COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into
as of August 31, 2000, by and between OmniSky Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and America Online, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Purchaser").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to purchase shares of the Company's
common stock ("Common Stock") in a private placement to close concurrently with,
but not before, the closing of the initial public offering of the Company's
common stock (the "IPO") pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") (such
registration statement, as amended, shall be referred to herein as the
"Registration Statement"); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell the Shares (as defined
below) to the Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the
mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE
1.1. AUTHORIZATION OF SHARES. On or prior to the Closing (as defined in
Section 2 below), the Company shall have authorized the sale and issuance to the
Purchaser of the Shares. Prior to the Closing, the Company will have adopted and
filed a Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware authorizing sufficient shares of
Common Stock to cover the sale and issuance of the Shares to be purchased
hereunder.
1.2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Purchaser
and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, at the Closing, that
whole number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient determined by
dividing $5 million by the per share Price to Public (as defined below) and
rounding down to the nearest whole number. The shares of Common Stock to be
purchased hereunder are referred to as the "Shares". The per share purchase
price for the Shares purchased hereunder shall be the per share Price to Public.
The "Purchase Price" shall be equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the
Shares by the per share Price to Public.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Price to Public" shall mean
the Price to Public set forth on the cover page of the final Prospectus (as
defined below), less the underwriting discounts and commissions per share as set
forth on the cover page of the final Prospectus. For purposes of this Agreement,
the term "Prospectus" means the prospectus, as amended, on file with the
Commission at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective, including
the information deemed to be part of the Registration at the time of
effectiveness pursuant to Rule
3
430A, if applicable, except that if the Prospectus filed by the Company pursuant
to Rule 424(b) differs from the prospectus on file at the time the Registration
Statement becomes effective, the term "Prospectus" shall refer to the Rule
424(b) Prospectus from and after the time it was filed with the Commission or
transmitted to the Commission for filing.
1.3. XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXX COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding anything else in this
Agreement, if the sale and issuance of the Shares is subject to the premerger
notification requirements of the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), it shall be a condition to the Closing that
any waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the purchase of the Shares
shall have expired or been terminated and any approvals required thereunder
shall have been obtained, and the parties shall cooperate in promptly filing
premerger reports and in taking all steps reasonably necessary to obtain early
termination of any applicable HSR Act waiting periods. If any such waiting
period shall not have expired or been subject to early termination on or before
the date ninety (90) days from the date of this Agreement, either party may
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other.
2. CLOSING, DELIVERY AND PAYMENT
Subject to the terms of Section 5, the closing of the sale and purchase
of the Shares under this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place concurrently
with, but not before, the closing of the IPO at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, Professional Corporation, 000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx 00000. The date of the Closing is referred to as the "Closing Date."
At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company will
deliver to the Purchaser a certificate representing the number of Shares to be
purchased at the Closing against payment in immediately available funds by or on
behalf of the Purchaser of the Purchase Price in cash, by wire transfer or by
such other means as shall be mutually agreeable to the Purchaser and the
Company.

Purchaser, the Company hereby delivers this Schedule of Exceptions to the
representations and warranties of the Company given in the Agreement. Each
section number in this Schedule of Exceptions corresponds to the section numbers
in the Agreement; however, any information disclosed herein under any section
number shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated in any other section

AT&T Corporation, a New York corporation; AT&T Wireless Services, Inc., a
Delaware corporation; OmniSky Corporation, a Delaware corporation; TWBA
Chiat/Day, a Delaware corporation; and Does I-XX, inclusive." The complaint

and we have examined originals or copies of the following:
(a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the
"Certificate");

As used in this opinion, the expressions "to our knowledge," "known to
us," and "of which we are aware" with reference to matters of fact means that,
after an examination of documents made available to us by the Company and after
inquiries of officers of the Company, we find no reason to believe that the
opinions expressed herein are factually incorrect. Further, the expressions "to
our knowledge," "known to us," "of which we are aware" or similar language with
reference to matters of fact refers to the current actual knowledge of the
attorneys of this firm who have worked on matters for the Company solely in
connection with the Purchase Agreement. We have not undertaken any independent
investigation to determine the existence or absence of any fact, and no
inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should be
drawn from our representation of the Company or the rendering of the opinions
set forth below.
For purposes of this opinion, we are assuming that each party (other
than the Company) to the Purchase Agreement has all requisite power and
authority, and has taken any and all necessary corporate or partnership action,
to execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement to which it is a party and to
effect any and all transactions related or contemplated thereby, and that each
of you duly and validly executed and delivered the Purchase Agreement. We are
also assuming that the representations and warranties made by the Purchaser and
the Company under the Purchase Agreement are true and correct, and that the
Purchaser has purchased the Shares for value, in good faith and without notice
of adverse claims within the meaning of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code.
The opinions, hereinafter expressed are subject to the following
additional exceptions, qualifications, limitations and assumptions:
We express no opinion as to (i) the effect of applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, conservatorship, readjustment of debt,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors or (ii) the
provisions of the Purchase Agreement relating to indemnity or contribution.
We express no opinion as to the effect of rules of law governing
specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies (regardless
of whether any such remedy is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) or
as to the effects of public policy on the enforceability of any provision of any
agreement.
We express no opinion as to compliance with applicable anti-fraud
provisions of federal or state securities laws.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original documents,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity
to original documents of all copies submitted to us as copies thereof, the legal
capacity of natural persons, and the due execution and delivery of all documents
(except as to due execution and delivery by the Company) where due execution and
delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof.

