requiring such determination or (b) in the absence of such an agreement, an

merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise. As used in this
Warrant, the phrase “Warrant Shares then held” by any Holder or Holders shall
mean Warrant Shares held at the time of determination by such Holder or Holders,
and shall include Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants held at the
time of determination by such Holder or Holders.
1.2 Interpretation. Unless
the context of this Warrant clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural
include the singular, to the singular include the plural, and to the part
include the whole. The term “including” is not limiting and the term
“or” has the inclusive meaning represented by the term “and/or.” The
words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Warrant refer
to this Warrant as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Warrant.
References to “Articles”, “Sections,” “Subsections,” “Exhibits,” and “Schedules”

SECTION
2. FORM; EXCHANGE FOR WARRANTS;
TRANSFER; TAXES
2.1 Warrant
Register. Each Warrant issued, exchanged or transferred shall
be registered in a warrant register (the “Warrant
Register”). The Warrant Register shall set forth the number of
each Warrant, the name and address of the holder thereof (a “Holder”), and the
original number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
thereof. The Warrant Register will be maintained by Coachmen and will
be available for inspection by any Holder at the principal office of Coachmen or
such other location as Coachmen may designate to the Holders in the manner set
forth in Section 5.2 hereof. Coachmen shall be entitled to treat the
Holder of any Warrant as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall
not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
Warrant on the part of any other person.
2.2 Exchange of
Warrants.
(a) A
Holder may exchange a Warrant for another Warrant or Warrants of like kind and
tenor representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of
Warrant Shares that could be purchased pursuant to the Warrant being so
exchanged. In order to effect an exchange permitted by this Section
2.2, the Holder shall deliver to Coachmen such Warrant accompanied by an
Exchange Form in the form attached hereto as Annex 3 signed by the
Holder thereof specifying the number and denominations of Warrants to be issued
in such exchange and the names in which such Warrants are to be
issued. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such a request,
Coachmen shall issue, register and deliver to the Holder thereof each Warrant to
be issued in such exchange.
(b) Upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Coachmen (an affidavit of the
Holder being satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Coachmen
(an agreement by the Holder being satisfactory) or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant, Coachmen shall (at its expense)
execute and deliver in lieu of such Warrant a new Warrant of like kind and tenor
representing the same rights represented by and dated the date of such lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant. Any such new Warrant shall
constitute an original contractual obligation of Coachmen, whether or not the
allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time
enforceable by any Person.
(c) Coachmen
shall pay all Taxes (other than any applicable income or similar Taxes payable
by a Holder of a Warrant) attributable to an exchange of a Warrant pursuant to
this Section 2.2; provided, however, that
Coachmen shall not be required to pay any Tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance of any Warrant in a name other than that
of the Holder of the Warrant being exchanged.
2.3 Transfer of
Warrant.
(a) Subject
to Section 2.3(c) hereof, each Warrant and the rights thereunder may be
transferred by the Holder thereof by delivering to Coachmen such Warrant
accompanied by a properly completed Assignment Form in the form of Annex
2. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such Assignment
Form Coachmen shall issue, register and deliver to the Holder, subject to
Section 2.3(c) hereof, a new Warrant or Warrants of like kind and tenor
representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Warrant
Shares that could be purchased pursuant to the Warrant being
transferred. If a Warrant is to be transferred on behalf of a Holder
by an attorney, the original power of attorney, duly approved, or a copy
thereof, duly certified, shall be deposited and remain with
Coachmen. In the case of any transfer by executors, administrators,
guardians or other legal representatives, duly authenticated evidence of their
authority shall be produced and may be required to be deposited and remain with
Coachmen in its discretion.
(b) Each
Warrant issued in accordance with this Section 2.3 shall bear the restrictive
legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, unless the Holder or transferee
thereof supplies to Coachmen an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to
Coachmen, that the restrictions described in such legend are no longer
applicable to such Warrant.
(c) The
transfer of Warrants and Warrant Shares shall be permitted, so long as such
transfer is pursuant to a transaction that complies with, or is exempt from, the
provisions of the Securities Act, and Coachmen may require an opinion of counsel
(which may be internal counsel to a Holder) in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to it to such effect prior to effecting any transfer of Warrants or
Warrant Shares.
SECTION
3. EXERCISE OF WARRANT;
EXCHANGE FOR WARRANT SHARES.
3.1 Exercise of
Warrants. On any Business Day prior to the Expiration Date, a
Holder may exercise a Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to Coachmen
such Warrant accompanied by a properly completed Exercise Form in the form of
Annex 1 and a
check in an aggregate amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a)
the Exercise Price by (b) the number of Warrant Shares being purchased (the
“Aggregate Exercise
Price”); provided, however, in the event
any Holder exercises a Warrant in connection with or immediately prior to a sale
by such Holder of Warrant Shares, in lieu of paying the aggregate Exercise Price
therefor, such Holder may elect to effect a cashless exercise of the Warrant by
receiving that number of Warrant Shares which is equal to the number of shares
