first anniversary of the date hereof, at any time on or after the first
anniversary of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the above, this Warrant shall
terminate at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard time, on December 31, 2006 (the "Exercise Period").
3. METHOD OF CASH EXERCISE
This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part by delivering to the
Company (a) the form of Notice of Cash Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit D
duly completed and executed by the Holder, (b) this Warrant certificate, and (c)
a bank check payable to the Company in the amount of the Exercise Price
multiplied by the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised
(the "Purchase Price"), or a Notarized dully executed copy of a resolution of the BOD of AMERICAN PLASTIC PROCESSING PRODUCTS, INC. to convert the in its entirety or in part the indebtedness of GLOBAL TECH INTERNATIONAL, INC. into common shares of equity stock of either GLOBAL TECH INTERNATIONAL, INC., or its parent company, or under the terms of Reorganization as described in Section 7. and if so inclined by the BOD of AMERICAN PLASTIC PROCESSING PRODUCT, INC.
4. NET ISSUANCE RIGHT
Notwithstanding the payment provisions set forth above, the Holder may
elect to convert this Warrant into shares of Warrant Stock by surrendering this
Warrant to the Company and delivering to the Company the Notice of Net Issuance
Exercise attached as Exhibit D duly completed and executed by the Holder, in
which case the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Warrant
Stock of the Company equal to the result obtained by (a) subtracting B from A,
(b) multiplying the difference by C, and (c) dividing the product by A as set
forth in the following equation:
X = (A - B) x C where:
-----------
A
X = the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon
net issuance exercise pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 4.
A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one
share of Warrant Stock on the date of net issuance
exercise.
B = the Exercise Price for one share of Warrant Stock
under this Warrant.
C = the number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which
this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the
provisions of this Warrant.
If the foregoing calculation results in a negative number, then no
shares of Warrant Stock shall be issued upon net issuance exercise pursuant to
this Section 4.
"Fair Market Value" of a share of Warrant Stock shall mean:
(a) if the net issuance exercise is in connection with a transaction
specified in Section 7, the value of the consideration (determined, in the case
of noncash consideration, in good faith by the Company's BOD) to
be received pursuant to such transaction by the holder of one share of Warrant
Stock;
(b) if the net issuance exercise is in connection with the initial
public offering of the Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), the initial
public offering price (before deducting commission, discounts or expenses) at
which the Common Stock is sold in such offering;
(c) if the net issuance exercise is after the occurrence of the initial
public offering of the Company's Common Stock:
(i) if the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange or
is quoted on a Domestic or Overseas Market, the average of the closing or last sale
price reported for the ten (10) business days immediately preceding the date of
net issuance exercise;
(ii) if the Company's Common Stock is not traded on an
Exchange, but is traded in the over-the-counter market, the mean of the closing bid and asked prices reported for the ten (10) market days immediately preceding the date of net issuance exercise; and
(d) In all other cases, the fair value as determined in good faith by
the Company's BOD; provided that if the net issuance exercise
occurs within 30 days after a private transaction in which the Company sells
equity securities, the fair value shall be the price at which such equity
securities were sold in such private transaction.
Upon net issuance exercise in accordance with this Section 4, the
Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company a stock certificate in
proper form representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock determined in
accordance with the foregoing.
5. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATE
Within twenty days after the exercise of this Warrant (in full or in
part) and payment of the Purchase Price, the Company or its Parent Company (or under the terms of Reorganization in Section 7. herein) and (at the discretion of Holder of said Warrant ) shall issue in the name of and deliver to the Holder (a) a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise and (b) a new Warrant of like tenor to purchase up to that number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, not previously purchased by the Holder. The Holder shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Warrant Stock on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Stock; provided that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Warrant Stock at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
6. RESERVATION OF WARRANT STOCK
The Company covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times
have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
7. EFFECT OF REORGANIZATION
Upon a merger, consolidation, acquisition of all or substantially all
of the property or stock, liquidation or other reorganization of the Company
(collectively, a "Reorganization") during the Exercise Period, as a result of
which the shareholders of the Company receive cash, stock or other property in
exchange for their shares of Warrant Stock, lawful provision shall be made so
that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this
Warrant, the number of shares of securities of the successor corporation
resulting from such Reorganization (and cash and other property) to which a
