                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
   
     The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in
this Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this Prospectus
assumes the Underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised and gives
retroactive effect to a 643-for-1 stock split effected in June 1998. All
references to fiscal years, unless otherwise noted, refer to the Company's
fiscal year which ends on April 30 of each year. The Company was incorporated in
Texas in 1983. In December 1995, a subsidiary of the Company merged (the
"Merger") with Bear Communications, Inc. ("Bear Communications"). Unless the
context otherwise requires, all references to "BearCom" shall include the
operations of the Company's direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Bear
Communications, BearCom Operating, L.P. and their subsidiaries. On March 31,
1998, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Condor Holdings, Inc. ("Condor
Holdings"), acquired substantially all of the assets of Condor Communications,
Inc. ("Condor Communications"). The foregoing transaction is referred to herein
as the "Condor Acquisition." Unless the context otherwise requires, all
references to "Condor" shall include Condor Communications (prior to the Condor
Acquisition), Condor Holdings (following the Condor Acquisition), Condor's fifty
percent interest in Condor Telecommunicationes, C.A., a corporation incorporated
under the laws of Venezuela, which operates Condor's Caracas, Venezuela
distribution sales office, and the entities that operate Condor's Prague, Czech
Republic distribution sales office. As of the date hereof, the Company is
awaiting regulatory approval in the Czech Republic with respect to the
acquisition of those entities. Based on the advice of foreign counsel, the
Company believes regulatory approval will be obtained. All references herein to
"BearCom Group" or the "Company" shall include the combined operations of
BearCom Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including BearCom and Condor.
    
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
   
     The Company believes that it is the largest independent distributor of
two-way radios in the world with leading positions in the field sales, catalog
sales, export sales and rental segments of the market. The Company sells,
services and rents a broad line of two-way radios manufactured by industry
leaders including Motorola, Maxon, Icom and Tekk, which are used to communicate
within a limited geographic area without incurring airtime or subscriber
charges. In the United States, the Company's diverse customer base consists
primarily of businesses and organizations across a wide variety of industries,
whereas internationally the Company's customers generally are dealers which, in
turn, sell to similar end users. In addition to its two-way radio product line,
the Company sells complementary wireless communication and related products and
services, including Orbacom console systems, Motorola messaging systems, Nextel
handsets and services and PageMart pagers and services. See
"Business -- Purchasing."
    
 
   
     Through BearCom, the Company markets its products and services through 32
field offices in the United States and two in Australia and through its catalog
operations throughout the United States. In addition, through Condor, the
Company exports its products and services through its distribution offices in
Miami, Florida, Caracas, Venezuela and Prague, Czech Republic. The Company
believes that it is the only significant distributor of two-way radios
leveraging the strengths of these multiple channels of distribution. Through its
field offices, BearCom provides technical assistance for customers requiring
on-site evaluation of their communications needs. For customers not requiring
this consultative approach (usually when system needs are relatively
uncomplicated or purchases are add-on or replacement units to an existing
system), the catalog marketing channel provides an efficient and convenient
method of purchasing products. During fiscal 1998, BearCom mailed more than 5.7
million catalogs and marketing pieces and processed in excess of 182,000
customer orders. Most orders are processed and shipped on the same day they are
received. The Company uses sophisticated information systems and proprietary
software to monitor and refine its customer database, catalog mailings and
inventory levels. In addition, the Company has a fleet of over 15,000 two-way
radios for rent, which are used in connection with sporting events, conventions,
disaster recovery projects, motion picture productions and other events. The
Company believes that it is the largest renter of two-way radios in the United
States.
    
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   5
 
     While the Company is not aware of any definitive industry data, the Company
believes that the market for the sale, rental and service of two-way radios and
related products is in excess of $5 billion per year in the United States and an
additional $5 billion per year outside the United States. The independent
distribution of two-way radios is a highly fragmented industry, with thousands
of local and regional independent dealers. The manufacturing of two-way radios,
however, is dominated by a small number of companies, each of which has
developed a network of authorized dealers to augment their internal direct sales
forces. These authorized dealer networks typically comprise several local
dealerships within a given metropolitan area each generating less than $5
million in sales. Over the past ten years, manufacturers have strategically
reduced the size of their direct sales forces, increasingly relying on
independent authorized dealers. The Company believes that an increasing
percentage of two-way radio products will continue to be sold through
independent dealers as manufacturers continue to outsource distribution and
other non-core functions. At the same time, the Company believes manufacturers
are limiting their authorized dealer relationships to fewer, but larger
organizations. The Company believes that these industry fundamentals and
outsourcing trends will lead to a consolidation of independent dealers and that
as the largest independent dealer worldwide it is well positioned to continue to
acquire local authorized dealers and expand its international presence and
market share.
 
   
     From fiscal 1993 through fiscal 1997, the Company's revenues grew,
primarily as a result of internal growth and the opening of nine new sales
offices, from $37.9 million to $69.6 million, representing a compound annual
growth rate of approximately 16%. Since August 1996, the Company has accelerated
its growth through the acquisition of the operations of 14 independent dealers,
a majority of the assets of Motorola's Radio Products Group rentals business and
substantially all of the assets of Condor. As a result, revenues for fiscal 1998
were $96.5 million, a 39% increase from revenues generated during fiscal 1997.
On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the Condor Acquisition and the Other
Acquisitions (as defined below under "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Income"), the Company's revenues were $149.1 million for fiscal
1998. The Company intends to make additional acquisitions to establish a
presence in new geographic areas and to enhance its presence in existing
markets. In pursuing such acquisitions, the Company typically seeks to gain
access to the acquired dealer's skills, experience and customer relationships,
while consolidating its fulfillment operations into existing facilities.
    
 
     The Company's objective is to expand its position as the largest
independent distributor of two-way radios and related products in the world and
be the leading independent distributor in each market in which it serves. The
Company's strategy is to further develop its network of field offices by opening
and acquiring local operations, expand and enhance its catalog and export
operations, leverage its complementary distribution channels by expanding its
product and service offerings, and support such operations with rapid order
fulfillment and superior customer service and technical support. The Company
seeks to capitalize on its experience and reputation derived from more than 15
years of selling and marketing two-way radio products in executing its strategy
and addressing its market opportunity.
 
                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
   
     On March 31, 1998, the Company completed the Condor Acquisition. Condor
reported revenues of $50.7 million during its fiscal year ended December 31,
1997. The Condor Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.
    
 
   
     Based in Miami, Florida, Condor is a leading exporter of two-way radio
communication equipment and communication systems primarily to Latin America,
Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. In addition to its Miami office,
Condor maintains distribution sales offices in Caracas, Venezuela and Prague,
Czech Republic. Condor exports primarily Motorola two-way radio products.
Virtually all of Condor's sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Condor
Acquisition provides the Company an operational platform from which it can
expand its international operations. The Company's strategy is to expand its
international operations by establishing additional sales offices and offering
additional products and services. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Condor," "Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income" and the historical combined
financial statements of Condor included elsewhere herein.

    EBITDA is a measure commonly used in the wireless communication industry by
    financial analysts, investors and other interested parties for measuring and
    comparing financial information such as liquidity, operating performance and
    leverage. EBITDA is not a measure of cash flow, operating results or
    liquidity, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles, and differs from net cash provided by operating activities as
    determined under generally accepted accounting principles in that it
    excludes significant components useful in understanding and assessing the
    Company's financial performance. EBITDA should not be considered in
    isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or
    cash flows provided by operations. EBITDA amounts shown for the Company may
    not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported for other companies
    as such calculations may not be made on the same basis.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     This Prospectus contains forward looking statements. The words
"anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "project,"
"will," "could," "may" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward
looking statements. Such statements reflect the Company's current views with
respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and
uncertainties, including, without limitation, the risks described in this
section. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially and
adversely from those anticipated, believed, expected, planned, intended,
estimated, projected or otherwise indicated. In addition to the other
information contained in this Prospectus, prospective investors should carefully
consider the following risk factors before making an investment in the Common
Stock offered hereby.
 
NO ASSURANCE OF GROWTH
 
   
     In recent years, the Company has rapidly expanded its operations, growing
from total revenues of $37.9 million in fiscal 1993 to $96.5 million in fiscal
1998. The Company plans to seek continued growth of its business by increasing
sales in its existing offices and catalog operations, through strategic
acquisitions and by opening new offices. There can be no assurance, however,
that the Company will continue to grow or will be able to successfully implement
any of these growth strategies.
    
 
     To successfully implement its growth strategies, the Company must
continually evaluate the adequacy of its existing systems and procedures,
including, among others, its data processing, financial and internal control
systems and management structure. There can be no assurance that the Company
will adequately anticipate all of the changing demands that growth will impose
on the Company's systems, procedures and structure. Any failure to adequately
anticipate and respond to such changing demands is likely to have a material
adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company anticipates that
acquiring or opening offices will involve a number of possible risks and
challenges, including the diffusion of managements attention, the dependence on
hiring, training and retaining key personnel, and unanticipated problems or
liabilities, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company. See "Business -- Growth Strategy."
 
ACQUISITION RISKS; BUSINESS INTEGRATION RISKS
 
   
     Since August 1996, the Company has acquired the stock or assets of 14
independent dealers of two-way radios and other wireless communication products,
a majority of the assets of Motorola's Radio Products Group rentals business and
substantially all of the assets of Condor Communications, Inc. The Company
intends to seek continued growth of its business through future strategic
acquisitions. The Company is currently evaluating certain strategic
acquisitions; however, the Company has no binding commitment to acquire any
business or other material assets. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to identify future attractive acquisition candidates or complete
the acquisition of any candidates on terms favorable to the Company. Growth
through strategic acquisitions involves numerous risks, including difficulties
in the integration of the operations, systems and personnel, including key
management, of acquired businesses and the diversion of management's attention
from other business concerns. In the event that the Company acquires businesses,
the employees of which are parties to collective bargaining agreements, the
Company would be subject to risks inherent in such arrangements, including
strikes or work stoppages. There can be no assurance that any acquired
businesses, including Condor, can be successfully integrated into the Company's
business. A substantial portion of the Company's capital resources, including a
portion of the proceeds of the Offering, could be used for acquisitions. The
Company may require additional debt or equity financing for future acquisitions,
which additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the
Company, if at all. See "Business -- Growth Strategy."
    
 
DEPENDENCE ON VENDOR
 
   
     The sale of products by the Company that were purchased from the Company's
largest vendor, Motorola, Inc. ("Motorola"), constituted approximately 73% of
the Company's equipment revenues during fiscal 1997 and approximately 66% of the
Company's equipment revenues during fiscal 1998. In addition, BearCom's
    
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   9
 
rental radio inventory consists primarily of products manufactured by Motorola
and a very high percentage of Condor's equipment revenues were generated by the
sale of products purchased from Motorola. As is customary in the industry, the
Company does not have long-term contracts with any of its vendors, including
Motorola. Although the Company and its suppliers enter into written vendor
agreements to effect purchases, such agreements generally can be canceled by
either party at will. While the Company does have access to similar products
from competing vendors, the inability to obtain products from certain vendors,
particularly Motorola, would have a material adverse effect upon the Company. If
Motorola experiences a business interruption or other business problems, the
Company could be materially adversely affected. There can be no assurance that
Motorola will continue to grant the Company the right to distribute its products
in its current areas of operation or that Motorola will grant the Company the
right to distribute its products in areas served by offices that the Company may
acquire or open in the future. Also, the Company's status as a Motorola dealer
in some or all of its offices could be unilaterally terminated by Motorola.
Termination of the Company's status as a Motorola dealer would have a material
adverse effect on the Company. See "Business -- Growth Strategy" and
"Business -- Products and Services."
 
   
     Several manufacturers of two-way radio products, including Motorola,
compete with independent distributors in selling, servicing and renting two-way
wireless communication products. Prior to 1987, a very high percentage of
two-way radios were distributed directly by their manufacturers. Since then,
Motorola and other manufacturers have increasingly distributed two-way radios
via independent dealers, with the exception of large accounts. There can be no
assurance that this trend will continue. Manufacturers could change their
distribution strategy and begin to distribute more or all two-way radios
themselves or through distribution means other than independent dealers. Such
change would have a material adverse effect on the Company. See
"Business -- Industry Overview."
    
 
     Motorola offers a cooperative advertising program pursuant to which the
Company is permitted to claim reimbursements for certain expenses of up to a
percentage of the cost of certain inventory purchased, subject to certain
conditions. This program could be canceled, or the benefits available to the
Company thereunder could be significantly reduced, without the consent of the
Company. Any such cancellation or reduction could have a material adverse effect
on the Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
   
LIMITED EXPERIENCE WITH INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS; RISKS OF CONDUCTING
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
    
 
   
     In August 1995, the Company opened a field office in Sydney, Australia, and
in July 1997 and May 1998 the Company acquired dealers in Brisbane, Australia.
Revenues from the Australia offices were less than 2% of the Company's net
revenues in fiscal 1998. Thus, the Company historically has had limited
experience with international operations. In March 1998, the Company completed
the acquisition of Condor, which has distribution sales offices in Caracas,
Venezuela and Prague, Czech Republic. On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the
Condor Acquisition and the Other Acquisitions, the Company's revenues for fiscal
1998 that were derived from sales to customers outside of the United States, or
to other exporters who then sell such products to customers outside of the
United States, were 33.2%, with approximately 5.5% of the Company's revenues for
such periods being derived from sales to customers in Venezuela. The Company may
open field offices in other international markets or may acquire dealers with
international operations. The Company's success and plans for future growth in
international markets will be dependent on its ability to attract and retain
qualified management personnel for its international operations.
    
 
     Foreign operations and sales are subject to political and economic risks,
including political instability, currency controls, exchange rate fluctuations,
increased credit risks, foreign tax laws, changes in import/export regulations
and tariff and freight rates. Political and other factors beyond the control of
the Company, including trade disputes among nations or internal instability in
any nation where the Company conducts business, could have a material adverse
effect on the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to successfully manage the risks presented by significant international
operations.

COMPETITION
 
     The two-way radio distribution industry is highly competitive and is
currently comprised of several regional and numerous local dealers. The
principal bases of competition in the industry are price and service. The sale
of two-way radios is a low-margin, high-volume business. Because awareness of
two-way wireless communication products is growing and the cost barriers to
entry into this market are relatively low, the risk of new competitors entering
this market is high. The Company believes that the industry will become more
competitive as the number of competitors increases and as new technologies
emerge. These factors, coupled with the growing industry emphasis on containing
costs, could place significant pressure on the Company to reduce prices, which
could significantly reduce the gross margins realized by the Company on sales of
its products.
 
   
     In addition, several manufacturers of two-way radio products, including
Motorola, the Company's largest vendor, also compete with independent
distributors in selling, servicing and renting two-way wireless communication
products. There can be no assurance that manufacturers of two-way radio products
will continue to utilize independent distributors in the future. In addition,
there are several significantly large global distributors of wireless
communication products other than two-way radios. These companies to date have
not entered the two-way radio distribution market in any significant way, but
there can be no assurance that these companies will not enter this industry in
the future. These manufacturers and distributors are much larger than the
Company, and have substantially greater capital resources, sales experience and
distribution capabilities than the Company. In response to competitive pressure
from any of its current or future competitors, the Company may be required to
lower selling prices, which would lower the Company's gross margins, which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business -- Growth Strategy"
and "Business -- Competition."
    
 
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS
 
   
     The Company has experienced material variations in quarterly revenues and
net income as a result of many factors including, among others, customer
relationships, catalog response rates, product blend, the level of selling,
general and administrative expense, weather conditions and the condition of the
wireless communication industry in general. For example, BearCom's net sales and
profits historically have been lower in the three months ended January 31 due to
lower levels of business activity during the winter months. In addition,
quarterly results may be materially affected by the timing of significant rental
activity, the timing of large system sales, seasonality in the ordering patterns
of users of the Company's products, seasonal buying patterns of dealers that
purchase products from Condor, the timing of new enhancements or product
offerings made available by suppliers, economic conditions in the geographical
areas in which the Company operates and the timing and magnitude of acquisitions
and related assimilation costs. Therefore, the operating results for any fiscal
quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for
any subsequent fiscal quarter or for a full fiscal year. It is likely that the
Company will experience such fluctuations in the future. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Quarterly Results of Operations."
    
 
DEPENDENCE ON SYSTEMS
 
     The Company's success depends on the accuracy and proper utilization of its
management information systems. The Company's ability to manage its inventory
and accounts receivable collection; to purchase, sell and ship its products
efficiently and on a timely basis; and to maintain a cost efficient operation is
dependent upon the quality and utilization of the information generated by its
management information systems. The Company believes that its management
information system, coupled with planned enhancements, is sufficient to sustain
its present operations and its anticipated growth for the foreseeable future,
although no assurance can be given to that effect. The Company has adopted
procedures to protect its computer system and to provide for recovery in the
event of equipment failure. All system data is backed up to tape daily with
backup tapes stored off-site. Although the Company has not experienced a
significant failure in its computer system to date, there can be no assurance
that the Company will not experience such a failure in the future or that such
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
failure would not have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition,
there can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not develop
software applications similar to the proprietary software developed by the
Company or that such development would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company. See "Business -- Management Information System."
 
     The Company is in the process of modifying the software in its management
information system so that all of such software will be Year 2000 compliant.
There can be no assurance that the Company will timely complete such
modifications. Failure of the Company, its vendors or its customers to have in
place Year 2000 compliant systems could have a material adverse effect on the
Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Year 2000 Compliant Information Systems."
 
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND INVENTORY OBSOLESCENCE
 
   
     Management expects that much of the future growth in the wireless
communications industry will be based upon the introduction of new technologies,
such as digital transmission, and new services, such as satellite-based systems,
Personal Communication Services ("PCS") and Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio
("ESMR"). The scope and technical attributes of many of these new technologies
and services have not been completely determined, and conflicting technologies
may be developed. In addition, technological advances could reduce the need for
continual product purchases by industry customers. To the extent that the
implementation of new technologies and services is delayed, or that new
technologies and services or reductions in airtime charges for new or existing
technologies and services reduce the need for the products offered by the
Company, the Company could be adversely affected. The Company maintains a
significant investment in its product inventory and, therefore, is subject to
the risk of inventory obsolescence. In the past, technological change and
inventory obsolescence have not had a material impact on the Company. If,
however, a material amount of inventory is rendered obsolete, the Company could
be required to write-down the value of such inventory and take a charge against
earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In
addition, if the Company is unable for any reason to take advantage of marketing
programs offered by vendors, it could be materially and adversely affected.
    
 
RELIANCE ON MANAGEMENT
 
   
     The Company's success will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts
and abilities of certain key management personnel. The loss of the services of
the Company's key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on
the Company. The Company currently maintains $2 million of key-man life
insurance on Gary Weber, the Company's Vice President -- Marketing, for which it
is designated as the beneficiary. The Company's success and plans for future
growth will also be dependent on its ability to attract and retain qualified
employees in all areas of its business. See "Management."
    
 
DISTRIBUTION COSTS; RELIABILITY RISKS
 
     Postage and shipping are significant expenses in the operation of the
Company's business. The Company ships its products to customers primarily by
United Parcel Service, as well as other overnight delivery and ground delivery
services, and mails its catalogs through the U.S. Postal Service. Any increases
in postal or shipping rates in the future could have a material adverse effect
on the Company. The cost of paper is also a significant expense of the Company
in printing its catalogs. Historically, paper prices have fluctuated from time
to time. Any future increases in the cost of paper could have a material adverse
effect on the Company.
 
     In August 1997, United Parcel Service experienced a labor strike that
adversely affected the Company both in terms of the service the Company was able
to provide as well as in terms of increased costs. A longer strike in the future
would likely have an even more significant adverse effect on the Company.
 
STATE SALES AND USE TAX
 
     Various states have sought to impose on direct marketers the burden of
collecting state use taxes on the sale of products shipped to those states'
residents. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the various states,
absent Congressional legislation, may not impose tax collection obligations on
an out-of-state mail
                                       10
<PAGE>   12
 
order company whose only contacts with the taxing state are the distribution of
catalogs and other advertisement materials through the mail and whose subsequent
delivery of purchased goods is by U.S. mail or interstate common carriers. From
time to time, legislation has been introduced in Congress which, if passed,
would impose state use tax collection obligations on out-of-state mail order
companies such as the Company. If such legislation were to be enacted, the
imposition of a tax collection obligation on the Company may result in
additional administrative expenses to the Company and price increases to the
customer that could adversely affect the Company. Currently, the Company does
not collect sales tax from customers in states in which the Company does not
maintain a sales office.
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE; REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
   
     Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding
10,002,515 shares of Common Stock. Of these shares, the 3,759,000 shares of
Common Stock sold in the Offering (4,322,850 shares if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be freely transferable without
restriction under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), by persons
other than "affiliates" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144"). The remaining 6,243,515
shares of Common Stock were issued in reliance on exemptions from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, and those shares are
"restricted" securities under Rule 144. For purposes of Rule 144, approximately
1,367,471 shares held for more than two years will be eligible for sale
immediately following consummation of the Offering, based on current Securities
and Exchange Commission ("Commission") rules. Following the expiration or
release from the 180-day lock-up agreements with the representatives of the
Underwriters, approximately 4,799,238 additional shares of Common Stock will be
eligible for sale in accordance with the requirements of Rule 144, subject to
compliance with certain volume limitations.
    
 
     The Company has granted registration rights to its existing shareholders.
After the Offering, such shareholders will each have the right to require the
Company, subject to certain limitations, to include shares held by them in one
of the first four registrations of Common Stock by the Company. All shareholders
holding registration rights have waived their rights to participate as selling
shareholders in the Offering, except the Selling Shareholders in this Offering.
See "Principal and Selling Shareholders."
 
     Each of the Company, its officers and directors, and certain other
shareholders of the Company, including the Selling Shareholders, has agreed that
it will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, solicit an offer to buy, contract to sell,
grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose
of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Commission a registration statement
under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of Common Stock, or any
securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common
Stock or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers all or a
portion of the economic consequences associated with ownership of any Common
Stock, for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the
prior written consent of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation
("DLJ"), except pursuant to certain limited exceptions. See "Shares Eligible for
Future Sale" and "Underwriting."
 
     Future sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock, or the perception that
such sales could occur, may affect the market price of the Common Stock
prevailing from time to time.
 
NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; OFFER PRICE; STOCK PRICE VOLATILITY
 
     Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Company's
Common Stock, and there can be no assurance that following this Offering an
active trading market will develop or be maintained. The initial public offering
price will be determined by negotiations between the Company and the
representatives of the Underwriters and may not be indicative of prices that
will prevail in the trading market following this Offering. For a description of
the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price, see
"Underwriting." After the Offering, the market price of the Common Stock may be
influenced by many factors including, among others, the operating results of the
Company, investors' perceptions of the Company and its prospects, and general
economic and market conditions. In addition, the stock market has historically
experienced volatility which has particularly affected the market prices of
securities of many technology-related companies and which sometimes has been
unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. Furthermore, any
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   13
 
adverse changes in the market price of the common stock of other wireless
communication distribution or related companies or announcements of
technological developments may adversely affect the market price of the
Company's Common Stock, irrespective of whether there has been any deterioration
of the Company's business or financial results.
 
CONTROL BY EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS
 
   
     Upon completion of this offering, the Company's officers and directors will
beneficially own approximately 48.7% of the outstanding Common Stock. As a
result, these shareholders, acting together, may be able to control the outcome
of certain actions requiring shareholder approval, such as election of
directors, amendments to the Company's charter and mergers or other changes in
control. See "Principal and Selling Shareholders."
    
 
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
     The Texas Business Corporation Act and the Company's Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws contain various provisions, including, without
limitation, certain provisions authorizing the Company to issue preferred stock
and dividing the Company's Board of Directors into three classes serving
staggered three-year terms, that may make it more difficult for a third party to
acquire, or may discourage acquisition bids for, the Company and could limit the
price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of
the Company's Common Stock. The ownership after this Offering by the Company's
officers, directors and their affiliates of substantial shares of Common Stock
could also discourage such bids. In addition, the rights of the holders of
Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of
any holders of preferred stock that may be issued in the future and that may be
senior to the rights of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of preferred
stock may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in
control of the Company. See "Description of Capital Stock."
 
POSSIBLE HEALTH RISKS
 
     Recently, lawsuits have been filed alleging a link between the non-thermal
electromagnetic field emitted by cellular telephones and two-way radios and the
development of cancer. To date, there have been relatively few medical studies
relating to the effects of non-thermal electromagnetic fields on health, and
there are not any widely accepted theories regarding how exposure to a
non-thermal electromagnetic field could threaten health. Future medical studies
may produce findings that could have a material adverse effect upon the wireless
communications industry and the Company.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
     From time to time, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") amends its
regulations governing the licensing or sale of the communication equipment
distributed by the Company, the frequencies that such equipment uses, and the
requirements for operating such equipment. The FCC has from time to time
submitted proposals relating to licensing, use and regulation of frequency bands
that could affect operation on certain of the frequency bands where equipment
marketed by the Company operates. It is uncertain what impact, if any, these or
future proposals may have on the Company's operations.
 
   
IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
    
 
   
     This Offering will result in an immediate and substantial dilution to
purchasers of the Common Stock offered hereby because the net tangible book
value per share of the Common Stock after this Offering will be substantially
less than the initial public offering price per share. See "Dilution."
    
 
   
NO EXPECTATION OF DIVIDENDS
    
 
   
     For the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that any earnings will be
retained for operations and expansion of the Company's business and that cash
dividends will not be paid to holders of the Common Stock. See "Dividend
Policy."

                                  THE COMPANY
 
   
     In December 1995, the Company (then named Page-Com, Inc.) consummated the
Merger with Bear Communications. Bear Communications was a leading independent
distributor of wireless communication products in the United States through the
field office channel and Page-Com was a leading independent distributor of
wireless communication products in the United States through catalog operations.
The Merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests. From August 1996 through
June 1998, the Company acquired the operations of 14 independent dealers of
wireless communication products, a majority of the assets of Motorola's Radio
Products Group rentals business and substantially all of the assets of Condor.
All such acquisitions were accounted for as purchases for financial reporting
purposes. The aggregate consideration paid for such acquisitions was $18.7
million in cash, notes payable in the amount of $300,000 and amounts to be paid
pursuant to certain earn-out arrangements.
    
 
   
     On March 31, 1998, the Company completed the Condor Acquisition. Condor
reported revenues of $50.7 million during its fiscal year ended December 31,
1997. The Condor Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Based in Miami, Florida, Condor is a leading exporter of two-way
radio communication equipment and communication systems primarily to Latin
America, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. In addition to its Miami
office, Condor operates a distribution sales office in Prague, Czech Republic.
Condor owns a fifty percent interest in an entity that operates a distribution
sales office in Caracas, Venezuela. Condor exports primarily Motorola two-way
radio products. Virtually all of Condor's sales are denominated in U.S. dollars.
The Condor Acquisition provides the Company an operational platform from which
it can expand its international operations. The Company's strategy is to expand
its international operations by establishing additional sales offices within
licensed regions and offering additional products and services within those
regions. The Company paid cash consideration of $7.0 million at the closing of
the Condor Acquisition. In addition, the Company entered into an earn-out
arrangement pursuant to which the Company is obligated to pay Condor
Communications, for each of the twelve-month periods ending March 31, 1999 and
2000, an amount equal to fifty percent of the first $3.0 million of EBITDA
attributable to Condor Business Unit Operations (as defined in the agreement
governing the Condor Acquisition), provided that EBITDA for such twelve-month
period shall be $2.0 million or greater, and twenty-five percent of EBITDA in
excess of $3.0 million, without limitation.
    
 
     The Company's principal executive offices are located at 11545 Pagemill
Road, Dallas, Texas 75243 and its telephone number is (214) 340-8876.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
   
     The net proceeds to be received by the Company from the sale of the shares
of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby (after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) are estimated to be
approximately $42.8 million, assuming an initial public offering price of
$14.00. A portion of the net proceeds will be used to repay all of the Company's
borrowings under its $25 million revolving line of credit and its $5 million
term note (the "Senior Bank Facility") payable to Wells Fargo Bank (Texas),
National Association, an aggregate of approximately $27.4 million, consisting of
$23 million under the revolving line of credit and $4.4 million under the term
loan, at May 31, 1998. The Company is required to repay the amount of all
principal outstanding under the term note in equal monthly installments through
November 5, 2001. The Company may re-borrow funds under the revolving line of
credit from time to time. All outstanding amounts under the revolving line of
credit are due and payable on November 5, 1999. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and
Capital Resources." The revolving line of credit and the term note each bear
interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% and 1.35%, respectively (6.90% and 7.00%,
respectively, at May 31, 1998) or the lender's prime rate (8.50% at May 31,
1998). At May 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Senior
Bank Facility of $22.0 million bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%, $4.2
million at LIBOR plus 1.35% and $1.2 million bearing interest at the prime rate.
During fiscal 1998, the Company incurred $15.9 million of indebtedness under the
Senior Bank Facility to fund its acquisition program and $1.9 million to fund
capital additions. All other borrowings under the Senior Bank Facility during
fiscal 1998 were incurred for working capital. The balance of the net proceeds
will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, and
would be available to finance, among other things, potential strategic
acquisitions and upgrades to the Company's management information systems. The
Company is currently evaluating certain strategic acquisitions; however, the
Company has no binding commitment to acquire any business or other material
assets. Pending such uses, the net proceeds of the Offering will be invested in
short-term, interest-bearing securities. Other than as a result of the
anticipated repayment to the Company of a promissory note from a Selling
Shareholder with the proceeds from shares of Common Stock to be sold by him in
the Offering, the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares
by the Selling Shareholders. See "Management -- Compensation Committee
Interlocks and Insider Participation."
    
 
   
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
    
 
   
     The Company has not paid dividends on its Common Stock during the last two
fiscal years. The Company expects that in the foreseeable future it will retain
all available earnings, if any, for the development and growth of its businesses
and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the Common Stock. The
Senior Bank Facility prohibits paying dividends while any amounts are
outstanding thereunder. Subject to this restriction, the payment of cash
dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and
will depend upon such factors as the Company's future earnings, capital
requirements, financial condition and business prospects and other factors the
Board of Directors deems relevant.

                                    DILUTION
 
   
     At April 30, 1998, the net tangible book value of the Company was
approximately $3.2 million or $0.48 per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book
value per share is determined by dividing the tangible net worth of the Company
(total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale by the Company of the shares
of Common Stock offered hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of
$14.00 per share and the deduction of the estimated underwriting discounts and
commissions and Offering expenses payable by the Company in connection
therewith, but without taking into account any other changes in such net
tangible book value, the net tangible book value of the Company at April 30,
1998 would have been approximately $46.0 million or $4.60 per share. This
represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $4.12 per share
to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of
$9.40 per share to purchasers of shares in this Offering. The following table
illustrates this dilution:

(1) Sales by the Selling Shareholders in connection with this Offering will
    reduce the number of shares held by existing shareholders of the Company to
    6,166,709, or 61.7% of the total number of shares outstanding after this
    Offering, and will increase the number of shares held by new investors to
    3,759,000 shares, or 37.6% of the total number of shares outstanding after
    this Offering. See "Principal and Selling Shareholders."
    
 
   
     The computations in the table set forth above assume no exercise of
outstanding stock options. On the date of this Prospectus, there were
outstanding options to purchase 406,000 shares of Common Stock at the Offering

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income is
included in order to illustrate the effect on the Company's statement of income
of the transactions described below.
    
 
   
     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the
year ended April 30, 1998 gives effect to (i) the Condor Acquisition and Other
Acquisitions and (ii) the Offering and the application of the net proceeds
therefrom (and repayment of shareholder notes) as if these transactions had
occurred on May 1, 1997. As used herein, "Other Acquisitions" reflects the
acquisitions of three acquired businesses. The remaining eight acquisitions
completed since May 1, 1997 are not included because the acquisitions occurred
at or near the beginning of the year ended April 30, 1998 or are not material.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year
ended April 30, 1998 includes the results of Condor for the twelve-month period
ended March 31, 1998.
    
 
   
     The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information
and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, and in the
opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
pro forma financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statement of income and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with
the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and Condor, and
other financial information pertaining to the Company, including the information
set forth under the captions "The Company," "Capitalization" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
included elsewhere herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statement of income is not indicative of either future results of operations or
the results that might have occurred if the foregoing transactions had been
consummated on the indicated dates.

(1) For periods prior to January 1, 1995, Bear Communications was subject to
    taxation under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
    (the "Code"), for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision was
    made for federal income taxes as the liability for such taxes was the
    responsibility of the shareholders of Bear Communications. Pro forma net
    income and pro forma net income per share are determined after computing
    federal income taxes as if Bear Communications had been directly responsible
    for federal income taxes for the periods presented. Pro forma net income was
    greater than net income for the year ended April 30, 1994 as a result of a
    pro forma tax benefit of $86,000 related to losses incurred by Bear
    Communications. Pro forma net income was greater than net income for the
    year ended April 30, 1995 due to the effect of a $666,000 charge related to
    the change in tax status of Bear Communications.
    
 
   
(2) "EBITDA" is calculated herein as income before income taxes, plus
    depreciation, amortization and interest expense. The Company believes that
    EBITDA is a measure commonly used in the wireless communication industry by
    financial analysts, investors and other interested parties for measuring and
    comparing financial information such as liquidity, operating performance and
    leverage. EBITDA is not a measure of cash flow, operating results or
    liquidity, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles, and differs from net cash provided by operating activities as
    determined under generally accepted accounting principles in that it
    excludes significant components useful in understanding and assessing the
    Company's financial performance. EBITDA should not be considered in
    isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or
    cash flows provided by operations. EBITDA amounts shown for the Company may
    not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported for other companies
    as such calculations may not be made on the same basis.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The following provides an analysis of the Company's financial condition and
results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with "Selected
Financial Data" and the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto
included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Except for the historical information
contained herein, the discussion in this Prospectus contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual
performance or results could differ materially from those discussed herein.
Factors that could contribute to such differences include those discussed below
and in the section entitled "Risk Factors," as well as those discussed elsewhere
in this Prospectus.
 
OVERVIEW
 
   
     The Company is principally engaged in the business of selling, renting and
servicing site-based two-way communication equipment and accessories. In
December 1995, the Company (then named Page-Com, Inc.) consummated the Merger
with Bear Communications. Prior to the Merger, the Company believes that Bear
Communications was the largest independent distributor of two-way radios in the
United States through the field office channel and Page-Com was the largest
independent distributor of two-way radios in the United States through the
catalog marketing channel. As a result of the Merger, which was accounted for as
a pooling of interests, the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements have
been restated to include the accounts and operations of Page-Com and Bear
Communications for all periods presented. From August 1996 through April 1998,
the Company acquired the operations of 12 independent dealers of wireless
communication products and a majority of the assets of Motorola's Radio Products
Group rentals business. On March 31, 1998, the Company consummated the Condor
Acquisition. All such acquisitions were accounted for as purchases for financial
reporting purposes. Accordingly, the results of operations of such acquired
businesses are included in the Company's results of operations from the dates of
acquisition.
    
 
   
     The Company's acquisitions have enabled it to enter new domestic and
international markets and increase penetration of existing markets. Acquisitions
generally have been financed through the use of the Senior Bank Facility. Of the
approximately $27.4 million of outstanding borrowings under the Senior Bank
Facility as of May 31, 1998, the Company borrowed approximately $18.7 million to
make acquisitions. During the initial integration phase following an
acquisition, the Company typically has incurred integration-related operating
expenses for training personnel, for the conversion of information systems and
other transition-related costs. Depending on the size and location of an
acquired business, integration costs have been incurred primarily during the
first six months following an acquisition.
    
 
   
     The Company's revenues are derived from sales to end-users in a wide
variety of industries, other wireless communication dealers and rental
customers. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 1997 and 1998, revenues derived
from sales to other wholesale wireless communication dealers accounted for
approximately 10% of the Company's revenues. However, as a result of the Condor
Acquisition, the Company expects that revenues from sales to other wholesale
wireless communication dealers will account for a significantly higher
percentage of the Company's revenues for periods subsequent to such acquisition.
Additionally, for the last two fiscal years, no single customer accounted for
more than 5% of the Company's revenues.
    
 
   
     From May 1, 1996 through April 30, 1998, 81% of the Company's revenues was
derived from the sale of equipment, while 12% was attributable to rental
revenues, 5% to repair revenues and 2% to other revenues. Other revenues
includes revenues from sales of paging services and Nextel activation fees.
Gross profit margins related to rental and repair revenues historically have
been significantly higher than that of revenues derived from the sale of
equipment and accessories.

  YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 1997
    
 
   
     Revenues. Revenues increased $26.9 million, or 38.6%, to $96.5 million for
the year ended April 30, 1998 compared to $69.6 million for the year ended April
30, 1997. Of the overall revenue increase, approximately $16.3 million was
related to revenues included from ten businesses acquired during fiscal 1998,
including Condor revenues of approximately $4.8 million. The remaining $10.6
million increase related to internal revenue growth from the Company's sales
offices existing as of April 30, 1997 and catalog operations. Overall, revenues
were not impacted by any significant price changes. Increases by revenue
components were as follows: equipment revenues increased $18.2 million, or
31.4%; rental revenues increased $2.7 million, or 32.3%; repair revenues
increased $3.9 million; and other revenues increased $2.1 million. Excluding
approximately $800,000 of rental revenue generated from the 1996 Summer Olympic
Games, rental revenues increased $3.5 million, or 46.0%, during the year ended
April 30, 1998. This increase was primarily related to the Company's acquisition
of a majority of the assets of Motorola's Radio Products Group rentals business
in June 1997 as well as rental revenues attributable to other acquired
businesses. Of the $3.9 million increase in repair revenues, approximately $2.2
million is attributable to acquired businesses with the remaining $1.7 million
increase attributable to existing repair services. Additionally, the increase in
other revenues is attributable to increased activation income earned from the
sale of Nextel equipment.
    
 
   
     Gross profit. Gross profit increased $8.4 million, or 36.0%, to $31.8
million for the year ended April 30, 1998 compared to $23.4 million for the year
ended April 30, 1997. Of the overall gross profit increase, $4.1 million was
attributable to businesses acquired during fiscal 1998. Gross profit margin
decreased from 33.6% for the year ended April 30, 1997 to 32.9% for the year
ended April 30, 1998, primarily as a result of a decrease in gross profit
margins related to revenues derived from equipment sales, primarily due to the
elimination during 1997 of a special rebate program from a manufacturer as well
as lower gross margins from Condor from the date of acquisition. The decrease in
gross profit margin was partially offset by a higher percentage of revenues
being derived from repair and other revenues and increases in other income.
    
 
   
     Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased by $6.9 million, or 35.1%,
to $26.7 million for the year ended April 30, 1998 compared to $19.8 million for
the year ended April 30, 1997. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses
were 27.6% and 28.4% for the year ended April 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Of the increase in operating expenses, approximately $3.4 million was
attributable to businesses acquired during fiscal 1998. Other increases related
to administrative costs to facilitate the Company's growth, as well

catalogs mailed during the year ended April 30, 1998 compared to the same period
in 1997.
    
 
   
     Interest expense. For the year ended April 30, 1998, interest expense
increased $596,000 to $1,191,000, from $595,000 for the year ended April 30,
1997. The increase was primarily attributable to increased borrowings to finance
the Company's acquisition activity during the year. The increase was offset in
part by lower interest rates as a result of the Company amending its revolving
credit facility at November 1, 1996.
    
 
   
     Other, net. For the year ended April 30, 1998, other, net remained
relatively constant compared to the year ended April 30, 1997.
    
 
   
     Income tax expense. The effective income tax rate for the year ended April
30, 1998 was 38.0%, compared to 38.4% for the year ended April 30, 1997. The
Company's effective income tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as
a result of provisions made for state income taxes.
    
 
  YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 1996
 
     Revenues. Revenues increased $6.3 million, or 10.0%, to $69.6 million for
the year ended April 30, 1997 compared to $63.3 million for the year ended April
30, 1996. Of the overall revenue increase, approximately $2.6 million was
related to revenues included from three businesses acquired subsequent to April
30, 1996. The remaining $3.7 million increase related to internal revenue growth
from the Company's existing sales offices and catalog operations. Overall,
revenues were not impacted by any significant price changes. Increases by
revenue components were as follows: equipment revenues increased $3.7 million,
or 6.9%; rental revenues increased $2.1 million, or 33.5%; repair revenues
increased $402,000, or 19.4%; and other revenues increased $93,000, or 13.3%.
During September 1995, the Company discontinued selling to a customer that
accounted for approximately $2.1 million of its equipment revenues for the year
ended April 30, 1996. That customer was a chain of discount warehouse clubs that
ceased selling two-way radios and instead allowed a third party to sell two-way
radios in kiosks located in those warehouse clubs. Excluding this revenue,
overall revenues and equipment revenues for the year ended April 30, 1997 would
have increased 13.9% and 11.3%, respectively. Additionally, excluding
approximately $0.8 million of rental revenues generated from the 1996 Summer
Olympic Games, rental revenues increased $1.3 million, or 21.0%, during the year
ended April 30, 1997 compared to the year ended April 30, 1996.
 
     Gross profit. Gross profit increased by $3.1 million, or 15.1%, to $23.4
million for the year ended April 30, 1997 compared to $20.3 million for the year
ended April 30, 1996. Of the overall gross profit increase, $1.1 million was
attributable to the three businesses acquired subsequent to April 30, 1996.
Gross profit margin increased from 32.1% for the year ended April 30, 1996 to
33.6% for the year ended April 30, 1997, primarily as a result of the loss of
sales to a significant customer, which sales resulted in below-average gross
profit margins. Additionally, overall gross profit margins increased primarily
as a result of a higher percentage of revenues being derived from rental and
repair revenues, which have historically provided the Company significantly
higher gross profit margins.
 
     Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased by $3.1 million, or 18.3%,
to $19.8 million for the year ended April 30, 1997 compared to $16.7 million for
the year ended April 30, 1996. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses
were 28.4% and 26.4% for the years ended April 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Of the increase in operating expenses, approximately $0.9 million was
attributable to acquired businesses. Additionally, operating expenses increased
as a result of increased administrative costs for a full year associated with
the Merger in December 1995 and an increase in freight costs resulting from a
change in the Company's freight program, which increase was not passed on to its
customers.
 
     Interest expense. For the year ended April 30, 1997, interest expense
increased $51,000 to $595,000 from $544,000 for the year ended April 30, 1996.
The net increase was primarily attributable to increased borrowings to finance
the Company's acquisitions during the year, which increase was partially offset
by lower interest rates as a result of the Company amending its revolving credit
facility on November 1, 1996.
 
     Other, net. Other income for the year ended April 30, 1997 was $73,000
compared to other expense of $33,000 for the year ended April 30, 1996. For the
year ended April 30, 1997, other income was primarily
                                       22
<PAGE>   24
 
related to interest income from notes receivable from an officer of the Company.
For the year ended April 30, 1996, other expense is primary attributable to
legal and professional fees that were incurred in connection with the Merger.
 
   
     Income tax expense. The effective income tax rate for the year ended April
30, 1997 was 38.4%, compared to 38.8% for the year ended April 30, 1996. The
Company's effective income tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as
a result of provisions made for state income taxes.

     The Company's business is subject to seasonal influences and accordingly,
its revenues and operating results are typically lower during the fiscal quarter
ending January 31 due to lower levels of business activity during the winter
months. The Company's revenues and operating results may be subject to further
fluctuation in future periods. Significant quarterly fluctuations in the
Company's revenue and operating results may be caused by, among other factors,
the timing of significant rental activity, seasonality in the ordering patterns
of users of the Company's products, the timing of new enhancements or product
offerings made available by suppliers, economic conditions in the geographical
areas in which the Company operates and acquisitions and related assimilation
costs. See "Risk Factors -- Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results."
 
   
CONDOR
    
   
    
 
   
     On March 31, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Condor, a leading exporter of two-way communication equipment and communication
systems to dealers primarily in Latin America and Eastern Europe. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Condor is
based in Miami, Florida and has distribution offices in Caracas, Venezuela and
Prague, Czech Republic.
    
 
   
     Condor reported revenues of $50.7 million during the twelve months ended
December 31, 1997, an increase of 11.4% from revenues of $45.5 million in 1996.
This increase was due to increased shipments of two-way equipment to dealers.
Condor's gross profit decreased to $5.7 million in 1997 from $7.1 million in
1996. Condor's gross margin decreased to 11.3% in 1997 from 15.7% in 1996.
Condor's decreased gross profit and gross margin in 1997 was primarily due to a
reduction in selling prices to attract new customers in Latin America and a
reduction of sales in Eastern Europe. Condor's selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $4.7 million in 1997 from $4.4 million in
1996, primarily due to increased bad debt expense for
    
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   25
 
   
1997 compared to 1996. As a percentage of revenue, Condor's selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 9.2% in 1997 from 9.7% in 1996. Condor's
operating income decreased to $1.0 million, or 2.0% of revenue in 1997 from $2.7
million or 6.0% of revenue in 1996.
    
 
   
     The Company's historical financial information included in this Prospectus
does not include the operations of Condor in any periods presented. As a result
of the Condor Acquisition, the Company expects that its consolidated gross
profit margin will decline in future periods due to the inclusion of Condor's
export operations, which have had significantly lower gross profit margins than
the Company's domestic operations. Although Condor's operating expenses as a
percentage of revenues historically have been lower than that of BearCom, Condor
historically has experienced operating income margins similar to or less than
BearCom due to the significant difference in gross profit margins. Condor's
business is subject to seasonal influences and, accordingly, its quarterly
revenues and operating results may be materially affected by the timing of large
system sales, seasonal buying patterns of dealers, the timing of new
enhancements or product offerings made available by suppliers and economic
conditions in the geographical areas in which it operates. See "Risk
Factors -- Limited Experience with International Operations; Risks of Conducting
International Operations."
    
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
   
     During fiscal 1996 and 1998, the Company generated cash flow from operating
activities of $3.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively. During fiscal 1997,
the Company used $152,000 of cash in its operating activities. Historically,
cash flows provided by operating activities have been used to fund the Company's
working capital requirements, primarily its growth in accounts receivable and
inventories. For fiscal 1996, 1997 and 1998, accounts receivable increased $1.2
million, $1.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Additionally, during
fiscal 1997 and 1998, inventories increased $1.5 million and $2.0 million,
respectively. The increase in accounts receivable and inventories was primarily
a result of the Company's growth through acquisitions.
    
 
   
     Capital expenditures for property and equipment totaled approximately $1.4
million, $2.1 million and $1.9 million for the years ended April 30, 1996, 1997
and 1998, respectively. Significant capital expenditures in each period were
made primarily to purchase equipment to update the Company's rental radio fleet.
Since August 1996, the Company has acquired the operations of 14 independent
dealers of wireless communication products, and a majority of the assets of
Motorola's Radio Products Group rentals business and Condor for aggregate
consideration of $18.7 million in cash, notes payable in the amount of $300,000
and amounts to be paid pursuant to certain earn-out arrangements. As part of the
Condor Acquisition, the Company entered into an earn-out arrangement pursuant to
which the Company is obligated to pay Condor Communications, for each of the
twelve-month periods ending March 31, 1999 and 2000, an amount equal to fifty
percent of the first $3.0 million of EBITDA attributable to Condor Business Unit
Operations (as defined in the agreement governing the Condor Acquisition),
provided that EBITDA for such twelve-month period shall be $2.0 million or
greater, and twenty-five percent of EBITDA in excess of $3.0 million, without
limitation. The Company cannot estimate the amount that might be paid pursuant
to this earn-out arrangement. Payments pursuant to this arrangement are payable
within 45 days following the end of each such twelve-month period.
    
 
   
     In addition to cash flows from operations, the Company's principal source
of liquidity is borrowings under the Senior Bank Facility. The Senior Bank
Facility is comprised of (i) a $25.0 million revolving line of credit maturing
November 5, 1999 that may be used for working capital, general corporate
purposes and strategic acquisitions and (ii) a $5.0 million term loan requiring
monthly payments of $104,167 plus accrued interest through November 5, 2001. At
the Company's option (subject to certain terms and conditions), borrowings under
the Senior Bank Facility bear interest at either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a
margin (1.25% in the case of the revolving line of credit and 1.35% in the case
of the term loan) or at the lender's prime commercial rate. Borrowings under the
Senior Bank Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the
Company. Additionally, the Company is entitled to prepay amounts from time to
time, in whole or part, without notice or penalty.
    
 
   
     The maximum amount of borrowings under the revolving line of credit is the
lesser of $25 million or a multiple of "free cash flow" of the Company, as
defined under the Senior Bank Facility. As of May 31, 1998, the Company had
approximately $23.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the revolving line
of credit and approximately $2.0 million available for further advances
thereunder. The Senior Bank Facility requires, among other things, that the
Company maintain working capital of $12.0 million and not less than $1,000 of
quarterly net income.
    
 
   
     As of April 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of approximately
$19.9 million and a current ratio of 2.4:1, compared to working capital of
approximately $13.2 million and a current ratio of 3.3:1 as of April 30, 1997.
The Company's trade accounts receivable balances at April 30, 1997 and 1998 were
$8.8 million and
    
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   26
 
   
$18.2 million, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily
related to the Company's increase in revenues resulting from acquisitions and
internal growth. The average days sales outstanding for accounts receivable was
approximately 42 days at April 30, 1997 and approximately 47 days at April 30,
1998. The increase in average days sales outstanding was primarily attributable
to a significant increase in repair revenue during the last half of fiscal 1998
compared to the same period in fiscal 1997. Revenues associated with repair work
historically have had a longer collection cycle than equipment or rental
revenues.
    
 
   
     The Company is offered discounts from several of its principal suppliers
for certain inventory purchases, with discounts ranging from 2% to 4% if the
Company pays within fifteen days. The Company historically has taken advantage
of these discounts. For the years ended April 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998, discounts
totaling $0.9 million, $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, were taken
by the Company. Additionally, the Company's principal supplier offers a
cooperative advertising program pursuant to which the Company is permitted to
claim reimbursements for certain expenses of up to 3% of certain inventory
purchased. Reimbursements are contingent upon the Company supporting specific
advertising expenses incurred in accordance with policies and procedures
established by the supplier. For the years ended April 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998,
the Company offset operating expenses by $447,000, $608,000 and $684,000,
respectively, relating to this reimbursement program. Although there can be no
assurance that such programs will be continued, they have been common in the
Company's industry for many years and have routinely been offered by several of
its principal suppliers. If, however, these programs were changed or terminated,
the Company's liquidity requirements could increase materially and results of
operations could be adversely affected.
    
 
     The Company believes its cash flow from operations, the net proceeds of the
offering made hereby and utilization of available amounts under the Senior Bank
Facility will be adequate to provide for its working capital needs, future
expansion, including opening new sales offices or acquiring additional wireless
communication businesses, and planned capital expenditures in the next fiscal
year.
 
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
 
   
     The Company uses software and related technologies throughout its business
that will be affected by the Year 2000 problem, which is common to most
businesses, and concerns the inability of information systems, primarily
computer software programs, to properly recognize and process date sensitive
information as the year 2000 approaches. The Company is in the process of
modifying the software in its management information system so that all of such
software will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes that it will be able
to modify all such software in time to minimize any detrimental effects on
operations and expects to complete all such modifications by June 1999. There
can be no assurance that the Company will timely complete such modifications.
While it is not possible, at this time, to give an accurate estimate of the cost
of this work, the Company expects that such costs will not be material to the
Company's results of operations. If the Company's significant suppliers fail to
be Year 2000 compliant, the Company could experience a significant disruption in
the availability of products. Failure of the Company, its vendors or its
customers to have in place Year 2000 compliant systems could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
    
 
AUTHORITATIVE PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and No. 131
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which are
required to be adopted in fiscal 1999. Statement 130 will require the Company to
report comprehensive income and its components with the same prominence as other
financial statements. Statement 131 is not expected to significantly change the
Company's current disclosures.

                                    BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
   
     The Company believes that it is the largest independent distributor of
two-way radios in the world with leading positions in the field sales, catalog
sales, export sales and rental segments of the market. The Company sells,
services and rents a broad line of two-way radios manufactured by industry
leaders including Motorola, Maxon, Icom and Tekk, which are used to communicate
within a limited geographic area without incurring airtime or subscriber
charges. In the United States, the Company's diverse customer base consists
primarily of businesses and organizations across a wide variety of industries,
whereas internationally the Company's customers generally are dealers which, in
turn, sell to similar end users. In addition to its two-way radio product line,
the Company sells complementary wireless communication and related products and
services, including Orbacom console systems, Motorola messaging systems, Nextel
handsets and services and PageMart pagers and services.
    
 
   
     Through BearCom, the Company markets its products and services through 32
field offices in the United States and two in Australia and through its catalog
operations throughout the United States. In addition, through Condor, the
Company exports its products and services through its distribution offices in
Miami, Florida, Caracas, Venezuela and Prague, Czech Republic. The Company
believes that it is the only significant distributor of two-way radios
leveraging the strengths of these multiple channels of distribution. Through its
field offices, BearCom provides technical assistance for customers requiring
on-site evaluation of their communications needs. For customers not requiring
this consultative approach (usually when system needs are relatively
uncomplicated or purchases are add-on or replacement units to an existing
system), the catalog marketing channel provides an efficient and convenient
method of purchasing products. During fiscal 1998, BearCom mailed more than 5.7
million catalogs and marketing pieces and processed in excess of 182,000
customer orders. Most orders are processed and shipped on the same day they are
received. The Company uses sophisticated information systems and proprietary
software to monitor and refine its customer database, catalog mailings and
inventory levels. In addition, the Company has a fleet of over 15,000 two-way
radios for rent, which are used in connection with sporting events, conventions,
disaster recovery projects, motion picture productions and other events. The
Company believes that it is the largest renter of two-way radios in the United
States.
    
 
   
     From fiscal 1993 through fiscal 1997, the Company's revenues grew,
primarily as a result of internal growth and the opening of nine new sales
offices, from $37.9 million to $69.6 million, representing a compound annual
growth rate of approximately 16%. Since August 1996, the Company has accelerated
its growth through the acquisition of the operations of 14 independent dealers,
a majority of the assets of Motorola's Radio Products Group rentals business and
substantially all of the assets of Condor. As a result, revenues for fiscal 1998
were $96.5 million, a 39% increase from revenues generated during the equivalent
period of the prior fiscal year. On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the
Condor Acquisition and the Other Acquisitions, the Company's revenues were
$149.1 million for fiscal 1998. Through its acquisitions, the Company has
expanded its operations into markets in which it previously had no presence,
increased its presence in certain other markets and significantly increased the
Company's customer base. The Company intends to make additional acquisitions to
establish a presence in new geographic areas and to enhance its presence in
existing markets. In pursuing such acquisitions, the Company typically seeks to
gain access to the acquired dealer's skills, experience and customer
relationships, while consolidating its fulfillment operations into existing
facilities.
    
 
     The Company's objective is to expand its position as the largest
independent distributor of two-way radios and related products in the world and
be the leading independent distributor in each market in which it serves. The
Company's strategy is to further develop its network of field offices by opening
and acquiring local operations, expand and enhance its catalog and export
operations, leverage its complementary distribution channels by expanding its
product and service offerings, and support such operations with rapid order
fulfillment and superior customer service and technical support. The Company
seeks to capitalize on its experience and reputation derived from more than 15
years of selling and marketing two-way radio products in executing its strategy
and addressing its market opportunity.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
     The Company's principal focus is selling, servicing and renting site-based
wireless communication products. While the Company is not aware of any
definitive industry data, the Company believes that the market for the sale,
rental and service of two-way radios and related products is in excess of $5
billion per year in the United States and an additional $5 billion per year
outside the United States. Site-based wireless communication products allow
teams of workers to have immediate voice communication over distances generally
ranging from a few hundred feet to up to three to five miles. The Company
believes that such communication can substantially enhance business
productivity. Unlike most other forms of wireless communication products,
site-based two-way radios require no air-time or subscriber charges and are
utilized almost exclusively in business applications. Individual radios
generally range in price from $200 to $1,000 based upon the size and features of
the unit. Depending on the application, users typically require from as a few as
two radios to as many as several hundred. Applications for site-based two way
radios span many industries. Common examples include:
 
     The plant manager of a manufacturing facility coordinates the activities of
     15 maintenance and repair employees across several buildings in a 150,000
     square foot industrial complex.
 
     The three-person staff of a law firm's MIS department communicates with one
     another across multiple floors of an office building to respond rapidly to
     service requests.
 
     The coordinators of a major sporting event require five independent systems
     (security, parking, parade, concession and press personnel) each requiring
     more than 100 radios communicating across a three-mile radius. The

     Growth in this segment of the wireless communications market has been
driven by several factors. The Company believes that the rapid emergence of
wireless communications technologies, including cellular and paging, has
increased the market acceptance and awareness of the benefits of two-way radios.
This, in turn, has resulted in the development of many new applications for
these products. In addition, as manufacturers of two-way radios have introduced
lower-priced two-way radio units with additional features and have significantly
expanded the marketing and distribution of these products, they have expanded
their appeal to a larger base of potential users who desire to communicate
within a limited geographic area without incurring airtime or subscriber
charges. Finally, as the result of abuse in their day-to-day usage, two-way
radios have a significant replacement demand. As the number of site-based radios
has increased, replacement demand has increased accordingly.
 
     The manufacturing of two-way radios is dominated by a small number of
companies including Motorola, Kenwood, Icom, Yaesu, Maxon, EF Johnson and
Standard each of which has developed a network of authorized dealers to augment
their internal direct sales forces. Over the past ten years, manufacturers have
strategically reduced the size of their direct sales forces, increasingly
relying on independent authorized dealers. The Company believes that an
increasing percentage of two-way radio products will continue to be sold through
independent dealers as manufacturers continue to outsource distribution and
other non-core functions. The Company believes that its worldwide distribution
capability enhances its relationships with suppliers which seek to support
fewer, but larger, dealer organizations and allows it to more effectively
compete for certain customers that have multiple locations around the country.

     The Company believes that Motorola has manufactured a majority of the
two-way radios currently in use in the world. For many years Motorola sold
virtually all its two-way products through a direct sales force and a small
number of full-line dealers. In calendar 1987, Motorola introduced its Radius
line of products to expand its share of the growing market for lower priced
two-way radio products. To market, sell and service these products, Motorola
developed an indirect distribution channel made up of hundreds of local dealers
across the United States, as well as export dealers that serve the rest of the
world. As the quality and size of the indirect distribution channel expanded,
Motorola substantially reduced the size of its direct sales force. Motorola
continues to have a sizable direct sales force which generally focuses on large
scale projects requiring a high level of engineering and significant investment
in equipment and infrastructure. Management estimates that approximately half of
Motorola's sales of site-based radios and equipment are made through its direct
sales force with the remainder being sold through dealers. The Company is the
largest independent distributor of Motorola two-way radios and believes that
Motorola's utilization of dealers will increase. In addition, the Company
believes that the growth in the number of Motorola's full-line dealers has
slowed significantly in recent years as Motorola has begun to limit the
availability of new dealer agreements in markets with an established group of
dealers.
 
     While manufacturing is highly concentrated, the distribution of two-way
radio products is highly fragmented. Dealers sell two-way radios to business
users principally through field offices and to a lesser extent through catalog
marketing. In any given metropolitan area there are generally several authorized
dealers serving local customers. A typical dealer has one or a few locations
covering a local or regional area and has revenues of under $5 million. In
addition, a small number of mail order companies market two-way radio products.
Like local dealers, these companies tend to be relatively small, with revenues
of less than $5 million. The Company's strategy is to capitalize on the
combination of its leadership position in both the field office and catalog
marketing channels and the highly fragmented nature of the two-way radio
distribution business by acquiring local dealerships and otherwise increasing
its market share in the two-way radio market. To the Company's knowledge, no
other distributor of two-way radios has a significant presence in each of the
Company's distribution channels.
 
     Other segments of the wireless communications industry include specialized
mobile radio, enhanced specialized mobile radio, satellite-based wireless
communications, paging, cellular telephone, PCS and wireless data products. The
Company believes that these segments of the wireless communication industry will
experience significant growth in the future. While the principal focus of the
Company historically has been on the sale and rental of two-way radios, the
Company's strategy is to increase its market share in these segments as and if
its channels of distribution allow it to efficiently distribute these products
to customers. In addition, the Company intends to capitalize on its position as
a leading distributor of products manufactured by Nextel Communications, Inc.
("Nextel"). See "-- Products and Services."
 
BUSINESS STRENGTHS
 
     The Company believes that the following factors have been of principal
importance in the success that it has achieved to date:
 
  MARKET LEADERSHIP IN MULTIPLE DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
 
          Wireless International is the largest independent distributor of
     two-way radios in the world, with leading positions in each of the field
     office, catalog marketing and export channels. The Company believes that it
     is the only significant distributor of two-way radios leveraging the
     strengths of these multiple channels of distribution. The Company believes
     that the combined strength of these channels provides it with broader
     access to its market than most of its competitors.
 
   
          Field Offices. The Company believes that field offices are essential
     to developing and maintaining customer relationships in local markets. The
     Company currently operates 32 field offices in the United States and two in
     Australia. These field offices employ approximately 170 sales and rental
     representatives who establish local customer relationships by providing
     on-site evaluation and technical assistance in selecting appropriate
     equipment for specific applications. Field sales representatives target
     local opportu-
    
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   30
 
     nities to both sell or rent the Company's products. The Company provides
     most administrative, order fulfillment and repair functions on a
     centralized basis to enhance the productivity of its field sales
     representatives by providing them with more time to focus on revenue
     generating activities.
 
   
          Catalog Operations. The Company markets directly to its existing and
     prospective domestic customers through frequent targeted mailings of
     product catalogs, brochures and other direct marketing pieces. In its 1998
     fiscal year, the Company mailed over 5.7 million direct marketing pieces.
     BearCom uses proprietary information systems to analyze the results of each
     mailing and to refine and segment its customer database and mailing lists.
     In addition, the Company has developed internal catalog production and
     mailing capabilities that facilitate flexible production runs and rapid
     cycle times. These capabilities enable the Company to target future
     mailings in a manner designed to enhance profitability and customer
     response.
    
 
          Export Operations. The Company markets internationally through Condor
     from its Miami, Florida office, as well as offices in Caracas, Venezuela
     and Prague, Czech Republic. Condor's customer base consists of dealers in
     over 75 countries, concentrated in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa
     and the Middle East. Since its founding in 1980, Condor has become the
     largest exporter of two-way radios from the United States.
 
  RENTAL MARKET EXPERTISE
 
          In the United States, the Company also rents two-way radios for use at
     sporting events, fairs, parades, conventions and other events, as well as
     in disaster recovery projects, motion picture productions and other
     projects. With a fleet of over 15,000 two-way radios for rent, BearCom
     believes it is the largest renter of two-way radios in the United States.
     In June 1997, the Company acquired a majority of the assets of Motorola's
     Radio Products Group rentals business, including certain inventory, its
     customer list and its toll-free telephone number. The Company generally
     achieves higher profit margins from rental units than from sales of
     comparable two-way radios. In addition, the Company believes that the
     rental market stimulates follow-on purchases of equipment as rental
     customers discover the value to their business of the various uses of these
     products. See "-- Customers."
 
  BREADTH OF PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMER SERVICES
 
   
          The Company attempts to satisfy its customers' two-way radio needs by
     offering products with a wide range of features from multiple manufacturers
     and a full range of technical support and repair capabilities. In its 1998
     fiscal year, the Company sold over 100 different models of two-way radios
     that were manufactured by more than ten different companies. These products
     span a wide array of functionality and price points. Unlike many of its
     smaller competitors, the Company maintains a substantial inventory of
     products to allow prompt order fulfillment in most cases. Prior to shipment
     to end users, the Company typically programs and adjusts frequencies in
     order to provide compatibility among the components of the customer's
     two-way system. The Company's service technicians test units prior to
     shipment and thus are able to discover and reduce product malfunctions
     before shipment. Nevertheless, most orders are processed and shipped on the
     same day they are received. The Company's service technicians also provide
     repair services for virtually all of the products the Company sells and in
     most cases perform repairs in less than 48 hours of receipt of the
     equipment. The Company's rapid order fulfillment and repair service
     capability differentiates it from many of its competitors. See "-- Products
     and Services."
    
 
  ECONOMIES OF SCALE, OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES
 
          As the largest independent distributor of two-way radio products, the
     Company believes that it enjoys numerous advantages over its smaller
     competitors. The Company performs most of its administrative and
     distribution activities for its domestic activities at its headquarters
     facility in Dallas and, for its export activities, in Miami. These
     activities include purchasing, credit and collections, catalog production,
     order entry and fulfillment, and management information systems development
     and operations. The
 
                                       29
<PAGE>   31
 
     Company spreads these costs over a greater volume of business than its
     smaller local and regional competitors and believes that in many cases it
     provides its customers with more consistent and higher levels of service.
     Finally, the Company believes that its global distribution capability
     enhances its relationships with suppliers which seek to support fewer, but
     larger, dealer organizations and allows it to more effectively compete for
     certain customers that have multiple locations.
 
GROWTH STRATEGY
 
     The Company's objective is to increase its market share in both the field
sales, catalog marketing and exporting of two-way radios and related products
and be the leading independent distributor in each market it serves. The
Company's strategy is to further develop its global network of field offices by
opening and acquiring field offices in new markets, expand and enhance its
catalog operations, leverage these complementary distribution channels by
broadening its product and service offerings, and support its operations by
providing consistent administrative, distribution, customer service and
technical support functions on a centralized basis. The key elements of its
strategy are as follows:
 
  ACQUIRE AND OPEN OFFICES IN NEW MARKETS
 
   
          The Company seeks to continue to develop a global network of field
     offices to provide the local service that is essential to developing and
     maintaining customer relationships. Currently, the Company has 32 field
     offices in the United States, 27 of which are located in the 50 largest
     metropolitan statistical areas in the United States. The Company intends to
     pursue opportunities to add field offices in top 100 metropolitan
     statistical areas in the United States. In addition, the Company currently
     has two field offices in Australia and distribution offices in Miami,
     Florida, Caracas, Venezuela and Prague, Czech Republic, and may selectively
     pursue expansion into other international markets. The Company plans to
     enter new markets primarily by acquiring existing operations of local and
     regional dealers, but also by opening new field offices. From fiscal 1993
     to fiscal 1997, the Company grew primarily as a result of internal growth
     and the opening of nine new sales offices. Since August 1996, the Company
     has accelerated its growth through the acquisition of the operations of 14
     independent dealers, a majority of the assets of Motorola's Radio Products
     Group rentals business and substantially all of the assets of Condor. The
     Company believes that industry fundamentals and outsourcing trends by
     manufacturers will lead to a consolidation of independent dealers, and that
     its position as the largest independent dealer will allow it to continue to
     acquire local authorized dealers and expand its national presence. In
     pursuing acquisitions, the Company typically seeks to gain immediate access
     to the acquired dealer's customer base, while consolidating its order
     fulfillment operations into existing facilities.
    
