Communications, Inc. ("NFC"), DCI MERGER INC., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of NFC ("Merger Sub") and PITTENCRIEFF COMMUNICATIONS,
INC., a Delaware corporation ("PCI").
PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
Nextel, through NFC and Merger Sub, and PCI intend to enter into a tax-free
plan of reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").
The plan of reorganization will consist of the merger of Merger Sub with
and into PCI, with PCI being the surviving corporation. This merger ("Merger")
will be consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and will
be consummated at the "Effective Time of the Merger" as defined herein.
Nextel has caused NFC to form Merger Sub solely for the purpose of
consummating the Merger.
Nextel, NFC, Merger Sub and PCI entered into an Agreement of Merger and
Plan of Reorganization dated as of October 2, 1996 (the "First Agreement").
Simultaneously with the execution of the First Agreement, PCI has delivered
to Nextel (i) an executed letter agreement from Castle Tower Corporation, (ii) a
waiver of preemptive rights from Advanced MobileComm, Inc. ("AMI") pursuant to
that certain
2
Contribution Agreement, dated as of September 5, 1995, as subsequently
amended, among PCI, Pittencrieff Communications, Inc., a Texas corporation,
AMI and each of the other sellers named therein, which waiver shall be
effective at the Effective Time of the Merger, and (iii) a confirmation from
AMI that the Voting Agreement and Proxy dated January 16, 1996 shall
terminate in accordance with its terms pursuant to Section 4(ii) thereof
effective at the Effective Time of the Merger.
Simultaneously with the execution of the First Agreement, FMR Corp., a
Massachusetts corporation ("FMR"), has agreed that, among other things, at the
Effective Time of the Merger, FMR will exchange its warrants to purchase capital
stock of PCI for a warrant to purchase Class A (Voting) Common Stock of Nextel,
par value $.001 per share ("Nextel Common Stock"), in the form of Annex D.
The parties to the First Agreement desire to amend certain provisions
and restate the First Agreement and, accordingly, the parties have entered
into this Agreement. All schedules to this Agreement set forth information as
of October 2, 1996.
AGREEMENT
In order to consummate the plan of reorganization, and in consideration of
the mutual agreements hereinafter contained, Nextel, NFC, Merger Sub and PCI
agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. CONVERSION OF PCI STOCK INTO NEXTEL COMMON STOCK; TREATMENT
OF OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
1.1 EXCHANGE RATIO AND CONVERSION OF SHARES. At the Effective Time of the
Merger (as defined herein), all the outstanding shares of common stock of PCI,
par value $.01 per share ("PCI Common Stock") shall be converted into shares of
Nextel Common Stock using an exchange ratio of 3.17:1.0, so that
3
three and seventeen one hundredths shares of PCI Common Stock are converted
into one share of Nextel Common Stock (the "Basic Exchange Ratio"), subject
to the adjustments described in this Article I. As of July 1, 1996, (i) the
total number of shares of PCI Common Stock outstanding ("July 1 Shares"),
plus (ii) the total number of shares of PCI Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of warrants or options, or upon exchange or conversion of
convertible instruments (regardless of whether they were on July 1 or are at
the Effective Time of the Merger "in the money") as set forth on Schedule
2.5(a) ("July 1 Derivatives"), and excluding (y) all treasury shares, and (z)
all other shares, rights to acquire shares or other issuance commitments for
shares of PCI Common Stock that are not July 1 Shares or July 1 Derivatives,
was 27,840,219 (the "PCI Share Base"). The maximum value of Nextel Common
Stock to be issued hereunder at the Effective Time of the Merger with respect
to (a) the PCI Share Base (without adjustment for any instrument that may
have expired without exercise, exchange or conversion into PCI Common Stock),
and (b) any PCI Common Stock, or options, warrants, convertible or
exchangeable instruments or other commitments to issue PCI Common Stock
outstanding at the Effective Time of the Merger that are not July 1 Shares or
July 1 Derivatives (such additional PCI Common Stock or issuance commitments,
the "Dilutive PCI Common Equivalents"; and together with the PCI Share Base
(without adjustment for any instrument that may have expired without
exercise, exchange or conversion into PCI Common Stock), the "Actual PCI
Common Equivalents") shall be $170,000,000 (the
4
"Basic Value Cap"). The maximum number of shares of Nextel Common Stock to
be issued hereunder at the Effective Time of the Merger shall be 8,782,403,
subject to adjustment only in the event Nextel elects to deliver additional
shares to avert a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.10, or
for changes to the capitalization of Nextel pursuant to Section 1.12.
1.2 VALUE CAP ADJUSTED FOR CHANNELS NOT DELIVERED. (a) If at the time of
the Closing (as defined herein) the number of Channels Delivered by PCI is (i)
less than 95% of the number of Channels set forth on Schedule 1.2 in any
xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxx ("XXX") identified on Schedule 1.2 (each such MSA,
a "Shortfall Market"), or (ii) fewer than 3,000 Channels with regard to the
market areas not listed on Schedule 1.2 (each such Channel, a "Non-core Market
Channel"), then (A) for each Shortfall Market the Channel value set forth on
Schedule 1.2 for that Shortfall Market shall be multiplied by the difference
between the number of Channels set forth on Schedule 1.2 for that Shortfall
Market minus the number of Channels Delivered in that Shortfall Market and (B)
except as provided in Section 1.2(b)(iii), for the Non-core Market Channels, the
shortfall, if any, between 3,000 and the number of Non-core Market Channels
Delivered shall be multiplied by $3,000 (the product of each calculation, a
"Market Adjustment"). The sum of all such Market Adjustments shall be
subtracted from the Basic Value Cap.
(b) If the FCC (as defined herein) responds to PCI's filings for
rejustification of its extended implementation
5
authority by granting PCI less than twenty four (24) months from the date of
such FCC response to construct any Channel that had extended implementation
authority (an "Unfavorable FCC Response") then (i) each extended
implementation channel identified on Schedule 2.27 ("Extended Implementation
Channel") that received an Unfavorable FCC Response and is located within 25
miles of an MSA will be deemed constructed as required by clause 1.2(d)(iii)
for purposes of determining whether such Extended Implementation Channels are
Delivered, and if all other criteria set forth in Section 1.2(d) for that
Channel to be Delivered have been met, such Extended Implementation Channel
(the "Qualifying Extended Implementation Channel") will be counted toward the
Channel targets set forth on Schedule 1.2(a), provided, however, that the
total number of Qualifying Extended Implementation Channels in any MSA shall
not exceed the number of Extended Implementation Channels for such MSA
identified on Schedule 1.2, (ii) an amount equal to the lesser of (A)
$3,000,000, or (B) the product of $3,658 multiplied by the number of Extended
Implementation Channels receiving an Unfavorable FCC Response, will be
subtracted from the Basic Value Cap, and (iii) the target for Non-core Market
Channels shall be reduced from 3,000 to 1,800 and the shortfall, if any,
between 1,800 and the number of Non-core Market Channels Delivered shall be
multiplied by $5,000 to determine the Market Adjustment, if any, for the
Non-core Market Channels.
(c) If the FCC responds to PCI's filings for rejustification of its
extended implementation authority by
6
granting PCI twenty-four (24) months or more from the date of such response
to construct any Extended Implementation Channel, that Extended
Implementation Channel will be deemed constructed as required by clause
1.2(d)(iii) for purposes of determining whether such Extended Implementation
Channel is Delivered regardless of when the date of the Closing occurs, so
long as any postponements of the date of the Closing are not caused by the
action or inaction of PCI.
(d) A "Channel" shall be "Delivered" by PCI if at the Effective Time
of the Merger: (i) the FCC license for such channel has been granted to PCI or a
PCI Subsidiary by a Final Order (as defined herein); (ii) there is a Final Order
approving a transfer of control of that license to Nextel; (iii) if
unconstructed or deconstructed, there are at least 180 days remaining before the
construction or reconstruction deadline applicable to that channel; (iv) in the
case of a channel counted towards or applicable to an MSA market target, such
channel is located within 25 miles of the core of the applicable MSA, except as
otherwise provided on Schedule 1.2; (v) in the case of a channel counted towards
or applicable to an MSA market target, there is no co-channel license located
within 55 miles of the channel, except for co-channel licenses that are PCI, PCI
Subsidiaries, or licenses controlled by Nextel, except as otherwise provided on
Schedule 1.2; (vi) the channel is either (x) a land mobile 800 MHz frequency,
being one of the 430 frequencies allocated for specialized mobile radio ("SMR"),
or (y) a frequency in an MSA identified on Schedule 1.2 and
7
allocated for public safety, industrial land transportation or business where
the radio service classification has been converted to commercial service
classification (I.E., YX or GX radio service type) or (z) a frequency in a
Non-core Market allocated for public safety, industrial land transportation
or business; (vii) the channel is granted pursuant to a primary license;
(viii) in the case of a channel counted towards or applicable to an MSA
