        -------------------------------------------------------

Dear  Sirs/Madams:

     The  undersigned, being a holder of  0 shares of the common stock par value
                                         --
$0.001  per  share  (the  "Merlin Common Stock") of Merlin Software Technologies
International,  Inc.,  a  Nevada corporation ("Merlin"), understands that Merlin
proposes  to  enter  into  a  Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") with Narragansett I, L.P., Narragansett Offshore Ltd. , Pequot Scout
Fund,  L.P.  and  SDS  Merchant  Fund,  L.P.  (collectively,  the "Purchasers"),
pursuant  to which Merlin will sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of $2,100,000
principal  amount  of  Series  A Senior Secured Convertible Notes due August 18,
2003  (the  "Notes")  and  Series  A  10%  Common  Stock  Purchase Warrants (the
"Warrants")  to purchase an aggregate of 1,520,000 shares of Merlin Common Stock
(the  "Transaction").  The undersigned also  understands that the Purchasers are
willing  to proceed with this Transaction only if the undersigned, the executive
officers  and  directors  of  Merlin  and  certain 5% or greater shareholders of
Merlin  Common  Stock  agree  to  enter  into  this Lock-up and Tag Along Rights
Agreement  and  certain  other  documents  as may be reasonably requested by the
Purchasers.  Capitalized  terms  used,  but  not  defined, herein shall have the
respective  meanings  ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement and the Related
Documents.

     I  hereby  warrant  and  represent  as  follows:

(i)     I  am  familiar  with  the  terms of the Transaction, and I have had the
opportunity to discuss in detail the terms of the Transaction with the directors
and  officers  of  Merlin;

(ii)     I  am  the  sole  beneficial owner of the shares of Merlin Common Stock
registered in my name, and no other person has any lien or other interest of any
nature  in  such  shares;  without  limiting  the  foregoing, I do not hold such
shares  in  any  representative  or  fiduciary  capacity;  and

(iii)     I have the full authority and capacity to enter into and carry out all
the  terms  of this Lock-up and Tag Along Rights Agreement, and I am not subject
to  or  bound  by  any  agreement

<PAGE>

or  instrument,  or the order of any court or other governmental authority which
in  any  way  restricts my authority or capacity to enter into and carry out all
the  terms  of  this  Lock-up  and  Tag  Along  Rights  Agreement.

     In  consideration  of  the  consummation  of the Transaction, I irrevocably
agree  that  I  will  not,  directly  or  indirectly,

(1)     offer  for  sale,  sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise create
any  interest  in or dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is
designed to, or could reasonably be expected to, result in any of the foregoing)
any  shares  of  Merlin  Common Stock  (including, without limitation, shares of
Merlin Common Stock that I "beneficially own" as defined in Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the rules and regulations
of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  thereunder, and shares of Merlin
Common  Stock  that  may be issued upon exercise of any option (excluding common
stock  issued upon the exercise of stock incentive options currently held by the
undersigned,  if the exercise price thereof is paid in cash) or warrant, or upon
the  occurrence  of  any  future  contingency) or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Merlin Common Stock which may be issued or transferred to me or
for  my benefit under the terms of the Transaction during the Lock-up Period (as
defined  below),  or

(2)     enter  into  any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to
another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership
of  such  shares  of  Merlin  Common Stock, including, but not limited to, short
sales,  puts,  calls  or  other  hedging transactions, including private hedging
transactions,

whether  any  such  transaction  described  in  clause (1) or (2) above is to be
settled  by  delivery  of  Merlin  Common  Stock or other securities, in cash or
otherwise,  during  the  Lock-up  Period.

