pursuant to Article 7 of this Agreement) shares (the "Shares") of common stock,
par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the agreements herein set
forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. GRANT
GFG and/or its designees are hereby granted the right to purchase, pursuant
to the terms and conditions of this Warrant Agreement, at any time from March
2002 until 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on March 2005, which date may be extended as
set forth in Section 11 (the "Warrant Exercise Term"), up to 500,000 fully-paid
and non-assessable Shares at an initial exercise price (subject to adjustment as
provided in Article 7 hereof) of $2.00 per Share.
2. WARRANT CERTIFICATES.
The warrant certificates delivered and to be delivered pursuant to this
Agreement (the "Warrant Certificates") shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit
A attached hereto and made a part hereof, with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by
this Agreement.
3. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
3.1. Vesting and Exercise. The Warrants granted herein shall vest in GFG
and shall become exercisable immediately on the issuance of this Warrant

entitled to receive a stock certificate or certificates for the Shares so
purchased. The purchase rights represented by each Warrant Certificate are
exercisable at the option of the Holder thereof, in whole or in part (but not as

names as may be directed by, the Holder thereof; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificates in a
name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of
such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such
tax has been paid.
The Warrant Certificates and the certificates representing the Shares shall
be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of the
present or any future Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief
Executive Officer or resident or Vice President of the Company under its
corporate seal reproduced thereon, attested to by the manual or facsimile
signature of the present or any future Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the
company, or in such other manner as is then authorized for the Company. Warrant
Certificates shall be dated the date of execution by the Company upon initial
issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer.
Upon exercise, in part or in whole, of the Warrants, certificates

registered for purposes of public distribution under the Securities
act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and may not be offered or sold
except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Act, (ii) to the extent applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act
(or any similar rule under such Act relating to the disposition of
securities), or (iii) upon the delivery by the holder to the Company
of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the
Company, stating that an exemption from registration under such Act is
available."
(b) The Holder hereby covenants and agrees that from and after the date
hereof the Holder may, after five business day prior written notice to the
Company of the Holder's intention thereto, directly or indirectly, sell, offer
or contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose or
2
transfer (collectively, a "transfer") the Warrant to a transferee who expressly
and in writing agrees with the Holder and the Company at the time of such
transfer, to assume all of the obligations of, and comply with all the
provisions applicable to, the Holder under this Agreement and under the Warrant.

shall be the price which shall result from time to time from any and all
adjustments of the initial exercise price per Share in accordance with the
provisions of Article 8 hereof.
5.2. Exercise Price. The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the
initial exercise price until such price has been adjusted, in which case
thereafter the term Exercise Price shall mean the adjusted exercise price.
6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
6.1. Registration Under the Securities Act of 1933. None of the Warrants or
Shares have been registered for purposes of public distribution under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
6.2. Registrable Securities. As used herein the term "Registrable Security"
means each of the Warrants, the Shares and any shares of Common Stock issued
upon any stock split or stock dividend in respect of such Shares; provided,

shall cease to be a Registrable Security when, as of the date of determination,
(i) it has been effectively registered under the Act and disposed of pursuant

transaction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act and the Company has
agreed to remove the legend in Section 4(a) hereof; or (iii) it has ceased to be

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or
other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment
shall be made in the definition of "Registrable Security" as is appropriate in
order to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the rights granted pursuant to
this Article 6.
6.3 Mandatory Registration. (a) At any time after one (1) year from the
date of this agreement any holder of Registrable Securities may demand in
writing that the Company commence the process of preparing and filing with the
U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), on one occasion, at
the sole expense of the Company (except as provided in Section 6.4 (b) hereof),
a Registration Statement and such other documents, including a prospectus, as
may be necessary (in the opinion of counsel for the Company), in order to comply
with the provisions of the Act, so as to permit a public offering and sale of
all the Registrable Securities by the holders thereof. The Company shall
commence the process of preparing and filing the Registration Statement within
sixty (60) days after receipt of such written demand. Until the Registration
Statement is effective, the Company shall use its best
3
efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective under the Act,
so as to permit a public offering and sale of the Registrable Securities by the
holders thereof and will re-file the Registration Statement at the earliest
possible opportunity if not declared effective. Once effective, the Company will
use its best efforts to (a) maintain the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable
Securities have been sold or (ii) the date that the holders of the Registrable
Securities receive an opinion of counsel to the Company that all of the
Registrable Securities may be freely traded (without registration under the Act)
in a single transaction under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Act or
otherwise and the Company has removed the legend referred to in Section 4(a);
and (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the
Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Registration Statement. The Company's obligations described in this
paragraph shall not apply to any issued or issuable Registrable Securities that
are eligible for immediate resale pursuant to Rule 144, without regard to volume
limitations.
(b) Notice. The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of the
effectiveness of any such Registration Statement to all holders of the
Registrable Securities within ten (10) business days from the date of the
Company's receipt of notice of such effectiveness.
(c) Piggy-back Registration. If at any time after the ninety (90) days from
the date of this Agreement, the Company determines to proceed with the
preparation and filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act in
connection with its securities, the Company will give written notice of its
determination to all record holders of the Registrable Securities. Upon written
request by a holder, the Company will include the Registrable Securities issued
or issuable to such holder in that registration statement (other than a
registration statement filed on either Form S-8 or Form S-4) subject to
customary limitations as imposed by the underwriter for any such public
offering. If requested by the Company, the holders of the Registrable Securities
will agree to be bound by such additional restrictions on the sale or transfer
of the Registrable Securities as may be required in order to comply with the
requirements of, any applicable securities exchange in which the Company's
Securities are listed or quoted or the SEC in connection with the public
offering which agreement will be self-executing without the need for execution
of additional instruments. The Company's obligations described in this paragraph
shall not apply to any issued or issuable Registrable Securities that are
eligible for immediate resale pursuant to Rule 144, without regard to volume
limitations. The Company shall pay the expenses for any registration statement
except for underwriting discounts and commissions and legal fees of the holders
of the Registrable Securities.
6.4. Covenants of the Company With Respect to Registration. The Company
covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) In connection with any registration under Section 6.3 hereof, the
Company shall file the Registration Statement as expeditiously as possible, and
until such Registration Statement is declared effective, shall use its best
efforts to have any such Registration Statement declared effective at the
earliest possible time, and shall furnish each holder of Registrable
4
Securities such number of prospectuses as shall reasonably be requested.
(b) The Company shall pay all costs, fees and expenses (other than
underwriting fees, discounts and non-accountable expense allowance applicable to
the Registrable Securities and the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the
holders of Registrable Securities) in connection with all Registration
Statements filed pursuant to Section 6.3(a) hereof including, without
limitation, the Company's legal and accounting fees, printing expenses,
registration expenses, and blue sky fees and expenses.
(c) The Company will take all necessary action which may be required in
qualifying or registering the Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky
laws of such states as are reasonably requested by the holders of such
Registrable Securities.
(d) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, within the
meaning of the Act, who may purchase from or sell for a Holder, any Registrable
Securities, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities
caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any other registration statement filed by the Company under the any
post-effective amendment to or supplement thereto such registration statements,
or any prospectus included therein required to be filed or furnished by reason
of this Agreement or caused by any omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, exceptions so far as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are
caused by any such untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished
or required to be furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder within the
meaning of the Act and each officer, director, employee and agent of the Holder;
provided, however, that the indemnification in this paragraph (c) with respect
to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of a Holder (or to the benefit
of any person controlling such holder) on account of any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arising from the sale of Registrable Shares by such Holder,
if a copy of a subsequent prospectus correcting the untrue statement or omission
in such earlier prospectus was provided to such Holder by the Company prior to
the subject sale and the subsequent Prospectus was not delivered or sent by such
Holder to the purchaser prior to such sale.
(e) Each Holder, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Company, its
directors, each officer signing the Registration Statement and each person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
