Shareholders hereby agree as follows:
1. THE MERGER.

1.1 Merger; Effective Time of the Merger. Subject to the terms and
------------------------------------

California (the "CCC") and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DCL"). The
Agreement of Merger provides, among other things, the mode of effecting the
Merger and the manner and basis of converting each issued and outstanding share

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Agreement of Merger
shall be filed in accordance with the CCC and the DCL on the Closing Date (as
defined in Section 1.2). The Merger shall become effective upon such filing of
the Agreement of Merger in the State of California (the date of such filing
being hereinafter referred to as the "Effective Date of the Merger" and the time
of confirmation of such filing being hereinafter referred to as the "Effective
Time of the Merger").

place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.
1.3 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time of the Merger, (a)
---------------------
the separate existence of Sub shall cease and Sub shall be merged with and into
Voyager (Sub and Voyager are sometimes referred to herein as the "Constituent
Corporations" and Voyager after the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as
the "Surviving Corporation"); (b) the Articles of Incorporation of Voyager shall
be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, except that such
Articles of Incorporation shall be amended to provide, among other things, that
the authorized capital stock of the Surviving Corporation shall be 1,000 shares
of Common Stock; (c) the Bylaws of Voyager shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation; (d) the directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be Han Yeh,
Xxxxxx Xxxx and Xxx Xxxxxxx; (e) the officers of the Surviving Corporation shall

