the Company by express courier. Each Business Day on which a Notice of
Conversion is sent by facsimile transmission to the Company in accordance with
the provisions hereof shall be deemed a conversion date (the "Conversion Date").
The Company shall deliver the certificates representing shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Shares (together with the certificates
representing the Preferred Shares not so converted) to the Investor via express
courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise within five Business Days after the
conversion date if the Company has received the original Notice of Conversion
and Preferred Shares certificate being so converted by such date. In addition to
any other remedies which may be available to the Investors, in the event that
the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such shares of Common
Stock within such five Business Day period, the Investors will be entitled to
revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect
to the Company whereupon the Company and the Investors shall each be restored to
their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of
Conversion. The Notice of Conversion and Preferred Shares representing the
portion of the shares converted shall be delivered to the Company at its address

immediately available funds, as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a
penalty, for each $100,000 of Preferred Shares sought to be converted, $500 for
each of the first ten (10) days and $1,000 per day thereafter that the
Conversion Shares are not delivered, which liquidated damages shall run from the
sixth (6th) Business Day after the Conversion Date up until the time that either
the Notice of Conversion is revoked or the Common Stock has been delivered, at
which time liquidated damages shall cease.
(f) REDEMPTION. The Company shall have the right to redeem the Preferred
Shares on any Business Day before their conversion by giving the Investor
written notice of its election to do so (the "Redemption Notice") specifying the
date on which the Company shall redeem the shares (the Redemption Date), and by
depositing the Redemption Price (as hereafter defined) with the Escrow Agent not
later than three Business Days before the Redemption Date. The Redemption Date
shall not be later than the fifth Business Day after the date on which the
Company gives the Redemption Notice. The Investor may not send a Notice of
Conversion after receipt of Redemption Notice, unless the Company does not
redeem the Preferred Shares on the Redemption Date. On or before the Redemption
Date, the Investor shall deliver any Preferred Shares that it elects not to
convert to the Escrow Agent, against payment of the Redemption Price. The
Redemption Price shall be 125% of the Purchase Price of the Preferred Shares,
plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. If the Company does not deposit

satisfactory to the Investor, with respect to those 4,329,004 shares of Class A
non-voting preferred stock of Interpretel (Canada) (the "Class A Shares") held
by Softalk. The Lockup Agreement shall provide that the Class A Shares may not
be exchanged for shares of Wavetech Common Stock for a period of one year
following the Closing Date; provided, however, that such restriction shall
terminate at such time as any person seeks to acquire, or offers or proposes to
acquire, or agrees to acquire directly or indirectly, whether by purchase,
tender or exchange offer, through the acquisition of control of another person,
by joining a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other "group"
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise,
beneficial ownership of any voting securities of the Company if such acquisition
would result in the purchaser's aggregate percentage ownership of the Company's
voting securities exceeding 35% of the Company's issued and outstanding voting
securities (on a fully-diluted basis). The Lockup Agreement shall also provide
that the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants previously issued by the
Company to Softalk shall be sold in accordance with the "leak out" provisions of
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, including any warrants transferred by Softalk
to any affiliate or employee of Softalk."
Section 5.3. LIMITATION ON PIK DIVIDENDS. Notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraph 3(b) of the Certificate of Designation, the Company shall not elect to
pay dividends on the Preferred Shares in shares of Common Stock, and shall pay
such dividends only in cash, unless at the time of payment, (i) the Registration
Statement with respect to such shares of Common Stock shall be effective, and
(ii) and the payment of such dividend in shares of Common Stock would not cause
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Investor, calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, to
exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.
Section 5.4. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON FINANCINGS. As used in this
paragraph, "Capital Financing Transaction" means (a) the sale of any of the
Company's (i) equity securities, or (ii) securities that are convertible into or
exchangeable for equity securities, or (iii) debt securities having a maturity
of more than 270 days; or (b) loans to the Company having a maturity of more
than one year; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a Capital Financing Transaction does not
include the sale of Common Stock or the issuance of options to purchase Common
Stock made to directors, officers, employees or consultants to the Company
pursuant to bona fide employment, benefit or compensation plans, or loans
incurred by the Company in the ordinary course of business that are primarily
for operating purposes and not for capital financing purposes. For a period of
one year from the Effective Date, the Company shall not engage in, or commit to
engage in, any Capital Financing Transaction, other than in a firmly
underwritten public offering, without having given the Investor, 30 days' prior
written notice of its intention to engage in such Capital Financing Transaction,
which notice shall set forth all of the material terms of the proposed
transaction, and offering the Investor and its financial advisors, Thomson
Kernaghan & Co. Limited and Southridge Capital Management LLC, the right of
first refusal during that 30-day notice period to agree to provide the Company
with substantially the same financing as that set forth in the notice.

DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW; NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION.
Section 7.1 DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW. The Company shall from time to time as
the Investor may reasonably request make available for inspection and review by
the Investor, advisors to and representatives of the Investor (who may or may
not be affiliated with the Investor and who are reasonably acceptable to the
Company), any underwriter participating in any disposition of the Registrable
Securities on behalf of the Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement, any
such registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto or any blue sky,
NASD or other filing, all financial and other records, all SEC Documents and
other filings with the SEC, and all other corporate documents and properties of
the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and
cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all such
information reasonably requested by the Investor or any such representative,
advisor or underwriter in connection with such Registration Statement
(including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries
reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time
after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole
purpose of enabling the Investor and such representatives, advisors and
underwriters and their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial
and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of the
Registration Statement.
Section 7.2 NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION
(a) The Company shall not disclose non-public information to the Investor,
advisors to or representatives of the Investor unless prior to disclosure of
such information the Company identifies such information as being non-public
information and provides the Investor, such advisors and representatives with
the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such non-public information for
review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing any non-public information
hereunder, require the Investor's advisors and representatives to enter into a
confidentiality agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the
Investor.
(b) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose non-public
information to the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the Company
represents that it does not disseminate non-public information to any investors
who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to
securities analysts. The Company will immediately notify the Investor and, if
any, underwriters of any Registrable Securities, of any event or the existence
of any circumstance (without any obligation to disclose the specific event or
circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting non-public information
(whether or not requested of the Company specifically or generally during the
course of due diligence by such persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in
the prospectus included in the Registration Statement would cause such
prospectus to include a material misstatement or to omit a material fact
12
required to be stated therein in order to make the statements, therein, in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
ARTICLE VIII
LEGENDS
Section 8.1 LEGENDS. Unless otherwise provided below, each certificate

ARTICLE XII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 12. 1. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive it
termination.
Section 12.2. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall indemnify
and hold the Investor, the Placement Agent, and each of their respective,
directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (each an "Indemnified
Party" and collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against,
and agree promptly to defend any such Indemnified Party from and reimburse any
such Indemnified Party for, any and all means any losses, costs, expenses,
damages, taxes, penalties, fines, charges, demands, liabilities, obligations and
claims of any kind (including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys'
fees, expenses and disbursements) ("Losses") which any such Indemnified Party
may suffer or incur, or become subject to, arising out of or resulting from,
without duplication:
(a) any breach or inaccuracy as of the date of this Agreement of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement; and
(b) any failure by the Company to carry out, perform, satisfy and discharge
any of its respective covenants, agreements, undertakings, liabilities or
obligations under this Agreement.
Section 12.3. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. Any party asserting a right to
indemnification under Sections 12.2 shall so notify the Company in writing as
promptly as practicable. The Indemnified Party's failure to so notify the
Company of any such matter shall not release the Company, in whole or in part,
from its obligations to indemnify under this Article XII, except to the extent
the Indemnified Party's failure to so notify actually prejudices Company. If the
facts giving rise to such indemnification shall involve any actual or threatened
claim or demand by or against a third party, the Company shall be entitled to
control the defense or prosecution of such claim or demand in the name of the
Indemnified Party, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party, if (i) it notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to
do so within 20 days of its receipt of such notice, without prejudice, however,
to the right of the Indemnified Party to participate therein through counsel of
its own choosing, which participation shall be at the Indemnified Party's
expense unless (x) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel
15
that use of the same counsel to represent both the Company and the Indemnified
Party would present a conflict of interest (which shall be deemed to include any
case where there may be a legal defense or claim available to the Indemnified
Party which is different from or additional to those available to the Company)
or (y) the Company shall fail to defend or prosecute in good faith such claim or
demand within a reasonable time, in which case the reasonable fees of counsel
for the Indemnified Party shall be for the account of the Company and the
Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf
of the Indemnified Party, and (ii) it agrees to accept full responsibility,
indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party in accordance herewith in
respect of the claim or demand. Whether or not the Company chooses to defend or
prosecute such claim, the parties hereto shall cooperate in the prosecution or
defense of such claim and shall furnish such records, information and testimony
and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals
as may reasonably be requested in connection therewith. The Company shall not
settle or permit the settlement of any such third party claim or action in which
any relief other than the payment of money damages is sought against the
Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
The Indemnified Party shall not settle or permit the settlement of any claim or
action for which it is entitled to indemnification without the prior written
consent of the Company, unless the Company shall have failed to assume the
defense thereof after the notice referred to in the first sentence of this
Section 12.3, and in the manner provided above.
Section 12.3. SUBROGATION. In the event of any indemnification made
pursuant to a third party claim, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent
of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnified Party, who
shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary
to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to
enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
ARTICLE XIII

void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said
provision; provided that such severability shall be ineffective if it materially
changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party.

thereof, a new certificate of like tenor.

each of the parties shall pay its own fees and expenses (including those of any
attorneys, accountants and others engaged by it) in connection with the
negotiation and preparation of this Agreement.
Section 13.8 BROKERAGE. Each of the parties hereto represents that it has
had no dealings in connection with this transaction with any finder or broker
who will demand payment of any fee or commission from the other party. The
Company on the one hand, and the Investor, on the other hand, agree to indemnify
the other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to
any person claiming brokerage commissions or finder's fees on account of
services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the Company in connection
with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 13.9 CONFIDENTIALITY. If for any reason the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, each of the parties hereto

other parties all schedules, documents, instruments, work papers or other
written information, without retaining copies thereof, previously furnished by
it as a result of this Agreement or in connection herewith.
