deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Western Power Stock Option, the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such Western Power Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Western Power Merger had such holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded downward to the nearest whole number), at a price per share (rounded downward to the nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Western Power Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such Western Power Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (z) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such Western Power Stock Option in accordance with the foregoing.

SECTION 2.2. Conversion of E-Mobile Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the E-Mobile Merger and without any action on the part of any of the parties hereto or the holders of any shares of E-Mobile Common Stock or capital stock of Merger Sub 2:

At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of E- Mobile Common Stock (a "E-Mobile Stock Option") under the E-Mobile Stock Plans (as defined in Section 4.2(a)) or otherwise, whether vested or unvested, shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such E-Mobile Stock Option, the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such E-Mobile Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the E-Mobile Merger had such holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded downward to the nearest whole number), at a price per share (rounded downward to the nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of E-Mobile Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such E-Mobile Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (z) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such E-Mobile Stock Option in accordance with the foregoing.

SECTION 2.3. Cancellation of Parent Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Mergers and without any action on the part of any holder of any capital stock of Western Power, E-Mobile or Parent, each share of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

SECTION 2.4. Exchange of Certificates. The procedures for exchanging shares of Western Power Common Stock and E-Mobile Common Stock for Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Mergers are as follows:

(a) Exchange Agent. As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with a bank or trust company designated by E-Mobile and Western Power (the "Exchange Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Western Power Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time and the holders of shares of E-Mobile Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.4, through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 in exchange for outstanding shares of Western Power Common Stock and E-Mobile Common Stock, respectively (such shares of Parent Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund").

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Western Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common Stock (the "Certificates") whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 into the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock (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 upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Western Power and E-Mobile may reasonably specify), and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the Certificate so surrendered shall immediately be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Western Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common Stock prior to the Effective Time which is not registered in the transfer records of Western Power or E-Mobile, respectively, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Western Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Immediately after the Effective Time, each outstanding Certificate which theretofore represented shares of Western Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common Stock shall represent only the right to receive the shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof and shall not be deemed to evidence ownership of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Western Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common Stock would be or were, as the case may be, converted into the right to receive until the Certificate therefor shall have been surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.4.

(c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock the holder thereof is entitled to receive in respect thereof until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time previously paid with respect to such

whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Western Power Common Stock and E-Mobile Common Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.4) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Western Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificates, subject, however, to the applicable Surviving Corporation's obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been declared or made by Western Power on such shares of Western Power Common Stock or by E-Mobile on such shares of E-Mobile Common Stock, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (to the extent permitted under Section 5.1) prior to the date hereof and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and from and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Western Power Surviving Corporation or the E-Mobile Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, of the shares of Western Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common Stock, respectively, which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to one of the Surviving Corporations or Parent for any reason, such Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.4.

(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to cash in lieu of such fractional share, to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the former stockholders of Western Power or E-Mobile on the 180th day after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any former stockholder of Western Power or E-Mobile who has not previously complied with this Section 2.4 shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of such stockholder's claim for Parent Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock.

(g) No Liability. None of Western Power, E-Mobile or Parent shall be liable to any holder of shares of Western Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common Stock, as the case may be, for any shares of Parent Common Stock (or any dividends or distributions with respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(h) Withholding Rights.

(a) by mutual written consent of Western Power and E-Mobile; or

(b); by either Western Power or E-Mobile if the Mergers shall not have been consummated by May 31, 2001 (the "Outside Date"); provided, however, that if the Mergers shall have not been consummated by the Outside Date, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended until July 31, 2001 (the "Extension Date") unless both parties object in writing to such extension; provided, further, however, that if the Mergers shall not have been consummated by the Extension Date as a result of any action taken, or failure to act, by any governmental or regulatory authority including, but not limited to, the withholding of, or a delay in, any approval in connection with any aspect of the transactions which are the subject of this Agreement, then the Extension Date shall automatically be extended until a date which is a reasonable time subsequent to the date upon which such governmental or regulatory action is resolved which will allow the parties to complete the procedures required to consummate the transactions which are the subject of this Agreement; and provided, further, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation pursuant to this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Mergers to occur on or before such date; or

