Tri-S
Security Corporation, a Georgia corporation (“Payor”), hereby promises to pay
to [                      ]
(“Holder”), at the address listed on the signature page hereto or such
address as Holder may from time to time designate in writing to Payor, the
principal sum of [            ] DOLLARS
($                  ),
together with interest thereon as provided herein, in such coin or currency of
the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender
for the payment of public and private debts, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this promissory note (the “Note”).

 

1.                                       Series of Notes.  This Note is issued as part of a series of
similar notes issued pursuant to Payor’s Confidential Private Offering
Memorandum dated July 26, 2005 (the “Memorandum”), and the terms of that
certain Subscription Agreement entered into between Payor and Holder, accepted
by Payor on [              ],
2005.

 

2.                                       Interest.  The outstanding principal balance hereunder
shall bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum from the date of issuance of
this Note as indicated above (the “Issue Date”), computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
All accrued interest under this Note shall be payable monthly on the
last Trading Day (as hereinafter defined) of each month, commencing the month
after the Issue Date.  All payments made
hereunder shall be applied first to accrued interest and thereafter to
principal.  For purposes of this Note,
“Trading Day” means any day on which the shares of Payor’s common stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), are purchased and sold on the
principal securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then
listed or traded.

 

3.                                       Maturity Date.  The outstanding principal balance hereunder
and all unpaid, accrued interest thereon shall be payable on the date which is
the third anniversary of the Issue Date, or [                ],
2008 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

4.                                       Conversion.  At any time after Shareholder Approval (as
defined in Section 7 hereof) is obtained and prior to the Maturity Date,
Holder may elect to convert all, but not less than all, of the outstanding
principal balance hereunder (the “Converted Amount”) into a number of shares of
Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing

 

 

the Converted Amount by the Conversion Price.  For purposes of this Note, the “Conversion
Price” shall equal $4.80 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 6
hereof.

 

5.                                       Conversion Procedure.

 

(a)                                  Holder shall exercise the conversion
right set forth in Section 4 hereof by delivering to Payor a completed
Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a
“Conversion Notice”).  No later than five
Trading Days after Holder delivers to Payor the Conversion Notice, Payor shall
issue to Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion
Shares into which the Converted Amount has been converted.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been
effected as of the close of business on the date the Conversion Notice is
delivered to Payor, and Holder will be deemed to have become the holder of
record of the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to such notice on such date.

 

(b)                                 Payor shall not be required to pay any
Federal or state transfer tax or charge that may be payable in respect of the
issuance or delivery of certificates representing the Conversion Shares in a
name other than that of Holder.

 

(c)                                  Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to
Sections 4 and 5 hereof, Payor will take all such actions as are necessary in
order to ensure that the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.

 

(d)                                 If Holder is required to make any
governmental filings or to obtain any governmental approval in connection with
the issuance or conversion of this Note, Payor will provide Holder with
reasonable assistance in preparing such filings or obtaining such
approval.  Payor will make all filings
Payor is required to make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) and the applicable state securities commissions in connection with the
issuance of this Note and the Conversion Shares.

 

(e)                                  No fractional share of Common Stock or
scrip representing any fractional share of Common Stock shall be issued upon
the conversion of the Converted Amount. 
If the conversion of the Converted Amount results in a fraction, the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder shall be rounded up to
the nearest whole share.

 

(f)                                    Upon conversion of the entire outstanding
principal balance hereunder and the payment of the accrued but unpaid interest
due thereon, the rights of Holder with respect to this Note will cease.

 

6.                                       Adjustment of
Conversion Price.  In the event
that, after the Issue Date, Payor shall: (i) pay a dividend or make a
distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock in Payor’s capital stock
(which shall include any options, warrants or other rights to acquire capital
stock), (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares, (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of Payor’s
capital stock in reclassification of the Common Stock, then, and in each such
case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be
adjusted so that, upon conversion of the Conversion Amount, Holder shall be
entitled to receive the number of Conversion Shares or other securities of
Payor that Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive upon
or by reason of any of the events described above had

 

2

 

the Conversion Amount been converted immediately prior to the
occurrence of such event.  In the event
that the outstanding shares of Common Stock are ever converted into a greater
or lesser number of shares of another corporation or entity through a merger or
similar transaction, a proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Conversion
Price to account for such change.  Payor
shall give prompt written notice to Holder following the occurrence of any event
which requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms
hereof.

