NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

1. Form of Additional Investment. The Company and Purchaser agree that the $4,000,000 to be invested by the Purchaser in connection with the foregoing will be in exchange for the following securities: (a) a $4,000,000 Subordinated Promissory Note in form and substance substantially as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, and (b) detachable warrants for 1,200,000 shares of Company common stock in form and substance substantially as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.

6. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

8. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein, and the other documents of even date herewith embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts each of which will be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

Date of Issuance: , 2003

Certificate No. W-

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Mackie Designs Inc., a Washington corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to Sun Mackie, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or its registered assigns (the "Registered Holder") the right to purchase from the Company 1,200,000 shares of the Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), no par value, of the Company, less the number of shares of Common Stock already issued, if any, in connection with partial exercises of this Warrant, at a price per share of $.01 (the "Exercise Price"). The amount and kind of securities obtainable pursuant to the rights granted hereunder are subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions contained in this Warrant.
For tax purposes, the value of this Warrant as of the date hereof is $ .
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions:
	Section 1. Exercise of Warrant.
		1A. Exercise Period.
		The Registered Holder may exercise, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), the purchase rights represented by this Warrant at any time and from time to time after the Date of Issuance to and including , 2008 (the "Exercise Period"). The Company shall give the Registered Holder written notice of the expiration of the Exercise Period at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, prior to the end of the Exercise Period.

1B. Exercise Procedure.
	(i) This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised when the Company has received all of the following items (the "Exercise Time"):
		(a) a completed Exercise Agreement, in the form set forth in Section 1C below, executed by the person exercising all or part of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant (the "Purchaser");
		(b) this Warrant;
		(c) if this Warrant is not registered in the name of the Purchaser, an Assignment or Assignments in the form set forth in Exhibit II hereto evidencing the assignment of this Warrant, or part thereof, to the Purchaser, in which case the Registered Holder shall have complied with the provisions set forth in Section 7 hereof; and
		(d) either (1) a check payable to the Company in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise (the "Aggregate Exercise Price"), (2) the surrender to the Company of debt or equity securities of the Company having a Market Price (as defined below) equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price of the Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise (provided that for purposes of this subparagraph, the Market Price of any note or other debt security or any preferred stock shall be deemed to be equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount or liquidation value thereof plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon or accrued or declared and unpaid dividends thereon) or (3) a written notice to the Company that the Purchaser is exercising the Warrant (or a portion thereof) by authorizing the Company to withhold from issuance a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of the Warrant which when multiplied by the Market Price of the Common Stock is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price (and such withheld shares shall no longer be issuable under this Warrant). The "Market Price" shall be the average of the closing bid and asked share prices quoted for the Company's Common Stock on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or, if the Company's Common Stock is then traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market or an exchange, the average of the high and low share prices of the Company's Common Stock reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market or such exchange.
	(ii) Certificates for shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser within five business days after the date of the Exercise Time. Unless this Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby have been exercised, the Company shall prepare a new Warrant, substantially identical hereto, representing the rights formerly represented by this Warrant which have not expired or been exercised and shall, within such five-day period, deliver such new Warrant to the person designated for delivery in the Exercise Agreement.
	(iii) The Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been issued to the Purchaser at the Exercise Time, and the Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder of such Common Stock at the Exercise Time.

			(iv) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Registered Holder or the Purchaser for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall, upon payment of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
			(v) The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of this Warrant or of any share of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
			(vi) The Company shall assist and cooperate with any Registered Holder or Purchaser required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approvals prior to or in connection with any exercise of this Warrant (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Company).
			(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a registered public offering or the sale of the Company, the exercise of any portion of this Warrant may, at the election of the holder hereof, be conditioned upon the consummation of the public offering or sale of the Company in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until the consummation of such transaction.
			(viii) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant. All shares of Common Stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance). The Company shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants.
		1C. Exercise Agreement. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Exercise Agreement shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit I hereto, except that if the shares of Common Stock are not to be issued in the name of the person in whose name this Warrant is registered, the Exercise Agreement shall also state the name of the person to whom the certificates for the shares of Common Stock are to be issued, and if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued does not include all the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder, it shall also state the name of the person to whom a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the rights hereunder is to be delivered. Such Exercise Agreement shall be dated the actual date of execution thereof.
		1D. Fractional Shares. If a fractional share of Common Stock would, but for the provisions of Section 1A, be issuable upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Company shall, within five business days after the date of the Exercise Time, deliver to the Purchaser a check payable to the Purchaser in lieu of such fractional share in an amount equal to the difference between the Market Price of such fractional share as of the date of the Exercise Time and the Exercise Price of such fractional share.

Section 2. Dilution Protection.
	2A. Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, distribution, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately decreased.
	2B. Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or other transaction, in each case which is effected in such a way that the 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 "Organic Change". Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the Registered Holders of the Warrant representing a majority of the Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of all of the Warrant then outstanding) to insure that each of the Registered Holders of the Warrant shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of or addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change (if the holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Organic Change) with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of such holder's Warrant had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the Registered Holders of the Warrant representing a majority of the Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of all of the Warrant then outstanding) with respect to such holders' rights and interests to insure that the provisions of this Section 2 and Sections 3 and 4 hereof shall thereafter be applicable to the Warrant (including, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrant based on the relative value of the Common Stock and the common stock of the successor entity or purchasing entity). The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Registered Holders of the Warrant representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock originally acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrant, excluding any shares previously issued under the Warrant), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.
	2C. Notices.
		(i) The Company shall give written notice to the Registered Holder at least 20 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, dissolution or liquidation.

		(ii) The Company shall give written notice to the Registered Holders at least 20 days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation shall take place.
Section 3. Liquidating Dividends. If the Company declares or pays a dividend upon the Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of earnings or earned surplus (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied) except for a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock (a "Liquidating Dividend"), then the Company shall pay to the Registered Holder of this Warrant (or any person designated by the Registered Holder) at the time of payment thereof the Liquidating Dividend which would have been paid to such Registered Holder on the Common Stock had the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (excluding any shares previously issued under the Warrant) been fully exercised immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Liquidating Dividend, or, if no record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined.
Section 4. Purchase Rights. 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 Registered Holder of this Warrant (or any person designated by the Registered Holder) shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate number of Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (excluding any shares previously issued under the 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.
Section 5. No Voting Rights; Limitations of Liability. This Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Registered Holder to purchase Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Registered Holder shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the Exercise Price of Common Stock acquirable by exercise hereof or as a shareholder of the Company.
Section 6. The Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Warrant shall not have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements thereof. Pursuant to the foregoing, the Registered Holder of this Warrant acknowledges that the certificates representing the shares issued upon conversion of this Warrant shall each bear a restrictive legend substantially as follows:
	THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF WITHOUT EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND LAWS OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
Section 7. Warrant Transferable. Subject to the transfer conditions referred to in the legend endorsed hereon, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the Registered Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed Assignment (in the form of Exhibit II hereto) at the principal office of the Company.

	Section 8. Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Registered Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the purchase rights hereunder, and each such new Warrant shall represent such portion of such rights as is designated by the Registered Holder at the time of such surrender. The date the Company initially issues this Warrant shall be deemed to be the "Date of Issuance" hereof regardless of the number of times new certificates representing the unexpired and unexercised rights formerly represented by this Warrants shall be issued. All Warrants representing portions of the rights hereunder are referred to herein as the "Warrant".
	Section 9. Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (an affidavit of the Registered Holder shall be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company (provided that if the holder is a financial institution or other institutional investor its own agreement shall be satisfactory), or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Company shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the same rights represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.
	Section 10. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices referred to in this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and shall be deemed to have been given when so delivered, sent or deposited in the U.S. Mail (i) to the Company, at its principal executive offices and (ii) to the Registered Holder of this Warrant, at such holder's address as it appears in the records of the Company (unless otherwise indicated by any such holder).
	Section 11. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of the Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Registered Holders of the Warrant representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock originally acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrant, excluding any shares previously issued under the Warrant.
	Section 12. Descriptive Headings; Governing Law. The descriptive headings of the several Sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. The corporation laws of the State of Washington shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its shareholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by the internal law of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware.