Our opinion set forth in paragraph 1 below is based solely on the
certificate referenced above as to the legal existence and corporate and tax
good standing of the Company in the state of Delaware.
This opinion is subject to the effect of statutes, principles of equity
and court decisions providing (i) that certain covenants and provisions of
agreements are unenforceable where enforcement of such covenants or provisions
under the circumstances would violate the enforcing party's implied covenant of
good faith and fair dealing and (ii) that a court may refuse to enforce, or may
limit the application of, a contract or any clause thereof that the court finds
to be unconscionable or contrary to public policy.
We have not reviewed, and express no opinion on, (i) financial covenants
or similar provisions requiring financial calculations or determinations to
ascertain whether there is any such conflict, (ii) provisions relating to the
occurrence of a "material adverse event" or words of similar import or (iii)
parol evidence bearing on interpretation or construction.
The opinions expressed herein are limited in all respects to existing
laws, rules and regulations of the State of California, the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the "DGCL") and applicable United
States federal laws, rules and regulations. Furthermore, we have made no inquiry
into, and express no opinion with respect to, any federal or state statute, rule
or regulation relating to any tax, antitrust, land use, safety, environmental,
hazardous material, patent, copyright, trademark or trade name matter, as to the
statutes, regulations, treaties or common laws of any other nation, state or
jurisdiction, or the effect on the transactions contemplated in the Purchase
Agreement of noncompliance under any such statutes, regulations, treaties or
common laws. We further disclaim any opinion as to any statute, rule,
regulation, ordinance, order or other promulgation of any regional or local
governmental body or as to any related judicial or administrative opinion.
Our opinions relate solely to the express provisions of the Purchase
Agreement and the exhibits referred to therein and attached thereto and we
express no opinion as to any other oral or written agreements or understandings
between the Company or the Purchaser.
Provisions of the Purchase Agreement requiring that waivers must be in
writing may not be binding or enforceable if a non-executory oral agreement has
been created modifying any such provision or an implied agreement by trade
practice or course of conduct has given rise to a waiver.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject in all respects to
the disclosure on the Schedule of Exceptions attached to the Purchase Agreement,
we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the requisite
corporate power and authority to own the properties and assets owned by it and
to carry on its business as presently conducted.
2. The Company has all requisite legal and corporate power and authority to
execute and

deliver the Purchase Agreement, to sell and issue the shares of Common Stock to
the Purchaser as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and to carry out and
perform its obligations under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
3. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 200,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, ____________ of which are issued and outstanding, and 10,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, none of which is outstanding. All issued and
outstanding shares have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with the registration and
qualifications requirements of all applicable securities laws. Upon the
issuance, sale, and delivery for the consideration stated in the Purchase
Agreement, the shares of Common Stock being issued and sold to the Purchaser on
the date hereof shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable, shall have been issued in compliance with the registration or
qualification requirements of all applicable securities laws (but excluding
jurisdictions outside the United States); provided, however, that the shares of
Common Stock may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or
federal securities laws. To our knowledge, except for rights described in the
Purchase Agreement (including the Schedule of Exceptions) or in the Prospectus
or the Certificate, there are no other options, warrants, conversion privileges
or other rights presently outstanding to purchase or otherwise acquire any
authorized but unissued shares of capital stock or other securities of the
Company, or any other agreements to issue any such securities or rights.
4. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and
stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and
performance of the Purchase Agreement by the Company, and the authorization,
sale, issuance and delivery of the Common Stock to the Purchaser pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement and the Certificate, and the performance of the Company's
obligations under the Purchase Agreement has been taken. The Purchase Agreement,
when executed and delivered by the parties thereto, shall constitute a valid and
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms.
5. The execution, delivery and performance of the terms of the Purchase
Agreement and the issuance of the Common Stock to the Purchaser pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement do not violate (i) any provision of the Company's Certificate
or Bylaws, or (ii) to our knowledge, any law, statute, rule or regulation of the
United States or the State of California.
6. Subject to the accuracy of the Purchaser's representations in Section 4 of
the Purchase Agreement, we are of the opinion that the offer, sale and issuance
of the Common Stock to the Purchaser in conformity with the terms of the
Purchase Agreement and the Certificate constitute transactions exempt from the
registration and qualification requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, the laws of the State of California, and the DGCL.
