Warrant To Purchase Common Stock

	
  
Warrant No.: CCP-002
  	
  
Number   of Shares: 69,444
  

Date of Issuance: March 20, 2006

China Automotive Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Cornell Capital Partners, LP (the “Holder”), the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company upon surrender of this Warrant, at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (as defined herein) sixty nine thousand four hundred forty four (69,444) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined herein) of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) at the exercise price per share provided in Section 1(b) below or as subsequently adjusted; provided, however, that in no event shall the holder be entitled to exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant
Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such exercise, except within sixty (60) days of the Expiration Date (however, such restriction may be waived by Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company).  For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such proviso is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrants beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (including, 

without limitation, any convertible notes or preferred stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written request of any holder, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such notice,
confirm in writing to any such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the exercise of Warrants (as defined below) by such holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (i) by delivery of a written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), of such holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price(s) applicable to the Warrant Shares being purchased, multiplied by the number of Warrant
Shares (at the applicable Warrant Exercise Price) as to which this Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds and the surrender of this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date (“Cash Basis”) or (ii) if at the time of exercise, the Warrant Shares are not subject to an effective resale registration statement (provided that the foregoing shall not apply before June 30, 2006) or if an Event of Default  has occurred and remains uncured, by delivering an Exercise Notice and in lieu of making payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash or wire transfer, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined

B = the Closing Trade   Price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise of the Warrant.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
C = the Warrant Exercise   Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such   exercise.
  

          In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with this Section 2, the Company shall on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) and the receipt of the representations of the holder specified in Section 6 hereof, if requested by the Company (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), and if the Common Stock is DTC eligible, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to the holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company; provided, however, if the holder who submitted the Exercise Notice requested physical delivery of any or all of the Warrant Shares, or, if
the Common Stock is not DTC eligible  then the Company shall, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the holder, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled pursuant to such request.  Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Closing Trade Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the holder the number of Warrant Shares that is not disputed and
shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the holder via facsimile within one (1) Business Day of receipt of the holder’s Exercise Notice.  

                      (b)  If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares within one (1) day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Closing Trade Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its independent, outside accountant.  The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than forty-eight (48) hours from the time it receives the
disputed determinations or calculations.  Such investment banking firm’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error.

                      (c)  Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant is exercised. 

5

                      (d)  No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon any pro rata exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

                       (e)  If the Company or its Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the holder within ten (10) days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled or to credit the holder’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company for such number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled upon the holder’s exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant or the Placement Agent Agreement or otherwise available to such holder, pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the issuance of such certificate for Warrant Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 0.025% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Warrant Shares not
issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which the holder is entitled, and (B) the Closing Trade Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Common Stock to the holder without violating this Section 2.

                      (f)  If within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to the holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof, then, in addition to any other available remedies under this Warrant, or otherwise available to such holder, the Company shall pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day after such tenth (10th) day that such delivery of such new Warrant is not timely effected in an amount equal to 0.25% of the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares represented by the portion of this Warrant which is not being exercised and (B) the Closing Trade Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company
could have issued such Warrant to the holder without violating this Section 2.

          Section 3.     Covenants as to Common Stock.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

                      (a)  This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly issued.

                      (b)  All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

                      (c)  During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price.  If at any time the Company does not 

6

have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within sixty (60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

                      (d)  If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall file a registration statement, the Company shall include the Warrant Shares issuable to the holder, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system.

                      (e)  In the event that the Company amends its Certificate of Incorporation or consummates a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, it will make appropriate provision with respect to the Holder’s rights and interests under this Warrant and will take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate so that the terms of any such amendment to its Certificate  of Incorporation or consummation of  reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive validly and legally issued fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, cash and/or property set forth
hereunder upon the exercise of this Warrant following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.  

                      (f)  This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

          Section 4.     Taxes.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

          Section 5.     Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue 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 to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.  In addition,
nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.  Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

7

          Section 6.     Representations of Holder.  The holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act (and, in the case of registered resales, with proper delivery of a prospectus); provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act (and, in the case of
registered resales, with proper delivery of a prospectus).  The holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”).  Upon exercise of this Warrant  the holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale and that such holder is an Accredited Investor.  If such holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations
as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.

          Section 7.     Ownership and Transfer.

                      (a)  The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee.  The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

          Section 8.     Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares.  The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

                      (a)  Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of Common Stock.  If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date of this Warrant but before the earlier to occur of: (1) the date the Holder has sold (on a cumulative basis) at least five hundred thousand (500,000) of the shares purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement or (2) the date which is nine (9) months after the effectiveness of the registration statement filed pursuant to the Investor Registration Rights Agreement, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, at least thirty thousand (30,000) (on a cumulative basis) shares of Common Stock 

8

each for less than Seven Dollars and Fifty Cents ($7.50) per share,  (other than (i) Excluded Securities, (ii) shares of Common Stock which are issued or deemed to have been issued by the Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan, or (iii) the Other Securities) for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to such consideration per share plus Six Dollars ($6.00) per share.  

                      (b)  Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a) above, the following shall be applicable:

                              (i)     Issuance of Options.  If after the date hereof, the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of any convertible securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section 8(b)(i), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities
shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option or upon conversion or exchange of any convertible security issuable upon exercise of such Option.  No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such convertible securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities.

                              (ii)     Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If the Company in any manner issues or sells any convertible securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such convertible securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with
respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the convertible security and upon conversion or exchange of such convertible security.  No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities, and if any such issue or sale of such convertible securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale. 

9

                              (iii)     Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.  If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any convertible securities, or the rate at which any convertible securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or convertible securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly readjusted.  For purposes of this Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or convertible security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date of this Warrant are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or convertible security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change.  No adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.

                      (c)  Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Sections 8(a) and 8(b), the following shall be applicable:

                              (i)     Calculation of Consideration Received.  If any Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefore will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefore.  If any Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the market price of such securities on the date of receipt of such securities.  If any Common Stock, Options or
convertible securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefore will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or convertible securities, as the case may be.  The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable
appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding.  The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants.

                              (ii)     Integrated Transactions.  In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01.

10

                              (iii)     Treasury Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held will be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

                              (iv)     Record Date.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in convertible securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or convertible securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

                      (d)  Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 8(d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

                      (e)  Distribution of Assets.  If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

                      (f)  any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; Certain Events.  If any event occurs of the type
contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such 

11

provisions, then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants; provided, except as set forth in section 8(d),that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(f) will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8.

                      (g)  Notices.

                              (i)     Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment.

                              (ii)     The Company will give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.

                              (iii)     The Company will also give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.

          Section 9.     Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

                      (a)  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined
for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

                      (b)  Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or other transaction in each case which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.”  Prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity, the 

12

Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the “Acquiring Entity”) a written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the Warrants (including an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and exercisable for a quantity of securities or assets of the acquirer corresponding to the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants without regard to any limitations on
exercise, if the value so reflected is less than any Applicable Warrant Exercise Price immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale).  Prior to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder’s Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise), such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares which would have been issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder’s Warrant as of the
date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant).

          Section 10.     Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant.  If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on receipt of an indemnification undertaking (or, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

          Section 11.     Notice.  Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:  (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of receipt is received by the sending party transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

EXHIBIT 10.1

April 14, 2006

Mr. Greg D. Palmer

RemedyTemp, Inc.

101 Enterprise

Aliso Viejo CA 92656

	 	 	 	Re: Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement

Dear Greg:

Reference is made to that certain Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement
between you and RemedyTemp, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), dated as of April 22,
2005 (the “Amendment”). The purpose of this letter agreement is to amend certain provisions of the
Amendment as follows:

1. Section 3.3(a) of the Amendment is hereby amended and restated, effective immediately, to
read in its entirety as follows:

	 	 	 	“(a) An amount equal to 2.9 times the greater of (i) the Executive’s annualized rate
of Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the Protected Period,
or (ii) the Executive’s annualized rate of Base Salary in effect immediately prior to
the Effective Date of Termination.”

