THIS STOCK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of June __,
1999, is entered into by and between World Callnet, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Buyer") and the Stockholder whose name is listed on the signature page hereto
(the "Seller"). The Buyer and the Seller are collectively referred to herein as
the "Parties."
A. The Seller owns ____ shares (the "Callnet Shares") of the capital
stock (the "Callnet Stock") of Callnet, Plc (the "Target") and an option to
purchase Callnet Stock (the "Callnet Option"), both as set forth in Exhibit A.
B. This Agreement contemplates a transaction (the "Acquisition") in
which the Buyer will exchange with the Seller, and the Seller will exchange with
the Buyer, the Callnet Shares in return for the issuance of certain shares of
the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "WCN Common Stock"), of the
Buyer. In connection with the Acquisition, Buyer will seek to enter into similar
agreements with the other shareholders of Target with the objective of Buyer
acquiring all or substantially all of the Callnet Stock based on a similar
purchase price.
C. Buyer will also seek to acquire the Callnet Option and all or
substantially all of the other options to acquire Callnet Stock pursuant to
option exchange agreements (an "Option Exchange Agreement") based on a similar
exchange ratio.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements herein made, and in consideration of the
representations, warranties, and covenants herein contained, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

2. Purchase and Sale of the Callnet Shares; Irrevocable Proxy.
(a) Basic Transaction. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, the Seller hereby irrevocably sells, assigns, transfers and
delivers to the Buyer good and valid title to all of the Callnet Shares, free
and clear of all Security Interests (other than restrictions imposed under
applicable securities laws).
(b) Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, and in consideration of the sale, assignment, transfer and
delivery of the Shares, the Buyer will issue __________ shares (the "WCN
Shares") of the WCN Common Stock (the "Purchase Price") in exchange for the
Callnet Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
each Callnet Share owned and held of record by the Seller is hereby exchanged
for forty (40) shares of WCN Common Stock.
(c) Conditions Precedent. The Buyer's obligation to purchase the
Callnet Shares from the Seller is subject to and conditioned upon the
fulfillment on or prior to the Closing (as hereafter defined) of the following
conditions, which may be waived in whole or in part by the Buyer: (i) the
receipt of a fairness opinion from its investment banker, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx &
Company, Inc., that states that the Acquisition is fair from a financial point
of view to the Buyer and (ii) the acquisition by the Buyer of all or at least
eighty percent (80%) of the Callnet Stock.
(d) The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Buyer commencing at

waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Buyer to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby or such other date as the Buyer and the Seller
may mutually determine (the "Closing Date").
(e) Irrevocable Proxy. This Agreement also constitutes the Seller's
irrevocable proxy in favor of the Buyer to vote all of the Callnet Shares in
favor of the merger (the "Merger") of Target with and into the Buyer, or a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer, on the same terms as the Acquisition in
the event that the Buyer and the Target agree to pursue the Merger instead of
the Buyer purchasing all or substantially all of the Callnet Stock and options
to acquire Callnet Stock directly from the Callnet shareholders and Callnet
optionholders. This irrevocable proxy is acknowledged and deemed to be coupled
with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the earlier of three months from
the date hereof or the Buyer acquiring the Callnet Shares.
