Number of Shares: 200,000 (on a post-split basis, subject to vesting and
subject to adjustment)
Date of Issuance:  July 6, 2006

                       MULTI LINK TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC.

                              Common Stock Warrant

      Multi Link Telecommunications, Inc. (the "Company"), for value received,
hereby certifies that Brian P. Alleman, or his registered assigns (the
"Registered Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to
purchase from the Company, at any time after the date hereof and on or before
the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 6 below), up to 200,000 (subject to
vesting and as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this
Warrant) of Common Stock of the Company, at a purchase price (as defined in
Section 1 below). The shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the
purchase price per share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the
provisions of this Warrant, are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the
"Warrant Shares" and the "Purchase Price," respectively.

      1. Purchase Price. The exercise price (the "Purchase Price") shall be
equal to the current fair market value per share of the Company's Common Stock
of $2.55, subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant.

      2.    Exercise.

            (a) Vesting. So long as Brian P. Alleman continues to serve on the
Board of Directors of the Company, 1/24th of the total number of Warrant Shares
shall vest on the one month anniversary of July 14, 2006 and an additional
1/24th of the total number of Warrant Shares shall vest each month thereafter.

            (b) Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the
Registered Holder, subject to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2(a)
above, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the
purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such
Registered Holder or by such Registered Holder's duly authorized attorney, at
the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the
Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price
payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.
The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, wire transfer or by the surrender
of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of the
Company to the Registered Holder.
<PAGE>

            (c) Effective Time of Exercise. Each exercise of this Warrant shall
be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on
the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as
provided in Section 2(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose
name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such
exercise as provided in Section 2(d) below shall be deemed to have become the
holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such
certificates.

            (d) Net Issue Exercise.

                  (i) In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided
above in Section 2(a), the Registered Holder may elect to receive shares equal
to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with
notice of such election on the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit
A duly executed by such Registered Holder or such Registered Holder's duly
authorized attorney, in which event the Company shall issue to holder a number
of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

                        X =   Y (A - B)
                              ---------
                                  A
Where             X = The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
                  Registered Holder.

            Y     = The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
                  Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

            A     = The fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the
                  date of such calculation).

            B     = The Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such
                  calculation).

                  (ii) For purposes of this Section 2(c), the fair market value
of one share of Common Stock on the date of calculation shall mean:

                        (A) if the exercise is in connection with an
initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock, and if the Company's
Registration Statement relating to such public offering has been declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the fair market value
of Common Stock shall be the initial "Price to Public" per share specified in
the final prospectus with respect to the offering; or

                        (B) if (A) is not applicable, the fair market value
shall be at the highest price per share which the Company could obtain on the
date of calculation from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director)
for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued
shares, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, unless the
Company is at such time subject to an acquisition as described in Section 7(b)
below, in which case the fair market value per share of Common Stock shall be
deemed to be the value of the consideration per share received by the holders of
such stock pursuant to such acquisition.

                                       2
<PAGE>

            (e) Delivery to Holder. As soon as practicable after the exercise of
this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days
thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of,
and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such
Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

                  (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant
Shares to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and

                 (ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or
warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the
face or faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving
effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the
face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered
Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 2(a) above.

      3.    Adjustments.

            (a) Stock Splits and Dividends. If outstanding shares of the
Company's Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a
dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, the Purchase
Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of
such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or
immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced.
If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of
shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be
proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the
Purchase Price, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount
equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect
immediately after such adjustment.

            (b) Reclassification, Etc. In case of any reclassification or change
of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the
Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the
time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate
reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the
holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger or
conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other
securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such
consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such holder
would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised
this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as
provided in Section 3(a); and in each such case, the terms of this Section 3
shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

            (c) Adjustment Certificate. When any adjustment is required to be
made in the number of Warrant Shares or the Purchase Price pursuant to this
Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Registered Holder a
certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment, (ii) the Purchase Price after such adjustment and (iii) the kind and
amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be
exercisable after such adjustment.

                                       3

      4.    Transfers.

             (a) Unregistered Security. Each holder of this Warrant acknowledges
that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and agrees not to
sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this
Warrant or any Warrant Shares issued upon its exercise in the absence of (i) an
effective registration statement under the Act as to this Warrant or such
Warrant Shares and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant
Shares under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect
or (ii) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such
registration and qualification are not required. Each certificate or other
instrument for Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
bear a legend substantially to the foregoing effect.

