shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, or all
Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, no payment shall be made in respect
of the principal of or interest on this Note, unless within three (3) months
after the happening of such event of default, the maturity of such Indebtedness

                               WARRANT TO PURCHASE
                             SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

================================================================================

                  Effective May 24, 2005 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE")

            THIS WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES
            SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY
            APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE SOLD,
            OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF OR
            TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION
            THEREFROM UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
            LAWS.

         THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, SOS RESOURCE SERVICES, INC, or
its registered assigns ("Holder"), is entitled to purchase, subject to the
conditions set forth below, at any time or from time to time during the Exercise
Period (as defined in SUBSECTION 1.2 below), FIFTY THOUSAND (50,000) shares
("SHARES") of fully paid and non-assessable common stock, par value $ 0.0167 per
share (the "COMMON STOCK"), of LOCAL TELECOM SYSTEMS, INC., a Nevada corporation
(the "COMPANY"), at the per share purchase price (the "WARRANT PRICE") set forth
in SUBSECTION 1.1 below, subject to the further provisions of this Warrant.

the Shares subject hereto may be purchased, are as follows:

         WARRANT PRICE. The Warrant Price shall be USD $0.20 per Share, subject
to adjustment as provided in SECTION 4 below.

         METHOD OF EXERCISE. Holder may at any time from the Effective Date and
for three (3) years thereafter, or such later date as the Company may in its
sole discretion determine (the "EXERCISE PERIOD"), exercise in whole or in part
the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant. Such exercise shall be effected
by:

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

                  the surrender of this Warrant, together with a duly executed
         copy of the form of subscription attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, to the
         Secretary of the Company at its principal offices;

                  the payment to the Company, by cash, certified or cashier's
         check payable to Company's order or wire transfer to the Company's
         account, of an amount equal to the aggregate Warrant Price for the
         number of Shares for which the purchase rights hereunder are being
         exercised. Alternatively if then permitted under applicable securities
         laws, Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company:
         (i) a properly executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable
         instructions to a NASD-member securities broker to promptly deliver to
         the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company in
         the full amount of the exercise price for the total number of Shares
         being purchased (if the Holder and the securities broker comply with
         such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other
         agreements as the Company may prescribe as a condition of that payment
         procedure) or (ii) shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any and
         all liens, claims and encumbrances, having an aggregate Fair Value (as
         defined herein below) equal to the full amount of the exercise price
         for the total number of Shares being purchased. The Holder may also
         make payment in any combination of the permissible forms of payment
         described in the preceding sentence. Fair Value of a share of Common
         Stock (for purposes of this section) means (a) if the primary market
         for the Shares is a National Securities Exchange, the NASDAQ National
         Market System, or any other market or quotation system in which last
         sale transactions are reported on a contemporaneous basis, the last
         reported sales price of such Shares, as of the time of authorization of
         the transaction giving rise to the right to receive such Shares; or (b)
         if the primary market for such Shares is not an exchange or quotation
         system, the fair value thereof as shall be determined in good faith by
         the Board of Directors of the Company at the time of authorization of
         the transaction giving rise to the right to receive such Shares; and

                  the delivery to the Company, if necessary in the discretion of
         counsel for the Company, to assure compliance with the Securities Act,
         and applicable state securities laws, of an instrument executed by
         holder certifying that the Shares are being purchased solely for the
         account of Holder and not with a view to any resale or distribution in
         violation of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.

         ISSUANCE OF SHARES AND NEW WARRANT. If the purchase rights evidenced by
this Warrant are exercised in whole or in part, one or more certificates for the
purchased Shares shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter to Holder. If
the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant are exercised only in part, the
Company shall also deliver to Holder at such time a new Warrant evidencing the
purchase rights regarding the number of Shares (if any) for which the purchase
rights under this Warrant remain unexercised and continue in force and effect.
All new Warrants issued in connection with the provisions of this SECTION 1.3

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

shall bear the same date as this Warrant and shall be substantially identical in
form and provisions to this Warrant except for the number of Shares purchasable
thereunder. Each person in whose name any certificate for Shares is to be issued
shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such
Shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the
Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such stock
certificate, except that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date
when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be
deemed to have become the holder of such Shares at the close of business on the
next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

TRANSFERS

         TRANSFERS. As long as it does not constitute an illegal public
distribution, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or
in part by the Holder. The transfer shall be recorded on the books of the
Company upon (i) the surrender of this Warrant (together with a duly executed
and endorsed copy of the form of transfer certificate attached hereto as EXHIBIT
B) to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices, and (ii) the
payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges
imposed on such transfer. In the event of a partial transfer, the Company shall
issue to the several holders one or more appropriate new Warrants.

         REGISTERED HOLDER. Each holder of this Warrant agrees that until such
time as any transfer pursuant to SUBSECTION 2.1 above is recorded on the books
of the Company, the Company may treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as
the absolute owner.

         FORM OF NEW WARRANTS. All new Warrants issued in connection with
transfers of this Warrant shall bear the same date as this Warrant and shall be
substantially identical in form and provisions to this Warrant except for the
number of Shares purchasable thereunder.

NO FRACTIONAL SHARES

         Notwithstanding any adjustment (as required hereby) to the number of
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall not be
required to issue any fraction of a Share upon exercise of this Warrant. If, by
reason of any change made pursuant to SECTION 4 below, the Holder would be
entitled, upon the exercise of any rights evidenced hereby, to receive a
fractional interest in a Share, the Company shall, upon such proper exercise of
this Warrant, purchase such fractional interest for an amount in cash equal to
the Fair Market Value of such fractional interest, determined as of the date of
such exercise of this Warrant. For purposes of this SECTION 3, the term "Fair
Market Value" means (a) if the primary market for the Shares is a National
Securities Exchange, the NASDAQ National Market System, or any other market or
quotation system in which last sale transactions are reported on a
contemporaneous basis, the last reported sales price of such Shares, as of the
time of authorization of the transaction giving rise to the right to receive
such Shares; or (b) if the primary market for such Shares is not an exchange or
quotation system, the fair value thereof as shall be determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company at the time of authorization of the
transaction giving rise to the right to receive such Shares.

ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS

         STOCK SPLITS AND COMBINATIONS. If the Common Stock shall at any time be
subdivided into a greater number of shares, then the number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased and
the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the Common Stock shall
at any time be combined into a smaller number of Shares, the number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be unaffected and the Warrant
Price shall be proportionally increased. Any adjustments under this SUBSECTION
4.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision
or combination becomes effective.

         RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE AND SUBSTITUTION. If the Common Stock shall
be changed into shares of any other class or classes of stock or other
securities of the Company, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification,
or otherwise, Holder shall, upon exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to
purchase for the same aggregate consideration, in lieu of the Shares that Holder
would have become entitled to purchase but for such change, a number of shares
of such other class or classes of stock or other securities of the Company
equivalent to the number of Shares that would have been subject to purchase by
Holder on exercise of this Warrant immediately before that change. Any
adjustments under this SUBSECTION 4.2 shall become effective at the close of
business on the date such change of th e Common Stock into shares of any other
class or classes of stock or other securities of the Company becomes effective.

         REORGANIZATIONS, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS OR SALE OF ASSETS. If at any
time there shall be a reorganization involving the Common Stock (other than a
stock split, combination, reclassification, exchange, or subdivision of shares
provided for in SUBSECTIONS 4.1 and 4.2 above) or a merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets to any other person, then, as a part
of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, lawful provision shall be
made so that Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of
this Warrant, in accordance with the terms hereof, in lieu of the Shares that
Holder would have become entitled to purchase but for such event, such other
securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting
from such event, to which Holder would have been entitled in such
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale if this Warrant had been exercised
immediately before that reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale. In any
such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's
Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this
Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of Holder after the
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale to the end that the provisions of
this Warrant (including adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect and
number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable
after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or
other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

         ADJUSTMENTS OF OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company shall at any time
declare and pay or deliver to the holders of Common Stock a distribution payable
in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company
or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights, in any
case of a kind not referred to above, then, upon exercise of this Warrant,
Holder shall be entitled to receive a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though Holder was the holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock into which this Warrant may be exercised as of the record date fixed for
the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
distribution.

         CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In the case of each adjustment
(including a readjustment) under this SECTION 4, the Company will promptly, and
in any event within thirty (30) days after the event requiring the adjustment,
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and deliver or cause
to be delivered to Holder a certificate describing in reasonable detail the
event requiring the adjustment and setting forth such adjustment and the
calculations and results of such adjustment.

         RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE. The Company shall at all
times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant. 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 such 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.

         METHOD OF CALCULATION. All calculations under this SECTION 4 shall be
made to the nearest one hundredth of a share.

RIGHTS PRIOR TO EXERCISE OF WARRANT

         This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company, including (without limitation) the right to receive
dividends or other distributions, to vote or consent, or to receive notice as a
stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of
this Warrant and prior to its exercise,

                  the Company shall declare any dividend payable in any
         securities upon outstanding shares of Common Stock or make any other
         distribution (other than a regular cash dividend) to the holders of
         shares of Common Stock;

                  the Company shall offer to the holders of shares of Common
         Stock any additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible
         into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or any right to
         subscribe for or purchase any thereof; or

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

                  a dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company (other
         than in connection with a reorganization, consolidation, merger, or
         sale of all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety) shall be
         approved by the Company's Board of Directors,

then, in any one or more of such events the Company shall give notice in writing
of such event to Holder, at its address as it shall then appear on the Company's
records, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or
the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders
entitled to such dividends, distribution, or subscription rights, or for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall specify such record date or the
date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be.

         Any failure to give such notice or any defect therein, however, shall
not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with such dividend,
distribution or subscription rights, or such proposed dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up.
