                              SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT

     This Shareholder Agreement is made this 4th day of May, 2001 between Ronald
V. Aprahamian ("Aprahamian") and Superior Consultant Holdings Corporation
("Holdings").

                                    RECITALS

     A. Aprahamian, Holdings and Robert R. Tashiro ("Tashiro") are parties to an
Agreement to Purchase Shares and an Assignment, Assumption and Release Agreement
of even date herewith. Pursuant to those agreements, Aprahamian has agreed to
purchase 144,610 shares of Holdings common stock held by Tashiro (the "Shares")
and to assume the liability of Tashiro under a promissory note (the "Tashiro
Note") given by him to Holdings in connection with Tashiro's acquisition of such
shares. Aprahamian has further agreed to deliver to Holdings an Amended and
Restated Promissory Note in the principal amount of $203,906.70 (the "Aprahamian
Note") in replacement of the Tashiro Note, and in consideration thereof Holdings
has agreed to cancel the Tashiro Note.

     B. Aprahamian and Holdings wish to establish the provisions contained in
this Agreement regarding the Shares and the Aprahamian Note.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Aprahamian acknowledges that the Shares were acquired by Tashiro without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities law.
Aprahamian further acknowledges that as Chairman of the Board of Directors, he
may not be able to freely trade the Shares. Aprahamian agrees that he will not
transfer the Shares or any portion thereof unless the Shares have been
registered under all such applicable laws or the transfer complies with
available registration exemptions thereunder, and that Holdings and its transfer
agent may refuse to permit any transfer of the Shares made without registration
unless there is delivered to them an opinion of counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to Holdings and its counsel, to the effect that the transfer may be
effected without registration under all such applicable acts.

     2. In the event that either of the following events occurs, the outstanding
principal amount of the Aprahamian Note and accrued and unpaid interest thereon
may be accelerated, at the option of Holdings by delivery of written notice to
Aprahamian's address as shown on the books and records of Holdings, to become
immediately due and payable as of the Acceleration Date specified below:

        (a) Aprahamian resigns as a member of the Board of Directors of
     Holdings, in which case the Acceleration Date will be the effective date of
     the resignation, or declines or refuses to stand for re-election to the
     Board of Directors of Holdings, in which case the Acceleration Date will be
     the date Aprahamian's term as director ceases.

        (b) There occurs a Change of Control (as defined below) with respect
     to Holdings, as a result of which Aprahamian becomes entitled to receive
     cash and/or Marketable Securities (as defined below) with an aggregate
     value, measured as of the date on which Aprahamian first becomes entitled
     to receive such cash and/or Marketable Securities, that is

     not less than the remaining principal balance of the Aprahamian Note
     outstanding on such date.

        (i)  For purposes of this Agreement, "Marketable Securities" means
     securities which are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange,
     American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market, and which Aprahamian may
     sell (i) without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933or (ii) within
     any three month period in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 and/or
     Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

        (ii) For purposes of this Agreement, "Change in Control" means (i) the
     acquisition by any person (including a group within the meaning of Section
     13(d)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of the ability to elect
     a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of Holdings, (ii) the
     merger of Holdings with any entity if Holdings is not the surviving
     corporation of such merger, (iii) the consummation of any tender offer
     which results in sale of securities of Holdings possessing the right to
     elect a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of Holdings or
     (iv) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdings in a
     single transaction or series of transactions, and the distribution to
     Holdings' shareholders (in liquidation or otherwise) of some or all of the
     proceeds of the sale. The Acceleration Date with respect to any Change of
     Control will be the effective date of the Change of Control.

     3. In the event of acceleration of the Aprahamian Note pursuant to Section
2, Aprahamian will pay amounts owing in accordance with the terms of the
Aprahamian Note and Holdings will have the rights provided therein.

     4. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, which,
when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

     5. This Agreement shall be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of
the parties hereto determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State
of Michigan, without reference to choice of law provisions which would require
the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date
first above written.

                      AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
                      ------------------------------------

$203,906.70                                              As of  January 1, 2001
                                                           Executed May 4, 2001
                                                           Southfield, Michigan

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED the undersigned (the "Maker") promises to pay to the
order of SUPERIOR CONSULTANT COMPANY, INC., a Michigan corporation ("Payee"),
the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED THREE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED SIX AND 70/100
($203,906.70) Dollars in lawful money of the United States until paid in full.
Equal annual payments of principal and interest in the amount of Twenty-Five
Thousand ($25,000) Dollars shall be paid beginning December 31, 2001 and on
December 31 of each year thereafter until paid in full. The entire principal
balance shall be due December 31, 2015.

     Interest shall be charged from January 1, 2001 at Seven and Seventy-One One
Hundredths (7.71%) percent unless and until Maker defaults hereunder; during any
period of default, interest shall accrue at ten (10%) percent per annum.

     The entire unpaid principal balance shall be due and payable, at the option
of Payee, at the Acceleration Date, plus any amount of accrued and unpaid
interest computed to the Acceleration Date. Any principal balance unpaid at the
Acceleration Date shall accrue interest at ten (10%) percent per annum
thereafter until paid.

     This Amended and Restated Promissory Note ("Note") is delivered pursuant to
the Assignment, Assumption and Release Agreement among Maker, Payee and Robert
R. Tashiro ("Tashiro") dated May 4, 2001, and is given to replace that certain
promissory note of Tashiro to Payee dated as of January 1, 1996 in the original
principal amount of $238,466.00, liability for which was assumed by Maker under
the Assignment, Assumption and Release Agreement. Capitalized terms in this Note
shall, unless defined or modified herein, have the same meaning as defined in
the Shareholder Agreement between Maker and Payee dated May 4, 2001 (the
"Shareholder Agreement").

     All payments hereunder shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid
interest and the remainder to the reduction of the principal balance
outstanding. Maker may prepay this Note, in whole or in part, at any time
without penalty provided any prepayment shall be applied first to the last
payment due and owing. No partial prepayment shall terminate, reduce or
otherwise affect Maker's obligations to continue to make the payments
contemplated in this Note until this Note is paid in full.

     Each maker, surety, guarantor and endorser, hereby waives grace, notice,
protest, demand, presentment for payment, and diligence in the collection of
this Note, and in filing suit hereon, and agrees that their liability for the
payment hereof shall not be affected or impaired by any release or change in the
security, or by any extension of the time for any payment.

<PAGE>

     Should a default be made in the payment of any installment of principal and
interest as previously provided then the full unpaid principal of this
obligation plus unpaid interest accrued to the date of the default shall, in the
discretion of Payee, become immediately due and payable, and may be collected
forthwith regardless of the stipulated date of maturity, time being of the
essence.

     In the event a default occurs in the performance of any of the covenants or
conditions contained in the Shareholder Agreement, Payee shall also have the
right to declare the entire unpaid principal amount and unpaid interest
(computed to the date of such default) of this Note immediately due and payable.

     Further, all costs and reasonable attorney fees incurred by Payee hereof in
collecting or enforcing payment shall be paid upon demand by the Maker. Any
failure of Payee to exercise such option to accelerate shall not constitute
waiver of the right to exercise such option to accelerate at any future time.

     The undersigned hereby waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of
dishonor, protest and notice of protest, and diligence in collection or bringing
suit. The holder hereof may extend the time for payment or accept partial
payment without discharging or releasing the undersigned.

     It is the intention of Maker and Payee to conform in good faith with all
applicable usury laws. In furtherance thereof, Maker and Payee, for themselves
and their successors and assigns, stipulate and agree that the terms and
provisions contained herein or in any other instrument evidencing the
indebtedness described herein or securing such debt shall never be construed to
create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring
payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum permitted under
applicable law. Maker shall never be liable for unearned interest and shall
never be required to pay interest on the Note in excess of the maximum permitted
by applicable law. In the event the holder hereof shall collect monies which are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute interest in excess
of the maximum lawful rate, the collection of such excess shall be deemed to be
a mistake and said excess shall at once be refunded to Maker or credited upon
the principal then outstanding.

     The Maker of this Note acknowledges that this Note is made and delivered in
the State of Michigan and does consent to the jurisdiction over it of the Courts
of the State of Michigan in connection with all proceedings to enforce the Note.

                                     MAKER:
