THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY
AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED

                       LONG DISTANCE INTERNATIONAL INC.,

                             A FLORIDA CORPORATION

                              WARRANT CERTIFICATE

              Class A Bridge Loan Warrant to Purchase Common Stock

         Long Distance International Inc., a Florida Corporation (the
"Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Frederick A. DeLuca, an
individual residing at 512 NE 23rd Avenue, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33301 (the
"Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the Company [number]1 of fully paid,
validly issued and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per
share, of the Company ("Common Stock") at an exercise price of $0.001 per share
(the "Exercise Price") at any time or from time to time from and after the
Initial Exercise Date up to and including July 20, 2004. This Warrant is one of
a series of warrants designated the Class A Bridge Loan Warrants to Purchase
Common Stock ("Class A Warrants") and has been issued with a companion warrant
in a series designated the Class B Bridge Loan Warrants to Purchase Common
Stock ("Class B Warrants"). The Class A Warrants and the Class B Warrants are
being issued to the initial holders thereof pursuant to that certain Term Loan
Agreement, dated as of July 20, 1999 ("Term Loan Agreement"), as additional
consideration for, and as an inducement to make, the Term Loans (as defined
therein). Pursuant to the terms of the Class B Warrants, the Class B Warrants
shall become void and of no further force and effect in the event that the
loans outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement are repaid on or prior to
November 20, 1999. The number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the
exercise of this Warrant may be adjusted from time to time as provided herein.


         Section 1. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised in whole
or in part at any time or from time to time on or after the Initial Exercise
Date of this Warrant; provided, however, that if the day of exercise is a day
on which banking institutions in the State of Florida are authorized by law to
close,

------------------

         1 This number ("ws") will be determined in accordance with the
following formula:
                       (   P   )
                  WS = ( ------) (OS)
                       (  1-P  )

                  p = the product of (a) 0.30, multiplied by (b) the quotient
         of the amount of the Term Loan made by the Holder divided by $40
         million,

                  os = 87,805,899, the number of outstanding shares of the
         Company on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to the initial
         closing under the Term Loan Agreement.

then the exercise by the Holder shall be deemed to take place on the next
succeeding day that is not such a bank closing day. The Initial Exercise Date
shall mean the date on which the first to occur of the following events has
occurred: (a) the sixteenth month anniversary date of the issuance of this
Warrant; (b) the date the Company consummates an initial public offering of
shares of Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933; (c) the date the Company consummates a sale of all
or a substantial portion of the business of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether by way of merger, consolidation, sale of
assets or sale of capital stock; (d) the date a bankruptcy petition is filed by
or against the Company, LDI Acquisition Sub Inc. or a material operating
subsidiary of LDI Acquisition Sub Inc.; (e) the effective date of a waiver
under the Indenture, dated as of April 13, 1998 (the "Indenture"), pursuant to
which the Company's 12 1/4% Senior Notes Due 2008 were issued, the effect of
which waiver would be to waive the requirement that the Company repurchase the
Notes pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture because of a Change of Control
(as defined in the Indenture); and (f) the date on which the exercise of all
Class A Warrants and all Class B Warrants would not result in a Change of
Control; (g) the date on which a Change of Control under the Indenture occurs
for a reason other than an exercise of any of the Class A Warrants or Class B
Warrants issued under the Term Loan Agreement and a waiver with respect thereto
described in clause (e) above is not obtained; and (h) the date on which
Clifford Friedland and David Glassman cease to be directors of the Company
(other than by reason of their death or disability) or beneficially own in the
aggregate less than 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. This Warrant shall be
exercised by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its
principal office, with the Exercise Form annexed hereto as Exhibit A duly
executed by the Holder, accompanied by payment in full of an amount equal to
the product of the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased by the
Holder hereunder and one-tenth of one cent ($0.001). Payment for such shares
shall be made to the Company in U.S. dollars in cash, by wire transfer or by
certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company. Promptly
after each such exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and deliver
to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder. If this Warrant should be
exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for
cancellation, promptly execute and deliver a new Warrant, in substantially the
form of this Warrant, evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase
the balance of the Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon the last to occur
of receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office in proper form for
exercise, together with a duly executed Exercise Form, and receipt by the
Company of full payment of the exercise price for the shares of Common Stock
then being purchased hereunder, in accordance with the terms hereof, (i) the
Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of
the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares
of Common Stock shall not then be physically delivered to the Holder, and (ii)
such shares of Common Stock shall be fully paid and non-assessable and free
from all preemptive rights of any shareholder and all taxes, liens and charges,
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company shall pay any stamp or issue
taxes payable in connection with issuance of Common Stock under this Warrant.