4
shall, from and after the Effective Time of the Merger, have all the effects
provided by applicable law.
1.4 Tax-Free Reorganization. The Merger is intended to be a tax-free
-----------------------
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").
1.5 Escrow. Sixty Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty (60,830) shares of
------
PC-TEL Common Stock to be delivered to the Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.1
of this Agreement (the "Escrow Shares") shall be held in escrow as collateral
for the indemnification obligations of the Shareholders pursuant to Section 7.2
of this Agreement and the provisions of an escrow agreement ("Escrow Agreement")
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.5. The Escrow Shares shall be withheld
-----------
equally from the shares of PC-TEL Common Stock to be delivered to the
Shareholders at the Closing.
2. EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT
------------------------------------------------------------
CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
--------------------------------------
2.1 Effect on Capital Stock.
-----------------------
(a) Capital Stock of Sub. As of the Effective Time of the
--------------------
Merger, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of the holder of any shares of capital stock of Voyager,
all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Sub
shall be converted into 1,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Sub
evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to
evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the
Surviving Corporation.
(b) Cancellation of Capital Stock of Voyager.
----------------------------------------
(i) As of the Effective Time of the Merger, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any
shares of capital stock of Voyager, all shares of capital stock of Voyager that
are owned directly or indirectly by Voyager or by any entity controlled by
Voyager shall be canceled and no stock of PC-TEL or other consideration shall be
delivered in exchange therefor.
(ii) As of the Effective Time of the Merger, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any
shares of capital stock of Voyager, (A) each issued and outstanding share of
Voyager Common Stock, that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger shall automatically be canceled and extinguished
and converted into the right to receive an aggregate of Two Hundred Sixty-Seven
Thousand Six Hundred Eighty-Seven (267,687) shares of PC-TEL Common Stock, plus
Two Million Sixty-Five Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-One Dollars ($2,065,331)
(the "Merger Consideration"), to be distributed among the Shareholders as
follows: One Hundred Fifty-Four Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty-Three (154,853)
shares, plus One Million Five Hundred Sixty Five Thousand Three Hundred Eleven
Dollars ($1,565,311) to Xx. Xxxxx and One Hundred Twelve Thousand Eight Hundred
Thirty-Four (112,834) shares, plus Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) to
Xx. Xxxxxx, and (B) each Voyager Option issued and outstanding
5
prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and extinguished and
converted into the right to receive a 0.07604 (the "Exchange Ratio") share of
PC-TEL Common Stock.
2.2 Assumption of Voyager Options.
-----------------------------
(a) As of the Effective Time of the Merger, each unexpired and unexercised
option to purchase shares of Voyager Common Stock (a "Voyager Option") granted
under the stock option plans of Voyager outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be assumed by PC-TEL (an "Assumed Voyager Option").
Schedule 2.2(a) hereto sets forth a true and complete list as of the date hereof
---------------
of all holders of Voyager Options, including the number of shares of Voyager
Common Stock subject to such options, a breakdown as between vested and unvested
options, the exercise price per share and the term of such options. Each Voyager
Option so assumed by PC-TEL will continue to have, and be subject to,
substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the documents governing
such Voyager Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i)
such Assumed Voyager Option will be exercisable for that number of whole shares
of PC-TEL Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Voyager
Common Stock (on an as-converted to common stock basis) that were purchasable
under such Assumed Voyager Option immediately prior to the Effective Time
multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of
shares of PC-TEL Common Stock, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the
shares of PC-TEL Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Voyager
Option will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the exercise price per
shares of Voyager Common Stock (on an as-converted to common stock basis) at
which such Voyager Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective
Date by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Consistent
with the terms of the Voyager Options and the documents governing such Voyager
Options and provided PC-TEL assumes such Voyager Options in accordance with this
