agrees, upon the request of the Company or the underwriters managing such

sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any
Company Shares or Company Options without the prior written consent of the
Company and such underwriters, as the case may be, for a period of time, not to
exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of such
registration; provided that all executive officers, directors and 5% or greater
shareholders of the Company enter into similar agreements. Such agreement shall
be in writing in the form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such
underwriter. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to
the shares subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of said 180-day
period.
B. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. Each instrument evidencing the Company
-------------------
Shares or the Company Options which the Investor may purchase hereunder and any
other securities issued upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation or similar event (unless no longer required in the opinion
of the counsel for the Company) shall be imprinted with legends substantially in
the following form as well as any additional legend(s) as may be required by the
Department of Corporations pursuant to any qualification or "fairness hearing":
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE
OFFERED OR SOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT UNLESS THE CORPORATION
RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, THAT AN
EXEMPTION
-5-
FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE OR SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
PURSUANT TO REGULATION S UNDER THE ACT.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN JUNE ___, 1996, COMMON

THE CORPORATION.
The Company shall be entitled to enter stop transfer notices on its transfer
books with respect to the Company Shares during periods when transfers are

C. POOLING. Each Shareholder and Optionholder will not, within the
-------
thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the Closing, sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of, or reduce its interest in or risk relating to, any shares
of MTC Domestic or the Company which it owns. In addition, each Shareholder and
Optionholder will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or reduce its
interest in or risk relating to, any shares of the Company's stock issued
hereunder in a manner which might prevent treating the transactions contemplated
hereunder as poolable transactions for accounting purposes.
7. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION.
A. THE CORPORATION'S OBLIGATION TO REGISTER. If the Company at any
-----------------------------------------
time proposes to register any of its securities under the Act (other than a
registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan, a
transaction to which Rule 145 of the Commission is applicable or any other form
or type of registration in which "Registrable Securities" (as defined below)
cannot be included pursuant to Commission regulation, rule or practice), then
all Shareholder parties and Optionholder parties to this Agreement, as well as
all NetSource Interactive shareholders and optionholders under the NetSource
Merger and all shareholders and optionholders under the MTC International
Exchange shall receive written notice from the Company (the "Company Notice") of
its intention to make such registration (all common stock issued pursuant to
such transactions and all common stock issuable under options which were issued
pursuant to such transactions are referred to herein as "Registrable
Securities"). If such registration is proposed to be on a form which permits
inclusion of the Registrable Securities, then upon the written request of any
holders of the Registrable Securities given within ten (10) days after
transmittal by the Company to such holders of the Company Notice, the Company
will, subject to the limits contained in this Section, use its reasonable
efforts to cause such Registrable Securities of said requesting holders to be
registered under the Act, all to the extent requisite to permit such sale or
other disposition by such holders of the Registrable Securities so registered.
B. LIMITATIONS\CUTBACKS. The right of any such holder to request
---------------------
inclusion in the registration pursuant to this Section 7 shall terminate (i)
upon the fourth anniversary date of the Closing or (ii) at such time that all
shares of Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by
such holder may be publicly sold under Rule 144 or any applicable exemption or
registration statement during any 90-day period. Furthermore, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section, if the underwriter managing such
registration notifies the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that
market or economic conditions limit the amount of securities which may
reasonably be expected to be sold or that inclusion of such Registrable
Securities would jeopardize the success of the offering, then the Company may
exclude all or any portion of such Registrable Securities; provided, however,
that such cutback shall be pro rata among all holders desiring to participate in
such registration based on the number of shares of Registrable Securities held
by such holders.
-6-
C. FURTHER DOCUMENTS. Any holder of Registrable Securities
------------------
desiring to participate in a registration under this Section 7 shall enter into
such further agreements, including indemnification and customary underwriting
agreements, as the Company and the managing underwriter shall reasonably
require.
7. MISCELLANEOUS

permit the MTC Domestic Exchange to qualify for "pooling of interests"
accounting treatment.

Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, but only by a statement in writing signed by the party