(c) by either Western Power or E-Mobile if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity shall have issued a nonappealable final order, decree or ruling or taken any other nonappealable final action, in each case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Mergers; or

SECTION 8.3. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by E-Mobile. In order to induce Western Power to enter into and perform this Agreement, E-Mobile does hereby indemnify, protect, defend and save and hold harmless Western Power and each of its shareholders, affiliates, officers, directors, control persons, employees, attorneys, agents, partners and trustees and personal representatives of any of the foregoing ("Indemnified Parties"), from and against any loss resulting to any of them from:

(i) Any material loss, liability, cost, damage, or expense which the Indemnified Parties may suffer, sustain or incur arising out of or due to a breach by E-Mobile of any covenant, representation or warranty made in this Agreement.

(ii) Without in any manner limiting the indemnification under this Section 8.3 of this Agreement, E-Mobile shall also indemnify and save harmless each of the Indemnified Parties from any and all damages, losses, settlement, obligations, liabilities, claims, actions or causes of actions, encumbrances, fines, penalties, and costs and expenses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any Indemnified Party (including without limitation, fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, laboratories, contractors and consultants) because of, or arising out of or relating to any "Environmental Liabilities" (as defined below) in connection with E-Mobile and/or activities of E-Mobile, including, but not limited to, any land, building facilities and improvements owned or in any manner used by E-Mobile or in connection with E-Mobile and activities which occurred or arise out of an act, transaction or occurrence prior to the execution of this Agreement. For purposes of the indemnification set forth in this Section 8.3 of this Agreement, "Environmental Liabilities" shall include the cost and liabilities with respect to the presence, removal, utilization, generation, storage, transportation, disposal or treatment of any hazardous materials or any release, spill, leak, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharge, injection, escaping, leaching, dumping or disposing into the environment (air, land or water) of any Hazardous Materials, as defined under applicable state and federal environmental laws (each a "Hazardous Materials Release") including, without limitation, cleanups, remedial and response actions, remedial investigations and feasibility studies, permits

and licenses required by or undertaken in order to comply with the requirements of, any federal, state or local law, regulation agency or court, any damages for injury to person, property or natural resources, claims of governmental agencies or third parties for cleanup costs and costs of removal, discharge and satisfaction of all liens, encumbrances and restrictions of the real property, buildings and improvements owned by or used by E-Mobile relating to the foregoing. Hazardous Materials Release shall also include by means of any contamination, leaking, corrosion or rupture of or from underground or above ground storage tanks, pipes or pipelines.

(iii) The indemnification, which is set forth in this Section 8.3 of this Agreement shall be deemed to include not only the specific liabilities or obligation with respect to which such indemnity is provided, but also all reasonable costs, expenses, counsel fees, and expenses of settlement relating thereto, whether or not any such liability or obligation shall have been reduced to judgment.

(b) Indemnification by Western Power. In order to induce E-Mobile to enter into and perform this Agreement, Western Power does hereby indemnify, protect, defend and save and hold harmless E-Mobile and each of its shareholders, affiliates, officers, directors, control persons, employees, attorneys, agents, partners and trustees and personal representatives of any of the foregoing ("Indemnified Parties"), from and against any loss resulting to any of them from:

(i) Any material loss, liability, cost, damage, or expense which E-Mobile may suffer, sustain or incur arising out of or due to a breach by Western Power of any covenant, representation or warranty made in this Agreement.

