Business Day- period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (e) the date on
which such three Trading Day-period is exceeded, being referred to as "EVENT
DATE"), then, on each such Event Date and every monthly anniversary thereof
until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an
amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2.0% of
the purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If
the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in
full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest
thereon at a rate of 15% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is
permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from
the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such
interest thereon, are paid in full. The liquidated damages pursuant to the
terms hereof shall apply on a pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior
to the cure of an Event.

Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or

                  (c) File additional Registration Statements if the number

Common Stock then registered in all their existing Registration Statements
hereunder.

and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later
than one Business Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration

Company whether there will be a "review" of such Registration Statement and
whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement

                                       -5-
<PAGE>

the financial statements included in the Registration Statement ineligible
for inclusion therein or any statement made in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein
by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to
the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the
case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.

                  (e) Promptly deliver to each Holder and their Special
Counsel, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses

supplement thereto.

                  (f) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities,

Holders and their Special Counsel in connection with the registration or
qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such
Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in
writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption
therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all
other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement; PROVIDED, that the Company shall not be required to qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
qualified or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject.

                  (g) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities
to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which
certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase
Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable
Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any
such Holders may request.

                  (h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
Section 3(d)(vi), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or
amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration
Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any
other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the
Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

                  (i) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the

severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the

such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review) arising
solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of
prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out
of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated

contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the
Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such
Prospectus or to the extent that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are
based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to
the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that

supplement thereto, (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type
specified in Section 3(d)(ii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated or
defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing

Holder or such Holder's agent to comply with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Holder under the Securities Act applicable to sales of
Registrable Securities by such Holder under a Registration Statement, or (4)
the failure of such Holder or such Holder's agent to resell Registrable
Securities in a manner permitted by the Plan of Distribution. In no event
shall the lia bility of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount
than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the
sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.

                  (c) CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. If any
Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to
indemnity hereunder (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), such Indemnified Party shall
promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "INDEMNIFYING
PARTY") in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense
thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in
connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its

                                       -8-
<PAGE>

obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to
the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review)
that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced
the Indemnifying Party.

                  An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has
agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying
Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and
to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any
such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including
any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by
counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel
were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which
case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing
that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense
thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).
The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such
Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending
Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

                  All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including
reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with
investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not
inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as
incurred, within ten Business Days of written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an
Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; PROVIDED,
that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake
to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally
judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder).

                  (d) CONTRIBUTION. If a claim for indemnification under
Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of
public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions,
statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying
Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied
by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a
party as

                                       -9-

a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limita
tions set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other
reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any
Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees
or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available
to such party in accordance with its terms.

                  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by
PRO RATA allocation or by any other method of allo cation that does not take
into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no
Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in
excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder
from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds
the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay
by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.

                  The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may
have to the Indemnified Parties.

modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the
provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Company and Deephaven Private Placement Trading Ltd.
Notwithstanding the fore going, a waiver or consent to depart from the
provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the
rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights
of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the
Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified,
or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence.

                  (b) NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. Neither the Company nor any
of its subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter
into any agreement with respect to its securities that would have the effect
of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as and to the extent specified
in SCHEDULE 6(b) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has
previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with
respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied
in full.

                  (c) NO PIGGYBACK ON REGISTRATIONS. Except as and to the
extent specified in SCHEDULE 6(b) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its

than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date
hereof enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its
security holders.

from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in
Sections 3(d)(ii), 3(d)(iii), 3(d)(iv), 3(d)(v) or 3(d)(vi), such Holder will
forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the
Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by
Section 3(h), or until it is advised in writing (the "ADVICE") by the Company
that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either
case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or
Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to
enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

                  (f) PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. If at any time during the

Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each
as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating
to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition
of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with
stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to
each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days
after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing,
the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of
such Registrable Securities such holder requests to be registered.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their
shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at
fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more
of the following methods when selling shares:

o        ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
         broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

o        block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
         as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
         principal to facilitate the transaction;

o        purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
         broker-dealer for its account;

o        an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
         exchange;

o        privately negotiated transactions;

o        short sales

o        broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a
         specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

o        a combination of any such methods of sale; and

o        any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

         The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under
the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

          The Selling Stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers
under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a Selling Stockholder
defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell
the pledged shares. The Selling Stockholders have advised the Company that
they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements
with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares
other than ordinary course brokerage arrangements, nor is there an
underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed
sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders.

         Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for
other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the Selling

                                     -16-
<PAGE>

Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of
shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling
Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is
customary in the types of transactions involved.

         The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event,
any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on
the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

         The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to
the Selling Stockholders. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling
Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.

                   Re: FILING DATE FOR REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  Reference is made to the Registration Rights Agreement (the
"REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), dated January 8, 2001, between NetSol
International, Inc. (the "COMPANY") and Deephaven Private Placement Trading
Ltd. (the "PURCHASER"). The parties agree that the definition of "Filing
Date" in Section 1 of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety and replaced with the following:

                  "Filing Date" means (A) the 5th day following the Second
                  Settlement Date (as defined in Section 1.1(iv) of the Purchase
                  Agreement) and (B) with respect to any additional Registration
                  Statements which may be required pursuant to Section 3(c), the
                  30th day following the date that notice of the requirement to
                  file such additional registration Statement is provided."

                  Except as otherwise specified in this amendment, the terms
and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement remain without
modification. Please indicate your agreement with the foregoing by executing
this letter and returning the same to our attention.

                  The Parties further agree that the 5th day following the
Second Settlement Date shall be March 14, 2001.
