Exercise Period, that number of shares of Common Stock which shall be
exercisable (subject to any vesting requirements) by the Holder hereof
pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.
1. Vesting and Exercise of Warrant; Resale Restrictions.
1.1. Vesting. Holder's right to purchase 1/3 of the Warrant Shares
shall vest upon each of the first, second and third anniversary dates of
the date of this Agreement. Holder shall not have the right to acquire any
Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant prior the vesting of such rights as
set forth in this Section 1.1. Notwithstanding the vesting period set forth
above, nothing contained herein shall be construed to imply that Holder is
guaranteed employment with the Company for any specified period.
1.2. Method of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised (subject to
the vesting requirements set forth above) by the Holder hereof in whole or
in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), at any time and
from time to time during the Exercise Period for up to, but not more than,
the number of vested Warrant Shares at such time, by delivery to the
Company at its principal office of (i) a notice of exercise (a "Notice of
Exercise") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, (ii)
evidence satisfactory to the Company of the authority of the person
executing such Notice of Exercise, (iii) this Warrant, and (iv) payment of
(A) the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Exercise Price") and (B)
Tax Withholding Liability. Payment of the Exercise Price and Tax
Withholding Liability shall be made by check or bank draft payable to the
order of the Company or by wire transfer to the account of the Company. The
shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued as of the close of
business on the date on which the Company shall have received from the
Holder payment in full of the Exercise Price and Tax Withholding Liability
and the other documents referred to herein (the "Exercise Date").
1.3. Regulation D Restrictions. The Holder hereof represents and
warrants to the Company that it has acquired this Warrant and anticipates
acquiring the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
solely for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to
or for distributing such securities unless such distribution has been
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable
exemption is available therefor. At the time this Warrant is exercised, the
Company may require the Holder to state in the Notice of Exercise such
representations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT - Page 2 (Dial-Thru International Corporation)
concerning the Holder as are necessary or appropriate to assure compliance
by the Holder with the Securities Act.
2. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will cause to be
issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder a certificate for the number
of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall
be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the
Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by
the then applicable Purchase Price, together with any other stock or other
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which the Holder
is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
3. Adjustments on Certain Capital Transactions. On the occurrence of any
of the following events, the following adjustments to the rights granted under
this Warrant shall be made:
3.1. In case the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company shall be increased by way of a stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, or other similar means, the number of unexercised shares
of Common Stock covered by this Warrant shall be increased by the amount
that a like number of shares of outstanding Common Stock shall have been
increased as a result of such stock increase and the Purchase Price shall
be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such stock increase by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of unexercised shares covered by this Warrant immediately prior to
such stock increase and the denominator of which shall be the number of
unexercised shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant as adjusted for
such stock increase.
3.2. In case the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company shall be reduced by recapitalization, reverse stock split or
otherwise, the number of unexercised shares covered by this Warrant shall
be reduced by the amount that a like number of shares of outstanding Common
Stock shall have been reduced as a result of such stock reduction and the
Purchase Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior to such stock reduction by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of unexercised shares covered by
this Warrant immediately prior to such stock reduction and the denominator
of which shall be the number of unexercised shares covered by this Warrant
as adjusted for such stock reduction.
3.3. In case the Company shall consolidate with or merge into
another corporation, the holder of this Warrant will thereafter receive,
upon the exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, the
securities or property to which the holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock then deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant would have
been entitled upon such consolidation or merger ("Other Securities") and
the Company shall take such steps in connection with such consolidation or
merger as may be necessary to assure that the provisions hereof shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to
any securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant.

4. Rights as a Shareholder. Holder shall not have any rights as a
shareholder of the Company with respect to the shares subject to this Warrant.
5. Securities Law Requirements. Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant
Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or
blue sky laws. Accordingly, upon (a) any transfer of this Warrant, any
transferee of this Warrant or (b) the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in
part, and if the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities

represent and agree in writing satisfactory to the Company that Holder or such
other person (a) is acquiring the shares for the purpose of investment and not
with a view to distribution thereof, (b) knows the shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or blue sky laws,
(c) understands that he must bear the economic risk of said investment for an
indefinite period of time until the shares are registered under the Securities
Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws or an exemption from such
registration is available, and (d) will not solicit any offer to sell or sell
all or any portion of the shares other than pursuant to an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
6. Transfer Restrictions. This Warrant shall be exercisable only by
Holder and shall not be assignable or transferable. Any attempted alienation,
assignment, pledge, hypothecation, attachment, execution or similar process,
whether voluntary or involuntary, with respect to all or any part of this
Warrant or any right hereunder, shall be null and void.
7. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The
Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.
8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this
Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new warrant of like tenor.
9. Notices, etc. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be
personally delivered, telecopied or mailed by first class registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address of facsimile numbers as may
have been furnished to each party by the other in writing.
10. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the
party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and
governed by the internal laws of the State of Texas. The headings in this
Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise
affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any
