Abazias, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that,
for value received, FAMALOM, LLC (the "Holder"), or registered assigns, is the
registered holder of a warrant (the "Warrant") to subscribe for and purchase
2,500,000 shares of the fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock (as adjusted
pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the "Warrant Shares")(1) of the Company, at the
price of $.15 per share (such price and such other price as shall result, from
time to time, from the adjustments specified in Section 4 hereof is herein
referred to as the "Warrant Price"), subject to the provisions and upon the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. As used herein, (a) the term "Common

$.001 per share, and any stock into or for which such Common Stock may hereafter
be converted or exchanged, (b) the term "Date of Grant" shall mean July 12,
2005, and (c) the term "Other Warrants" shall mean any warrant issued upon
transfer or partial exercise of this Warrant. The term "Warrant" as used herein
shall be deemed to include Other Warrants unless the context hereof or thereof
clearly requires otherwise.
The Warrant evidenced by this warrant certificate is a portion of a series of
like warrants (collectively, the "Series Warrants") exercisable for the purchase
of up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the
"Series Warrant Shares"), on the Date of Grant, which Series Warrants are
evidenced by certificates of like tenor (the "Series Warrant Certificates") that
have been issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated of
even date herewith (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), between the Company,
the Holder, and other investors a party thereto.
1. Term. The purchase right represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in
whole or in part, at any time after July 12, 2005 (the "Initial Exercise Date")
and from time to time thereafter through and including the close of business on
the date three years from the Initial Exercise date. (the "Expiration Date");
provided, however, that in the event that any portion of this Warrant is
unexercised as of the Expiration Date, the terms of Section 2(b), below, shall
apply.
2. Exercise; Expiration; Redemption.
a. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. Subject to
Section 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be
exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time after
the Initial Exercise Date, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of
exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal
office of the Company and by the payment to the Company of an amount equal to
the then applicable Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares
then being purchased. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s)
representing shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the shares represented
thereby (and such shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior
to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is
exercised. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be delivered to
the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within thirty (30) days
after such exercise and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised, a new
Warrant representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to
which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to
the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within such thirty
(30)-day period.
b. Expiration. In the event that any portion of this Warrant is
unexercised as of the Expiration Date, such portion of this Warrant shall
automatically expire, and the Holder shall have no rights with respect to such
unexercised portion of this Warrant.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Warrant Shares that may be
issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon
issuance pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, be fully paid and
nonassessable, and free from all taxes (other than any taxes determined with
respect to, or based upon, the income of the person to whom such shares are
issued), liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by actions of
the holder of this Warrant or the person to whom such shares are issued), and
pre-emptive rights with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within
which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will
at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon
exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number
of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind
of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events, as follows:
-2-
a. Adjustment for Initial Errors. The Company hereby acknowledges
that the number of Series Warrant Shares constituting the initial number of
securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Series Warrants (the "Exercise
Quantity") was based upon the Company's representations as to the amount of
outstanding Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis excluding shares issuable
pursuant to employee and director stock options) on the Date of Grant, as set
forth in Securities Purchase Agreement. If for any reason it shall hereafter be
determined that the actual amount of Common Stock outstanding as of the Date of
Grant caused the calculation of the Exercise Quantity to be erroneous, then the
Company or the holder (whichever shall discover such error) shall notify the
other of such determination and the Company shall forthwith reissue the Warrant
or the Series Warrants, as the case may be, with an appropriate proportional
adjustment in said number to be effective from the Date of Grant.
b. Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification,
change or conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or
from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination),
or in case of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and
the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in
case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the
Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall
duly execute and deliver to the holder of this Warrant a new Warrant (in form
and substance satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant), so that the holder of
this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to
exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this
Warrant, and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or
merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable
under this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Section 4. The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.
c. Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If at any time while this
Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired the Company shall subdivide or combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or increased in the case
of a combination, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision
or combination becomes effective.
d. Stock Dividends. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding
and unexpired the Company shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock
payable in Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and
after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant
Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction
(i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such dividend, and (ii) the denominator of
which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such dividend.
i. Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the
Warrant Price, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be
adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the
Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price
immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the
Warrant Price immediately thereafter.
