the issued and outstanding common stock of DIEGOTEL, POWERTEL shall forthwith
tender to the escrow agent an amount of the issued and outstanding Class A
Common Stock of POWERTEL such that the escrow agent will hold Thirty-Five (35%)

settlements of any claims (except those of the disputed class) issues additional
Class A Common Stock or effects a reverse stock split at any time before the
tenth day following the Effective Date of the Plan of Reorganization, then the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the escrow agent shall be
adjusted to Thirty-Five 35.0% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock
of POWERTEL subsequent to implementation of the Plan of Reorganization and
distribution to XXXXXXX on a pro rata basis.
2.2 Escrow of POWERTEL Class A Common Stock and Post CONFIRMATION
Adjustment of Purchase Price. Because XXXXXXX has made certain representations
to POWERTEL respecting the business affairs of DIEGOTEL and its future financial
performance XXXXXXX agrees as follows:
4
a) The Class A Common Stock of POWERTEL to be issued pursuant
to Section 2.1 of this AGREEMENT shall be held in escrow as provided in Section
2.2(d) for up to a thirty month term after the Distribution Date in POWERTEL'S
Plan.
b) The Class A Common Stock held in escrow shall be restricted
stock pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and shall be separated into 10
equal allotments, each of which shall be referred to as a 10 percent allotment.
The escrow agent shall release a 10 percent allotment at the end of the month in
which POWERTEL receives telecommunications revenue in excess of $100,000. The
escrow agent shall release an additional 10 percent allotment for each
additional incremental increase of $100,000 of telecommunications revenue more
than the month before. The 10 percent allotments shall be distributed to XXXXXXX
at no more than monthly intervals. To receive all ten allotments, POWERTEL must
receive telecommunications revenue in excess of 4.5 million dollars within
thirty months after the Distribution Date in POWERTEL'S Plan.
c) If shares remain in the escrow at the end of thirty months,
than the escrow shall release the remaining shares within 30 days. In no event
shall the escrow agent return the unissued shares to POWERTEL if the
telecommunications revenue exceeds 4.5 million dollars. If the total
telecommunications revenue is less that 4.5 million dollars then the remaining
shares shall be distributed on a pro rata basis among XXXXXXX and POWERTEL based
upon a formula for distribution set forth in Section 2.2.
d) All stock and transfer ledgers to be exchanged pursuant to

Plan of Reorganization is not confirmed, or (c) POWERTEL elects to terminate
this AGREEMENT, this AGREEMENT shall be deemed to be null and void and the
Escrow Agent shall return the stock to the grantor from whom it was received,
otherwise the stock shall be exchanged and distributed by the Escrow Agent
pursuant to the terms of this AGREEMENT.
e) During the period of time that the stock is held in escrow,
POWERTEL shall have full power to vote all shares in escrow.