         Section 2. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise
hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash (rounded to the



                                       2
<PAGE>   3
nearest cent) equal to such fraction multiplied by one-tenth of one cent
($0.001) provided such amount is no less than one cent.

         Section 3. Loss of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant (including any reasonable written certification that the Company may
require), and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of an agreement
indemnifying the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the
case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the
Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like terms and
date.

         Section 4. Rights of the Holder. This Warrant shall not entitle the
Holder hereof to any voting or other rights of a shareholder of the Company,
either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of shareholders or of
any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant, and
except in connection with Common Stock that the Holder purchases as provided
herein. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of the purchase by the
Holder of Common Stock hereunder, shall give rise to any liability of such
Holder for the exercise price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether to
the Company or creditors of the Company. The shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to a stop transfer order and the
certificate or certificates evidencing such shares shall bear the following
legend:

         "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
         THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), PURSUANT TO A
         REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
         COMMISSION. HOWEVER, SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT
         PURSUANT TO (i) A POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT TO SUCH REGISTRATION
         STATEMENT, (ii) A SEPARATE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT, OR
         (iii) AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT."

and shall bear all legends as required pursuant to the other agreements to
which such Holder and the Company are a party. Any holder of any such
certificate or instrument bearing the foregoing legend shall be entitled to
promptly receive from the Company, without expense, a new certificate or
instrument of identical tenor representing the same kind of securities and the
same number or other amount thereof not bearing such legend if such securities
shall have been effectively registered under the Act and are sold or otherwise
disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition by the seller
thereof set forth in the registration statement, or such securities may be
freely transferred by such holder by reason of an exemption from registration
under the Act, or such legend otherwise is not required in order to ensure
compliance with the Act. The opinion of Loeb & Loeb LLP or other legal counsel
selected by such holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect
to any of the foregoing or with respect to any question concerning whether any
proposed transfer of any shares of common stock would violate the Act, shall be
sufficient to determine the issue.

         Section 5. Adjustments.

                  (a) Adjustment of Price and Number of Common Stock. The
initial Exercise Calculation Price per share shall be one-tenth of one cent
($0.001). The Exercise Calculation Price shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as provided in Section 5(b), (c) and (h). Upon each adjustment,
the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at one-tenth of one cent
($0.001), the number of shares of Common Stock obtained by multiplying the
Exercise Calculation Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the
Exercise Calculation Price resulting from such adjustment.

                  (b) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date of this Warrant (the
"Commitment Date") effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company, the Exercise Calculation Price then in effect immediately before that
subdivision shall be proportionately decreased; and conversely, if the Company
at any time or from time to time after the Commitment Date combines the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the
Exercise Calculation Price then in effect immediately before the combination
shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this subsection (b)
shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or
combination becomes effective.

                  (c) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If
the Company at any time after the Commitment Date makes, or fixes a record date
for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a
dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock,
then and in each such event the Exercise Calculation Price then in effect shall
be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date
is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the
Exercise Calculation Price then in effect by a fraction (1) the numerator of
which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such
record date, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of
such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

                  (d) Adjustments for other Dividends and Distributions. In the
event the Company at any time after the Commitment Date makes, or fixes a
record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to
receive a dividend or other distribution payable in securities (including
options or warrants for Common Stock) of the Company other than shares of
Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made by the
Company so that the Holder of this Warrant shall receive upon exercise thereof,
in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the
amount of securities of the Company which the Holder would have received had
this Warrant been exercised to purchase Common Stock immediately before the
time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date and had the
Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and
including the exercise date, retained such securities receivable by the Holder
as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for
during such period under this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the
Holder, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein.



                                       4
<PAGE>   5

                  (e) Adjustments for the Reclassification, Exchange and
Substitution. In the event that at any time or from time to time after the
Commitment Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant is
changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes
of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other
than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere
in this Section 5), then and in any such event the Holder of this Warrant shall
have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant and receive the kind and
amount of stock and other securities and property receivable, upon such
recapitalization, reclassification or other change, which the Holder would have
received had this Warrant been exercised to purchase Common Stock immediately
before the time of such recapitalization, reclassification or change, and had
the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and
including the exercise date, retained such securities receivable by the Holder
as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for
during such period under this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the
Holder, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of
this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the Holder hereof after the
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provision of
this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Exercise Calculation Price then in
effect and the number of shares purchasable upon exercise hereof) shall be
applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

                  (f) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of
Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Commitment Date there is
a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a recapitalization,
subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for
elsewhere in this Section 5) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with
or into another entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of the
Company's properties and assets to any other person or entity, then as part of
such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so
that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon
exercise of the Warrant the number of shares of stock or other securities or
property which the Holder would have received had this Warrant been exercised
to purchase Common Stock immediately before the time of such capital
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, and had the Holder thereafter,
during the period from the date of such event to and including the exercise
date, retained such securities receivable by the Holder as aforesaid during
such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period
under this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the Holder, and subject to
further adjustment as provided herein. In any such case, appropriate adjustment
shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with
respect to the rights of the Holder hereof after the reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale to the end that the provision of this Section 5
(including adjustment of the Exercise Calculation Price then in effect and the
number of shares purchasable upon exercise hereof) shall be applicable after
that event and be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

                  (g) Other Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant
Shares.

                           (i) In case the Company shall, at any time after the
date hereof and in connection with an equity investment in or a loan to the
Company and/or LDI Acquisition Sub Inc., (a "Subsequent Financing") issue or
sell any shares of Common Stock and/or any options, rights or warrants to




                                       5
<PAGE>   6

subscribe for shares of Common Stock ("New Shares"), then the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in
accordance with, and subject to, the following provisions:

                                    (A) The number of additional shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be determined in
accordance with the following formula:



X   =   (WS) (NS)
        ---------
        OS

X   =   The number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
        of this Warrant

WS  =   The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
        Warrant immediately prior to the issuance or sale of New Shares.

NS  =   The number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold giving
        rise to the adjustment pursuant to this Section 5(g), and/or the
        maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise,
        conversion or exchange of the Rights issued or sold giving rise to the
        adjustment pursuant to this Section 5(g)

OS  =   87,805,999

                                    (B) Upon the expiration of any rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities for which an
adjustment was made hereunder, if any thereof shall not have been exercised,
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each
Warrant shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be such
as it would have been had it been originally adjusted (or had the original
adjustment not been required, as the case may be) as if (i) the only rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities so issued were the
rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, if any,
actually exercised, converted or exchanged and (ii) such rights, options,
warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, if any, were exercised,
converted or exchanged for the consideration actually received by the Company
upon such exercise, conversion or exchange plus the aggregate consideration, if
any, actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all
such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
whether or not exercised, converted or exchanged.

                                    (C) Except as set forth below, "New Shares"
shall mean any shares of Common Stock or Rights issued or sold or proposed to
be issued or sold by the Company on or after the initial issue date (the
"Initial Issue Date") of the initial Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants
under the Term Loan Agreement. "New Shares" does not include (i) the Class A
Warrants and the Class B Warrants issued and sold by the Company or any shares
of Common Stock issued upon exercise of any thereof, (ii) shares of Common
Stock or Rights issued in consideration of the acquisition of all or any
portion of a business as a going concern, whether such acquisition shall be
effected by a purchase of assets, exchange of securities, merger,
consolidation, reorganization or otherwise, (iii) shares of Common Stock or




                                       6
<PAGE>   7

Rights offered or proposed to be offered to the public pursuant to a
registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
to any underwriter of any such offering, (iv) shares of Common Stock or Rights
issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend by the Company, (v)
shares of Common Stock or Rights which the Company and the holders of at least
50% of the issued and outstanding shares issuable upon exercise of the Class A
Warrants agree in writing at any time and from time to time should not be
subject to the provisions of this Section 5(g); (vi) stock options granted to
the Company's directors, officers, employees, consultants and independent
contractors pursuant to bona fide stock option or employee benefit plans of the
Company approved by a majority of either the Board of Directors of the Company
or committee of the Board of Directors of the Company delegated to perform such
function, or shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise thereof, (vii) shares
of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Rights outstanding on the Initial Issue
Date, or (viii) shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise, exchange or
conversion of any Rights referred to in any preceding clause of this sentence.
No adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon
exercise, exchange or conversion of any of the Rights referred to in the
immediately preceding sentence by reason of original provisions thereof which
provide for an automatic adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events
shall be deemed to be an issuance or proposed issuance of New Shares. For the
purposes of the definition of "New Shares", the term "Rights" shall mean any
options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities or other rights,
however denominated, to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common
Stock or other Rights to subscribe for purchase or otherwise acquire Common
Stock, with or without payment of additional consideration in cash or property,
either immediately or upon the occurrence of a specified date or a specified
event or the satisfaction or happening of any other condition or contingency.