-3-
j. Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section
4, "fair market value" of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the
"Determination Date") shall mean (i) if shares of Common Stock are traded on a
national securities exchange (an "Exchange"), the weighted average of the
closing prices of a share of the Common Stock of the Company on the last five
(5) trading days prior to the Determination Date reported on such Exchange as
reported in The Wall Street Journal (weighted with respect to the trading volume
with respect to each such day), (ii) if shares of Common Stock are not traded on
an Exchange but trade in the over-the-counter market and such shares are quoted
on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System
("NASDAQ"), the weighted average of the closing prices of a share of the Common
Stock of the Company on the last five (5) trading days prior to the
Determination Date reported on NASDAQ as reported in The Wall Street Journal
(weighted with respect to the trading volume with respect to each such day),
(iii) if such shares are an issue for which last sale prices are not reported on
NASDAQ, the average of the closing bid and ask prices, in each case on the last
five (5) trading days (or if the relevant price or quotation did not exist on
any of such days, the relevant price or quotation on the next preceding business
day on which there was such a price or quotation) prior to the Determination
Date as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or any other
successor organization, (iv) if no bid and asked prices are reported for the
Common Stock by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or any other
successor organization for such day, the average of the high and low bid and
asked price of any of the market makers for the Common Stock as reported on the
OTCBB for the last five (5) trading days, or (v) if no price can be determined
on the basis of the above methods of valuation, then the judgment of valuation
shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company,
which determination shall be described in a duly adopted board resolution
certified by the Company's Secretary or Assistant Secretary. If the Board of
Directors of the Company is unable to determine any Valuation (as defined
below), or if the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of all of the Warrant
Shares then issuable hereunder (collectively, the "Requesting Holders") disagree
with the Board's determination of any Valuation by written notice delivered to
the Company within five (5) business days after the determination thereof by the
Board of Directors of the Company is communicated to holders of the Warrants
affected thereby, which notice specifies a majority-in-interest of the
Requesting Holders' determination of such Valuation, then the Company and a
majority-in-interest of the Requesting Holders shall select a mutually
acceptable investment banking firm of national reputation which has not had a
material relationship with the Company or any officer of the Company within the
preceding two (2) years, which shall determine such Valuation. Such investment
banking firm's determination of such Valuation shall be final, binding and
conclusive on the Company and the holders of all of the Warrants issued
hereunder and then outstanding. Any and all costs and fees of such investment
banking firm shall be borne equally by the Company and the Requesting Holders,
however, if the Valuation is within 90% of either party's valuation, then the
other party shall pay all of the costs and fees of such investment banking firm.
For purposes of this Section 4(j), the term "Valuation" shall mean the
determination, to be made initially by the Board of Directors of the Company, of
the fair market value per share of Common Stock pursuant to clause (v) above.
k. Subsequent Changes. If, at any time after any adjustment of the
Warrant Price shall have been made hereunder as the result of any issuance, sale
or grant of any rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable
securities, any of such rights, options or
-4-
6. Dividends. Intentionally omitted.
7. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares
the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based on the fair market value
(as determined in accordance with Section 4(j) above) of a share of Common Stock
on the date of exercise.
8. Compliance with Securities Act; Disposition of Warrant or Warrant
Shares.
a. Compliance with Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment and that such
holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or any shares
of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances
which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act. Upon exercise of
this Warrant, the holder hereof shall confirm in writing, by executing the form
attached as Schedule 1 to Exhibit A hereto, that the shares of Common Stock so
purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward
distribution or resale. This Warrant and all shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be
stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION
MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO,
(ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED, (iii) RECEIPT OF A NO-ACTION
LETTER(S) FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY(IES), OR (iv) OTHERWISE
COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 8 OF THE WARRANT UNDER WHICH THESE
SECURITIES WERE ISSUED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY."
In addition, in connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the holder
specifically represents to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows:
(1) The holder is aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition, and has acquired information about the Company sufficient
to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this Warrant. The
holder has executed a confidentiality agreement and will hold all information
governed by that agreement in accordance with the terms of such agreement. The
holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account for investment purposes
only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any
"distribution" thereof for purposes of the Securities Act.
(2) The holder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares
have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific
exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of the holder's investment intent as expressed herein. In this
connection, the holder understands that, in the view of the SEC, the statutory
basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the holder's representation was
predicated solely upon a present intention to hold the Warrant and the Warrant
Shares for the minimum capital gains period specified under applicable tax laws,
for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of
the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, or for a period of one (1) year or any other
fixed period in the future.
-5-
(3) The holder further understands that this Warrant and the Warrant
Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions
from registration are otherwise available.
(4) The holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 and 144A,
promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public
resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the
issuer thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, if applicable, including,
among other things: the availability of certain public information about the
Company, the resale occurring not less than one (1) year after the party has
purchased and paid for the securities to be sold; the sale being made through a
broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with
a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended) and the amount of securities being sold during any three-month
period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein.
(5) The holder further understands that at the time it wishes to
sell this Warrant and the Warrant Shares there may be no public market upon
which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists,
the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of
Rule 144 and 144A, and that, in such event, the holder may be precluded from
selling this Warrant and the Warrant Shares under Rule 144 and 144A even if the
one (1)-year minimum holding period had been satisfied.
(6) The holder further understands that in the event all of the
requirements of Rule 144 and 144A are not satisfied, registration under the
Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration
exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 and
144A is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that
persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a
registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 and 144A will have a
substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration
is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their
respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
b. Exchange. This Warrant may be exchanged, without payment of any
service charge, for one (1) or more new Warrants of like tenor exercisable for
the same aggregate number of shares of Common Stock upon surrender to the
Company by the registered holder hereof in person or by legal representative or
by attorney duly authorized in writing and, upon issuance of the new Warrant or
Warrants, the surrendered Warrant shall be cancelled and disposed of by the
Company.
-6-
c. Disposition of Warrant or Warrant Shares. With respect to any offer,
sale or other disposition of this Warrant, or any Warrant Shares acquired
pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Warrant
or Warrant Shares, the holder hereof and each subsequent holder of this Warrant
agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly
the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such holder's counsel, if
reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or
other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under
the Securities Act as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect)
of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and indicating whether or not under the
Securities Act certificates for this Warrant or such Warrant Shares to be sold
or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable
restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with applicable
law. Promptly upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory
opinion, if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify
such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or
such Warrant Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to
the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 8(c) that
the opinion of counsel for the holder is not reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, the Company shall so notify the holder promptly after such
determination has been made and neither this Warrant nor any Warrant shall be
sold or otherwise disposed of until such disagreement has been resolved. The
foregoing notwithstanding, this Warrant or such Warrant Shares may (i) as to
such federal laws, be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with
Rule 144 and 144A under the Securities Act, provided that the Company shall have
been furnished with such information as the Company may reasonably request to
provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 and 144A have
been satisfied and (ii) be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise transferred
to Affiliates of the Holder without regard to this Section 8, but only if the
Company is in receipt of an opinion of counsel as to the permissibility of such
transfer under federal and state securities laws and an investor representation
letter from the transferee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company . Each certificate representing this Warrant or the Warrant Shares thus
transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to
the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance
with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the holder, such
legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. The Company
may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent or, if acting as its
own transfer agent, the Company may stop transfer on its corporate books, in
connection with such restrictions. As used herein, "Affiliate of the Holder"
shall mean (x) any owner, shareholder, partner or member of the Holder, and (y)
any other Person that directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the
Holder.
-7-
9. Rights as Stockholders; Information. Except as otherwise set forth in
Section 6 above, no holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote
or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company
which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor
shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this
Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right
to vote for the election of the directors or upon any matter submitted to
stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, until
this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Warrant Shares purchasable upon
the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein. The
foregoing notwithstanding, the Company will transmit to the holder of this
Warrant such information, documents and reports as are generally distributed to
the holders of any class or series of the securities of the Company concurrently
with the distribution thereof to the stockholders.
11. Additional Rights.
11.1 Mergers. In the event that the Company undertakes to (i) sell,
lease, exchange, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
property or business, or (ii) merge into or consolidate with any other
corporation (other than a wholly-owned Subsidiary), or effect any transaction
(including a merger or other reorganization) or series of related transactions,
in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company is
disposed of, the Company will use its best efforts to provide at least thirty
(30) days notice of the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction. The
Company shall cooperate with the holder in consummating the sale of this Warrant
in connection with any such transaction.
11.2 Right to Convert Warrant into Common Stock; Net Issuance.
a. Right to Convert. In addition to and without limiting the rights
of the holder under the terms of this Warrant, the holder shall have the right
to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof (the "Conversion Right") into
shares of Common Stock as provided in this Section 11.2 at any time or from time
to time during the term of this Warrant. Upon exercise of the Conversion Right
with respect to a particular number of shares subject to this Warrant (the
"Converted Warrant Shares"), the Company shall deliver to the holder after
payment of the exercise, that number of shares of fully paid and non assessable
Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the value of this
Warrant (or the specified portion hereof) on the Conversion Date (as defined in
Section 11(b) hereof), which value shall be equal to (A) the aggregate fair
market value of the Converted Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant (or the specified portion hereof) on the Conversion Date less (B) the
aggregate Warrant Price of the Converted Warrant Shares immediately prior to the
exercise of the Conversion Right by (ii) the fair market value of one (1) share
of Common Stock on the Conversion Date. No fractional shares shall be issuable
upon exercise of the Conversion Right, and, if the number of shares to be issued
determined in accordance with the foregoing formula is other than a whole
number, the Company shall pay to the holder an amount in cash equal to the fair
market value of the resulting fractional share on the Conversion Date.
b. Method of Exercise. The Conversion Right may be exercised by the
holder by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
together with a written statement specifying that the holder thereby intends to
exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of shares subject to
this Warrant which are being surrendered (referred to in Section 11(a) hereof as
the Converted Warrant Shares) in exercise of the Conversion Right. Such
conversion shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant
together with the aforesaid written statement, or on such later date as is
specified therein (the "Conversion Date"). Certificates for the shares issuable
upon exercise of the Conversion Right and, if applicable, a new warrant
evidencing the balance of the shares remaining subject to this Warrant, shall be
issued as of the Conversion Date and shall be delivered to the holder within
thirty (30) days following the Conversion Date.
-8-
c. Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section
11.2, "fair market value" of a share of Common Stock shall have the meaning set
forth in Section 4(j) above, provided however, if the shares of Common Stock are
traded, then "fair market value" shall be determined by the closing price, the
last sales price or the average of the closing bid and ask prices, as
applicable, on the date of exercise.
12. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to
the holder of this Warrant as follows:
a. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida, and has all

to the original holder of this Warrant;
g. The execution and delivery of this Warrant are not, and the