holder of the Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would have
been entitled in such Reorganization if this Warrant had been exercised
immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate
adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's BOD)
shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect
to the rights and interest of the Holder after the Reorganization to the end
that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustments of the Exercise Price
and the number and type of securities purchasable pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant) shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in
relation to any shares deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
8. ADJUSTMENT TO WARRANT
8.1 ADJUSTMENT TO NUMBER OF SHARES
Upon each adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 8,
the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted,
to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying such number
of shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Exercise Price
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately
prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise
Price immediately thereafter.
8.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK SPLIT, ETC.
If the Company shall issue any shares of its common stock as a stock
dividend or subdivide the number of outstanding shares of common stock into a
greater number of shares, then, in either such case, the Exercise Price in
effect before such dividend or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and
the number of shares of Warrant Stock at that time purchasable pursuant to this
Warrant shall be proportionately increased; and, conversely, if the Company
shall contract the number of outstanding shares of common stock by combining
such shares into a smaller number of shares, then the Exercise Price in effect
before such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of
shares of Warrant Stock at that time purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall
be proportionately decreased.
9. OTHER ADJUSTMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS
9.1 ADJUSTMENTS FOR CORPORATE FINANCING RULE
If the Holder believes that all or any portion of this Warrant or of
any securities or other property to be issued or transferred to Holder upon
exercise of this Warrant would constitute underwriting compensation pursuant to
NASD Rule 2710 (or any successor or substitute for said rule) (the "Corporate
Financing Rule"), then Holder, at Holder's sole option, may, by giving written
notice thereof to the Company, increase the Exercise Price for exercise of this
Warrant to an increased Exercise Price determined by Holder or decrease the
number of Shares (or other securities or the amount of other property) subject
to this Warrant to such decreased number of Shares (or other securities or
amount of other property) determined by Holder, or both.
9.2 RESTRICTIONS PURSUANT TO CORPORATE FINANCING RULE
If Holder serves as an underwriter for any public offering for the
Company for which the NASD determines that this Warrant is wholly or partially
included as underwriting compensation for Holder in connection with such
underwriting, then this Warrant and any Shares or other securities subject to
this Warrant shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated,
except as permitted by the Corporate Financing Rule, for a period of one (1)
year following the effective date of the offering, and any certificates hereafter issued representing this Warrant or any Shares or other securities subject to this Warrant shall bear an appropriate legend describing this restriction and stating the time period for which this restriction is applicable.
5
10. FRACTIONAL SHARES
No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.
In lieu of fractional shares, the Company shall pay the Holder a sum in cash
equal to the fair market value of the fractional shares (as determined by the
Company's BOD) on the date of exercise.
11. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
Neither this Warrant nor any securities purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant may be transferred unless (a) such transfer is registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and any applicable
state securities or blue sky laws, (b) the Company has received a legal opinion
reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the transfer is exempt
from the prospectus delivery and registration requirements of the Securities Act

placed on this Warrant, any replacement hereof and any certificate representing
a security issued pursuant to the exercise hereof, and a stop transfer
restriction or order shall be placed on the books of the Company and with any
transfer agent until such securities may be legally sold or otherwise
transferred.
13. HOLDER AS OWNER
The Company may deem and treat the Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for all purposes regardless of any notice to the contrary.

other rights as a shareholder of the Company or to any other rights whatsoever
except the rights stated herein; and no dividend or interest shall be payable or
shall accrue in respect of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock purchasable
hereunder unless, until and to the extent that this Warrant shall be exercised.

Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington. The
descriptive headings of the several sections of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions thereof.
16. EXPIRATION

cease unless exercised during the Exercise Period. All restrictions set forth
herein on the shares of capital stock issued upon exercise of any rights
hereunder shall survive such exercise and expiration of the rights granted
hereunder.
17. EXCEPTIONS

the office of the Company for new Warrants of like tenor representing in the
aggregate the rights to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares which
