ARTICLE II
WARRANT CERTIFICATES

Section 2.01. Issuance of Warrants. At the Initial Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholders Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 269,000 shares of Common Stock. Each Warrantholder shall receive a Warrant for the number of shares of Common Stock indicated on Schedule A attached hereto.

At the Second Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholders Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 538,000 shares of Common Stock. Each Warrantholder shall receive a Warrant for the number of shares of Common Stock indicated on Schedule A attached hereto.

At each Subsequent Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall issue to each Purchaser (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) participating in such Subsequent Closing Warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 107,600 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the principal amount of the Debentures purchased from the Company by such Purchaser in the Subsequent Closing and the denominator of which is $1,000,000.

Section 2.02. Reduction of Warrants Upon Repayment in Full. Subject to Section 2.11, if the Company repays all of the Indebtedness before the second anniversary of the Issue Date, the amount of shares for which the Warrants are exercisable shall be reduced by seventeen percent (17%). If the Company repays all of the Indebtedness after the second anniversary and before the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the amount of shares for which the Warrants are exercisable shall be reduced by multiplying [15,250] shares by the number of full months between the date of the repayment in full and the third anniversary of the Issue Date. There shall be no reduction in the amount of shares for which the Warrants are exercisable for any partial repayment of Indebtedness.

Section 2.03. Multiple Warrantholders. All Warrants issued by the Company shall be issued separately to the Warrantholders in accordance with each Warrantholder’s Warrant Percentage set forth on Schedule A.

Section 2.04. Form and Dating. The Warrant Certificates shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Agreement. The Warrant Certificates may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage. Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date that it is executed by the Company.

Section 2.05. Execution and Countersignature. Two Officers shall sign the Warrant Certificates for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose

signature is on a Warrant Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Company issues the Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Certificate shall be valid nevertheless.

Section 2.06. Warrant Registrar. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Warrants may be presented for registration of transfer, exchange or exercise (the “Warrant Registrar”). The Warrant Registrar shall keep a register of the Warrants and of their transfer, exchange or exercise. The Company may have one or more co-registrars. The Company may act as Warrant Registrar. The term Warrant Registrar includes any co-registrars. The Company shall initially serve as Warrant Registrar in connection with the Warrants.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Warrant Registrar not a party to this Agreement. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Agreement that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Warrantholders of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Warrant Registrar, the Company shall act as such.

The Company may remove any Warrant Registrar upon written notice to such Warrant Registrar and to the Warrantholders; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (1) acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Warrant Registrar and delivered to the Warrantholders or (2) notification to the Warrantholders that the Company shall serve as Warrant Registrar until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (1) above. The Warrant Registrar may resign at any time upon written notice. The Company and the Warrant Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Warrant Certificate is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant Certificate for all purposes whatsoever and neither the Company and the Warrant Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. The Warrants shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Warrant Certificate for registration of transfer and in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. When a Warrant is presented to the Warrant Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Warrant Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Warrants are presented to the Warrant Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal number of Warrants of other denominations, the Warrant Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the requirements of Section 8-401(a)(1) and (2) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute Warrant Certificates at the Warrant Registrar’s request. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer, exchange or exercise pursuant to this Section 2.07.

Each Warrantholder may not assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder; provided that Warrantholder may transfer this Warrant in whole or in part with all corresponding rights and obligations hereunder to any one or more of its Associates (as defined below). Upon such assignment, the assignee(s) shall be deemed the Warrantholder(s) for all purposes under this Warrant Agreement. “Associate” means any current or former members of, or any general or limited partners or retired partners of, the Warrantholder, or any Person or entity that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, with the general partner of the

Warrantholder, the Warrantholder. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 2.07 shall be void ab initio and shall not be recognized by the party sought to be bound thereby. No Warrant has been, and the Warrant Shares at the time of their issuance may not be, registered under the Securities Act, and, except as provided in any separate agreement providing for registration rights, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Company to so register any Securities. The Securities are issued or issuable subject to the provisions and conditions contained herein, and every holder of the Securities by accepting such Securities agrees with the Company to such provisions and conditions, and represents to the Company that such Warrant has been acquired and the Warrant Shares will be acquired for the account of such holder of the Securities for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.

Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2.07, each Warrant (including each Warrant issued upon the transfer of any Warrant) and all Warrant Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the following form:


	THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OTHER THAN PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THAT CERTAIN WARRANT AGREEMENT (THE “WARRANT AGREEMENT”) DATED AS OF JUNE 9, 2003. PURSUANT TO SECTION 2 OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT THE NUMBER OF SHARES MAY BE SUBJECT TO REDUCTION FOR WHICH THIS WARRANT MAY BE EXERCISED AS PROVIDED THEREIN. A COPY OF SUCH WARRANT AGREEMENT HAS BEEN FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE COMPANY LOCATED AT 00000 XXXX XXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXX 00000, WHERE THE SAME MAY BE INSPECTED DAILY DURING BUSINESS HOURS. TRANSFERS OF THIS WARRANT (AND THE SHARES OBTAINABLE HEREUNDER) ARE RESTRICTED AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.07 OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT.

Prior to any transfer or attempted transfer of any Warrants, the Warrantholder shall give five (5) days’ prior written notice (a “Transfer Notice”) to the Company of such Warrantholder’s intention to effect such transfer, describing the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer, and, if requested by the Company, obtain from counsel to such Warrantholder (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), an opinion that the proposed transfer of such Warrants may be effected without registration under the Securities Act. After receipt of the Transfer Notice and opinion, the Company shall, within five (5) days thereof, so notify the Warrantholder and such Warrantholder shall thereupon be entitled to transfer such

Warrants, in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Notice. Each Warrant issued upon such transfer shall bear the restrictive legend set forth above, unless, in the opinion of such counsel such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. The Warrantholder giving the Transfer Notice shall not be entitled to transfer such Warrants until receipt of notice from the Company under this Section 2.07.

Section 2.08. Replacement Certificate. If a mutilated Warrant is surrendered to the Company or if a Warrantholder claims that the Warrant Certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to execute a replacement Warrant Certificate if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Warrantholder (i) notifies the Company within a reasonable time after he has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Company does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (ii) makes such request to the Company prior to the Warrant being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (iii) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Company. If required by the Company, such Warrantholder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Company to protect the Company from any loss that it may suffer if a Warrant is replaced. The Company may charge the Warrantholder for its expenses in replacing a Warrant Certificate. Every replacement Warrant is an additional obligation of the Company.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Warrants.

Section 2.09. Outstanding Warrants. Warrants outstanding at any time are all Warrant Certificates executed by the Company except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. A Warrant does not cease to be outstanding because an Affiliate of the Company holds the Warrant. A Warrant ceases to be outstanding if the Company holds the Warrant.

If a Warrant Certificate is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Warrant Certificate is held by a protected purchaser.

Section 2.10. Cancellation. The Company at any time may cancel Warrant Certificates which have been surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, exercise or cancellation. The Company and no one else shall cancel all Warrant Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, exercise or cancellation. The Company may not issue new Warrant Certificates to replace Warrants Certificates that have been exercised or Warrants which the Company has purchased or otherwise acquired.

Section 2.11. Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, immediately upon the first to occur of (i) a Default (as defined in the Debenture); (ii) an Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture) or (iii) approval by the Board of a Change of Control (as defined in the Debenture) all Warrants will no longer be subject to reduction as set forth in Section 2.02 or to Mandatory Exercise as set forth in Section 3.09.

ARTICLE III
EXERCISE TERMS

Section 3.01. Exercise. Each Warrant shall initially entitle the Warrantholder thereof, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock.

The exercise price per share (the “Exercise Price”) of each Warrant shall be equal to the average closing price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the Initial Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that if any Subsequent Closing occurs and the average closing price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days immediately prior to such Subsequent Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) is less than the then-applicable Exercise Price, the Exercise Price of each Warrant shall thereafter equal the average closing price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days immediately prior to such Subsequent Closing.

Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as provided above, the Company shall promptly file with the Warrant Registrar an officers’ certificate setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Concurrently with the delivery of such certificate, the Company shall deliver a notice of such adjustment of the Exercise Price setting forth the Exercise Price as adjusted and the date on which such adjustment became effective to each Warrantholder at such Warrantholder’s last address appearing on the register of Warrantholders maintained by the Warrant Registrar for that purpose within 10 days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

Notwithstanding any reduction of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Exercise Price shall be also subject to adjustment pursuant to Article IV hereof.

Section 3.02. Time of Exercise; Separability


	(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Warrants shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time on any Business Day on or after the Issue Date.

	(b) No Warrant shall be exercisable after the earlier of (i) five (5) years from the Issue Date and (ii) two (2) years from the date on which the Debentures are paid in full (the “*Warrant Expiration Date*”).

	(c) Each Warrant will be separately transferable, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, on and after the Issue Date.

Section 3.03. Expiration. Each Warrant shall terminate and become void as of the earlier of (i) the close of business on the Warrant Expiration Date or (ii) the date such Warrant is exercised. The Company shall give notice not less than ninety (90), and not more than one hundred twenty (120), days prior to the Warrant Expiration Date to the Warrantholders of all then outstanding Warrants to the effect that the Warrants will terminate and become void as of the close of business on the Warrant Expiration Date.

Section 3.04. Manner of Exercise. Warrants may be exercised upon surrender to the Warrant Registrar at its office of the related Warrant Certificate, together with the form of election attached thereto to purchase Common Stock duly filled in and signed by the Warrantholder thereof and (a) payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for each Warrant Share or other security issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants then exercised; or (b) by the election of Cashless Exercise set forth below. Such payment shall be made (i) in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company for such purpose or (ii) without the payment of cash, by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock 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 issuable as of the Exercise Date upon the exercise of such Warrant (if payment of the Exercise Price were being made in cash) and (b) the Cashless Exercise Ratio. An exercise of a Warrant in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (ii) is herein called a “Cashless Exercise”. Upon surrender of a Warrant Certificate representing more than one Warrant in connection with the Warrantholder’s option to elect a Cashless Exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon a Cashless Exercise shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants that the Warrantholder 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. Subject to Section 3.02, the rights represented by the Warrants shall be exercisable at the election of the Warrantholders thereof either in full at any time or from time to time in part and in the event that a Warrant Certificate is surrendered for exercise of less than all the Warrants represented by such Warrant Certificate at any time prior to the Initial Warrant Expiration Date in the case of the Initial Warrants and the additional Warrant Expiration Date in the case of additional Warrants, a new Warrant Certificate representing the remaining Warrants shall be issued.

Section 3.05. Issuance of Warrant Shares. Subject to Section 2.07, upon the surrender of Warrant Certificates and payment of the Exercise Price or election of a Cashless Exercise, as set forth in Section 3.04, the Company shall issue and cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock (“Stock Transfer Agent”) to countersign and deliver to or upon the written order of the Warrantholder and in such name or names as such Warrantholder may designate, a certificate or certificates 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 (including any depositary institution so designated by a Warrantholder), together with cash as provided in Section 3.06 in respect of any fractional Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any Person so designated therein 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 Exercise Price or election of a Cashless Exercise, as aforesaid; provided, however, that if, at such date, the transfer books for the Warrant Shares shall be closed, the certificates for the Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on which such books shall next be opened and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificates for such Warrant Shares; provided

further, however, that such transfer books, unless otherwise required by law, shall not be closed at any one time for a period longer than ninety (90) calendar days.

Section 3.06. 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 Warrantholder, 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 which may be purchasable pursuant thereto. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.06, be issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Value per Warrant Share, as determined on the day immediately preceding the date the Warrant is presented for exercise, multiplied by such fraction, computed to the nearest whole cent.

Section 3.07. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company shall at all times keep reserved out of its authorized shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The registrar for the Common Stock (the “Stock Registrar”) shall at all times until the Warrant Expiration Date reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be required for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Stock Transfer Agent. The Company will supply such Stock Transfer Agent with duly executed stock certificates for such purpose and will itself provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in Section 3.06. The Company will furnish to such Stock Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments (and certificates related thereto) transmitted to each Warrantholder.

The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon exercise of Warrants shall, upon issue, be fully paid, nonassessable, free from all taxes and free from all liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof.

Section 3.08. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company (a) will not permit the par or nominal value of any Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants to exceed the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (b) will take all reasonable action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants from time to time outstanding and (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the Exercise Rate (as such term is defined in Section 4.01 below) if the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and available for the issuance of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) upon such exercise.

Section 3.09. Mandatory Exercise. Subject to Section 2.11, the Company may, at its option, require all Holders to exercise its Warrant at any time after the first anniversary of the date hereof by delivering a written notice to each Holder (“Required Exercise Notice”), and if so required, each Holder shall exercise this Warrant within sixty (60) days from the date on which such Holder received the Required Exercise Notice, if at any time after the first anniversary of the Issuance Date: (i) (A) the average of the high and low sale prices for the

Common Stock during normal trading hours over the thirty (30) consecutive trading days (exclusive of “ex-dividend” and similar dates) immediately prior to the date of the Required Exercise Notice on the Nasdaq national market quotation system (“Nasdaq National Market”) as confirmed by Bloomberg Financial Market News (“30-Day Average Price”), is greater than 250% of the Exercise Price (as adjusted from time to time under Article IV, other than under Section 4.03) and (B) the Indebtedness has been paid in full; or (ii) the 30-Day Average Price is greater than 300% of the initial Exercise Price (as adjusted from time to time under Article IV, other than under Section 4.03). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Warrantholder shall be required to exercise Warrants hereunder unless at the time of exercise (i) the Company shall have an effective registration statement covering the resale of all of the Warrant Shares, which shall be deemed to be the Demand Registration under the Investor Rights Agreement or (ii) the Warrant Shares are eligible for sale by such holder under Rule 144(k).

