                      CLASS A COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

                    GUARDIAN TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.

         This is to  certify  that,  subject to the  provisions  of this Class A
Common  Stock  Purchase   Warrant  (the   "Warrant")  and  for  value  received,
_____________________________   (the   "Holder"),   is   entitled   to  purchase
____________________________ (_____) shares of common stock, $.001 par value per
share (the  "Common  Stock"),  subject to  adjustment  as set forth  herein,  of
Guardian   Technologies   International,   Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the
"Company"),  at an exercise  price of Two Dollars  Sixty Five Cents  ($2.65) per
share,  subject to adjustment as set forth herein (the "Exercise Price"), at any
time during the period beginning ______________, 2004 (the "Exercise Date"), and
ending  eighteen (18) months after  ___________________,  2004 (the  "Expiration
Date"),  but not later than 5:00 p.m.  Eastern  Standard Time on the  Expiration
Date. This Warrant is part of a unit or units of securities  being issued by the
Company,  each unit  consisting  of four (4) shares of Common  Stock and one (1)
Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant of the Company.

         1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.  Subject to the  provisions of Section 9 below,
this  Warrant may be  exercised  in whole or in part at any time or from time to
time on or after the  Exercise  Date and until the  Expiration  Date;  provided,
however,  that if either of such days is a day on which banking institutions are
authorized by law to close (a "Bank  Holiday"),  then on the next succeeding day
which shall not be a Bank Holiday.

                                       5

                  (a) METHOD OF  EXERCISE.  This  Warrant  may be  exercised  by
presentation  and surrender  hereof to the Company at its principal office or at
the  office  of  its  transfer  agent,  if  any  (the  "Transfer  Agent").   The
presentation  and surrender of this Warrant for exercise must be accompanied by:
(i) the form of  subscription  which is attached hereto in Annex A (the "Form of
Subscription") duly executed with signature guaranteed;  and (ii) payment of the
aggregate  Exercise  Price for the number of shares  specified in such form.  If
this Warrant should be exercised in part only, upon  presentation  and surrender
of this  Warrant to the  Company or the  Transfer  Agent for  cancellation,  the
Company  shall  execute and deliver a new warrant  evidencing  the rights of the
Holder to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt
of this  Warrant by the  Company at its office or by the  Transfer  Agent at its
office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder
of record of the Common Stock  issuable upon such exercise;  provided,  however,
that if at the date of surrender  of such  Warrant and payment of the  aggregate
Exercise  Price,  the transfer  books for the Common Stock shall be closed,  the
certificates  representing  the  Common  Stock or other  securities  subject  to
issuance  upon  such  exercise  shall be  issuable  as of the date on which  the
Company's  transfer  books  shall next be opened.  Until such date,  the Company
shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate representing such Common Stock
or other  securities  and the Holder shall not be deemed to have become a holder
of record or owner of such Common Stock or such other securities.

                  (b) FORMS OF PAYMENT AUTHORIZED: Payment of the Exercise Price
may be made in cash or by certified or bank cashier's check.

         2.  RESERVATION  OF SHARES.  There shall at all times be  reserved  for
issuance  upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock as
shall be subject hereto.

         3. FRACTIONAL SHARES.  Notwithstanding  any other provision hereof, the
Company  shall not be required to issue  fractional  shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of this Warrant.  If any fraction of a share would,  except for the
provisions  hereof, be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant,  then: (a) if
the fraction of a share  otherwise  issuable is equal to or less than  one-half,
the Company  shall round down and issue only the largest  whole number of shares
of  Common  Stock to which  the  Holder  is  otherwise  entitled,  or (b) if the
fraction of a share  otherwise  issuable is greater than  one-half,  the Company
shall round up and issue one additional share of Common Stock in addition to the
largest  whole number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is otherwise
entitled.

         4.  EXCHANGE,  TRANSFER  OR  ASSIGNMENT  OF  WARRANT.  Subject  to  the
provisions  of  this  Section  4  and  of  Section  9  below,  this  Warrant  is
exchangeable,  without expense,  at the option of the Holder,  upon presentation
and surrender hereof to the Company or the Transfer Agent, for other warrants of
different  denominations  entitling  the  holder  thereof  to  purchase  in  the
aggregate  the same  number of shares of  Common  Stock  purchasable  hereunder.
Subject  to the  provisions  of this  Section  4 and of  Section  9 below,  upon
surrender of this Warrant to the Company or the Transfer Agent  accompanied  by:
(a) the form of  assignment  which is  attached  hereto as Annex B (the "Form of
Assignment")  duly executed;  and (b) funds  sufficient to pay any transfer tax,
the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new warrant in the name
of the assignee  named in the Form of Assignment and this Warrant shall promptly
be canceled.  This Warrant may be divided or combined with other  warrants which
carry the same rights upon  presentation  hereof at the office of the Company or
the Transfer Agent,  accompanied by a written notice signed by the Holder hereof
specifying the names and denominations in which new warrants are to be issued.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         The term "Warrant" as defined above shall hereafter include any warrant
into which this Warrant may be divided,  exchanged or combined,  and any Warrant
as the same may be hereafter modified or amended from time to time.

         5. THEFT,  DESTRUCTION,  LOSS OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT.  Subject to the
provisions  of  Section  4, in the  event  of the  theft,  destruction,  loss or
mutilation of this Warrant, upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory
to it of such theft,  destruction,  loss or mutilation and, in the case of loss,
theft  or  destruction,  of  such  indemnification  as  the  Company  may in its
discretion  impose,   and  in  the  case  of  mutilation,   upon  surrender  and
cancellation  of this  Warrant,  the  Company  shall  execute  and deliver a new
warrant of like tenor and date.

         6.  RIGHTS  OF THE  HOLDER.  Prior  to  the  exercise  of  any  Warrant
represented  hereby,  the Holder  shall not be entitled by virtue  hereof to any
rights of a stockholder in the Company,  either at law or equity.  The rights of
the Holder are limited to those  expressed in this  Warrant and are  enforceable
against the Company only to the extent set forth herein.

         7. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. The Exercise Price and the number and kind
of securities  purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided:

                  (a) In case the Company  shall issue shares of Common Stock as
a dividend upon shares of Common Stock or in payment of a dividend  thereon,  or
shall  subdivide  the number of  outstanding  shares of its Common  Stock into a
greater number of shares or shall  contract the number of outstanding  shares of
its Common  Stock into a lesser  number of shares,  the  Exercise  Price then in
effect shall be adjusted,  effective at the close of business on the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the same, to the price
(computed to the nearest cent)  determined by dividing (i) the product  obtained
by multiplying  the Exercise Price in effect  immediately  prior to the close of
business on such record date by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
prior to such dividend, subdivision or contraction, by (ii) the number of shares
of Common Stock  outstanding  immediately after such dividend,  subdivision,  or
contraction.

                  (b) If any capital  reorganization or  reclassification of the
capital stock of the Company,  or consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another corporation,  or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets
to  another  corporation  shall  be  effected,  then,  as a  condition  of  such
reorganization,  reclassification,  consolidation,  merger or sale,  lawful  and
adequate  provision  shall be made  whereby  the  holder of this  Warrant  shall
thereafter  have the right to purchase  and receive  upon the basis and upon the
terms and  conditions  specified  in this  Warrant  and in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock of the Company immediately  theretofore  purchasable and receivable
upon the  exercise of the rights  represented  by this  Warrant,  such shares of
stock,  securities  or assets as may be issued or payable  with respect to or in
exchange for a number of  outstanding  shares of such Common  Stock  immediately
theretofore   purchasable  and  receivable  upon  the  exercise  of  the  rights
represented   by  this  Warrant  had  such   reorganization,   reclassification,
consolidation,  merger or sale not taken place, and in any such case appropriate
provision  shall be made with respect to the rights and  interests of the Holder

                                       7
<PAGE>

to the end that the provisions of this Warrant  (including,  without limitation,
provisions  for  adjustment of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares of
Common Stock or other  securities  issuable  upon the exercise of this  Warrant)
shall  thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be  practicable  in relation to
any shares of stock, securities,  or assets thereafter deliverable upon exercise
of this Warrant. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation,  merger or
sale  unless  prior to or  simultaneously  with the  consummation  thereof,  the
successor   corporation  (if  other  than  the  Company)   resulting  from  such
consolidation or merger or the corporation  purchasing such assets shall assume,
by written  instrument,  the  obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of
stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the
Holder may be entitled to purchase;  and such successor corporation agrees to be
bound by the  provisions  of Section 8 hereof  with  respect  to any  securities
issued pursuant to such consolidation, merger or purchase of assets.