            (b) Transferability. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(a)
hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in
part, upon surrender of the Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the
form of Exhibit B hereto) at the principal office of the Company.

            (c) Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register
containing the names and addresses of the Registered Holders of this Warrant.
Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company
may treat the Registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for
all purposes; provided, however, that if this Warrant is properly assigned in
blank, the Company may (but shall not be required to) treat the bearer hereof as
the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. Any Registered Holder may change such Registered Holder's address as
shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such
change.

      5. Representations of Registered Holder. The Registered Holder hereby
represents and warrants to the Company that:

            (a) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Warrant and Warrant
Shares (collectively, the "Securities") will be acquired for investment for the
Registered Holder's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view
to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and that the Registered Holder
has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same. The Registered Holder further represents that the
Registered Holder does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement
or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such
person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. The
Registered Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring any
of the Securities.

                                       4
<PAGE>

            (b) Knowledge. The Registered Holder is aware of the Company's
business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information
about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the
Securities.

            (c) Restricted Securities. The Registered Holder understands that
the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities
Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of
the investment intent and the accuracy of the Registered Holder's
representations as expressed herein. The Registered Holder understands that the
Securities are "restricted securities" under applicable U.S. federal and state
securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Registered Holder must
hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from
such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Registered
Holder acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify
the Securities for resale. The Registered Holder further acknowledges that if an
exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned
on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of
sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the
Company which are outside of the Registered Holder's control, and which the
Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

            (d) No Public Market. The Registered Holder understands that no
public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, that
the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the
Securities.

            (e) Legends. The Registered Holder understands that the Securities,
and any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor, may bear one
or all of the following legends:

                  (i) "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR
DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A
FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933."

                  (ii) Any legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state to
the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate
so legended.

            (f) Accredited Investor. The Registered Holder is an accredited
investor as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act.

      6. Term of Warrant. Subject to the other terms and conditions set forth
herein, this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time on
or after the date hereof and at or prior to 11:59 p.m., local time in Norcross,
Georgia, U.S.A., on July 5, 2016 (the "Expiration Date").

      7. Notices of Certain Transactions. In case:

            (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of
this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive
any other right, to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class
or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or

            (b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or
merger of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, or

            (c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company,

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Registered Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i)
the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which
the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the
time deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up) are to be determined.
Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or
effective date for the event specified in such notice.

      8. Reservation of Stock. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for the issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this
Warrant, such Warrant Shares and other stock, securities and property, as from
time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

      9. Exchange of Warrants. Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder of
any Warrant or Warrants, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal
office of the Company, the Company will, subject to the provisions of Section 4
hereof, issue and deliver to or upon the order of such Holder, at the Company's
expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such Registered
Holder or as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of
any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face
or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face
or faces of the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.

      10. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an
indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant of like tenor.

                                       6

Company's Board of Directors.

    CONFIDENTIAL
      INFORMATION AND NON-COMPETITION 

     

    12.1  The
      Executive acknowledges and agrees that in performing the duties and
      responsibilities of his employment pursuant to this Agreement, he will occupy
      a
      position of high fiduciary trust and confidence with the Corporation, pursuant
      to which he will develop and acquire wide experience and knowledge with respect
      to all aspects of the business carried on by the Corporation and its Related
      Corporations, and the manner in which such business is conducted. It is the
      express intent and agreement of the Executive and the Corporation that such
      knowledge and experience shall be used solely and exclusively in furtherance
      of
      the business interests of the Corporation and its Related Corporations, and
      not
      in any manner detrimental to them. The Executive therefore agrees that, so
      long
      as he is employed by the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement, he shall not
      engage in any business activity that competes, whether directly or indirectly,
      with the business of the Corporation or its Related Corporations. It
      shall
      not be a violation of this Section 12.1 for
      the
      Executive to be involved as an investor or shareholder in securities issued
      by
      corporations that do not compete directly or indirectly with the business of
      the
      Corporation, or where such investment constitutes not more than five percent
      (5%) of the outstanding securities of a business or corporation whose shares
      are
      traded on a national securities exchange.

     

    12.2  The
      Executive further acknowledges and agrees that in performing the duties and
      responsibilities of his employment pursuant to this Agreement, he will become
      knowledgeable with respect to a wide variety of Confidential Information which
      is the sole and exclusive property of the Corporation or its Related
      Corporations, the disclosure or misuse of which would cause irreparable harm
      to
      the Corporation or its Related Corporations. The Executive therefore agrees
      that
      during the Term of this Agreement, and following the termination of the
      Executive's employment for any reason, he shall treat confidentially all
      Confidential Information belonging to the Corporation or its Related
      Corporations, and shall not use or disclose the Confidential Information for
      any
      purpose other than the bona
      fide
      performance of his duties under this Agreement, except with the prior written
      consent of the board of directors of the Corporation, or as required by
      law.

