NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
SALE OF SHARES AND CLOSING
1.01 Purchase and Sale. Seller agrees to sell to Frost, and Frost
agrees to purchase from Seller, all of the right, title and interest of Seller
in and to the Shares at the closing of the Loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement
dated February 8, 2001, between Frost and Seller ("Loan Agreement") on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
1.02 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares is
$[_____] (the "Purchase Price"), payable at the closing of the Loan. Frost will
pay the Purchase Price by transfer of immediately available United States funds
to Seller to an account designated by Seller at least two business days before

unaltered form, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed stock
powers endorsed in blank, with requisite stock transfer tax stamps, if any,
attached.
1.03 Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the
closing of the Loan, Seller shall execute and deliver to Frost such other
documents and instruments, provide such materials and information and take such
other actions as Frost may reasonably request to more effectively vest title to
the Shares in Frost, and otherwise to cause Seller to fulfill its obligations
under this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other party as follows
(except in the case of a representation and warranty stated as being made by a
specific party):
2
2.01 Authority. Such party has full power and authority to execute and
deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly
and validly executed and delivered by such party and constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of such party enforceable against such party in
accordance with its terms.
2.02 Capital Stock. Seller represents and warrants that: (a) the Shares
are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; (b) Seller owns the Shares,
beneficially and of record, free and clear of all Liens except those imposed by
federal and state securities laws; (c) except for this Agreement, there are no
outstanding options with respect to the Shares; and (d) the delivery of a
certificate or certificates at the closing representing the Shares in the manner
provided in Section 1.02 will transfer to Frost good and valid title to the
Shares, free and clear of all Liens except those imposed by federal and state
securities laws.
2.03 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such
party of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not and will not (i) result in any breach or violation of or be in
conflict with or constitute a default under the terms of any law, order,
regulation or agreement or arrangement to which such party or (in the case of
Seller) GBI or its subsidiaries, as the case may be, is a party or by which such
party is bound, (ii) require any filing with or authorization by any
governmental entity other than filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to report the transactions contemplated hereby, or (iii) require any
consent or other action by any person under, constitute a default under, or give
rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration or to a loss of
any benefit to which such party is entitled under any provision of any agreement
or other instrument binding on such party.
2.04 Investment Representations. Frost represents and warrants to
Seller that it is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined under Rule
501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act").
Frost understands that the Shares are "restricted,' such that they may not be
resold by him except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
1933 Act or an exemption from the registration requirements thereof, and that
the certificates representing such Shares shall bear a legend to this effect. It
understands that its purchase of the Shares represents a speculative investment,
involving a high degree of risk. It has had the opportunity to ask reasonable
questions of Seller and officers of GBI concerning the Shares and the business
of GBI, and such questions have been answered to its full satisfaction.
