THIS WARRANT (the

limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth,
at any time on or after March 25, 2008 (the “
Initial Exercise Date ”) and on or prior to the fifth-year anniversary of the
Initial Exercise Date (the “ Termination Date ”), but not
thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from i2 Telecom

Company ”), up to
5,000,000 shares (the “ Warrant
Shares ”) of common stock, no par
value per share, of the Company (the “ Common Stock ”). The purchase
price of each share of Common Stock (the “
Exercise Price ”)
under this Warrant shall be $0.10, subject to adjustment
hereunder.
1. Title
to Warrant . Prior to the Termination
Date and subject to compliance with applicable laws and Section 7
of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the
Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form
attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the “ Assignment
Form ”), properly
endorsed.

issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by

nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect

(a) Exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time
or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the
Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing
to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on
the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the
Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B (the
“Notice of Exercise”)
; provided
, however
, within three (3) Business Days of the date said
Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Holder shall
have surrendered this Warrant to the Company, and, if the Holder
has not elected to make a cashless exercise as provided below, the
Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price
of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s
check drawn on a United States bank. Certificates for Warrant
Shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder no
later than three (3) Business Days after the delivery to the
Company of the Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant and,
if the Holder has not elected to make a cashless exercise as
provided below, payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set
forth above (“ Warrant Share
Delivery Date ”). Prior to the
issuance of such Warrant Shares, if the Company fails to deliver to
the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant
Shares pursuant to this Section 3(a) by the Warrant Share Delivery
Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any
other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity,
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s
failure to timely deliver certificates representing Warrant Shares
as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b) If this
Warrant shall have been exercised in part, then the Company shall,
at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant
Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all
other respects be identical with this Warrant.
(c) In the
event that the Holder elects to make a cashless exercise as
provided above, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the result obtained by
(i) subtracting B from A, (ii) multiplying the difference
by C, and (iii) dividing the product by A, as set forth in the
following equation:
A
|
|
X
|
= the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon a cashless exercise of the Warrant
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.
|
|
|
A
|
= the Fair Market Value
(as defined below) of one share of Common Stock on the date of net
issuance exercise.
|
|
|
B
|
=
|
the Exercise Price for one share of Common Stock
under this Warrant.
|
|
|
C
|
= the number of shares
of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is exercisable.
|
If the foregoing calculation results in a negative
number, then no shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon a
cashless exercise.
For the purpose of such calculations, the fair
market value per share of the shares of Common Stock shall be, (i)
if the cashless exercise of the Warrant is in connection with a
secondary public offering of the Company’s Common Stock, the
public offering price (before deducting commission, discounts or
expenses) at which the Common Stock is sold in such offering, (ii)
if a public market for the Company’s Common Stock exists at
the time of such exercise, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market
Summary or the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or
closing price quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or on any
exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is
applicable, as published in The Wall
Street Journal for the five (5) trading
days prior to the date of determination of fair market value; or
(iii) if there is no public market for the Company’s Common
Stock, determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good
faith.
4.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip
. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise
be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall round
such fraction of a share up to the nearest whole share.
5.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses
. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall
be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such
certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the
Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the
Holder; provided , however ,
that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued
in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when
surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment
Form duly executed by the Holder, and the Company may require, as a
condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it
for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
6.
Closing of Books . The
Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any
manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant
to the terms hereof.

Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or
combined in accordance with such notice.

Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other
than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section
7.

transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the 1933 Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky
laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such
transfer: (i) that the Holder or assignee of this Warrant, as the
case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel
(which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for

such transfer may be made without registration under the 1933 Act
and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws; (ii) that
the Holder or assignee execute and deliver to the Company an
investment representation letter in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company; and (iii) that the assignee be an

as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the 1933 Act.

copy, and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and the
payment of all taxes required to be paid by the Holder prior to the
issuance of the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 5, if any,
the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued
to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close
of business on the later of the date of such surrender, delivery or
payment.