market target, such channel is a discrete frequency within the applicable
market and not subject to any cross border frequency sharing or channel
coordination or similar arrangement, taking into account all frequencies
deemed Delivered pursuant to this Agreement in that market; (ix) the license
for or including the channel is not subject to (A) any agreement to be sold
to a third party, or (B) any option or right of first refusal in favor of any
third party; (x) there is no contract right of any third party or FCC order
otherwise encumbering or limiting the use of the license; (xi) no
consideration is due to any person in connection with the channel; and (xii)
the channel is not subject to any finders' preference action (other than the
pending appeal of a favorable FCC ruling) or otherwise included within any
proceeding commenced or assessed by a third party (other than Nextel) or any
regulatory agency, including, without limitation, the FCC, that could result
in a take-back, termination, cancellation or nonrenewal of the relevant
licenses.
1.3 VALUE CAP ADJUSTED FOR NEGATIVE CASH FLOW. If Adjusted EBITDA
Earnings for the period from April 1, 1996 to the last day of the calendar
quarter most recently ended before the Effective
8
Time of the Merger is negative, that amount shall be annualized (i.e.
adjusted) to equal the loss that PCI would have experienced in a 12-month
period at that rate of loss, and that annualized amount shall be subtracted
from the Basic Value Cap. In the event the Effective Time of the Merger is
more than one year from the date of the First Agreement, so long as any
postponements of the date of the Closing are not caused by the action or
inaction of PCI, there shall be no value cap adjustment pursuant to this
Section 1.3. "Adjusted EBITDA Earnings" means PCI's earnings from continuing
operations as shown on the unaudited consolidated financial statements that
are prepared by PCI in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice, (a) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization,
other income and expense, all determined in accordance with past practices, to
the extent consistent with GAAP (as herein defined), and (b) without reduction
for reasonable accounting, legal, printing and financial advisory fees, special
employee incentive bonuses (as agreed to by Nextel from time to time) and
expenses associated with the Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby (the "Transaction Costs") so long as the Transaction Costs in the
aggregate for the period through and including the Closing (regardless
whether GAAP would reflect them in that period) do not exceed $1,500,000, all
determined in accordance with past practices, to the extent consistent with
GAAP.
1.4 VALUE CAP ADJUSTED FOR NEGATIVE WORKING CAPITAL. (a) Based on the
unaudited consolidated balance sheet of PCI as of the month-end preceding the
Effective Time of the Merger
9
prepared by PCI in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past
practices, if the working capital (herein defined) of PCI is negative, the
negative amount of such working capital shall be subtracted from the Basic
Value Cap. The terms used in this Section shall have the meaning given to
those terms in current use in the accounting profession in the United States
under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). For the purposes of
this Section, with the exceptions herein listed, working capital shall mean
the result obtained by subtracting current liabilities from current assets.
(b) For purposes of calculating working capital pursuant to this
Section, (i) the long term portion of the long term debt of PCI shall be
included in the current liabilities; (ii) all accounts and/or notes receivable
from the five executive officers of PCI shall be excluded from the current
assets; (iii) discounts on notes payable shall be excluded from the current
liabilities (thus increasing current liabilities); (iv) both (A) the Transaction
Costs that were paid on or before the period reflected on the balance sheet, and
(B) the Transaction Costs that have not been paid on or before the period
reflected on the balance sheet (regardless whether GAAP would reflect them as
current liabilities as of that date) shall, up to an aggregate maximum for all
amounts under this clause (iv) of $1,500,000, be excluded from the current
liabilities; (v) all severance costs that have been incurred or are estimated to
be incurred as a result of the Merger and change of control effected thereby
shall be included in the current liabilities of PCI under the
10
provisions of this Section (regardless whether GAAP would reflect them as
current liabilities as of that date); (vi) any cash advanced by Nextel
pursuant to Section 6.6 and any expenditures of those funds shall be excluded
from either current assets or current liabilities, as applicable; and (vii)
any cash that was received upon the exercise of any July 1 Derivatives (as
those instruments were in effect on July 1, 1996) prior to the Effective Time
of the Merger will be excluded from current assets.
1.5 VALUE CAP ADJUSTED FOR OPTION/WARRANT EXERCISE. If at the Effective
Time of the Merger, PCI (on a consolidated basis) does not have cash in an
amount equal to the aggregate exercise price or other consideration due upon
exercise, exchange or conversion under the terms of the July 1 Derivatives (as
those instruments were in effect on July 1, 1996) exercised prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger, or has issued any shares of PCI Common Stock in
respect of any July 1 Derivatives in any cashless exercise transaction, the
Basic Value Cap shall be reduced by the difference between the amount of cash
that should have been received upon such exercise and the actual amount of cash
received upon such exercise and held at the Effective Time of the Merger.
1.6 VALUE CAP ADJUSTED FOR SEVERANCE AMOUNTS. If the aggregate amount
paid or to be paid or other value given to the five executives identified in
Section 5.6(b) as described therein whether pursuant to existing commitments or
otherwise, excluding (i) bonuses earned in 1996 or debt forgiven in 1996 up to
an
11
aggregate of $222,871, and (ii) bonuses earned in 1997 up to 35% of the
salary of each such executive as in effect on the date of the First Agreement,
prorated through the date of the Closing, exceeds $1,260,000, then the amount of
such excess shall be subtracted from the Basic Value Cap.
1.6A SETTLEMENT WITH CASTLE TOWER. Prior to Closing, PCI shall enter
into a settlement and release agreement with Castle (as defined below) pursuant
to which Castle shall settle and release all claims arising under the Castle
Purchase Agreement (as defined below).
1.7 VALUE CAP ADJUSTED IF CLOSING OCCURS AFTER 1997. For purposes of the
exchange ratio adjustments, if any, to be made pursuant to Sections 1.8 and 1.9,
if the date of the Closing occurs after December 31, 1997, then, so long as any
postponements of the date of the Closing are not caused by the action or
inaction of PCI, any adjustments made to the Basic Value Cap pursuant to
Sections 1.2, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 shall be reduced to equal one half of the
adjustments otherwise calculated pursuant to those Sections.
1.8 ASSET VALUE AND DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS TO EXCHANGE RATIO. If there are
any reductions to the Basic Value Cap under Section 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 or
1.7 or if there are any Dilutive PCI Common Equivalents at the Effective Time of
the Merger then, in lieu of the Basic Exchange Ratio set forth in Section 1.1,
the exchange ratio shall equal:
12
(i) 3.17; multiplied by
(ii) the quotient of (A) the Basic Value Cap of $170,000,000,
divided by (B) the Basic Value Cap minus the sum of any
reductions pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6,
or, if Section 1.7 is applicable, one-half of such sum (the
"Adjusted Value Cap"); multiplied by
(iii) the quotient of (Y) the Actual PCI Common Equivalents,
divided by (Z) the PCI Share Base.
1.9 VALUE CAP ADJUSTMENT. If, at the Effective Time of the Merger:
(a) (i) the PCI Share Base, or, if higher, (ii) the Actual PCI Common
Equivalents; divided by
(b) (i) the Basic Exchange Ratio of 3.17 or, if Section 1.8 applies,
(ii) the exchange ratio calculated under Section 1.8; multiplied
by
(c) the Nextel Closing Price,
is greater than the lower of (y) the Basic Value Cap, or (z) the Adjusted Value
Cap, then the exchange ratio shall be further adjusted to equal:
(A) (i) the PCI Share Base, or, if higher, (ii) the Actual PCI Common
Equivalents; multiplied by
(B) the Nextel Closing Price; divided by
(C) (i) the Basic Value Cap, or, if lower, (ii) the Adjusted Value
Cap.
13
1.10 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION IN LIEU OF TERMINATION. (a) If the Board of
Directors of PCI has elected (as contemplated by Section 9.1(d)(iv)) to
terminate this Agreement because the Nextel Closing Price on the day before the
scheduled date of the Closing is less than $14.00, Nextel may elect to deliver
shares of Nextel Common Stock with an aggregate value, based on the Nextel
Closing Price on the day of the Closing equal to the product of (i) $14,
multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Nextel Common Stock that would
be issued or issuable with respect to Actual PCI Common Equivalents as otherwise
determined under this Article I (the "Value Floor").
(b) If Nextel makes the election contemplated by Section 1.10(a),
then: (i) the termination election made by the PCI Board of Directors under
Section 9.1(d)(iv) shall be automatically rescinded and cancelled; (ii) the
Merger shall proceed pursuant to this Agreement; and (iii) in lieu of the
exchange ratio set forth in Section 1.1 or calculated and adjusted under Section
1.8 or 1.9, the Actual PCI Common Equivalents shall be converted into shares of
