COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Issuance Date: October 19, 2005
SUPERCONDUCTIVE COMPONENTS, INC., an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, hereby certifies that, for value received,
The Estate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇, or its transferee (the "Holder") is entitled to
purchase from the Company 23,500 shares of the Company's common stock without
par value (the "Shares"), for the price of $3.00 per Share (the "Conversion
Price"), which right to purchase the Shares shall be exercisable until October
14, 2010. The number and exercise price of such Shares shall be subject to
adjustment as provided below.
1. Exchange of Warrants. This Warrant, at any time prior to the exercise
hereof, upon presentation and surrender to the Company, may be exchanged, alone
or with other Warrants of like tenor registered in the name of Holder, for
another Warrant or several Warrants in the name of Holder, which shall each
provide for the purchase of the number of Shares as requested by Holder thereof,
so long as the aggregate number of Shares purchasable under the new Warrant or
Warrants equals the aggregate number of Shares purchasable under the Warrant or
Warrants surrendered.
2. Exercise of Warrant. If the Holder shall desire to exercise the purchase
right evidenced by this Warrant, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant with
the form of subscription attached hereto, duly executed by Holder, to the
Company at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or such other address as
the Company shall inform Holder hereof by written notice, accompanied by payment
of the Conversion Price. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part. In
case of the exercise hereof in part only, the Company will deliver to Holder a
new Warrant of like tenor in the name of the Holder evidencing the right to
purchase the number of Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised.
Each certificate for Shares issued
hereunder shall bear a legend reading substantially as follows (unless the
Company receives an opinion from its counsel as to any such certificate that
such a legend is not required in order to assure compliance with the Securities
Act of 1933):
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER
ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION WITHOUT AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION
OR QUALIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
3. Adjustments to Number of Shares and Conversion Price. Prior to the
expiration of this Warrant by exercise or by its terms, it shall be subject to
the following further provisions:
(a) If the Company shall issue any of its Shares as a share dividend or
subdivide the number of outstanding Shares into a greater number of shares,
then, in either of such cases, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately
reduced and the number of Shares at the time purchasable pursuant to this
Warrant shall be proportionately increased; and conversely, in the event the
Company shall contract the number of outstanding Shares by combining the Shares
into a smaller number of Shares, then, in such case, the exercise price shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Shares at that time purchasable
pursuant to this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company
shall, at any time during the life of this Warrant, declare a dividend payable
in cash on its Shares and shall at substantially the same time offer to its
shareholders a right to purchase new Shares from the proceeds of such dividend
or for an amount substantially equal to the dividend, all Shares so issued
shall, for the purpose of this Warrant, be deemed to have been issued as a share
dividend. Any dividend paid or distributed upon the Shares in shares of any
other class or securities convertible into Shares shall be treated as a dividend
paid in Shares to the extent that Shares are issuable upon the conversion
thereof.
(b) If the Company shall be recapitalized by reclassifying its outstanding
Shares into shares with a different par value, or the Company or a successor
corporation shall consolidate or merge with or convey all or substantially all
of its or any successor corporation's property and assets to any other
corporation or corporations (any such corporation being included within the
meaning of the term "successor corporation" hereinbefore used in the event of
any consolidation or merger of any such corporation with, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the property of any such corporation to, another
corporation or corporations), the Holder shall thereafter have the right to
purchase the number of shares of the Company, or of any successor corporation,
to which the Holder would have been entitled had the Holder owned the number of
shares represented by this Warrant at the time of such recapitalization,
consolidation, merger or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property
or assets, upon the basis and on the terms and conditions and during the time
specified in this Warrant in lieu of the Shares of the Company theretofore
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant had such recapitalization,
consolidation, merger, or conveyance not taken place; and in any such event, the
rights of the Holder to an adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of this Warrant
-2-
as herein provided shall continue and be preserved in respect of any shares,
securities or assets which the holder of this Warrant becomes entitled to
purchase.
(c) In case:
(i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Shares for
the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable otherwise
than in cash, or any other distribution in respect of the Shares
(including cash), pursuant to, without limitation, any spin-off,
split-off or distribution of the Company's assets; or
(ii) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Shares for
the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase any shares
of any class or to receive any other rights; or
(iii) of any classification, reclassification or other reorganization
of the shares which the Company is authorized to issue, consolidation
or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;
or
(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company;
then, and in any such case, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least 20
days prior thereto, a notice stating the date or expected date on which a record
is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or the
date on which such classification, reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to
take place, as the case may be. Such notice shall also specify the date or
expected date, if any is to be fixed, as of which holders of Shares of record
shall be entitled to exchange their Shares for securities or other property
deliverable upon such classification, reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as
the case may be.
(d) In case the Company at any time while this Warrant shall remain
unexpired and unexercised shall sell all or substantially all of its property or
dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs, the Holder may thereafter receive
upon exercise hereof in lieu of each Share of the Company which it would have
been entitled to receive the same kind and amount of any securities or assets as
may be issuable, distributable or payable upon any such sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up with respect to each Share of the Company.
4. Reservation of Shares Issuable on Exercise of Warrants. The Company will
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares, solely for
issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants, such
number of Shares and other shares as from time to time shall be issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant and all other similar Warrants at the time
outstanding.

5. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence satisfactory to it (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion) of
the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of an indemnity satisfactory to
it (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion), and (in the case of
mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute
and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
6. Warrant Holder Not a Shareholder. The Holder, as such, shall not be
entitled by reason of this warrant to any rights whatsoever of a shareholder of
the Company.
7. Transfer. This Warrant is transferable only on the books of the Company
by the Holder in person or by attorney, on surrender of this Warrant, properly
endorsed. The Holder agrees to provide the Company with any evidence necessary
to demonstrate that any such transfer will not be a violation of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.
8. Recognition of Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of
transfer of this Warrant, the Company may treat the Holder as the person
exclusively entitled to receive notices and otherwise to exercise rights
hereunder.
9. Taxes and Expenses. The Company will pay any applicable transfer taxes
and other expenses incurred with respect to the issue of this Warrant or the
Shares issuable upon exercise thereof.

Company to the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first-class, registered
mail, postage prepaid, to the address furnished to the Company in writing by the
Holder of this Warrant.

accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio.
