficient Authorized Share Capital

                                    The Company has and will maintain an
                                    authorized share capital sufficient for the
                                    issuance of such number of shares of Common
                                    Stock as will be issuable upon the exercise
                                    of all outstanding Warrants. Such shares of
                                    Common Stock, when issued and paid for in
                                    accordance with the Warrant Agreement, will
                                    be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
                                    nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and
                                    free from all liens, charges and security
                                    interests with respect to the issue thereof.

                               6.   Payment of Taxes

                                    The Company will pay all documentary stamp
                                    taxes attributable to the initial issuance
                                    of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares
                                    issuable upon the exercise of Warrants;
                                    provided, however, that the Company shall
                                    not be required to pay any tax or taxes
                                    which may be payable in respect of any
                                    transfer involved in the issue of any
                                    Warrant Certificates or Warrant Shares in a
                                    name other than that of the Holder of a
                                    Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the
                                    exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall
                                    not be required to issue or deliver such
                                    Warrant Certificates unless or until the
                                    Person or Persons requesting the issuance
                                    thereof shall have paid to the Company the
                                    amount of such tax or shall have established
                                    to the satisfaction of the Company that such
                                    tax has been paid.

                           SHARES ISSUABLE.

                               1.   ADJUSTMENTS

                                      The Exercise Price and the number of
                                    Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
                                    of Warrants shall be subject to adjustment
                                    from time to time as follows:

                                        a.  Changes in Shares of Common Stock.
                                            In the event that at any time or
                                            from time to time after the date
                                            hereof the Company shall (i) pay a
                                            dividend or make a distribution on
                                            its shares of Common Stock in shares
                                            of Common Stock or other shares of
                                            capital stock, (ii) subdivide its
                                            outstanding shares of Common Stock
                                            into a larger number of shares of
                                            Common Stock, (iii) combine its
                                            outstanding shares of Common Stock
                                            into a smaller number of shares of
                                            Common Stock or (iv) increase or
                                            decrease the number of shares of
                                            Common Stock outstanding by
                                            reclassification of its shares of
                                            Common Stock, then the number of
                                            shares of Common Stock purchasable
                                            upon exercise of each Warrant
                                            immediately after the happening of
                                            such event shall be adjusted
                                            (including by adjusting the
                                            definition of "Warrant Shares") so
                                            that, after giving effect to such
                                            adjustment, the Holder of each
                                            Warrant shall be entitled to receive
                                            the number of shares of Common Stock
                                            upon exercise that such Holder would
                                            have owned or have been entitled to
                                            receive had such Warrants been
                                            exercised immediately prior to the
                                            happening of the events described
                                            above (or, in the case of a dividend
                                            or distribution of shares of Common
                                            Stock, immediately prior to the
                                            record date therefor). An adjustment
                                            made pursuant to this Section 4.1(a)
                                            shall become effective immediately
                                            after the effective date,
                                            retroactive to the record date
                                            therefor in the case of a dividend
                                            or distribution in shares of Common

                                            in Section 4.1(a) or (y) any rights,

                                            the number of Warrant Shares
                                            purchasable upon the exercise of
                                            each Warrant shall be increased to a
                                            number determined by multiplying the

                                            other distribution. Such adjustment
                                            shall be made whenever any
                                            distribution is made and shall
                                            become effective as of the date of
                                            distribution, retroactive to the
                                            record date for any such
                                            distribution; provided, however,
                                            that the Company is not required to
                                            make an adjustment pursuant to this
                                            Section 4.1(b) if at the time of
                                            such distribution the Company makes
                                            the same distribution to Holders of
                                            Warrants as it makes to holders of
                                            shares of Common Stock pro rata
                                            based on the number of shares of
                                            Common Stock for which such Warrants
                                            are exercisable (whether or not
                                            currently exercisable). No
                                            adjustment shall be made pursuant to
                                            this Section 4.1(b) which shall have
                                            the effect of decreasing the number
                                            of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
                                            exercise of each Warrant.