for which the Warrant is being exercised less the number of shares having an
aggregate Market Price equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price. For
purposes of this Section 3.1, the Market Price referred to in the previous
sentence shall be the actual per share price at which such Holder sold such
Warrant Shares; provided that the sale was not to an affiliate and was otherwise
arms-length. Any partial exercise of a Warrant shall be for a whole
number of Warrant Shares only.
3.2 Issuance of Common
Stock.
(a) Within
ten (10) Business Days following the delivery date (the “Delivery Date”) of
(i) an Exercise Form in accordance with Section 3.1(a), (ii) a Warrant and (iii)
any required payments of the Aggregate Exercise Price, Coachmen shall issue and
deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates, registered in the name or
names set forth on such notice, representing the Warrant Shares being purchased
or to be received upon such exercise.
(b) If
a Holder shall exercise or exchange a Warrant for less than all of the Warrant
Shares that could be purchased or received thereunder, Coachmen shall issue to
the Holder, within ten (10) Business Days of the Delivery Date, a new Warrant of
like kind and tenor to such Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the
remaining Warrant Shares. Each Warrant surrendered pursuant to
Section 3.1(a) shall be canceled.
(c) Coachmen
shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise or exchange of a Warrant. If any fraction of a share of
Common Stock would be issuable on the exercise or exchange of any Warrant,
Coachmen may, in lieu of issuing such fractional share, pay to such Holder for
any such fraction of a share an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by
multiplying (i) such fraction by (ii) the Market Price in effect on the Delivery
Date.
(d) Coachmen
shall pay all Taxes (other than any applicable income Taxes payable by a Holder
of a Warrant) attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the
exercise or exchange of a Warrant; provided, however, that
Coachmen shall not be required to pay any Tax that might be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance of a Warrant or certificate for Warrant
Shares in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant being exercised or
exchanged.
(e) If
permitted by Applicable Law, the person in whose name any certificate for shares
of Common Stock is issued upon exercise or exchange of a Warrant shall for all
purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the
Delivery Date, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except
that, if the Delivery Date is a date when the stock transfer books of Coachmen
are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of
such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the
stock transfer books are open.
(f) Coachmen
shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out
of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of enabling it to
satisfy any obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant,
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the (i) exercise
of all outstanding Warrants and Existing Warrants and (ii) conversion of all
outstanding Tranche B Notes. Upon the exercise of any Warrant,
Coachmen shall issue shares of Common Stock that will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all Taxes, liens,
charges and security interests.
3.3 Adjustment to Exercise Price
and Number of Warrant Shares. The number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time in accordance with this Section 3.3.
(a) Adjustment upon Issuance of
Common Stock. Except as provided for in Section 3.3(b) hereof,
if Coachmen at any time or from time to time issues any additional Common Stock
(including without limitation an issuance of any options, warrants or similar
rights to purchase Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock), and such additional Common Stock causes more than 16,403,409
shares of Common Stock to be outstanding on a Fully-Diluted Basis, then, and
thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the number of Warrant Shares
that may be obtained by Holders upon exercise of their Warrants shall forthwith
be increased to allow the Holders to receive the same percentage of the total
Common Stock outstanding on a Fully-Diluted Basis after the issuance of such
additional Common Stock as they would have been able to receive upon exercise of
the Warrants immediately prior to the issuance of such additional Common
Stock.
(b) Subdivisions or Combinations
of Common Stock. If, at any time after the date hereof, (i)
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is increased by a dividend or
other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or
split-up of shares of Common Stock or (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding is decreased by a combination or reverse stock split of shares of
Common Stock, then, in each case, effective as of the effective date of such
event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such event, (A) the Exercise
Price shall be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying (1) the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such event by (2) a fraction, the (x)
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the (y) denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such event,
and (B) the number of Warrant Shares subject to purchase upon the exercise of
any Warrant shall be adjusted effective at such time, to a number determined by
multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares subject to purchase upon the
exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such event by (2) a fraction, the
(x) numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
after giving effect to such event and the (y) denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
event.
(c) Capital Reorganization or
Capital Reclassifications. If, at any time after the date
hereof, there shall be any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the
capital stock of Coachmen (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 stock
dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), then in each case
Coachmen shall cause effective provision to be made so that each Warrant shall,
effective as of the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date,
if any, of such event, be exercisable or exchangeable for the kind and number of
