      COMMON
STOCK WARRANT

      

      This
Warrant is issued effective as of January 1, 2007 (the “Warrant Issue Date”) to Daniel
Goldberg (“Holder”), by
ACCELERIZE NEW MEDIA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) in connection with
the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December __, 2006 by and among the
Company, Holder and the other parties thereto (the “Asset Purchase
Agreement”).

       

      1.           Purchase of
Shares.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the
Holder in writing), to purchase from the Company up to 250,000 shares of the
Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to
the terms of Section 2.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to this Section 1 (the “Shares”) shall be subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

       

      2.           Term and Exerciseability of
Warrant.  This Warrant may be exercised only to the extent
vested from time to time.

       

      (a)           Subject
to the provisions below, this Warrant will vest 100% on the eighteen (18) month
anniversary of the date hereof (the “Warrant Vesting Date”), but
will only be exerciseable if, and to the extent, the Special Vesting Provisions
set forth on Schedule 1 have been met

       

      (b)           This
Warrant shall fully vest and become exercisable immediately prior to the
effective date of a Change in Control (defined below).

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (c)           For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in Control” shall mean (i) the sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) the sale of more
than 50% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company in a non-public sale,
(iii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or (iv) any merger, share
exchange, consolidation or other reorganization or business combination of the
Company if immediately after such transaction of either (A) persons who were
directors of the Company immediately prior to such transaction do not constitute
at least a majority of the directors of the surviving entity, or (B) persons who
hold a majority of the voting capital stock of the surviving entity are not
persons who held a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company
immediately prior to the transaction; provided, however, that the
term “Change in Control” shall not include a public offering of capital stock of
the Company that is effected pursuant to a registration statement filed with,
and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933.

       

      (d)           If
the Holder dies before this Warrant has been exercised in full, the executor,
administrator or personal representative of the estate of the Holder may
exercise this Warrant as set forth in this paragraph; provided that such
exercise must be within twelve (12) months of Holder’s death.

       

      3.           Exercise
Price.  The exercise price per share for which the Shares may
be purchased pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall be $.15 per share, and
shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8 hereof (such price, as
adjusted from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price”).

       

      (a)           Exercise
Period.  This Warrant may be exercised to the extent vested, in
whole or in part, commencing on the Warrant Vesting Date and ending at 5:00
p.m., United States Eastern Time, on the fifth anniversary of the Warrant Issue
Date (the “Expiration
Date”).  For the avoidance of doubt, if any part of this
Warrant remains unvested or unexercised after the Expiration Date, the Holder’s
rights with respect to such shares shall extinguish and this Warrant shall no
longer be of any force or effect.

       

      4.           Method of
Exercise.  While this Warrant remains outstanding and
exercisable in accordance with Sections 2 and 3 above, the Holder may
exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced
hereby.  Such exercise shall be effected by:

       

      (a)           the
surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the form of
Notice of Election attached hereto, to the President of the Company at its
principal offices; and

       

      (b)           the
payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for
the number of Shares being purchased.  This Warrant can also be
exercised at Holder’s discretion, in whole or in part, in a “cashless”
exercise.  In a cashless exercise, the right to purchase each share of
Common Stock may be exchanged for that number of shares of Common Stock
determined by multiplying the number one (1) by a fraction, the numerator of
which will be the difference between (y) the then current Fair Market Value and
(z) the exercise price, and the denominator of which will be the then current
Fair Market Value.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      5.           Fair Market Value.
Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of a particular
date  (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:

      

      
        	
              	
                (a)

              	
                If
      the Company’s Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on The
      Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., then the last sale price reported for the last
      business day immediately preceding the Determination
  Date;

              

      

      
        	
              	
                (b)

              	
                If
      the Company’s Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or quoted on The
      Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., but is traded in the over-the-counter market,
      then the average of the closing bid and ask prices reported for the last
      business day immediately preceding the Determination
  Date;

              

      

      
        	
              	
                (c)

              	
                Except
      as provided in clause (d) below, if the Company’s Common Stock is not
      publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Company agree, or in the
      absence of such an agreement, by arbitration in accordance with the rules
      then standing of the American Arbitration Association, before a single
      arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education and
      training to pass on the matter to be decided;
or

              

      

      
        	
              	
                (d)

              	
                If
      the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution, or
      winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or
      winding up pursuant to the Company’s charter, then all amounts to be
      payable per shares to holders of the Common Stock pursuant to the charter
      in the event of such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, plus all
      other amounts to be payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in
      liquidation under the charter, assuming that the purposes of this clause
      (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of
      all of the Warrants are outstanding at the Determination
    Date.

              

      

      

      6.           Certificates for
Shares.  Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by
this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased
shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter (with appropriate restrictive
legends, if applicable), and in any event within three (3) business 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 in compliance with applicable securities
laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or other securities) to
which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise.

       

      7.           Issuance of
Shares.  The Company covenants that the Shares, when issued
pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect
to the issuance thereof.  The Company further covenants and agrees
that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for
the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the rights evidenced by this
Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued capital stock,
or other securities and property, when and as required to provide for the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.  The Company will
take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of capital
stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law
or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon
which the capital stock may be listed.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      8.           Adjustment of Exercise Price
and Number of Shares.  The number of and kind of securities
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:

       

      (a)           In
the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock are hereafter exchanged
for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, by
reason of a reorganization, recapitalization, exchange of shares, stock split,
combination of shares or dividend payable in shares or other securities, a
corresponding adjustment shall be made by the board of directors of the Company
(the “Board”) in the
number and kind of shares or other securities covered by this
Warrant.  Any such adjustment shall be made without change in the
total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Warrant, but the price
per share specified in this Agreement shall be correspondingly
adjusted.

       

      (b)           If,
while this Warrant is unexercised and remains outstanding, the Company merges or
consolidates with a wholly-owned Subsidiary for the purpose of reincorporating
itself under the laws of another jurisdiction, the Holder will be entitled to
acquire shares of common stock of the reincorporated Company upon the same terms
and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to such reincorporation
(unless such reincorporation involves a change in the number of shares or the
capitalization of the Company, in which case proportional adjustments shall be
made as provided above).

       

      (c)           Except
as expressly provided to the contrary in this Section 8, the issuance by the
Company of shares of stock of any class for cash or property or for services,
either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants, or upon
conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares
or other securities, shall not affect the number, class or price of shares of
Common Stock then subject to outstanding Warrants.

       

      (d)           Notice of
Adjustment.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the
number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and
of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable
upon exercise of this Warrant.

       

      9.           Registration
Rights.  If at any time, or from time to time, during the
five-year period following the issuance of the Warrant the Company, shall
determine to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or
the account of others under the Act of any of its equity securities or debt or
their then equivalents (the "Registration Statement"), then the Company shall
send to the Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within ten
(10) days after receipt by the Holder, the Company shall receive a request in
writing from the Holder, the Company shall include in such Registration
Statement all or any part of such Shares such Holder  requests to be
registered, provided, however, that (a) if, at any time after giving written
notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective
date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration,
the Company determines for any reason not to proceed with such registration, the
Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Shares in connection
with such registration, and (b) in case of a determination by the Company to
delay registration of its securities, the Company will be permitted to delay the
registration of the Shares for the same period as the delay in registering such
other securities, in any such case without any obligation or liability to the
Holder.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      10.           Nonassignability of
Rights.  This Warrant shall not be assignable or transferable
by the Holder except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and
during the life of the Holder, this Warrant shall be exercisable only by
him.

       

      11.           Confidentiality.  The
Holder hereby agrees that the entire contents of this Agreement are confidential
at all times, and that the Warrant’s exercisability is conditioned on his
compliance with this covenant; provided, however, that the
Holder may disclose the contents of this Agreement to his spouse and to his
legal and financial advisors.

       

      12.           Compliance with Securities
Act.  The Company shall not be obligated to sell or issue any
shares of Common Stock or other securities pursuant to the exercise of this
Warrant unless the shares of Common Stock or other securities with respect to
which this Warrant is being exercised are at that time effectively registered or
exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws.  In the event shares or other securities shall be
issued that shall not be so registered, the Holder hereby represents, warrants
and agrees that he will receive such shares or other securities for investment
and not with a view to their resale or distribution, and will execute an
appropriate investment letter satisfactory to the Company and its
counsel.