                                            of Common Stock or stock or

                                            number of shares of Common Stock
                                            issuable immediately prior to the

                                            the Company is not required to make
                                            an adjustment pursuant to this
                                            Section 4.1(c) if the Company shall
                                            make the same distribution to
                                            Holders of Warrants. No adjustment
                                            shall be made pursuant to this
                                            Section 4.1(c) which shall have the
                                            effect of decreasing the number of

                                            exercise of each Warrant.

                                            If the Company at any time shall

                                            security shall be determined in good
                                            faith by the Board.

                                        d.  Combination; Liquidation. Except as

                                            practicable to the adjustments
                                            provided for in this Section 4. The
                                            provisions of this Section 4.1(d)
                                            shall similarly apply to successive

                                            Company, then the holders of the
                                            Warrants will be entitled to receive
                                            distributions on an equal basis with
                                            the holders of shares of Common
                                            Stock or other securities issuable
                                            upon exercise of the Warrants, as if
                                            the Warrants had been exercised
                                            immediately prior to such event,
                                            less the Exercise Price. Upon
                                            receipt of such payment, if any, the
                                            Warrants will expire and the rights
                                            of holders thereof will cease.

                                            In the case of any such Combination,

                                            necessary, in the good faith opinion
                                            of the Board, to protect such
                                            purchase rights as aforesaid.

                                        h.  Adjustment of Exercise Price.
                                            Whenever the number of shares of
                                            Common Stock purchasable upon the
                                            exercise of each Warrant is
                                            adjusted, as provided under this
                                            Section 4, the Exercise Price per
                                            share of Common Stock payable upon
                                            exercise of such Warrant shall be
                                            adjusted (calculated to the nearest
                                            $0.01) so that it shall equal the
                                            price determined by multiplying such
                                            Exercise Price immediately prior to
                                            such adjustment
<PAGE>   12
                                            by a fraction the numerator of which
                                            shall be the number of shares of
                                            Common Stock purchasable upon the
                                            exercise of each Warrant immediately
                                            prior to such adjustment and the
                                            denominator of which shall be the
                                            number of shares of Common Stock so
                                            purchasable immediately thereafter.
                                            Following any adjustment to the
                                            Exercise Price pursuant to this
                                            Section 4, the amount payable, when
                                            adjusted, shall never be less than
                                            the par value per share of Common
                                            Stock at the time of such
                                            adjustment.

                                    If after an adjustment, a Holder of a
                                    Warrant upon exercise of it may receive
                                    shares of two or more classes of capital
                                    stock of the Company, the Company shall
                                    determine the allocation of the adjusted
                                    Exercise Price between such classes of
                                    shares in a manner that the Board deems fair
                                    and equitable to the Holders. After such
                                    allocation, the exercise privilege and the
                                    Exercise Price of each class of shares shall
                                    thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms
                                    comparable to those applicable to shares of
                                    Common Stock under this Section 4.

                                    Such adjustment shall be made successively
                                    whenever any event listed above shall occur.

                               2.   Superseding Adjustment

                                    Upon the expiration of any rights,
                                    options, warrants or conversion or exchange
                                    privileges which resulted in the adjustments
                                    pursuant to this Section 4, if any thereof
                                    shall not have been exercised, the number of
                                    Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
                                    of each Warrant shall be readjusted as if
                                    (A) the only shares of Common Stock issuable
                                    upon exercise of such rights, options,
                                    warrants, conversion or exchange privileges
                                    were the shares of Common Stock, if any,
                                    actually issued upon the exercise of such
                                    rights, options, warrants or conversion or
                                    exchange privileges and (B) shares of Common
                                    Stock actually issued, if any, were issuable
                                    for the consideration actually received by
                                    the Company upon such exercise plus the
                                    aggregate consideration, if any, actually
                                    received by the Company for the issuance,
                                    sale or grant of all such rights, options,
                                    warrants or conversion or exchange
                                    privileges whether or not exercised;
                                    provided, however, that no such readjustment
                                    shall (except by reason of an intervening
                                    adjustment under Section 4.1(a)) have the
                                    effect of decreasing the number of Warrant
                                    Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each
                                    Warrant by an amount in excess of the amount
                                    of the adjustment initially made in respect
                                    of the issuance, sale or grant of such
                                    rights, options, warrants or conversion or
                                    exchange privileges.