shares of stock, other securities, cash or other property to which a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise or exchange of
such Warrant would have been entitled upon such reorganization or
reclassification and any such provision shall include adjustments in respect of
such stock, securities or other property that shall be as nearly equivalent as
may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant with respect
to such Warrant.
(d) Consolidations and
Mergers. If, at any time after the date hereof, Coachmen shall
consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell all or substantially all of its
assets or property to another Person, then Coachmen shall cause effective
provision to be made so that each Warrant shall, effective as of the effective
date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such event, be
exercisable or exchangeable for the kind and number of shares of stock, other
securities, cash or other property to which a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon exercise or exchange of such Warrant would have
been entitled upon such event.
(e) Notice; Calculations;
Etc. Whenever the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant
Shares shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 3.3, Coachmen shall provide
to each Holder a statement, signed by an Executive Officer, describing in detail
the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth a calculation of the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares applicable to each Warrant after
giving effect to such adjustment. All calculations under this Section
3.3 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth of a cent or to the nearest
one-tenth of a share, as the case may be.
(f) Certain
Adjustments.
(i) Coachmen
may make such reductions in the Exercise Price or increase in the number of
Warrant Shares to be received by any Holder upon the exercise or exchange of a
Warrant, in addition to those adjustments required by this Section 3.3, as it
deems advisable in order for any of the following not to result in the
imposition of Taxes: (A) any consolidation or subdivision of the
Common Stock, (B) any issuance wholly for cash of any shares of Common Stock,
(C) any issuance wholly for cash of shares of Common Stock or securities that by
their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, (D)
any stock dividend or (E) any issuance of rights, options or warrants
hereinafter made by Coachmen to the holders of its Common Stock.
(ii) In
the event that Coachmen in any manner issues or grants options or convertible
securities, or any other transaction, circumstances or events occur that give
rise to anti-dilution adjustments under Other Anti-Dilution Instruments, then
Coachmen shall promptly make proportional, equitable and corresponding
adjustments in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants to protect the Holders against dilution as a result of such
events.
(g) Excluded
Transactions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Warrant, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 3.3 in respect of
Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the Warrants.
(h) Adjustment
Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be
made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur, except that,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3, no adjustment shall be
made to the number of shares of Common Stock or to the Exercise Price if such
adjustment represents less than 1% of the number of shares previously required
to be so delivered, but any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall
be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which
together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to 1% or more of
the number of shares to be so delivered.
SECTION
4. CERTAIN OTHER
RIGHTS
4.1 Payments in Respect of
Dividends and Distributions. If, at any time prior to the
earlier of the Expiration Date, Coachmen pays any dividend or makes any
distribution (whether in cash, property or securities of Coachmen) on its
capital stock that does not result in an adjustment under Section 3 hereof, then
Coachmen shall simultaneously pay to the Holder of each Warrant, the dividend or
distribution that would have been paid to such Holder on the Warrant Shares
receivable upon the exercise in full of such Warrant had such Warrant been fully
exercised immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution
or, if no record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common
Stock entitled to such dividend or distribution are to be
determined.
4.2 Fiduciary Duties of
Coachmen. Coachmen and its directors shall owe the holders of
the Warrants the same fiduciary duties that Coachmen and its directors would owe
to the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants.
SECTION
5. MISCELLANEOUS.
5.1 Relation to Other
Agreements. Coachmen hereby acknowledges and agrees that
Warrant Shares will be entitled to those registration rights set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 27, 2009, by and between the Lender

elsewhere herein, other rights of a stockholder of Coachmen. No
provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by a Holder to purchase
Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of a
Holder shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price of
Warrant Shares acquirable by exercise hereof or as a stockholder of
Coachmen.
5.4 Amendments and
Waivers. Any provision of this Warrant or the Warrants issued

similarly amended to reflect such amendment or modification.
5.5 Severability. Any
provision of this Warrant that is prohibited or unenforceable in any

such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Performance. Each Holder shall have the right to specific
performance by Coachmen of the provisions of this Warrant, in addition to any
other remedies it may have at law or in equity. Coachmen hereby

to the remedy of specific performance in any action brought against Coachmen for
specific performance of this Warrant by the Holders of the Warrants or Warrant
Shares.

Effect. This Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Coachmen, each Holder and their respective successors and
assigns.

effective when counterparts hereof executed on behalf of Coachmen and the
initial Holder shall have been received.

among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
