\makeatletter
\newcounter{exhibit}
\renewcommand\theexhibit{\@arabic\c at exhibit}
\def\fps at exhibit{tbp}
\def\ftype at exhibit{1}
\def\ext at exhibit{loe}
\def\exhibitname{Exhibit}
\def\fnum at exhibit{\exhibitname\nobreakspace\theexhibit}
\newenvironment{exhibit}
               {\@float{exhibit}}
               {\end at float}

\def\listexhibitname{List of Exhibits}
\newcommand\listofexhibits{%
    \section*{\listexhibitname}%
      \@mkboth{\listexhibitname}%
         {\listexhibitname}%
    \@starttoc{loe}%
    }

This would achieve what you needed. \listofexhibits would give you a
list like \listoffigures.