ARTICLE IV
ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS

Section 4.01. General. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant (the “Exercise Rate”) is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in this Article IV. The Exercise Rate shall initially be 1.0000.

Section 4.02. Adjustment for Common Stock Dividends. If the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to holders of any of its securities in shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by multiplying such Exercise Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Common Stock Record Date (as defined in Section 4.07) plus the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Common Stock Record Date fixed for such determination, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Common Stock Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.02 is declared but not so paid or made, the Exercise Rate shall again be adjusted to the Exercise Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Section 4.03. Adjustment for Issuances of Common Stock, Options, Warrants, Rights and Convertible or Exchangeable Securities. If the Company shall issue, sell or distribute any shares of Common Stock or offer or issue, sell or distribute options, rights or warrants to any Person entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or issue, sell or distribute convertible or exchangeable securities which are convertible or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, in each case, at a price per share less than the Exercise Price, the Exercise Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Exercise Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date immediately prior to such sale, issuance or distribution of shares, options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such date plus the total number of additional shares of

Common Stock to be issued, sold or distributed or subject to such options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities for subscription or purchase and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued, sold or distributed or subject to such options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities would purchase at the Exercise Price. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the issuance, sale or distribution of such shares, options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities, upon the expiration or termination of such options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities the Exercise Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance, sale or distributions of such options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such shares, options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities are not so issued, the Exercise Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Rate which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such shares, options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities had not been fixed. In determining whether any shares, options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Exercise Price per share, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and the amount of any exercise price or subscription price required to be paid upon exercise of such options, rights, warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities. No adjustment of the Exercise Rate shall be made if such adjustment would result in a decrease of the number of shares issuable upon application of the adjusted Exercise Rate.

Section 4.04. Adjustment upon Subdivision, Reclassification or Combination of Common Stock. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or reclassified into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

Section 4.05. Adjustments for Mergers, Consolidations, etc. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation, or in case of any merger of another corporation into the Company (other than a merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of the Common Stock), or in case of any sale, conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, each Warrantholder shall have the right thereafter, during the period such

Warrants shall be exercisable in accordance with its terms, to exercise such Warrants for the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of shares of the Common Stock into which such Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, assuming such holder of shares of the Common Stock failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer (provided that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer is not the same for each share of the Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing share”), then for the purpose of this Section 4.05 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Such securities shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of the triggering event, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article IV. The above provisions of this Section 4.05 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, conveyances or transfers. The Company shall deliver written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to any consummation of the events enumerated in the first sentence of this Section 4.05.

Section 4.06. Other Events. If any event occurs as to which the foregoing provisions of this Article IV are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, fairly and adequately protect the purchase rights of the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then such Board of Directors shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion of such Board of Directors, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid, but in no event shall any such adjustment have the effect of decreasing the Exercise Rate or decreasing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

Section 4.07. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article IV, the following term shall have the meaning indicated:

“Common Stock Record Date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

Section 4.08. Deferral of Certain Adjustments. No adjustment in the Exercise Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such rate; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 4.08 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article IV shall be made by the Company and shall be

rounded to fourth decimal place. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock.

Section 4.09. Officers Certificate; Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Warrant Registrar an officers’ certificate setting forth the Exercise Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Exercise Rate setting forth the adjusted Exercise Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Exercise Rate to each Warrantholder at such Warrantholder’s last address appearing on the register of Warrantholders maintained by the Warrant Registrar for that purpose within 20 days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

Section 4.10. Right to Delay Issuance of Incremental Common Stock. In any case in which this Article IV provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a Common Stock Record Date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to any holder of Warrants exercised after such Common Stock Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment.

