Warrant Certificate |
EGPI FIRECREEK, INC., (“EGPI”), certifies that, for value received, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, or registered assigns (the “Holder”), is the owner of a Warrant of EGPI (the “Warrant”). The Warrant entitles the Holder to purchase from EGPI at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) up to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock of EGPI. This Warrant is issued pursuant to an Extension and Amendment Agreement, dated July 12, 2005 to a Corporate Advisory Agreement between Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and EGPI. The exercise price for the Warrant shall be $0.06 per share of Common Stock (the “Exercise Price”). The Warrant Holder has paid $100 for this Warrant.
1.
Vesting; Expiration Date; Exercise
1.1
Vesting. The Warrant granted hereunder shall be deemed fully vested, i.e., become exercisable as of the date hereof.
1.2
Expiration Date. The Warrant shall expire five (5) years from date hereof (the “Expiration Date.”) After the Expiration Date, the Warrant shall expire and be of no further force or effect.
1.3
Manner of Exercise. The Warrant is exercisable by delivery to EGPI of the following (the “Exercise Documents”): (a) this Certificate (b) a written notice of election to exercise the Warrant; and (c) by payment of the Exercise Price in cash, by check in good funds, or by wire, or by cashless exercise, i.e., by surrendering that number of underlying shares as are equal in value to the aggregate exercise price for the amount of underlying shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised. If the Company is then public, the value per share shall be determined by reference to the average 20-day closing price of the stock, if not public, in good faith by Holder after consultation with the Board of Directors of the Company. Within 10 days following receipt of the foregoing, EGPI shall execute and deliver to the Holder: (a) a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Holder, and (b) if less than all of the shares covered by the Warrant evidenced by this Certificate is exercised, a new certificate evidencing the Warrant not so exercised shall be provided to Holder.

– 18 –
XXXXXX XXXXXX OR NOMINEE
EGPI FIRECREEK, INC.
2.1
In the event that EGPI shall at any time hereafter (a) pay a dividend in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock; (b) subdivide or split its outstanding Common Stock; (c) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; (d) spin-off to its shareholders a subsidiary or operating-business unit; then the number of shares to be issued immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted so that the Holder thereafter may receive the number of shares of Common Stock or the equivalent value it would have owned immediately following such action if it had exercised the Warrant immediately prior to such action and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to reflect such proportionate increases or decreases in the number of shares.
2.2
In case of any reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change covered by Section 2.1 hereof or a change which solely affects the par value of such shares) or in the case of any merger or consolidation or merger in which EGPI is not the continuing corporation and which results in any reclassification or capital reorganization of the outstanding shares), the Holder shall have the right thereafter (until the Expiration Date) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization, merger or consolidation, by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares covered by Section 2.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to both this Section 2.2 and Section 2.1. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.
2.3
For a period of one year from the date hereof, in the event the Company shall issue any additional shares of Common Stock, common stock options, warrants, or other convertible securities exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock, the number of shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall automatically be increased in direct proportion to the increase in such additional shares of Common Stock, warrants, options or convertible securities, and if such additional shares of Common Stock, options, warrants or convertible securities are issued at a price or exercise or conversion price below the exercise price of this Warrant, the exercise price of this Warrant shall be automatically reduced to such lower price as equals the price at which such additional shares of Common Stock warrants, options or convertible securities are issued. This Section 2.3 shall not apply to EGPI issuing any securities in connection with a financing in which the price per share exceeds the exercise price of this warrant and shall not apply to EGPI issuing stock, options, or warrants under an employee stock plan duly adopted by the Board and limited to 15% of the outstanding equity securities of EGPI.
3.
Transfer. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Warrant is transferable on the books of EGPI maintained for such purpose by EGPI in person, or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Certificate properly endorsed and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. If less than all of the Warrant evidenced by this Certificate is transferred, EGPI will, upon transfer, execute and deliver to the Holder a new certificate evidencing the Warrant not so transferred.
4.
Reservation of Shares. EGPI shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit the exercise of the Warrant, EGPI shall promptly seek such corporate action as may necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
5.
Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment in the Exercise Price, or number or type of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, the Chief Financial Officer of EGPI shall compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a

XXXXXX XXXXXX OR NOMINEE
EGPI FIRECREEK, INC.
statement of the adjusted Exercise Price. EGPI shall promptly send (by facsimile and by either first class mail, postage prepaid or overnight delivery) a copy of each such certificate to the Holder.
6.
Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to EGPI of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Certificate, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrant, EGPI will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Certificate of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Certificate.