 
  EXPAND AND ENHANCE CATALOG OPERATIONS
 
   
          Management believes that its catalog operations represent an efficient
     and complementary distribution channel to its growing network of field
     offices. During fiscal 1998, BearCom mailed over 5.7 million catalogs and
     marketing pieces and processed over 300,000 inbound calls. BearCom uses
     proprietary software to analyze the results of each mailing and enhance
     customer response. In addition, BearCom has developed internal catalog
     production and mailing capabilities that facilitate flexible production
     runs and rapid cycle times. BearCom has made significant investments to
     establish its leading position in the catalog marketing of two-way radios
     and believes that its existing catalog operations can support higher sales
     volumes without incurring significantly higher fixed costs.
    
 
  EXPAND PRODUCT AND SERVICE OFFERINGS
 
          The Company strives to expand its product offering to include
     complementary products and services that meet the needs of its customers.
     In addition to its broad offering of two-way radios, the Company currently
     sells closed circuit television systems ("CCTV"), aviation transceivers,
     Orbacom console systems, and products and services based on other wireless
     technologies, such as Nextel handsets and services, PageMart pagers and
     services, and Motorola messaging systems. The Company began selling Nextel
     equipment and service in fiscal 1998 and believes it has become a leading
     independent activator of
                                       30
<PAGE>   32
 
     this service. In January 1998, the Company entered into a three year
     agreement with Iridium U.S., L.P. ("Iridium") to nationally market its
     satellite-based communications products and services in selected sales
     channels beginning in fiscal 1999. The Company intends to continue to
     broaden its product offering and may also explore acquiring companies with
     complementary product lines that the Company believes could be efficiently
     distributed to its customers.
 
  EXPAND RENTAL AND REPAIR ACTIVITIES
 
   
          The Company believes that its ability to offer responsive two-way
     radio rental and repair services enhances its customer relationships. The
     Company currently maintains a rental fleet of over 15,000 two-way radios
     and staffs each office with employees dedicated to local rental
     opportunities. In addition, the Company repairs two-way radios from all of
     its significant suppliers. Most repair services are performed in the
     Company's Dallas and Houston facilities and are typically completed within
     48 hours of receipt. Revenues from rental and repair activities have
     increased as a percentage of total revenues from approximately 13.0% in
     fiscal 1995 to approximately 18.2% in fiscal 1998. The Company generally
     achieves higher profit margins from these activities than from the sale of
     its products. To date, most rentals have been to customers in the United
     States. The Company intends to expand its rental and repair activities in
     international markets.
    
 
  INCREASE PENETRATION IN EXISTING MARKETS
 
          The Company believes that there are significant opportunities to
     further penetrate existing markets. By centralizing administrative,
     fulfillment and other support functions and by encouraging customers to
     order replacement parts and other routine items directly through the
     Company's toll-free number, management seeks to enhance the productivity of
     its field sales force by providing them with time to focus on more
     significant revenue-generating activities. In addition, the Company uses
     its catalog database to identify quality sales leads that could benefit
     from higher-end or more sophisticated systems. Finally, as certain of its
     existing markets mature, the Company intends to add sales representatives
     and/or acquire other dealers in existing markets to gain new customers and
     better service existing accounts.
 
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
 
   
     The Company believes that its ability to offer a broad line of products and
services is instrumental to its success. The Company seeks to offer products
with a wide range of features and price points from multiple manufacturers,
along with a full range of technical support and repair services. In its 1998
fiscal year, the Company sold over 100 different models of two-way radios that
were manufactured by more than ten different companies. The Company also sells
other wireless communication products, including two-way radio accessories,
pagers and accessories, cellular phone accessories and aviation transceivers, as
well as related products like CCTV and Orbacom console systems. In fiscal 1998,
equipment sales accounted for 79% of the Company's revenues.
    
 
   
     On September 1, 1997, the Company began marketing wireless equipment and
services of Nextel on a national basis, and believes that it has become one of
the largest independent activators of such services. Under its marketing
agreement, the Company sells Nextel handsets at the Company's cost and receives
an activation fee for each handset sold, as well as a percentage of the monthly
service charge per handset for a defined period. The terms and fees of the
agreement can be altered without the consent of the Company.
    
 
     On January 26, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Iridium to
become a dealer of Iridium handsets and service within the land mobile radio
market in the United States. Iridium has publicly announced September 1998 as
its anticipated date for commencing service. However, there can be no assurance
as to the eventual timing and impact of this agreement on the Company's
operating results.

     BearCom rents two-way radios and other wireless communication products,
primarily through its field offices. In fiscal 1998, rentals accounted for
approximately 11.7% of the Company's revenues. The Company maintains a fleet of
over 15,000 rental units, which are used in connection with sporting events,
conventions, disaster recovery projects, motion picture productions and other
events where wireless communication equipment is needed for a period of time
that would not justify the cost of purchasing such products. The rental market
for wireless communication products is seasonal, with rental demand being
greatest during the summer months, or at other peak times of the year in warm
weather climates. The Company believes that the rental market stimulates sales
of these products as rental customers discover the value to their businesses of
the various uses of these products.
    
 
   
     The Company repairs two-way radios of leading manufacturers. In fiscal
1998, repair revenue accounted for approximately 6.5% of the Company's revenues.
In October 1997, the Company acquired a dealer in Houston, Texas which is an
authorized service provider of Motorola two-way radios, including warranty and
non-warranty repair services. In the case of units under a manufacturer's
warranty, the Company collects predetermined repair fees directly from the
manufacturer. For non-warranty repairs, the Company bills the customer for
repair charges. Such repair charges are billed on a time and materials basis or,
in certain instances, on a flat rate schedule agreed to in advance. The Company
typically completes and ships repaired units within 48 hours of their receipt.
The Company's primary service and repair operations are located at its
facilities in Dallas and Houston, with limited repairs being performed at 15 of
the Company's field offices. The Company's technicians repair products sold both
by the Company and by others. The Company believes that its ability to repair
products is important to its customers.
    
 
PURCHASING
 
     The Company purchases its products directly from manufacturers of wireless
communication products. Brand names sold by the Company include, among others,
Motorola, Maxon, Icom, Tekk and Orbacom.
 
                                       32

Equipment revenues generated by the sale of products purchased from the
Company's two largest vendors, Motorola and Maxon, constituted approximately 73%
and 12%, respectively, of the Company's revenues during fiscal 1997, and 66% and
7%, respectively, of the Company's equipment revenues during fiscal 1998. As is
customary in the industry, the Company does not have long-term contracts with
any of its vendors, including Motorola and Maxon. Although the Company and its
suppliers enter into written vendor agreements to effect purchases, such
agreements generally can be canceled by either party at will. The Company's
licenses pursuant to these agreements, including those from Motorola, are not
exclusive. The Company is licensed to sell Motorola products in each market
where it maintains a sales office. Termination of the Company's relationship
with Motorola or any other significant manufacturers would have a material
adverse effect on the Company. The Company is not required to be licensed to
rent Motorola products in any market. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on
Vendors."
    
 
CUSTOMERS
 
   
     BearCom's customers range from small businesses to large organizations and
governmental agencies, while Condor's customers generally are dealers, which in
turn sell to similar end users. Since the beginning of fiscal 1997, BearCom sold
products to over 90% of the Fortune 100 companies and Condor sold products to
dealers in approximately 75 countries. In fiscal 1998, over 80% of the Company's
revenues were from repeat customers. No customer of the Company accounted for
more than 2% of the Company's revenues in fiscal 1998. Set forth below are
selected customers that have purchased or rented products from the Company since
the beginning of fiscal 1997.

SALES AND MARKETING
 
   
     Overview. BearCom Group markets its products and services through both its
field offices, catalog operations and export operations. For fiscal 1998, field
offices, catalog operations and export operations generated approximately 63%,
28% and 5%, respectively, of the Company's overall revenues. The remaining 4%
was attributable to the Company's repair and rental distribution operations in
Dallas. On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the Condor Acquisition and the
Other Acquisitions, field offices, catalog operations and export operations
represented approximately 44%, 18% and 35%, respectively, of revenues during
fiscal 1998. The Company believes that the combined strength of these channels
provides it with broader access to its market than most of its competitors. The
Company also rents two-way radios and other wireless communication products.
Through its approximately 170 person field sales and rental force, the Company
services customers requiring on-site evaluation of their needs and provides the
technical assistance to help them select the appropriate equipment for their
specific applications. For customers not requiring this consultative approach
(usually when system needs are relatively uncomplicated or purchases are add-on
or replacement units to an existing system), the catalog marketing channel
provides customers an efficient and cost-effective method of purchasing
products.
    
 
     The Company attempts to use the combination of its distribution channels to
attract new customers and stimulate additional purchases by previous customers.
The Company seeks to attract new customers by expanding the reach of its sales
representatives, selectively mailing catalogs to prospective customers,
advertising in the Yellow Pages and trade publications, and exhibiting at
industry trade shows. The Company seeks to stimulate purchases by previous
customers by both personal contact and direct mail. The Company provides product
and sales training to its field sales, rentals, catalog marketing and export
sales forces in an effort to employ a knowledgeable workforce.
 
   
     Field Offices. The Company currently maintains 32 field offices in the
United States and two in Australia, primarily in major metropolitan areas.
Typically, the Company's field office staff is comprised of a branch manager,
three to seven sales representatives and a rental coordinator. Sales
representatives are compensated by salary as well as commission and incentive
bonuses based on predetermined sales quotas. BearCom emphasizes
"need-satisfaction selling," training its sales representatives to identify the
specific communications needs of the customer and to sell products that will
satisfy those needs. The Company encourages its field sales customers to utilize
the Company's toll-free number to purchase replacement parts and other routine
items so that sales representatives may devote their efforts to selling products
to new customers and more sophisticated products to existing customers. The
Company monitors and adjusts its field sales compensation plan periodically to
insure its competitiveness and continuously seeks to improve its support
functions so that field sales representatives can maximize the results of their
marketing efforts.
    
 
     BearCom also maintains a dedicated rental representative at each field
office. The Company has a fleet of over 15,000 rental units throughout the
United States to satisfy its customers' short-term two-way radio needs. The
Company maintains a constant inventory of rental units at each of its sales
offices to meet its customers' immediate rental needs. The remainder of the
Company's rental fleet is maintained at the Company's Dallas headquarters
facilities. Because the Company has sales offices throughout the United States,
the Company is able to efficiently transfer rental units among its sales offices
in order to meet anticipated rental demand. Prior to a rental order being
filled, the Company programs and tests each unit and ensures that it is equipped
with a fresh battery. For large rental orders, the Company provides on-site
technical personnel. The Company maintains a 24-hour emergency telephone number
for use by all rental customers to remedy operational problems if they occur.
All rental units are checked and serviced upon return to the Company prior to
being returned to the rental inventory.
 
   
     Catalog Marketing. BearCom also markets its products through the direct
mailing of catalogs, brochures and other direct marketing pieces. The Company
mailed over 5.7 million catalogs and brochures during fiscal 1998 and received
over 300,000 inbound calls, resulting in sales to customers in all 50 states.
BearCom augments its own proprietary mailing lists by selectively renting and
purchasing third-party mailing lists from time to time. BearCom uses proprietary
information systems to refine and segment its customer database and mailing
lists. These procedures enable the Company to target future mailings in a manner
designed to enhance profitability and customer response.
    
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   36
 
     BearCom produces its own catalogs and marketing brochures through its art
department, using desktop publishing systems. These catalogs and brochures are
printed by a small number of national printers and shipped to the Company's
Dallas facility. BearCom has its own mail production department. The mail
production process is managed by BearCom's IBM AS-400 computer so that the mail
is processed to take advantage of the lowest postal rates available. See
"-- Management Information System." By having its own mail facility, BearCom has
the capability to process runs as small as a few thousand pieces or as large as
several million pieces with rapid cycle times and still maintain a
cost-effective direct marketing program.
 
     The Company employs catalog sales representatives who staff the Company's
toll-free telephone line, process orders and answer technical questions from
7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Central Time. The catalog operations rely almost
exclusively on inbound sales. While processing orders, sales representatives
have access, through BearCom's management information system, to technical
information, alternate and complementary product selections, product
availability and pricing information and customer purchasing and credit
histories. The sales representatives are experienced in the sale of wireless
communication products, are knowledgeable of the Company's products and strive
to assist customers in fulfilling their wireless communication needs.
 
     Export Operations. The Company markets internationally through Condor from
its Miami, Florida office, as well as offices in Caracas, Venezuela and Prague,
Czech Republic. Condor's customer base consists of dealers in over 75 countries,
concentrated in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Since
its founding in 1980, Condor has become the largest exporter of two-way radios
from the United States.
 
OPERATIONS
 
   
     Order Fulfillment. The Company keeps a sufficient inventory of products
available in its Dallas headquarters and Miami facilities so that it typically
can ship orders directly to customers on the same day the order is received.
Once a purchase order is accepted by the Company and the products are retrieved
from inventory, the products normally require some technical service before
being delivered to the customer. For example, radio frequencies may need to be
coordinated or ancillary equipment may need to be added to a system. All
products are tested prior to shipment. After testing, BearCom's delivery
department packs the products and ships them to the customer via United Parcel
Service, Federal Express or other common carriers from BearCom's distribution
facility in Dallas. During fiscal 1998, the Company shipped an average of over
15,000 transactions per month. With respect to sales by Condor, products
generally are drop-shipped by the manufacturer directly to customers in Eastern
Europe, while customers in Latin American generally take title to products at
Condor's Miami facility.
    
 
     Inventory Management. The Company believes that effective purchasing and
inventory control are key elements to its ability to fill customer orders. The
Company maintains an inventory management system which analyzes historical sales
results, sales projections and information regarding vendor lead times in order
to determine appropriate inventory levels. Historically, the Company has not
written-down significant portions of its inventories due to shrinkage or
obsolescence, nor has it relied on its ability to return slow-moving inventory
to the vendor. There can be no assurance that material write-downs of the
Company's inventory will not occur in the future. See "Risk
Factors -- Technological Change."
 
   
     Credit and Collection Management; Product Returns. BearCom attempts to
minimize losses on credit sales by closely monitoring its customers'
creditworthiness, using both internal credit histories as well as CD-ROM and
on-line services from Dun & Bradstreet. Collection activities are conducted by
using outbound phone calls from the Company's Dallas and Miami facilities.
BearCom's bad debt expense as a percentage of total revenues for fiscal 1996,
1997 and 1998 was 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.9%, respectively. Condor's bad debt expense
as a percentage of total revenues for calender 1995, 1996 and 1997 was 1.5%,
1.4% and 1.4%, respectively. The Company follows the industry practice of
allowing customers to return products within 30 days, so long as the products
have not been damaged.
    
 
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
 
     The use of BearCom's IBM AS-400 computer system is pervasive in the
operation of its business. The Company has invested substantial resources to
develop proprietary software applications enabling BearCom to compile and
maintain its marketing database, track customer repair histories, manage its
inventory, maintain
 
                                       35
<PAGE>   37
 
its accounting records and track credit and collection activities. BearCom
believes that these applications enable it to deliver superior customer service
and achieve cost savings. Each of BearCom's sales offices has a continuous
on-line connection to BearCom's computer system to support the sales efforts of
its field sales representatives. Condor utilizes a PC-based management
information system. The Company has no immediate plans to integrate this system
with BearCom's. The Company has adopted procedures to protect its computer
systems and to provide for recovery in the event of equipment failure. All
system data is backed up to tape daily with backup tapes stored off-site.
 
COMPETITION
 
   
     The two-way radio distribution industry is highly competitive and is
currently comprised of several regional and numerous local dealers, some of
which compete with the Company in both the sale and rental markets. The
principal bases of competition in the industry are price and service. The sale
of two-way radios is a low-margin, high-volume business. Because awareness of
two-way wireless communication products is growing and the cost barriers to
entry into this market are relatively low, the risk of new competitors entering
this market is high. The Company believes that the industry will become more
competitive as the number of competitors increases and as new technologies
emerge. These factors, coupled with the growing industry emphasis on containing
costs, could place significant pressure on the Company to reduce prices, which
could significantly reduce the gross margins realized by the Company on sales of
its products.
    
 
     In addition, several manufacturers of two-way radio products, including
Motorola, also compete with independent distributors in selling, servicing and
renting two-way wireless communication products. There can be no assurance that
manufacturers of two-way radio products will continue to utilize independent
distributors in the future. In addition, there are several significantly large
global distributors of wireless communication products other than two-way
radios. These companies to date have not entered the two-way radio distribution
market in any significant way, but there can be no assurance that these
companies will not enter this industry in the future. These manufacturers and
distributors are much larger than the Company, and have substantially greater
capital resources, sales experience and distribution capabilities than the
Company. In response to competitive pressure from any of its current or future
competitors, the Company may be required to lower selling prices, which would
lower the Company's gross margins, which could have a material adverse effect on
the Company. See "Risk Factors -- Competition."
 
EMPLOYEES
 
   
     As of June 1, 1998, BearCom had 484 employees, of whom 77 were corporate
employees, 168 were sales or rental managers or sales or rental representatives,
42 were shipping and distribution personnel, 25 were catalog distribution
employees, 100 were service technicians and 72 were in various other positions.
As of June 1, 1998, Condor employed 61 employees of which 14 were sales
representatives, 12 were shipping and distribution personnel, 10 were service
technicians and 25 were in various other positions. The Company's success is
dependent on its ability to attract and retain good employees. The Company
believes that its employee relations are good. The Company's employees are not
covered by any collective bargaining agreements.
    
 
PROPERTIES
 
   
     The Company leases its approximately 37,000 square foot headquarters
facility (which includes its warehousing facility, product distribution center
and a field office) and its approximately 10,000 square foot mail distribution
center, each of which is located in Dallas, Texas. The terms of these leases
expire in January 1999 and the Company has options to extend the headquarters
facility lease for two additional one year periods. In addition, the Company
leases 32 locations as field offices and owns one sales office in Houston,
Texas. As a result of the Condor Acquisition, the Company owns its approximately
15,000 square foot Miami, Florida office and distribution facility, as well as
its offices in Caracas, Venezuela and Prague, Czech Republic. See
"Management -- Certain Transactions."

STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
   
     Pursuant to the BearCom Group, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock
Option Plan"), options may be granted to eligible employees of the Company or
its subsidiaries and directors of the Company for the purchase of an aggregate
of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company. Employees eligible under the
Stock Option Plan are those employees whose performance and responsibilities are
determined by the Board or a committee selected by the Board in accordance with
the terms of the Stock Option Plan (the "Committee") to be influential to the
Company's success. The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board or the
Committee which determines, in its discretion, the terms of each option in
accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, including the number of
shares subject to each option granted, the related exercise price, the vesting
period and vesting conditions, and option period. The Board or the Committee may
grant either nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options ("ISOs"), as
defined by the Code; provided, however, that ISOs may be granted only to
employees.
    
 
     The Stock Option Plan requires that the exercise price of each option that
is intended to constitute an ISO must not be less than 100% of the fair market
value of the Common Stock at the time of the grant of the option. The option
period may not be more than ten years from the date the option is granted. No
ISO, however, may be granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company or its
subsidiaries unless the option price is at least 110% of the fair market value
of the Common Stock at the date of the grant and the option period does not
exceed five years. Options may be exercised in annual installments as specified
by the Board or the Committee, and all
                                       39
<PAGE>   41
 
installments that become exercisable are cumulative and may be exercised at any
time after they become exercisable until expiration of the option. Options are
not assignable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
 
     There is no limit on the fair market value of options that may be granted
to an employee in any calendar year, but no employee may be granted ISOs that
first become exercisable during a calendar year for the purchase of stock with
an aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date of grant of each
option) in excess of $100,000. An ISO (or an installment thereof) counts against
the annual limitations only in the year it first becomes exercisable.
 
   
     Full payment for shares purchased upon exercise of an option must be made
at the time of exercise, and no shares may be issued until full payment is made.
The Stock Option Plan provides that an option agreement may include a provision
permitting an optionee the right to tender previously owned shares of Common
Stock in partial or full payment for shares to be purchased on exercise of an
option. Unless sooner terminated by action of the Board, the Stock Option Plan
will terminate in June 2008 and no options may thereafter be granted under the
Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan may be discontinued, altered or amended
in certain respects by the Board without the approval of the shareholders.
However, the Stock Option Plan may not be amended without the approval of the
shareholders (i) to materially increase benefits, (ii) to materially increase
the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Stock Option
Plan or (iii) to materially modify the requirements for participation in the
Stock Option Plan.
    
 
   
     Prior to the date hereof, options to purchase 406,000 shares had been
granted at the Offering price to certain directors, key employees and officers
of the Company. Each director and executive officer of the Company has been
granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock.
    
 
   
STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
    
 
   
     The Company's 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock Purchase Plan")
authorizes the issuance of up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock
to participating employees. The Company may make one or more offerings ("Plan
Offerings") to employees to purchase Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Plan.
Plan Offerings may be for a period of six months or one year in duration and may
commence on January 1 and/or July 1; provided, however, that the initial Plan
Offering period may be for a period of less than six months. During each Plan
Offering, the maximum number of shares which may be purchased by a participating
employee from the shares available for purchase under Stock Purchase Plan for
the Plan Offering period, subject to restrictions contained in the Code and
adjustments made due to over-allotments by participating employees, is a number
of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the employee's base compensation
elected by the employee to be withheld each pay period during the Plan Offering
divided by the purchase price per share of the shares available for purchase
under the Stock Purchase Plan for the Plan Offering period. An employee may
elect to have up to 10% deducted from his or her base salary for this purpose.
The purchase price shall be the lower of (i) 85% of the closing price of the
Common Stock on the NYSE on the day that the Plan Offering commences or (ii) 85%
of the closing price on the NYSE on the day that the Plan Offering terminates,
or if the closing price is not reported on either or both of such dates, the
exercise price shall be determined by reference to the most recently preceding
date on which the closing price was reported.
    
 
   
     The Stock Purchase Plan is administered by the Board or a committee
selected by the Board in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Plan.
With certain exceptions, all eligible employees regularly employed by the
Company for at least ninety days on the applicable Plan Offering commencement
date are eligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase
Plan is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" as defined in
Section 423 of the Code.
    
 
EXCULPATORY CHARTER PROVISION; LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND
DIRECTORS
 
     Texas law permits Texas corporations to include in their articles of
incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting director liability to a
corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages arising from acts or
omissions in the director's capacity as a director. The only limitations imposed
under the statute are that the
 
                                       40
<PAGE>   42
 
   
provision may not eliminate or limit a director's liability to the extent the
director is found liable for (a) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its shareholders, (b) an act or omission not in good faith
that constitutes a breach of duty of the director to the corporation or an act
or omission that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the
law, (c) a transaction from which the director received an improper benefit,
whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the
director's office or (d) an act or omission for which the liability of a
director is expressly provided by an applicable statute. The Company's Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation contain a provision eliminating the
liability of the Company's directors to the fullest extent permitted by Texas
statutory or decisional law, as the same exists or as it may be amended or
interpreted from time to time.
    
 
   
     In addition, the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws require it to
indemnify its directors and officers against any and all liability and
reasonable expense that may be incurred by them in connection with or resulting
from (a) any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, (b) an
appeal on such an action, suit or proceeding or (c) an inquiry or investigation
that could lead to such an action, suit or proceeding, all to the fullest extent
permitted by Texas law.
    
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
   
     On April 15, 1998, the Board established a compensation committee,
consisting of Messrs. Watson, Rose and Topfer. Mr. Watson is the Chairman of the
Board of the Company.
    
 
   
     On December 1, 1995, the Company lent to Mr. Watson $933,300, the proceeds
of which Mr. Watson used to exercise a stock option that the Company had granted
in April 1992. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at 7%
and is payable in May 1999. In addition, during fiscal years 1993, 1995 and
1996, the Company made cash advances to Mr. Watson aggregating $452,200. These
advances are evidenced by four separate promissory notes, each bearing interest
at 7% and payable in May 1999. The greatest aggregate amount of principal and
interest outstanding under these five promissory notes during fiscal years 1996,
1997 and 1998 was $1,492,596, $1,589,581 and $1,686,566, respectively. Amounts
outstanding under all five notes are secured by 142,746 shares of Common Stock
held by Mr. Watson. At May 31, 1998, the aggregate amount of principal and
interest outstanding under these five promissory notes was approximately $1.7
million. Mr. Watson has indicated that he intends to repay all amounts
outstanding under these five promissory notes with the proceeds from the sale of
shares of Common Stock to be sold by him in the Offering.
    
 
   
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
    
 
   
     On April 28, 1995, the Company sold land and a building to Gary Weber, Vice
President of the Company, in exchange for a note receivable of $325,000 bearing
interest at 9%. The purchase price for the land and building was established
through discussions with real estate agents and potential third-party
purchasers. The note and accrued interest are due on April 28, 2000 and are
secured by a first lien on the property. At that time, the Company agreed to
reduce the outstanding balance of the note, and related accrued interest, by 20%
per year as long as Mr. Weber stays in the employment of the Company. As a
result, the note receivable and related interest are being charged to
compensation expense over a five-year period. At May 31, 1998, the outstanding
balance of the note was $125,000.
    
 
   
     The Company rents its Costa Mesa, California, office from a partnership
controlled by Jerry Denham, Kenneth H. Doll and Brent A. Bisnar, executive
officers of the Company. Total rental payments to this partnership were
$112,816, $94,740 and $64,740 for the years ended April 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively. Bear Communications guaranteed payment of two promissory notes
that are secured by this property and were issued in connection with the
partnership's purchase of this property. The aggregate amount outstanding under
these notes was approximately $820,000 at May 31, 1998. It is anticipated that
this partnership will pay all amounts outstanding under these notes with the
proceeds from shares of Common Stock to be sold in the Offering by certain
partners.

     On March 31, 1998, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Condor Holdings,
acquired substantially all of the assets of Condor Communications. Rogelio R.
Betancourt and his spouse are the sole shareholders of Condor Communications. In
connection with this transaction, Mr. Betancourt became the President of Condor
Holdings. See "The Company."

     The following table sets forth certain information concerning the
beneficial ownership of Common Stock, as of April 30, 1998, by (a) each person
known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding Common
Stock, (b) each director of the Company, (c) each Named Executive Officer and
(d) all executive officer and directors as a group. The Company believes that
each such shareholder has the sole voting and dispositive power over the shares
held by such shareholder except as otherwise indicated. See "Risk

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
   
     The Company has authorized capital stock consisting of 50,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $0.01 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01
par value. At April 30, 1998, there were 6,669,515 shares of Common Stock
outstanding, owned by 21 holders of record, and there were no shares of
preferred stock outstanding. A total of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock are
reserved for future issuance under, and for issuance upon the exercise of
options granted or which may be granted under, the Stock Option Plan. See
"Management -- Stock Option Plan." A total of 500,000 shares of Common Stock are
reserved for issuance under the Stock Purchase Plan. See "Management -- Stock
Purchase Plan."
    
 
COMMON STOCK
 
     The rights of the holder of each share of Common Stock are identical in all
respects. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares of Common
Stock offered hereby when issued and paid for will be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable. All holders of Common Stock have full voting rights and are
entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a
vote of the shareholders. Votes may not be cumulated in the election of
directors. Shareholders have no preemptive or subscription rights. The Common
Stock is neither redeemable nor convertible, and there are no sinking fund
provisions. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available therefor and are
entitled, upon liquidation, to share ratably in all assets remaining after
payment of liabilities. The rights of holders of Common Stock will be subject to
any preferential rights of any preferred stock which may be issued in the
future.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The Board of Directors of the Company is authorized (without any further
action by the shareholders) to issue preferred stock in one or more series and
to fix the voting rights, liquidation preferences, dividend rates, conversion
rights, redemption rights and terms, including sinking fund provisions, and
certain other rights and preferences. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences
of outstanding preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for
the payment of dividends on Common Stock. Also, holders of preferred stock would
normally be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company before any payment is made
to the holders of Common Stock. In addition, under certain circumstances, the
issuance of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a
merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of
a large block of the Company's securities or the removal of incumbent
management. The Board of Directors of the Company, without shareholder approval,
may issue preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could
adversely affect the holders of Common Stock. The Company has no present
intention to issue any shares of preferred stock.
 
SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND
AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS
 
     The provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws summarized in the succeeding
paragraphs may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or
prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in
such shareholder's best interest, including attempts that might result in a
premium over the market price for the shares held by shareholders.
 
     Pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation,
the Company's Board of Directors by resolution may establish one or more series
of preferred stock having such number of shares, designations, relative voting
rights, dividend rates, liquidation and other rights, preferences and
limitations as may be fixed by the Board of Directors without any further
shareholder approval. Such rights, preferences, powers and limitations as may be
established could have the effect of impending or discouraging the acquisition
of control of the Company.
 
   
     The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and/or Amended
and Restated Bylaws provide that (a) the Board of Directors is divided into
three classes that are elected for staggered three-year terms; (b) shareholders
may only remove a director for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of
holders of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the
Company; and (c) meetings of shareholders can
    
 
                                       43
<PAGE>   45
 
be called only by the Chairman of the Board, President, a majority of the Board
of Directors or holders of not less than 25% of the shares entitled to vote at
such meeting. To be amended, these provisions require the affirmative vote of a
majority of the Board of Directors or the holders of not less than two-thirds of
the outstanding voting stock of the Company.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
     The Company has granted to all of its shareholders the right to register
shares of Common Stock owned by them in connection with the registration by the
Company of shares of Common Stock. The Company would bear the expenses of
registration of any such shareholder. See "Risk Factors -- Shares Eligible for
Future Sale; Registration Rights."
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
     The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
   
     Upon completion of this Offering, the current shareholders of the Company
will own approximately 61.7% of the outstanding Common Stock (58.4% if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). Officers, directors
and certain shareholders of the Company, who will own 48.7% of the outstanding
shares following this offering (46.1% if the Underwriters' over-allotment option
is exercised in full), have agreed with the Underwriters not to sell, grant any
option to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any
shares of Common Stock (other than those being sold pursuant to this offering)
for a period of 180 days following the date of this Prospectus without the prior
written consent of DLJ. See "Underwriting."
    
 
   
     Upon completion of this offering, the Company will have 10,002,515 shares
of Common Stock outstanding (10,566,365 shares if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full). Of these shares, the 3,759,000
shares sold in this offering (4,322,850 shares if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be freely tradeable in the
public market without restriction by persons other than affiliates of the
Company. All of the remaining shares are "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Approximately 1,367,471 shares
held for more than two years may be sold immediately following consummation of
the Offering. Following the expiration or release from the 180-day lock-up
agreements with the representatives of the Underwriters, approximately 4,799,238
additional shares of Common Stock will be eligible for sale in accordance with
the requirements of Rule 144, subject to compliance with certain volume
limitations. See "Underwriting."
    
 
   
     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons
whose shares are required to be aggregated) who has beneficially owned, for at
least one year, shares of Common Stock that have not been registered under the
Securities Act or that were acquired from an "affiliate" of the Company, is
entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares of Common
Stock that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then-outstanding shares of
Common Stock (100,025 shares upon completion of this Offering) and the average
weekly reported trading volume in the Common Stock during the four calendar
weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 also are subject to certain
notice and manner-of-sale requirements and the availability of current public
information about the Company. A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated)
who is not an affiliate of the Company (in general, a person who is not a
director, officer or principal shareholder of the Company) during the three
months prior to resale and who has beneficially owned such shares for at least
two years is entitled to sell such restricted stock under Rule 144 without
regard to the requirements discussed above, other than the manner-of-sale
provisions.
    
 
     The Company is unable to estimate the number of shares that may be sold in
the future by its shareholders since this will depend on the market price for
the Common Stock, the personal circumstances of the shareholders and other
factors. Any sale of substantial amounts of shares in the open market may
significantly reduce the market price of the Common Stock offered hereby.

     The Company intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the
Securities Act to register all of the shares of Common Stock issued or reserved
for future issuance under the Stock Option Plan and the Stock Purchase Plan.
After the effective date of those registration statements, shares purchased upon
exercise of options granted pursuant to those plans will be available for resale
in the public market without restriction by persons who are not affiliates of
the Company, and to the extent they are held by affiliates, pursuant to Rule
144, without observance of the holding period requirements. As of the date
hereof, there were options outstanding under the Stock Option Plan to purchase a
total of 406,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 21,480 are presently
exercisable.

     The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters to purchase and accept delivery of the shares of Common Stock
offered are subject to approval by their counsel of certain legal matters and to
certain other conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to purchase and accept
delivery of all shares of Common Stock offered hereby (other than shares covered
by the over-allotment option described below) if any are purchased.
 
     The Company and the Selling Shareholders have agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be
required to make in respect thereof.
 
     The Representatives have advised the Company that the Underwriters propose
initially to offer the shares of Common Stock in part directly to the public at
the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus
and in part to certain dealers (including the Underwriters) at such price less a
concession not in excess of $          per share. The Underwriters may allow,
and such dealers may reallow, to certain other dealers a concession not in
excess of $          per share. After the initial offering of the Common Stock,
the public offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the
Representatives at any time without notice. The Underwriters do not intend to
confirm sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.
 
