                     ________________________________________


                                                   Dated as of June 13, 2007

     Reference is made to that certain   Amended and Restated   Revolving   Credit,
Term   Loan and   Security   Agreement   dated as of the date   hereof   (as   amended,
supplemented   or modified from time to time, the "Loan   Agreement"),   among PHC,
INC. a Massachusetts corporation (the "Company") and certain of its subsidiaries
and   CAPITALSOURCE   FINANCE   LLC (the   "Lender"),   an   affiliate   of CSE   EQUITY
HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("CapitalSource"), and to the
other Loan   Documents,   pursuant to which the Lender has agreed to make   certain
loans to the Borrowers   (the   "Loans").   This Warrant is issued at Closing under
the Loan   Agreement and means and shall   include any and all warrants   issued in
substitution   for and/or in replacement of this Warrant.   The obligations of the
Lender   to   execute   and   deliver   the   Loan   Documents   and to   consummate   the
transactions   thereunder are conditioned on, among other things, the issuance of
this Warrant to CapitalSource,   and the Company has agreed to issue this Warrant
to   CapitalSource   in order to   induce   such   affiliate   to enter   into the Loan
Documents.

     Capitalized   terms used in this Warrant and not   elsewhere   defined   herein
shall have the   meanings   set forth in Schedule 1 to this Warrant or in the Loan
Agreement (if not defined herein).

     1. Grant. In consideration   of the foregoing and other value received,   the
Company   hereby   grants to   CapitalSource   and/or   its   assigns   or   transferees
(collectively,   the   "Holder"),   at the   exercise   price set forth in   Section 3
below,   the right to purchase up to 250,000   shares of Class A Common   Stock (or
other security   issued in accordance   with Section 8) subject to adjustment from
time to time (the "Warrant Shares").


                                       95
<PAGE>
     2. Exercise   Period.   The right to exercise   this   Warrant,   in whole or in
part, begins on the date hereof and expires on the tenth anniversary of the date
hereof (such date, the "Expiration Date").

     3.   Exercise   Price.   The   exercise   price   of this   Warrant   is   $3.09   on
execution] per share (the "Exercise Price").

     4. Anti-Dilution Adjustment.

     (a)   Dilutive   Transactions.   Each time the Company   enters into a Dilutive
     Transaction,   the   number of Warrant   Shares   issuable   hereunder   shall be
     increased to the number determined by performing the following   calculation
     and rounding the resulting number to the nearest whole share:   divide:   (i)
     the Non-Dilutive   Price of a Warrant Share then in effect multiplied by the
     number of Warrant   Shares then   issuable   hereunder,   by (ii) the   Weighted
     Average Per Share Value.

     (b) Readjustment.   If any option, right or right to convert or exchange any
     Common Stock   Equivalent   issued in connection with a Dilutive   Transaction
     expires   without having been exercised   prior to the exercise by the Holder
     of its   rights   hereunder,   the   number of   Warrant   Shares   then   issuable
     hereunder shall forthwith be readjusted to such lesser number as would have
     been issuable had the option,   right or Common Stock   Equivalent never been
     issued.

     (c)   Adjustment of Exercise   Price.   Upon each   adjustment of the number of
     Warrant Shares as provided in Subsection   4(a), the Exercise Price shall be
     adjusted to the dollar   figure   (calculated   to the nearest   hundredth of a
     cent)   obtained by   multiplying   the Exercise   Price in effect   immediately
     prior to such   adjustment   by the   number   of   Warrant   Shares   purchasable
     pursuant   hereto   immediately   prior to such   adjustment   and   dividing the
     product thereof by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto
     immediately following such adjustment.

     5. Other Adjustments.

     (a) Adjustment for Change in Class A Common Stock.   If the Company (i) pays
     a dividend or makes a distribution on its Class A Common Stock in shares of
     its Common Stock,   (ii) subdivides,   splits or reclassifies its outstanding
     shares of Class A Common   Stock into a greater   number of shares,   or (iii)
     combines or   reclassifies   its   outstanding   shares of Common   Stock into a
     smaller   number of shares   (each,   an   "Adjustment   Event"),   the number of
     Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately prior to such action shall be
     proportionately   adjusted so that the Holder will receive,   upon   exercise,
     the   aggregate   number and kind of shares of capital   stock of the   Company
     which it would have owned   immediately   following such action if the Holder
     had exercised   this Warrant in full   immediately   prior to such   Adjustment
     Event. The adjustment shall become effective   immediately   after the record
     date in the case of a dividend or distribution   and   immediately   after the
     effective    date    in   the    case    of   a    subdivision,    combination    or
     reclassification.   The adjustment shall be made   successively   whenever any
     Adjustment Event occurs.

                                       96
<PAGE>
     (b) Adjustment for Reorganization. Subject to Section 11.9, if there occurs
      any Change of Control, there shall thereafter be deliverable, upon exercise
     of this   Warrant   (in lieu of the   number   of   Warrant   Shares   theretofore
     deliverable)   the number of shares of stock or other securities or property
     to which a holder of the   number of   shares   of Class A Common   Stock   that
     would otherwise have been deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant in full
     would have been   entitled   upon such Change of Control if such   Warrant had
     been exercised in full immediately prior to such Change of Control.

     (c)   Adjustment of Exercise   Price.   Upon each   adjustment of the number of
     Warrant   Shares   issuable   hereunder   as   provided   in this   Section 5, the
     Exercise Price shall also be equitably and proportionately adjusted.

     (d)   Certificate   as to   Adjustments.   In each   case of any   adjustment   or
     readjustment in the number of shares, securities or other property issuable
     upon exercise of this Warrant and/or in the Exercise Price,   the Company at
     its expense will promptly   provide written notice to the Holder stating the
     number   of   shares   of   Class A Common   Stock,   other   securities   or other
     property then   issuable   upon   exercise of this Warrant and the   applicable
     Exercise   Price   after   such   adjustment,   showing   how such   amounts   were
     calculated.

     6. Participation in Dividends,   Distributions,   Repurchases or Redemptions.
If the Company   declares any dividend or makes any   distribution,   in each case,
that is not in shares of Class A Common Stock,   or repurchases or redeems any of
its capital stock (except   forfeitures   by holders,   and/or   repurchases   by the
Company,   of any   shares   of Class A Common   Stock or   options   pursuant   to any
employment   agreements   with executives of the Company or pursuant to any equity
incentive   plan in   existence   on the date hereof that has been   approved by the
stockholders   of the   Company   and   qualifies   as an   incentive   plan   under the
Internal    Revenue    Code   of   1986,    as   amended    (collectively,    "Permitted
Redemptions")),   the Company will pay the Holder the declared dividend, or offer
to include the Holder in such distribution,   repurchase or redemption, as if the
Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to such event or any
record date with   respect   thereto.   If the Holder   elects to   participate   in a
repurchase or redemption, this Warrant shall be modified (as of the date of such
event) so that the Holder   shall be   entitled   to receive,   upon   exercise,   the
number of Warrant   Shares   issuable   hereunder less the number of Warrant Shares
redeemed or repurchased.

     7. Prior Notice as to Certain Events.

     (a) Dividends, Distributions,   Subscription Rights. If the Company (i) pays
     any dividend,   or makes any distribution,   or repurchases or redeems any of
     its   capital   stock   (except   Permitted    Redemptions),    (ii)   offers   any
     subscription   rights to the   holders of its capital   stock to purchase   any
      additional   shares   of stock of any   class or any   other   rights,   or (iii)
     authorizes   the   issuance   of   shares   of   Common   Stock   or   Common   Stock
     Equivalents,   then at least 15 Business   Days prior to the action or record
     date for such action, the Company will send written notice to the Holder of
     the dates on which (A) the   Company   will   close its books or take a record
     for such action, (B) such action will occur, and (C) the holders of capital
     stock of record will participate in such action.


                                       97
<PAGE>
     (b) Change of Control. If the Company (i) enters into any Change of Control
     or reclassification of its capital stock or equity securities,   (ii) is the
     subject of a voluntary or involuntary   dissolution,   liquidation or winding
     up or (iii) receives a notice from any holder of its equity securities that
     such holder desires to exercise its right to "put" or sell such   securities
     back to the Company or to have such   securities   redeemed or repurchased by
     the   Company,   then at least 15   Business   Days   prior   to such   action   or
     transaction,   the   Company   will send   written   notice to the Holder of the
     dates on which (A) the   Company   will   close its books or take a record for
     such action, (B) such action will occur, and (C) if applicable, the holders
     of capital stock of record may exchange   their capital stock for securities
     or other property deliverable upon such action.

