The purchase price per share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant (the "Purchase Price") shall initially be $0.01, provided, however,
that the Purchase Price shall be adjusted from time to time as provided herein.
(a) Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein not

Agreement. As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise
requires, have the following respective meanings:
(a) The term "Company" shall include Universal Automotive
Industries, Inc. and any corporation that shall succeed or assume the
obligations of such corporation hereunder.
(b) The term "Common Stock" includes (a) the Company's
common stock, $0.01 par value per share, (b) any other capital stock of
any class or classes (however designated) of the Company, authorized on
or after such date, the holders of which shall have the right, without
limitation as to amount, either to all or to a share of the balance of
current dividends and liquidating dividends after the payment of
dividends and distributions on any shares entitled to preference, and
the holders of which shall ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies,
be entitled to vote for the election of a majority of directors of the
1
Company (even though the right so to vote has been suspended by the
happening of such a contingency) and (c) any other securities into
which or for which any of the securities described in (a) or (b) may be
converted or exchanged pursuant to a plan of recapitalization,
reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.
(c) The term "Other Securities" refers to any stock
(other than Common Stock) and other securities of the Company or any
other person (corporate or otherwise) that the Holder of this Warrant
at any time shall be entitled to receive, or shall have received, on
the exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of or in addition to Common
Stock, or that at any time shall be issuable or shall have been issued
in exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities
pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise.
2. Exercise of Warrant.
2.1 Method of Exercise.
(a) This warrant may be exercised in whole at any time
and from time to time during the Exercise Period by the Holder hereof
by delivery of a notice of exercise (a "Notice of Exercise")
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A via facsimile to
the Company. Promptly thereafter the Holder shall surrender this
Warrant to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment
of the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Exercise Price").
Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the
Holder, (i) by check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company,
or (ii) by wire transfer to the account of the Company. Upon exercise,
the Holder shall be entitled to receive, promptly after payment in
full, one or more certificates, issued in the Holder's name or in such
name or names as the Holder may direct, subject to the limitations on
transfer contained herein, for the number of shares of Common Stock so
purchased. The shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be deemed to
be issued as of the close of business on the date on which the Company
shall have received from the Holder payment in full of the Exercise
Price (the "Exercise Date").
(b) It is specifically contemplated that the Holder
hereof shall act as the calculation agent for all exercises of this
Warrant. In the event of any dispute or discrepancies, such records
maintained by the Holders shall be controlling and determinative in the
absence of manifest error.
2.2 Regulation D Restrictions. The Holder hereof
represents and warrants to the Company that it has acquired this Warrant and
anticipates acquiring the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant solely for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view
to or for resale of such securities unless such resale has been registered with
the Commission or an applicable exemption is available therefore. At the time
this Warrant is exercised, the Company may require the Holder to state in the
Notice of Exercise such representations concerning the Holder as are necessary
or appropriate to assure compliance by the Holder with the Securities Act.
2.3 Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time
of the exercise of this Warrant, upon request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge
in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder the registration
rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in
accordance with the provisions of a Registration Rights Agreement dated the date
hereof (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). If the Holder shall fail to make
any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the
Company to afford such Holder any such rights.
2.4 Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding the rights of
the Holder to exercise all or a portion of this Warrant as described herein,
such exercise rights shall be limited, solely to the extent set forth in the
Purchase Agreement as if such provisions were specifically set forth herein. In
addition, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant is subject to reduction as specified in Section 10.3 of the Purchase
Agreement.
3. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within three
(3) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the
2
payment by it of any applicable issue, stamp or transfer taxes) will cause to be
issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder thereof, or, to the extent
permissible hereunder, to such other person as such Holder may direct, a
certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be
entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such
Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by
the then applicable Purchase Price, together with any other stock or other
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder
is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise.
4. Adjustment for Extraordinary Events. The Purchase Price to be
paid by the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant, and the consideration to be
received upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be adjusted in case at any time or
from time to time pursuant to Article XI of the Purchase Agreement as if such
provisions were specifically set forth herein.
5. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock
receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefore on
such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) will not
transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other
person (corporate or otherwise), or consolidate with or merge into any other
person or permit any such person to consolidate with or merge into the Company
(if the Company is not the surviving person), unless such other person shall
expressly assume in writing and will be bound by all the terms of this Warrant.
6. Accountant's Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of
any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense
will promptly cause independent certified public accountants of national
standing selected by the Company to compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting
forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the
consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued
or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the
number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant,
in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted
as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such
certificate to the Holder of this Warrant, and will, on the written request at
any time of the Holder of this Warrant, furnish to such Holder a like
certificate setting forth the Purchase Price at the time in effect and showing
how it was calculated.
7. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders
of any class or securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof
who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person, or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up of the Company,
3

is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and
stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, and
(ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any, as of which the holders of
record of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for then and in each such event the
Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder of this Warrant a notice
specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose
of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount of character of
such dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time,
if any, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
for securities or other property deliverable on such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least 20
days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any action is to be
taken.
8. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant.

and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.

endorsed and in compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in the
legend on the face of this Warrant, to the Company, the Company at its expense
will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof a new Warrant of
like tenor, in the name of such Holder or as such Holder (on payment by such
Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on
the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on
the face of the Warrant so surrendered.
(b) Upon written notice from the Purchasers that the
Purchasers have elected to transfer amongst each other a portion of this
Warrant, and on surrender for amendment and restatement of this Warrant, the
Company at its expense will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Holder
thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of such Holder as the
Purchasers (on payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may

satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of

Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably

mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
