Investor by surrender of this Warrant, with the form of subscription attached as
Exhibit A hereto (the "Subscription Form") duly executed by the Investor, to the
Company at its principal office or at the office of its Warrant Agent, if any
(as provided in Section 13), accompanied by payment, in cash or by certified or
official bank check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount obtained
by multiplying the number of Shares for which this Warrant is then exercisable
by the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) then in effect. If such
exercise(s) occur prior to the Expiration Date hereof, the Company will issue a
new Warrant or
3
Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Investor or as the Investor (upon
payment by the Investor of any applicable transfer taxes) may request.
1.2 Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the
exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Investor, acknowledge in
writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Investor any rights to which
the Investor shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance
with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Investor shall fail to make any such
request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company
to afford to the Investor any such rights.
1.3 Trustee for the Investor. In the event that a bank or trust
company shall have been appointed as trustee for the Investor pursuant to
Subsection 4.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers and duties

thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such successor, as the
case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.
2. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ETC. ON EXERCISE. The Company agrees
that the Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be
issued to the Investor (or its Transferee pursuant to Section 10 hereof) as the
record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which
this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Shares as
aforesaid.
As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part,
and in any event within 10 days thereafter, the Company at its expense
(including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be
issued in the name of and delivered to the Investor, or as the Investor (upon
payment by the Investor of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a
certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable Shares (or Other Securities) to which the Investor shall
be entitled on such exercise, together with any other stock or other securities
and property (including cash, where applicable) to which the Investor is
entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
3. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
3.1 The Purchase Price hereof shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows: In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on its
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii)
combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a small number of shares,
then, in such an event, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior thereto
shall be adjusted proportionately so that the adjusted Purchase Price will bear
the same relation to the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to any such
event as the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to any such event shall bear to the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this
Subsection 3.1, (i) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the
record date in the case of a dividend and (ii) shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or
combination. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same
manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein.
3.2 Notwithstanding anything in Subsection 3.1, in no event will
the Purchase Price exceed one ($1.00) dollar per Share.
3.3 Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to
Subsection 3.1, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock,
calculated to the nearest one hundredth of a share, obtained by multiplying the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such
adjustment upon the exercise of this Warrant by the Purchase Price in effect
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the new
Purchase Price.
4
3.4 In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of
any reclassification of the Common Stock, this Warrant shall be exercisable
after such capital reorganization or reclassification upon the terms and
conditions specified in this Warrant, for the number of shares of stock or other
securities which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such capital
reorganization or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate
would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization or
reclassification if such exercise had taken place immediately prior to such
action. The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock shall not
be deemed to be a reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company for the
purposes of this Subsection 3.4.
3.5 Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted as herein provided,
the Company shall compute the adjusted Purchase Price in accordance with
Subsection 3.1 and shall prepare a certificate signed by its Chairman of the
Board, Vice Chairman of the Board, President or Vice President and its principal
accounting officer setting forth the adjusted Purchase Price and showing in
reasonable detail the method of such adjustment and the fact requiring the
adjustment and upon which such calculation is based, and such certificate shall
forthwith be forwarded to the Investor.
3.6 In case at any time after the date of this Warrant:
(a) The Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution) on its shares of Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out
of its earned surplus; or
(b) The Company shall authorize the granting to the
holders of its shares of Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or
(c) The Company shall authorize any reclassification of
the shares of its Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to which it
is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is
required, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets or
all or substantially all of its issued and outstanding stock; or
(d) Events shall have occurred resulting in the voluntary
and involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then the Company shall cause notice to be sent to the Investor at least 20 days
prior (or 10 days prior in any case specified in clause (a) or (b) above, or on
the date of any case specified in clause (d) above) to the applicable record
date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (1) the date on which a record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, 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 or rights are to
be determined or (2) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer, initial public offering, 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 for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up. Failure to give any such notice of any defect therein
shall not affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (a),
(b), (c) and (d) above.

consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan
or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such
case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and
adequate provisions shall be made by the Company
5
whereby the Investor, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any
time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or
the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in
lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior
to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and
property (including cash) to which the investor would have been entitled upon
such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, the case may be, if
the Investor had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto.
4.2 Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company
following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets,
the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to
be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the Investor after the effective date of such
dissolution pursuant to this Section 4 to a bank or trust company having its
principal office in Detroit, Michigan, as trustee for the Investor.
4.3 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation,
merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in
this Section 4, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the
terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of
such reorganization, consolidation or merger on the effective date of
dissolution following any such transfer as the case may be, and shall be binding
upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of
any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 10.
5. ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any
adjustment or readjustment in the Shares issuable on the exercise of this
Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause independent certified
public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Company (and not
objected to by the holder of this Warrant) 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
in effect and number and type of Shares for which this Warrant was exercisable
immediately prior to such issue or sale and as each is adjusted and readjusted
on account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such
certificate to the Investor, and will, on the written request at any time of the
Investor, furnish to the Investor a like certificate setting forth the Purchase
Price and the number and type of Shares at the time in effect and showing how it
was calculated.
6. NO DILUTION OR 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 investor against
dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any Shares receivable on the
exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (b)

stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of this Warrant as herein

necessary or appropriate in order that all shares of Common Stock that shall be
so issuable shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof,
(c) will not effect a subdivision or split up of shares or similar transaction
with respect to any class of the Common Stock without effecting an equivalent
transaction with respect to all other classes of Common Stock, and (d) will not
issue any capital stock of any class which is preferred as to dividends or as to
the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up, unless the rights of the
6
holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value in
respect of participation in dividends and in any such distribution of assets.
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 of 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 of the Company, or to receive any
other right, or