                               3.   Minimum Adjustment

                                    The adjustments required by the preceding
                                    Sections of this Section 4 shall be made
                                    whenever and as often as any specified event
                                    requiring an adjustment shall occur, except
                                    that no adjustment of the number of shares
                                    of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of
                                    Warrants that would otherwise be required
                                    shall be made (except in the case of a
                                    subdivision or combination of shares of
                                    Common Stock, as provided for in Section
                                    4.1(a)) unless and until such adjustment
                                    either by itself or with other adjustments
                                    not previously made increases or decreases
                                    by at least 1% of the number of shares of
                                    Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of
                                    Warrants immediately prior to the making of
                                    such adjustment. Any adjustment representing
                                    a change of less than such minimum amount
                                    shall be carried forward and made as soon as
                                    such adjustment, together with other
                                    adjustments required by this Section 4 and
                                    not previously made, would result in a
                                    minimum adjustment. For the purpose of any
                                    adjustment, any specified event shall be
                                    deemed to have occurred at the close of
                                    business on the date of its occurrence. In
                                    computing adjustments under this Section 4,
                                    fractional interests in shares of Common
                                    Stock shall be taken into account to the
                                    nearest one-hundredth of a share.

                               4.   Notice of Adjustment

                                    Whenever the number of shares of Common
                                    Stock and other property, if any,
                                    purchasable upon exercise of Warrants is
                                    adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
                                    shall deliver to the Holders a certificate
                                    setting forth, in reasonable detail, the
                                    event requiring the adjustment and the
                                    method by which such adjustment was
                                    calculated (including a description of the
                                    basis on which the Board determined the fair

                                    or warrants or other subscription or

                                    after giving effect to such adjustment. The
                                    Company shall promptly deliver a copy of

                               6.   Adjustment to Warrant Certificate

                                      The form of Warrant Certificate need not
                                    be changed because of any adjustment made
                                    pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrant
                                    Certificates issued after such adjustment
                                    may state the same Exercise Price and the
                                    same number of shares of Common Stock as are
                                    stated in any Warrant Certificates issued
                                    prior to the adjustment. The Company,
                                    however, may at any time in its sole
                                    discretion make any change in the form of
                                    Warrant Certificate that it may deem
                                    appropriate to give effect to such
                                    adjustments and that does not affect the
                                    substance of the Warrant Certificate, and
                                    any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued,
                                    whether in exchange or substitution for an
                                    outstanding Warrant Certificate or
                                    otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

                                    Current Market Value of any item under
                                    Section 4, such determination may be
                                    challenged in good faith by the Majority
                                    Holders.

                               8.   Treasury Stock

                                    be deemed an issuance thereof and a

                                    shares as treasury stock shall be deemed to
                                    be a redemption thereof for the purposes of
                                    this Agreement.

                                    by any party hereto pursuant to this
                                    Agreement shall properly lie and shall be
                                    brought in any federal or state court
                                    located in the State of New York. By

                                    each party hereto irrevocably submits to the
                                    jurisdiction of such courts for itself or
                                    himself and in respect of its or his

                                    for the resolution of such action.

No. 02 1,200,000 Warrants
                               WARRANT CERTIFICATE

                            WEIGHTWATCHERS.COM, INC.


