---------

such Stockholder enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its
terms, subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws
now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors rights generally
and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a

Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder (or any of its assets) is
bound.

Stockholder's execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
3. Restriction on Transfer; Other Restrictions.
-------------------------------------------
(a) Each Stockholder agrees not to Transfer or agree to Transfer any
Shares or Rights owned of record or beneficially by such Stockholder, except as
otherwise permitted by this Section 3 or pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
Transfers to any Affiliate of the Stockholder who agrees in writing to be bound

this Agreement, other than, in each case, with DT's prior written consent.
(b) From the date hereof until the later of January 1, 2001 and the
date of the VoiceStream Stockholders' Meeting, each Stockholder agrees not to
Transfer any Shares or Rights owned of record or beneficially by such
Stockholder, provided, however, that this Section 3(b) shall cease to be of any

specified in this Section 3(c) shall on August 1, 2001 be increased by 3.75%
and, if the Effective Time shall not have occurred by August 31, 2001, the
percentage specified in this Section 3(c) shall on September 1, 2001 be
increased by an additional 3.75%, for an aggregate amount from and after

(d) From the Effective Time through and including the three month
anniversary of the Effective Time, each Stockholder agrees not to Transfer any
DT Securities or DT Derivative Securities.
(e) From the day following the three month anniversary of the
Effective Time, through and including the six month anniversary of the Effective
Time, each Stockholder may Transfer only up to 40% of such Stockholder's Total
Number of Shares, inclusive of any Transfer of any DT Derivative Securities.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the portions of a Stockholder's Total
Number of Shares permitted to be Transferred pursuant to Section 3(c) and
Section 3(e) are (i) separate and not cumulative such that if a Stockholder does
not fully utilize the permission to Transfer up to 17.5% of such Stockholder's
Total Number of Shares pursuant to Section 3(c), such Stockholder shall not be
permitted to Transfer more than 40% of such Stockholder's Total Number of Shares
pursuant to Section 3(e) and (ii) exclusive of any Transfers permitted by this
Agreement which occur at any time after the date hereof and prior to the end of
the periods specified in such Sections.
(g) For purposes of Section 3(c), a Stockholder's "Total Number of
Shares" is equal to the sum (such sum, the "Initial Number of Shares") of (i)
------------------------
the number of shares of Voicestream Common Stock owned of record or beneficially
by the Stockholder as of the later of January 1, 2001 and the date of the
Voicestream Stockholders' Meeting, including any shares of Voicestream Common
Stock obtainable by the Stockholder upon conversion of any shares of Voicestream
Preferred Stock owned by the Stockholder and (ii) the number of shares of
Voicestream Common Stock owned of record or beneficially by the Stockholder as a

convertible securities (other than Voicestream Preferred Stock) to acquire
shares of Voicestream Common Stock, during the period from the later of January
1, 2001 and the date of the Voicestream Stockholders' Meeting, until the earlier
of the Effective Time and the termination of the Merger Agreement. For purposes
of Section 3(e), Stockholder's Total Number of Shares is equal to the sum of (i)
the number of DT Securities which the Stockholder would have been entitled to
receive as Merger Consideration in the Merger in respect of the Initial Number
of Shares (determined as if all of the Stockholders who have entered into
Stockholder Agreements with DT in connection with the Merger had made a Mixed
Election) and (ii) the number of DT Securities owned of record or beneficially
by the Stockholder as a result of the exercise or conversion, as applicable, of
any options, warrants or convertible securities to acquire DT Securities (other
than any such options, warrants or convertible securities included in the
calculation of the Initial Number of Shares), during the relevant periods
specified in such subsection (e).
(h) The foregoing limitations set forth in Sections 3(c) and (e)
shall not apply to any Transfers pursuant to a tender offer, self tender offer,
exchange offer or other transaction offered generally to holders of DT
Securities and approved or not opposed by DT's Supervisory Board, and securities
subject to a Transfer made pursuant to this Section 3(h) and Section 3(l) shall
be deemed continued to be owned by the Stockholder for purposes of the
calculations made under Sections 3(c) and (e).
(i) [Reserved]
4
<PAGE>
(j) Each Stockholder agrees, prior to the Effective Time, not to
effect, directly or indirectly, or through any arrangement with a third party
pursuant to which such third party may effect, directly or indirectly, any short
sales of any VoiceStream Common Stock, DT Securities or DT Derivative Securities
except in accordance with the limitations of Section 3(c).
(k) Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably waives any rights of
appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that such Stockholder may have.
(l) If DT's existing majority shareholders elect to effect a
secondary offering of their DT Securities during the period from the Effective
Time through the first anniversary of the Effective Time pursuant to a
registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act, DT shall use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain the agreement of such existing majority
shareholders to include in such offering the maximum amount of DT Securities
acquired pursuant to the Merger by the Stockholder and all other stockholders
who have entered into Stockholder Agreements with DT in connection with the
Merger (the Stockholder and such other stockholders, collectively, the
"Stockholders") which such existing shareholders determine may be included in
------------
such secondary offering without adversely affecting such secondary offering of
the securities being sold by such existing majority shareholders, on such terms
and conditions as such existing majority shareholders deem appropriate.
(m) DT has not entered into and from and after the date hereof will
not enter into, an agreement of the kind described in Section 3(l) above
pursuant to which DT or its current majority shareholders would be requested to
grant registration rights to any third parties in connection with a secondary
offering of DT Securities by such existing majority shareholders, unless such
third parties will not have the right to have any shares included in such
registered offering unless all of the shares requested to be included in such
registered offering by any Stockholders are so included.
(n) If DT acquires any company after the date hereof for
consideration valued at more than $15 billion and, at the time the agreement in
respect of such acquisition by DT is entered into, (i) such company has a single
stockholder who owns 10% or more or a group of stockholders owning in the
aggregate 20% or more of the outstanding voting securities of such company and
(ii) in each case such stockholders are (or at any time within the prior two
years were) directors of or have the right to designate one or more directors to
the Board of Directors of such company or are officers of such company or such
company has any 5% or greater stockholders (other than institutional investors)
as to whom DT could reasonably enter into an agreement in support of such
acquisition and DT obtains or could reasonably be expected to obtain the
agreement of any such stockholder or group of stockholders of such company, as
the case may be, to vote for and support the acquisition or to limit its powers
of disposition in connection with the acquisition, the transfer restrictions
specified in Sections 3(a) through (e) shall be revised to reflect the more
favorable treatment of the stockholders of such company or the absence of
restrictions, as the case may be, including the grant or sufferance to exist of
registration rights.
4. Agreement to Vote. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and
-----------------
unconditionally agrees to vote or to cause to be voted or provide a consent with
respect to, all Shares that he or it owns of record or beneficially as of the

in favor of the Merger and the Merger Agreement and (ii) if the opportunity to
do so is presented to such Stockholder on the proxy card, against any
Alternative Transaction and (c) not to revoke any such proxy.
6. No Solicitation. From and after the date hereof, the Stockholders
---------------
shall not, nor shall they permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, nor
shall they authorize or instruct any of their respective officers, directors,
members or employees to, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause
any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountants or other
representatives retained by them or any of their respective Subsidiaries not to,
directly or indirectly through another person, on their behalf, (i) solicit,
initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or
knowingly take any other action designed to facilitate, any Alternative
Transaction, or (ii) participate in any substantive discussions or negotiations
regarding any Alternative Transaction, provided that nothing herein shall affect
the ability of any Stockholder in its capacity as an officer, director, employee
