"A" -TO THE WARRANT
NOTICE OF
EXERCISE
(To be
signed only upon exercise of the Warrant)
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.
5.
Holder
agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, gift, create a security 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

legend:
