WHEREAS, e-Mobile, Holdings and WPEC entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization and Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated November 1, 2000.

that it is in the best interest of each to terminate the Merger Agreement and
the Merger; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Termination of Merger Agreement. e-Mobile, Holdings and WPEC hereby
mutually consent to the termination (the "Termination") of the Merger Agreement
effective as of the Termination Date (as defined below).

at such time and place as the parties hereto shall agree (the "Termination
Date").
B. At the closing, e-Mobile and Holdings shall deliver to WPEC,
certificates evidencing the Termination Fee Shares and a Release in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit "A". WPEC agrees and understands that the shares

shares and that such shares may have to be held for an indefinite period of
time.
C. At the closing WPEC shall deliver to e-Mobile and Holdings a
Release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
4. Registration of the Termination Fee Shares. If the Company shall
at any time seek to register or qualify any of its capital stock or the
securities holdings of any of its shareholders, on each such occasion it shall
furnish WPEC with at least 30 days' written notice thereof and WPEC shall have
the option, without cost or expense, to include all of the shares

qualification. WPEC shall exercise the "piggy back rights" under this Article
"4" of this Agreement by giving written notice to the Company within twenty (20)
days after receipt of the written notice from the Company.
5. Lock-Up of the Termination Fee Shares. For a period beginning on
the date hereof and ending on the earlier of ninety (90) days following the
closing of an underwritten public offering of common stock by e-Mobile, eighty
percent (80%) of the aggregate of the Termination Fee Shares shall be subject to
a lock-up agreement pursuant to which WPEC agrees that it will not sell,
hypothecate or otherwise transfer of any such shares, except pursuant to an
available exemption from the Securities laws.
6. Restrictions on Future Share Issuances. e-Mobile agrees that, for a
period of one year from the Termination Date, without the prior written consent
of WPEC (a) it will not sell any shares of common stock at a price less than
$1.00 per share, and (b) it will sell no more than eight million (8,000,000)
shares of common stock at a price equal to or greater than $1.00 per share and
less than $2.00 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company retains

necessary to more fully fulfill the terms and intent of this Agreement.

enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by e-Mobile, Holdings and WPEC and the

prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney fees.

E. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subsection, or section of
this Agreement be judicially declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such
decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of
this Agreement, and the parties hereto agree that the part or parts of this
Agreement so held by invalid, unenforceable or void will be deemed to have been
stricken herefrom by the parties hereto and the remainder will have the same
force and effectiveness as if such stricken part or parts had never been
included herein.

with regard to the subject matter of this Agreement and replaces and supersedes