registration statement or any prospectus required to be filed or furnished by
reason of this Agreement or caused by any omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are
caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in
writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.
(f) Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action in
respect of which indemnity may be sought against any indemnifying party under
this Section 6.4, the indemnified party will notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party will, subject to
the provisions hereinafter stated, assume the defense
5
of such action (including the employment of counsel satisfactory to the
indemnified party and the payment of expenses) insofar as such action relates to
an alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the
indemnifying party. After notice from the indemnifying party of its election to
assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall no
longer be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 6.4 for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided,
however, that if, in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party or
parties, it is advisable for the indemnified party or parties to be represented
by separate counsel, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
employ a single counsel to represent the indemnified parties who may be subject
to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be
sought by the indemnified parties thereof against the indemnifying party, in
which event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the
indemnifying party. Any party against whom indemnification may be sought under
this Section 6 shall not be liable to indemnify any person that might otherwise
be indemnified pursuant hereto for any settlement of any action effected without
such indemnifying party's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(g) If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 6.4(d)
or (e) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense
referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the
relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations.
(h) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring any
Holder to exercise the Warrants held by such Holder prior to the initial filing
of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.
(i) If the Company shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Article
6, the Company shall, in addition to any other equitable or other relief
available to the holders of Registrable Securities, be liable only for any
direct consequential damages sustained by the holders of Registrable Securities,
resulting from the Company's failure to register the Registrable Securities.
(j) The Company shall promptly deliver copies of all correspondence between
the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda
relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to the
Registration Statement to each holder of Registrable Securities included for
such registration in such Registration Statement pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof
requesting such correspondence and memoranda and to the managing underwriter, if
any, of the offering in connection with which such Holder's Registrable
Securities are being registered and shall permit each holder of Registrable
Securities and such underwriter to do such reasonable investigation, upon
reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted
from the Registration Statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with
applicable securities laws or rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers,
6
Inc. Such investigation shall include access to books, records and properties
and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and
independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times
and as often as any such holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter shall
reasonably request.
7. ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
7.1. Computation of Adjusted Price. Except as hereinafter provided, in case the
Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue or sell any shares of
Common stock, including shares held in the Company's treasury and shares of
Common Stock issued upon the exercise of any options, rights or warrants to
subscribe for shares of Common stock (other than the issuances or sales of
Common Stock pursuant to rights to subscribe for such Common Stock distributed
to all the shareholders of the Company and Holders of Warrants pursuant to
Section 7.8 hereof, and except for shares issued as the result of options
granted under any employee stock option of the Company as approved from time to
time by shareholders of the Company) and shares of Common Stock issued upon the
direct or indirect conversion or exchange of securities for shares of Common
Stock, for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such shares or without
consideration, then forthwith upon such issuance or sale, the Exercise Price
shall (until another such issuance or sale) be reduced to the price (calculated
to the nearest full cent) equal to the quotient derived by dividing (A) an
amount equal to the sum of (X) the product of the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale, multiplied
by (b) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale
plus, (Y) the aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if any, received by
the Company upon such issuance or sale, by (B) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to this
computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such computation, except in the case of a combination of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, as provided by Section 7.3 hereof.
For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with this
Section 7.1, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(a) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock for a
consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount of the cash
consideration therefore shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the
Company for such shares (or, if shares of Common Stock are offered by the
Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such securities shall
be sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription
offering, the public offering price) before deducting from any compensation paid
or discount allowed in the sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by
underwriters or dealers or others performing similar services, or any expenses
incurred in connection therewith.
(b) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a dividend or other
distribution on any stock of the Company) of shares of Common Stock for a
consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the
consideration therefore other than cash shall be deemed to be the value of such
consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of
7
Directors of the Company. For such purposes, Common Stock issued by the Company
as a matching contribution to Company sponsored 401(k) benefit plans shall be
valued at the same price used in determining the matching contribution amount
under the plan.
(c) Shares of Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other
distribution on any stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been issued
immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.
(d) The reclassification of securities of the Company other than shares of
Common Stock into securities including shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to
involve the issuance of such shares of Common Stock for a consideration other
than cash immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the
determination of security holders entitled to receive such shares, and the value
of the consideration allocable to such shares of Common Stock shall be
determined as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 7.1.
(e) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding shall
include the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of
options, rights, vested warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities.
(f) No adjustment shall be made for any issuance or sale of Common Stock by
the Company for a consideration per share equal to or greater than the Exercise
Price at the time of such issuance or sale
7.2. Options, Rights, Warrants and Convertible and Exchangeable Securities.
Except in the case of the Company issuing rights to subscribe for shares of
Common Stock distributed to all the Shareholders of the Company and Holders of
Warrants pursuant to Section 7.8 hereof, and except in the case of employee
stock options issued under existing or future shareholder approved Company stock
option plans, if the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue
options, rights or warrants to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or issue
any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, (i)
for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the issuance of such options, rights or warrants, or such convertible
or exchangeable securities, or (ii) without consideration, the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to the issuance of such options, rights or warrants, or
such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be, shall be
reduced to a price determined by making a computation n accordance with the
provisions of Section 7.1 hereof, provided that:
(a) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock, as the case may
be, issuable under all the outstanding options, rights or warrants shall be
deemed to be issued and outstanding at the time all the outstanding options,
rights or warrants were issued, and for a consideration equal to the minimum
purchase price per share provided for in the options, rights or warrants at the
time of issuance, plus the consideration (determined in the same manner as
consideration received on the issue or sale of shares in accordance with the
terms of Warrants), if any, received by the Company for the options, rights or
warrants, and if no minimum price is
8
provided in the options, right or warrants, then the consideration shall be
equal to zero; provided, however, that upon the expiration or other termination
of the options, rights or warrants, if any thereof shall not have been
exercised, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and
outstanding pursuant to this subsection (a) (and for the purposes of subsection
(e) of Section 7.1 hereof) shall be reduced by such number of shares as to which
options, warrants and/or rights shall not have vested or shall have expired or
terminated unexercised, and such number of shares shall no longer be deemed to
be issued and outstanding, and the Exercise Price then in effect shall forthwith
be readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have been had
adjustment been made on the basis of the issuance only of shares actually issued
or issuable upon the exercise of those options, rights or warrants as to which
the exercise rights shall be vested or shall not have expired or terminated
unexercised.
(b) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exchange of any convertible or exchangeable securities shall be
deemed to be issued and outstanding at the time of issuance of such securities,
and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the same
manner as consideration received on the issue or sale of shares of Common Stock
in accordance with the terms of the Warrants) received by the Company for such
securities, plus the minimum consideration, if any, receivable by the Company
upon the conversion or exchange thereof; provided, however, that upon the
termination of the right to convert or exchange such convertible or exchangeable
securities (whether by reason of redemption or otherwise), the number of shares
deemed to be issued and outstanding pursuant to this subsection (b) (and for the
purpose of subsection (e) of Section 7.1 hereof) shall be reduced by such number
of shares as to which the conversion or exchange rights shall have expired or
terminated unexercised, and such number of shares shall no longer be deemed to
be issued and outstanding and the Exercise Price then in effect shall forthwith
be readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have been had
adjustment been made on the basis of the issuance only of the shares actually
issued or issuable upon the conversion or exchange of those convertible or
exchangeable securities as to which the conversion or exchange rights shall not
have expired or terminated unexercised.
(c) If any change shall occur in the price per share provided for in any of
the options, rights or warrants referred to in subsection (a) of this Section
7.2, or in the price per share at which the securities referred to in subsection
(b) of this Section 7.2 are convertible or exchangeable, the options, rights or
warrants or conversion or exchange rights, as the case may be, shall be deemed
to have expired or terminated on the date when such price change became
effective in respect of shares not theretofore issued pursuant to the exercise
or conversion or exchange thereof, and the Company shall be deemed to have
issued upon such date new options, rights or warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities at the new price in respect of the number of shares
issuable upon the exercise of such options, rights or warrants or the conversion
or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities.
7.3. Subdivision and Combination. In case the Company shall at any time
subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price
shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or
increased in the case of combination.
7.4. Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise
Price
9
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7, the number of Shares issuable upon
the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest full number by
multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment by the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so determined by
the adjusted Exercise Price.
7.5. Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than
a change in 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 the case of any consolidation
of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation
and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, except a change as a result of a subdivision or
combination of such shares or a change in par value, as aforesaid), or in the
case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the
Company as an entirety, the Holders shall thereafter have the right to purchase
the kind and number of shares of stock and other securities and property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance as if the Holders were the owners of the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Warrants immediately prior to any such events at a price equal to
the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Holder's Warrants and (y) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the record date for such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance as if such Holders had exercised the Warrants.
7.6. Determination of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. The number of
shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding shall include the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issued and the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options, rights, vested warrants and
upon the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities.
7.7. Dividends and Other Distributions with Respect to Outstanding
Securities. In the event that the Company shall at any time prior to the
exercise of all Warrants make any distribution of its assets to holders of its
Common Stock as a liquidating or a partial liquidating dividend, then the holder
of Warrants who exercises its Warrants after the record date for the
determination of those holders of Common Stock entitled to such distribution of
assets as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend shall be entitled to
receive for the Warrant Price per Warrant, in addition to each share of Common
Stock, the amount of such distribution (or, at the option of the Company, a sum
equal to the value of any such assets at the time of such distribution as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith) which would
have been payable to such holder had he been the holder of record of the Common
Stock receivable upon exercise of his Warrant on the record date for the
determination of those entitled to such distribution. At the time of any such
dividend or distribution, the Company shall make the appropriate reserves to
ensure the timely performance of the provisions of this Subsection 7.7.
7.8 Subscription Rights for Shares of Common Stock or Other Securities. In
the case that the Company shall at any time after the date hereof and prior to
the exercise of all the Warrants
10
issue any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or
any other securities of the Company to all the shareholders of the Company, the
Holders of unexercised vested Warrants on the record date set by the Company
shall be entitled, in addition to the shares of Common Stock or other securities
receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants, to receive such rights, warrants
or options that such Holders would have been entitled to receive had they been,
on such record date, the holders of record of the number of whole shares of
Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of their outstanding Warrants (assuming
for purposes of this Section 7.8 that the exercise of the Warrants is
permissible immediately upon issuance).
7.9. Adjustment for Dividends of Common Stock, etc. In the Event that the
Company at any time or from time to time after the issuance of this Warrant
shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock
payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock for no
consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by stock split,
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock or
in any right to acquire Common Stock), or in the event the outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or
otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the exercise
price in effect immediately prior to such event shall, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as
appropriate. In the event that the Company shall declare or pay, without
consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire
Common Stock for no consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have made
a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum
number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.
Upon each adjustment of the exercise price pursuant to this Section 7.9 the
Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Stock
Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Common
Stock obtained by multiplying the exercise price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant
hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by
the exercise price resulting from such adjustment.
8. EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE.
8.1. Each Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the
surrender thereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive office of
the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing
in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of securities in such
denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such
surrender.
8.2. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, receipt of
indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement
to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon
surrender and cancellation of the Warrant Certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like
tenor, in lieu thereof.
11
9. ELIMINATION OF FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.
The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions
of Shares pay cash to the Holder in lieu of fractional interests equal to such
fraction multiplied by the market price of the Common Stock (the market price
determined, for any date, as the average of the closing prices of the Common
Stock on such principal securities exchange or automated quotation system upon
which the Common Stock may then be listed for public trading) for the five
immediately preceding trading days on such exchange).
10. RESERVATION AND LISTING OF SECURITIES.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the
exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be
issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon
exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefore, all Shares
issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid,
non-assessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any shareholder. As
long as the Warrants shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its best
efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrants to be listed on or quoted by a national securities exchange.
11. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS.
(a.) The Company and the Holder hereby acknowledge that exercise of this
Warrant by the Holder is subject to receipt of all necessary governmental
consents and approvals and may subject the Company and/or the Holder to the
filing requirements of the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976,
as amended (the "HSR Act"), and that the Holder may be prevented from acquiring