     

    12.3  The
      Executive further acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the terms of this
      Agreement, he will acquire Company Property which is and shall remain the sole
      and exclusive property of the Corporation. Upon termination of the Executive's
      employment and this Agreement for any reason, the Executive shall return to
      the
      Corporation all Company Property, together with any copies or reproductions
      thereof, which may have come into the Executive's possession during the course
      of or pursuant to this Agreement, and shall delete or destroy all computer
      files
      on his personal computer which may contain any Confidential Information
      belonging to the Corporation, or its Related Corporations.

     

    12.4  The
      Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation would suffer irreparable
      harm in the event that any Confidential Information or other knowledge and
      experience acquired by the Executive in relation to the business of the
      Corporation were disclosed to a competitor of the Corporation or used for a
      competitive purpose for a reasonable period of time following the termination
      of
      his employment. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event his
      employment with the Corporation is terminated for Cause by the Corporation,
      or
      in the event that the Executive voluntarily resigns his employment with the
      Corporation, neither he nor any employee or agent of the Executive shall, for
      a
      period of twelve (12) months from the Termination Date:

              be
                engaged, either directly or indirectly in any manner including, without
                limitation, as an officer, director, shareholder, owner, partner,
                member,
                joint venturer, employee, independent contractor, consultant, advisor
                or
                sales representative, in any business or enterprise which competes
                with
                the business of the Corporation or any Related Corporation, as such
                business was conducted as of the Termination Date, with the exception
                that
                the Executive may be involved as an investor or shareholder in securities
                issued by corporations that do not compete directly or indirectly
                with the
                business of the Corporation, or where such investment constitutes
                not more
                than five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of a business
                or
                corporation whose shares are traded on a national securities
                exchange;

            

    

     

    
      	(b)  	
              solicit,
                entice or attempt to solicit or entice, either directly or indirectly,
                any
                customer or prospective customer of the Corporation or any Related
                Corporation as at the Termination Date, to become a customer of any
                business or enterprise which competes with the Corporation or any
                Related
                Corporation for any business as such business was conducted by the
                Corporation or any Related Corporation as at the Termination Date;
                or

            

    

     

    
      	(c)  	
              solicit
                or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, either directly or indirectly,
                any employee of the Corporation or any Related Corporation as at
                the
                Termination Date, to become employed by or connected with any business
                or
                enterprise which competes with the Corporation or any Related Corporation
                for any business as such business was conducted by the Corporation
                or any
                Related Corporation as at the Termination Date.

            

    

     

    The
      restrictions set out in this Section 12.4 shall apply only within the Territory
      or to any business that directly relates to the Territory.

     

    12.5  In
      the
      event that the Executive's employment is terminated by the Executive as the
      result of a Change of Control or a Triggering Event in accordance with Section
      10.2, or by the Corporation for any reason other than Cause, the restrictions
      set out in Section 12.4 shall apply for the shorter of the duration of the
      Notice Period or, in the event the Agreement is terminated during the three
      (3)
      month period immediately following the Effective Date, the duration of that
      three (3) month period.

     

    12.6  The
      Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation will suffer harm in
      the
      event that the Executive breaches any of the obligations under this Article
      12,
      and that monetary damages would be difficult to quantify and may be inadequate
      to compensate the Corporation for such a breach. Accordingly, the Executive
      agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by the Executive
      of
      any of the provisions of this Article 12, the Corporation shall be entitled
      to
      seek, in addition to any other rights, remedies or damages available to the
      Corporation at law or in equity, an interim and permanent injunction, in order
      to prevent or restrain any such breach or threatened breach by the
      Executive.

    12.7  The
      Executive hereby agrees that all restrictions contained in this Article
      12 are
      reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate proprietary interests of
      the
      Corporation, and will not unduly restrict his ability to secure comparable
      alternative employment following the termination of his employment for any
      reason. If any covenant or provision of this Article 12 is determined to be
      void
      or unenforceable in whole or in part, for any reason, it shall be deemed not
      to
      affect or impair the validity of any other covenant or provision of this
      Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

      to
      the Termination Date.

     

    13.3  The