                                       45

     The Company has granted an option to the Underwriters, exercisable within
30 days after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase, from time to time, in
whole or in part, up to an aggregate of 563,850 additional shares of Common
Stock at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and
commissions. The Underwriters may exercise such option solely to cover
overallotments, if any, made in connection with the Offering. To the extent that
the Underwriters exercise such option, each Underwriter will become obligated,
subject to certain conditions, to purchase its pro rata share of such additional
shares based on such Underwriter's percentage underwriting commitment as
indicated in the preceding table.
    
 
     Each of the Company, its executive officers and directors and certain
shareholders of the Company (including the Selling Shareholders) has agreed,
subject to certain exceptions, not to (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell,
sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to
sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) enter
into any swap or other arrangement that transfers all or a portion of the
economic consequences associated with the ownership of any Common Stock
(regardless of whether any of the transactions described in clause (i) or (ii)
is to be settled by the delivery of Common Stock, or such other securities, in
cash or otherwise) for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus
without the prior written consent of DLJ. In addition, during such period, the
Company has also agreed not to file any registration statement with respect to,
and each of its executive officers, directors and certain shareholders of the
Company (including the Selling Shareholders) has agreed not to make any demand
for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of
Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for Common Stock without DLJ's prior written consent.
 
     Prior to the Offering, there has been no established trading market for the
Common Stock. The initial public offering price for the shares offered hereby
will be determined by negotiation among the Company representatives of the
Selling Shareholders and the Representatives. The factors to be considered in
determining the initial public offering price include the history of and the
prospects for the industry in which the Company competes, the past and present

the prospects for future earnings of the Company, the recent market prices of
securities of generally comparable companies and the general condition of the

     The Common Stock has been approved for listing on the NYSE under the
trading symbol "BCG." The Underwriters have undertaken to sell shares of Common
Stock to ensure that the NYSE distribution standards relating to round lots,
public shares and aggregate market value will be satisfied.
    
 
     Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by the Company,
the Selling Shareholders or the Underwriters that would permit a public offering
of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby in any jurisdiction where action
for that purpose is required. The shares of Common Stock offered hereby may not
be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this Prospectus or any other
offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any
such shares of Common Stock be distributed or published in any jurisdiction,
except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable
rules and regulations of such jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this
Prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any
restrictions relating to the Offering of the Common Stock and the distribution

jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.
 
     In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters may engage in
transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the
Common Stock. Specifically, the Underwriters may overallot the Offering,
creating a syndicate short position. The Underwriters may bid for and purchase
shares of Common Stock in the open market to cover such syndicate short position
or to stabilize the price of the Common Stock. In addition, the underwriting
syndicate may reclaim selling concessions from syndicate members and selected
dealers if they repurchase previously distributed Common Stock in syndicate
covering transactions, in stabilizing transactions or otherwise. These
activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
    
 
   
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
BearCom Group, Inc.:
    
 
   
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BearCom
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30, 1997 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended April 30, 1998. In connection with
our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the
financial statement schedule II -- Valuation and Qualifying Accounts. These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits.
    
 
   
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
    
 
   
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BearCom
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30, 1997 and 1998, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended April 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    
   
                         APRIL 30, 1996, 1997 AND 1998
    
 
   
(1) GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    
 
   
  (a) General
    
 
   
     BearCom Group, Inc. (formerly BearCom, Inc.), and subsidiaries (the
"Company"), is the surviving company resulting from the merger of Page-Com, Inc.
("Page-Com") and Bear Communications, Inc. ("Bear Communications") on December
27, 1995 (see note 2). The Company is principally in the business of selling and
renting site-based two-way radios, pagers and other wireless communication
equipment to customers throughout the United States, as well as a number of
foreign countries.
    
 
   
     The consolidated financial statements include BearCom Group, Inc. and its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
    
 
   
  (b) Inventory
    
 
   
     Inventory consists primarily of two-way radios and accessories and is
stated at the lower of average cost or market. Inventory is stated net of
reserves for obsolete items of $196,413 and $555,312 at April 30, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.
    
 
   
  (c) Fixed Assets
    
 
   
     Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
which range from 3 to 7 years for equipment and fixtures and 20 years for the
building. Rental equipment is depreciated over five years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their
useful life or the related lease term. Renewals and improvements that
significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an
asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred.
    
 
   
  (d) Costs in Excess of Tangible Net Assets Acquired
    
 
   
     Costs in excess of tangible net assets acquired are being amortized using
the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of thirty years. The
Company assesses the recoverability of costs in excess of tangible net assets
acquired by determining whether the amortization of the balance over its
remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows
of the acquired operation. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based
on projected discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate
reflecting the Company's average cost of funds. The assessment of recoverability
will be impacted if estimated future operating cash flows are not achieved.
Costs in excess of tangible net assets acquired are stated net of accumulated
amortization of $98,889 and $329,979 at April 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
    
 
   
  (e) Revenue
    
 
   
     The Company records revenue from product sales at the time the related
products are shipped. Sales are recorded net of returns and allowances.
Short-term (i.e., one month or less) rental revenue is recognized upon
completion of the rental contract. Long-term (i.e., over one month) rental
revenue is recognized on a monthly basis. Repair revenue is recognized when the
repair is completed and the equipment is shipped to the

customer. The Company provides a sixty-day warranty on repair work, and expenses
costs as incurred as historically the amounts have not been material. The
components of rental and other revenue are as follows:

  (f) Advertising Costs
    
 
   
     The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred, except for
direct-response advertising and catalog costs which are capitalized and
amortized over their expected period of future benefit (generally one year).
Direct-response advertising costs consist primarily of the cost of mailing lists
and printing, postage and contract services related to catalogs used to market
the Company's products. Total advertising costs reported as assets included in
"prepaid expenses and other" were $1,413,898 and $1,226,280 at April 30, 1997
and 1998, respectively. Advertising expense was $1,654,995, $1,459,592 and
$2,117,904 for the years ended April 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
    
 
   
  (g) Foreign Currency Translation
    
 
   
     Financial statements of the Company's Australian subsidiary are translated
into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets
and liabilities and the average exchange rate for each period for revenues,
expenses and gains and losses. Translation adjustments are reflected as a
component of stockholders' equity. Gains or losses from foreign currency
transactions are included in net income and were insignificant for all years
presented.
    
 
   
  (h) Income Taxes
    
 
   
     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
    
 
   
  (i) Net Income Per Share
    
 
   
     Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per
share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares plus the number of additional shares that would have resulted from
potentially dilutive securities. The Company effected a 643-for-1 stock split on
June 24, 1998. All share and per share information has been retroactively
restated to give effect to the stock split.
    
 
   
     The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year ended April
30, 1996 was 6,095,848. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for
the years ended April 30, 1997 and 1998 was 6,669,515. The Company's only
potentially dilutive securities related to the stock options exercised in
December 1995, which were not dilutive for the year ended April 30, 1996. There
were no potentially dilutive securities for the years ended April 30, 1997 and
1998.

  (j) Statement of Cash Flows Information
    
 
   
     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at April 30, 1997 or 1998.

     In fiscal 1996, there was a noncash transaction related to the sale of
common stock to an officer of the Company in exchange for a full recourse note
(see note 6). In 1996, the Company entered into capital leases for equipment
totalling $125,955.
    
 
   
  (k) Use of Management Estimates
    
 
   
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
    
 
   
  (l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of
    
 
   
     Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying

of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to

(2) MERGER
    
 
   
     On December 27, 1995, Page-Com issued 4,001,710 shares of its common stock
in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Bear Communications in a
transaction accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the combination have been
restated to combine the accounts and results of operations of Page-Com and Bear
Communications. There were no significant transactions between Page-Com and Bear
Communications prior to the combination.
    
 
   
(3) ACQUISITIONS
    
 
   
     During the years ended April 30, 1997 and 1998, the Company acquired
several communication equipment businesses. Included in these acquisitions was
one significant acquisition, completed in March 1998, in which the Company
acquired the assets of two related entities which sell communications equipment
and is awaiting regulatory approval for the acquisition of a third related
entity (which is individually immaterial). The purchase price of $7,000,000 was
financed through borrowings under the long-term debt arrangement. The agreement
also requires additional consideration be paid over the next two twelve-month
periods ending March 31, 1999 and 2000 equal to fifty percent of the first
$3,000,000 of earnings

     The Company used the purchase method to account for these acquisitions, and
accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired operations have been
included in the Company's consolidated statements of income from the respective
acquisition dates. The fair values assigned to certain assets acquired and
liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates which are subject to
change. Management does not expect the estimated values to change materially.

(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    
 
   
     The Company has notes and interest receivable from a shareholder/officer
related to cash advances of $656,281 and $753,266 at April 30, 1997 and 1998,
respectively. The notes bear interest at 7% with all unpaid interest and
principal due in May 1999. The notes are secured by 142,746 shares of the
Company's common stock. In a separate transaction, this officer exercised
options in December 1995 to acquire 666,791 shares of Page-Com's common stock at
a price of $1.40 per share. The options were granted in April 1992. The exercise
of the options was funded by a full recourse loan from the Company of $933,300
bearing interest at 7% and due in April 1999. The Company has no other options
outstanding.
    
 
   
     On April 28, 1995, the Company sold land and a building to an employee who
was the former owner of Page-Com in exchange for a note receivable of $325,000
bearing interest at 9%. The note and accrued interest are due on April 28, 2000
and are secured by a first lien on the property. The Company has agreed to
reduce the outstanding balance of the note, and related accrued interest, by 20%
per year as long as this employee stays in the employment of the Company. As a
result, the note receivable and related interest are being charged to
compensation expense over a five-year period. Compensation expense of $94,250
was recognized pursuant to this transaction for each of the years ended April
30, 1996, 1997 and 1998.
    
 
   
     The Company rents its Costa Mesa, California office from an affiliated
partnership pursuant to a verbal arrangement. Total rent paid to the partnership
was $112,816, $94,740 and $64,740 for the years ended April 30, 1996, 1997 and
1998, respectively. The Company guarantees payment of two promissory notes
totalling $820,000 that are secured by this property.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
   
     The Company has a credit agreement with a bank (the "Senior Bank
Facility"), as amended on March 27, 1998, which provides for borrowings of up to
$30,000,000 in the form of a $25,000,000 working capital line of credit
("revolving line of credit") and a $5,000,000 term note. The revolving line of
credit is due on November 5, 1999 and bears interest at either an adjusted LIBOR
rate (5.66% at April 30, 1998) plus 1.25% or at the bank's prime rate (8.5% at
April 30, 1998). At the request of the Company, the bank may issue letters of
credit to the Company's vendors for the acquisition of inventory. The aggregate
outstanding amount of any letters of credit constitute a portion of the
revolving line of credit and shall not exceed $2,000,000. The actual amount
available to the Company on a daily basis under its revolving line of credit is
based on the "free cash flow" of the Company as defined by the agreement. The
term note is due in equal monthly installments through November 5, 2001 and
bears interest at either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.35% or at the bank's
prime rate. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are secured by
substantially all the assets of the Company.
    
 
   
     The Senior Bank Facility agreement restricts the Company's ability to issue
or redeem capital stock, incur additional debt and pay dividends. It also
requires the Company to maintain financial ratios including minimum working
capital (as defined) of $12.0 million, not less than $1,000 of quarterly net
income, and a ratio of debt (as defined) to tangible net worth (as defined) of
not less than 2:1. On June 17, 1998, the Senior Bank Facility was amended such
that for periods subsequent to July 31, 1998, failure to meet the ratio of debt
to tangible net worth is not an event of default, but may result in an increase
in interest rates. The fair market value of the note payable to bank is
estimated to approximate the related book value based on current market rates.
    
 
   
     Scheduled debt maturities (excluding capital leases) subsequent to April
30, 1998 are as follows: $1,348,880 in 1999, $23,187,113 in 2000, $1,325,000 in
2001, and $729,168 in 2002.
    
 
   
(8) LEASES
    
 
   
     The Company leases certain of its operating facilities and equipment under
both capital and operating leases. At April 30, 1998, minimum rental payments
under these leases are as follows:

     No valuation allowances were considered necessary at April 30, 1997 or 1998
as management believes it is more likely than not that the existing deductible
temporary differences will be offset by future reversals of differences
generating taxable income.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
    
 
   
(10) BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS
    
 
   
     The Company's customers are located primarily throughout the United States.
The Company had no customers who accounted for more than 10% of consolidated
sales in 1996, 1997 or 1998.
    
 
   
     Substantially all of the Company's sales are made on credit. The Company
evaluates credit risks on an individual basis before extending credit to its
customers, and it believes the allowance for doubtful accounts adequately
provides for loss or uncollectible accounts.
    
 
   
(11) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLAN
    
 
   
     The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan for substantially all
employees. Effective February 1, 1996, the Company matches 75% of employee
contributions up to 5% of their compensation. Prior to February 1, 1996,
Page-Com matched 100% and Bear Communications matched 50% of employee
contributions up to 5% of their compensation. Company contributions of $198,599,
$240,977 and $312,389 for the years ended April 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively, were charged to expense.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Condor Communications, Inc. and Affiliates
Miami, Florida
 
   
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Condor
Communications, Inc., and affiliates as of December 31, 1996 and 1997 and the
related combined statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997. The combined financial
statements include the financial statements of Condor Communications, Inc.,
Condor Communications, Ltd., Condor East, Spol, s.r.o., and Condor CZ, s.r.o.,
which are related through common ownership and management. These combined
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
based on our audit.
    
 
   
     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
    
 
   
     In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Condor
Communications, Inc., Condor Communications, Ltd., Condor East, Spol, s.r.o. and
Condor CZ, s.r.o. as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the combined results of
their operations and their cash flows for the three-year period ended December
31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
    
 
   
     The combined financial statements as of March 31, 1998 and for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 were reviewed by us, and our report
thereon, dated June 19, 1998 stated we were not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to those statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, a review is
substantially less in scope than an audit and does not provide a basis for the
expression of an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   
    FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997 AND MARCH 31, 1998
    
 
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     This summary of significant accounting policies of Condor Communications,
Inc. and affiliated companies (the "Group") is presented to assist in
understanding the Group's financial statements. The financial statements and
notes are representations of the Group's management who is responsible for their
integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally
accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the
preparation of the financial statements.
 
BUSINESS ACTIVITY
 
     The Group is principally engaged in the sale of site-based two way radios
and other wireless communication equipment.
 
BASIS OF COMBINATION
 
   
     The combined financial statements include the accounts of Condor
Communications, Inc., Condor Communications, Ltd., Condor East, Spol, s.r.o.,
and Condor CZ, s.r.o., which are related through common ownership and
management. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in combination.
    
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
   
     Securities with maturities of three months or less when purchased are
treated as cash equivalents in presenting the statement of cash flows. There
were no cash equivalents at December 31, 1996 and 1997 or March 31, 1998.
    
 
   
     Non-cash transactions consist of a capital lease obligation in the amount
of $114,108 entered into for the purchase of equipment in 1997.
    
 
INVENTORY
 
   
     Inventory consists primarily of two-way radios and accessories and is
stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory is stated net of reserves for
obsolete items of $268,167 and $377,493 at December 31, 1996 and 1997, and
$881,748 at March 31, 1998, respectively.
    
 
FIXED ASSETS
 
     Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is provided
principally using accelerated methods over the useful lives of the respective
assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and major
improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale or other disposition of
property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

     Depreciation and amortization expense was $136,722, $161,026 and $210,788
in 1995, 1996 and 1997 and $42,460 and $37,882 for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
    
 
REVENUE
 
     The Group records revenue from product sales at the time the related
products are shipped. Sales are recorded net of returns and allowances.
 
   
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
    
 
   
     Financial statements of the combined entities for Condor East, Spol, s.r.o.
and Condor C2, s.r.o. are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate
at each balance sheet date. The resulting translation gain or loss is immaterial
and has been historically classified as accounts payable. Gains or losses from
foreign currency transactions are immaterial and have been included in net
income.
    
 
   
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS AND LONG LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF
    
 
     Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
NOTE 2:  FIXED ASSETS
 
   
     Fixed assets are comprised of the following:

NOTE 3:  INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARY
 
   
     In 1996, Condor Communications, Ltd. invested in a 50% equity interest in
Condor Telecommunications, S.A., a corporation incorporated under the laws of
Venezuela. This investment is accounted for using the equity method of
accounting, and the Group's income from this subsidiary was not material for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 or the three months ended March 31, 1998.
There are no differences between the carrying value of this investment and
Condor's equity in the net assets of the investee. There is no market quote for
this investment and no known material contingencies of the investee.
    
 
NOTE 4: INCOME TAXES
 
     Condor Communications, Inc., the principal operating company within the
Group, has elected to be taxed under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S
Corporation. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the shareholders of an S
Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the company's taxable
income. Accordingly, provisions for income taxes have not been made on its
earnings. The affiliated companies in the Group serve as distribution channels
and either do not have material net earnings over the three year period ended
December 31, 1997 or operate out of a tax haven with no corporate income taxes.
As a consequence, no provision for income taxes has been made in the combined
financial statements.
 
NOTE 5: REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
 
   
     Revolving line of credit consists of the following:

     Condor Communications, Inc. has a revolving line of credit facility with a
bank funded with a demand note payable that provides for borrowing in the amount
of $2,000,000 of which $1,715,000 was unused at December 31, 1997. Bank advances

by substantially all corporate assets and a personal guarantee from Condor

NOTE 6: LEASES
 
     The Group leases certain machinery and equipment under a capital lease. The
economic substance of the lease is that the Group is financing the acquisition

     At December 31, 1997, $114,108 in machinery and equipment and related
accumulated amortization (over a five year life) of $38,036 are included in
property and equipment.
 
   
     The Group also leases certain of its office equipment under operating
leases with non-cancelable terms of under one year. Rental expense under
operating leases was $13,982, $21,045 and $57,504 for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, and $9,640 and $5,638 for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
    
 
NOTE 7: CONTINGENCIES
 
   
     The Group carries insurance to cover its property and equipment, and
inventory with coverage limits which are well below the fair value of these
assets at December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998.
    
 
     Condor East, s.r.o. is contingently liable for customs import duties
(assessed at 100% of importation value) or fines thereon relating to inventory
on hand in excess of a $588,000 customs guarantee bond. At December 31, 1997
inventory on hand exceeded the guarantee by approximately $240,000.
 
NOTE 8: BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS
 
     The Group purchases substantially all of its inventory from Motorola, Inc.
and is economically dependent on that vendor for favorable trade terms as well
as products for sale.
 
     The Group transacts most of its business with customers located in Latin
American and Eastern Europe. Accordingly, the Group's business may be affected
by political and economic changes in the regions. The Group had no customers who
accounted for more than 10% of consolidated sales in 1995, 1996 or 1997.
 
   
     The Group maintains substantially all cash balances at one bank. Cash
balances in excess of federal insurance limits were $391,690 at December 31,
1997 and $1,277,032 and March 31, 1998.
    
 
NOTE 9: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     In March 1998, all assets and operations of the continued entity were sold
to an unrelated party. The Group also settled certain claims that arose from
agency agreements for a total of $420,000.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     As permitted by the Texas Business Corporation Act, the Registrant's
Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that
the directors and officers of the Registrant shall be indemnified by the
Registrant against certain liabilities that those persons may incur in their
capacities as directors or officers. Furthermore, the Registrant's Articles of
Incorporation eliminate the liability of directors of the Registrant to the
maximum extent permitted by the Texas Business Corporation Act. See 
"Management -- Exculpatory Charter Provision; Liability and Indemnification of
Officers and Directors" in the Prospectus.

     The Underwriting Agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto contains
reciprocal agreements of indemnity between the Registrant and the underwriters
as to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and in certain circumstances provides
for indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

   
     During the previous three years, the Registrant has issued and sold the
following securities (all such amounts having been adjusted to reflect the
643-for-1 stock split effected in June, 1998) without registration under the
Securities Act (none of which sales were underwritten):
    

     In connection with the Merger, in December 1995 the Company issued an
aggregate of 4,001,710 shares of Common Stock to shareholders of Bear
Communications. The Registrant believes that these transactions were exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2)
thereof.

     In December 1995, Mr. Watson exercised options to acquire 666,791 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of approximately 1.40 per share. The options
were granted in April 1992. The exercise of such options was funded by a full
recourse loan from the Company to Mr. Watson in the amount of $933,000, bearing
interest at 7% and is due in April 1999. The Registrant believes that this
transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules

The following financial statement schedules are included in Part II of the
Registration Statement.

Item 17. Undertakings.

   
(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

   
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
representatives of the underwriters at the closing specified in the Underwriting
Agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as
required by the representatives of the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to
each purchaser.

(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

    (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration
Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and this offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

_____________ shares are to be issued and sold by the Company and _____________

         SECTION 1.       Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company

time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act, is hereinafter
referred to as the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT;" and the prospectus in the form
first used to confirm sales of Shares is hereinafter referred to as the
"PROSPECTUS." If the Company has filed or is required pursuant to the terms
hereof to file a registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act
registering additional shares of Common Stock (a "RULE 462(b) REGISTRATION

"Registration Statement" shall be deemed to include such Rule 462(b)
Registration Statement.

         SECTION 2.       Agreements to Sell and Purchase and Lock-Up

Shares.

         On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to issue

unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures),
trademarks, service marks and trade names ("INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY") currently
employed by them in connection with the business now operated by them except
where the failure to own or possess or otherwise be able to acquire such
intellectual property would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect on the business, prospects, financial condition or results of
operation of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement
of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any of such

on the business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

         (w)     Neither the Company, any of its subsidiaries nor any director,
officer, agent or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in their

         (a)     Such Selling Stockholder is the lawful owner of the Shares to

valid and binding agreement of such Selling Stockholder, enforceable in

<PAGE>   13
Selling Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and, pursuant to
such Power of Attorney, such Selling Stockholder has, among other things,
authorized the Attorneys, or any one of them, to execute and deliver on such
Selling Stockholder's behalf this Agreement and any other document that they,
or any one of them, may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to deliver the Shares to be

         (g)     Upon delivery of and payment for the Shares to be sold by such
Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement, good and clear title to such

         (h)     The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney of such Selling Stockholder by or
on behalf of such Selling Stockholder, the compliance by such Selling
Stockholder with all the provisions hereof and thereof and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) require any

court or governmental body or agency (except such as may be required under the
securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states), (ii)conflict with or
constitute a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or a default under,

caption "Principal and Selling Stockholders" which specifically relates to such
Selling Stockholder does not, and will not on the Closing Date, contain any

to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

         (j)     At any time during the period described in Section 5(d), if
there is any change in the information referred to in Section 7(i), such
Selling Stockholder will immediately notify you of such change.

         (k)     Each certificate signed by or on behalf of such Selling
Stockholder and delivered to the Underwriters or counsel for the Underwriters
shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by such Selling Stockholder
to the Underwriters as to the matters covered thereby.

         SECTION 8.       Indemnification. (a) The Sellers, jointly and
severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its
directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), from and against any and
all losses, claims,





                                       13
<PAGE>   14
damages, liabilities and judgments (including, without limitation, any legal or
other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
matter, including any action, that could give rise to any such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments) caused by any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or
any amendment thereto), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto)
or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by any such untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon
information relating to any Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by
such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein provided, however, that
the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus
shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter who failed to deliver a
Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented, provided by the Company to the
several Underwriters in the requisite quantity and on a timely basis to permit
proper delivery on or prior to the Closing Date) to the person asserting any
losses, claims, damages and liabilities and judgments caused by any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, if such material misstatement or omission or
alleged material misstatement or omission was cured in such Prospectus and such
Prospectus was required by law to be delivered at or prior to the written
confirmation of sale to such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
aggregate liability of any Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Section 8(a)
shall be limited to an amount equal to the total proceeds (before deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses) received by such Selling
Stockholder from the Underwriters for the sale of the Shares sold by such
Selling Stockholder hereunder.

         (b)     Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign
the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act,
each Selling Stockholder and each person, if any, who controls such Selling
Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Sellers to
such Underwriter but only with reference to information relating to such
Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by such Underwriter through you
expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any preliminary
prospectus.

         (c)     In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in
respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person
against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing
and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and
the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that
in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b), the





                                       14
<PAGE>   15
Underwriter shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant
to this Section 8(c), but may employ separate counsel and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided
below, shall be at the expense of such Underwriter). Any indemnified party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of
such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the
indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the
defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case
the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of the indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying
party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but
substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out
of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for (i) the fees
and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any
local counsel) for all Underwriters, their officers and directors and all
persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (ii) the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local
counsel) for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration
Statement and all persons, if any, who control the Company within the meaning
of either such Section and (iii) the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all Selling
Stockholders and all persons, if any, who control any Selling Stockholder
within the meaning of either such Section, and all such fees and expenses shall
be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for
the Underwriters, their officers and directors and such control persons of any
Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation. In the case of any such separate firm for the
Company and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such
firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. In the case of any such
separate firm for the Selling Stockholders and such control persons of any
Selling Stockholders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the
Attorneys. The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the
indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action (i)
effected with its written consent or (ii) effected without its written consent
if the settlement is entered into more than twenty business days after the
indemnifying party shall have received a request from the indemnified party for
reimbursement for the fees and expenses of counsel (in any case where such fees
and expenses are at the expense of the indemnifying party) and, prior to the
date of such settlement, the indemnifying party shall have failed to comply
with such reimbursement request. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise
of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or
threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have
been a party and indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought
hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or
judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from
all liability on claims that are or could have been the subject





                                       15
<PAGE>   16
matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the
indemnified party.

         (d)     To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section
8 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then
each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the
offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above
but also the relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted
in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed
to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but before deducting
expenses) received by the Sellers, and the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the Underwriters, bear to the total price to the public
of the Shares, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the
Prospectus. The relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand
or the Underwriters on the other hand and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.

         The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any matter,
including any action, that could have given rise to such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it
and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of
any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason
of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to
contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the
respective number of Shares purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and
not joint.





                                       16
<PAGE>   17
         (e)     The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive
and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to
any indemnified party at law or in equity.

         (f)     Each Selling Stockholder hereby designates BearCom Group,
Inc., 11545 Pagemill Road, Dallas, Texas 75243, as its authorized agent, upon
which process may be served in any action which may be instituted in any state
or federal court in the State of New York by any Underwriter, any director or
officer of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter asserting
a claim for indemnification or contribution under or pursuant to this Section
8, and each Selling Stockholder will accept the jurisdiction of such court in
such action, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
defense based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or venue. A copy of any such
process shall be sent or given to such Selling Stockholder, at the address for
notices specified in Section 12 hereof.

         SECTION 9.       Conditions of Underwriters' Obligations. The several
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Firm Shares under this
Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

         (a)     All the representations and warranties of the Company
contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on the Closing Date with
the same force and effect as if made on and as of the Closing Date.

         (b)     If the Company is required to file a Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement after the effectiveness of this Agreement, such Rule 462(b)
Registration Statement shall have become effective by 10:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the date of this Agreement; and no stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no
proceedings for that purpose shall have been commenced or shall be pending
before or contemplated by the Commission.

         (c)     You shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate
dated the Closing Date, signed by John P.  Watson, Jerry Denham and Michael L.
Kovar, in their capacities as the Chairman, President and Chief Financial
Officer of the Company, respectively, confirming the matters set forth in
Sections 6(t), 9(a) and 9(b) and that the Company has complied with all of the
agreements and satisfied all of the conditions herein contained and required to
be complied with or satisfied by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date.

         (d)     Since the respective dates as of which information is given in
the Prospectus other than as set forth in the Prospectus (exclusive of any
amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement),
(i) there shall not have occurred any change or any development involving a
prospective change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings,
business, management, prospects or operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) there





                                       17
<PAGE>   18
shall not have been any change or any development involving a prospective
change in the capital stock or in the long-term debt of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries and (iii) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
shall have incurred any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, the
effect of which, in any such case described in clause 9(d)(i), 9(d)(ii) or
9(d)(iii), in your judgment, is material and adverse and, in your judgment,
makes it impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus.

         (e)     All the representations and warranties of each Selling
Stockholder contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on the
Closing Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the Closing
Date and you shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate dated the
Closing Date from each Selling Stockholder to such effect and to the effect
that such Selling Stockholder has complied with all of the agreements and
satisfied all of the conditions herein contained and required to be complied
with or satisfied by such Selling Stockholder on or prior to the Closing Date.

         (f)     You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion
(satisfactory to you and counsel for the Underwriters), dated the Closing Date,

Stockholders, to the effect that:

         qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation authorized
         to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its
         business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such
         qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not
         have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects, financial
         condition or results of operations of the Company and its
         subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

                 (iii)    all the outstanding shares of capital stock of the

         proceedings referred to therein, fairly present the information called
         for with respect to such legal matters, documents and proceedings;

                 (x)      neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in

         such counsel's knowledge after due inquiry, neither the Company nor
         any of its subsidiaries is in default in the performance of any
         obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any
         indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, lease or other agreement or

         as a whole, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party
         or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective
         property is bound;

                 (xi)     the execution, delivery and performance of this
         Agreement by the Company, the compliance by the Company with all the
         provisions hereof and the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated hereby will not (A) require any consent, approval,
         authorization or other order of, or qualification with, any court or
         governmental body or agency (except such as may be required under the
         securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states), (B) conflict with
         or constitute a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or a
         default under, the charter or by-laws of the Company or any of its

         order or decree of any court or any governmental body or agency having
         jurisdiction over the Company, any of its subsidiaries or their
         respective property or (D) result in the suspension, termination or
         revocation of any Authorization of the Company or any of its
         subsidiaries or any other impairment of the rights of the holder of
         any such Authorization;

                 (xii)    after due inquiry, such counsel does not know of any
         legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened to which the
         Company or any of its subsidiaries is or could be a party or to which
         any of their respective property is or could be subject that are
         required to be described in the Registration Statement or the
         Prospectus and are not so described, or of any statutes, regulations,
         contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the
         Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to
         the Registration Statement that are not so described or filed as
         required;

                 (xiii)   neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has
         violated any Environmental Law, any provisions of the Employee
         Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or any provisions
         of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or the rules and regulations
         promulgated thereunder, except for such violations which, singly or in
         the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the
         business, prospects, financial condition or results of operation of
         the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

                 (xiv)    each of the Company and its subsidiaries has such
         Authorizations of, and has made all filings with and notices to, all
         governmental or regulatory authorities and self-regulatory
         organizations and all courts and other tribunals, including, without
         limitation, under any applicable Environmental Laws, as are necessary
         to own, lease, license and operate its respective properties and to
         conduct its business, except where the failure to have any such
         Authorization or to make any such filing or notice would not, singly
         or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business,
         prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the Company
         and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; each such Authorization is
         valid and in full force and effect and each of the Company and its
         subsidiaries is in compliance with all the terms and conditions
         thereof and with the rules and regulations of the authorities and
         governing bodies having jurisdiction with respect thereto; and no
         event has occurred (including, without limitation, the receipt of any
         notice from any authority or governing body) which allows or, after
         notice or lapse of time or both, would allow, revocation, suspension
         or termination of any such Authorization or results or, after notice
         or lapse of time or both, would result in any other impairment of the
         rights of the holder of any such Authorization; and such
         Authorizations contain no restrictions that are burdensome to the
         Company or any of its subsidiaries; except where such failure to be
         valid and in full force and effect or to be in compliance, the
         occurrence of any such event or the presence of any such restriction
         would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect
         on the business, prospects, financial condition or results of
         operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

         offering and sale of the Shares and the application of the proceeds
         thereof as described in the Prospectus, will not be, an "investment
         company" as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of
         1940, as amended;

                 (xvi)    to the best of such counsel's knowledge after due
         inquiry, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between
         the Company and any person granting such person the right to require
         the Company to file a registration statement under the Act with
         respect to any securities of the Company or to require the Company to
         include such securities with the Shares registered pursuant to the
         Registration Statement;

                 (xvii)   (A) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and
         any supplement or amendment thereto (except for the financial
         statements and other financial data included therein as to which no
         opinion need be expressed) comply as to form with the Act, (B) such
         counsel has no reason to believe that at the time the Registration
         Statement became effective or on the date of this Agreement, the
         Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein (except for
         the financial statements and other financial data as to which such
         counsel need not express any belief) contained any untrue statement of
         a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
         stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
         misleading and (C) such counsel has no reason to believe that the
         Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, if applicable (except for the
         financial statements and other financial data, as aforesaid) contains
         any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
         fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
         of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

                 (xviii)  each Selling Stockholder is the lawful owner of the
         Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder pursuant to this
         Agreement and has good and clear title to such Shares, free of all
         restrictions on transfer, liens, encumbrances, security interests,
         equities and claims whatsoever;

                 (xix)    each Selling Stockholder has full legal right, power
         and authority, and all authorization and approval required by law, to
         enter into this Agreement and the Custody Agreement and the Power of
         Attorney of such Selling Stockholder and to sell, assign, transfer and
         deliver the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder in the
         manner provided herein and therein;

         Stockholder and is a valid and binding agreement of such Selling
         Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms;

                 (xxi)    the Power of Attorney of each Selling Stockholder has

         Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and, pursuant
         to such





                                       21
<PAGE>   22
         Power of Attorney, such Selling Stockholder has, among other things,
         authorized the Attorneys, or any one of them, to execute and deliver
         on such Selling Stockholder's behalf this Agreement and any other
         document they, or any one of them, may deem necessary or desirable in
         connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and
         to deliver the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder pursuant
         to this Agreement;

         sold by each Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement, good and
         clear title to such Shares will pass to the Underwriters, free of all
         restrictions on transfer, liens, encumbrances, security interests,

         Agreement and the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney of each
         Selling Stockholder by such Selling Stockholder, the compliance by
         such Selling Stockholder with all the provisions hereof and thereof
         and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
         thereby will not (A) require any consent, approval, authorization or
         other order of, or qualification with, any court or governmental body
         or agency (except such as may be required under the securities or Blue
         Sky laws of the various states), (B) conflict with or constitute a
         breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or a default under, the
         organizational documents of such Selling Stockholder, if such Selling
         Stockholder is not an individual, or any indenture, loan agreement,
         mortgage, lease or other agreement or instrument to which such Selling
         Stockholder is a party or by which any property of such Selling
         Stockholder is bound or (C) violate or conflict with any applicable
         law or any rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court or
         any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over such Selling

         The opinion of Gardere & Wynne, L.L.P. described in Section 9(f) above
shall be rendered to you at the request of the Company and the Selling
Stockholders and shall so state therein.