                  (c)  Upon  each  adjustment  of the  Exercise  Price  pursuant
hereto,  the number of shares of Common Stock  specified  in this Warrant  shall
thereupon  evidence the right to purchase  that number of shares of Common Stock
(calculated  to the nearest  hundredth of a share of Common  Stock)  obtained by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the  number  of shares of Common  Stock  purchasable  immediately  prior to such
adjustment upon exercise of this Warrant and dividing the product so obtained by
the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment.

                  (d)  Irrespective  of any adjustments of the number or kind of
securities  issuable  upon exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise  Price,  any
warrants  theretofore  or  thereafter  issued may  continue  to express the same
number of shares of Common  Stock and  Exercise  Price as are  stated in similar
warrants previously issued.

                  (e)  The  Company  may,  at  its  sole   option,   retain  the
independent public accounting firm regularly retained by the Company, or another
firm of independent  public  accountants of recognized  standing selected by the
Company's board of directors (the "Board of Directors"), to make any computation
required  under  this  section  and a  certificate  signed by such firm shall be
conclusive evidence of any computation made under this section.

                  (f) Whenever  there is an  adjustment  in the  Exercise  Price
and/or in the  number  or kind of  securities  issuable  upon  exercise  of this
Warrant, as provided herein, the Company shall: (i) promptly file in the custody
of its Secretary or Assistant  Secretary a certificate signed by the Chairman of
the Board of Directors or the  President of the Company and by the  Treasurer or
an  Assistant  Treasurer  or the  Secretary  or an  Assistant  Secretary  of the
Company,  showing in detail the facts  requiring such  adjustment and the number

                                       8
<PAGE>

and kind of  securities  issuable  upon  exercise  of this  Warrant  after  such
adjustment;  and (ii) cause a notice to be sent to the Holder  stating that such
adjustment  has been effected and stating the Exercise  Price then in effect and
the number and kind of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

                  (g) The Exercise Price and the number of shares  issuable upon
exercise  of this  Warrant  shall  only be  adjusted  in the manner and upon the
conditions heretofore  specifically referred to in Subsections 7(a) through 7(f)
above.

                  (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made
pursuant to this  Section 7 from:  (i) options and  warrants,  and Common  Stock
issued upon  exercise of options and warrants,  granted to employees,  officers,
directors,  consultants  and  other  services  providers,  or  pursuant  to  the
Company's  Amended and Restated 2003 Stock  Incentive Plan or stock incentive or
stock option plans and employee  benefit or  compensation  plans  heretofore  or
hereafter adopted,  (ii) the conversion of convertible  securities or derivative
securities  approved by the Board of  Directors  of the  Company,  (iii)  Common
Stock,  warrants and options granted to vendors,  banks,  lenders, and equipment
lessors,  and other third  parties  the  primary  purpose of which is other than
capital  raising,  (iv) in an offering  registered under the Securities Act, (v)
upon  conversion of any shares of Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock or other
series of  preferred  stock  heretofore  or  hereafter  adopted  by the Board of
Directors of the Company,  (vi)  acquisitions by the Company or its subsidiaries
of  assets  or  equity   securities  of  third   parties,   or  (vii)   mergers,
consolidations, joint ventures, or other business combinations by the Company or
any subsidiary with a third party.

         8.  REGISTRATION  RIGHTS.  The Company  hereby  covenants and agrees as
follows:

                  (a)  DEFINITIONS.  As used in this  Section  8, the  following
terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

                           (i)   The   terms   "register,"    "registered"   and
"registration" shall refer to a registration effected by
preparing and filing a registration  statement or similar document in compliance
with  the  Securities  Act of  1933,  as  amended  ("Securities  Act"),  and the
declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such  registration  statement or
document.

                           (ii) The term  "Registrable  Securities"  shall mean:
(A) the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
upon  exercise  of this  Warrant;  and (B) any other  securities  of the Company
issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant,  right or
other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect
to, in exchange for or in replacement  of the shares of Common Stock  referenced
in (A)  immediately  above,  excluding in all cases,  however,  any  Registrable
Securities  sold to the public  pursuant to a registration  under the Securities
Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.

