P.M., Eastern Standard Time, on the Expiration Date. The rights represented by
this Warrant may be exercised by the Purchaser, in whole or from time to time in

share) by (i) delivery of a written notice of such Purchaser's election to
exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares

the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all
times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant.
SECTION 4. Adjustments to the Warrant Shares.
(a) Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. In case the Company
shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares or issue a stock dividend or make a distribution with
respect to outstanding shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities payable
in Common Stock or in Convertible Securities which are convertible with no
additional consideration into shares of Common Stock, then, upon exercise of
this Warrant, for each Warrant Share acquired, Purchaser shall receive, without
additional cost to Purchaser, the total number and kind of securities to which
the Purchaser would have been entitled if it had held the Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such subdivision, dividend or
distribution.
(b) Reorganization, Reclassification, Exchange or
Substitution. In case of any capital reorganization, or of any reclassification
of the capital stock, of the Company (other than a change in par value or from
par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a
split-up or combination) this Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization
or reclassification of capital stock, entitle the Purchaser to purchase the kind
and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or
of the corporation resulting from such consolidation, to which the Purchaser
would have been entitled if it had held the Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise hereof immediately prior to such capital reorganization,
reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger or sale, and in any
such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and
interests of the Purchaser of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof
(including without limitation provisions for adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price and of the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant)
shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of
stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the
rights represented hereby.
-3-
(c) Combinations, Etc. In case the Company shall at any
time combine or consolidate, by reclassification or otherwise, the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately
increased.
(d) Merger or Consolidation. If at any time there shall
be a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation
when the Company is not the surviving corporation, then, as part of such merger
or consolidation, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of the
Warrant evidenced hereby shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise
of rights herein granted, during the period specified herein and upon payment of
the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price, the number of shares of stock or other
securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such merger
or consolidation, to which a holder of the stock deliverable upon exercise of
the rights granted in this Warrant would have been entitled in such merger or
consolidation if such rights had been exercised immediately before such merger
or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
application of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement with respect to the
rights and interests of the holder after the merger or consolidation.
SECTION 5. Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the
Warrant Exercise Price and/or the number of shares which may be subscribed for
and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall give notice
thereof to the Purchaser, which notice shall state the Warrant Exercise Price in
effect after such adjustment and the increase, or decrease, if any, in the
number of shares purchasable at the Warrant Exercise Price upon the exercise of
this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and
the facts upon which such calculation is based.
SECTION 6. Computation of Adjustments. Upon each computation
of an adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares which
may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant
Exercise Price shall be computed to the nearest cent (i.e., fractions of .5 of a
cent, or greater, shall be rounded to the next highest cent) and the shares
which may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
calculated to the nearest whole share (i.e., fractions of one half of a share,
or greater, shall be treated as being a whole share). No such adjustment shall
be made, however, if the change in the Warrant Exercise Price would be less than
$.01 per share, but any such lesser adjustment shall be made at the time of, and
together with, the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments carried forward, shall amount to a change in the Warrant Exercise
Price of $.01 per share or more.
SECTION 7. Net Issue Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions
herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of Common Stock is
greater than the Warrant Exercise Price (at the date of exercise of the Warrant
as set forth below), in lieu of exercising the Warrant by payment of cash, the
Purchaser may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below)
of the Warrant (or portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of the Warrant
at the principal office of the Company together with the duly executed Notice of
Exercise in which event the Company
-4-
shall issue to the Purchaser a number of shares of the Common Stock computed
using the following formula:
X = Y(A - B)
--------
A
WHERE X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
the Purchaser;
Y = the number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable under
the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
exercised, the number of shares underlying the Warrant to the
extent exercised (at the date of such exercise);
A = the fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the
date of such calculation); and
B = Warrant Exercise Price (at the date of such calculation).
For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Common
Stock shall be equal to the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the day
immediately prior to the date the Notice of Exercise is tendered to the Company.
If the Common Stock is not traded on NASDAQ or other national stock exchange,
the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be determined by the
Board of Directors in good faith.
SECTION 8. Notice of Certain Events. In case at any time:
(a) the Company shall pay any dividend upon, or make any
distribution in respect of, its Common Stock;
(b) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other
rights;
(c) there shall be any capital reorganization, or
reclassification of the capital stock, of the Company; or
(d) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more said cases, the Company shall give notice to the
Purchaser of the date on which (i) the books of the Company shall close or a
record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or
(ii) such reorganization, reclassification, involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up shall take place, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given
not less than ten (10) days prior to the record date or the date on which the
transfer books of the
-5-
Company are to be closed in respect thereto in the case of an action specified
in clause (i) and at least thirty (30) days prior to the action in question in
the case of an action specified in clause (ii).
SECTION 9. Taxes. The Purchaser shall pay any tax or taxes
attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares, and the Company
shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes levied or assessed with respect to
any transfer of any Warrant Shares.
SECTION 10. Warrant Purchaser Not Deemed a Shareholder. The
Purchaser shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed a
shareholder of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this
Warrant be construed to confer upon the Purchaser any of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether any reorganization, issuance of stock,
reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise),
receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or
otherwise, prior to the issuance of record to the Purchaser of the Warrant
Shares which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this
Warrant.
SECTION 11. No Limitation on Corporate Action. No provisions
of this Warrant and no right or option granted or conferred hereunder shall in
any way limit, affect or abridge the exercise by the Company of any of its
corporate rights or powers to recapitalize, amend its Articles of Incorporation,
reorganize, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation, or transfer
all or any part of its property or assets, or the exercise of any other of its
corporate rights and powers.
SECTION 12. Accredited Investor; Restrictive Legends.
(a) The issuance of this Warrant is conditioned upon, and by
its acceptance hereof Purchaser hereby confirms, represents and warrants that,
this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon
exercise hereof are being acquired for the account of Purchaser for investment
and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof
(or any portion thereof) and with no present intention of offering and
distributing such securities or any portion thereof, except under circumstances
that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, Purchaser shall confirm in
writing, in a letter in the form of Exhibit A hereto, that the Warrant Shares so
purchased are being acquired solely for the account of Purchaser for investment
and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof
(or portion thereof) and with no present intention of offering and distributing
such securities or any portion thereof, except under circumstances that will not
result in a violation of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities
laws. Purchaser agrees that it will comply with all applicable provisions of
state and federal securities laws. Purchaser acknowledges to the Company that
the Warrant Shares will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and
federal securities laws. Purchaser also confirms, represents and warrants to the
Company that it is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation
D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Re: Exercise of Warrant
Pursuant to the provisions of that certain Warrant to Purchase Common
Stock (the "Warrant") of CTI, INC., a Tennessee corporation (the "Company"),
dated March __, 2002, JORDAN & XXXXX PARTNERS, LLC, a Georgia limited liability
company ("JDP"), hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with the
Company as follows:
The shares of common stock of the Company being acquired by
JDP pursuant to this exercise of the Warrant (the "Warrant Shares")
will be acquired for its own account without the participation of any
other person, with the intent of holding the Warrant Shares for
investment and without the intent of participating, directly or
indirectly, in a distribution of the Warrant Shares and not with a view
to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Warrant
Shares, nor is JDP aware of the existence of any distribution of the
Warrant Shares;
JDP is not acquiring the Warrant Shares based upon any
representation, oral or written, by any person with respect to the
future value of, or income from, the Warrant Shares but rather upon an
independent examination and judgment as to the prospects of the
Company;
The Warrant Shares were not offered to JDP by means of
publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature;
JDP is able to bear the economic risks of the investment in
the Warrant Shares, including the risk of a complete loss of JDP's
investment therein;
JDP understands and agrees that the Warrant Shares will be
issued and sold to JDP in reliance upon an exemption from, and without
registration under, any state law relating to the registration of
securities for sale, and will be issued and sold in reliance on the
exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act"), provided by Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) thereof,
Regulation D thereunder, and the other rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder;
The Warrant Shares cannot be offered for sale, sold or
transferred by JDP other than pursuant to: (i) either (A) an effective
registration under the Securities Act, (B) an opinion of counsel for
JDP satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required,
or (C) receipt of a no-action letter from the Securities and Exchange
Commission to the effect that such registration is not required, and
(ii) evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with the
applicable securities laws of other jurisdictions. The Company shall be
entitled to rely upon an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it with
respect to compliance with the above laws;
The Company will be under no obligation to register the
Warrant Shares or to comply with any exemption available for sale of
the Warrant Shares without registration or filing, and the information
or conditions necessary to permit routine sales of securities of the
Company under Rule 144 of the Securities Act are not now available and
no assurance has been given that it or they will become available. The
Company is under no obligation to act in any manner so as to make Rule
144 available with respect to the Warrant Shares;
JDP is familiar with the business and affairs of the Company.
JDP realizes that the purchase of the Warrant Shares is a speculative
investment and that any possible profit therefrom is uncertain;
JDP has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive
answers from the Company and any person acting on its behalf and to
obtain all material information reasonably available with respect to
the Company and its affairs. JDP has received all information and data
with respect to the Company which it has requested and which it has
deemed relevant in connection with the evaluation of the merits and
risks of its investment in the Company;
JDP has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of the purchase of the Warrant Shares hereunder, and it is able to bear
the economic risk of such purchase; and
The agreements, representations, warranties, and covenants
made by JDP herein extend to and apply to all of the Warrant Shares.
Acceptance by JDP of the certificate representing such Warrant Shares
shall constitute a confirmation by JDP that all such agreements,
representations, warranties and covenants made herein are true and
correct at that time.
JDP understands that the certificates representing the Warrant
Shares shall bear a legend referring to the foregoing covenants,
representations, warranties and restrictions on transfer, and agrees
that a legend to that effect may be placed on any certificate which may
be issued to JDP as a substitute for the certificates representing the
Warrant Shares.
