                                     WARRANT


                WARRANT TO PURCHASE 4,444 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK


                                       OF


                       SONUS COMMUNICATION HOLDINGS, INC.


                       Date of Issuance: November 22, 1999


       THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, Hudson Allen & Co, or its
assigns (in either case, the "Holder") is entitled to purchase, subject to the
provisions of this Warrant, from SONUS COMMUNICATION HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), at the price per share set forth in Section 8
hereof, the number of shares of the Company's common stock, $.0001 par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), set forth in Section 7 hereof. This Warrant is
referred to herein as the "Warrant" and the shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to the terms hereof are sometimes referred to herein as "Warrant
Shares".


       Section 1. Exercise of Warrant. To exercise this Warrant in whole or in
part, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal office, (a) a
written notice, in substantially the form of the exercise notice attached hereto
(the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant,
which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased,
(b) a check in the amount of the aggregate exercise price for the Warrant Shares
being purchased, and (c) this Warrant. The Company shall as promptly as
practicable, and in any event within twenty (20) days after delivery to the
Company of (i) the Exercise Notice, (ii) the check mentioned above, and (iii)
this Warrant, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in
accordance with such notice, a certificate or certificates representing the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in such notice. If the
Holder elects to purchase, at any time, less than the number of shares of Common
Stock then purchasable under the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall issue
to the Holder a new Warrant exercisable into the number of remaining shares of
Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant. Each certificate representing
Warrant Shares shall bear the legend or legends required by applicable
securities laws as well as such other legend(s) the Company requires to be
included on certificates for its Common Stock. Such certificate or certificates
shall be deemed to have been issued and such holder or any other person so
designated to be named therein shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a
holder of record of such shares as of the date the Exercise Notice is delivered
to the Company. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges
payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of such stock
certificates except that, in case such stock certificates shall be registered in
a name or names other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all
stock transfer taxes that are payable upon the


<PAGE>   2

issuance of such stock certificate or certificates shall be paid by the Holder
at the time of delivering the Exercise Notice. All shares of Common Stock issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable. This Warrant may be exercised on multiple occasions in amounts
not less than 15% of the original amount issued before the expiration of its
term as described in this Section 1. This Warrant will expire on November 22,
2004 (the "Expiration Date").



       Section 2. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby covenants that at
all times during the term of this Warrant there shall be reserved for issuance
such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required to be issued upon
exercise of this Warrant.


       Section 3. Fractional Shares. This Warrant may be exercised only for a
whole number of shares of Common Stock, and no fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant.


       Section 4. Transfer of Warrant and Warrant Shares. The Holder may freely
sell, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise transfer this Warrant, in whole or in
part, and any or all of the Warrant Shares; provided that any such sale, pledge,
hypothecation, or transfer is made in compliance with the Act or pursuant to an
available exemption from registration under the Act relating to the disposition
of securities, and is made in accordance with applicable State securities laws.

       Section 5. Loss of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, or destruction of this Warrant, and of
indemnification satisfactory to it, or upon surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of
like tenor.

       Section 6. Rights of the Holder. No provision of this Warrant shall be
construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote, consent, receive
dividends or receive notice other than as expressly provided herein. Prior to
exercise, no provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
Holder to exercise this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the
purchase price of any Warrant Shares or as a stockholder of the Company, whether
such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

       Section 7. Number of Warrant Shares. This Warrant shall be exercisable
for up to 4,444 shares of the Company's Common Stock, as adjusted in accordance
with this Agreement.

       Section 8. Exercise Price; Redemption; Adjustment of Warrants.


       (a)    Determination of Exercise Price. The per share purchase price (the
"Exercise Price") for each of the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant
shall be equal to $1.35.


       (b)    Redemption of Warrants. The Warrants are redeemable by the Company
at $0.05 per Warrant (the "Redemption Price"), upon 20 days notice, at the
discretion of the Company, when the following three conditions have been met:
(i) a registration statement has been filed under the Securities Act covering
the resale of the Shares, Warrants and the Warrant Shares, and such registration
statement is effective, (ii) a public market has developed for the Common Stock,
and (iii) the bid price of the Common Stock has closed at $4.50 or higher for
ten consecutive trading days. Redemption of the Warrants shall be automatically
effective and the Warrants shall be deemed cancelled upon the Company's delivery
of the Redemption Price to the Holder in accordance with this Agreement. Upon
receipt of the Redemption Price, Holder agrees to return any evidence of the
Warrants to the Company.

       (c)    Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Distributions and Subdivisions.
If the Company at any time or from time to time after the original issue date
shall declare or pay any dividend or distribution on the Common Stock payable in
Common Stock, or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then the number of
shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be increased
to an amount which is equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the stock
dividend, distribution or subdivision, as the case may be, and (ii) a fraction,
the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding after giving effect to such stock dividend, distribution or
subdivision, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding prior to such stock dividend, distribution or
subdivision. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be divided or
increased because of a stock dividend or distribution, by stock split or
otherwise, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such dividend, distribution or division shall,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such division, dividend or distribution,
be proportionately decreased.