THIS CERTIFIES THAT, Weight Watchers International, Inc., a Virginia corporation
("WWI"), is the owner of 1,200,000 Warrants (the "Warrants") as described above,
transferable only on the books of WeightWatchers.com, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), by the holder thereof in person or by his or her
duly authorized attorney, on surrender of the Certificate properly endorsed.
Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof (the "Holder"), at its option and
subject to the provisions contained herein and in the Warrant Agreement, dated
as of October 1, 2000 (the "Warrant Agreement"), between the Company and WWI, to
purchase from the Company, one Warrant Share per Warrant at the exercise price
per share of $7.14 (the "Exercise Price"), or by Cashless Exercise. This
Warrant is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant
Agreement, to all of which terms and provisions the Holder of this Warrant
Certificate consents by acceptance hereof. The Warrant Agreement is hereby
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Reference is hereby
made to the Warrant Agreement for a full statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and obligations of the Company and the Holders of
the Warrants. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Warrant Agreement. This Warrant Certificate
shall terminate and become void as of 5:00 p.m. on October 1, 2010 (the
"Expiration Date") or upon the exercise hereof as to all the shares of Common
Stock subject hereto. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
<PAGE>   17
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Warrant Certificate
set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in
accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to be
executed on behalf of the Company on the date set forth below.

Dated: October 1, 2000
                                            WEIGHTWATCHERS.COM, INC.


                                            By:

                                            Name:

                                            Title:


                    [FORM OF REVERSE OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE]

This Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with the Warrant
Agreement. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained for inspection by the
Holder hereof upon written request to the Company, 360 Lexington Ave., 11th
Floor, New York, New York 10017.

Warrants may be exercised at any time until 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the
Expiration Date. Subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may
be exercised in whole or in part by surrender of this Warrant Certificate with
the form of election to purchase Warrant Shares attached hereto duly executed
and with the simultaneous payment of the Exercise Price (i) in cash to the
Company at the office of the Company or (ii) by Cashless Exercise. Payment of
the Exercise Price in cash shall be made in cash or by certified or official
bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of same-day
funds to an account designated by the Company for such purpose. Payment by
Cashless Exercise shall be made by the surrender of a Warrant or Warrants
represented by one or more Warrant Certificates and without payment of the
Exercise Price in cash, in exchange for the issuance of such number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
for which such Warrants would otherwise then be nominally exercised if payment
of the Exercise Price were being made in cash and (2) the Cashless Exercise
Ratio.

The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant
shall, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted.

In the event the Company enters into a Combination following which this Warrant
remains outstanding, the Holder hereof will be entitled to receive upon exercise
of the Warrants the shares of capital stock or other securities or other
property of such surviving entity as such Holder would have been entitled to
receive upon or as the result of such Combination had the Holder exercised its
Warrants immediately prior to such Combination; provided, however, that in the
event that, in connection with such Combination, consideration to holders of
shares of Common Stock in exchange for their shares is payable solely in cash or
in the event of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, the
Holder hereof will be entitled to receive distributions on an equal basis with
the holders of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants, as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such
events, less the Exercise Price.

The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes,
assessments or other governmental charges in connection with the transfer or
exchange of the Warrant Certificates pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Warrant
Agreement but not for any exchange or original issuance (not involving a
transfer) with respect to the exercise of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares.

Upon any partial exercise of the Warrants, there shall be issued to the Holder
hereof a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the Warrant Shares as to which
the Warrants shall not have been exercised. This Warrant Certificate may be
exchanged at the office of the Company by presenting this Warrant Certificate
properly endorsed with a request to exchange this Warrant Certificate for other
Warrant Certificates evidencing an equal number of Warrants. In the event any
fractional Warrant Shares would have to be issued upon the exercise of the
Warrants, the Company may, at its option, pay an amount in cash equal to the
Current Market Value for one Warrant Share on the Business Day immediately
preceding the date the Warrant is exercised, multiplied by such fraction, in
lieu of issuing such fractional share.
<PAGE>   18
The Warrants do not entitle any holder hereof to any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company. All shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company
upon the exercise of the Warrants shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly
issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

The Holder of this Warrant Certificate may be deemed and treated by the Company
as the absolute owner of the Warrant Certificate for all purposes whatsoever and
the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