Section 4.11. Treasury Shares Disregarded. For purposes of this Article IV, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

Section 4.12. No Adjustment for Certain Issuances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Section 4.03 shall not apply, and no adjustment to the Exercise Rate shall be made with respect to shares of Common Stock (or any security convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock) sold or issued by the Company after the date of this Agreement in connection with any of the following:


	(i) Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement;

	(ii) to officers, directors or employees of, or consultants or contractors to, the Company, pursuant to a stock grant, stock option, restricted stock purchase agreement, stock appreciation right, option plan, purchase plan or other employee stock incentive program or agreement, in each case, where such grant, plan or program is approved by the Board of Directors and where the shares are issued or granted at then Current Market Value (which value may for this purpose be established by reference to up to a 15 trading day average);

	(ii) upon the exercise of the Warrants, or under other warrants, options or convertible securities outstanding on the date hereof (including, in either case, shares issued as a result of the operation of anti-dilution provisions contained therein);

	(iii) pursuant to an underwritten public offering;


	(iv) to clients, customers, vendors or suppliers of the Company, provided that such issuance is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, and provided that such issuances in the aggregate (together with all issuances pursuant to clauses (v) and (vi)) shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Company’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis;

	(v) to institutional financing sources in connection with such entities providing debt financing to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, provided that such arrangements are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, and provided that such issuances in the aggregate (together with all issuances pursuant to clauses (iv) and (vi)) shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Company’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis;

	(vi) issued or issuable in consideration of the acquisition by the Company of the assets, capital stock or other equity interests of, or in connection with a joint venture with, another entity (including, without limitation, shares issued to key employees of such sellers), provided that such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors, and provided that such issuances (together will all issuances under clauses (iv) and (v)) shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis; or

	(vii) in any stock split, stock dividend, or similar recapitalization that affects all security holders of like Class or Series proportionately.

Section 4.13. Notice of Certain Adjustments. If the Company shall take any action requiring an adjustment to the Exercise Rate pursuant to this Article IV, then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Warrant Registrar, and shall cause to be mailed to all Warrantholders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Warrant Register, at least twenty (20) Business Days (or 10 Business Days in any case specified in clause 4.02 or 4.03 above) prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of shares of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which a reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give the notice required by this Section 4.13 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any dividend, distribution, right, warrant, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or the vote upon any such action.

Section 4.14. Adjustment to Warrant Certificate. The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to this Article IV or Section 3.01, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same Exercise Price (unless adjusted pursuant to Section 3.01) and the same number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as are stated in the Warrant Certificates initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. 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 or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

COMMON STOCK WARRANT
OF
SUPERIOR CONSULTANT HOLDINGS CORPORATION

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [ ], or its registered assigns, is the registered holder of a Common Stock Warrant (the “Warrant”). The Warrant entitles the Warrantholder at its option and subject to the provisions contained herein and in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, to purchase from Superior Consultant Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“the Company”), [ ] shares of Common Stock, par value of $.01 per share, of the Company, subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to Article IV of the Warrant Agreement (the “Common Stock”) at the per share exercise price of $[ ] (the “Exercise Price”) or by Cashless Exercise referred to below. This Warrant shall terminate and become void as of the close of business on the Warrant Expiration Date or upon the exercise hereof as to all the shares of Common Stock subject hereto. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Exercise Price per share shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below).

This Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with a Warrant Agreement dated as of June 9, 2003 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and various Warrantholders party thereto (the “Warrantholders”), and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and provisions the Warrantholder 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 Warrantholders. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Warrant Agreement. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained for inspection by the Warrantholder hereof upon written request to the Company at 00000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Chief Executive Officer.

Subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part (i) by presentation of this Warrant Certificate with the Election to Purchase attached hereto duly executed and with the simultaneous payment of the Exercise Price in cash (subject to adjustment) to the Company for the account of the Company or (ii) by Cashless Exercise. Payment of the Exercise Price in cash shall be made by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company for such purpose. Payment by Cashless Exercise shall be made without the payment of cash by reducing the amount 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 (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant is exercisable as of the Exercise Date (if the Exercise Price were being paid in cash) and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date over the Exercise Price per share as of the Exercise Date and the denominator of which is the Current Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

As provided in the Warrant Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein set forth, the Warrants shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time on any Business Day after the Issue Date; provided, however, that no Warrant shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.

As provided in the Warrant Agreement, the Exercise Rate and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment upon the happening of certain events.

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 the terms of the Warrant Agreement, but not for any exchange or original issuance (not involving a transfer) with respect to temporary Warrant Certificates, the exercise of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares.

Upon any partial exercise of the Warrants, there shall be countersigned and issued to the Warrantholder hereof a new Warrant Certificate representing those Warrants which were not 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. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Value per Warrant Share on the day immediately preceding the date the Warrant is exercised, multiplied by the fraction of a Warrant Share that would be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant.

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 Warrantholder in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered 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.

The Warrants do not entitle any Warrantholder hereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.

(Signature page follows)

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been countersigned by the Company.
