"Stockholders Agreement") dated as of June 21, 1996 by and among the Company and
the stockholders of the Company (the "Stockholders"), Top Mega has no

corporate governance of the Company as set forth in the amended bylaws of the
Company, this Agreement and similar agreements with other Stockholders (the

("Gotesco") on terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and
conditions set forth herein.

F. The parties hereto desire to make certain other agreements relating to
the corporate governance of the Company.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good
and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
to this Agreement agree as follows:
1. Purchase of Advances.
1.1 Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Nextel agrees to purchase at the Closing and Jetcom agrees to sell to Nextel the
Advances having a principal amount of PP84,797,772.20 and U.S.$9,890,177.26, all
in accordance with the Deed of Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit A. The
purchase price (the "Purchase Price") of the portion of the Advances purchased
hereunder shall be the equivalent of U.S.$9,890,177.26, payable in Philippine
Pesos, plus PP84,797,772.20. Simultaneously with the Closing, the Company shall
pay Jetcom all interest accrued on the Advances.
1.2 Closing; Delivery. The closing of the transactions contemplated
hereby (the "Closing") shall take place on April 9, 1998, or on such other date
as Jetcom and Nextel mutually agree, following the satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 4, at the offices of the Company,
16/F, Centerpoint Building, Xxxxx Xxxxxx Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig, M.M.,
Republic of Philippines. At the Closing, Jetcom shall deliver to each of the
Company and Nextel the Deed of Assignment, which shall be duly acknowledged by
the Company and Nextel, against payment of the Purchase Price by Nextel on or
before Closing by check or by wire transfer to Jetcom's bank account.
1.3 Currency Adjustment. The parties hereto will use their reasonable
best efforts to arrange a back-to-back currency conversion to reduce or
eliminate to the extent possible any foreign exchange risks relating to the
conversion of Nextel's payment to Jetcom from U.S. Dollars to Pesos and the
conversion by Jetcom of such amount from Pesos to U.S. Dollars. If the parties
are unable to arrange such a back-to-back conversion, then within one day after
the receipt of the Peso payment by Jetcom from Nextel, Jetcom shall convert the
Purchase Price into U.S. Dollars at the most favorable rate reasonably
obtainable by Jetcom. If the U.S. Dollar amount so received by Jetcom is less
than U.S.$31,089,620.31 as the result of a decline in the U.S. Dollar - Peso
exchange rate of more than one Peso from the actual exchange rate received by
Nextel upon conversion of the Purchase Price to Pesos, Nextel shall make an
adjustment payment to Jetcom, payable in U.S. Dollars, equal to the difference
between U.S.$31,089,620.31 and the U.S. Dollar amount actually received by
Jetcom. If the U.S. Dollar amount so received by Jetcom is greater than
U.S.$31,089,620.31 as the result of an appreciation in the U.S. Dollar - Peso
exchange rate of more than one Peso from the actual exchange rate received by
Nextel upon conversion of the Purchase Price to Pesos, Jetcom shall make an
adjustment payment to Nextel, payable in U.S. Dollars, equal to the difference
between the U.S. Dollar amount actually received by Jetcom and
U.S.$31,089,620.31. This adjustment
-2-
3
mechanism shall not apply if Jetcom shall not have converted the Purchase Price
to U.S. Dollars one day after its receipt of payment from Nextel.
2. Amendment of Note. Simultaneously with the Purchase, the Company shall
issue the Note in favor of Nextel in the form attached as Exhibit B, to be
convertible, at the election of the holder thereof, into the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") determined as set forth in the
Note.

other convertible evidence of indebtedness of the Company or any Shares issued
upon conversion of such notes or other indebtedness without complying with the
provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, (b) a Stockholder may Transfer Shares
to any of its Affiliates so long as such Transfer would not cause the Company,
as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, to be in violation of
Philippine law, including, without limitation, the Anti-Dummy Law, (c) each such
party waives any and all rights that it may have under the Stockholders
Agreement, the Bylaws or Philippine law with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, including but not
limited to, the right
-7-
8
of first refusal with respect to the sale and transfer of the Stockholder Loans
which such party may have pursuant to Section 5 of the Stockholders Agreement or
otherwise, and (d) if any event occurs which results in the aggregate number of
Shares owned by a foreigner, as determined in accordance with Philippine law in
the reasonable discretion of the Company, being less than the maximum foreign
ownership permitted by Philippine law, as determined in the reasonable
discretion of the Company, then Jetcom shall be permitted to Transfer Shares to
a foreign Affiliate of Jetcom until such maximum foreign ownership threshold is
reached.
8. Further Restrictions on Transfer. The parties hereto agree that, as
between them, Section 5.6 of the Stockholders Agreement shall not be
enforceable.
9. Capital Contributions. Neither Nextel nor Jetcom shall be required to
make capital contributions or shareholders loans to the Company; provided that
if any Stockholder makes a capital contribution to the Company, the Company
shall issue to such Stockholder shares of Common Stock representing a percentage
ownership of the Company (excluding any convertible securities) equal to (a) the
amount of such capital contribution in U.S. Dollars as of the date of such
capital contribution divided by (b) the sum of 3,400,000,000 Pesos and the U.S.
Dollar amount of any capital contributions since the date hereof, including such
capital contribution, all converted into U.S. Dollars based on the average of
the buy and sell rates for the Peso against the U.S. Dollar as published by The
Chase Manhattan Bank N.A. as of the date of such capital contribution. If any
Stockholder makes any loans to the Company, such loans shall be made in
accordance with the Credit Agreement.