Agreement, the Shareholders represent and warrant that the Closing will not
terminate or accelerate any Assumed Voyager Option or any right of exercise,
vesting or repurchase relating thereto with respect to shares of PC-TEL Common
Stock acquired upon exercise of such Voyager Option.
2.3 Restricted Securities.
---------------------
(a) Restrictions. The PC-TEL Common Stock to be issued pursuant
------------
to Section 2.1 will be subject to restrictions imposed by applicable
federal and state securities laws.
(b) Further Limitations on Disposition. Each Shareholder agrees
----------------------------------
not to make any disposition of all or any portion of PC-TEL's Common Stock
unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of PC-TEL
to the representations of Section 3 and to be bound by the Registration Rights
Agreement, provided that this Section 2.3(b) shall not apply to any disposition
of all or any portion of PC-TEL's Common Stock:
(i) If there is then in effect a registration statement
under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such registration statement; or
(ii) (A) If such Shareholder shall have notified PC-TEL of
the proposed disposition and shall have furnished PC-TEL with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (B) if
reasonably requested by PC-TEL,
6
such Shareholder shall have furnished PC-TEL with an opinion of counsel,
reasonably satisfactory to PC-TEL that such disposition will not require
registration of such shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). It is agreed that PC-TEL will not require opinions of counsel
for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this Section 2.3(b), in
-------- -------
no event shall PC-TEL Common Stock be transferred to any entity (or any
affiliate thereof) which is engaged in the development, marketing or sale of
products that are, in PC-TEL's judgment, the same or similar to those of PC-TEL,
and any such attempted transfer shall be void ab initio.
(c) Legends. It is understood that the certificates
-------
representing PC-TEL Common Stock will bear legends describing certain of
the applicable restrictions on transferability referred to in this Section
2.3, including the following legend:
"These securities have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale,
pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement
in effect with respect to the securities under such Act or an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the company that such
registration is not required or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144
of such Act".
Related stop-transfer instructions will be placed on PC-TEL Common Stock by PC-
TEL or its duly appointed transfer agent.
(d) Limitations on Disposition of Xx. Xxxxxx'x Shares. Eighty-
-------------------------------------------------
Four Thousand Six Hundred Twenty-Five (84,625) shares of PC-TEL Common Stock to
be delivered to Xx. Xxxxxx pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement, shall be
subject to the restrictions and obligation of Xx. Xxxxxx pursuant to Section 8
of this Agreement and the provisions of a letter of instruction ("Transfer Agent
Instructions") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3(d).
--------------
2.4 Surrender and Exchange of Voyager Common Stock and Voyager
----------------------------------------------------------
Options.
-------
(a) The conversion of shares of Voyager Common Stock into PC-TEL
Common Stock and cash as provided for by this Agreement and the Agreement of
Merger shall occur automatically at the Effective Time without further action by
the holders thereof. Each Shareholder shall, on the Closing Date, surrender all
of such holder's certificate(s) that prior to the Effective Time represented
shares of Voyager Common Stock to PC-TEL and upon such surrender such holder
shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or certificates
representing the PC-TEL Common Stock into which such shares have been converted
and cash, as applicable, less any shares to be held in escrow pursuant to
Section 1.5 and any shares to be held by the Transfer Agent pursuant to Section
8.
(b) The assumption of outstanding Voyager Options by PC-TEL and
their conversion into options to purchase shares of PC-TEL Common Stock as
provided in Section 2.2 hereof shall occur automatically at the Effective Time
without further action on the part of the holders thereof. As soon as
practicable after the Effective Time, PC-TEL shall issue to each holder of an
assumed Voyager Option a document that evidences PC-TEL's assumption of such
option. The right to receive an Assumed Voyager Option may not be assigned or
transferred, except to the
7
extent the predecessor Voyager Option was assignable or transferable. Any
attempted assignment contrary to this Section 2.4 shall be null and void.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF VOYAGER AND THE SHAREHOLDERS.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Except as set forth in a letter specifically referring to a subsection of
this Section 3 of this Agreement (the "Disclosure Letter") delivered by Voyager
and the Shareholders to PC-TEL, each of Voyager and the Shareholders, jointly
and severally, represent and warrant to PC-TEL and Sub that the representations
and warranties set forth below shall be true and correct as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing.
3.1 Organization of Voyager. Voyager is a corporation duly organized,
-----------------------
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
incorporation and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify
would have a material adverse effect on Voyager. Voyager has delivered to PC-TEL
complete and accurate copies of its current Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws, and minutes of all of its directors' and shareholders' meetings.
3.2 Authorization of Transaction. Voyager and the Shareholders have
----------------------------
full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and any other
agreements related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to
perform their obligations hereunder. This Agreement, the Agreement of Merger,
the Registration Rights Agreement and the Escrow Agreement have each been
executed and delivered by the Shareholders and Voyager, as applicable, and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholders and
Voyager, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their terms and
conditions, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws and equitable
principles relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally.
3.3 Stock. The authorized capital stock of Voyager consists of Twenty
-----
Million (20,000,000) shares of Common Stock, of which Four Million (4,000,000)
shares are issued and outstanding on the date hereof. Shareholders beneficially
and of record own all of the shares of capital stock of Voyager outstanding. As
of the date hereof, there were Six Hundred Forty-Five Thousand One Hundred
Fifty-Seven (645,157) shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the
exercise of the Voyager Options. Except for the Voyager Options there are no
outstanding contracts or other rights to subscribe for or purchase, or contracts
or other obligations to issue or grant any rights to acquire, any equity
securities of Voyager, or to restructure or recapitalize Voyager. All
outstanding equity securities of Voyager are duly authorized, validly issued and
outstanding and are fully paid and nonassessable, and were issued in compliance
with all applicable federal and state securities laws. There are no preemptive
rights in respect of any equity securities of Voyager. All of Voyager's
incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code have been issued in
compliance with all laws, rules and regulations necessary to preserve such
incentive stock option treatment. None of the issued and outstanding shares of
Voyager Common Stock is subject to repurchase or redemption. All Voyager options
have been issued in accordance with Voyager's stock option plans and all state
securities laws. The Voyager stock option plans and all amendments thereto have
been approved by all requisite Voyager shareholder action. Voyager does not have
in effect any stock appreciation rights plan and no stock appreciation rights
are currently outstanding. The
8
consummation of the Merger shall not cause an acceleration in the vesting or
lapse of any restriction or right of any of Voyager's securities.
3.4 Noncontravention. Neither the execution and the delivery of this
----------------
Agreement, the Agreement of Merger or any other agreements related to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will (i) violate any statute,
regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge or other
restriction of any government, governmental agency or court to which Voyager or
the Shareholders are subject or any provision of the charter or bylaws of
Voyager or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default
under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to
accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, or require any notice under any
agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, lien, security interest or
other arrangement to which Voyager or Shareholders are a party or by which it or
they are bound or to which any of its or their assets is subject except where
such violation, conflict, breach, default, acceleration, termination,
modification, cancellation, failure to give notice or security interest would
not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Shareholders to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Voyager does not
need to give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization,
consent or approval of any government or governmental agency in order for the
parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.5 Brokers' Fees. Neither Voyager nor the Shareholders has any
-------------
liability to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or agent with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the PC-TEL
could become liable or obligated.
3.6 Financial Statements. (a) Voyager has delivered to PC-TEL
--------------------
correct and complete copies of its accounting records, which were used by
Voyager and PC-TEL in the joint preparation of Voyagers' financial statements
(the "Financial Statements"). The Shareholders and Voyager agree that the

and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods thereof.
(b) There are no debts, liabilities or claims against Voyager that
have not been disclosed by Voyager or the Shareholders to PC-TEL, contingent or
otherwise. The provision for taxes of Voyager as set forth in its Financial
Statements is adequate and accurate for taxes due or accrued as of such dates.
(c) All of the accounts receivable and notes receivable owing to
Voyager as of January 26, 2000 have been disclosed to PC-TEL and constitute,
valid and enforceable claims arising from bona fide transactions in the ordinary

--------------------------
material respects with all applicable laws (including rules, regulations, codes,
plans, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings and charges thereunder)
of federal, state, local and foreign governments (and all agencies thereof) and
no action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim,
demand or notice has been filed or commenced against Voyager alleging any

warranties, covenants, and agreements of Voyager and the Shareholders, and PC-

(A) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent at any time on or before
the last day of the Escrow Period of a certificate signed by any officer of PC-
TEL (an "Officer's Certificate") (1) stating that PC-TEL or the Surviving
---------------------
Corporation has paid or properly accrued or reasonably anticipates that it will
have to pay Losses pursuant to Claims made during the Escrow Period in an
aggregate stated amount to which PC-TEL or the Surviving Corporation is entitled
to indemnity pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) specifying in reasonable detail
the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each
such item was paid or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated
liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or claim
to which such item is related, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to PC-TEL out of
the Escrow Account, as promptly as practicable, an amount equal to the lesser
of: (a) the number of the Escrow Shares (in whole shares) that have an aggregate
market value, based on the average closing prices of PC-TEL's Common Stock as
quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
System National Market for the five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the
expiration of the thirty (30) day period after delivery of the Officer's
Certificate to the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that in the event the Escrow
-------- -------
Agent receives written authorization from the Shareholders to make delivery out
of the Escrow Account prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period,
the aggregate market value shall be based on the average closing prices of PC-
TEL's Common Stock as quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System National Market for the five (5) consecutive trading
days prior to the date of receipt by the Escrow Agent of such written
authorization from the Shareholders, most nearly equal to the amount of the
Losses, or (b) all of the Escrow Shares; provided, however, that (i) with
-----------------
respect to Losses resulting from events set forth in Section 7.2(a)(i) and (ii),
the aggregate number of Escrow Shares that may be delivered to PC-TEL pursuant
to this Section 7.2(b)(iii) shall be no greater than fifty percent (50%) of the
Escrow Shares and (ii) with respect to Losses resulting from events set forth in
Section 7.2(a)(iii), the aggregate number of Escrow Shares that may be delivered
to PC-TEL pursuant to this Section 7.2(b)(iii) shall be no greater than an
additional fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Shares; provided, further, that
-------- -------
with respect to Losses PC-TEL or the Surviving Corporation reasonably
anticipates it will have to pay, pursuant to claims made during the Escrow
Period, Escrow Shares shall not be delivered to PC-TEL by the Escrow Agent until
such time as PC-TEL or the Surviving Corporation actually must pay such Losses.
Subject to the procedures set forth in Section 7.2(b)(iii)(B) below, the Escrow
Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Officer's Certificate and
shall make such distributions from the Escrow Account only in accordance with
the terms thereof.
(B) At the time of delivery of any Officer's Certificate to
the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such Officer's Certificate shall be
delivered to the Shareholders by PC-TEL and for a period of thirty (30) days
after delivery of the Officer's Certificate to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow
Agent shall make no delivery of the shares from the Escrow Account pursuant to
this Section 7.2 unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written
authorization from the Shareholders to make such delivery. After the expiration
of such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent shall, without further notice
or authorization of any kind, make delivery of the amount of Losses from the
Escrow Account in accordance with Section 7.2(a) above, provided that, except
with respect to Claims arising from events set forth in Section 7.2(a)(iii), no
such delivery shall be made if the Shareholders deliver written notice to the
19
Escrow Agent and to PC-TEL prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day
period that the Shareholders dispute in good faith the Claim set forth in the
Officer's Certificate, with the basis for such dispute set forth in reasonable
detail.
(iv) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.
------------------------------------
(A) In case the Shareholders shall object in writing
to any claim made in any Officer's Certificate as described in Section
7.2(b)(iii) ("Claim"), PC-TEL shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a
-----
written statement to the Shareholders and the Escrow Agent. If after such thirty
(30) day period there remains a dispute as to any Claim, the Shareholders and
PC-TEL shall attempt in good faith for sixty (60) days to agree upon the rights
of the respective parties with respect to each of such Claim. If the
Shareholders and PC-TEL should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such
agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and shall be furnished to
the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any
such memorandum and shall make the distributions from the Escrow Account as
promptly as practicable only in accordance with the terms thereof or of the
Escrow Agreement.
(B) If no such agreement can be reached, either PC-
TEL or the Shareholders may, by written notice to the other, have an arbitrator
appointed by the American Arbitration Association, unless the amount of the
damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which
event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or
both parties agree to arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator as to the
validity and amount of any Losses shall be binding and conclusive upon the
parties to this Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in
accordance with such decision and make or withhold delivery out of the Escrow
Account in accordance therewith. Judgment upon any award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration
shall be held in Santa Xxxx, California under the commercial rules then in
effect of the American Arbitration Association. Through the Escrow Account or
otherwise, the arbitrator may apportion among the parties the expenses of the
parties, including without limitation, attorneys fees and costs, fees of the
arbitrator, the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association, and
the expenses incurred by the other party to the arbitration.
(c) Third Party Claims. In the event PC-TEL
------------------
becomes aware of a third-party claim which PC-TEL believes may result in a
demand against the Escrow Account, PC-TEL shall notify the Shareholders of such
claim, and the Shareholders shall be entitled, at their own expense, to
participate in any defense of such claim. PC-TEL shall have the right in its
sole discretion to control the defense, settlement, compromise or other
disposition of any such claim, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the
Shareholders, and the Shareholders shall cooperate with PC-TEL in any such
defense, including, without limitation, by revealing all information pertinent
thereto within their control other than attorney-client privileged
communications. The costs of defense of any third party action or claim or any
settlement or compromise thereof shall be paid from the Escrow Shares. PC-TEL
shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of the Shareholders to any good
faith settlement or disposition of any claim under this Section 7.2(C);
provided, however, that the Shareholders shall retain the power and authority to
object to the amount of any withdrawal by PC-TEL against the Escrow Account for
indemnity with respect to such settlement or disposition, which objection shall
be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section
7.2(b)(iv).

---- ------
Shareholders directly or indirectly, as a result of (i) any inaccuracy or breach
of a representation or warranty of PC-TEL contained in this Agreement or in any
instrument or certificate executed and delivered by PC-TEL to the Shareholders
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) any
failure by PC-TEL to perform or comply with any covenant contained in this