Nextel Common Stock in the ratio that (i) Actual PCI Common Equivalents, bears
to (ii) the quotient of the Value Floor divided by the Nextel Closing Price on
the date of the Closing.
1.11 NEXTEL CLOSING PRICE. As used in this Agreement, the "Nextel Closing
Price" shall be the arithmetic average of the closing sales price for Nextel
Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market (the "Nasdaq NM") for the 20 trading
days
14
immediately preceding the date on which the Nextel Closing Price is to be
determined.
1.12 OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. Nextel and PCI agree that in the event of any
change in the terms of the authorized capital stock of Nextel (other than a
change solely in the number of shares), or the declaration or payment of any
share dividend or share distribution by Nextel to its stockholders, or any
distribution of cash, property or securities by Nextel to its stockholders
(other than regular quarterly cash dividends payable out of earnings), or any
split, reclassification, recapitalization, subdivision or exchange in respect of
the outstanding stock of Nextel, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to
the number of shares of Nextel Common Stock issuable in the Merger, as set forth
in Section 1.1, to place each of Nextel, NFC, and Merger Sub, PCI and the
holders of PCI Common Stock in the same posture as if the Effective Time of the
Merger had occurred immediately prior to the occurrence of the event giving rise
to such adjustment. Further, Nextel and PCI agree that in the event of any
change in the terms of the authorized capital stock of PCI, or any distribution
of securities by PCI to its stockholders, or any split, reclassification,
recapitalization, subdivision or exchange in respect of the outstanding stock of
PCI, appropriate adjustments shall be made to place each of Nextel, Merger Sub,
PCI and the holders of PCI Common Stock in the same posture as if the Effective
Time of the Merger had occurred immediately prior to the occurrence of the event
giving rise to such adjustment. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to the
preceding sentence
15
for redemptions, repurchases or other cancellation or retirement of
outstanding shares of PCI Common Stock or rights to acquire shares of PCI
Common Stock.
1.13 TERMS OF THE MERGER. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware ("GCL"), as soon as practicable following the satisfaction (or, to the
extent permitted, the waiver) of the conditions set forth in Article VIII,
Merger Sub and PCI shall cause a Certificate of Merger (the "Certificate of
Merger") to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware as
provided in Section 251 of the GCL. The Certificate of Merger shall provide
that Merger Sub shall be merged with and into PCI (the "Merger"). Following the
Merger, PCI shall continue as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving
Corporation").
1.14 EFFECTIVE TIME; EFFECTS OF THE MERGER. The Merger shall become
effective when both (a) this Agreement shall be adopted and approved by the
stockholders of PCI in accordance with the applicable provisions of the GCL and
(b) the Certificate of Merger, executed in accordance with the relevant
provisions of the GCL, is filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware (the
time the Merger becomes effective being referred to as the "Effective Time of
the Merger"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject
thereto, at the Effective Time of the Merger: the separate existence of Merger
Sub shall cease; the Surviving Corporation shall possess all assets and property
of every description, and all interests therein, wherever located,
16
and the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and authority, of
a public as well as of a private nature, of each of Merger Sub and PCI (the
"Constituent Corporations"); all obligations belonging to or due each of the
Constituent Corporations shall be vested in, and become the obligations of,
the Surviving Corporation without further act or deed; title to any real
estate or any interest therein vested in either of the Constituent
Corporations shall not revert or in any way be impaired by reason of the
Merger; all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of any of the
Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, and the Surviving
Corporation shall be liable for all of the obligations of each of the
Constituent Corporations; and any claim existing, or action or proceeding
pending, by or against either of the Constituent Corporations may be
prosecuted to judgment with right of appeal, as if the Merger had not taken
place.
1.15 CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. The Certificate of
Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately preceding the Effective
Time of the Merger shall constitute the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Surviving Corporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") within the meaning of
the GCL Section 104. The By-Laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately
preceding the Effective Time of the Merger shall constitute the By-Laws of the
Surviving Corporation (the "By-Laws") until amended in accordance with
applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation.
17
1.16 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The directors and officers of Merger Sub
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be the directors and
officers of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time of the Merger and
shall hold office from the Effective Time of the Merger until their respective
successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided
in the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation, or
as otherwise provided by law.
1.17 EXCHANGE AGENT. Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, Nextel
shall designate a bank or trust company to act as exchange agent in the Merger
(the "Exchange Agent"). Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, Nextel shall
contribute to NFC the shares of Nextel Common Stock necessary to make payment
for each share of the capital stock of PCI being converted by reason of the
Merger. Immediately thereafter, NFC shall contribute such shares of Nextel
Common Stock to Merger Sub and Merger Sub will immediately prior to or at the
Effective Time of the Merger deliver to the Exchange Agent such shares of Nextel
Common Stock.
1.18 SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES AND DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION.
(a) Promptly after the Effective Time of the Merger, Nextel shall
cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or
certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger
represented outstanding shares of PCI Common Stock (the "Certificates") (i) a
letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and
risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only
18
upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be
in form approved by Nextel and the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for
use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for
certificates representing shares of Nextel Common Stock and cash for
fractional shares. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate or
Certificates, together with a letter of transmittal duly executed (in the
approved form), and such other documents as the Surviving Corporation or the
Exchange Agent may reasonably request, a holder of a Certificate shall be
entitled to receive in exchange therefor a portion of Nextel Common Stock as
set forth in Section 1.1, as adjusted pursuant to this Article I (the "Merger
Consideration").
(b) The stock transfer books of PCI shall be closed at the Effective
Time of the Merger and no transfer of capital stock of PCI outstanding prior to
the Effective Time of the Merger shall be registered on the stock transfer books
of the Surviving Corporation. If Nextel Common Stock is to be issued to a
person other than the person in whose name the Certificates are registered, it
shall be a condition of issuance that the Certificates surrendered shall be
properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person
requesting such issuance shall pay all transfer and other taxes required by
reason of the receipt by a person other than the registered holder of the
Certificates surrendered, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is
not applicable.
19
(c) At any time following ninety days after the Effective Time of the
Merger, Nextel shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to
Nextel any Nextel Common Stock which had been made available to the Exchange
Agent by or on behalf of Nextel or the Surviving Corporation and which has not
been disbursed to holders of Certificates, and thereafter such holders shall be
entitled to look to Nextel (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other
similar laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Nextel
Common Stock payable upon due surrender of their Certificates. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Nextel shall not be liable to a holder of Certificates for
amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned
property, escheat or similar laws. Nextel shall pay all charges and expenses,
including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of
shares.
(d) If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered prior to one
year after the Effective Time of the Merger (or immediately prior to such
earlier date on which any payment in respect thereof would otherwise escheat to
or become the property of any governmental unit or agency), the payment in
respect of such Certificates shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
become the property of Nextel, free and clear of all claims of interest of any
person previously entitled thereto.