                           (ii) The adjustments provided for in this Section
5(g) shall be made for all Subsequent Financings to the extent the aggregate
gross proceeds thereof do not exceed the difference of $40,000,000 less the
aggregate amount of Term Loans made by the Holder on the date of original
issuance and by all other holders of Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants on
or prior to such date.

         (h) Accountants' Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an
adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Calculation Price or the number of
shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, the Company, at its expense, reasonably promptly after such adjustment
or readjustment, shall cause independent public accountants of recognized
standing selected by the Company (who may be the independent public accountants
then auditing the books of the Company) to compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and to prepare a statement
showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such statement, by first
class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder of this Warrant at the Holder's
address as shown in the Company's books and records. The statement shall set
forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based.

         Section 6. Reservation and Issuance of Common Stock

         The Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserve and keep
available, free from preemptive rights, for the purpose of enabling it to
satisfy any obligation to issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of





                                       7
<PAGE>   8

Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of this Warrant and full payment therefor in accordance
with the provisions hereof shall be validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable
and free of preemptive rights.

         Section 7. Delivery of Stock Certificates on Exercise. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within ten days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the
name of and delivered to the holder hereof, or as such holder (upon payment by
such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or
certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) to which such holder shall be entitled on such
exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would
otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then
current market value of one full share, together with any other stock or other
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such holder
is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise under the
terms of this Warrant.

         Section 8. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, acquisition,
business combination, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but
will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company:

         (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable
on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such
exercise; and

         (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant from time
to time outstanding.

         Section 9. Other Notices. In case at any time:

         (a) The Company shall declare any cash dividend on its Common Stock;

         (b) The Company shall pay any dividend payable in capital stock upon
its Common Stock or make any distribution (other than regular cash dividends)
to the holders of its Common Stock;

         (c) The Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of its
Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or assets (other than cash
dividends or cash distributions payable out of earnings or earned surplus or
dividends payable in Common Stock);

         (d) There shall be any capital reorganization, or reclassification of
the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company
with another entity (other than a subsidiary of the Company in which the




                                       8
<PAGE>   9

Company is the surviving or continuing corporation and no change occurs in the
Company's Common Stock), or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to,
another person or entity;

         (e) There shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or winding up
of the Company; or

         (f) The Company proposes to take any other action or an event occurs
which would require an adjustment pursuant to Section 5;

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give written notice,
addressed to the Holder at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of
the Company within three business days thereafter.

         Section 10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall be
governed by and interpreted under the law of the State of New York applicable
to contracts negotiated, entered into and to be performed solely in that State,
without regard to the choice or conflicts of law principles of such State.

         Section 11. Severability. If any part of this Warrant is held to be
unenforceable or invalid under, or in conflict with, the applicable law of any
jurisdiction, then the unenforceable, invalid or conflicting part shall be
narrowed or replaced, to the extent possible, with a construction in such
jurisdiction that effectuates the intent of the parties regarding this Warrant
and the unenforceable, invalid or conflicting part. Notwithstanding the
unenforceability, invalidity or conflict with applicable law of any part of
this Warrant, the remaining parts shall be valid, enforceable and binding on
the parties.

         Section 12. Binding Effect. This Warrant shall be binding upon,
enforceable by and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective permitted successors or assignees. Any Holder and its permitted
successors and assignees shall be deemed to be a Holder as defined and provided
for in this Warrant.

         Section 13. Register; Assignment. The Holder may assign or transfer
all or any portion of this Warrant in compliance with the terms hereof. Any
Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of this Warrant shall be
numbered and shall be registered in a Warrant Register as they are issued. The
Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant on the
Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be
bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant
on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable by reason of any
registration or transfer of Warrants which are registered or to be registered
in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the
actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in
requesting such registration or transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts
that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Warrant shall be
transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly
endorsed by the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney or representative, or

accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to
transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator,
guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his or
its authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company
shall deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto. This
Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another
Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and
representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Warrants
(or portions thereof), upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized
agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to
cause Warrants to be transferred on its books to any person unless it receives
an opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer
complies with the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations
thereunder.


         Section 14. Amendment; Waiver. This Warrant may be amended only by a
writing signed by the parties hereto. Neither any failure nor any delay on the
part of any party to this Warrant in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any such party, unless
such waiver is made by a writing executed by such party and delivered to the
other party, nor shall a single or partial exercise of any right preclude any
other or further exercise of any other right, power or privilege accorded to
any party to this Warrant.