         (g)     You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion, dated
the Closing Date, of Vinson & Elkins, L.L.P., counsel for the Underwriters, as
to the matters referred to in Sections 9(f)(iv), 9(f)(vi) (but only with
respect to the Company), 9(f)(ix) (but only with respect to the statements
under the caption "Description of Capital Stock" and "Underwriting") and
9(f)(xvii).

         In giving such opinions with respect to the matters covered by Section
9(f)(xvii), Gardere & Wynne, L.L.P. and Vinson & Elkins, L.L.P. may state that
their opinion and belief are based upon their participation in the preparation
of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto and review and discussion of the contents thereof, but are without
independent check or verification except as specified.

         (h)     You shall have received, on each of the date hereof and the
Closing Date, a letter dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the case
may be, in form and substance satisfactory to you, from KPMG Peat Marwick LLP,
independent public accountants, containing the information





                                       22
<PAGE>   23
and statements of the type ordinarily included in accountants' "comfort
letters" to Underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain
financial information contained in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus.

         (i)     The Company shall have delivered to you the agreements
specified in Section 2 hereof which agreements shall be in full force and
effect on the Closing Date.

         (j)     The Shares shall have been duly listed for quotation on the
Nasdaq National Market.

         (k)     The Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not have failed
on or prior to the Closing Date to perform or comply with any of the agreements
herein contained and required to be performed or complied with by the Company
or the Selling Stockholders, as the case may be, on or prior to the Closing
Date.

         [(l)    YOU SHALL HAVE RECEIVED ON THE CLOSING DATE, A CERTIFICATE OF
EACH SELLING STOCKHOLDER WHO IS NOT A U.S. PERSON (AS DEFINED UNDER APPLICABLE
U.S. FEDERAL TAX LEGISLATION) TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH SELLING STOCKHOLDER IS
NOT A U.S. PERSON, WHICH CERTIFICATE MAY BE IN THE FORM OF A PROPERLY COMPLETED
AND EXECUTED UNITED STATES TREASURY DEPARTMENT FORM W-8 (OR OTHER APPLICABLE
FORM OR STATEMENT SPECIFIED BY TREASURY DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS IN LIEU
THEREOF).]

         The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase any Additional
Shares hereunder are subject to the delivery to you on the applicable Option
Closing Date of such documents as you may reasonably request with respect to
the good standing of the Company, the due authorization and issuance of such
Additional Shares and other matters related to the issuance of such Additional
Shares.

         SECTION 10.      Effectiveness of Agreement and Termination. This
Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the parties hereto.

         This Agreement may be terminated at any time on or prior to the
Closing Date by you by written notice to the Sellers if any of the following
has occurred: (i) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national
or international calamity or crisis or change in economic conditions or in the
financial markets of the United States or elsewhere that, in your judgment, is
material and adverse and, in your judgment, makes it impracticable to market
the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus, (ii)
the suspension or material limitation of trading in securities or other
instruments on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the
Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago
Board of Trade or the Nasdaq National Market or limitation on prices for
securities or other instruments on any such exchange or the Nasdaq National
Market, (iii) the suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any
exchange or in the over-the-counter market, (iv) the enactment, publication,
decree or other promulgation of any federal or state statute, regulation, rule
or order of any court or other governmental authority which in your opinion
materially and adversely affects, or will





                                       23
<PAGE>   24
materially and adversely affect, the business, prospects, financial condition
or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
(v) the declaration of a banking moratorium by either federal or New York State
authorities or (vi) the taking of any action by any federal, state or local
government or agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs which in your
opinion has a material adverse effect on the financial markets in the United
States.

         If on the Closing Date or on an Option Closing Date, as the case may
be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the
Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which it has or they have
agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate number of Firm
Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not
more than one-tenth of the total number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as
the case may be, to be purchased on such date by all Underwriters, each
non-defaulting Underwriter shall be obligated severally, in the proportion
which the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite its name in Schedule I bears
to the total number of Firm Shares which all the non-defaulting Underwriters
have agreed to purchase, or in such other proportion as you may specify, to
purchase the Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which such
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase
on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Firm Shares or
Additional Shares, as the case may be, which any Underwriter has agreed to
purchase pursuant to Section 2 hereof be increased pursuant to this Section 10
by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Firm Shares or Additional
Shares, as the case may be, without the written consent of such Underwriter. If
on the Closing Date any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to
purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to
which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of
Firm Shares to be purchased by all Underwriters and arrangements satisfactory
to you, the Company and the Selling Stockholders for purchase of such Firm
Shares are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement will
terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the
Company or the Selling Stockholders. In any such case which does not result in
termination of this Agreement, either you or the Sellers shall have the right
to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in
order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an
Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to
purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with
respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate
number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such date, the non- defaulting
Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder
to purchase such Additional Shares or (ii) purchase not less than the number of
Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been
obligated to purchase on such date in the absence of such default. Any action
taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from
liability in respect of any default of any such Underwriter under this
Agreement.

         SECTION 11.      Agreements of the Selling Stockholders. Each Selling
Stockholder agrees with you and the Company:





                                       24
<PAGE>   25
         (a)     To pay or to cause to be paid all transfer taxes payable in
connection with the transfer of the Shares to be sold by such Selling
Stockholder to the Underwriters.

         (b)     To do and perform all things to be done and performed by such
Selling Stockholder under this Agreement prior to the Closing Date and to
satisfy all conditions precedent to the delivery of the Shares to be sold by
such Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement.

         SECTION 12.      Miscellaneous. Notices given pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be addressed as follows: (i) if to the
Company, to BearCom Group, Inc., 11545 Pagemill Road, Dallas, Texas 75243, (ii)

Kovar c/o BearCom Group, Inc., 11545 Pagemill Road, Dallas, Texas 75243 and
(iii) if to any Underwriter or to you, to you c/o Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
Securities Corporation, 277 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10172, Attention:

         The respective indemnities, contribution agreements, representations,
warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and
the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall
remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive delivery of and
payment for the Shares, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to
the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the officers or
directors of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter, the
Company, the officers or directors of the Company, any person controlling the
Company, any Selling Stockholder or any person controlling such Selling
Stockholder, (ii) acceptance of the Shares and payment for them hereunder and
(iii) termination of this Agreement.

         If for any reason the Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of any
Seller as provided herein (other than as a result of any termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 10), the Sellers agree, jointly and severally, to
reimburse the several Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including
the fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them. Notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, the Company shall be liable for all expenses
which it has agreed to pay pursuant to Section 5(i) hereof. The Sellers also
agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse the several Underwriters, their
directors and officers and any persons controlling any of the Underwriters for
any and all fees and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees
disbursements of counsel) incurred by them in connection with enforcing their
rights hereunder (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 8 hereof).

         Except as otherwise provided, this Agreement has been and is made
solely for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Company, the Selling
Stockholders, the Underwriters, the Underwriters' directors and officers, any
controlling persons referred to herein, the Company's directors and the
Company's officers who sign the Registration Statement and their respective
successors and assigns, all as and to the extent provided in this Agreement,
and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this
Agreement. The term "successors and assigns" shall not include a purchaser of
any of the Shares from any of the several Underwriters merely because of such
purchase.

         This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York.

         This Agreement may be signed in various counterparts which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

BearCom Group, Inc.
11545 Pagemill Road
Dallas, Texas 75243

Gentlemen:

We have served as counsel for BearCom Group, Inc., a Texas corporation (the
"Company"), and certain stockholders of the Company (the "Selling
Stockholders"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No.
333-50869) (the "Registration Statement"), covering the proposed initial public
offering of 3,333,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company
("Common Stock") by the Company (together with the 563,850 shares of Common
Stock subject to an over-allotment option in favor or the Underwriters, the
"Company Shares"), and 426,000 shares of Common Stock by the Selling
Stockholders (the "Selling Stockholders Shares"). The Company Shares and the
Selling Stockholders Shares are collectively referred to hereinafter as the
"Shares."

As such counsel, we have examined such documents and questions of law as we
have deemed necessary to render the opinion expressed below.  Based upon the
foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold, or sold
and delivered, in the manner and for the consideration stated in the Prospectus
constituting a part of the Registration Statement and in the Underwriting
Agreement described in the Registration Statement, will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We consent to the use of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration
Statement and to the use of our name in the Registration Statement and in the
Prospectus included therein under the heading "Legal Matters."

Very truly yours,

GARDERE & WYNNE, L.L.P.

acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.      EMPLOYMENT. Employer hereby agrees to employ Employee, and
Employee hereby agrees to serve Employer, upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.

         2.      TERMS.  Subject to prior termination as hereinafter set forth,
the term of the employment of Employee by Employer pursuant to this Agreement
(the "Term") shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue through the
last day of the first twenty-four (24) complete calendar month period following
the date hereof.

         3.      DUTIES.  Employee shall serve as, and have all power and
authority consistent with the position of, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Employer with complete power and authority over the management of
Employer, subject only to direction of the Board of Directors of Employer
("Board") exercised in good faith and not with the purpose of reducing any
amount payable to Condor pursuant to Section 1.6 of the Asset Purchase
Agreement.  Employees duties hereunder shall be those normally incident to his
position as President and Chief Executive Officer of Employer, which duties
will be similar to those heretofore performed for Condor by Employee, and such
other duties as may be reasonably assigned to Employee from time to time by the
Board, provided that such duties do not diminish the prestige or responsibility
of Employee's position.

Employee shall devote substantially all his business time and efforts to the
business of Employer; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of
Section 8, Employee may devote limited time to other business matters in which
he has an interest, including, but not limited to the business interests
identified on Schedule 3 hereto.

         4.      COMPENSATION AND OTHER PROVISIONS.  Employee shall be entitled
to the compensation and benefits hereinafter described in Subsections (a)
through (e) (such compensation and benefits being hereinafter referred to as
"Compensation Benefits").

                 (a)      BASE SALARY.  Employer shall pay to Employee a base
salary equal to $150,000 per annum during the Term ("Base Salary"), payable in
equal installments consistent with Employer's regular payroll policy.

                 (b)      PARTICIPATION IN BENEFIT PLANS. During the Term,
Employee shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans and
arrangements now in effect or which may hereafter be established in
substitution of or in addition to such employee benefit plans and arrangements,
including, without limitation, all life, group insurance and medical care plans
of Employer.  Employee's participation shall be made available on the same
basis as provided to other senior executives of Employer and BearCom.

                 (c)      EXPENSES.  In addition to the compensation
hereinabove provided, Employer will pay directly or reimburse Employee for all
reasonable expenses incurred by Employee in the interest of Employer,
including, but not limited to all reasonable entertainment expenses and first
class travel expenses.

                 (d)      WORKING FACILITIES.  Employee shall be entitled to
the continued exclusive use of the existing office which he presently occupies,
including the exclusive use of the furniture, fixtures and equipment contained
in such office, technical and secretarial assistance, and other facilities and
services suitable to Employee's position as President and Chief Executive
Officer of Employer and adequate for the performance of his duties; provided,
however, that if Employer's executive offices are relocated, which relocation
shall be within Miami-Dade County, Employee shall be provided with such new
office space, furniture, fixtures, equipment and technical and secretarial
staff of the same grade and qualify as his existing working facilities.

                 (e)      VACATION AND SICK PAY.  Employee shall be entitled to

Employer's and BearCom's policy for senior executive officers.

         5.      TERMINATION.  Employee's employment hereunder shall terminate

                 (b)      Employee's death;

                 (c)      The inability of Employee to perform his duties
hereunder by reason of illness, accident or other physical or mental disability
for a continuous period of at least four months or an aggregate of six months
during any continuous twelve month period ("Disability");

                 (d)      The termination by Employee for Good Reason (as

<PAGE>   3
                 (e)      For Cause, where "Cause" shall mean: (i) any
misappropriation by Employee of funds or property of Employer or any of its
affiliates; (ii) the conviction of Employee for a felony or any crime involving
moral turpitude; (iii) refusal of Employee to perform his duties and
responsibilities, persistent neglect of duty or chronic absenteeism, which
remains uncured for ten (10) days after written notice from Employer to
Employee of such alleged Cause; (iv) a breach by Employee of the provisions of
Section 7 or Section 8; or (v) any attempt by Employee to obtain a personal
profit from any transaction in which Employee has an interest adverse to
Employer unless such adverse interest and the potential profit are disclosed in
writing to the Board and approved in advance of such transaction.

                 Any termination pursuant to subparagraph (a) (b), (c) or (e)
of this Section shall be communicated by a written notice ("Notice of
Termination"), such notice to set forth with specificity the grounds for
termination if the result of "Cause".  Employee's employment under this
Agreement shall be deemed to have terminated as follows: (i) if Employee's
employment is terminated pursuant to subparagraph (b) above, on the date of his
death; or (ii) if Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to subparagraphs
(a), (c) or (e) above, on the date on which Notice of Termination is given; or
(iii) if Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to subparagraph (d)
above, ten (10) days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given.
The date on which termination is deemed to have occurred pursuant to this
paragraph is hereinafter referred to as the "Date of Termination."

         6.      PAYMENTS ON TERMINATION.  Except as otherwise provided in this
Section, in the event that Employee's employment is terminated, Employer shall
pay to Employee his full Base Salary through the Date of Termination together
with all benefits and other compensation, if any, due and owing as of that
date.  In the event that Employee's employment is terminated at any time by
Employee for "Good Reason" (as defined in this Section) or by Employer without
Cause, then Employer shall pay to Employee on the Date of Termination a lump
sum cash payment equal to all Compensation Benefits that are due, and all Base
Salary that would have become due to Employee under the terms of this Agreement
if the employment had not been terminated.  For purposes of this Section 6 and
Section 8(e), "Good Reason"  shall include: (i) the assignment to Employee of
any duties inconsistent in any material respect with Employee's position
(including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority,
duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 3, or any other action by
Employer which results in a diminution of such position, authority, duties or
responsibilities, excluding for this purpose any action taken with the consent
of Employee and any isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action taken in
good faith and which is remedied by Employer promptly after receipt of notice
of such action given by Employee; (ii) any material breach by Employer of any
of the terms or conditions of this Agreement which remains uncured following
ten (10) days after written notice to Employer of such alleged breach; or (iii)
any material breach by Employer of any of the terms or conditions of the Asset
Purchase Agreement which remains uncured following ten (10) days after written
notice to Employer of such alleged breach.

         7.      DISCLOSURE AND PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

                 (a)      For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential
Information" means knowledge, information and material which is proprietary to
Employer, of which Employee may obtain knowledge or access through or as a
result of his employment by Employer (including information conceived,
originated, discovered or developed in whole or in part by Employee).
Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, (i) technical
knowledge, information and material such as trade secrets, processes, formulas,
data, know-how, improvements, inventions, computer programs, drawings, patents,
and experimental and development work techniques, and (ii) marketing and other
information, such as supplier lists, customer lists, marketing and business
plans, business or technical needs of customers, consultants, licensees or
suppliers and their methods





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4
of doing business, arrangements with customers, consultants, licensees or
suppliers, manuals and personnel records or data.  Confidential Information
also includes any information described above which Employer obtains from
another party (including Condor and its affiliates) and which Employer treats
as proprietary or designates as confidential, whether or not owned or developed
by Employer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any information which is or
becomes available to the general public otherwise than by breach of this
Section 7 shall not constitute Confidential Information for purposes of this
Agreement.

                 (b)      During the term of this Agreement and thereafter,
Employee agrees to hold in confidence all Confidential Information and not to
use such information for Employee's own benefit or to reveal, report, publish,
disclose or transfer, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information to
any person or entity, or to utilize any Confidential Information for any
purpose, except in the course of Employee's work for Employer.

                 (c)      Employee will abide by any and all security rules and
regulations, whether formal or informal, that may from time to time be imposed
by Employer for the protection of Confidential Information, and will inform
Employer of any defects in, or improvements that should be made to, such rules
and regulations.

                 (d)      Employee will notify Employer in writing immediately
upon receipt of any subpoena, notice to produce, or other compulsory order or
process of any court of law or government agency if such document requires or
may require disclosure or other transfer of Confidential Information.  For this
purpose, Employee irrevocably nominates and appoints Employer (including any
attorney retained by Employer), as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to act
in Employee's name, place and stead to perform any act which Employee might
perform to defend and protect against any disclosure of Confidential
Information.

                 (e)      Upon termination of his employment, Employee will
deliver to Employer any and all records and tangible property that contain
Confidential Information that are in his possession or under his control.

         8.      COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.

                 (a)      Employee covenants and agrees that until the later of
[Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] after the closing of the
transactions contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement or [Confidential
Treatment Requested with SEC] after Employee ceases to be employed by Employer
or one of its affiliates (the "Non-Competition Period"), except for services
performed on behalf of Employer or one of its affiliates, Employee shall not,
within the trade territories described in the Motorola Distribution Agreement
to which Condor or any of its affiliates is a party existing on the date hereof
("Restricted Area"), directly or indirectly, alone or as a partner, member,
employee, agent, consultant, officer, director, stockholder, manager or
investor of any corporation, partnership or other entity: (i) invest (except
for investments of not more than five (5%) percent of the outstanding stock of
any publicly-traded company), own, manage, operate or control, or participate
in the ownership, management, operation or control of a business which sells,
rents, or services wireless communication products ("Competitive Business"); or
(ii) accept employment with or render services to a Competitive Business.

                 (b)      During the Non-Competition Period, Employee shall
not, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit for any purpose any customer of
Employer or any person who was a customer of Employer; (ii) solicit or induce
any employee of Employer to leave his or her employment with Employer; or (iii)
solicit for employment by himself or anyone else any person who was an employee
of Employer.

                 (c)      If any court shall determine that the duration or
geographical limit of any covenant contained in this Section 8 is
unenforceable, it is the intention of the parties that covenant shall not
thereby be terminated but shall be deemed amended to the extent required to
render it valid and enforceable, such amendment to apply only in the
jurisdiction of the court that has made such adjudication.

                 (d)      Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants
contained in Sections 7 and 8 are of the essence in this Agreement, that each
of such covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the
interests, properties, and business of Employer, and that irreparable loss and
damage will be suffered by Employer should Employee breach any of such
covenants.  Employee further represents and acknowledges that he shall not be
precluded from gainful engagement in a satisfactory fashion by the enforcement
of these provisions.

                 (e)      This Section 8 shall not be effective in the event
Employee is terminated by Employer without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason
(as defined in Section 6) but shall be effective following termination for any
other reason.

         9.      AVAILABILITY OF INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.  Employee acknowledges and
agrees that any breach by him of the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 hereof will
cause Employer irreparable injury and damage for which it cannot be adequately
compensated in damages.  Employee therefore expressly agrees that Employer
shall be entitled to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief, on a
temporary or permanent basis to prevent any anticipatory or continuing breach
of this Agreement or any part hereof, and is in addition to any other remedies
available to it.  Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by Employer of
any right it may have or hereafter acquired to monetary damages by reason of
any injury to its property, business or reputation or otherwise arising out of
any wrongful act or omission of Employee.

         10.     ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATION.  This Agreement sets forth the
entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof,
supersedes all existing agreements between them concerning such subject matter,
and may be modified only by a written instrument duly executed by each party.

         11.     NOTICES.  Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be
deemed validly given if delivered by hand, verified overnight delivery, or by
first class, certified mail to the following addresses (or to such other

         12.     WAIVER.  Any waiver by either party of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver
of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision
of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to
any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a
waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict
adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.  All waivers must
be in writing.

         13.     BINDING EFFECT.  Employer's rights and obligations under this

to do any of the foregoing shall be void; provided, that, the assignment of its
rights to enforce the confidentiality or non-competition provisions under
Section 7 or 8 of this Agreement to any successor entity shall not have any
effect whatsoever upon the binding nature or enforceability of this Agreement.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of Employer (and its successors and assigns) and Employee (and his heirs and
personal representatives).

         14.     HEADINGS.  The headings in this Agreement are solely for
convenience of reference and shall be given no effect in the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement.

         15.     GOVERNING LAW; VENUE.  This Agreement will be governed and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving
effect to rules governing conflicts of law, with proper venue with respect to
all disputes related to this Agreement being Dallas, Texas.

         16.     INVALIDITY.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any term of
this Agreement shall not invalidate, make unenforceable or otherwise affect any
other term of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

         17.     ATTORNEYS' FEES.  In the event any dispute or litigation
arises hereunder between any of the parties hereto, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it in connection
therewith (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs incurred before and at any trial or other proceeding and at all tribunal
levels), as well as all other relief granted in any suit or other proceeding.

                 or equity interest is owned directly or indirectly by the
                 Company, or any other corporation, limited partnership or
                 other entity that would be a Subsidiary determined on that
                 basis.

         3. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.

         4. PARTICIPANTS. The Committee shall, from time to time, select the
particular key Employees and Directors to whom Options are to be granted, and
who will, upon such grant, become Participants in the Plan. For purposes of the
Plan, "key Employees" are those officers and





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3
Employees (including officers and key Employees who are members of the Board)
whose performance and responsibilities are determined by the Committee to be
influential to the success of the Company. The Committee has the authority, in
its complete discretion, to grant Options to Participants. A Participant may be
granted more than one Option under the Plan, and Options may be granted at any
time or times during the term of the Plan.

         5.      STOCK OWNERSHIP LIMITATION. No Incentive Option may be granted
to an Employee who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or its Subsidiaries. This limitation will not apply if the
Option price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at
the time the Incentive Option is granted and the Incentive Option is not
exercisable more than five years from the date it is granted.

         6. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN. The Committee may not grant Options under
the Plan for more than 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock and may not grant
Options to any Participant for more than 250,000 shares of Common Stock, but
these numbers may be adjusted to reflect, if deemed appropriate by the
Committee, any stock dividend, stock split, share combination, recapitalization
or the like, of or by the Company. Shares to be optioned and sold may be made
available from either authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held
by the Company in its treasury. Shares that by reason of the expiration of an
Option or otherwise are no longer subject to purchase pursuant to an Option
granted under the Plan may be re-offered under the Plan.

         7.      LIMITATION ON AMOUNT. The aggregate fair market value
(determined at the time of grant) of the shares of Common Stock which any
Employee is first eligible to purchase in any calendar year by exercise of
Incentive Options granted under this Plan and all incentive stock option plans
of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall not exceed $100,000. For this purpose,
the fair market value (determined at the respective date of grant of each
option) of the Common Stock purchasable by exercise of an Incentive Option (or
an installment thereof) shall be counted against the $100,000 annual limitation
for an Employee only for the calendar year such stock is first purchasable
under the terms of the Option.

         8. ALLOTMENT OF SHARES. The Committee shall determine the number of
shares of Common Stock to be offered from time to time by grant of Options to
Employees and Directors under the Plan. The grant of an Option to an Employee
or to a Director shall not be deemed either to entitle the Employee or Director
to, or to disqualify the Employee or Director from, participation in any other
grant of Options under the Plan.

         9. GRANT OF OPTIONS. All Options granted under the Plan shall be
granted by the Committee, which is authorized to grant Incentive Options,
Nonqualified Options, or a combination of both, under the Plan; provided,
however, that unless provided otherwise by the Code or permitted by the
Internal Revenue Service, Incentive Options may be granted only to an
individual who is an Employee of the Company or a corporate Subsidiary (but not
a partnership or other non-corporate Subsidiary). The grant of Options shall
be evidenced by Option Agreements containing such terms





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4
and provisions as are approved by the Committee, but not inconsistent with the
Plan, including provisions that may be necessary to assure that any Option that
is intended to be an Incentive Option will comply with Section 422 of the Code.
The Company shall execute Option Agreements upon instructions from the
Committee. Except as provided otherwise in Sections 6 and 15, the terms of any
Option Agreement executed by the Company shall not be amended, modified or
changed without the written consent of the Company and the Employee or
Director. The Plan shall be submitted to the Company's shareholders for
approval. The Committee may grant Options under the Plan prior to the time of
shareholder approval, which Options will be effective when granted, but if for
any reason the shareholders of the Company do not approve the Plan prior to one
year from the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board, all Options granted
under the Plan will be terminated and of no effect, and no Option may be
exercised in whole or in part prior to such shareholder approval.

         10. OPTION PRICE. The Option price for an Option granted pursuant to
the Plan shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the
Common Stock on the date the Option is granted. The fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of grant shall be equal to the closing price per share
of the Common Stock on such date as reflected on any national securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, and if not traded on a national
securities exchange, the Committee shall determine the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of grant using any reasonable valuation method.

         11. OPTION PERIOD. The Option Period will begin on the date the Option
is granted, which will be the date the Committee authorizes the Option unless
the Committee specifies a later date. No Option may terminate later than ten
years from the date the Option is granted. The Committee may provide for the
exercise of Options in installments and, subject to the provisions hereof, upon
such terms, conditions and restrictions as it may determine. The Committee may
provide for termination of the Option in the case of termination of employment
or any other reason.

         12. RIGHTS IN EVENT OF DEATH OR DISABILITY. If a Participant dies or
becomes disabled [within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code] prior to
termination of his right to exercise an Option in accordance with the
provisions of his Option Agreement without having totally exercised the Option,
the Option Agreement may provide that it may be exercised, to the extent of the
shares with respect to which the Option could have been exercised by the
Participant on the date of the Participant's death or disability, (i) in the
case of death, by the Participant's estate or by the person who acquired the
right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the
death of the Participant, or (ii) in the case of disability, by the Participant
or his personal representative, provided the Option is exercised prior to the
date of its expiration or 365 days from the date of the Participant's death or
disability, whichever first occurs. The date of disability of a Participant
shall be determined by the Committee.

         13. PAYMENT. Full payment for shares purchased upon exercising an
Option shall be made in cash or by check or by tendering shares of Common Stock
at the fair market value per share at the time of exercise, or on such other
terms as are set forth in the applicable Option Agreement.





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5
No shares may be issued until full payment of the purchase price therefor has
been made, and a Participant will have none of the rights of a shareholder
until shares are issued to him.

         14. EXERCISE OF OPTION. Options granted under the Plan may be
exercised during the Option Period, at such times, in such amounts, in
accordance with such terms and subject to such restrictions as are set forth in
the applicable Option Agreements, including, if deemed appropriate by the
Committee, the acceleration of the time of exercise based on performance goals
and other factors. In no event may an Option be exercised or shares be issued
pursuant to an Option if any requisite action, approval or consent of any
governmental authority of any kind having jurisdiction over the exercise of
Options shall not have been taken or secured.

         15. CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS AND REORGANIZATIONS. The number of shares of
Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option granted under the Plan and the
Option price may be adjusted to reflect, as deemed appropriate by the
Committee, any stock dividend, stock split, share combination, exchange of
shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, separation, reorganization,
liquidation or the like, of or by the Company.

         16. NON-ASSIGNABILITY. Options may not be transferred other than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During a Participant's
lifetime, options granted to a Participant may be exercised only by the
Participant.

         17. INTERPRETATION. The Committee shall interpret the Plan and shall
prescribe such rules and regulations in connection with the operation of the
Plan as it determines to be advisable for the administration of the Plan. The
Committee may rescind and amend its rules and regulations.

         18. AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE. The Plan may be amended or
discontinued by the Board without the approval of the shareholders of the
Company, except that any amendment that would (a) materially increase the
number of securities that may be issued under the Plan, or (b) materially
modify the requirements of eligibility for participation in the Plan must be
approved by the shareholders of the Company.

         19. EFFECT OF PLAN. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any action of
the Board or the Committee shall be deemed to give any Employee or Director any
right to be granted an Option to purchase Common Stock or any other rights
except as may be evidenced by the Option Agreement, or any amendment thereto,
duly authorized by the Committee and executed on behalf of the Company and then
only to the extent and on the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein.

         20. TERM. Unless sooner terminated by action of the Board, this Plan
will terminate June 23, 2008. The Committee may not grant options under the
Plan after that date, but options granted before that date will continue to be
effective in accordance with their terms.

                                    FORM OF

                              BEARCOM GROUP, INC.

                      NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


         1. Grant of Option. Pursuant to the BearCom Group, Inc. 1998 Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") for key employees and certain directors of BearCom
Group, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, the Company grants to




                             ---------------------
                             (the "Option Holder")

a nonqualified stock option ("Option") to purchase from the Company a total of
___shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company (the "Common Stock")
at $__per share (representing at least the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of this grant), in the amounts, during the periods and upon
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. This Option is not
intended to constitute an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

         2. Time of Exercise. Except only as specifically provided elsewhere in
this Agreement, this Option is exercisable in the following cumulative
installments:

         First installment. Up to ___% of the total number of optioned shares
         at any time on or after a date that is ______________ from the grant
         date set forth in Section 14 hereof.

         Second installment. Up to an additional ___% of the total number of
         optioned shares at any time on or after a date that is
         ________________ from the grant date set forth in Section 14 hereof.

         Third installment. Up to an additional ___% of the total number of
         optioned shares at any time on or after a date that is
         __________________ from the grant date set forth in Section 14 hereof.

         Fourth installment. Up to an additional ___% of the total number of
         optioned shares at any time on or after a date that is
         ____________________ from the grant date set forth in Section 14
         hereof.

If an installment covers a fractional share, such installment will be rounded
off to the next highest share, except the final installment, which will be for
the balance of the total optioned shares. Upon the termination of the Option
Holder's employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for any
reason, or with respect to an Option Holder who is a non-employee director
("Director") of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), upon the
date the Option
<PAGE>   7
Holder ceases to be a Director, this Option will be exercisable only to the
extent and for the number of shares for which the Option Holder could have
exercised it on the date of his termination of employment or on the date he
ceases to be a director.

         3.      Exercise of Option. The exercise of this Option shall entitle
the Option Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company. If
requested by the Option Holder and approved by the committee (the "Committee")
appointed pursuant to the terms of the Plan by the Board to administer the
Plan, the Option Holder may exercise this Option or any portion hereof by
tendering shares of Common Stock, in lieu of cash payment for the Option shares
being purchased, with the number of shares tendered to be determined based on
the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the date of exercise, as
quoted on the New York Stock Exchange or successor stock exchange thereto, or
other national securities exchange, or if not so quoted, as determined by the
Committee, provided that such shares either (i) have been owned by the Option
Holder for more than six months and have been "paid for" within the meaning of
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 or (ii) were obtained by
the Option Holder in the public market.

         4. Subject to Plan. This Option and the grant and exercise thereof are
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein
by reference and made a part hereof, but the terms of the Plan shall not be
considered an enlargement of any benefits under this Agreement. In addition,
this Option is subject to any rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the
Plan, now or hereafter in effect.

         5. Term. This Option will terminate at the first of the following:

         (a)     5 p.m. on ___, 20_[10 years from the date of grant].

         (b)     5 p.m. on the date 365 days following the date of the Option
                 Holder's death or disability (as described in Section 6).

         (c)     5 p.m. on the date 30 days following the date the Option
                 Holder's employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the
                 Company, or service as a Director, terminates for reasons
                 other than "good cause" (as hereinafter defined) or for a
                 reason described in Section 5(b) above.

         (d)     Upon the termination of the Option Holder's employment with
                 the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or upon
                 termination of the Option Holder's service as a Director, for
                 "good cause", this Option will terminate immediately and the
                 Option Holder will forfeit any right to exercise any portion
                 of this Option. As used in this Agreement, "good cause" shall
                 mean Option Holder's (i) commission of a felony or any other
                 criminal act which the Board considers materially damaging to
                 the reputation of the Company, (ii) fraud, (iii) dishonesty,
                 self-dealing, or embezzlement,





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   8
                 (iv) violation of the Company's published policies, or (v)
                 gross or intentional neglect of duty.

         6. Who May Exercise. During the lifetime of the Option Holder, this
Option may be exercised only by the Option Holder. If the Option Holder dies or
becomes disabled [within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code] prior to
the termination date specified in Section 5 hereof without having exercised the
Option as to all of the shares covered hereby, the Option may be exercised to
the extent the Option Holder could have exercised the Option on or after the
date of his death or disability at any time prior to the earlier of the dates
specified in Sections 5(a) and (b) hereof by (i) the Option Holder's estate or
a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance or by reason of the death of the Option Holder in the event of the
Option Holder's death, or (ii) the Option Holder or his personal representative
in the event of the Option Holder's disability, subject to the other terms of
this Agreement, the Plan and applicable laws, rules and regulations. For
purposes of this Agreement, the Committee shall determine the date of
disability of the Option Holder.

         7. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option:

         (a)     may be exercised only with respect to full shares and no
                 fractional share of stock shall be issued;

         (b)     may not be exercised in whole or in part and no certificates
                 representing shares subject to such Option shall be delivered,
                 if any requisite approval or consent of any government
                 authority of any kind having jurisdiction over the exercise of
                 options shall not have been secured; and

         (c)     must be exercised prior to the date specified in Section 5(a)
                 and may be exercised only if at all times during the period
                 beginning with the date of the granting of the Option and
                 ending on the date that is 30 days prior to the date of
                 exercise the Option Holder was an employee of either the
                 Company or a subsidiary of the Company or a Director;
                 provided, however, if the Option Holder's continuous
                 employment, or service as a Director, is terminated by
                 disability or death, or if the Option Holder dies within said
                 30-day period, the Option may be exercised in accordance with
                 Section 5(b), or if the Option Holder's continuous employment,
                 or service as a Director, is terminated for good cause, the
                 Option will terminate as provided in Section 5(d).

         8. Manner of Exercise. Subject to such administrative regulations as
the Committee may from time to time adopt, the Option Holder or, if applicable,
Option Holder's beneficiary shall, in order to exercise this Option:

         (a)     give written notice to the Committee of the exercise price and
                 the number of shares which he will purchase and furnish an
                 undertaking to make payment of such exercise price in United
                 States dollars before issuance of such shares; or





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   9
         (b)     give written notice to the Committee of the exercise price and
                 the number of shares for which he is requesting approval from
                 the Committee to tender other shares of Common Stock in
                 exchange for Option shares.

         Any notice shall include an undertaking to furnish or execute such
documents as the Committee in its discretion shall deem necessary (i) to
evidence such exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option evidenced by this
Agreement, (ii) to determine whether registration is then required under the
Securities Act of 1933, or any other law, as then in effect, (iii) to comply
with or satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, or any other
law, as then in effect and (iv) to evidence that the shares of Common Stock
being tendered satisfy the conditions described in Section 3.

         In addition, if an exercise under paragraph (b) above is requested,
the notice shall include an undertaking to tender to the Company (i) promptly
after receipt of denial by the Committee of the paragraph (b) request, full
payment in United States dollars of the Option exercise price for the shares
being purchased hereunder or (ii) promptly after receipt of approval by the
Committee of exercise of this Option or portion thereof by payment of Common
Stock, full payment in Common Stock in exchange for the shares being purchased
hereunder. In addition, the Option Holder shall tender payment of the amount
that may be requested pursuant to Section 15 by the Company for the purpose of
satisfying its liability to withhold federal, state or local income or other
taxes incurred by reason of the exercise of this Option.

         The Committee shall advise the Option Holder or beneficiary in
writing, within ten business days after the first meeting of the Committee
following the date of exercise, whether the Committee approves the exchange of
Common Stock for Option stock being purchased. The Company must receive full
payment in United States dollars or the appropriate number of shares of Common
Stock, whichever applies, of the Option exercise price within five business
days after the date of the Committee's notice, unless the Committee extends the
time of payment.

         9. Non-Assignability. This Option is not assignable or transferable by
the Option Holder except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

         10. Rights of Shareholder. The Option Holder will have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any shares covered by this Option until the
issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Option Holder for the shares.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 11 hereof, no adjustment shall be made
for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the
issuance of such certificate or certificates.

         11. Capital Adjustments; Anti-dilution; Mergers. The number of shares
of Common Stock covered by this Option, and the exercise price thereof, may be
adjusted to reflect, as deemed appropriate by the Board or the Committee, any
stock dividend, stock split, share combination, or the like of or by the
Company. In the event of a merger, consolidation, share exchange,
reorganization, liquidation, recapitalization, separation or the like of or by
the Company, the Board or the Committee may make such arrangements as it deems
advisable with respect to outstanding





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   10
options granted under the Plan, which arrangements shall be binding upon Option
Holder, including, but not limited to, arrangements for the substitution of new
options for any options then outstanding, the assumption of any such options,
or payment for the outstanding options. If the Company becomes a party to an
agreement providing for the merger, consolidation or share exchange of or by
the Company and pursuant to that agreement the holders of Common Stock would
receive cash, securities or property from another person or entity and if the
Board or the Committee does not make arrangements for the substitution of new
options for any options then outstanding, the assumption of such options, or
payment for such options, the Plan shall terminate and this Option shall
terminate on the effective date of such transaction; provided, however, in such
circumstances (and unless this Option has previously terminated pursuant to
Section 5 hereof), this Option shall become immediately exercisable during the
five business days immediately preceding the effective date of such
transaction. If this Option would so terminate on the effective date of the
transaction, the Company shall give Option Holder at least 15 days' notice of
such termination and an opportunity to exercise this Option prior to such
termination.

         12.     Noncompetition Agreement. As a condition precedent to the
issuance of shares pursuant to the terms of this Option, the Option Holder, or
his guardian or personal representative must execute a Noncompetition Agreement
in the form of Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof and hereby
agrees to comply with all of the terms of such agreement. Concurrent with the
issuance of such shares, the Option Holder, his personal representative, or his
guardian shall execute such Noncompetition Agreement and deliver such executed
agreement to the Company. The Noncompetition Agreement attached as Exhibit "A"
may be modified upon agreement of the Company and the Option Holder, but either
party may require the other to execute the form of agreement attached to this
Agreement.

         13.     Law Governing. This Agreement is intended to be performed in

                              BEARCOM GROUP, INC.

                        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


         1.      Grant of Option. Pursuant to the BearCom Group, Inc. 1998
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan",) BearCom Group, Inc. (the "Company") grants to




                             ---------------------
                             (the "Option Holder")

an incentive stock option ("Option") to purchase from the Company a total of
_____shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company (the "Common
Stock") at $____ per share (representing at least the fair market value per
share of the Common Stock on the date of this grant), in the amounts, during
the periods and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. This
Option is intended to constitute an incentive stock option within the meaning
of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

         2.      Time of Exercise. Except only as specifically provided
elsewhere in this Agreement, this Option is exercisable in the following
cumulative installments:

         First installment. Up to ___% of the total optioned shares at any time
         after ______________ from the date of grant set forth in Section 14
         hereof.

         Second installment. Up to an additional ___% of the total optioned
         shares at any time after _________________ from the date of grant set
         forth in Section 14 hereof.

         Third installment. Up to an additional ___% of the total optioned
         shares at any time after __________________ from the date of grant set

         forth in Section 14 hereof.

If an installment covers a fractional share, such installment will be rounded

the balance of the total optioned shares. In the event of the Option Holder's
termination of employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company
[within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code or as otherwise may be
described with respect to incentive stock options by the Code or by Internal
Revenue Service from time to time ("Subsidiary")] for whatever reason, the

         3.      Exercise of Option. The exercise of this Option shall entitle
the Option Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company. If
requested by the Option Holder and approved by the committee (the "Committee")

Company (the "Board) to administer the Plan, the Option Holder may exercise
this Option or any portion hereof by tendering shares of Common Stock, in lieu
of cash payment for the Option shares being purchased, with the number of
shares tendered to be determined based on the closing price per share of the
Common Stock on the date of exercise, as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange
or successor stock exchange thereto, or other national securities exchange, or
if not so quoted, as determined by the Committee, provided that such shares
either (i) have been owned by the Option Holder for more than six months and
have been "paid for" within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933 or (ii) were obtained by the Option Holder in the public
market.

         4.      Subject to Plan. This Option and the grant and exercise
thereof are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, but the terms of the
Plan shall not be considered an enlargement of any benefits under this
Agreement. In addition, this Option is subject to any rules and regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Plan, now or hereafter in effect.

         5.      Term. This Option will terminate at the first of the
                 following:

         (a)     5 p.m. on ________, 20__ [10 years from the date of grant].

         (b)     5 p.m. on the date 365 days following the date of the Option
                 Holder's death or disability.

                 Holder's employment with the Company or a Subsidiary of the
                 Company terminates for reasons other than good cause (as
                 hereinafter defined) or for a reason described in Section 5(b)
                 above.

         (d)     Upon the termination of the Option Holder's employment with
                 the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company for "good cause",
                 this Option will terminate immediately and the Option Holder
                 will forfeit any right to exercise any portion of this Option.
                 As used in this Agreement, "good cause" shall mean Option
                 Holder's (i) commission of a felony or any other criminal act
                 which the Board considers materially damaging to the
                 reputation of the Company, (ii) fraud, (iii) dishonesty,
                 self-dealing, or embezzlement, (iv) violation of Company's
                 published policies, or (v) gross or intentional neglect of
                 duty.

         6.      Who May Exercise. During the lifetime of the Option Holder,

prior to the termination date specified in Section 5 hereof





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   14
without having exercised the Option as to all of the shares covered hereby, the
Option may be exercised to the extent the Option Holder could have exercised
the Option on the date of his death or disability at any time prior to the
earlier of the dates specified in Sections 5(a) and (b) hereof by (i) the
Option Holder's estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the
Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Option Holder
in the event of the Option Holder's death, or (ii) the Option Holder or his
personal representative in the event of the Option Holder's disability, subject
to the other terms of this Agreement, the Plan and applicable laws, rules and
regulations. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall determine the
date of disability of the Option Holder.

                 fractional share of stock shall be issued;

         (b)     may not be exercised in whole or in part and no cash or
                 certificates representing shares subject to such Option shall
                 be delivered, if any requisite approval or consent of any
                 government authority of any kind having jurisdiction over the
                 exercise of options shall not have been secured; and

         (c)     must be exercised prior to the date specified in Section 5(a)
                 and may be exercised only if at all times during the period
                 beginning with the date of the granting of the Option and
                 ending on the date 30 days prior to the date of exercise the
                 Option Holder was an employee of either the Company or a
                 Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, if the Option
                 Holder's continuous employment is terminated by disability or
                 death, or if the Option Holder dies within said 30-day period,
                 the Option may be exercised in accordance with Section 5(b),
                 or if the Option Holder's continuous employment is terminated
                 for good cause, the Option will terminate as provided in
                 Section 5(d).

         8.      Manner of Exercise. Subject to such administrative regulations
as the Committee may from time to time adopt, the Option Holder or, if
applicable, Option Holder's beneficiary shall, in order to exercise this
Option:

                 the number of shares which he will purchase and furnish an
                 undertaking to make payment of such exercise price in United
                 States dollars before issuance of such shares; or

         (b)     give written notice to the Committee of the exercise price and
                 the number of shares for which he is requesting approval from

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   15
         Any notice shall include an undertaking to furnish or execute such
documents as the Committee in its discretion shall deem necessary (i) to
evidence such exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option evidenced by this
Agreement, (ii) to determine whether registration is then required under the
Securities Act of 1933, or any other law, as then in effect, and (iii) to
comply with or satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, or any
other law, as then in effect, (iii) to comply with or satisfy the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, or any other law, as then in effect and (iv) to
evidence that the shares of Common Stock being tendered satisfy the conditions
described in Section 3.

         In addition, if an exercise under paragraph (b) above is requested,
the notice shall include an undertaking to tender to the Company (i) promptly
after receipt of denial by the Committee of the paragraph (b) request, full
payment in United States dollars of the Option exercise price for the shares
being purchased hereunder or (ii) promptly after receipt of approval by the
Committee of exercise of this Option or portion thereof by payment of Common
Stock, full payment in Common Stock in exchange for the shares being purchased
hereunder.

         The Committee shall advise the Option Holder or beneficiary in
writing, within ten business days after the first meeting of the Committee
following the date of exercise, whether the Committee approves the exchange of
Common Stock for Option stock being purchased. The Company must receive full
payment in United States dollars or the appropriate number of shares of Common
Stock, whichever applies, of the Option exercise price within five business
days after the date of the Committee's notice, unless the Committee extends the
time of payment.

         9.      Non-Assignability. This Option is not assignable or
transferable by the Option Holder except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.

         10.     Rights of Shareholder. The Option Holder will have no rights
as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by this Option until the
issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Option Holder for the shares.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 11 hereof, no adjustment shall be made
for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the
issuance of such certificate or certificates.

         11.     Capital Adjustments; Anti-dilution; Mergers. The number of
shares of Common Stock covered by this Option, and the exercise price thereof,
may be adjusted to reflect, as deemed appropriate by the Board or the
Committee, any stock dividend, stock split, share combination, or the like of
or by the Company. In the event of a merger, consolidation, share exchange,
reorganization, liquidation, recapitalization, separation or the like of or by
the Company, the Board or the Committee may make such arrangements as it deems
advisable with respect to outstanding options granted under the Plan, which
arrangements shall be binding upon Option Holder, including, but not limited
to, arrangements for the substitution of new options for any options then
outstanding, the assumption of any such options, or payment for the outstanding
options. Any such arrangement shall comply with the requirements of Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as





                                      -4-

amended, and the regulations thereunder. If the Company becomes a party to an
agreement providing for the merger, consolidation or share exchange of or by
the Company and pursuant to that agreement the holders of Common Stock would
receive cash, securities or property from another person or entity and if the
Board or the Committee does not make arrangements for the substitution of new
options for any options then outstanding, the assumption of such options, or
payment for such options, the Plan shall terminate and this Option shall
terminate on the effective date of such transaction; provided, however, in such
circumstances (and unless this Option has previously terminated pursuant to
Section 5 hereof), this Option shall become immediately exercisable during the
five business days immediately preceding the effective date of such
transaction. If this Option would so terminate on the effective date of the
transaction, the Company shall give Option Holder at least 15 days' notice of
such termination and an opportunity to exercise this Option prior to such
termination.

issuance of shares pursuant to the terms of this Option, the Option Holder, or
his guardian or personal representative must execute a Noncompetition Agreement
in the form of Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof and hereby
agrees to comply with all of the terms of such agreement. Concurrent with the
issuance of such shares, the Option Holder, his personal representative, or his
guardian shall execute such Noncompetition Agreement and deliver such executed
agreement to the Company. The Noncompetition Agreement attached as Exhibit "A"
may be modified upon agreement of the Company and the Option Holder, but either
party may require the other to execute the form of agreement attached to this
Agreement.

         13.     Law Governing. This Agreement is intended to be performed in
the State of Texas and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and
governed by the laws of such State.

         14.     Date of Grant. The date of grant of this Option is ________,

                          the Revolving Note; provided that if at any time the
                          aggregate principal amount of the outstanding loans
                          under the Revolving Line of Credit exceeds the
                          maximum amount permitted by this subsection 1(a) for

                 6.       Miscellaneous.

                          A.   Effectiveness. Except as specified herein, all 
         terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents
         shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.  The parties
         hereto agree and acknowledge that neither the Bank's consent to, nor
         its knowledge of, the execution of the agreements, bills of sale and
         other documents described in the Recitals to this Amendment shall be
         construed as an express or implied amendment or waiver of any term,
         condition or restriction set forth in the Loan Agreement or other Loan
         Documents, except as expressly amended or waived hereinabove.
         Further, the Company hereby ratifies and reaffirms the Company's
         obligations and agreements under the Loan Documents, agrees that the
         Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding
         execution of this Amendment, and agrees that the Loan Documents shall
         continue to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
         Company, enforceable in accordance with the terms therein.  In
         furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees that the
         "Obligations" as defined in the Security Agreement, include, without
         limitation, the obligations, indebtedness and liability of the Company
         to the Bank under the Loan Agreement, this Amendment and the Revolving
         Note executed pursuant hereto.

                          B.  Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All
         representations and warranties made in this Amendment or in any other
         Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this
         Amendment and any other Loan Documents and no investigation by the
         Bank or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or
         the right of the Bank to rely upon them.

                          C.  Reference to Agreement. Each of the Loan Documents
         are hereby amended so that any reference in such Loan Documents to the
         Loan Agreement shall mean a reference to the Loan Agreement as amended
         hereby.

                          D.  Severability. Any provision of this Amendment held
         by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or enforceable
         shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of this Amendment and any
         effect thereof shall be confined to the provisions so held to be
         invalid or unenforceable.

                          E.  Successors and Assigns.  This Amendment is binding
         upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and the Bank and
         their respective successors and assigns, except that the Company may
         not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
         without the prior written consent of the Bank.

                          F.  Effective Waiver. No consent or waiver expressed
         or implied by the Bank to or for any breach of or deviation from any
         convent, condition or duty by the Company shall be deemed a consent or
         waiver to or of any other breach of the same or any other covenant,
         condition or duty.

                          G.  Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by
         and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

                          H.  Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in 
         any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall 
         constitute one and the same agreement and any of the parties hereto 
         may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart.

                          I.  NO ORAL AGREEMENTS.  THIS AMENDMENT CONSTITUTES A
         WRITTEN AGREEMENT THAT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
         PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
         CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE
         ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE
         LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Industrial Lease

LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between DFW Nine, a
California limited partnership hereinafter referred to as "Lessor", and
Page-Com, Incorporated, a Texas corporation, hereinafter referred to as
"Lessee".

                                   WITNESSETH:

      1. PREMISES AND TERM.

      A. In consideration of the mutual obligations of Lessor and Lessee set
forth herein, Lessor leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby takes from Lessor, the
Leased Premises containing approximately 36,736 rentable square feet located at
11545 Pagemill Road, Dallas, situated within the County of Dallas, State of
Texas, located on the real property more particularly described on EXHIBIT "A"
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, (the "Leased Premises"),
together with all rights, privileges, easements, appurtenances, and amenities
belonging to or in any way pertaining to the Leased Premises, to have and to
hold, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions in this Lease.

      B. The term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date (herein
so called) hereinafter set forth and shall end on the last day of the month that
is thirty-eight (38) months after the Commencement Date.

      C. EXISTING BUILDING. If no improvements are to be constructed to the
Leased Premises, the Commencement Date shall be December 1, 1993. Lessee
acknowledges that: (i) it has inspected and accepts the Leased Premises, (ii)
the buildings and improvements comprising the same are suitable for the purpose
for which the Leased Premises are leased, (iii) the Leased Premises are in good
and satisfactory condition, and (iv) no representations as to the repair of the
Leased Premises, nor promises to alter, remodel or improve the Leased Premises,
have been made by Lessor (unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease).

      D. BUILDING TO BE CONSTRUCTED OR SHELL SPACE. If the Leased Premises or
part thereof are to be constructed, the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be
the date upon which the Leased Premises and other improvements to be erected in
accordance with the plans and specifications described on Exhibit "B" attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Plans") have been
substantially completed. As used herein, the term "substantially completed"
shall mean that in the opinion of the architect or space planner that prepared
the Plans, such improvements have been completed in accordance with the Plans
and the Leased Premises are in good and satisfactory condition, subject only to
completion of minor punch list items. As soon as such improvements have been
substantially completed, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing that the
Commencement Date has occurred. Within ten (10) days thereafter, Lessee shall
submit to Lessor in writing a punch list of items needing completion or
correction. Lessor shall use its best efforts to complete such items within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice. In the event Lessee, its
employees, agents or contractors cause construction of such improvements to be
delayed, the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the date that, in the
opinion of the architect or space planner that prepared the Plans, substantial
completion would have occurred if such delays had not taken place.

      E. The occupancy of the Leased Premises by Lessee shall constitute the
acknowledgement and agreement of Lessee that Lessee has inspected the Leased
Premises, that Lessee is fully familiar with the physical condition of the
Leased Premises, that Lessee has received same in good order and condition and
that the Leased Premises comply in all respects with the requirements of this
Lease and are specifically suitable to Lessee's purpose. LESSOR AND LESSEE AGREE
THAT LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
CONCERNING THE REPAIR OR CONDITION OF THE LEASED PREMISES OR THE FITNESS OR
SUITABILITY OF THE LEASED PREMISES FOR LESSEE'S INTENDED USE, OTHER THAN AS
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE. LESSEE HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND SPECIFICALLY
WAIVES ALL SUCH WARRANTIES.

      2. BASE RENT, SECURITY DEPOSIT, AND ESCROW PAYMENTS.

      A. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor rent for the Leased Premises, in
advance, without demand, deduction or set off, at the rate of "see Exhibit "B"
Base Rent Schedule" during the term hereof. One such monthly installment, plus
the other monthly charges set forth in Paragraph 2C below, shall be due and
payable on the date hereof and a like monthly installment shall be due and
payable on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the
Commencement Date, except that all payments due hereunder for any fractional
calendar month shall be prorated.

   
      B. Lessee agrees to pay its Proportionate Share (as defined in Paragraph
23B) of (i) taxes payable by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 3A, (ii) the cost of
maintaining insurance pursuant to paragraph 9, and (iii) all common area charges
including, without limitation, the cost of repairs pursuant to Paragraph 4, the
cost of utilities pursuant to Paragraph 8, and the cost of security service
pursuant to Paragraph 24. All such charges listed in this subparagraph 2C (iii)
are collectively referred to in this Lease, and particularly in this Paragraph
2C, as Common Area Charges. During each month of the term of this Lease, on the
same day that rent is due hereunder, Lessee shall escrow with Lessor an amount
equal to 1/12 of the estimated annual cost of its Proportionate Share of such
items. Lessee authorizes Lessor to use the funds deposited with Lessor under
this Paragraph 2C to pay such costs. The initial monthly escrow payments are
based upon the estimated amounts for the calendar year in which the Lease
commences, and shall be
    



MERIDIAN POINT LEASE REVISED 11/18/92



<PAGE>   3



increased or decreased annually to reflect the projected actual cost of all such
items. If the Lessee's total escrow payments are less than Lessee's actual
Proportionate Share of all such items, Lessee shall pay the difference to Lessor
within ten (10) days after demand. If the total escrow payments of Lessee are
more than Lessee's actual proportionate share of all such items, Lessor shall
retain such excess and credit it against Lessee's next annual escrow payments.
The amount of the monthly rental and the initial monthly escrow payments are
collectively denominated in this Lease as "Rent", and is itemized as follows:

          (1) Initial Base Rent as set forth in Paragraph 2A  $   8,418.67

</TABLE>

      3. TAXES.

      A. Lessor agrees to pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges of
any kind and nature (collectively referred to herein as "Taxes") that accrue
against the Leased Premises, and/or the land and/or improvements of which the
Leased Premises are a part. If at any time during the term of this Lease, there
shall be levied, assessed or imposed on Lessor a capital levy or other tax
directly on the rents received therefrom and/or a franchise tax, assessment,
levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from
the Leased Premises and/or other land and improvements of which the Leased
Premises are a part, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, or the
part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the
term "Taxes" for the purposes hereof. The Lessor shall have the right to employ
a tax consulting firm to attempt to assure a fair tax burden on the building and
grounds within the applicable taxing jurisdiction. Lessee agrees to pay its
Proportionate Share of the cost of such consultant.

      B. Lessee shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against any
personal property or fixtures placed in the Leased Premises. If any such taxes
are levied or assessed against Lessor or Lessor's property and (i) Lessor pays
the same or (ii) the assessed value of Lessor's property is increased by
inclusion of such personal property and fixtures and Lessor pays the increased
taxes, then upon demand, Lessee shall pay to Lessor such taxes.

      4. LESSOR'S REPAIRS

      A. Lessor, at its own cost and expense, shall maintain only the roof,
foundation and the structural soundness of the exterior walls of the building of
which the Leased Premises are a part in good repair, reasonable wear and tear
excluded. The term "walls" as used herein, shall not include windows, glass or
plate glass, doors, special store fronts or office entries. Lessee shall
immediately give Lessor written notice of defect or need for repairs, after
which Lessor shall have reasonable opportunity to repair same or cure same.

      B. Lessor reserves the right to perform the paving, common area and
landscape replacement and maintenance, exterior painting, common sewage line
plumbing and any other items that are otherwise Lessee's obligations under
Paragraph 5A, in which event, Lessee shall be liable for its Proportionate Share
of the cost and expense of such repair, replacement, maintenance and other such
items.

      C. Lessee agrees to pay its Proportionate Share of the cost of (i)
maintenance and/or landscaping of any property that is a part of the building
and/or project of which the Leased Premises are a part, (ii) maintenance and/or
landscaping of any property that is maintained or landscaped by any property
owner or community owner association that is named in the restrictive covenants
or deed restrictions to which the Leased Premises are subject, and (iii)
operating and maintaining any property, facilities or services provided for the
common use of Lessee and other lessees of any project or building of which the
Leased Premises are a part.

      5. LESSEE'S REPAIRS

      A. Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall (i) maintain all parts of
the Leased Premises, landscape and grounds surrounding the Leased Premises
(except those for which Lessor is expressly responsible hereunder) in good
condition, (ii) promptly make all necessary repairs and replacements, (iii) keep
the parking areas, driveways and alleys surrounding the Leased Premises in a
clean and sanitary condition, and (iv) maintain any spur track servicing the
Leased Premises. Lessee agrees to sign a joint maintenance agreement with the
railroad company servicing the Leased Premises if requested by the railroad
company. Lessor shall have the right to coordinate all repairs and maintenance
of any rail tracks serving or intended to serve the Leased Premises and, if
Lessee uses such rail tracks, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor from time to time,
upon demand, for its Proportionate Share of the costs of such repairs and
maintenance and any other sums specified in any agreement respecting such tracks
to which Lessor is a party.

      B. Lessee and its employees, customers and licensees shall have the
exclusive rights to use any parking areas that have been designated for such use
by Lessor in writing, subject to (i) all rules and regulations promulgated by
Lessor and (ii) rights of ingress and egress of other lessees. Lessor shall not
be responsible for enforcing Lessee's parking rights against any third parties.
Lessee agrees not to use more spaces than so provided. In the absence of written
designation of parking spaces by Lessor, Lessee shall have a license to use
parking spaces at the Leased Premises, subject to use of the parking spaces by
other lessees of the building or project in which the Leased Premises is
located.

      C. Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall enter into a regularly
scheduled preventive maintenance/service contract with a maintenance contractor
approved by Lessor for servicing all hot water, heating and air conditioning

      6. ALTERATIONS.

      A. Lessee shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the
Leased Premises without the prior written consent of Lessor. Lessee, at its own
cost and expense, may erect such shelves, bins, machinery and trade fixtures as
it desires provided that: (i) such items do not alter the basic character of the
Leased Premises or the building and/or improvements of which the Leased Premises
are a part; (ii) such items do not overload or damage the same; (iii) such items
may be removed without injury to the Leased Premises; and (iv) the construction,
erection or installation thereof complies with all applicable governmental laws,
ordinances, regulations and with Lessor's specifications and requirements. All
alterations, additions, improvements and partitions erected by Lessee shall be
and remain the property of Lessor. All shelves, bins, machinery and trade
fixtures installed by Lessee shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be
removed on or before the earlier to occur of the date of termination of this
Lease or vacating the Leased Premises, at which time Lessee shall restore the
Leased Premises to their original condition. All alterations, installations,
removals and restoration shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner so
as not to damage or alter the primary structure or structural qualities of the
buildings and other improvements situated on the Leased Premises or of which the
Leased Premises are a part.

      7. SIGNS.

      A. Any signage Lessee desires for the Premises shall be subject to
Lessor's written approval and shall be submitted to Lessor prior to the
Commencement Date of this Lease. Lessee shall repair, paint, and/or replace the
building facia surface to which its signs are attached upon vacation of the
Leased Premises, or the removal or alteration of its signage. Lessee shall not:
(i) make any changes to the exterior of the Leased Premises, (ii) install any
exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners or painting, or
(iii) erect or install any signs, windows or door lettering, placards,
decorations or advertising media of any type which can be viewed from the
exterior of the Leased Premises, without Lessor's prior written consent. All
signs, decorations, advertising media, blinds, draperies and other window
treatment or bars or other security installations visible from the outside of
the Leased Premises shall conform in all respects to the criteria established by
the Lessor.

      8. UTILITIES.

      A. Lessor agrees to provide normal water and electricity service to the
Leased Premises. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone, sewer, sprinkler charges and other utilities and services used on or
at the Leased Premises, together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the
like pertaining to the Lessee's use of the Leased Premises, and any maintenance
charges for utilities. Lessor shall have the right to cause any of said services
to be separately metered to Lessee, at Lessee's expense. Lessee shall pay its
Proportionate Share, as reasonably determined by Lessor, of all charges for
jointly metered utilities.

      B. No interruption or malfunction of any utility service, or if either the
quantity or character of any utility service is changed or is no longer
available to or is no longer suitable for Lessee's requirements, shall
constitute an eviction or disturbance of Lessee's use or possession of the
Leased Premises or a breach by Lessor of any of Lessor's obligations hereunder
or render Lessor liable or responsible to Lessee for any damage which Lessee may
sustain or incur or entitle Lessee to be relieved from any of Lessee's
obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay
Rent, or grant Lessee any right to set-off, abatement, or recoupment. The
failure by Lessor to furnish, or any slowdown, stoppage, or interruption of, any
utility service resulting from causes beyond the control of Lessor, including
without limitation, Lessor's compliance with any voluntary or similar
governmental or business guidelines now or hereafter published or any
requirements now or hereafter established by any governmental agency, board, or
bureau having jurisdiction over the operation of the Building, shall not render
Lessor liable in any respect for damages to either persons, property, or
business, or be construed as an eviction of Lessee or work an abatement of Rent,
nor relieve Lessee of Lessee's obligations for fulfillment of any covenant or
agreement hereof. Should any equipment or machinery furnished by Lessor break
down or for any cause cease to function properly, Lessor shall use reasonable
diligence to repair same promptly, but Lessee shall have no claim for abatement
of Rent or damages on account of any interruption of service occasioned thereby
or resulting therefrom.

      9. INSURANCE.

      A. Lessor shall maintain replacement cost broad form fire and extended
coverage insurance on the Leased Premises or on the building of which the Leased
Premises are a part in such amount as may be required by Lessor's mortgagee.

     B. Lessee, at its own expense, shall maintain during the term of this Lease
a policy or policies of worker's compensation and comprehensive general
liability insurance, including personal injury and property damage, with
contractual liability endorsement, in the amount of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) for property damage and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per
occurrence for personal injuries or deaths of persons occurring in or about the
Leased Premises. Lessee, at its own expense, also shall maintain during the term
of this Lease broad form fire and extended coverage insurance covering the
replacement cost of: (i) all alterations, additions, partitions and improvements
installed or placed on the Leased Premises by Lessee or by Lessor on behalf of
Lessee and (ii) all of Lessee's personal property contained within the Leased
Premises. Said policies shall (i) name Lessor as an additional insured and
insure Lessor's contingent liability under this Lease (except for the worker's
compensation policy, which instead shall include waiver of subrogation
endorsement in favor of Lessor), (ii) be issued by an insurance company which is
rated "A" XI or better by Best's Rating Service and, (iii) provide that said
insurance shall not be cancelled or modified unless thirty (30) days prior
written notice shall have been given to Lessor. Said policy or policies or
certificates thereof shall be delivered to Lessor by Lessee upon commencement of
the term of the Lease and upon each renewal of said insurance.

      C. Lessee, will not permit the Leased Premises to be used for any purpose
or in any manner that would (i) void the insurance thereon, (ii) increase the
insurance risk or the premiums for insurance, or (iii) cause the disallowance of
any sprinkler credits, including without limitation, use of the Leased Premises
for the receipt, storage or handling of any product, material or merchandise
that is, explosive or highly inflammable. If any increase in the cost of any
insurance on the Leased Premises or the building of which the Leased Premises
are a part is caused by Lessee's use of the Leased Premises, or because Lessee
vacates the Leased Premises, then Lessee shall pay the amount of such increase
to Lessor.

      10. FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE.

      A. If the Leased Premises or the building of which the Leased Premises are
a part should be damaged or destroyed by fire or other peril, Lessee immediately
shall give written notice to Lessor. If the buildings situated upon the Leased
Premises or of which the Leased Premises are a part should be totally destroyed
by any peril covered by the insurance to be provided by Lessor under Paragraph
9A above, or if they should be so damaged hereby that, in Lessor's estimation,
rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days
after the date of such damage, this Leased shall terminate and the Rent shall be
abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective upon the date of
the occurrence of such damage

      B. If the buildings situated upon the Leased Premises or of which the
Leased Premises are a part should be damaged by any peril covered by the
insurance to be provided by Lessor under Paragraph 9A above, and in Lessor's
estimation, rebuilding or repairs can be substantially completed within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage, this Lease shall not
terminate, and Lessor shall restore the Leased Premises to substantially its
previous condition, except that Lessor shall not be required to rebuild, repair
or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures, additions and other
improvements that may have been constructed, erected or installed in, on or
about the Leased Premises or for the benefit of, or by or for Lessee. If such
repairs and rebuilding have not been substantially completed within one hundred
eighty (180) days after the date of such damage, Lessee, as Lessee's exclusive
remedy, may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to
Lessor, in which event the rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and
terminate.

      C. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the
holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Leased Premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such
indebtedness, then Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
delivering written notice of termination to Lessee within fifteen (15) days
after such requirement is made known by any such holder, whereupon all rights
and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate.

      D. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessor and
Lessee hereby waive and release each other of any from any and all rights of
recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against each other, their agents,
officers and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Leased
Premises, improvements to the building of which the Leased Premises are a part,
or personal property (building contents) within the building and/or Leased
Premises, for any reason regardless of cause or origin. Each party to this Lease
agrees immediately after execution of this Lease to give each insurance company
which has issued to it policies of fire and extended coverage insurance, written
notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this subparagraph, and if
necessary, to have the insurance policies properly endorsed.

