Enhanced Services Company, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), subject
to modification and adjustment as set forth herein, upon the presentation and
surrender of this Warrant Certificate at any time prior to the Expiration Date
(as hereinafter defined), at the business office of the Company, and upon
payment therefor of the Exercise Price (hereinafter defined) per share of Common

This Warrant Certificate and the Warrant represented thereby are issued
pursuant to, and is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Wall Street Financial 1997 Consulting and Warrant Compensation
Agreement between the Company and CBS dated August 20, 1997 (the "Agreement"),
to which reference is hereby made for the provisions hereof. Unless the context
indicates otherwise, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.
1. TERM OF WARRANT. The rights evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may
be exercised in whole or in part at any time, commencing August 20, 1998 and
ending at 5:00 o'clock p.m., Central Time on August 19, 1999 unless the Company
agrees in writing to a later date ("Expiration Date"), except that, the Warrants
shall terminate in the event that the Agreement is terminated for Cause.
II-33
2. EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price shall be the average of the high
and low bid and asked sales price, for the Company's common stock, as reported
on the SmallCap Market of NASDAQ or, if not so reported, as reported in the
over-the-counter market in accordance with quotations provided by National
Quotation Bureau, Inc. or similar service, during the three month period ending
on the close of business on August 19, 1998.
2. ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE AND SHARES. If, and to the extent that,
the number of issued shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be increased or
reduced by change in par value, split up, reclassification, distribution of a
dividend payable in stock, or the like, the number of shares subject to the
Warrant and the exercise price per share shall be proportionately adjusted. If
the Company is reorganized or consolidated or merged with another corporation,
CBS shall be entitled to receive warrants covering shares of such reorganized,
consolidated or merged company in the same proportion, at an equivalent price
and subject to the same conditions as the Warrant. Upon the happening of any
event requiring an adjustment of the exercise price or the number of shares
subject to this Warrant hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give written
notice thereto to CBS stating the adjusted exercise price and the adjusted
number of shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof resulting from such event
and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts
upon which such calculation is based.
3. MANNER OF EXERCISE. CBS may exercise all or any whole number of such
Warrants prior to the Expiration Date in the manner stated herein. CBS must
provide the Company with not less than two (2) business days' prior written
notice prior to the exercise of any of the Warrant. The Exercise Price shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States of America. On exercise, this
Warrant Certificate, together with the purchase form provided herein duly
executed by CBS, plus payment of the Exercise Price in cash or by certified
check payable to the order of the Company, shall be surrendered to the Company.
Upon partial exercise of the rights evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, there
shall be issued to CBS a new Warrant Certificate evidencing any unexercised
rights.
II-35
4. RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company agrees that the number of
shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the Warrant
upon the basis herein set forth will at all times during the term of this
Warrant be reserved for the exercise thereof.
5. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK UPON EXERCISE. The Company, at its expense,
shall cause to be issued, as soon as practicable, but not later than ten (10)
days after exercise of this Warrant, a certificate or certificates in the name
of CBS reflecting the number of shares of Common Stock to which CBS is entitled
upon such exercise. All shares of Common Stock or other securities delivered
upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
6. NO RIGHT AS STOCKHOLDER. CBS is not, by virtue of ownership of the
Warrant, entitled to any rights whatsoever of a stockholder of the Company.
7. REDEMPTION. The Company shall not have the right to redeem this
Warrant.
8. ASSIGNMENT. This Warrant MAY NOT be transferred or assigned by CBS
without the Company's prior written approval (which, in its absolute discretion,