      8. Intentionally Omitted

     9.   Reservation of Class A Common Stock; Par Value. The Company now has and
will have upon the exercise of this Warrant   such number of its   authorized   but
unissued   shares of Class A Common   Stock as will be   sufficient   to permit   the
exercise in full of this Warrant. Upon issuance, each of the Warrant Shares will
be   validly   issued,   fully   paid   and   nonassessable,   free   and   clear   of all
preemptive   or similar   rights,   liens,   security   interests,   charges and other
encumbrances   and/or   restrictions   on sale or otherwise.   Without   limiting the
generality of the foregoing,   the Company will (i) not permit the par value,   if
any, of its Class A Common Stock to exceed the then   effective   Exercise   Price,
and in   furtherance of the   foregoing,   shall promptly cause the   Certificate of
Incorporation   of the Company to be amended to reduce the par value of the Class
A Common Stock if the Exercise Price is reduced below the current par value, and
(ii) not amend or modify any provision of the   Certificate of   Incorporation   of
the Company or by-laws of the Company in any manner that would adversely   affect
in any way the   powers,   preferences   or rights   of the Class A Common   Stock or
which would adversely affect the rights of the Holder.

     10. No Voting   Rights;   Limitations of Liability.   Prior to exercise,   this
Warrant   will not entitle the Holder to any voting   rights or other   rights as a
stockholder of the Company not granted herein. No provision of this Warrant,   in
the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant, and no
enumeration in this Warrant of the rights or privileges of the Holder, will give
rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price.

     11. Registration Rights.

          11.1 Effective Date. The rights of each Holder that holds   Registrable
          Securities   under this Section 11 are   effective as of the date hereof
          and shall   remain in full   force and   effect for so long as the Holder
           continues to hold any   Registrable   Securities   and   regardless of any
          transfer of this Warrant or its termination upon its exercise in full.

          11.2 Intentionally Omitted.

          11.3 Piggyback Registrations.

               (1) RIGHT TO PIGGYBACK. Whenever the Company proposes to register
               any of its   securities   under   the   Securities   Act   (other   than

                                       98
<PAGE>
               pursuant   to a   registration   on   Form   S-8   or   Form   S-4 or any
               successor forms, a registration covering only an employee benefit
               plan   (as   defined   in   Rule   405 of   the   Securities   Act)   or a
               registration   covering only   securities   proposed to be issued in
               exchange for securities or assets of another corporation) and the
               registration   form to be used may be used for the registration of
               Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback Registration"),   the Company
                will give prompt   written   notice to all   holders of   Registrable
               Securities and (subject to   subsections   (2) and (3) below) shall
               include in such   registration   all   Registrable   Securities   with
               respect to which the Company has   received   written   requests for
               inclusion   therein within 15 Business Days after the day on which
               the Company's   notice is deemed delivered under the terms hereof.
               The foregoing   right shall not apply to the Company   registration
               of shares of its Class A Common   Stock on Form S-3 filed with the
               SEC prior to the date hereof and awaiting SEC effectiveness.

               (2) PRIORITY ON INITIAL REGISTRATION. If a Piggyback Registration
               is an   underwritten   registration   of   shares   being   sold by the
               Company,   and the managing   underwriter(s)   advise the Company in
               writing that in their opinion the number of securities   requested
               to be included in such registration   exceeds the number which can
               be   sold   in   such   offering   without   adversely    affecting   the
               marketability   of the offering,   the Company will include in such
               registration:

                    (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell;

                    (ii) second, to the extent a number of additional securities
                    are to be   included   in the   registration,   the   Registrable
                    Securities   requested   to be included in such   registration;
                    and

                    (iii) third, to the extent a number of additional securities
                    are to be included in the registration, all other securities
                    requested   to be included in such   registration   pursuant to
                    the exercise of other piggyback   registration rights granted
                    by the Company.

               (3)   PRIORITY   ON    SUBSEQUENT    REGISTRATION.    If   a   Piggyback
               Registration   is   an   underwritten    registration   other   than   a
               registration   of   shares   being   sold   by the   Company,   and   the
               managing   underwriter(s)   advise the   Company in writing   that in
               their opinion the number of   securities   requested to be included
               in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such
               offering   without   adversely   affecting the   marketability of the
               offering, the Company will include in such registration:

                    (i) first,   Registrable   Securities requested to be included
                    in such registration;

                    (ii) second, to the extent a number of additional securities
                    are to be included in the   registration,   the securities the
                    Company proposes to sell; and

                                       99
<PAGE>
                    (iii) third, to the extent a number of additional securities
                    are to be included in the registration, all other securities
                    requested   to be included in such   registration   pursuant to
                    the exercise of other piggyback   registration rights granted
                    by the Company.

          11.4 Intentionally Omitted.

          11.5   Registration   Procedures.   Whenever   the holders of   Registrable
          Securities    have   requested   that   any    Registrable    Securities   be
          registered   pursuant to this Agreement,   the Company will use its best
          reasonable   efforts   to effect the   registration   and the sale of such
          Registrable   Securities   in   accordance   with the   intended   method of
          disposition   therefor,   and pursuant   thereto,   the Company   will,   as
          expeditiously as possible, do all of the following:

               (1)   REGISTRATION   STATEMENT.   Prepare   and   file   with   the U.S.
               Securities   and Exchange   Commission   (the "SEC") a   registration
               statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its
               best reasonable   efforts to cause such registration   statement to
               become   effective   (provided   that before   filing a   registration
               statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto,
               the Company will   furnish to the counsel   selected by the holders
               of a   majority   of the   Registrable   Securities   covered   by such
               registration   statement copies of all such documents   proposed to
               be filed,   which   documents   will be   subject   to the   review and
               approval of such counsel) and use its best reasonable   efforts to
               avoid the issuance of (or if issued,   obtain the   withdrawal   of)
               any   order    suspending   the    effectiveness   of   a   registration
               statement,   or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification
               (or   exemption   from   qualification)   of any   of the   Registrable
               Securities for sale in any jurisdiction as soon as possible;

               (2) AMENDMENTS & SUPPLEMENTS.   Prepare and file with the SEC such
                amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the
               prospectus   used in   connection   therewith as may be necessary to
               keep such registration statement effective for a period necessary
               to comply with the   provisions of the Securities Act with respect
               to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration
               statement   during such   period in   accordance   with the   intended
               methods of disposition by the sellers thereof, which period shall
               not be less than six months;

               (3)   FURNISH   COPIES.   Furnish   to   each   seller   of   Registrable
               Securities such number of copies of such registration   statement,
                each amendment and supplement   thereto,   the prospectus   included

               documents   as such   seller   may   reasonably   request   in order to
               facilitate the disposition of the Registrable   Securities covered
               by such registration statement;

               (4)   BLUE-SKY   COMPLIANCE.   Use its best   reasonable   efforts   to
               register or qualify such Registrable   Securities under such other
               securities or blue sky laws of such United   States   jurisdictions
               as any seller   reasonably   requests and do any and all other acts

                                      100
<PAGE>
               and things   which may be   reasonably   necessary   or   advisable to
               enable   such   seller   to   consummate   the    disposition   in   such
               jurisdictions of the Registrable   Securities owned by such seller
               (provided   that the   Company   will not be required to (i) qualify
               generally to do business in any   jurisdiction   where it would not
               otherwise   be   required to qualify   for this   subparagraph,   (ii)
               subject   itself to   taxation in any such   jurisdiction,   or (iii)
               consent   to general   service of process in any such   jurisdiction
               other than with   respect to the   registration,   qualification   or
               exemption therefrom of the Registrable Securities);

               (5)   NOTIFICATIONS.    Notify   each   seller   of   such   Registrable
               Securities   at any time   when a   registration   statement   related
               thereto is effective   under the Securities   Act, of the happening
                of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such
               registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material
               fact or omits any fact necessary to make the   statements   therein
               not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing,   and,
               at the request of any such   seller,   the Company   will   prepare a
               supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter
               delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities,   such
               prospectus   will not   contain an untrue   statement   of a material
               fact or omit to state any fact   necessary to make the   statements
               therein not misleading;

                (6) LISTING.   Use its best   reasonable   efforts to cause all such
               Registrable   Securities to be listed on any nationally recognized
               United States trading   market,   if   applicable,   on which similar
               securities   of the same   class   issued   by the   Company   are then
               listed;

               (7)   TRANSFER   AGENT;   REGISTRAR.   Provide a   transfer   agent and
               registrar for all such Registrable   Securities not later than the
                effective date of such registration statement;

               (8) OMITTED.

               (9) SUPPLY   INFORMATION.   Make   available   for   inspection by any
               seller of Registrable   Securities,   underwriter   participating in
                any disposition   pursuant to such registration   statement and any
               attorney,   accountant or other agent   retained by any such seller
               or   underwriter,   all   financial   and   other   records,   pertinent
               corporate documents and properties of the Company,   and cause the
               Company's    officers,    directors,    employees   and    independent
               accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any
               such   seller,   underwriter,   attorney,   accountant   or   agent   in
               connection with such registration statement; and

               (10) OBTAIN COLD COMFORT LETTER AND OPINIONS OF COUNSEL. Obtain a
               cold   comfort   letter   from   the   Company's    independent   public
               accountants and opinions of counsel from the Company's attorneys,
               each   in   customary    form   and   covering   such   matters   as   are
               customarily   given or covered by independent   public   accountants
               and attorneys, as applicable,   in an underwritten public offering
               of securities, addressed to the sellers.
