4. Lender and Borrower agree that except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Credit Agreement, and each and every document incident thereto or connected therewith, is and shall at all times remain in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the provisions of this Supplement, provisions of this Supplement shall control.

Exhibit A

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

Issuer: Tri-S Security Corporation, a Georgia corporation (the “Company”)

Number of Shares: as provided in that certain Amended and Restated Supplemental Agreement to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 30, 2008 (the “Supplement”).

Class of Stock: _________ shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”)

Exercise Price: $3.00 per share, as the same may be from time to time adjusted pursuant to Article 2 hereof.

Issue Date: ___________.

Expiration Date: ___________.

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for the agreed upon value of $1.00 and for other good and valuable consideration, BRE LLC (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable Shares of the Company at the Exercise Price per Share set forth, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

ARTICLE 1 EXERCISE.

1.1 Method of Exercise. Subject to Section 1.6 below, this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or before the Expiration Date set forth above. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise, in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1, to the principal office of the Company together with a check for the aggregate Exercise Price for Shares being purchased.

1.2 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the

---

Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.

1.3 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new Warrant representing Shares not so acquired.

1.4 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.5 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction. Upon the closing of any Acquisition, the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted accordingly; provided that if pursuant to such Acquisition the entire outstanding class of Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant are cancelled and the total consideration payable to the holders of such class of Shares consists entirely of cash, then, upon payment to the holder of this Warrant of an amount equal to the amount such holder would receive if such holder held Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant and such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition less the aggregate Exercise Price of such Shares, this Warrant shall be cancelled.

1.6 Limitations on Exercise.

1.6.1 Shareholder Approval. In the event that Shareholder Approval is required, the Holder of this Warrant shall not be permitted to exercise this Warrant or any portion hereof pursuant to Article 1 hereof until the Company has obtained Shareholder Approval. If necessary, no later than thirty (30) days after the date of this Warrant, the Company shall file with the Securities and Exchange 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.

1.6.2 Beneficial Ownership. In no event shall the Holder of this Warrant be permitted to exercise this Warrant or any portion hereof pursuant to Article 1 hereof if, upon such exercise, the number of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) to be issued pursuant to such exercise plus the number of shares of

---

Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder would exceed 9.99% 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 9.99% 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 1.6.2. 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 1.6.2 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 Notice of Exercise by the Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder’s representation that this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the terms hereof.

1.6.3 Certain Definitions. The following terms used in this Section 1.6 have the following respective meanings:

“Shareholder Approval” means the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast at a Shareholder Meeting at which a quorum is present to approve the potential issuance of shares of Common Stock for purpose of complying with this warrant and the rules governing The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.

“Shareholder Meeting” means a meeting of the Company’s shareholders.

1.7 General Share Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant or in the Supplement, this Warrant, together with all warrants of like tenor issued pursuant to the Supplement, shall not be exercisable for greater than an aggregate of 420,000 shares of Common Stock.

ARTICLE 2 ADJUSTMENTS.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock (or Shares if Shares are securities other than common stock) payable in common stock or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, or, if Shares are securities other than common stock, subdivides Shares in a transaction that increases the amount of common stock into which Shares are convertible, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Except in the case of an Acquisition to which Section 1.5 is applicable, upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other

---

event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Exercise Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares as to which this warrant is exercisable shall be proportionately decreased.

2.4 [Intentionally Deleted]

2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment.

2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder an amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

2.7 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Exercise Price.

ARTICLE 3 COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

3.1 Valid Issuance. The Company shall take all steps necessary to insure that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.