                  (b)  PIGGY-BACK  REGISTRATION  RIGHTS.  In the event that (but
without any obligation to do so) during the eighteen (18) month period following
the Issue Date, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the
Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities  solely
for cash (other than a registration on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any form which does
not  include  substantially  the same  information  as would be  required  to be
included  in a  registration  statement  covering  the  sale of the  Registrable
Securities),  the  Company  shall  promptly  give the Holder of the  Registrable
Securities written notice of such registration (the "Piggy-Back  Notice").  Upon

                                       9
<PAGE>

the written request of the Holder given within twenty (20) days after receipt of
such  Piggy-Back  Notice from the  Company,  the Company  shall,  subject to the
provisions of Subsections 8(h), 8(i) and 8(j) below, cause to be included in the
registration  statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act all of the
Registrable Securities that the Holder has requested to be registered; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER,  that the Company shall have no such  obligation  if such  registration
statement  relates to an  underwritten  offering by the Company and the managing
underwriter  of the subject  offering has  expressed in writing its objection to
the  same  to the  Company.  To the  extent  that  the  Holder  is  offered  the
opportunity  hereunder  to  include  all  of  its  Registrable  Securities  in a
registration  statement,  such Holder will be deemed to have  exercised its sole
piggy-back  registration  right  provided by this  Subsection  8(b),  unless the
Holder has been  denied the right to  participate  in such  registration  by the
managing underwriter of the registration, pursuant to this section.

                  (c) FURNISH INFORMATION.  It shall be a condition precedent to
the  obligations  of the  Company to take any action  pursuant  hereto  that the
Holder,   having  chosen  to  have  its  Registrable   Securities  included  for
registration,  shall  furnish to the  Company  such  information  regarding  the
Holder,  its  Registrable  Securities and the intended  method of disposition of
such securities as shall be required to effect the registration thereof. In that
connection,  the Holder  shall be required to  represent to the Company that all
such  information  which is given  is  complete  and  accurate  in all  material
respects.  The Holder  shall  deliver to the Company a statement in writing from
the beneficial  owners of such securities that such beneficial  owners bona fide
intend to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such securities.

                  (d) DEFINITION OF EXPENSES.

(i)  "REGISTRATION  EXPENSES" shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in
complying  with  Subsections  8(b) hereof,  including  without  limitation,  all
registration  and filing fees,  printing  expenses,  fees and  disbursements  of
counsel for the Company,  "Blue Sky" fees and  expenses,  and the expense of any
special audits incident to or required by any such  registration  (but excluding
the compensation of regular  employees of the Company which shall be paid in any
event by the Company).

(ii) "SELLING  EXPENSES" shall mean all  underwriting  discounts,  underwriters'
expense allowance, and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable
Securities by the Holder and all fees and  disbursements  of any special counsel
(other than the Company's regular counsel).

                  (e)  EXPENSE  OF  REGISTRATION.   All  Registration   Expenses
incurred  in  connection  with any  registration,  qualification  or  compliance
herewith, shall be borne by the Company, and all Selling Expenses shall be borne
by the Holder of the  Registrable  Securities,  except in the case of legal fees
incurred by the Holder,  which shall be paid by the Holder regardless of whether
the securities registered hereunder have in fact been sold.


                                       10
<PAGE>

                  (f)  UNDERWRITING   REQUIREMENTS.   The  Holder  proposing  to
distribute  its  Registrable  Securities  through an  underwriting  in which the
Company has proposed or is proposing to  participate,  shall  (together with the
Company  and any  other  holders  distributing  their  securities  through  such
underwriting)  enter into an  underwriting  agreement in customary form with the
underwriter  or   underwriters   selected  for   underwriting  by  the  Company.
Notwithstanding  any other  provision  of this  section,  at the  request of the
managing  underwriter,  the  Holder  shall  delay  the  sale of the  Registrable
Securities  which such Holder has requested to be registered  under this section
for the  thirty  (30)  day  period  commencing  with the  effective  date of the
registration  statement.  If any  Holder  disapproves  of the  terms of any such
underwriting,  such Holder may elect to withdraw  therefrom by written notice to
the  Company  and  the  underwriter.  Any  Registrable  Securities  excluded  or
withdrawn from such  underwriting  shall not be withdrawn from such registration
except at the election of the Holder.

