COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
OF
GAMING & ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC.
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, or
registered assigns ("Holder"), is entitled to purchase, subject to the
provisions of this Common Stock Purchase Warrant ("Warrant"), from Gaming &
Entertainment Group, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Company"), FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
(500,000) shares of common stock, $.01 par value ("Warrant Shares"), at a price
of US$0.40 per share ("Exercise Price").
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT; ASSIGNMENT; WARRANT EXCHANGE. The Warrant may be
exercised in whole or in part at any time commencing on the date hereof and
expiring on the close of business on the third anniversary hereof ("Exercise
Term"), or if such day is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by
law to close then on the next succeeding business, by presentation and surrender
of the Warrant at the Company's principal office or at the office of its stock
transfer agent, along with the Notice of Exercise (attached hereto as Exhibit A)
duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number of
shares of Warrant Shares specified in such form. If the Warrant should be
exercised in part, the Company shall, upon surrender of the Warrant for
cancellation and presentment of a duly executed Notice of Exercise, execute and
deliver a new Warrant, or Warrants, as the case may be, evidencing the rights of
the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the shares of Warrant Shares
purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of a Warrant at its office,
or by the stock transfer agent of the Company at its office, in proper form for
exercise and accompanied by the appropriate payment for the shares of Warrant
Shares, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the number of
shares of Warrant Shares set forth therein, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such shares of Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered
to the Holder. This Warrant may be assigned in whole or in part by presentation
and surrender of the Warrant at the Company's principal office or at the office
of its stock transfer agent, along with the Notice of Assignment (attached
hereto as Exhibit B) duly executed and clearly stating the names and addresses
of the Assignee(s).
2. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES; REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company hereby
agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon
exercise of the Warrant, such number of Warrant Shares as shall be required for
issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrant. The Company further agrees
that all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall, upon
issuance and payment of the Exercise Price, be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. Holder shall have
unlimited piggy-back registration rights with respect to the Warrant Shares.

3. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares, or script representing
fractional shares, shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. Any
fractional shares that might otherwise be issued upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
4. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. Prior to exercising or exchanging this Warrant,
the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company,
either at law or in equity; provided, however, to the extent Holder is otherwise
a stockholder of the Company, Holder shall have all rights afforded to common
stockholders of the Company. The rights of the Holder are limited to those
expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except as
otherwise provided herein.
5. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Upon occurrence of any of
the following, the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as follows:
If at any time after the date hereof the number of shares of Company
common stock ("Common Stock") issued and outstanding is increased by a
stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision of
shares of Common Stock, then, on the record date of such stock dividend or
subdivision, the Exercise Price shall be appropriately decreased and the
number of shares of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
If at any time after the date hereof the number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding is decreased by a merger, reorganization,
reverse stock split or other form of business combination, then, on the
effective date of such merger, reorganization, reverse stock split or
other form of business combination, the Exercise Price shall be
appropriately increased and the number of shares of Warrant Shares shall
be appropriately decreased in proportion to such decrease of outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company.
All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest
cent or to the nearest whole share, as applicable.
6. OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE. In the event the Exercise Price or the number of
shares of Warrant Shares are adjusted as provided in Section 5 above, the
Company shall forthwith file with its Secretary at its principal office, and
with its stock transfer agent an officer's certificate (the "Certificate")
showing the adjusted number of shares of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant and the adjusted Exercise Price. The Certificate shall
set forth in reasonable detail all facts necessary to show the reason for and
the manner of computing such adjustments. The Holder shall make each Certificate
available for inspection and the Company shall forward, by certified mail, a
copy of each Certificate to the Holder.
A calculation of any adjustment as provided by Section 5 above, evidenced
by a certificate from the Company's independent certified public accountants
shall be deemed a correct calculation of the adjustment for purposes of this
Warrant. The foregoing presumption shall constitute a rebuttable presumption,
with the party disputing the calculation bearing the burden of proving the
incorrectness of such calculation.
During the term of this Warrant, if the Company shall propose to take any
action that would result in an adjustment to be made as provided in Section 5
above, the Company shall mail to the Holder, by certified mail, prior to or no
later than 15 days after the day on which the adjustment became effective, a
notice setting forth in reasonable detail the terms of the adjustment.
7. NOTICE. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be
given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by certified mail,
return receipt requested, or delivered against receipt, if to the Holder, to
Holder's last known address, and if to the Company, at its principal office. Any
notice or other communication given by certified mail shall be deemed given at
the time of certification thereof, except for a notice changing a party's
address which shall be deemed given at the time of receipt thereof.
8. BINDING EFFECT. The provisions of this Warrant shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of (a) the parties hereto, (b) the successors and
2
assigns of the Company, (c) if the Holder is a corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, or other form of entity, the successors and assigns of the
Holder, and (d) if the Holder is a natural person, the assignees, heirs, and
personal representative(s) of the Holder.
9. PRONOUNS. Any masculine personal pronoun shall mean the corresponding
feminine or neuter personal pronoun, as the context requires.
10. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.
11. TITLES AND CAPTIONS. All section titles or captions contained in this
Warrant are for convenience only and shall not be deemed part of the context and
shall not affect the interpretation of this Warrant.
12. COMPUTATION OF TIME. In computing any period of time pursuant to this
Warrant, the day of the act, event or default from which the designated period
of time begins to run shall be included, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or a
legal holiday, in which event the period shall begin to run on the next day
which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
13. PRESUMPTION. This Warrant shall not be construed against any party due
to the fact that said party drafted the Warrant, or any section herein.
14. PARTIES IN INTEREST. Nothing herein shall be construed to be to the
benefit of any third party, nor is it intended that any provision shall be for