(e) Certificates, if and when presented to the Exchange Agent or the
Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time of the Merger, shall be cancelled
and exchanged for the
20
consideration provided for, and in accordance with, the procedures set forth
in this Section.
1.19 NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement (but subject to the final sentence of this Section 1.19), no
fractional share of Nextel Common Stock or certificates or scrip therefor shall
be issued as a result of the conversion of issued and outstanding capital stock
of PCI into Nextel Common Stock, but in lieu of each fractional interest there
shall be made a payment in cash therefor, without interest, at a pro rata price
based on the Nextel Closing Price. The Surviving Corporation shall provide (or
shall cause one or more of its Affiliates to provide) the Exchange Agent with
sufficient cash to make such payments, and, thereafter, the Surviving
Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to make such payments to the holders
of Certificates in cash, without interest, on the surrender of their
Certificates. Wherever in this Agreement it is contemplated that, in connection
with the Merger, cash payment shall be made in lieu of fractional share
interests to persons otherwise entitled to receive such fractional share
interests, Nextel may (in its sole and absolute discretion) deliver to such
persons a number of whole shares, determined by rounding up to the nearest whole
share, and thereupon shall be relieved of any obligation hereunder to make cash
payments to such persons in lieu of any fractional share interests.
1.20 RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) At the Effective Time of the Merger, the holders of Certificates
for shares of capital stock of PCI (other than
21
certificates representing shares held in PCI's treasury, which shall be
automatically cancelled pursuant to the Merger) shall cease to have any
rights as stockholders of PCI, and their sole rights shall pertain to the
shares of Nextel Common Stock into which their shares of PCI capital stock
shall have been converted by the Merger. After the Effective Time of the
Merger, each holder of outstanding Certificates for shares of capital stock
of PCI shall be entitled upon surrender of the same duly transmitted to the
Exchange Agent to receive in exchange therefor certificates representing the
number of whole shares of Nextel Common Stock into which such holder's shares
of capital stock of PCI shall have been converted by the Merger, plus (if
applicable) cash in lieu of fractional shares.
(b) Pending surrender and exchange under this Agreement, a holder's
Certificates for capital stock of PCI shall be deemed for all corporate
purposes, other than the payment of dividends, to evidence the number of whole
shares of Nextel Common Stock into which such shares have been converted by the
Merger and, subject to the last sentence of Section 1.19, the right to receive
cash for any fractional interests resulting therefrom. Subject to
Section 1.18(d), unless and until any outstanding Certificates for shares of PCI
capital stock are surrendered, no dividend (stock or cash) payable to holders of
record of Nextel Common Stock as of any date subsequent to the Effective Time of
the Merger shall be paid to the holder of any such Certificate, but upon such
surrender of such Certificates there shall be paid to the record holder of the
certificate for
22
Nextel Common Stock issued in exchange therefor the amount of dividends, if
any, but without interest, that have theretofore become payable subsequent to
the Effective Time of the Merger with respect to the number of whole shares
of Nextel Common Stock represented by the certificate issued upon such
surrender and exchange.
1.21 ASSUMPTION OF STOCK OPTIONS.
(a) Schedules 2.5(a) and 2.5(b) set forth a list of each director and
employee stock option outstanding on the date of the First Agreement, whether or
not fully exercisable (collectively, the "PCI Stock Options"), to purchase PCI
Common Stock heretofore granted or assumed by PCI pursuant to any stock option,
stock purchase or similar plan adopted, assumed or maintained at any time by
PCI, any of its controlled Affiliates or any of their respective predecessors in
interest, including but not limited to the PCI 1993 Stock Option Plan, the PCI
1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, the PCI 1996 Stock Option Plan,
and the PCI 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, each as amended and in
effect on the date of the First Agreement (collectively the "PCI Option Plans").
Schedules 2.5(a) and 2.5(b) also set forth with respect to each PCI Stock Option
the option exercise price, the number of shares subject to the option, any
related stock appreciation rights, the dates of grant, vesting, exercisability
and expiration of the option and whether the option is an incentive stock option
or a non-qualified stock option. All rights under the PCI Stock Options shall
be treated as provided in this Section 1.21, and to the
23
extent the terms of the PCI Option Plans and/or of any related agreements are
inconsistent with the treatment to be accorded to the PCI Stock Options
pursuant to this Section 1.21, then PCI shall cause the PCI Option Plans
and/or any related agreements with affected participants to be amended, and
all required third party, governmental and regulatory body consents or
approvals to such amendments to be procured, such that all such
inconsistencies shall be eliminated by the Effective Time of the Merger.
(b) Each PCI Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger shall be converted at the Effective Time of the
Merger into an issued and outstanding option of Nextel in accordance with the
terms of the PCI Option Plans, so that (i) from and after the Effective Time of
the Merger, each such PCI Stock Option may be exercised only for shares of
Nextel Common Stock notwithstanding any contrary provision of the PCI Option
Plans or stock option agreements executed in connection therewith, (ii) each
such PCI Stock Option shall at the Effective Time of the Merger become an option
to purchase a number of shares of Nextel Common Stock equal to the quotient
arrived at by dividing the number of shares of PCI Common Stock subject to such
option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Basic Exchange Ratio, as
adjusted pursuant to Article I ("Converted Nextel Shares"), and (iii) the
exercise price per share of Nextel Common Stock at which each such PCI Stock
Option is exercisable shall be the amount (rounded up to the next whole cent)
arrived at by multiplying the exercise price
24
per share of PCI Common Stock at which such PCI Stock Option is exercisable
immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Basic Exchange Ratio, as
adjusted pursuant to Article I (the "Converted Per Share Price"); provided,
however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Nextel shall not issue or pay
for any fractional share otherwise issuable upon any exercise by any holder
of PCI Stock Options that are so converted, and provided further, however,
that in the case of each PCI Stock Option which is an incentive stock option,
the Basic Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted for such option, if necessary, so
as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option,
within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. All PCI Stock Options
converted into issued and outstanding options of Nextel pursuant to the
preceding sentence, except those PCI Stock Options held by directors who are
not also employees or consultants of PCI or any of its subsidiaries, shall be
so converted into issued and outstanding options under Nextel's Amended and
Restated Incentive Equity Plan, as amended May 13, 1996 (the "Nextel Plan").
(c) The Board of Directors of PCI and/or of the Surviving
Corporation, as appropriate, shall take such action as may be required under the
PCI Option Plans and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
Nextel shall take such action as may be required under the Nextel Plan to
effectuate the foregoing. Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, Nextel
shall reserve for issuance the number of shares of Nextel Common Stock necessary
to satisfy the obligations of Nextel under this Section 1.21, and within five
(5) business days
25
after the Effective Time of the Merger, Nextel shall register such shares
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, PCI, and thereafter the Surviving
Corporation, as may be appropriate, shall take such actions as are necessary
to effect the provisions of this Section 1.21 and to preserve for the holders
of PCI Stock Options the benefits to be provided pursuant to this Section
1.21. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.21(c), neither PCI nor
Nextel shall have any liability for failing to take (or to cause to be taken)
actions in respect of any stock option plan or related agreement that would
violate (in any material respect) the terms thereof or would be prohibited by
applicable law.
1.22 WARRANTS. At the Effective Time of the Merger, PCI's outstanding
warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase shares of PCI Common Stock shall be
assumed by Nextel. Each Warrant shall thereafter evidence a warrant to purchase
the number of shares of Nextel Common Stock into which the number of shares of
PCI Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Warrant would have been converted in
the Merger at an exercise price per share equal to the amount (rounded up to the
next whole cent) arrived at by dividing the aggregate exercise price under such
Warrant by the number of shares of Nextel Common Stock purchasable thereunder,
unless exchanged at the Closing for warrants of Nextel pursuant to agreements
with the warrant holders as described in the Recitals or as contemplated by
Section 5.4.

