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. Within 5 days following

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.
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.

NOTICE OF EXERCISE
(To be signed only upon exercise of the Warrant)
To:
EGPI FIRECREEK, INC.
The undersigned hereby elects to purchase shares of Common Stock (the
"Warrant Shares") of EGPI FIRECREEK, INC. ("EGPI"), pursuant to the terms of the
enclosed warrant certificate (the "Certificate"). The undersigned tenders
herewith payment of the exercise price pursuant to the terms of the Certificate.
The undersigned hereby represents and Warrant to, and agrees with, EGPI as
follows:
1.
Holder is acquiring the Warrant Shares for its own account, for
investment purposes only.
2.
Holder understands that an investment in the Warrant Shares involves a
high degree of risk, and Holder has the financial ability to bear the economic
risk of this investment in the Warrant Shares, including a complete loss of such
investment. Holder has adequate means for providing for its current financial
needs and has no need for liquidity with respect to this investment.
3.
Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in the Warrant Shares and in protecting its own interest in connection with this
transaction.
4.
Holder understands that the Warrant Shares have not been registered
under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws. Holder is familiar
with the provisions of the Securities Act and Rule 144 thereunder and
understands that the restrictions on transfer on the Warrant Shares may result
in Holder being required to hold the Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of
time.

interest in, or otherwise dispose of, with or without consideration
(collectively, "Transfer") any of the Warrant Shares except pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from
registration. As a further condition to any such Transfer, except in the event
that such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to EGPI any Transfer
of the Warrant Shares by the
contemplated transferee thereof would not be exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, EGPI may require the
contemplated transferee to furnish EGPI with an investment letter setting forth
such information and agreements as may be reasonable requested by EGPI to ensure
compliance by such transferee with the Securities Act.
Each certificate evidencing the Warrant Shares will bear the following
legend:
