10. Revocability: Either Xxxxx or CWII may revoke this Agreement in its
------------
entirety during the seven days following execution of the Agreement by Xxxxx.
Any revocation of the Agreement must be in writing and hand-delivered during the

execution by Xxxxx, unless it is revoked during the seven-day period.
11. Confidences: Xxxxx will maintain the confidentiality of all of the
-----------
CWII Companies' trade secrets, proprietary information, insider information,
security procedures and other confidences that came into Xxxxx'x possession or
knowledge during employment by CWII. Xxxxx will not use such information
concerning the CWII Companies' business prospects or practices to profit Xxxxx
or others.
12. Property: Upon the effective date of his resignation, Xxxxx will
--------
promptly return any other property pertaining to his work with CWII, including
keys and credit cards, without request or demand by CWII.
13. Stock Options and Warrants. Effective as of August 12, 1997, CWII
--------------------------
adopted its
3
1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of CWII's employees,
directors and consultants. In the Plan, CWII granted Xxxxx options to purchase,
under certain conditions, up to 100,000 shares of CWII's common stock at an
exercise price of $1.30 per share. Among other conditions, the option grants to
Xxxxx and other persons are subject to approval of the Plan by CWII's
shareholders. A date has not been set for a meeting of CWII's shareholders to
consider the Plan.
Xxxxx and CWII agree that the grant to Xxxxx of options to purchase up to
100,000 shares of CWII's common stock pursuant to the Plan is cancelled and
that, except as described below, Xxxxx has no ownership of, or rights to, any
options, warrants or similar instruments relating to the acquisition by him of
shares of the capital stock of the CWII.
Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, CWII will issue a Warrant
to Xxxxx entitling Xxxxx to purchase up to 100,000 shares of CWII's common stock
at an exercise price of $1.30 per share. The exercise rights will vest
immediately and will not be subject to any future authorization by the Board of
Directors or shareholders of CWII. However, the Warrant may not be exercised by
Xxxxx unless and until the shareholders of CWII approve an increase in the
authorized common stock of CWII such that 100,000 shares of authorized, but
unissued shares of CWII's common stock will be available upon exercise of the
Warrant by Xxxxx. CWII can give no assurance that this will be accomplished or
that, if accomplished, it will be accomplished in a timely manner. The Warrant
will expire on August 11, 2001. Provided, that, if there are not sufficient
authorized, but unissued shares of CWII's common stock available for issuance
upon exercise of the Warrant granted to Xxxxx prior to August 11, 2001, the
expiration date of the Warrant will be extended to that date which is 30 days
after shareholder approval of such authorized, but unissued shares.
14. Proxy. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, Xxxxx will
-----
execute and deliver to Xxxxx Xxxxxx the Proxy (in the form attached as Exhibit A
to this Agreement). Xxxxx may make transfers of the CWII common stock owned by
him without regard to the Proxy if such transfers are made in public
transactions to persons not affiliated with Xxxxx. For example, if Xxxxx were
to transfer any of his CWII common stock to his wife, a condition of transfer
would be execution of a Proxy by his wife.
15. Loan from the Company to Xxxxx. CWII has loaned to Xxxxx $25,000. On
------------------------------
or before January 4, 1999, CWII will pay to Xxxxx a bonus of $39,968, and the
net amount of $25,000 shall be paid by Xxxxx to the Company in retirement of the
loan. At CWII's option the check to Xxxxx may be endorsed for repayment to
CWII, or any such other procedure as CWII may reasonably request. Upon such
repayment of the loan, CWII shall deliver the Note evidencing the $25,000 loan
to Xxxxx, marked "PAID."
16. Xxxxx Personal Guarantee. Xxxxx has personally guaranteed a debt
------------------------
obligation of CWII to Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. ("TAIS") made on
or about December 22, 1995. CWII agrees to indemnify Xxxxx for any claim, cause
of action, debt or liability resulting
4
in any way from that personal guarantee. CWII and Xxxxx acknowledge that CWII
and Xxxxx have requested TAIS to release Xxxxx from the personal guarantee. At
the request of TAIS, CWII has obtained, and owns, a policy of insurance on the
life of Xxxxx. CWII is obligated pursuant to its agreement with TAIS to hold
such policy, and to use the proceeds thereof, to repay the obligations of CWII
to TAIS. With the consent of TAIS, or the repayment of the obligation to TAIS,
CWII will assign to Xxxxx such policy.
17. Covenant Not to Compete. Xxxxx covenants and agrees that within a 75
-----------------------
mile radius of each of the cities of Phoenix, Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, Denver,
Colorado and Dallas, Texas, and for the duration of the Consulting Period,
except and to the extent and unless consented to and approved in writing by
CWII, he shall not directly or indirectly:
(a) work or act as a consultant or representative for, carry on or be
engaged in or connected with or interested in, advise, lend money to, guarantee
the debts and obligations of or permit his name or any part thereof to be used
or employed by any person or persons, partnership, firm, association, syndicate,
business entity or agency, company or corporation, engaged in or connected with
or interested in a business or operations substantially similar to those being
carried on by the Company;
(b) solicit business from customers and clients of the Company;
(c) do anything that may, directly or indirectly, adversely affect the
gross sales or profitability of the Company; and
(d) procure, solicit or entice employees of the Company. Nothing in
this Section shall be construed to prohibit Xxxxx from owning less than 5% of
the common stock or other investment securities of a public corporation which
competes with CWII, provided he doesn't work for that company.
18. References: The CWII Companies may respond to inquiries from third
----------
parties about Xxxxx'x employment with CWII by identifying Xxxxx'x date of hire,
date of resignation and position held at the time of termination of employment.
CWII will have no obligation to provide further information to prospective
employers of Xxxxx.
19. Entire Agreement; Amendments: This is the entire agreement concerning
----------------------------
the termination of Xxxxx'x employment with CWII. Xxxxx is not entitled to rely
upon any other written or oral offer or agreement with CWII. This Agreement can
be modified only by a document signed by both parties. Xxxxx acknowledges that
the only promises made to cause Xxxxx to sign this Agreement are those stated in
this Agreement.
20. Successors: This Agreement benefits and binds the parties'
----------
representatives and successors.

21. Governing Law and Severability of Power: This Agreement will be
---------------------------------------
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. If any
portion of this Agreement is unenforceable, the remaining portions of the
Agreement will remain enforceable.
22. Attorney Fees: CWII agrees to pay Xxxxx'x legal fees incurred in
-------------
negotiating and drafting this Agreement, in an amount not to exceed $5,000.
23. Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and

----------------------
final and binding waiver of any claims against CWII. Xxxxx acknowledges that he
was given 21 days to consider this Agreement and chose to sign the Agreement
prior to the expiration of the 21-day period. Xxxxx acknowledges that Xxxxx has
been told by CWII to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement.

VOID AFTER 3:00 P.M. CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME ON
AUGUST 11, 2001
WARRANT TO PURCHASE 100,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
COMMUNICATIONS WORLD INTERNATIONAL, INC.
No. W-RDO-1
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Communications World International, Inc. (the
"Company"), a Colorado corporation with its principal offices located at 0000
Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, #000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000, hereby certifies that
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, 00000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000 (the "Holder") is
entitled, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, to purchase from the
Company, at any time, or from time to time during the period commencing on the
date hereof and expiring at 3:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time, on August 11, 2001
(the "Expiration Date"), up to ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND (100,000) fully paid and
non-assessable Shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant Stock") at a price of $1.30
per share (the "Exercise Price"). The number of shares of Warrant Stock and the
Exercise Price may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth.
The Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant is issued, and all the
rights hereunder shall be held subject to, all of the conditions, limitations
and provisions set forth herein.
1. Exercise of Warrant.
-------------------
1.1 Exercise Procedures. Subject to the limitations set forth below
-------------------
in this Section 1 and in Section 6 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in
whole or in part, during the period expiring at 3:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time
on the Expiration Date or, if such day is a day on which banking institutions in
Denver, Colorado are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day
that shall not be such a day, by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to
the Company at its principal office, or at the office of its stock transfer
agent, if any, with the Warrant Exercise Form attached hereto duly executed and
accompanied by payment (either in cash or by certified or official bank check,
payable to the order of the Company) of the Exercise Price for the number of
shares specified in such form and instruments of transfer, if appropriate, duly
executed by the Holder or his or her duly authorized attorney. As soon as
practicable after each such exercise of the Warrants the Company shall issue and
deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Stock,
registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If this Warrant should be
exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for
cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the
Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. Upon
receipt by the Company of this Warrant, together with the Exercise Price, at its
office, or by the stock transfer agent of the Company at its office, in proper
form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the
shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the
stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such shares of Warrant Stock shall not then be actually delivered
to the Holder. The Holder shall pay any and all
-1-
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes and fees payable in
respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Warrant Stock on exercise of this
Warrant.