                  (g) DELAY OF  REGISTRATION.  No Holder shall have any right to
obtain  or seek  an  injunction  restraining  or  otherwise  delaying  any  such
registration as the result of any  controversy  that might arise with respect to
the interpretation or implementation of this section.

                  (h)  INDEMNIFICATION.   In  the  event  that  any  Registrable
Securities are included in a registration statement pursuant hereto:

                  (i) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless the Holder, the officers, directors, attorneys and partners of
the Holder,  any  underwriter  (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Holder
and each  person or entity,  if any,  that  controls  the Holder or  underwriter
within the  meaning of the  Securities  Act or the  Exchange  Act,  against  any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which he may become
subject  under the  Securities  Act, the Exchange Act or other  Federal or state
law,  insofar as such  losses,  claims,  damages or  liabilities  (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations (collectively,  a "Violation"): (A) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue  statement of a material fact  contained in such  registration
statement,  including any preliminary  prospectus or final prospectus  contained
therein or any  amendments or supplements  thereto;  (B) the omission or alleged
omission to state  therein a material  fact  required to be stated  therein,  or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (C) any violation or
alleged  violation by the Company of the  Securities  Act, the Exchange Act, any
applicable state securities law or any rule or regulation  promulgated under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any applicable state securities law; and the
Company will reimburse each such Holder, officer, director, attorney or partner,
underwriter or any controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection  with  investigating  or defending any such loss,
claim,  damage,  liability  or action;  provided,  however,  that the  indemnity
agreement  contained  in this  subsection  shall  not apply to  amounts  paid in
settlement  of any  such  loss,  claim,  damage,  liability  or  action  if such
settlement is effected without

                                       11
<PAGE>

the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be  unreasonably  withheld),
nor shall the  Company  be  liable  in any such case for any such  loss,  claim,
damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon
a  Violation  which  occurs in  reliance  upon and in  conformity  with  written
information  furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by
the Holder,  underwriter or controlling  person; and further provided,  however,
that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar
as it relates to any untrue  statement,  alleged untrue  statement,  omission or
alleged  omission made in any preliminary  prospectus but eliminated or remedied
in the definitive  prospectus,  such indemnity  agreement shall not inure to the
benefit of any  underwriter  or broker  (or the  benefit of any person or entity
that  controls  such  underwriter  or  broker),  if a  copy  of  the  definitive
prospectus  was  not  sent  or  given  to  such  person  with  or  prior  to the
confirmation of the sale of such securities to such person or entity.

                  (ii) To the extent  permitted by law, each selling Holder will
indemnify  and hold  harmless the Company,  its  directors,  its  officers,  its
attorneys,  any person  who  controls  the  Company  within  the  meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, any  underwriter  (within the meaning of the
Securities  Act) for the Company,  any person who (or entity that) controls such
underwriter  against  any  losses,  claims,  damages  or  liabilities  (joint or
several) to which the Company or any such director,  officer,  or underwriter or
controlling person (or entity) may become subject, under the Securities Act, the
Exchange  Act or other  Federal or state law,  insofar as such  losses,  claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based
upon any  Violation,  in each case to the extent (and only to the  extent)  that
such  Violation   occurs  in  reliance  upon  and  in  conformity  with  written
information  furnished by the Holder  expressly for use in connection  with such
registration;  and the  Holder  will  reimburse  any  legal  or  other  expenses
reasonably  incurred by the  Company or any such  director,  officer,  attorney,
underwriter,  or  controlling  person (or entity)  thereof,  in connection  with
investigating or defending any such loss,  claim,  damage,  liability or action;
provided,  however,  that the indemnity  agreement  contained in this subsection
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,  claim,  damage,
liability or action if such  settlement  is effected  without the consent of the
Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                  (iii)  Promptly  after receipt by an  indemnified  party under
this Subsection 8(h) of notice of the commencement of any action  (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying  party under this Subsection 8(h), notify
the  indemnifying  party  in  writing  of  the  commencement   thereof  and  the
indemnifying  party shall have the right to  participate  in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying  party so desires,  jointly with any other  indemnifying  party
similarly  notified,  to  assume  the  defense  thereof  with  counsel  mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided,  however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own  counsel,  with  reasonable  fees and  expenses
thereof  to be  paid  by the  indemnifying  party,  if  representation  of  such
indemnified  party by the counsel  retained by the  indemnifying  party would be
inappropriate  due to actual  or  potential  differing  interests  between  such
indemnified  party and any  other  party  represented  by such  counsel  in such
proceeding. The failure to notify an indemnifying party within a reasonable time
of the commencement of any such action, to the extent prejudicial to its ability
to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified  party under this Subsection 8(h), but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying  party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to