2. Section 3.3(b) of the Amendment is hereby amended and restated, effective immediately, to
read in its entirety as follows:

	 	 	 	“(b) An amount equal to (i) the Executive’s maximum bonus opportunity for the fiscal
year in which the Effective Date of Termination occurs, multiplied by (ii) 2.9. For
purposes of this Section 3.3(b), the “maximum bonus opportunity” means the maximum
bonus the Executive could earn for such fiscal year if the Company achieved the highest
possible level of performance for all applicable performance measures (determined with
reference to the Executive’s annualized rate of Base Salary in effect immediately prior
to the commencement of the Protected Period or in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Date of Termination, whichever is greater).”

3. A new Section 3.3(d) is hereby added to the Amendment, effective immediately, to read in
its entirety as follows:

	 	 	 	“(d) The Executive may elect to continue coverage under the Company’s medical and
dental plans (for the Executive and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible
dependents) pursuant to the Executive’s rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”). If the Executive elects to continue such coverage, for
the period commencing with the Effective Date of Termination and continuing for
eighteen (18) months thereafter (the “COBRA Reimbursement Period”), the Company shall
pay or reimburse the Executive for one hundred percent (100%) of the Executive’s COBRA
premiums to continue such coverage as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date
of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s payment or reimbursement
obligations under this Section 3.3(d) shall cease immediately upon the Executive’s
eligibility for medical coverage provided by any successor employer of the Executive.
From and after the last day of the COBRA Reimbursement Period (or such earlier date
that the Executive may be eligible for medical coverage provided by any successor
employer of the Executive), the Executive shall be solely responsible for the COBRA
premiums for any COBRA continuation coverage that the Executive may be permitted to and
may so elect.”

4. Article 5 of the Amendment is hereby deleted in its entirety, effective immediately, and
replaced with the following:

	 	 	 	“Article 5. Section 280G Gross-Up

	 	(a)	 	Notwithstanding anything contained in this Amendment or any
other document to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or distribution
of any type to or for the Executive by the Company or any of its affiliates,
whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or otherwise (including, without limitation, any accelerated
vesting of stock options or restricted stock granted by the Company pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise) (collectively, the “Total Payments”) is or will be
subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (which
reference includes, for purposes of this Agreement, any similar successor
provision to Section 4999) or any interest or penalties are incurred by the
Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, interest and
penalties collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive
shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an
amount such that after payment by the Executive of the Excise Tax imposed upon
the Total Payments, including any Excise Tax on the Gross-Up Payment, the net
amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of the Excise Tax and any
federal, state and local income or payroll tax upon the Gross-Up Payment,
equals the net amount the Executive would have received in the absence of the
Excise Tax.

	 	(b)	 	The determination of the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, and
the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made
by a nationally recognized accounting firm or consulting firm with experience
in such matters selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall
provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive
within fifteen (15) business days after the date such calculation is requested
by the Company or the Executive. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm
shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Accounting Firm
shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.

	 	(c)	 	As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section
4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting
Firm, it is possible that no Gross-Up Payment will initially be made but that a
Gross-Up Payment should have been made, or a Gross-Up Payment will initially be
made in an amount that is less than what should have been made (any of such
events is referred to as an “Underpayment”). It is also possible that a
Gross-Up Payment will initially be made in an amount that is greater than what
should have been made (an “Overpayment”). The determination of any
Underpayment or Overpayment shall be made by the Accounting Firm in accordance
with Section 5.3. In the event of an Underpayment, the amount of any such
Underpayment shall be paid to the Executive as an additional Gross-Up Payment.
In the event of an Overpayment, the Executive shall promptly pay to the
Corporation the amount of such Overpayment together with interest on such
amount (at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 1274(d) of the
Code) for the period commencing on the date of the Overpayment to the date of
such payment by the Executive to the Corporation. The Executive shall make
such payment to the Corporation as soon as administratively practicable after
the Corporation notifies the Executive of (a) the Accounting Firm’s
determination that an Overpayment was made and (b) the amount to be repaid.”

This letter agreement does not modify any other terms of the Amendment except as expressly set
forth above.

please sign the enclosed copy of this letter and return it to me.