expected to result in PCI or any Subsidiary becoming liable directly or
indirectly (by indemnification or otherwise) for any material excise tax,
penalty or other liability under ERISA or the Code.
(f) There are no actions or claims pending or, to the knowledge of
PCI or any Subsidiary, threatened, with respect to
50
any Employee Plan (other than routine claims for benefits), and there are no

for benefits under any Employee Plan, (x) there is no liability of PCI and its
Subsidiaries, in the nature of a retroactive or retrospective rate adjustment,
loss sharing arrangement, or other actual or contingent liability, nor would
there be any such liability if such insurance policy was terminated on the date
hereof, and (y) no insurance company issuing any such policy is in receivership,
conservatorship, liquidation or similar proceeding and, to the knowledge of PCI
and its Subsidiaries, no such proceedings with respect to any insurer are
imminent.

4980B of the Code (or which was subject to Section 162(k) of the Code) has been

Social Security Act has been operated in compliance with the secondary payer
requirements of Section 1862(b)(1) of such Act.

not, solely in and of itself, (i) constitute a stated triggering event under any
Employee Plan that will result in any payment (whether of severance pay or
otherwise) becoming due from PCI or any Subsidiary to any present or former
officer, employee, director, shareholder or consultant, or former employee (or
dependents of any thereof), or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting,
or increase the amount, of compensation due to any employee, officer, director,
shareholder or consultant of PCI or any Subsidiary.

any amendments to any of the Employee Plans not already embodied in the
documents comprising any such Employee Plan, other than any amendments required
by law.

be performed in the future).

with information previously furnished by PCI to Nextel, did not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required

transmitter locations (by address), and number of channels covered by such
SMR Licenses, the term of such agreements, any options or calls (and the
respective option or call prices as well as the time period in which any

Subsidiaries, the terms of all such PCI Management Agreements and Third-Party
Management Agreements and the operation of each SMR System pursuant thereto
comply with the Communications Act and all applicable rules, regulations and
policies of the FCC. Except for matters that are, individually or in the