                  (i) REPORTS  UNDER  EXCHANGE  ACT.  With a view toward  making
available  to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 under the  Securities  Act and
any other rule or  regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to
sell securities of the Company to the public without  registration,  the Company
agrees, upon such registration, to:

(i) use its best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times; and

(ii) use its best  efforts to file with the SEC in a timely  manner all  reports
and other  documents  required of the Company under the  Securities  Act and the
Exchange Act.

                  (j) TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATIONS.

         Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Company shall
not be required to effect any registration under the Securities Act or under any
state  securities  laws on behalf of any Holder or Holders if, in the opinion of
counsel for the  Company,  the offering or transfer by such Holder or Holders in
the manner proposed (including without limitation, the number of shares proposed
to be offered or  transferred  and the method of offering or transfer) is exempt
from the  registration  requirements of the Securities Act and the securities or
"Blue Sky" laws of applicable states.

                  (k) HOLDER'S  ACCEPTANCE  OF  OBLIGATIONS.  Acceptance of this
Warrant  by  its  Holder(s)  shall  be  deemed  to  constitute  the  unqualified
acceptance by the Holder of all of the terms and conditions set forth herein.

                  (l) LOCK-UP.  If requested by the managing  underwriter  of an
underwritten offering by the Company for cash, the Holder agrees that the Holder
will not offer, sell, contract to sell,  transfer,  assign,  hypothecate,  gift,
grant any option or warrant to purchase or right to acquire  this Warrant or any
of the shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant,   during  the  twelve  (12)  months   following  the  closing  of  such
underwritten  public  offering,  without  the  prior  written  consent  of  such
underwriter,  and the Holder  will  permit  this  Warrant  and all  certificates
evidencing the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant to be
stamped with an  appropriate  restrictive  legend and will cause the warrant and
transfer agent for the Company to note such  restrictions  on the transfer books
and records of the Company;  and the Holder  shall enter into an agreement  with
respect to the foregoing with the Company and any such  underwriter at or before
the closing of such public offering.

         9.  TRANSFER TO COMPLY  WITH THE  SECURITIES  ACT AND OTHER  APPLICABLE
SECURITIES  LAWS.  Neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock (or other
securities)  issuable  upon  exercise  hereof  have  been  registered  under the
Securities Act or under state securities  laws.  Except as provided in Section 4
above:  (a) this Warrant may not be  transferred,  assigned,  pledged,  sold, or
otherwise  disposed of; and (b) the shares of Common Stock (or other securities)
issuable  upon  exercise  of  this  Warrant  may not be  transferred,  assigned,
pledged,  sold or otherwise  disposed of in the absence of registration under or
exemption from the applicable provisions of the Securities Act unless the Holder
provides  the  Company  with  an  opinion  of  counsel  in  form  and  substance
satisfactory  to the  Company  (together  with such  other  representations  and

                                       13
<PAGE>

warranties as the Company may request) that the shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable,  as  applicable,   upon  exercise  of  this  Warrant  may  be  legally
transferred  without  violating  the  Securities  Act, and any other  applicable
securities  law and then only against  receipt of an agreement of the transferee
(in  form  and  substance  satisfactory  to the  Company)  to  comply  with  the
provisions  of this section with respect to any resale or other  disposition  of
such securities.


         10. NOTICES.  Any notices,  consents,  waivers, or other communications
required  or  permitted  to be given  hereunder  must be in writing  and will be
deemed to have been  delivered  personally:  (a) upon  receipt,  when  delivered
personally; (b) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile,  provided a copy is mailed
by U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested; (c) three (3) days after being

deposit with a nationally  recognized  overnight delivery service,  in each such
case  properly  addressed to the party to receive the same.  The  addresses  and
facsimile  numbers  for such  communications  shall be: if to the Holder of this
Warrant,  at the  address  and  facsimile  number of the  Holder as shown on the
registry  books  maintained  by the Company,  its transfer  agent or the Warrant
Agent;  and if to the Company,  to Guardian  Technologies  International,  Inc.,
21351 Ridgetop Circle, Dulles, Virginia 20166, attention:  CEO, facsimile number
(703) 654-6005.