       (d)    Adjustments for Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock. If
the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by
reclassification, reverse stock split or otherwise, into a lesser number of
shares of Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock into which
this Warrant is exercisable shall be decreased to an amount which is equal to
the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
is exercisable immediately prior to combination or consolidation, as the case
may be, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding after giving effect to such
combination or consolidation, and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to such combination or
consolidation. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or
consolidated, by reclassification, reverse stock split or otherwise, into a
lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with
the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately
increased.


       (e)    Adjustment for Mergers or Reorganization, etc. In case of any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or the
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another
corporation, this Warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of
stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would
have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance; and, in any
such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by the Board of Directors of
the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth
with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holder of this
Warrant, to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as reasonable may be, in relation to any shares of stock
or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.


       (f)    No Impairment. The Company will not, through any reorganization,
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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Section 8 and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the holder
of this Warrant against impairment.


       (g)    Issue Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other
taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of
Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant, in



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

whole or in part; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to
pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in
connection with any such exercise.


       (h)    Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this
Warrant, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant; and if at any time the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take all appropriate
corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as
shall be sufficient for such purpose.


       (i)    Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued upon the
exercise, in whole or in part, of this Warrant. If any exercise in whole or in
part of this Warrant would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of
Common Stock, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay
the holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair
market value of such fraction on the date of exercise (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company).


       (j)    Cashless Exercise. The Holder shall have the right to pay all or a
portion of the Exercise Price by making a "Cashless Exercise", in which case the
portion of the Exercise Price to be so paid shall be paid by reducing the number
of Warrant Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to this Warrant in accordance with
the formula set forth below so that the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to
the Holder as a result of a Cashless Exercise shall therefore be:


<TABLE>
<S>                                                                <C>
(Fair Market Value Per Share-Exercise Price per Warrant Share)  X  the number of Warrant Shares
--------------------------------------------------------------
       Fair Market Value Per Share                                 otherwise issuable
</TABLE>


* Within ten (10) days of receipt of an election to exercise this Warrant
specifying a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall provide to the Holder in
writing its determination of the fair market value per share of Common Stock
(including the basis therefor), which shall be determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company and shall be binding on the Holder unless the Holder
objects thereto in writing within ten (10) business days of the Holder's receipt
of such determination. In the event the Company and the Holder cannot agree on
the amount of the fair market value per share of Common Stock within ten (10)
business days of the date of the Holder's delivery of its objection, such amount
shall be determined by an appraiser experienced in making such determinations
mutually selected by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holder, the
fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company. (The fair market value
per share of Common Stock determined in accordance with this procedure is
referred to above as the "Fair Market Value Per Share").





       Section 9. Certain Distributions. In case the Company shall, at any time,
prior to the Expiration Date set forth in Section 1 hereof, declare any
distribution of its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a partial
liquidation, distribution or by way of return of capital, other than as a
dividend payable out of earnings or any surplus legally available for dividends,
then the Holder shall be entitled, upon the proper exercise of this Warrant in
whole or in part prior to the effecting of such declaration, to receive, in
addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable on such exercise, the amount of
such assets (or at the option of the Company a sum equal to the value thereof at
the time of such distribution to holders of Common Stock as such value is
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith), which would
have been payable to the Holder had it been a holder of record of



                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of those
holders of Common Stock entitled to such distribution.


       Section 10. Dissolution or Liquidation. In case the Company shall, at any
time prior to the Expiration Date set forth in Section 1 hereof, dissolve,
liquidate or wind up its affairs, the Holder shall be entitled, upon the proper
exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part and prior to any distribution
associated with such dissolution, liquidation, or winding up, to receive on such
exercise, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock to which the Holder would have
been entitled, the same kind and amount of assets as would have been distributed
or paid to the Holder upon any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, with
respect to such shares of Common Stock had the Holder been a holder of record of
such share of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of those
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dissolution, liquidation,
or winding up distribution.


       Section 11. Reclassification or Reorganization. In case of any
reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares
of Common Stock of the Company (other than a change in par value, or from par
value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of an
issuance of Common Stock by way of dividend or other distribution or of a
subdivision or combination), the Company shall cause effective provision to be
made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter by exercising this
Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities
and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or
other change, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which might
have been purchased upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification or change. Any such provision shall include provision for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 11 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital
reorganizations and changes of shares of Common Stock. In the event that in any
such capital reorganization, reclassification, or other change, additional
shares of Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or
payment, in whole or in part, for or of a security of the Company other than
Common Stock, any amount of the consideration received upon the issue thereof
being determined by the Board of Directors of the Company shall be final and
binding on the Holder.


       Section 12. Miscellaneous.


              (a)    Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this