 

7.                                       Limitations on Right
to Convert.

 

(a)                                  In no event shall
Holder be permitted to convert the outstanding principal balance hereunder
pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 hereof until Payor has obtained Shareholder
Approval.  For purposes of this Note,
“Shareholder Approval” means the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the
votes cast at a meeting of Payor’s shareholders (a “Shareholders Meeting”) at
which a quorum is present to approve the potential issuance in connection with
the offering contemplated by the Memorandum (the “Offering”) of more than 20%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for purposes of complying with the rules governing
The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.  No
later than thirty (30) days after the termination of the Offering, Payor shall
file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in connection with a
Shareholder Meeting and shall seek to convene such meeting as promptly
thereafter as practicable.  Payor’s Chief
Executive Officer, who in the aggregate beneficially owns approximately 24% of
the Common Stock outstanding as of the date of the Memorandum has agreed to
vote all such shares in a manner to obtain Shareholder Approval.

 

(b)                                 In no event shall
Holder be permitted to convert the outstanding principal balance hereunder
pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 hereof if, upon such conversion, the number of
Conversion Shares to be issued pursuant to such conversion plus the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Holder would exceed
4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, it
being the intent of Payor and Holder that Holder not be deemed at any time to
have the power to vote or dispose of greater than 4.99% of the number of shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding at any time. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to restrict the right of Holder to convert such excess
principal amount at such time as such conversion will not violate the
provisions of this Section 7. As used herein, beneficial ownership shall
be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act.  To the extent that the limitation
contained in this Section 7 applies (and without limiting any rights Payor
may otherwise have), Payor may rely on Holder’s determination of whether this
Note is convertible pursuant to the terms hereof, Payor shall have no
obligation whatsoever to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination,
and the submission of a Conversion Notice by Holder shall be deemed to be
Holder’s representation that this Note is convertible pursuant to the terms
hereof.

 

8.                                       Securities Laws;
Share Legend.  Holder, by
acceptance of this Note, agrees that the Conversion Shares will be disposed of
only in accordance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
of the SEC promulgated thereunder.  In
addition to any other legend which Payor may deem advisable under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, all certificates
representing the Conversion Shares (as well as any other securities issued
hereunder in respect of any such shares) issued upon conversion of this Note
shall be endorsed as follows:

 

3

 

THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

Any certificate issued at
any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend
(except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution
pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) shall also bear
such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Payor) selected by Holder of such certificate, the securities
represented thereby need no longer be subject to restrictions on resale under
the Securities Act.

 

9.                                       Call Provision.  Payor has the option to prepay all or any
portion of the outstanding principal balance hereunder at any time after the
one year anniversary of the Issue Date with no prepayment penalty in accordance
with the terms of this Section 9. 
Payor may exercise this right of prepayment by delivering to Holder a
written notice (a “Prepayment Notice”) indicating the amount of the outstanding
principal balance hereunder to be prepaid and the date on which Payor intends
to make such prepayment, which date may be no earlier than 30 days after the
Prepayment Notice is delivered to Holder. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Payor may exercise this right of
prepayment only if a registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities
Act covering the resale of the Conversion Shares has been declared effective by
the SEC on or prior to the date on which Payor delivers the Prepayment Notice
to Holder.

 

10.                                 Governing Law.  The terms of this Note shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

 

11.                                 Restrictions on
Transfer.  Holder, by
acceptance of this Note, agrees and understands that: (i) this Note may
not be transferred, sold pledged or hypothecated by Holder; and (ii) any
attempted transfer, sale, pledge or hypothecation of this Note by Holder shall
be void and of no effect.

ARTICLE I

 

EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

 

1.1.                              Method
of Exercise.  To exercise this
Warrant in whole or in part, after the date on which Shareholder Approval is
obtained, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at the Warrant Agency:  (a) this Warrant; (b) a written
notice, substantially in the form of the subscription notice attached hereto as
Annex 1 (the “Subscription Notice”), of such Holder’s election to
exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of
Common Stock to be purchased, the denominations of the share certificate or
certificates desired and the name or names of the Eligible Holder(s) in which
such certificates are to be registered; and (c) payment of the Exercise
Price with respect to such shares of Common Stock.  Such payment may be made, at the option of
the Holder, by cash, money order, certified or bank cashier’s check or wire
transfer.

 

 

The
Company shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within five (5) Business
Days thereafter, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in
accordance with such subscription notice, a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in said
notice.  The share certificate or
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be specified in
such notice (or, if such notice shall not specify denominations, one certificate
shall be issued) and shall be issued in the name of the Holder or such other
name or names of Eligible Holder(s) as shall be designated in such notice.  Such certificate or certificates shall be
deemed to have been issued, and such Holder or any other person so designated
to be named therein shall be deemed for all purposes to have become holders of
record of such shares, as of the date the aforementioned notice is received by
the Company.  If this Warrant shall have
been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the
certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
right to purchase the remaining shares of Common Stock called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.  The Company shall pay all
expenses payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of
share certificates and new Warrants as contemplated by Section 2.6 below
(other than transfer or similar taxes in connection with the transfer of
securities), except that, if share certificates or new Warrants shall be
registered in a name or names other than the name of the Holder, funds
sufficient to pay all transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer shall
be paid by the Holder at the time of delivering the aforementioned notice or
promptly upon receipt of a written request of the Company for payment.

 

If
this Warrant shall be surrendered for exercise within any period during which
the transfer books for shares of the Common Stock of the Company or other securities
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant are closed for any purpose, the
Company shall not be required to make delivery of certificates for the
securities purchasable upon such exercise until the date of the reopening of
said transfer books.

 

1.2.                              Shares
To Be Fully Paid and Nonassessable. 
All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

1.3.                              No
Fractional Shares To Be Issued.  The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant.  If any
fraction of a share would, but for this Section, be issuable upon any exercise
of this Warrant, in lieu of such fractional share the Company shall issue to
the Holder a whole share of Common Stock.

 

1.4.                              Securities
Laws; Share Legend.  The Holder, by
acceptance of this Warrant, agrees that this Warrant and all shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be disposed of only in
accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)
and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) promulgated thereunder.  In addition to any other legend which the
Company may deem advisable under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, all certificates representing shares of Common Stock (as well
as any other securities issued hereunder in respect of any such shares) issued
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be endorsed as follows:

THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

Any
certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate
bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a
public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities
Act) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) selected by the Holder of
such certificate and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the securities
represented thereby need no longer be subject to restrictions on resale under
the Securities Act.

 

ARTICLE II

 

WARRANT AGENCY; TRANSFER, EXCHANGE
AND

REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT

 

2.1.                              Warrant
Agency.  Until such time, if any, as
an independent agency shall be appointed by the Company to perform services
described herein with respect to this Warrant (the “Warrant Agency”),
the Company shall perform the obligations of the Warrant Agency provided herein
at its principal office address or such other address as the Company shall
specify by prior written notice to the Holder.

 

2.2.                              Ownership
of Warrant.  The Company may deem and
treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and
owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made
by any person other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for
registration of transfer as provided in this Article II.

