FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions set forth below, the undersigned, GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that CVC California, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or its registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to One Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand (1,350,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “ Warrant Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock, $.001 par value per share (the “ Common Shares ”), for cash at a price of $0.60 per share (the “ Exercise Price ”) at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and until 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on August 31, 2014 (the “ Expiration Date ”) upon surrender to the Company at its principal office (or at such other location as the Company may advise the Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Notice of Exercise attached hereto duly filled in and signed and, if applicable, upon payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of this Warrant.

1.             Exercise of Warrant.

1.1.          Exercise .  This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, and this Warrant shall expire on the Expiration Date.  Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be payable in cash or by check.  This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional Warrant Shares.  If exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form to this Warrant, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by an appropriate officer of the Company.  The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include any subsequent Warrant issued as provided herein.

1.2.          Exercise Procedures; Delivery of Certificate .  Upon surrender of this Warrant with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form of Annex A attached hereto, together with payment of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares purchased, at the Company’s principal executive offices (the “ Designated Office ”), the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased.  The Company agrees that the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued to the Holder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered together with the Notice of Exercise and payment for such Warrant Shares.

1.3.          Cashless Exercise .  In connection with any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the Exercise Price, the Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a Cashless Exercise Form in the form attached hereto as Annex B (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed (a “ Cashless Exercise ”).  Such presentation and surrender shall be in lieu of the Holder's obligation to pay all or any portion of the Exercise Price, as the case may be.  In the event of a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall exchange this Warrant for that number of Common Shares determined by multiplying the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the difference between (i) the then current market price per Common Share, and (ii) the Exercise Price, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the then current market price per Common Share.  For purposes of any computation under this Section l.3, the then current market price per Common Share at any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily trading price for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Cashless Exercise.  If, during such measuring period, there shall occur any event which gives rise to any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then a corresponding adjustment shall be made with respect to the closing prices of the Common Shares for the days prior to the Effective Date of such adjustment event.  As used herein, the term “trading price” on any relevant date means (A) if the Common Stock is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Select Market (or any replacement Nasdaq market), the closing sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the last reported sale price) of the Common Stock (regular way), or (B) if the Common Stock is not so listed but quotations for the Common Stock are reported on the OTC Bulletin Board, the most recent closing price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the legend requirements of this Section 2.3 shall terminate as to any particular Warrant Shares when (i) such Warrant Shares are transferred pursuant to an effective resale registration statement, as contemplated in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of August 31, 2008 (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) executed by the Company in favor of the Holder, or (ii) the Company shall have received from the Holder thereof an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company that such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.  Whenever the restrictions imposed by this Section 2.3 shall terminate, the Holder or subsequent transferee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive from the Company without cost to such Holder or transferee a certificate for the Warrant Shares without such restrictive legend.