         11. SURVIVAL. All agreements, covenants, representations and warranties
set forth herein shall  survive the  execution  and delivery of this Warrant and
any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of any parties hereto and the
exercise and purchase of this Warrant.


         12.   AMENDMENTS.   The  Company  may,  in  its  sole  discretion,   by
supplemental  agreement or pursuant to an amended warrant  certificate issued in
exchange  for this  Warrant  make any  changes or  corrections  to the terms and
conditions hereof which it deems appropriate in order to (a) reduce the Exercise
Price; (b) extend the Expiration Date of this Warrant; (c) cure any ambiguity or
to correct any defective or inconsistent  provision or manifest mistake or error
herein  contained;  (d) modify  such other  terms and  conditions  hereof  which
modification,  in the  judgment  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  provides,  when
considered under the totality of the circumstances a net benefit to or which, in
the  exercise of such  judgment,  the Board of Directors  reasonably  determines
would not be contrary to the interests of the Holder of this Warrant;  provided,
however,  that no  adverse  change in the  number  or  nature of the  securities
purchasable  upon the exercise of this Warrant,  or the Exercise Price therefor,
or the  acceleration of the Warrant  Expiration  Date, shall be made without the
consent  in  writing  of the Holder of this  Warrant.  The  registration  rights
contained  in  Section 8 hereof  shall  survive  any such  modification  of this
Warrant.


         13.  AGREEMENT  OF  WARRANT  HOLDERS.  The  Holder,  by his  acceptance
thereof,  consents and agrees with the Company and any Transfer or Warrant Agent
that:

                                       14
<PAGE>

                  (a) The Warrants are  transferable  only on the registry books
of the Company,  any Transfer  Agent or Warrant  Agent by the Holder  thereof in
person or by his  attorney  duly  authorized  in writing and only if the warrant
certificates  representing  such Warrants are  surrendered  at the office of the
Company or the Transfer or Warrant  Agent,  if any, duly endorsed or accompanied
by a proper instrument of transfer  satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer
or Warrant Agent, if any, in their sole discretion, together with payment of any
applicable transfer taxes;


                  (b) The Company and any Transfer or Warrant Agent may deem and
treat the person in whose name the  warrant  certificate  is  registered  as the
Holder and as the  absolute,  true and lawful owner of the Warrants  represented
thereby for all  purposes,  and none of the Company,  the Transfer  Agent or the
Warrant  Agent  shall be affected by any notice or  knowledge  to the  contrary,
except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5 hereof;


                  (c) Each Warrant shall be subject in all respects to the terms
and conditions set forth in any amended  warrant  certificate  upon the issuance
thereof and upon the mailing by the  Company of notice of the  amendment  of the
terms and conditions of this Warrant;


                  (d) Holder  shall  execute all such  further  instruments  and
documents and take such further action as the Company may reasonably  require in
order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Warrant.


         14.  SEVERABILITY.  The  provisions of this Warrant shall be considered
severable  in the  event  that  any of such  provisions  are  held by a court of
competent  jurisdiction  to be invalid,  void or otherwise  unenforceable.  Such
invalid,  void or  otherwise  unenforceable  provisions  shall be  automatically
replaced by other  provisions  which are valid and  enforceable and which are as
similar as possible in term and intent to those provisions deemed to be invalid,
void or otherwise  unenforceable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the remaining
provisions  hereof shall remain  enforceable to the fullest extent  permitted by
law.



         15.  GOVERNING LAW. The validity and  construction  of this Warrant and
all matters  pertaining  hereto are to be determined in accordance with the laws
of the State of Delaware without  reference to the conflict of law principles of
that state.



         16. RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. This Warrant, as such, shall not entitle the
Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

         17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Warrant is intended to and does contain and
embody the entire understanding and agreement of the Company and the Holder with
respect to the  subject  matter  hereof and there  exists no oral  agreement  or
understanding, express or implied, whereby the absolute, final and unconditional
character  and  nature  of  this  Warrant  shall  be  in  any  way  invalidated,
unempowered or affected.