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant until receipt of all
necessary governmental consents and approvals and the expiration or early
termination of all waiting periods imposed by the HSR Act ("Governmental
Approvals"). Promptly following the Holder's notice of exercise or other written
request from the Holder, the Company and the Holder will use their respective
reasonable best efforts to make all filings necessary to obtain all required
Governmental Approvals (the "HSR Filing"). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
neither the Company nor the Holder of this Warrant shall be obligated to take
any action to obtain any Governmental Approvals, if the taking of such action
could have the direct or indirect effect of restricting, limiting or otherwise
subjecting to penalty either the Company or the Holder of this Warrant in the
ownership of their respective assets or the conduct of their respective business
(including, without limitation, requiring that the Holder of this Warrant sell,
divest or otherwise dispose of any of its assets or business). Subject to clause
b) below, if the Holder and, to the extent applicable, the Company are not able
to obtain all such Governmental Approvals on or before the Expiration Date, this
Warrant will expire on the Expiration Date.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained within this
subsection (b), if the Holder has requested that the Company and the Holder use
their respective reasonable best efforts to make all filings necessary to obtain
all required Governmental Approvals (the "Governmental Approval Procedure") at
least six months prior to the Expiration Date, and the
12
necessary Governmental Approvals have not been obtained prior to the Expiration
Date (despite the Holder's and Company's respective reasonable best efforts to
obtain such Governmental Approvals), the Exercise Period shall be extended for a
period not to exceed six months following the Expiration Date (the "Post
Expiration Period") in order to allow for receipt of the necessary Governmental
Approvals. During the Post Expiration Period, the Holder may transfer this
Warrant notwithstanding the transfer restrictions contained herein provided
that, concurrent with such transfer, the transferee exercises this Warrant in
full and tenders to the Company the full Purchase Price for all shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant and the issuance of the shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant and the issuance of the shares of Common
Stock to such transferee hereunder is not subject to receipt of any governmental
consent or approval or the expiration or termination of the waiting period under
the HSR Act. If the Governmental approvals are obtained with the Post Expiration
Period but the Holder does not deliver notice to the Company of the exercise of
this Warrant and tender the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Warrant in accordance herewith within ten business days following
the Holder's receipt of notice of the receipt of such Governmental Approval,
then (1) this Warrant shall expire as of the close of business on such tenth
business day following the Holder's receipt of notice of the receipt of such
Governmental Approval, and (2) the Holder shall reimburse the Company for all
(a) filing fees and (b) all other costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, all legal expenses) incurred in connection with the required
Governmental Approval with respect solely to this Warrant.
12. NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon
the Holder or Holders the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a
shareholder in respect of any meetings of shareholders for the election of
directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a
shareholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of
the Warrants and their exercise, any of the following events shall occur:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution
payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable
otherwise than out of current or retained earnings, as indicated by the
accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the
Company; or
(b) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any
additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into
or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right
or warrant to subscribe therefore; or
(c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in
connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all
of its property, assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed; or
(d) reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(other than a change in par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), consolidation of the
Company with, or merger of the Company
13
into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except a
change as a result of a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in
par value, as aforesaid), or a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety is proposed; or
(e) the Company shall propose to issue any rights to subscribe for shares
of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company to all the shareholders
of the Company;then in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give
written notice to the Holder or Holders of such event at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer
books for the determination of the shareholders entitled to such dividend,
distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights,
options or warrants, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or
the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to give such
notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken
in connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend or
distribution, or the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities or
subscription rights, options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or sale.
13. NOTICES.
All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be

of the Warrants have been either resold to the public or have become free
trading shares.

Warrant Agreement ("Expiration Date"), up to 500,000 fully-paid and
non-assessable shares ("Shares") of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of CGI Holdings, Inc., a Florida Corporation (the "Company"),
at the initial exercise price, subject to adjustment in certain events (the

No Warrant may be exercised after 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the

prior thereto or extended as provided in the Warrant Agreement, shall thereafter
be void.
The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly
authorized issue of Warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, which
Warrant Agreement is hereby
16
incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby
referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations,

event, the Company will, at the request of the holder, issue a new Warrant
Certificate evidencing the adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant
Certificate at an office or agency of the Company, a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number

other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the
