                              WARRANT TO PURCHASE
                                   SHARES OF
                                  COMMON STOCK
                                       OF
                                  eGLOBE, INC.

         eGlobe, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),  hereby Issues to
Seymour Gordon (the "Holder") this warrant to purchase from the Company, (i) for
a price per share equal to $1.00, 60,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value
per share of the Company (the "Common Stock").

         1. Exercise.  The rights  represented by this warrant may be exercised,
in whole or in part at any time after the date  hereof  until 5:00 PM (New York,
New York  time) on the  fifth  anniversary  of the date  hereof  (the  "Exercise
Period"),  by (a) the  surrender of this  warrant,  along with the purchase form
attached as Exhibit A (the "Purchase Form"),  properly executed,  at the address
of the Company  set forth in section  6.2 (or such other  address as the Company
may  designate  by notice in writing to the Holder at its  address  set forth in
section 6.2) and (b) the payment to the Company of the exercise  price by check,
payable to the order of the  Company,  for the number of shares of Common  Stock
specified in the Purchase  Form,  together with any  applicable  stock  transfer
taxes. A certificate  representing  the shares of Common Stock so purchases and,
in the event of an  exercise  of fewer than all the rights  represented  by this
warrant,  a new  warrant in the form of this  warrant  issued in the name of the
Holder or its designee(s) and representing a new warrant to purchase a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as to which
this  warrant was  theretofore  exercisable  less the number of shares of Common
Stock as to which this warrant shall  theretofore have been exercised,  shall be
delivered to the Holder or such  designee(s) as promptly as practicable,  but in
no event later than three business  days,  after this warrant shall have been so
exercised.
         2. Antidilution. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares
of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide
its outstanding shares of

Common  Stock  (including,  without  limitation,  by way of stock splits and the
like),  (iii)  combine  its  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares
of  Common  Stock  other   securities  of  the  Company   (including   any  such
reclassification  in  connection  with a  consolidation  or  merger in which the
Company is the  surviving  corporation),  the  number of shares of Common  Stock
purchasable  upon  exercise of this warrant  immediately  prior thereto shall be
adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of
Common Stock or the kind and number of other  securities of the Company which it
would have owned or have been  entitled to receive after the happening of any of
the events described above had this warrant been exercised, immediately prior to
the  happening  of such event or any record date with respect  thereto,  and the
exercise  price per share shall be adjusted  appropriately.  An adjustment  made
pursuant  to this  section  2  shall  become  effective  immediately  after  the
effective  date of each such event  retroactive  to the record date, if any, for
such event, without amendment or modification required to this document.

         3. Transfer.  Subject to applicable law (including the requirements set
forth in the legend at the  beginning  of this  warrant),  this  warrant  may be
transferred  at any time,  in whole or in part,  to any person or  persons.  Any
transfer shall be effected by the surrender of this warrant, along with the form
of assignment  attached as Exhibit B, properly  executed,  at the address of the
Company  set forth in section  6.2 (or such other  address  as the  Company  may
designate by notice in writing to the Holder at its address set forth in section
6.2).  Thereupon,  the Company shall issue in the name or names specified by the
Holder a new  warrant or warrants  of like tenor and  representing  a warrant or
warrants to purchase in the  aggregate a number of shares equal to the number of
shares to which this  warrant  was  theretofore  exercisable  less the number of
shares as to which this warrant shall theretofore have been exercised.

         4. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall cause all shares of Common Stock
issued upon the  exercise of this warrant to be validly  issued,  fully paid and
nonassessable  and not subject to preemptive  rights.  The Company shall pay all
expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other  governmental  charges that
may be imposed  with respect to the issuance or delivery of the shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this warrant, unless such tax or charge is imposed by law
upon the Holder.

         5. Reservation of Shares. From and after the date of this warrant,  the
Company  shall at all times  reserve and keep  available  for issuance  upon the
exercise  of this  warrant a number of its  authorized  but  unissued  shares of
Common Stock sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this warrant.

         6. Miscellaneous.

         6.1  Securities Act  Restrictions.  The Holder  acknowledges  that this
warrant  may  not  be  sold,   transferred  or  otherwise  disposed  of  without
registration  under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended  (the "Act") or an
applicable  exemption  from  the  registration  requirements  of  the  Act  and,
accordingly,  this warrant and all  certificates  representing  the Common Stock