(ii) Without in any manner limiting the indemnification under this Section 8.3 of this Agreement, Western Power shall also indemnify and save harmless each of the Indemnified Parties from any and all damages, losses, settlement, obligations, liabilities, claims, actions or causes of actions, encumbrances, fines, penalties, and costs and expenses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any Indemnified Party (including without limitation, fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, laboratories, contractors and consultants) because of, or arising out of or relating to any Environmental Liabilities in connection with Western Power and/or activities of Western Power, including, but not limited to, any land, building facilities and improvements owned or in any manner used by Western Power or in connection with Western Power and activities which occurred or arise out of an act, transaction or occurrence prior to the execution of this Agreement. For purposes of the indemnification set forth in this Section 8.3 of this Agreement, "Environmental Liabilities" shall include the cost and liabilities with respect to the presence, removal, utilization, generation, storage, transportation, disposal or treatment of any hazardous materials or any release, spill, leak, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharge, injection, escaping, leaching, dumping or disposing into the environment (air, land or water) of any Hazardous Materials (each a "Hazardous Materials Release") including, without limitation, cleanups, remedial and response actions, remedial investigations and feasibility studies, permits and licenses required by or undertaken in order to comply with the requirements of, any federal, state or local law, regulation agency or court, any damages for injury to person, property or natural resources, claims of governmental agencies or third parties for cleanup costs and costs of removal, discharge and satisfaction of all liens, encumbrances and restrictions of the real property, buildings and improvements owned by or used by Western Power relating to the foregoing. Hazardous Materials Release shall also include by means of any contamination, leaking, corrosion or rupture of or from underground or above ground storage tanks, pipes or pipelines.

(c) Third Party Claims. If any demand, claim, action or cause of action, suit, proceeding or investigation is brought against an Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity from the other party hereto (the "Indemnifying Party"), then the Indemnified Party within twenty-one (21) days following such Indemnified Party's receipt of such demand or claim, shall notify the Indemnifying Party which notice shall contain a reasonably thorough description of the nature and amount of the claim of indemnification (the "Claim Notice"). The Indemnifying Party shall have ten (10) days from receipt of the Claim Notice sent pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement to exercise its option to undertake, conduct and control the defense of such claim or demand. Such option to undertake, conduct and control the defense of such claim or demand shall be exercised by notifying the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement within such ten (10) day period. The failure of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of any such demand, claim, action or cause of action, suit, proceeding or investigation shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have under this Section 8.3 of this Agreement except to the extent such failure to notify the Indemnifying Party prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall use all reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of such matters. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such third party claims shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense (it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense). The Indemnified Party shall not settle any such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to control the defense of any such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to undertake, conduct and control the defense of such claim or demand; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so desires, to participate therein (it being understood that in such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to control the defense). Regardless of which party has undertaken to defend any claim, the Indemnifying Party may not without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand; provided however, that if any settlement would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree which would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party, the consent of the Indemnified Party shall be a condition to any such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.3 of this Agreement, as a condition to the Indemnifying Party either having the right to defend the subject claim, or having control over settlement as indicated in the immediately proceeding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall execute an agreement in the form which is annexed hereto as Exhibit J, acknowledging its liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3 of this Agreement. Whether the Indemnifying Party shall control and assume the defense of such claim or demand or only participate in the defense or settlement of any such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access, during normal business hours, to the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party.

(d) General. Nothing which is contained in Section 8.3 of this Agreement shall be construed as liquidated damages for any breach under this Agreement. In addition, there is no obligation to elect any remedy which is set forth in this Section 8.3 of this Agreement; moreover, resort to such remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other rights or remedies for damages or otherwise.

SECTION 8.4. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation." The phrase "made available" in this Agreement shall mean that the information referred to has been made available if requested by the party to whom such information is to be made available. The phrases "the date of this Agreement", "the date hereof," and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to November 1, 2000.

SECTION 8.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when two or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

SECTION 8.6. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and all documents and instruments referred to herein (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and (b) except as provided in Section 8.3, are not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder. Each party hereto agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, neither Western Power nor E-Mobile makes any other representations or warranties, and each hereby disclaims any other representations and warranties made by itself or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, financial and legal advisors or other representatives, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to the other or the other's representatives of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

SECTION 8.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to any applicable conflicts of law.

SECTION 8.8. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