     As  used  herein,  the  "Lock-up Period"  with respect to the Merlin Common
Stock  shall  mean the period commencing on the date of the closing of the First
Tranche  of  the  Transaction  ("the First Tranche Closing Date") and ending two
years  after  the  First  Tranche Closing Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary  contained  herein,  I  understand  that I will be allowed to resell my
shares  of  Merlin Common Stock during the Lock-up Period in accordance with the
following  restrictions:

     1.     For  so  long as the market price of the Common Stock is above $5.00
per  share,  I  will  be  able to resell my shares of Common Stock to the extent
permitted  by  Rule 144 ("Rule 144"), of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     2.     For  so  long as the market price of the Common Stock is above $2.50
per  share  and  below  $5.00  per  share  and  the  principal  amount  of Notes
outstanding  is  greater  than  $250,000,  I will be able to resell up to 50,000
shares of Common Stock to the extent permitted by Rule 144, and if the principal
amount  of Notes outstanding is less than $250,000, I will be able to resell all
of  my  shares  of  Common  Stock  permitted  by  Rule  144.

<PAGE>

     3.     For  so  long as the market price of the Common Stock is below $2.50
per share and the principal amount of Notes outstanding is less than $250,000, I
will  be able to resell all of my shares of Common Stock to the extent permitted
by  Rule  144.

     I  understand  that  the  Purchasers  will  proceed with the Transaction in
reliance  on this Lock-Up and Tag Along Rights Agreement, and that any shares of
Merlin  Common  Stock  currently  held  by  me will contain a restrictive legend
stating  that  the  transfer  of  such  shares  is  restricted.

     TAG ALONG RIGHT.  If the undersigned (the "Electing Shareholder") elects to
sell  any  Merlin  Common  Stock  to  a third party other than an at market sale
through a broker assisted transaction on a stock exchange or an over-the-counter
market,  the  Purchasers  shall  thereafter  be  deemed to have been offered the
opportunity  to  sell  their  shares  of  Merlin  Common  Stock  to the proposed
purchaser  on  the  same  terms  as  the  Electing  Shareholder.  The  Electing
Shareholder  shall  be  estopped from transferring its Merlin Common Stock until
all  tag-along rights of their shares of Merlin Common Stock granted herein have
expired  or  have  been  released and relieved by the Purchasers.  The tag-along
rights  granted  herein shall expire upon the earlier of (i) the Maturity of the
Notes,  (ii) the Conversion of all of the outstanding Notes by the Purchasers or
(iii)  the  Company's  exercise of its Mandatory Conversion Right for all of the
outstanding  Notes.  On  or  before  the date which is sixty (60) days after the
Purchasers  receive  actual  written notice from the Electing Shareholder of the
terms  of  the proposed transaction (the "Notice"), the Purchasers may, at their
sole  option,  send a notice (the "Election Notice") to the Electing Shareholder
electing  to  sell  all  or  some  of  their  shares  of  Merlin Common Stock in
accordance  with  the  terms  specified  in the Notice. The Electing Shareholder
shall  not  sell  any  shares of Merlin Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph,
unless  the  proposed  purchaser also acquires all shares of Merlin Common Stock
which  the  Purchasers  have  elected  to sell pursuant to an Election Notice on
terms  and  conditions  at  least  as  favorable as those set out in the Notice.

     Notwithstanding  the  foregoing, I may transfer any shares of Merlin Common
Stock  or  any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or
deriving from shares of Merlin Common Stock during my lifetime or, upon my death
by  will  or  intestacy,  to  my immediate family or trusts or other entities of
which  my  immediate  family are the only beneficiaries; provided, however, that
(i) prior to any transfer each transferee shall execute a copy of this agreement
and  become bound thereby, and (ii) no such transfer, singly or in the aggregate
with  other  transfers,  shall  require  the  registration  of  the  shares  so
transferred.  For  the purposes of this paragraph, "immediate family" shall mean
my  spouse,  lineal  descendants,  parents  and  siblings.

<PAGE>

     I  agree  that I will execute any additional documents reasonably necessary
or  related  to  the enforcement of this Lock-up and Tag Along Rights Agreement.
My  obligations  under  this  Lock-up  and  Tag  Along Rights Agreement shall be
binding  upon  my  heirs,  personal  representatives,  successors  and  assigns.
