if a card gets exiled does it keep its counters?
No. Once a card changes zones, it loses all memory of its previous existence. Going to exile is no different to going to a graveyard or hand.
The exception, of course, is Skullbriar, the Walking Grave, because its ability specifically says that it keeps its counters.
The other exception is that an ability that affects a permanent spell on the stack will continue to affect that permanent when it enters the battlefield.