1.2 No Exercise Without Sufficient Authorized, Unissued Shares.
----------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, this Warrant may not
be exercised unless and until the Company has amended its Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized and unissued shares
of Common Stock to permit the exercise of this Warrant. Holder recognizes that
there can be no assurance that this will be accomplished or that, if
accomplished, it will be accomplished in a timely manner. The Company agrees
that if there are not sufficient authorized, but unissued shares of Common Stock
available for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant prior to July 12, 2001, the
Expiration Date will be extended to that date which is thirty days after
shareholder approval of the amendment to Articles of Incorporation to increase
the authorized shares of Common Stock.
2. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a
-----------------
fractional share upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the aggregate
number of shares issuable will be rounded up or down to the nearest full share.
3. Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant shall not be transferable
--------------------------
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable
during the Holder's lifetime only by the Holder.
4. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
--------------------
entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in
equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this
Warrant.
5. Anti-Dilution Provisions.
------------------------
5.1 Adjustment for Recapitalization. If the Company shall at any time
-------------------------------
subdivide all its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or other securities at the
time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant) by recapitalization,
reclassification or split-up thereof, or if the Company shall declare a stock
dividend or distribute shares of Common Stock to all of its stockholders without
receipt of cash payment or other valid consideration, the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision shall
be proportionately increased, and if the Company shall at any time combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification or
combination thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this
Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately
decreased. Any such adjustment and adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to
this Section 6.1 shall be effective at the close of business on the effective
date of such subdivision or combination or if any adjustment is the result of a
stock dividend or distribution then the effective date for such adjustment based
thereon shall be the record date therefor.
Whenever the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon
the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the
Exercise Price shall be
-2-
adjusted to the nearest cent by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately
prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon the exercise immediately
prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Warrant Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
5.2 Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In
---------------------------------------------------------
case of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation, the
securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant)
or if the Company (or any such other corporation) shall consolidate with or
merge into another corporation or convey all or substantially all of its assets
to another corporation, then, and in each such case, the Holder of this Warrant
upon the exercise thereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall
be entitled to receive, in lieu of the securities and property receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the securities or
property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if
such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto; in each such
case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the securities or
property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
6. Restrictions on Exercise Imposed by Federal and State Securities Laws.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Holder hereby acknowledges that neither this Warrant nor any of the securities
that may be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant have been registered under
the 1933 Act or under the securities laws of any state. The Holder acknowledges
that, upon exercise of this Warrant, the securities to be issued upon such
exercise may come under applicable federal and state securities (or other) laws
requiring registration, qualification or approval of governmental authorities
before such securities may be validly issued or delivered upon notice of such
exercise. With respect to any such securities, this Warrant may not be
exercised by, and securities shall not be issued to, any Holder in which such
exercise would be unlawful. As a condition to exercise, the Company may require
the Holder to sign a representation letter confirming compliance with this
Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and other applicable
laws, and may require the Holder to provide an opinion of counsel that the
exercise and issuance of the Warrant Stock will not violate law, such counsel
and such opinion to be satisfactory to the Company and its counsel.
7. Legend. Unless the shares of Warrant Stock have been registered under
------
the 1933 Act, upon exercise of any of the Warrants and the issuance of any of
the shares of Warrant Stock, all certificates representing shares shall bear on
the face thereof substantially the following legend, as well as any other
legends necessary to comply with applicable state and federal laws for the
issuance of such shares:
"The shares represented by this Certificate have not been registered
under the United States Securities Act of 1933 ("the 1933 Act") and are
"restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the 0000 Xxx.
The shares may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or pursuant
to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act the availability of which
is to be established to the satisfaction of the Company."
-3-
8. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be in writing and shall
-------
be deemed given when telegraphed, delivered personally or within five days after
mailing when mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
at the address of such party as set forth on the first page, or at such other
address of which the Company or Holder has been advised by notice hereunder.
9. Applicable Law. This Warrant is issued under and shall for all purposes
--------------
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Colorado.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed on its
behalf, in its corporate name, by its duly authorized officer, all as of the day