Management Agreement. Each PCI Management Agreement includes an option
allowing PCI or a Subsidiary to purchase the channels that are subject to
that agreement and no such option will be adversely affected by the Merger.
(f) DISCRETE FREQUENCY APPLICATION. PCI has provided Nextel access
to, and prior to December 16, 1996 will have delivered to Nextel a true and

acceleration, termination or creation would not have a material adverse
effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations,
liabilities or assets of Nextel and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or
would not impair Nextel's or Merger Sub's ability to perform, in any material
respect, its obligations under this Agreement or any other document or
instrument to which Nextel or Merger Sub is a party in connection with the
transactions contemplated herein.
3.5 INFORMATION. Nextel has delivered to PCI each registration statement,

December 31, 1995 and (b) Nextel's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, (collectively, the "Nextel Reports"). As of the date of
the First Agreement, the Nextel Reports, taken as a whole and taken together
with any other information previously furnished by Nextel to PCI (except for any
forecasts or projections or forward-looking estimates or similar predictive
information contained therein), did not 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 made therein, in light of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading. As used in this Section, "material" means
material to the business, financial condition, results of operations,

relations with it.
4.3 INSPECTION. PCI shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, permit

and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each Subsidiary to, furnish
to Nextel such information about PCI and each Subsidiary (including their
respective affiliates) as may be necessary to enable Nextel to prepare and file
with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 under the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in respect of the shares of
Nextel Common Stock to be issued by reason of the Merger (such registration
statement, the prospectus included therein and the proxy statement to be
furnished to the holders of PCI Common Stock, in each case together with any
amendments or supplements thereto, the "Registration Statement"). PCI shall use
its reasonable best efforts so that the PCI Information (as defined below)
included in the Registration Statement shall not, at the time the Registration
Statement is declared effective, at the time the proxy statement/prospectus
contained therein is first mailed to PCI's stockholders, or at the time of the
meeting of the stockholders of PCI to approve the Merger, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact, omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein, or omit any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading. If at any time prior to the Effective Time
any event or circumstance should come to the attention of PCI with respect to
the PCI Information which is required to be set forth in an
70
amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, PCI will immediately
notify Nextel and shall assist Nextel in appropriately amending or
supplementing the Registration Statement in the manner contemplated in
Section 5.2(b). An amendment or supplement may be accomplished, to the
extent permitted by law, rule or regulation, by including such information in
a filing under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into the
Registration Statement. The Registration Statement insofar as it relates to
information concerning PCI, its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective
businesses, assets, directors, affiliates, officers or shareholders that is
supplied by PCI for inclusion in the Registration Statement, including
incorporation by reference to SEC filings (the "PCI Information"), will
comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; except that
PCI shall have no liability or obligation for any information other than the
PCI Information.
(b) PCI shall instruct its accountants to deliver and shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause its accountants, KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, to
deliver to Nextel letters dated at the time the Registration Statement becomes
effective and as of the Closing, addressed to Nextel, each containing such
matters as are customarily contained in auditors' letters regarding information
about PCI and its Subsidiaries expressly for inclusion in the
71
Registration Statement, and in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Nextel.
4.5 ANTITRUST FILING. In connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, PCI (and, to the extent required, its affiliates) shall promptly
file or cause to be filed any reports, documents, filings or other data required
to be filed by PCI pursuant to the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act
of 0000 (xxx "XXX Xxx") and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
and shall use its best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to all
inquiries received for additional information or documentation.
4.6 RESTRAINT ON SOLICITATIONS. From the date of the First Agreement
until the Effective Time of the Merger, neither PCI nor any of its respective
directors, officers, employees, affiliates, representatives or agents, shall
directly or indirectly, encourage (including by way of furnishing information),
solicit, initiate, participate in or otherwise be a party to any discussions or
negotiations with any corporation, partnership, person or other entity or group
concerning any transaction that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to
lead to, any Takeover Proposal (as defined herein). Neither the Board of
Directors of PCI nor any committee thereof shall (a) withdraw or modify, or
propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Nextel, the approval or
recommendation by the Board of Directors of PCI of the Merger or this Agreement
or (b) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Takeover
Proposal or any other acquisition of outstanding shares of PCI
72
Common Stock other than pursuant to the Merger or this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall
prevent the Board of Directors of PCI from furnishing information to, or
entering into discussions or negotiations with, any unsolicited corporation,
partnership, person or other entity or group, or taking any action described
in clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence, if and only to the extent
that the Board of Directors of PCI shall have determined in good faith, after
receiving written advice of its outside counsel, that such action would be
required under applicable law in the exercise of its fiduciary duties. PCI
will immediately notify Nextel if any such inquiries or proposals are
received by, any such information is requested from, or any such negotiations
or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, PCI. As used in
this Agreement, "Takeover Proposal" shall mean any tender or exchange offer,
proposal, other than a proposal by Nextel or any of its affiliates, for a
merger, share exchange or other business combination involving PCI or any
proposal or offer to acquire in any manner a substantial equity interest in
PCI or a substantial portion of the assets of PCI.
4.7 BEST EFFORTS. PCI shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, use its
reasonable best efforts (i) to obtain prior to Closing all of the SMR licenses
or applications being sought by PCI and/or a Subsidiary that are on file with
and pending approval from the FCC prior to Closing, including all frequencies or
applications pending as of the date of the First Agreement for
73
wide area ESMR filings and all finder's preference applications, and (ii) to
obtain as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to Closing all FCC
approvals or consents necessary to permit the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. PCI shall obtain the
amendments, consents and approvals regarding the PCI Stock Options and/or any
related agreements contemplated by Section 1.21(a).
4.8 STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. After the Registration Statement has become
effective, PCI shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly furnish a copy

and to call and convene a special meeting to obtain promptly any approvals of
the PCI stockholders required in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.
4.9 AFFILIATES.
(a) PCI shall use all reasonable efforts to cause each person who is
an "affiliate" of PCI for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act to
deliver to Nextel prior to the date of PCI's stockholders' meeting a written
agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A.
4.10 UPDATE INFORMATION. Not earlier than ten (10) and not less than five
(5) days before the date scheduled for Closing, PCI shall correct and supplement
in writing any information furnished on Schedules that, to the knowledge of PCI,
is incorrect or incomplete (or otherwise expressly contemplated by Article II of
this Agreement), and shall promptly furnish such corrected and supplemented
information to Nextel, so that such
74
information shall be correct and complete at the time such updated
information is so provided. Thereafter, to the Closing, PCI shall notify
Nextel in writing of any changes or supplements to the updated information
needed, to the knowledge of PCI, to make such information correct and
complete at all times to the Closing. It is agreed that the furnishing of
such corrected and supplemental information, in and of itself, shall not
create any presumption that such information constitutes or evidences the
existence of a material change or any breach or violation by PCI of any
provision of this Agreement.
ARTICLE V. COVENANTS OF NEXTEL
5.1 ANTITRUST FILING. In connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, Nextel shall promptly file or cause to be filed any reports,

contain PCI Information, assuming and relying on timely and full compliance with
Section 4.4.
(b) Nextel shall use its reasonable best efforts so that the
information included in the Registration Statement, shall not, at the time the
Registration Statement is declared effective, at the time the proxy

order to make the statements therein not misleading; except that such covenant
of Nextel is made, as to those portions of the Registration Statement containing
or required to contain PCI Information, assuming and relying on timely and full
compliance with Section 4.4. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any
event or circumstance should come to the attention of Nextel which is required
to be
76
set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement,
Nextel will use its reasonable best efforts to appropriately amend or supplement
the Registration Statement. An amendment or supplement may be accomplished, to
the extent permitted by law, rule or regulation, by including such information
in a filing under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into the
Registration Statement. The Registration Statement and all other documents
required to be filed by Nextel with the SEC in connection with the transactions
contemplated herein will comply as to form and substance in all material
respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder; except that Nextel shall have no liability or obligation for any PCI
Information.
5.3 CURRENT PUBLIC INFORMATION. Nextel shall use all reasonable efforts
to file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC
thereunder and shall use all reasonable efforts to take such further action as
may be necessary to ensure that the requirements of Rule 144(c) under the
Securities Act are satisfied such as to enable any "affiliates" of PCI (for
purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) to offer or sell the shares of
Nextel Common Stock received by them in the Merger pursuant to paragraph (d) of
Rule 145 (subject to compliance with the provisions of paragraphs (e), (f) and
(g) of Rule 144).
77
5.4 OFFER TO WARRANT HOLDERS. Nextel shall offer to each holder of a
warrant listed on Schedule 2.5(a) (other than FMR, Corp.) the opportunity to
exchange its warrant at the Closing for a warrant to purchase shares of Nextel
Common Stock in the form attached as Annex D. Any terms and conditions
negotiated by Nextel with any warrant holder shall not give any other warrant
holder the right to comparable terms and conditions. Nextel's offer pursuant to
this Section 5.4 shall expire at the time the Registration Statement is filed
with the SEC.
5.5 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INDEMNIFICATION. (a) For a period of three
years from and after the Effective Time of the Merger, Nextel shall cause the
Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former
director and officer of PCI against any costs or expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities
incurred in connection with any claim, proceeding, investigation or action,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or
pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time of
the Merger, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time
of the Merger, to the fullest extent that PCI would have been permitted under
the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of PCI in effect immediately prior
to the Effective Time of the Merger to indemnify such person (including the
advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law; PROVIDED that the person to whom such expenses are advanced
provides an undertaking to the Surviving
78
Corporation to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such
person is not entitled to indemnification).
(b) For a period of three years from and after the Effective Time of
the Merger, Nextel shall cause the Surviving Corporation to use all reasonable
efforts to maintain director and officer insurance comparable to that maintained
by PCI at the Effective Time of the Merger. After the third anniversary of the
Closing, the Surviving Corporation may terminate such insurance provided that
the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation reasonably determines that
the Surviving Corporation has the financial ability to satisfy its
indemnification obligations under this Section 5.5.
5.6 EMPLOYEE MATTERS. (a) If any individual who is employed by PCI at the
Effective Time of the Merger whose employment with the Surviving Corporation
(and all affiliates of the Surviving Corporation) is involuntarily terminated by
the Surviving Corporation or an affiliate without cause (as defined below)
during the six-month period immediately after the Effective Time of the Merger
then (y) such individual shall receive a severance payment, subject to
applicable withholding and other taxes, in an amount equal to (i) three (3)
times such employee's monthly salary, plus (ii) an additional week's salary for
each year that such employee had been employed by PCI, plus (iii) an amount
equal to the unvested employer's contributions made or accrued on or before the
date of the Closing to the PCI 401(k) Plan for the account of that employee and
(z) all issued and outstanding options of Nextel held by such employee shall
79
automatically vest. For purposes of this Section, termination without cause
shall mean the termination of any employee's employment with the Surviving
Corporation and all affiliates of the Surviving Corporation other than a
termination for one or more of the following reasons: (i) willful, knowing and
intentional violation of an express direction or rule or regulation of general
application; (ii) theft, misappropriation or embezzlement of the employer's
funds; (iii) conviction of a felony; or (iv) repeated and consistent failure to
be present at work during regular hours without a valid reason therefor.

each Executive shall be terminated upon the occurrence of a "change of control"
as defined therein, and, upon such termination, the Surviving Corporation will
pay and make available to each Executive, all of the severance payments and
rights provided for in Section 2.2(e) of each such agreement.
(c) At the Effective Time of the Merger, all issued and outstanding
options of PCI held by non-employee directors of PCI shall automatically vest.

with Nextel's Registration Statement, (ii) for any
80
other governmental filing required in order to complete the transactions
contemplated herein, and (iii) as Nextel and PCI may agree or consent in
writing, all information received by PCI and Nextel and their respective
representatives pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be kept in
strictest confidence by the receiving party and its representatives. If the
transactions contemplated hereby shall fail to be consummated, all copies of
documents or extracts thereof containing information and data as to one of
the other parties, including all information prepared by the receiving party
or such receiving party's representatives, shall be turned over to the party
furnishing same, except that such information prepared by the receiving party
or such receiving party's representatives may be destroyed at the option of
the receiving party, with notice of such destruction (or return) to be
confirmed in writing to the disclosing party. Any information not so
destroyed (or returned) will remain subject to these confidentiality
provisions (notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement) until the
second anniversary of the date of the First Agreement.
(b) The foregoing confidentiality provisions shall not apply to such
portions of the information received which (i) are or become generally available
to the public through no action by the receiving party or by such party's
representatives or (ii) are or become available to the receiving party on a
nonconfidential basis from a source, other than the disclosing party or its
representatives, which the receiving party believes, after reasonable inquiry,
is not prohibited from disclosing such
81
portions to it by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation, and shall not
apply to any disclosure by Nextel of any information disclosed by PCI, so
long as such disclosure occurs after the Closing.
6.2 STANDSTILL AGREEMENT. From the date of the First Agreement until
the Effective Time of the Merger, neither PCI, nor any representatives of PCI,
acting on its behalf or in concert with it, will directly or indirectly (i)
acquire, or offer, propose or agree to acquire, by purchase or otherwise, any
Nextel Common Stock, or (ii) participate in or encourage the formation of any
partnership, syndicate or other group which owns or seeks or offers to acquire
beneficial ownership of, any Nextel Common Stock.
6.3 TRADING PROHIBITIONS. PCI hereby acknowledges that as a result of
disclosures by Nextel contemplated under this Agreement, PCI and its affiliates
may, from time to time, have material, non-public information concerning Nextel
and other companies. PCI confirms that it and its affiliates are aware and PCI
has advised its representatives that (i) the United States securities laws may
prohibit a person who has material, non-public information from purchasing or
selling securities of any company to which such information relates, and (ii)
material non-public information shall not be communicated to any other person
except as permitted herein.
6.4 SUBSTITUTE OF SUBSIDIARY. Nextel has the option to substitute any
wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Nextel either for NFC or Merger
Sub in connection with the
82
Merger, provided that such substitution does not adversely affect the
interests of PCI or its stockholders. If Nextel makes such an election, each
reference to NFC or Merger Sub, as applicable, herein shall be deemed to
refer to the new subsidiary.
6.5 SUPPORT OF TRANSACTIONS. Nextel, PCI and their respective affiliates
shall each (i) use his or its reasonable best efforts to assemble, prepare and
file any information (and, as needed, to supplement such information) as may be
reasonably necessary to obtain as promptly as practicable all governmental and
regulatory consents required under Article VIII, (ii) exert his or its
reasonable best efforts to obtain all material consents and approvals of third
parties that either of Nextel, PCI or their respective affiliates are
responsible to obtain in order to consummate the Merger, (iii) take such other
action as may reasonably be necessary or as another party may reasonably request
to satisfy the conditions of Article VIII or otherwise to comply with this
Agreement, and (iv) provide the other parties, and such other party's employees,
officers, accountants, lawyers, financial advisors and other representatives
with access to its personnel, properties, business and records under all
reasonable circumstances.
6.6 COOPERATION CONCERNING EXTENDED IMPLEMENTATION CHANNELS. Nextel, PCI
and their respective controlled affiliates agree to cooperate and to use their
respective best efforts to achieve the maximum amount of time from the FCC for
construction of the Extended Implementation Channels. Accordingly, PCI agrees
to present reasonably in advance of any proposed filing with the
83
FCC a draft for review by Nextel and either (i) to make such changes as are
proposed by Nextel or (ii) to discuss any changes proposed by Nextel that
will not be made in the filing. Further, Nextel, PCI and their respective
controlled affiliates shall cooperate with regard to any design, engineering,
zoning, equipment selection or construction efforts to achieve construction
of such Extended Implementation Channels as economically as possible and in
full compliance with all applicable rules and regulations of the FCC. Nextel
may, in its sole discretion, advance cash to PCI to enable PCI to construct
channels on which there is at any time prior to Closing less than six months
remaining to construct Extended Implementation Channels after the FCC has
responded to PCI's filings for rejustification of its extended implementation
grants.
6.7 AUCTION PARTICIPATION.
(a) DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Section, the following
terms shall have the following indicated meanings:
(i) "EA" means Bureau of Economic Analysis Economic Area, the
defined market-based service areas in which blocks of SMR spectrum are
proposed to be assigned pursuant to the EA Auction.
(ii) "EA Auction" means the 800 MHz SMR block license auction
established by the FCC in the First Report and Order, PR Docket No. 93-144,
released December 15, 1995.
(iii) "Overlap EAs" means the following EAs: 127 (Dallas/Ft.
Worth); 128 (Abilene); 129 (San Xxxxxx); 130 (Austin); 131 (Houston); 132
(Corpus Christi); 133 (McAllen); 134 (San Antonio); 135 (Odessa-Midland);
136 (Xxxxx); 137 (Lubbock); 138 (Amarillo); 157 (El Paso); and 87
(Beaumont).
(b) FORMATION OF CONSORTIUM. In the event that, pursuant to FCC
rules, the filing deadline for eligibility to participate in the EA Auction
occurs prior to the earlier of the Effective Time of the Merger or the
expiration or termination of this Agreement, PCI and Nextel or a designated
subsidiary (hereinafter referred to as "Nextel") shall form a consortium to
participate in bidding in the EA Auction for block licenses in the Overlap EAs.
Nextel shall determine and control all aspects of the consortium's bidding
strategy and participation (including, without limitation, determining the
amount of the joint bids to be submitted by the consortium, the EAs in which
to bid, and whether to top competing bids) and shall be responsible for funding
100% of the consortium's bids. Neither party shall bid for block licenses in
the Overlap EAs except via the consortium and PCI shall not bid for block
licenses in EAs outside of the Overlap EAs. Nextel shall be free to bid for
block licenses outside of the Overlap EAs individually or in consortia formed
with other parties, and without reference to the consortium procedures set
forth herein.
(c) AWARDED CHANNELS. Nextel shall be entitled to retain the
right to all channels included in block licenses the consortium is awarded
pursuant to the EA Auction, if any (each, an "Awarded License") subject to
the PCI purchase option hereinafter described. In the event of the
termination or expiration of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time of
the Merger but after the formation of the consortium, PCI shall have the
right to purchase an aggregate of twenty (20) channels in each Overlap EA in
which an Awarded License is granted (but no more than twenty (20) channels in
any Overlap EA), exercisable by written notice to Nextel within thirty (30)
days after the later of (i) such expiration or termination, and (ii) the
grant of the Awarded License to the consortium; provided that (A) the
consortium is granted Awarded License(s) including more than twenty (20)
channels in the Overlap EA with respect to which PCI wishes to exercise its
purchase option; and (B) if the disaggregation of channels from an Awarded
License would be necessary to permit the assignment and sale of such channels
to PCI, such disaggregation of channels included in licenses granted pursuant
to the EA Auction is permitted under FCC rules. The purchase price payable to
Nextel upon the exercise of such option shall be an amount in cash equal to
the auction bid price paid by the consortium for such channels. The channels
sold to PCI upon an exercise of the purchase option shall be chosen by Nextel
and shall be contiguous channels included in an Awarded License. The parties
shall use all reasonable efforts to effect the assignment to PCI of any
channels with respect to which the purchase option is exercised (including,
without limitation, cooperation in the submission of applications for the
assignment or transfer of control of subject channels required under
applicable FCC rules) promptly following such exercise. Such purchase option
is applicable only to the rights to use of spectrum in the Overlap EAs which
may be obtained by the consortium in the EA Auction (if any), and shall not
apply to existing channel holdings of Nextel or its subsidiaries or channel
holdings that Nextel or its subsidiaries may acquire other than as an Awarded
License in the EA Auction.
(d) FURTHER ASSURANCES; REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. The provisions of
this Agreement reflect the intention of the parties with respect to their
participation in the EA Auction, but such provisions are based on certain
assumptions regarding the procedures and rules adopted by the FCC pursuant to
which the EA Auction will be conducted (including, without limitation, the
permissibility of parties bidding jointly via a consortium for block licenses
in specified EAs, but individually and without reference to the consortium in
other EAs). If, however, such procedures and rules vary from those assumed by
the parties hereto, such that the provisions of this Agreement are inapposite
or otherwise unworkable, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to
amend this Agreement in order to provide an alternate manner of cooperating
in their participation in the EA Auction in the Overlap EAs to carry out the
intent of the parties set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
provision herein does not comport with regulations adopted by the FCC, such
provision will be null and void. The parties will extend all reasonable good
faith efforts to act in conformance with the intent of this Agreement but
under no circumstances will this Agreement be interpreted as requiring either
party to take any action prohibited, or fail to take any action required, by
FCC regulations.
ARTICLE VII. CLOSING
7.1 FILING. As soon as all of the conditions set forth in Article VIII of
this Agreement have either been fulfilled or waived, the Boards of Directors of