      11. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

            LESSOR AND LESSEE AGREE THAT THE OBLIGATIONS AND COVENANTS CONTAINED
IN THIS PARAGRAPH ARE SPECIFICALLY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE LESSOR'S
EXECUTION OF THIS LEASE. LESSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO LESSEE OR LESSEE'S
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PATRONS OR VISITORS, OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON WHOMSOEVER, FOR
ANY INJURY TO PERSON OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY ON OR ABOUT THE LEASED PREMISES, THE
COMMON AREAS OR THE PROPERTY UPON WHICH THE LEASED PREMISES IS LOCATED,
RESULTING FROM AND/OR CAUSED IN PART OR WHOLE BY THE ACT, OMISSION, NEGLIGENCE
OR MISCONDUCT OF LESSEE, ITS AGENTS, SERVANTS OR EMPLOYEES, OR ANY OTHER PERSON
ENTERING UPON THE LEASED PREMISES, OR CAUSED BY THE BUILDING AND/OR IMPROVEMENTS
LOCATED ON THE LEASED PREMISES BECOMING OUT OF REPAIR, OR CAUSED BY LEAKAGE OF
GAS, OIL, WATER OR STEAM OR BY ELECTRICITY EMANATING FROM THE LEASED PREMISES,
OR DUE TO THE CONDUCT OF LESSEE'S BUSINESS AT THE LEASED PREMISES OR DUE TO A
DEFAULT BY LESSEE IN ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, OR DUE TO ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER,
INCLUDING THE NEGLIGENCE OF LESSOR, AND/OR LESSOR'S AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES, AND
LESSEE HEREBY COVENANTS AND AGREES THAT IT WILL AT ALL TIMES INDEMNIFY AND HOLD
SAFE AND HARMLESS THE LEASED PREMISES, THE LESSOR, LESSOR'S AGENTS AND
EMPLOYEES, FROM ANY LOSS, LIABILITY, CLAIMS, SUITS, COSTS AND EXPENSES,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ATTORNEY'S FEES AND DAMAGES, BOTH REAL AND ALLEGED,
ARISING OUT OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE OR INJURY; EXCEPT INJURY TO PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY THE SOLE CAUSE OF WHICH IS THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT
OF LESSOR OR THE FAILURE OF LESSOR TO REPAIR ANY PART OF THE LEASED PREMISES
WHICH LESSOR IS OBLIGATED TO REPAIR AND MAINTAIN HEREUNDER WITHIN A REASONABLE
TIME AFTER THE RECEIPT OF WRITTEN NOTICE FROM LESSEE OF NEEDED REPAIRS. LESSEE
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER AND INDEMNITY INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INJURY
AND/OR DAMAGE WHICH IS THE RESULT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF LESSOR, AND/OR ITS
AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH 11 SHALL SURVIVE THE
EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS OR LIABILITY

      12. USE.

            The Leased Premises shall be used only for the purpose of receiving,
storing, shipping and selling (other than retail) products, materials and
merchandise made and/or distributed by Lessee and for such other lawful purposes
as may be incidental thereto. Any use that would cause the Leased Premises to be
deemed a 'place of public accommodation' under the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990 is expressly prohibited. Outside storage, including without
limitation, storage of trucks and other vehicles, is prohibited without Lessor's
prior written consent. Lessee shall comply with all governmental laws,
ordinances and regulations applicable to the use of the Leased Premises, and
promptly shall comply with all governmental orders and directives for the
correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances in or upon, or connected with,
the Leased Premises, all at Lessee's sole expense. Lessee shall not permit any
objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise or vibrations to

constitute a nuisance or would disturb, unreasonably interfere with, or endanger
Lessor or any other lessees of the building or project in which the Leased
Premises are a part.

            Lessor and Lessor's agents and representatives shall have the right
to enter the Leased Premises at any reasonable time during business hours, to

(30) days prior to vacating the Leased Premises and shall arrange to meet with

the Leased Premises.

      14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

      A. Lessee shall not: (i) assign this Lease or any interest therein; nor
(ii) sublease the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, without the Lessor's
prior written consent. If Lessee is not a natural person, the acquisition of a
controlling interest in Lessee shall be deemed an assignment for purposes
hereof. As used herein, the phase "controlling interest" shall mean ownership in
excess of forty-nine percent (49%) of the voting interest of Lessee. Any
attempted assignment or sublease by Lessee in violation of the terms and
covenants of this paragraph shall be void.

      B. If Lessee requests Lessor's consent to an assignment of the Lease or a
subletting of all or part of the Leased Premises, Lessor shall either (i)
approve such sublease or assignment (but no approval of an assignment or
sublease shall relieve Lessee of any liability hereunder), or (ii) negotiate
directly with the proposed sublessee or assignee (provided that, unless
otherwise agreed by Lessee, the terms and conditions of such third party lease
agreement are not more or less favorable to such proposed sublessee or assignee
than the corresponding terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or
sublease between Lessee and such third party) and (in the event Lessor is able
to reach agreement with such proposed sublessee or assignee) upon execution of a
lease with such proposed sublessee or assignee, terminate this Lease (in part or
in whole, as appropriate) upon thirty (30) days' notice, or (iii) if Lessor
shall fail to notify Lessee in writing of its decision within a thirty (30) day
period after Lessor has received notice in writing of the proposed assignment or
sublease, Lessor shall be deemed to have refused to consent to such assignment
or sublease, and to have elected to keep this Lease in full force and effect.

      C. All cash or other proceeds of any assignment, sale or sublease of
Lessee's interest in the Lease and/or the Leased Premises, whether consented to
by Lessor or not, shall be paid to Lessor notwithstanding the fact that such
proceeds exceed the Rent called for hereunder, unless Lessor agrees to the
contrary in writing, and Lessee hereby assigns all rights it might have or ever
acquire in any such proceeds to Lessor. This covenant and assignment shall
benefit Lessor and its successors in ownership of the Leased Premises and shall
bind Lessee and Lessee's heirs, executors, administrators, personal
representatives, successors and assigns. Any assignee, sublessee or purchaser of
Lessee's interest in this Lease (all such assignees, sublessees or purchasers
being hereinafter referred to as "Successors"), by occupying the Leased Premises
and/or assuming Lessee's obligations hereunder, shall be deemed to have assumed
liability to Lessor for all amounts paid to persons other than Lessor by such
Successor in consideration of any such sale, assignment or subletting, in
violation of the provisions hereof.

      D. No assignment or subletting, whether or not with Lessor's consent,
shall ever relieve Lessee of any liability hereunder.

      E. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et. seq., (the 
"Bankruptcy Code"), any and all monies or other consideration payable or
otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or
delivered to Lessor, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Lessor and
shall not constitute property of Lessee or of the estate of Lessee within the
meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other considerations
constituting Lessor's property under the preceding sentence not paid or
delivered to Lessor shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lessor and be
promptly paid or delivered to Lessor. The inclusion of this subparagraph in this
Lease is not intended as, and shall not be construed as, the Landlord's consent
to an assignment and/or assumption of this Lease.

      F. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed, without further act or deed,
to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the
date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall upon demand execute and deliver
to Lessor an instrument confirming such assumption. The inclusion of this
subparagraph in this Lease is not intended as, and shall not be construed as,
the Landlord's consent to an assignment and/or assumption of this Lease.

      G. This Lease is a contract under which applicable law excuses Lessor from
accepting performance from (or rendering performance to) any person or entity
other than Lessee within the meaning of sections 365(c) and 365(e)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Sections 365(c), 365(e)(2).

      15. CONDEMNATION.

            If more than eighty percent (80%) of the Leased Premises are taken
for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or
regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu
thereof, and the taking prevents or materially interferes with the use of the
Leased Premises for the purpose for which they were leased to Lessee, this Lease
shall terminate and the Rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of
this Lease, effective on the date of such taking. If less than eighty percent
(80%) of the Leased Premises are taken for any public or quasi-public use under
any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or
by private purchase in lieu thereof, this Lease shall not terminate, but the
Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be
reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under all of the
circumstances. All compensation awarded in connection with or as a result of any
of the foregoing proceedings shall be the property of Lessor and Lessee hereby
assigns any interest in any such award to Lessor; provided, however, Lessor
shall have no interest in any award made to Lessee for loss of business or good
will or for the taking of Lessee's fixtures and improvements, if a separate
award for such items is made to Lessee.

      16. HOLDING OVER.

            At the termination of this Lease by its expiration or otherwise,
Lessee immediately shall deliver possession to Lessor with all repairs and
maintenance required herein to be performed by Lessee completed. If, for any
reason, Lessee retains possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration or
termination of this Lease, unless the parties hereto otherwise agree in writing,
such possession shall be subject to termination by either Lessor or Lessee at
any time upon not less than ten (10) days advance written notice, and all of the
other terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during such period,
except that Lessee shall pay Lessor from time to time, without demand, as rental
for the period of such possession, an amount equal to double the rent in effect
on the termination date, computed on a daily basis for each day of such period.
No holding over by Lessee, whether with or without consent of Lessor, shall
operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided. The
preceding provisions of this Paragraph 16 shall not be construed as consent for
Lessee to retain possession of the Leased Premises in the absence of written
consent thereto by Lessor.

      17. QUIET ENJOYMENT.

            Lessor covenants that on or before the Commencement Date it will
have good title to the Leased Premises, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, excepting only the lien for current taxes not yet due, such
mortgage or mortgages as are permitted by the terms of this Lease, zoning
ordinances and other building and fire ordinances and governmental regulations
relating to the use of such property, and easements, restrictions and other
conditions of record. If this Lease is a sublease, then Lessee agrees to take
the Leased Premises subject to the provisions of all prior Leases. Lessor
represents that it has the authority to enter into this Lease and that so long
as Lessee pays all amounts due hereunder and performs all other covenants and
agreements herein set forth, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy the Leased Premises for the term hereof without hindrance or molestation
from Lessor, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease.

      18. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

            The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by
Lessee under this Lease: (i) Lessee shall fail to pay any Rent or other sum of
money due hereunder and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5)
days after the date such sum is due; (ii) Lessee shall fail to comply with any
provision of this Lease other than those listed in this paragraph 18, or any
other agreement between Lessor and Lessee, all of which terms, provisions and
covenants shall be deemed material, and such failure shall continue for a period
of ten (10) days after written notice of such default is given to Lessee; (iii)
the Leased Premises shall be taken on execution or other process of law in any
action against Lessee; (iv) Lessee notifies Lessor, at any time prior to the
Commencement Date, that Lessee does not intend to take occupancy of the Leased
Premises upon the Commencement Date of the Lease term or Lessee shall fail to
promptly move into and take possession of the Leased Premises when the Leased
Premises are ready for occupancy or shall cease to continuously do business in,
vacate or abandon any portion of the Leased Premises; (v) Lessee shall become
insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they become due; (vi) Lessee takes any
action to, or notifies Lessor that Lessee intends to file, a petition under any
section or chapter of the national Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to
time, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any State
thereof; or a petition shall be filed against Lessee under any such statute; or
Lessee or any creditor of Lessee notifies Lessor that it knows such a petition
will be filed; or Lessee notifies Lessor that it expects such a petition to be
filed; (vii) a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for Lessee's leasehold
interest in the Leased Premises or for all or a substantial part of the assets
of Lessee; or (viii) Lessee shall fail to discharge any lien placed upon the
Leased Premises within twenty (20) days after such lien or encumbrance is filed.

      19. REMEDIES.

      A. Upon each occurrence of an event of default, Lessor shall have the
option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without notice or
demand:

            1.    Terminate this Lease, with or without re-entering the Leased
                  Premises; and/or

            2.    Enter upon and take possession of the Leased Premises, with or
                  without terminating this Lease: and/or

            3.    Alter all locks and other security devices at the Leased
                  Premises with or without terminating this Lease, and pursue,
                  at Lessor's option, one or more remedies pursuant to this
                  Lease, Lessee hereby specifically waiving any state or federal
                  law to the contrary;

and in any such event Lessee immediately shall surrender the Leased Premises to
Lessor, and if Lessee fails so to do, Lessor, without waiving any other remedy
it may have, may enter upon and take possession of the Leased Premises and expel
or remove Lessee and any other person who may be occupying the Leased Premises
or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of
damages therefore.

      B. If Lessor terminates this Lease, with or without re-entry of the Leased
Premises at Lessor's option, Lessee shall be liable for and shall pay to Lessor,
the sum of all rental and other payments owed to Lessor hereunder accrued to the
date of such termination, plus, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to (1)
the present value of the total Rent and other payments owed hereunder for the
remaining portion of the Lease term, calculated as if such term expired on the
date set forth in Paragraph 1, less (2) the then present fair market rental
value of the Leased Premises for such period, which because of the difficulty of
ascertaining such value, Lessor and Lessee stipulate and agree, shall in no
event be deemed to exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the Rent set forth in
Paragraph 2.

      C. If Lessor repossesses the Leased Premises, with or without terminating
the Lease, as an alternate measure of damages, at Lessor's option, Lessee shall
be liable for and shall pay Lessor on demand all rental and other payments owed
to Lessor hereunder, accrued to the date of such repossession, plus all amounts
required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor until the date of expiration of the term
as stated in Paragraph 1, diminished by all amounts received by Lessor through
reletting the Leased Premises during such remaining term (but only to the extent
of the base rent herein reserved). Actions to collect amounts due by Lessee to
Lessor under this subparagraph may be brought from time to time, on one or more
occasions, without the necessity of Lessor's waiting until expiration of the
Lease term.

<PAGE>   8



      D. Upon an event of default, in addition to any sum provided to be paid
herein, Lessee also shall be liable for and shall pay to Lessor (i) brokers'
fees incurred by Lessor in connection with reletting the whole or any part of
the Leased Premises; (ii) the costs of removing and storing Lessee's or other
occupant's property; (iii) the costs of repairing, altering, remodeling or
otherwise putting the Leased Premises into condition acceptable to a new lessee
or lessees; and (iv) all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing or
defending Lessor's rights and/or remedies. If either party hereto institutes any
action or proceeding to enforce any provision hereof by reason of any alleged
breach of any provision of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
receive from the losing party all reasonable attorneys' fees and all court costs
in connection with such proceeding.

      E. In the event Lessee fails to make any payment due hereunder when
payment is due, to help defray the additional cost to Lessor for processing such
late payments, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand a late charge in an amount
equal to five percent (5%) of such installment; and the failure to pay such
amount within ten (10) days after demand therefore shall be an additional event
of default hereunder. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to
all of Lessor's other rights and remedies hereunder o. r at law and shall not be
construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Lessor's remedies in any manner.
Lessor and Lessee agree that the late charge provided for in this subparagraph
is not interest.

      F. No act or omission of Lessor, or exercise by Lessor of any one or more
remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available, shall be deemed to be an
acceptance of surrender of the Leased Premises by Lessor, whether by agreement
or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender can be effected
only by the written agreement of Lessor and Lessee. Lessee and Lessor further
agree that forbearance by Lessor to enforce its rights pursuant to the Lease at
law or in equity shall not be a waiver of Lessor's right to enforce one or more
of its rights in connection with any subsequent default.

      G. This paragraph shall be enforceable to the maximum extent not
prohibited by applicable law, and the unenforceability of any portion thereof
shall not thereby render unenforceable any other portion. No re-entry or taking
of possession of the Leased Premises by Lessor shall be construed as an election
on Lessor's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such
termination is given to Lessee.

      H. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts
payable by Lessee to or on behalf of Lessor under this Lease, whether or not
expressly denominated as Rent, shall constitute Rent for the purposes of section
502(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, II U.S. C. Section 502(b)(7).

      I. Lessor shall be in default hereunder in the event Lessor has not begun
and pursued with reasonable diligence the cure of any failure of Lessor to meet
its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Lessor of
written notice from Lessee of the alleged failure to perform. Whether in this
Lease or elsewhere, in no event shall Lessee have the right to terminate or
rescind this Lease as a result of Lessor's default as to any covenant or
agreement contained in this Lease. Lessee hereby waives such remedies of
termination and rescission. If Lessor fails to perform any of its obligations
hereunder within thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessee specifying
such failure, Lessee's exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages. Unless
and until Lessor fails to so cure any default after such notice, Lessee shall
not have any remedy or cause of action by reason thereof. Lessee hereby
covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such remedy, it will give the
mortgagee(s) HOLDING MORTGAGES ON THE LEASED PREMISES OR THE building in which
the Leased Premises are located notice and a reasonable time to cure any default
by Lessor. All obligations of Lessor hereunder will be construed as covenants,
not conditions; and all such obligations will be binding upon Lessor only during
the period of its possession of the Leased Premises and not thereafter. The term
"Lessor" shall mean only the owner, for the time being of the Leased Premises,
and in the event of the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Leased
Premises, such owner shall thereupon be released -and discharged from all
covenants and obligations of the Lessor thereafter accruing, but such covenants
and obligations shall be binding during the Lease term upon each new owner for
the duration of such owner's ownership. Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, Lessor shall not have any personal liability hereunder. In the event of
any breach or default by Lessor in any term or provision of this Lease, Lessee
agrees to look solely to the equity or interest then owned by Lessor in the
Leased Premises or of the building of which the Leased Premises are a part;
however, in no event, shall any deficiency judgement or any money judgment of
any kind be sought or retained against any Lessor.

      J. If Lessor repossesses the Leased Premises pursuant to the authority
herein granted, then Lessor shall have the right to (i) keep in place and use or
(ii) remove and store all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Leased
Premises, including that which is owned by or leased to Lessee at all times
prior to any foreclosure thereon by Lessor or repossession thereof by any lessor
thereof or third party having a lien thereon. Lessor also shall have the right
to relinquish possession of all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures,
equipment and other property to any person ("Claimant") who presents to Lessor a
copy of any instrument represented by Claimant to have been executed by Lessee
(or any predecessor Lessee) granting Claimant the right under various
circumstances to take possession of such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other
property, without the necessity on the part of Lessor to inquire into the
authenticity or legality of said instrument. The rights of Lessor herein stated
shall be in addition to any and all other rights that Lessor has or may
hereafter have at law or in equity; and Lessee stipulates and agrees that the
rights herein granted Lessor are commercially reasonable.

      20. ATTORNEY'S FEES.

            In the event Lessor retains counsel in connection with, or files
suit to enforce the performance of or to obtain damages caused by a default
concerning any of the terms of this Lease by Lessee, Lessee shall be responsible
for and shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees.

      21. MORTGAGES.

            Lessee accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgages
and/or deeds of trust now or at any time hereafter constituting a lien or charge
upon the Leased Premises or the improvements situated thereon or the building of
which the Leased Premises are a part, provided, however, that if the mortgagee,
trustee, or holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust elects to have Lessee's
interest in this Lease superior to any such instrument, then by notice to Lessee
from such mortgagee, trustee or holder, this Lease shall be deemed superior to
such lien, whether this Lease was executed before or after said mortgage or deed
of trust. Lessee, at any time hereafter on demand, shall execute any
instruments, releases or other documents that may be required by any mortgagee
for the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to the lien of any
such mortgage.

      22. MECHANIC'S LIENS.

            Lessee has no authority, express or implied, to create or place any
lien or encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever upon, or in any manner to
bind the interest of Lessor in the Leased Premises or to charge the Rent payable
hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Lessee, including
those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or
repairs. Lessee covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all
sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or
materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the Leased Premises
and that it will save and hold Lessor harmless from any and all loss, cost or
expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the
leasehold estate or against the right, title and interest of the Lessor in the
Leased Premises or under the terms of this Lease. Lessee agrees to give Lessor
immediate written notice of the placing of any lien or encumbrance against the
Leased Premises.

      23. MISCELLANEOUS.

      A. Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to
include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to
include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. The captions inserted
in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or otherwise
describe the scope or intent of this Lease, or any provision hereof, or in any
way affect the interpretation of this Lease.

      B. In the event the Leased Premises constitute a portion of a multiple
occupancy building, Lessee's "Proportionate share", as used in this Lease, shall
mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the space contained in the Leased
Premises and the denominator of which is the entire space contained in the
building.

      C. The terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease
shall run with the land and shall apply to, inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, the parties hereto and upon their respective, heirs, executors,
personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and assigns, except
as otherwise herein expressly provided. Lessor shall have the right to transfer
and assign, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations in the Lease and in
the building and property that are the subject of this Lease. Each party agrees
to furnish to the other, promptly upon demand, a corporate resolution, proof of
due authorization by partners, or other appropriate documentation evidencing the
due authorization of such party to enter into this Lease.

      D. Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for the taking of any
action by Lessor, Lessor shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall
be excluded from the computation of such period of time, any delays due to
strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental
laws, regulations or restrictions, or any other cause whatsoever beyond the
control of Lessor.

      E. Lessee agrees, from time to time, within ten (10) days after request of
Lessor, to deliver to Lessor, or Lessor's designee, an estoppel certificate
stating that this Lease is in full force and effect, the date to which Rent has
been paid, the unexpired term of this Lease and such other factual matters
pertaining to this Lease as may be requested by Lessor.

      F. This Lease constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the
Lessor and Lessee with respect to the subject matter of this Lease, and contains
all of the covenants and agreements of Lessor and Lessee with respect thereto.
Lessor and Lessee each acknowledge that no representations, warranties,
inducements, promises or agreements, oral or written, have been made by Lessor
or Lessee, or anyone acting on behalf of Lessor or Lessee, which are not
contained herein, and any prior agreements, promises, negotiations,
representations or warranties not expressly set forth in this Lease are of no
force or effect. This Lease may not be altered, changed or amended except by an
instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto. The covenant contained in
this paragraph is a material inducement to Lessor to execute this Lease.

     G. All obligations of Lessee hereunder not fully performed as of the
expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof, including without
limitation, all payment obligations with respect to taxes and insurance and all
obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Leased Premises. Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof, and prior to Lessee
vacating the Leased Premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor any amount reasonably
estimated by Lessor as necessary to put the Leased Premises, including without
limitation, all heating and air conditioning systems and equipment therein, in
good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excluded. Lessee shall also,
prior to vacating the Leased Premises, pay to Lessor the amount, as estimated by
Lessor, of Lessee's obligation hereunder for real estate taxes and insurance
premiums for the year in which the Lease expires or terminates. All such amounts
shall be used and held by Lessor for payment of such obligations of Lessee
hereunder, with Lessee being liable for any additional costs therefore upon
demand by Lessor, or with any excess to be returned to Lessee after all such
obligations have been determined and satisfied as the case may be.

      H. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or
unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this
Lease, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that
the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and it is also the
intention of the parties to this Lease that in lieu of each clause or provision
of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added, as a
part of this Lease, a cause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal,
invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal,
valid and enforceable.

      I. This Lease and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall
be interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of Texas. This Lease is performable in Dallas County, Texas.

      J. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee or a mutual
cancellation thereof, shall not constitute a merger; and upon such surrender or
cancellation of this Lease, Lessor shall have the option, in Lessor's sole
discretion, to either (i) terminate all or any existing subleases or
subtenancies, or (ii) assume Lessee's interest in any or all subleases or
subtenancies.

      K. All references in this Lease to "the date thereof" or similar
references shall be deemed to refer to the last date, in point of time, on which
all parties hereto have executed this Lease.

      L. Lessee represents and warrants that it has dealt with no broker, agent
or other person in connection with this transaction or that no broker, agent or
other person brought about his transaction, other than James Dollar Company, or
other than as may be referred in a separate written agreement executed by
Lessee, and delivered to Lessor, and Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor

harmless from and against any claims by any other broker, agent or other person
claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt
with Lessee with regard to this leasing transaction.

      M. If and when included within the term "Lessor", as used in this
instrument, there is more than one person, firm or corporation, all shall
jointly arrange among themselves for their joint execution of a notice
specifying some individual at some specific address for the receipt of notices
and payments to Lessor. If and when included within the term "Lessee", as used
in this instrument, there is more than one person, firm or corporation, all
shall jointly arrange among themselves for their joint execution of a notice
specifying some individual at some specific address within the continental
United States for the receipt of notices and payments to Lessee. All parties
included within the terms "Lessor" and "Lessee", respectively shall be bound by
notices given in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 25 hereof to the
same effect as if each had received such notice.

      24. SECURITY SERVICE.

            Lessee agrees to pay its Proportionate Share of the cost of
monitoring, repair and maintenance of the burglar alarm systems, water flow
detection systems and other protective security equipment installed on the
Leased Premises and/or the building of which the Leased Premises are a part,
including the cost of any license or permit or user charge required for such
security systems. Lessor, at its option, may enter into an agreement with a
third party for the monitoring, maintenance and repair of any such system.
Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any damages, costs or expense which
occur for any reason in the event such security system is not properly
installed, monitored or maintained.

      25. NOTICES.

            Each provision of this instrument or of any applicable governmental
laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements regarding the sending,
mailing or delivering of notice or the making of any payment by Lessor to Lessee
or regarding the sending, mailing or delivering of any notice or the making of
any payment by Lessee to Lessor shall be deemed to be complied with when and if
the following steps are taken;

            a) All Rent and other payments or notices required to be made by
Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall be payable to Lessor at the address for Lessor
set forth below or at such other address as Lessor may specify from time to time
by written notice delivered in accordance herewith. Lessee's obligation to pay
Rent and any other amounts to Lessor under the terms of this Lease shall not be
deemed satisfied until such Rent and other amounts have been actually received
by Lessor.

            b) All payments required to be made by Lessor to Lessee hereunder
shall be payable to Lessee at the address set forth below, or at such other
address within the continental United States as Lessee may specify from time to
time by written notice delivered in accordance herewith.

            C) Any written notice or document required or permitted to be
delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be delivered whether actually received or
not when deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, Certified or
Registered Mail, addressed to the parties hereto at the respective addresses as
set out below, or at such other address as they have theretofore specified by
written notice delivered in accordance herewith.

      26. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

      A. Lessee shall not use, store, dispose, handle, transport, release,
discharge or generate any Hazardous Substances (as defined in subparagraph (f
below), in, on, to, under, from or about the Leased Premises or Building without
Lessor's prior written consent, which consent may be granted on conditions or
withheld in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion. Lessee warrants and agrees
that if Lessor's grants its consent to Lessee's use, storage, disposal,
handling, release, discharge, generation or transport shall be conducted in
strict accordance with all Environmental Laws (as defined in subparagraph (f)
below). Any consent or approval by Lessor of Lessee's use, storage, disposal,
transport, handling, discharge, release or generation of Hazardous Substances
shall not constitute an assumption of risk respecting the same nor a warranty or
certification by Lessor that Lessee's proposed use, storage, disposal, handling,
release, discharge, generation or transport of any such Hazardous Substances is
safe or reasonable or in compliance with Environmental Laws. Lessee shall
maintain current all permits required for its operations, including, without
limitation, those for the use, storage, handling, transport, discharge, release,
generation, and/or disposal of Hazardous Substances.

      B. Release or discharge of Hazardous Substances into the soil or into
ground water shall constitute a material default under this Lease. Lessee
acknowledges that a Lessee of nonresidential property who knows or has reason to
know that a material amount of a hazardous substance has been released on or
beneath its premises is to promptly notify the Lessor. Failure to provide such
notice to Lessor shall constitute a material default under this Lease. In the
event of such default, Lessor shall have the right to (i) terminate this Lease
and collect damages, inclusive of the cost of cleanup of any Hazardous
Substances released into the soil or groundwater; or (ii) require the cleanup of
contamination while still enforcing the remaining terms of this Lease.

      C. Lessee expressly agrees that Lessor shall have the right to enter the
Leased Premises to inspect the Leased Premises and/or to perform an
environmental investigation and assessment of the Leased Premises (the
"Environmental Assessment") upon reasonable notice to Lessee (not less than 72
hours), and that this right of entry shall include the right to test for soil
and groundwater contamination. If Lessor so reasonably requires, Lessee shall
comply, at its sole cost and expense, with all recommendations contained in any
Environmental Assessment, including, without limitation, any recommendation with
respect to the precautions that should be taken with respect to activities on
the Leased Premises or Building or any recommendations for additional testing
and studies to detect the presence of Hazardous Substances.

   
      D. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, (by counsel reasonably acceptable to
Lessor), protect and hold Lessor, and each of Lessor's officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, free and
harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, penalties,
forfeitures, losses or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees
and costs and court cost(s) or death of or injury to any person or damage to
any property whatsoever, arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly
or indirectly, by Lessee's use, storage, handling, transportation, disposal,
release, threatened release, discharge or generation of Hazardous Substances
to, in, on, under, about or from the Leased Premises or Building or Lessee's
failure to comply with any

Environmental Law. For purposes of the indemnity provisions hereof, any acts or
omissions of Lessee, or by employees, agents, assignees, contractors or
subcontractors of Lessee or others acting for or on behalf of Lessee (whether or
not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly
attributable to Lessee. This indemnification shall include without limitation
(a) personal injury claims, (b) the payment of liens, (c) diminution in the
value of the Leased Premises or Building or the property on which they are
located, (d) damages for the loss or restriction on use of the Leased Premises
or Building, (e) sums paid in settlement of claims, (f) reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs, consulting fees and costs and expert fees and costs, (g) the
cost of any investigation of site conditions, and (h) the cost of any repair,
clean-up, health or other environmental assessments, remedial, closure, removal,
or restoration work, decontamination or detoxification if required by any
governmental or quasi-governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or deemed
necessary in Lessor's reasonable judgment. The indemnification contained herein
shall survive the expiration of earlier termination of this Lease. This
indemnification is intended to constitute an indemnity agreement within the
meaning of Section 9607(e)(1) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 USC 9607(e)(1)).

      E. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall
remove from the Leased Premises any trade fixtures, furnishings and/or
equipment, including those associated with the use, storage, handling,
transport, discharge, release, generation or disposal of Hazardous Substances
and perform any closure work, investigation and environmental remedial work
required by an Environmental Laws or by any other applicable laws, ordinances,
regulations, or permits by any governmental authority having jurisdiction.
Removal and disposal of any and all such equipment or fixtures shall be
performed in strict accordance with all Environmental Laws and all other
applicable laws, regulations and government orders.

      F. As used in this Lease, the term "Hazardous Substances" shall mean
hazardous wastes, hazardous chemicals, flammable or explosive materials,
radioactive materials, toxic materials or related materials (whether potentially
injurious to persons or property and whether potentially injurious by themselves
or in combination with other materials), including, but not limited to, any
waste, chemical, substance or material now or hereafter determined by any
federal, state or local governmental agency of authority having jurisdiction to
be hazardous to human health or the environment or that is or becomes regulated
by such agency or authority (including, but not limited to, those materials
listed in the United States Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials
Table [49 CFR 172.101] as amended from time to time), that were released to the
environment, including, without limitation, the soil, groundwater and/or air, at
the Leased Premises or Building. As used in this Lease, the term "Environmental
Laws" shall mean any and all present and future federal, state and local laws
(whether under common law, statute, rule, regulation or otherwise), requirements
under permits issued with respect thereto, and other requirements of
governmental authorities relating to the environment or to any Hazardous
Substance (including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C 9601, et seq.), as
heretofore or hereafter amended from time to time.

      G. Lessee shall immediately advise Lessor in writing of, and provide
Lessor with a copy of: (i) any notices of violation or potential or alleged
violation of any Environmental Law that are received by Lessee from any
governmental agency; (ii) any and all inquiry, investigation, enforcement,
clean-up, removal or other governmental or regulatory actions instituted or
threatened relating to Lessee or the Leased Premises or Building; and (iii) all
claims made or threatened by any third-party against Lessee or the Leased
Premises or Building relating to any Hazardous Substances.

      H. With reference to Article 12 of this Lease, if the proposed assignee's
or sublessee's activities in, on or about the Leased Premises or Building
involve the use, handling, storage, transport, discharge, release, generation or
disposal of any Hazardous Substances other than those used by Lessee or in
quantities and processes different from Lessee's uses permitted hereunder, it
shall be reasonable for Lessor to withhold its consent to such assignment or
sublease in light of the risk of contamination posed by such activities unless
Lessee established beyond a reasonable doubt that such assignee's or sublessee's
activities pose no greater risk of contamination to the Leased Premises and
Building than Lessee's permitted activities and use of the Leased Premises and
Building in view of the (a) quantities, toxicity and other properties of the
Hazardous Substances to be used by such assignee or sublessee, (b) the
precautions against a release of Hazardous Substances such assignee or sublessee
agrees to implement, (c) such assignee's or sublessee's financial condition as
it relates to its ability to pay for the cost to clean up a major release of
Hazardous Substances, and (d) such assignee's or sublessee's policy and
historical record respecting its willingness to respond to and clean up a
release of Hazardous Substances.

      27. DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES.

            Lessee acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of
any permitted assigns and successors hereafter, that the Texas Deceptive Trade
Practices-Consumer Protection Act, Subchapter E of Chapter 17 of the Texas
Business and Commerce Code (the "DTPA"), is not applicable to this transaction.
Accordingly, Lessee's rights and remedies with respect to this Lease, and with
respect to all acts or practices of the Lessor, past, present or future, in
connection with this Lease, shall be governed by legal principles other than the
DTPA. In furtherance thereof, Lessee agrees as follows:

      a. Lessee represents that it is a "business consumer" as defined by the
DTPA. Lessee further represents that it has knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that enable it to evaluate the merits and risks
of the business transaction that is the subject of this Lease. Lessee also
represents that it is not in a significantly disparate bargaining position in
relation to Lessor. Lessee has negotiated the Lease with Lessor at arms length
and has willingly entered into the Lease. Lessee represents that Lessee has, or
is owned or controlled by, a corporation or entity which has assets of Five
Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or more according to its most recent
financial statement (prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles).

      b. Lessee represents that it has been represented by legal counsel in the
negotiation and execution of this Lease and that Lessee and its legal counsel
have negotiated the Lease at arms length, and that Lessee has willingly entered
into this Lease. Lessee shall cause its legal counsel to sign this Lease in the
space provided below for the purpose of complying with Section 17.41(a)(3) of
the DTPA.