 

2.3.                              Transfer
of Warrant.  This Warrant may only be
transferred to a purchaser subject to and in accordance with this Section 2.3,
and any attempted transfer which is not in accordance with this Section 2.3
shall be null and void and the transferee shall not be entitled to exercise any
of the rights of the holder of this Warrant. 
The Company agrees to maintain at the Warrant Agency books for the
registration of such transfers of Warrants, and transfer of this Warrant and
all rights hereunder shall be registered, in whole or in part, on such books,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the Warrant Agency in accordance with this Section 2.3,
together with: (i) a written assignment of this Warrant, substantially in
the form of the assignment attached hereto as Annex 2, duly
executed by the Holder or its duly authorized agent or attorney-in-fact, with
signatures guaranteed by a bank or trust company or a broker or dealer
registered with the NASD, and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes
payable upon such transfer; and (ii) an investment representation letter,
in form and substance acceptable to the Company, executed by the assignee or
assignees of this Warrant.  Upon
surrender of this Warrant in accordance with this Section 2.3, the Company
(subject to being satisfied that such transfer is in compliance with 

 

3

 

Section 1.4) shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same
number of shares of Common Stock in the name of the assignee or assignees and
in the denominations specified in the instrument of assignment, and this
Warrant shall promptly be canceled. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Warrant may be exercised by a new
Holder without having a new Warrant issued. 
The Company shall not be required to pay any Federal or state transfer
tax or charge that may be payable in respect of any transfer of this Warrant or
the issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock in a name other than
that of the registered Holder of this Warrant.

 

2.4.                              Division
or Combination of Warrants.  This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants, in connection with the
partial exercise of this Warrant, upon surrender hereof and of any Warrant or
Warrants with which this Warrant is to be combined at the Warrant Agency,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which
the new Warrant or Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holders hereof and
thereof or their respective duly authorized agents or attorneys-in-fact.  Subject to compliance with Section 2.3
as to any transfer which may be involved in the division or combination, the
Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the
Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.

 

2.5.                              Loss,

the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or

ARTICLE III

 

LIMITATIONS ON
EXERCISE; ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS

 

3.1                                 Shareholder
Approval.  In no event shall the Holder of this Warrant be permitted to exercise
this Warrant or any portion hereof pursuant to Article I hereof until the
Company has obtained Shareholder Approval. 
No later than thirty (30) days after the termination of the Offering,
the Company shall file with the Commission a preliminary proxy statement
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), in connection with a Shareholder Meeting and shall seek to convene
such meeting as promptly thereafter as practicable.

 

3.2                                 Beneficial
Ownership.  In no event shall the Holder of this Warrant be permitted to exercise
this Warrant or any portion hereof pursuant to Article I hereof if, upon

 

4

 

such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued
pursuant to such exercise plus the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of
Common Stock then issued and outstanding, it being the intent of the Company
and the Holder that the Holder not be deemed at any time to have the power to
vote or dispose of greater than 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding at any time. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
restrict the right of the Holder to exercise this Warrant or any portion
thereof at such time as such exercise will not violate the provisions of this Section 3.2.  As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  To the extent that the limitation contained
in this Section 3.2 applies (and without limiting any rights the Company
may otherwise have), the Company may rely on the Holder’s determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company
shall have no obligation whatsoever to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination, and the submission of a Subscription Notice by the Holder shall
be deemed to be the Holder’s representation that this Warrant is exercisable
pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

3.3                                 Adjustment
Provision.  In the event that, after
the date hereof, the Company shall: (i) pay a dividend or make a
distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock in the Company’s capital
stock (which shall include any options, warrants or other rights to acquire
capital stock); (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a larger number of shares; (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (iv) issue any shares of the
Company’s capital stock in reclassification of the Common Stock, then, and in
each such case, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event
shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall, upon exercise of this Warrant, be
entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of
the Company that the Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive
upon or by reason of any of the events described above, had this Warrant had
been exercised prior to the occurrence of such event.  In the event that the shares of Common Stock
are ever converted into a greater or lesser number of shares of another corporation
or entity through a merger or similar transaction, a proportionate adjustment
shall be made to the Exercise Price to account for such change.  The Company shall give prompt written notice
to the Holder following the occurrence of any event which requires an
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms hereof.