       

      13.           Legends.  The
Holder hereby acknowledges that the stock certificate or certificates evidencing
shares of Common Stock or other securities issued pursuant to any exercise of
this Warrant may bear a legend setting forth the restrictions on their
transferability described in 12 hereof.

       

      14.           Rights as
Stockholder.  The Holder shall have no rights as a stockholder
with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other securities covered by this
Warrant until the date of issuance of a certificate to him or her for such
shares or other securities.  No adjustment shall be made for dividends
or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock
certificate is issued, except as required or permitted by Section 8
hereof.

       

      15.           Amendment;
Waivers.  This Agreement, contains the full and complete
understanding and agreement of the parties hereto as to the subject matter
hereof and, except as otherwise permitted by the express terms of this
Agreement, it may not be modified or amended, nor may any provision hereof be
waived, except by a further written agreement duly signed by each of the
parties; provided, however, that a
modification or amendment that does not adversely affect the rights of the
Holder hereunder, as they may exist immediately before the effective date of the
modification or amendment, shall be effective upon written notice of its
provisions to the Holder.  The waiver by either of the parties hereto
of any provision hereof in any instance shall not operate as a waiver of any
other provision hereof or in any other instance.

       

      16.           Binding
Effect.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and, to the extent provided herein, their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, successors and
assigns.

      17.           Construction.  The
titles of the sections of this Agreement are included for convenience only and
shall not be construed as modifying or affecting their
provisions.  The masculine gender shall include both sexes; the
singular shall include the plural and the plural the singular unless the context
otherwise requires.

       

      18.           Governing
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of New York (other
than the law governing conflict of law questions).

       

      19.           Notices.  Any
notice in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been properly
delivered if it is in writing and is delivered by hand or facsimile or sent by

    RE: Loan to Global Gold
Corporation and Royalty

    

    Dear
Ian:

    

     Following up on our discussions,
this letter confirms the restructured repayment and royalty terms of for:
(1)  the loan you are making to Global Gold Corporation (the
“Company”) pursuant to this agreement of  $289,632.88; (2) the loans
you have made earlier this year to the Company (the first, second and third
being pursuant to the agreements dated February 7, 2008, March 10, 2008, and
April 14, 2008); and (3) the “advance” you made to the Company (pursuant to the
Sale of Chilean Interests agreement dated July 31, 2008, and together with the
amounts referred to in (1) and (2) above collectively referred to here as the
“Loan,” all acknowledged as being made by  you, Ian Hague, in your
personal capacity only and not acting on behalf of any other person or entity.)
As of September 23, 2008, the total principal amount of the Loan is
$3,500,000.

    

    The Loan
shall accrue interest, from September 23, 2008 until the day it is repaid by the
Company, at an annual rate of 10% (the “Interest”). Interest shall be calculated
on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and charged for the
actual number of days elapsed. The Company agrees to repay the Loan, in full,
and all the Interest accrued thereon in equal monthly installments including
principal and accrued interest commencing June 1, 2009 and continuing until the
loan is fully repaid with the final payment on May 1, 2011.   The
Company may prepay this loan in full at any time.

     

    
      In
addition, The Company hereby grants you a 1.75% royalty payable from
distributions to the Company from the sale of gold and all other metals produced
from the Madre De Dios property currently included in the Global Gold Valdivia
joint venture with members of the Quijano family and as referenced in the
Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Royalty”).
The Royalty shall be paid quarterly, subject to the Company’s receipt of the
Joint Venture’s distributions, and shall be accompanied by a statement
summarizing the calculations for the payment. The quarterly Royalty payments
will be provisional and subject to adjustment at the end of the Joint Venture’s
accounting year.  Upon reasonable notice and within no less than
thirty days from such notice but no more than two times per year, you shall be
entitled to inspect and audit production and sales records of the Company’s
Joint Venture interest.

    

    

    Thank you
again for your help, and please countersign below if these terms confirm our
agreement.

    

    
      	
              Sincerely,

      and Agreed