      C. Lessee agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its permitted assigns
and successors, that all of Lessee's rights and remedies under the DTPA are
WAIVED AND RELEASED, including specifically, without limitation, all rights and
remedies resulting from or arising out of any and all acts or practices of
Lessor in connection with this Lease, whether such acts or practices occur
before or after the execution of this Lease provided, however, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in accordance

with Section 17.42 of the DTPA, Lessee does not waive Section 17.555 of the
DTPA.

      28. EXHIBITS.

                  The following numbered exhibits are attached hereto and
incorporated herein and made a part of this Lease for all purposes:

     Exhibit "A" - Legal Description
     Exhibit "B" - Special Provisions

     29. EFFECT OF DELIVERY OF THEIS LEASE.

                  Lessor has delivered a copy of this Lease to Lessee for
Lessee's review only, and the delivery hereof to Lessee does not constitute an
offer to Lessee or option. This Lease shall not be effective until a copy
executed by both Lessor and Lessee is delivered to and accepted by Lessor, and
if applicable, this Lease has been approved by Lessor's mortgagee(s).

      30. NO IMPLIED WAIVER.

                  The failure of Lessor to insist at any time upon the strict
performance of any covenant or agreement herein or to exercise any option,
right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall not be construed as a
waiver or a relinquishment thereof. The failure of Lessor to exercise any right,
power or remedy with respect to a default by Lessee as to any term, condition or
covenant of this Lease is not intended to be, and shall not operate as, a waiver
of any right, power or remedy with respect to that default or as to any other or
subsequent default of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. The exercise by
Lessor of any certain right, power or remedy with respect to a default by Lessee
as to any term, condition or covenant of this Lease is not intended to be, and
shall not operate as, a waiver of any other right, power or remedy of Lessor
contained in this Lease, with respect to that default or as to any other or
subsequent default by Lessee of its obligations pursuant to this Lease. No
payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the monthly
installment of Rent due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on
account of the earliest Rent due hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or
statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent
be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept such check or
payment without prejudice to Lessor's right to recover the balance of such Rent
or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.

      31. LESSOR'S LIEN.

           In addition to any statutory lien for rent in Lessor's favor, Lessor
shall have and Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a continuing security interest for
all Rent and other sums of money which have been or which will become due
hereunder from Lessee, upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture,
inventory, and other personal property of Lessee now or hereafter situated at
11545 Pagemill Road, Dallas (the "Collateral"). The Collateral shall not be
removed from the Leased Premises without the consent of Lessor. In the event any
of the Collateral is removed from the Leased Premises in violation of the
covenant in the preceding sentence, the security interest shall continue in the
Collateral and all proceeds and products of the Collateral, regardless of
location. Upon a default hereunder by Lessee, in addition to all other rights
and remedies, Lessor shall have all rights and remedies under the Uniform
Commercial Code, including without limitation, the right to sell the Collateral
described in this Paragraph at public or private sale upon five (5) days notice
by Lessor. Lessee hereby agrees to execute such other instruments necessary or
desirable under applicable law to perfect the security interest hereby created.
Lessor and Lessee agree that this Lease and security agreement serve as a
financing statement and that a copy, photographic or other reproduction of this
portion of this Lease may be filed or record by Lessor and have the same force
and effect as the original. This security agreement and financing statement also
covers fixtures located at the Leased Premises subject to this Lease and legally
described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference
and is to be filed for record in the real estate records. The record owner of
this property is DFW Nine. Lessor agrees to subordinate its lien herein from
time to time as required by Lessee's lenders providing business financing.

         2. Liabilities Not Assumed; Sales Tax.

                  (a) Purchaser will not assume or be liable for any liabilities
         or obligations of the Company or any Partner other than trade payables
         of the Company incurred by the Company in the ordinary course of
         business that are set forth on Exhibit B hereto, the note payable to

         on Exhibit B hereto (which had an outstanding balance thereon of
         $12,060 at November 30, 1996) (collectively, the "Assumed
         Liabilities"), and the Company and the Partners will, jointly and
         severally, indemnify Purchaser against and hold it harmless from all
         such liabilities and obligations other than the Assumed Liabilities.

                  (b) The liabilities and obligations of the Company that
         Purchaser will not assume include, but are not limited to, pension, and
         other employee benefit plan liabilities (including any accruals
         relating thereto), breaches or violations of agreements to which the
         Company or the Assets are subject, violations of law or applicable

         other environmental conditions occurring or existing prior to the
         Closing Date, any contingent liabilities (whether or not known), or any
         other liabilities or obligations of the Company or relating to the
         Assets other than Assumed Liabilities.

                  (c) The Company shall be liable for and shall pay any sales
         tax and other similar taxes resulting from consummation of the
         transactions contemplated hereby.

         3. Price for the Assets. The purchase price for the Assets (the
"Purchase Price") shall be payable by Purchaser to the Company as follows:

                  (a)      [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] shall be
         payable by Purchaser check or wire transfer at the Closing.

                  (b) If, and only if, the net profits before taxes, interest
         and corporate allocations for Purchaser's Stoughton sales office as
         reasonably determined by Purchaser ("Adjusted Net Profits") equal or
         exceed [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] for the one-year
         period ending one year after the Closing (the "First Earn-out Period"),
         Purchaser would pay the Company an additional amount equal to (i)
         [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] if Adjusted Net Profits for
         such period equal or exceed [Confidential Treatment Requested with
         SEC], or (ii) if Adjusted Net Profits for such period equal or exceed
         [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] but are less than
         [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC], the product of (A)
         [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] and (B) a fraction, the
         numerator of which is Adjusted Net Profits for such period and the
         denominator of which is [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC].

                  (c) If, and only if, the Adjusted Net Profits equal or exceed
         [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] for the one-year period
         ending two years after the Closing (the "Second Earn-out Period"),
         Purchaser would pay the Company an additional amount equal to (i)
         [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] if Adjusted Net Profits for
         such period


                                       -2-

<PAGE>   3



         equal or exceed [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC], or (ii) if
         Adjusted Net Profits for such period equal or exceed [Confidential
         Treatment Requested with SEC] but are less than [Confidential Treatment
         Requested with SEC], the product of (A) [Confidential Treatment
         Requested with SEC] and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is
         Adjusted Net Profits for such period and the denominator of which is
         [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC].


         4. Representations and Warranties. The Company and the Partners jointly
and severally represent and warrant to Purchaser that the following are true and
correct as of the date hereof and that the following will be true and correct as
of the Closing Date:

                  (a) The Partners are the sole partners of the Company.

                  (b) The Assets include all of the assets reflected in the
         December 31, 1996 balance sheet of the Company previously delivered by
         the Company to Purchaser (other than inventory sold in the ordinary
         course of business since that date on a basis consistent with prior
         practices). The inventory amounts on the December 31, 1996 balance
         sheet reflect the cost of such inventory. The Company holds good and
         indefeasible title to the Assets, free and clear of all liens, claims
         and encumbrances. At the Closing Purchaser will acquire good and
         indefeasible title to the Assets, free and clear of all liens, claims
         and encumbrances.

                  (c) The Company has furnished to Purchaser the balance sheet
         and related statements of income, retained earnings, changes in
         stockholders' equity, and cash flows of the Company including the notes
         thereto at and for the period ending December 31, 1996 (collectively,
         the "Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements fairly present
         the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of
         the dates and for the periods indicated and have been prepared in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
         applied on a consistent basis with prior practices. There were not any
         significant items of income or expense which were unusual or of a
         nonrecurring nature reflected in the Financial Statements.

                  (d) Except for those liabilities and obligations incurred in
         the ordinary course of business consistent with prior practices since
         the date of the Financial Statements, the Financial Statements reflect
         all liabilities and obligations of the Company, accrued, contingent or
         otherwise (known or unknown and asserted or unasserted), arising out of
         transactions effected or events occurring on or prior to the Closing
         Date. All allowances and reserves shown in the Financial Statements are
         appropriate, reasonable and sufficient to provide for expenses and
         losses thereby contemplated. The Company is not liable upon or with
         respect to, or obligated in any other way to provide funds in respect
         of or to guarantee or assume in any manner, any debt, obligation or
         dividend of any person, corporation, association, partnership, joint
         venture, trust or other entity. The Company and each of the Partners
         knows of no basis for the assertion of any other claims or liabilities
         of any nature or in any amount.

                  (e) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
         delivered by the Company and the Partners and is a valid and binding
         agreement of the Company and the Partners, enforceable against each
         such party in accordance with its terms.

                  (f) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor
         the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein violates any
         law, agreement, mortgage or other instrument or provision of law to
         which or under which the Company or the Partners are a party or bound.

                  (g) Except for the consents set forth on Schedule 4(g) hereto,
         no consents or approvals are required for execution of this Agreement
         by the Company and the Partners or their consummation of the
         transactions contemplated herein.

                  (h) There is no judicial, administrative or arbitral action,
         suit, proceeding (public or private), claim or demand pending or, to
         the knowledge of the Company and the Partners, threatened against the
         Company or its business.

                  (i) The Company and its business are, and have been, in
         compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, ordinances,
         licenses, permits and orders. The Company has maintained all employee
         benefit plans and arrangements in accordance with all applicable laws,
         rules and regulations including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
         amended, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
         amended, and have timely filed with all applicable regulatory
         authorities all applicable reports and returns required to be filed by
         them with respect to its employee benefit plans and arrangements.

                  (j) The Company has no liabilities for federal, state or local
         taxes, including but not limited to income, estimated, sales, use, ad
         valorem, personal property, franchise, payroll, employment, social
         security, unemployment, and disability taxes.

                  (k) The Company has not suffered any material adverse change
         in its business, operations, financial condition or prospects from that
         heretofore represented to Purchaser or its affiliates, officers or
         representatives.

                  (l) The distribution agreement between the Company and
         Motorola, Inc. ("Motorola Contract") and all other contracts being
         assigned by the Company to Purchaser pursuant hereto are in full force
         and effect. Neither party to any such contract is in default under any
         of such contracts, and no event has occurred that would, with the
         passage of time, cause a default under any of such contracts. The
         Company has paid the other party to each such contract all amounts it
         owes them whether or not such amounts are yet due. The Company has
         provided Purchaser with true, correct, and current copies of all such
         contracts. There are no other contracts that are material to the
         Company's business.

                  (m) Set forth in Schedule 4(m) hereto is a complete and
         accurate list of all employees of the Company, together with their
         dates of hire, positions and their annual salaries and other
         compensation. The Company has not granted or become obligated to grant
         any increases in the wages or salary of, or paid or become obligated to
         pay any bonus or made or become obligated to make any similar payment
         to or grant any benefit to or on behalf of, any officer, employee or
         agent. The Company has no direct or indirect, express or implied,
         obligation to pay severance or termination pay to any officer or
         employee of the Company or to pay any amounts to any consultant, agent
         or similar person or entity. The Company and the Partners have no
         knowledge of any facts which would indicate that any employee of the
         Company will not accept employment with Purchaser on a basis no less
         favorable than that upon which such employee is currently employed by
         the Company.

                  (n) All of the fixed assets (including but not limited to all
         equipment), owned or leased by the Company are in good condition and
         repair, fit for their intended use in the ordinary course


                                       -4-

<PAGE>   5



         of business, and conform in all respects with all applicable
         ordinances, regulations and other laws and there are no known latent
         defects therein. All regular maintenance or service requirements, and
         product recalls, have been followed, installed, or otherwise
         implemented on and with respect to the Assets. All inventory of the
         Company is in good, current, standard, and merchantable condition and
         is not obsolete or defective. The inventory of the Company is properly
         recorded on the Financial Statements at the lower of cost (last
         in-first out) or market in accordance with GAAP.

                  (o) The books of account of the Company have been kept
         accurately in the ordinary course of its business, the transactions
         entered therein represent bona fide transactions and the revenues,
         expenses, assets and liabilities of the Company have been properly
         recorded in such books. The records are in good order, are complete,
         and have been maintained in accordance with sound business practices.

                  (p) Set forth in Schedule 4(p) hereto is a complete and
         accurate list and description of all accounts receivable of the
         Company's business from sales made as of December 31, 1996, and the
         payments and rights to receive payments related thereto. All of the
         accounts receivable are free and clear of any security interests,
         liens, encumbrances, or other charges; none of such accounts receivable
         are subject to any offsets or claims of offsets; and none of the
         obligors of the accounts receivable have given notice that they will or
         may refuse to pay the full amount thereof or any portion thereof. All
         accounts receivable, net of an allowance for bad debts in the amount of
         $_________, will be collected in the usual and ordinary course of
         business within 90 days after the Closing assuming Purchaser undertakes
         reasonable efforts to collect these accounts.

                  (q) No distribution, payment, or dividend of any kind has been
         declared or paid by the Company to its Partners at any time since
         November 30, 1996 and, except for amounts agreed to in writing by
         Purchaser, none will be declared or paid after the date hereof until
         the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties
         hereto agree that such additional distributions would only be agreed to
         by Purchaser to the extent required to cover the Partners' 1996 income
         tax liability relating to the profits of the Company and only if, and
         to the extent, the net worth of the Company (determined in accordance
         with generally accepted accounting principles) as of the Closing and
         after such distributions would equal or exceed $116,806.

                  (r) No Partner, director, or officer of the Company, nor any
         person who is a spouse or descendant of such Partner, director or
         officer, has any direct or indirect relationship with any customer or
         supplier of, or other contracting party with, the Company.

                  (s) Neither the Company nor any Partner knows or has any
         reason to believe, or has received notice or information, that any
         supplier of the Company will cease or refuse to do business with
         Purchaser after the consummation of the transactions contemplated
         hereby in the same manner, and same amount, as previously conducted
         with the Company. Neither the Company nor any Partner has received any
         notice of any disruption (including delayed deliveries or allocations
         by suppliers or service providers) in the availability of the products
         used by the Company, nor is the Company or any Partner aware of any
         facts which could lead the Company to believe that the Company or
         Purchaser will be subject to any such material disruption. Neither the
         Company nor any Partner is aware of any condition (financial or
         otherwise) affecting any supplier that will, or could be reasonably
         expected to, now or in the future, reduce each such


                                       -5-

<PAGE>   6



         supplier's ability to do business with Purchaser in substantially the
         same manner and amount that each such supplier has done business with
         the Company during the period preceding this Agreement. Set forth in
         Schedule 4(s) is a complete and accurate list and description of all
         volume discounts and other discounts provided by any supplier of the
         Company.

                  (t) All information furnished to Purchaser by the Company or
         the Partners, whether or not herein or in any Exhibit or Schedule
         hereto, is true, correct, and complete. Such information states all
         material facts required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which such
         statements are made, true, correct and complete in all material
         respects. The Company and the Partners have made due inquiry and
         investigation concerning the matters to which representations and
         warranties of the Company and the Partners under this Agreement pertain
         and the Company and the Partners, and each of them, are unaware of any
         facts, events or circumstances which have not been disclosed to
         Purchaser which are material to the Assets, the business of the
         Company, or the Company.

The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Partners
set forth in this Agreement shall survive execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Closing.

         5. Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the
"Closing") will take place concurrently with the execution of this Agreement at
the offices of the Company (or such other place as may be mutually agreed upon
by the parties hereto). The day on which the Closing occurs is herein referred
to as the "Closing Date."

         6. Deliveries at Closing.    At the Closing,

                  (a) the Company shall execute and deliver to Purchaser a bill
         of sale in the form reasonably requested by Purchaser and shall deliver
         a list of the fixed assets, inventory and rental two-way radios owned
         by the Company as of the Closing;

                  (b) the Company shall endorse and deliver to Purchaser
         certificates of title relating to all vehicles owned by the Company;

                  (c) Purchaser shall deliver [Confidential Treatment Requested
         with SEC] to the Company by Purchaser check or wire transfer;

                  (d) counsel to the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a legal
         opinion dated the Closing Date in form reasonably acceptable to
         Purchaser opining to the matters set forth in Exhibit C hereto;

                  (e) the Company's accounting firm shall deliver a letter dated
         the Closing Date and addressed to Purchaser stating that to its
         knowledge that there are no pending audits or investigations involving
         the Company and that it has no reason to believe that the Financial
         Statements do not fairly present the financial condition of the Company
         at and for the periods set forth therein;



                                       -6-

<PAGE>   7



                  (f) the Company shall deliver evidence of receipt of all
         required approvals, consents, licenses and permits to the transactions
         contemplated herein in a form acceptable to the Purchaser in its sole
         discretion; and

                  (g) the Company shall execute and deliver such other documents
         as are reasonably requested by Purchaser to effectuate the purposes and
         intent of this Agreement.

         7. Purchase Price Allocation. The parties hereto hereby agree that, for
all accounting and foreign, federal, state and local tax reporting purposes, the
Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with the relative fair market
values of the Assets and the non-competition covenant set forth in Section 9
hereof, as determined by Purchaser, as soon as practicable after the Closing
Date. Purchaser shall provide to the Company a schedule setting forth such
allocation as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and shall thereafter
notify the Company of any changes thereto. Each of the parties hereto hereby
covenants and agrees that it will not take a position on any tax return, before
any governmental agency charged with the collection of any tax, or in any
judicial proceeding that is in any way inconsistent with the terms of this
Section 7.

         8. Confidentiality. The Company and the Partners agree to hold in
confidence the terms of this Agreement and, except as required by law, will not
make the same available or known to any third party other than their counsel,
accountants and other agents or representatives acting on their behalf, and then
only to the extent necessary, provided each such person is advised of the
confidential nature of the terms hereof and agrees to hold the same in
confidence.

         9. Noncompetition and Non-solicitation.

                  (a) For a period of two years after the end of the Second
         Earn-out Period, and except for services performed on behalf of
         Purchaser, the Company and the Partners agree that neither they nor any
         of their affiliates will directly or indirectly either as an
         individual, a partner or a joint venturer, or in any other capacity,
         (i) invest (other than investments in publicly-owned companies which
         constitute not more than 1% of the voting securities of any such
         company), or engage in, within the State of Massachusetts or Rhode
         Island (x) the business of selling, renting, or servicing any wireless
         communication products or (y) any other wireless business that is
         competitive with that of Purchaser or its affiliates (the items listed
         under clauses (x) and (y) hereto are collectively referred to herein as
         "Competitive Businesses"), or (ii) accept employment with or render
         services to Competitive Businesses that engages in such Competitive
         Business within the State of Massachusetts or Rhode Island as a
         director, officer, agent, employee, consultant, or any other capacity.
         For purposes of this Agreement, a "business that is competitive with
         that of Purchaser or its affiliates" specifically includes persons,
         firms, sole proprietorships, partnerships, companies, corporations or
         other entities that market products and/or perform services in direct
         or indirect competition with those marketed and/or performed by
         Purchaser or its affiliates within the State of Massachusetts or Rhode
         Island. The parties agree that, if such non-competition agreement is
         determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable,
         such agreement should be reformed by the court to the extent necessary
         to be enforceable and to give effect to the intent of this Section 9.

                  (b) After the Closing, neither the Company nor the Partners
         will, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit for employment by the Company
         or anyone else, any employee of Purchaser


                                       -7-

<PAGE>   8



         or its affiliates as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby
         or any person who was an employee of the Company or Purchaser or its
         affiliates within the four-month period immediately preceding such
         solicitation or employment, other than such person whose employment was
         terminated by Purchaser or its affiliates; or (ii) induce or attempt to
         induce, any such employee of Purchaser or its affiliates to terminate
         such employee's employment.

                  (c) The parties hereto acknowledge that the provisions of this
         Section 9 are supported by good and valuable consideration and
         Purchaser's agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated
         hereby are conditioned upon its receipt of the protection provided in
         this Section 9. The parties hereto further acknowledge that the scope
         and duration of the covenants set forth in this Section 9 are in all
         respects reasonable.

                  (d) The Company and the Partners acknowledge and agree that
         the breach by either of them of the provisions of this Section 9 could
         not be adequately compensated with monetary damages and would
         irreparably injure Purchaser, and, accordingly, that injunctive relief
         and specific performance shall be appropriate remedies to enforce the
         provisions of this Section against the Company and the Partners, and
         the Company and the Partners waive any claim or defense that there is
         an adequate remedy at law for such breach; provided, however, that
         nothing contained herein shall limit the remedies, legal or equitable,
         otherwise available to Purchaser, and all remedies of Purchaser herein
         are in addition to any remedies available to Purchaser at law or
         otherwise.

                  (e) The Partners acknowledge and recognize that the
         enforcement of any of the noncompetition provisions in this Agreement
         by Purchaser will not interfere with the Partners' ability to pursue a
         proper livelihood. The Partners further represent that they are capable
         of pursuing a career that would not violate the noncompetition
         provisions hereof to earn a proper livelihood. The Partners and the
         Company agree that due to the nature of such business, the
         noncompetition restrictions set forth in this Agreement are reasonable
         as to time and geographic area. At any time during the non-compete
         period, Purchaser may require the Partners and the Company to supply
         such information as Purchaser deems necessary to ascertain whether or
         not the Partners have complied with, or have violated, the covenants
         set forth in this Section 9. Any such request for information will be
         sent to the Partners and/or the Company by certified mail, return
         receipt requested, addressed to such person's last known address. The
         Partners and/or the Company shall furnish the requested information to
         Purchaser within 10 days following the receipt of such request.

         10. Post-Closing Covenants. Purchaser shall have no obligation to
repair or replace any products sold by the Company.

         11. Expenses. Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company and the
Partners, on the other hand, will bear their own costs and expenses of the
transactions contemplated hereby (i.e., the Company will not pay any of such
costs or expenses prior to Closing and the Purchaser will not assume any
liability to pay any such costs and expenses of the Company or the Partners).

         12. Further Assurances. At the Closing and after the Closing, each
party hereto shall take all actions and duly execute and deliver or cause to be
executed and delivered all instruments of sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment
or assumption, and all notices, releases, acquittances and other documents that
may be necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated in
this Agreement, or more fully to sell, convey, transfer, assign, and deliver to
and vest in Purchaser the Assets sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned, and
delivered by the Company pursuant hereto or intended so to be.

         13. Indemnification. The Company and the Partners shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify and hold Purchaser and its affiliates and the officers,
directors, partners, stockholders, employees and agents of Purchaser and its
affiliates harmless from and against any loss, damage, claim, demand, cause of
action, liability, costs or expense (including without limitation interest,
penalties, and attorneys' fees and disbursements) of any kind or nature
whatsoever asserted against or incurred by Purchaser or the Assets by reason of,
resulting from, or based upon: (a) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or
breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or other agreement made by them herein
or in any other agreement executed and delivered by them pursuant to this
Agreement, (b) the ownership, management, operation or use of the Assets and
business of the Company prior to the Closing; (c) liabilities or obligations
with respect to the Assets or the business of the Company or the operation

Liabilities) including, but not limited to, claims relating to taxes due for
periods prior to the Closing; (d) occurrences of any nature prior to the Closing
relating to the Company's business or the Assets, whether such claims are
asserted prior to or after the Closing; and (e) any obligation or liability
relating to any employee benefit plan of the Company or relating to any employee
of the Company who is not hired by Purchaser. Any claim for indemnification
pursuant to this Section 13 must be asserted on or before five years after the
Closing Date.

NO INVESTIGATION BY OR ON BEHALF OF, AND NO NEGLIGENCE OF, PURCHASER OR ITS
AFFILIATES, NOR ANY INFORMATION THAT THEY MAY HAVE OR OBTAIN WILL AFFECT THE
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY AND THE PARTNERS HEREUNDER.

         14. Guarantee. Partners hereby jointly and severally unconditionally
guarantee to Purchaser and its affiliates the full and timely performance of all
of the obligations and agreements of the Company. The foregoing guarantee shall
include the guarantee of the payment of all damages, costs and expenses which
might become recoverable as a result of the breach or nonperformance by the
Company of any provision contained herein. The Purchaser and its affiliates may
proceed against any or all of the Partners for the performance of any such
obligation or agreement, or for damages for default in the performance thereof,
without first proceeding against the Company, the other Partners or against any
of their properties.

         15. Entire Agreement: Counterparts. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings,
both oral and written, of the parties in connection therewith. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts.

         16. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this
Agreement is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
unenforceable in any respect, the remainder of such term, provision, covenant or
condition in every other respect and the remainder of this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated.

         The purpose of this letter agreement (this "Agreement") is to set
forth the terms and conditions agreed to by and among BearCom Operating, L.P.,
a Texas limited partnership ("Purchaser"), Mobitel Communications and
Electronics, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Mobitel"), Network Communications,
Inc., a Texas corporation ("Network" and collectively with Mobitel, "Sellers"),
Royce A. Witte, one of the two shareholders of Mobitel and the sole shareholder
of Network ("Witte"), and James D. Reed, one of the two shareholders of Mobitel
("Reed") (Witte and Reed are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the
"Shareholders"), for Purchaser's purchase of certain assets of the Sellers.
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         1.      Sale of Assets.  At the Closing (hereinafter defined),
Purchaser will purchase and (a) Mobitel will sell, convey and assign to
Purchaser, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, all of the
business, assets, property and goodwill of Mobitel of every kind and character,
whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, (other than cash and accounts
receivable of Mobitel ("Receivables")) including (without limitation) all of
the fixed assets, inventory, two-way radios, intangible assets, customer data
and related information, permits, insurance proceeds (if any), computers, the

         (including any accruals relating thereto), breaches or violations of
         agreements to which the Sellers or the Assets are subject, violations
         of law or applicable statutory regulations, property damage, personal

         occurring or existing prior to the Closing Date, any contingent
         liabilities (whether or not known), any other liabilities or
         obligations that relate to the period, or conditions existing, before
         the Closing.

                 (c)      The Sellers shall be liable for and shall pay any
         sales tax and other similar taxes resulting from consummation of the
         transactions contemplated hereby.

         3.      Price for the Assets.     The purchase price for the Assets
(the "Purchase Price") shall be payable by Purchaser to the Sellers as follows:

                 (a)      [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] shall be 
         payable to Sellers by Purchaser check or wire transfer at the Closing.

                 (b)      [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] shall be 
         payable to Sellers by Purchaser check or wire transfer on the date that
         is six months after the Closing Date.

                 (c)      [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] shall be 
         payable to Sellers by Purchaser check or wire transfer on the first 
         anniversary of the Closing Date.

The cash that would be payable to Sellers pursuant to subsections (a), (b) and
(c) of this Section 2 shall be allocated between Mobitel and Network as set

         4.      Representations and Warranties.  The Sellers and the
Shareholders jointly and severally represent and warrant to Purchaser that the
following are true and correct as of the date hereof and that the following
will be true and correct as of the Closing Date:

                 (a)      The Shareholders are the sole shareholders of
         Mobitel, and Witte is the sole shareholder of Network.

                 (b)      The Assets include all of the assets reflected in the
         December 31, 1996 balance sheets of the Sellers previously delivered
         by the Sellers to Purchaser (other than inventory sold in the ordinary
         course of business since that date on a basis consistent with prior
         practices).  The inventory amounts on the December 31, 1996 balance
         sheets reflect the cost of such inventory.  The Sellers holds good and
         indefeasible title to the Assets, free and clear of all liens, claims
         and encumbrances.  At the





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3
         Closing Purchaser will acquire good and indefeasible title to the
         Assets, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances.

                 (c)      The Sellers have furnished to Purchaser the balance
         sheet and related statements of income, retained earnings, changes in
         stockholders' equity, and cash flows of the Sellers including the
         notes thereto at and for the period ending December 31, 1996
         (collectively, the "Financial Statements").  The Financial Statements
         fairly present the financial condition and results of operations of
         the Sellers as of the dates and for the periods indicated and have
         been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
         principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis with prior
         practices.  There were not any significant items of income or expense
         which were unusual or of a nonrecurring nature reflected in the
         Financial Statements.

                 (d)      Except for those liabilities and obligations incurred
         in the ordinary course of business consistent with prior practices
         since the date of the Financial Statements, the Financial Statements
         reflect all liabilities and obligations of the Sellers, accrued,
         contingent or otherwise (known or unknown and asserted or unasserted),
         arising out of transactions effected or events occurring on or prior
         to the Closing Date.  All allowances and reserves shown in the
         Financial Statements are appropriate, reasonable and sufficient to
         provide for expenses and losses thereby contemplated.  Neither of the
         Sellers is liable upon or with respect to, or obligated in any other
         way to provide funds in respect of or to guarantee or assume in any
         manner, any debt, obligation or dividend of any person, corporation,
         association, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity.  The
         Sellers and each of the Shareholders knows of no basis for the
         assertion of any other claims or liabilities of any nature or in any
         amount.

                 (e)      This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
         delivered by the Sellers and the Shareholders and is a valid and
         binding agreement of the Sellers and the Shareholders, enforceable
         against each such party in accordance with its terms.

                 (f)      Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement
         nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein violates
         any law, agreement, mortgage or other instrument or provision of law
         to which or under which the Sellers or the Shareholders are a party or
         bound.

                 (g)      Except for the consents set forth on Schedule 4(g)
         hereto, no consents or approvals are required for execution of this
         Agreement by the Sellers and the Shareholders or their consummation of
         the transactions contemplated herein.

                 (h)      There is no judicial, administrative or arbitral
         action, suit, proceeding (public or private), claim or demand pending
         or, to the knowledge of the Sellers and the Shareholders, threatened
         against the Sellers or their businesses.

                 (i)      The Sellers and their businesses are, and have been,
         in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations,
         ordinances, licenses, permits and orders.  The Sellers have maintained
         all employee benefit plans and arrangements in accordance with all
         applicable laws, rules and regulations including the Internal Revenue
         Code of 1986, as amended, and the Employee Retirement Income Security
         Act of 1974, as amended, and have timely filed with all applicable
         regulatory authorities all applicable reports and returns required to
         be filed by them with respect to its employee benefit plans and
         arrangements.

<PAGE>   4
                 (j)      The Sellers have no liabilities for federal, state or
         local taxes, including but not limited to income, estimated, sales,
         use, ad valorem, personal property, franchise, payroll, employment,
         social security, unemployment, and disability taxes.

                 (k)      The Sellers have not suffered any adverse change in
         its business, operations, financial condition or prospects from that
         heretofore represented to Purchaser or its affiliates, officers or
         representatives.

                 (l)      The distribution agreements between the Sellers and
         Motorola, Inc. ("Motorola Contract") and all other contracts, if any,
         being assigned by the Sellers to Purchaser pursuant hereto are in full
         force and effect.  Neither party to any such contract is in default
         under any of such contracts, and no event has occurred that would,
         with the passage of time, cause a default under any of such contracts.
         The Sellers have paid the other party to each such contract all
         amounts it owes them whether or not such amounts are yet due.  The
         Sellers have provided Purchaser with true, correct, and current copies
         of all such contracts.  There are no other contracts that are material
         to the Sellers' businesses.

                 (m)      Set forth in Schedule 4(m) hereto is a complete and
         accurate list of all employees of the Sellers, together with their
         dates of hire, positions and their annual salaries and other
         compensation.  The Sellers have not granted or become obligated to
         grant any increases in the wages or salary of, or paid or become
         obligated to pay any bonus or made or become obligated to make any
         similar payment to or grant any benefit to or on behalf of, any
         officer, employee or agent.  The Sellers have no direct or indirect,
         express or implied, obligation to pay severance or termination pay to
         any officer or employee of either of the Sellers or to pay any amounts
         to any consultant, agent or similar person or entity.  The Sellers and
         the Shareholders have no knowledge of any facts which would indicate
         that any employee of the Sellers will not accept employment with
         Purchaser on a basis no less favorable than that upon which such
         employee is currently employed by the Sellers.

                 (n)      All of the fixed assets (including but not limited to
         all equipment), owned or leased by the Sellers are in good condition
         and repair, fit for their intended use in the ordinary course of
         business, and conform in all respects with all applicable ordinances,
         regulations and other laws and there are no known latent defects
         therein.  All regular maintenance or service requirements, and product
         recalls, have been followed, installed, or otherwise implemented on
         and with respect to the Assets.  All inventory of the Sellers is in
         good, current, standard, and merchantable condition and is not
         obsolete or defective.  The inventory of the Sellers is properly
         recorded on the Financial Statements at the lower of cost (last
         in-first out) or market in accordance with GAAP.

                 (o)      The books of account of the Sellers have been kept
         accurately in the ordinary course of its business, the transactions
         entered therein represent bona fide transactions and the revenues,
         expenses, assets and liabilities of the Sellers have been properly
         recorded in such books.  The records are in good order, are complete,
         and have been maintained in accordance with sound business practices.

                 (p)      Since December 31, 1996, neither of the Sellers has
         (i) declared, paid or set aside for payment any dividend or
         distribution to its shareholder or shareholders, (ii) made any loan or
         advance to any shareholder, officer, director or employee, (iii)
         redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired or sold or issued any of its
         capital stock or any right to acquire such capital stock, or (iv)
         increased the





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5
         compensation of or paid or accrued any bonus to any employee other
         than in accordance with past established practices, and none of such
         actions will be taken after the date hereof until the consummation of
         the transactions contemplated hereby.

                 (q)      No shareholder, director, or officer of either of the
         Sellers, nor any person who is a spouse or descendant of such
         shareholder, director or officer, has any direct or indirect
         relationship with any customer or supplier of, or other contracting
         party with, either of the Sellers.

                 (r)      Neither the Sellers nor any Shareholder knows or has
         any reason to believe, or has received notice or information, that any
         supplier of the Sellers will cease or refuse to do business with
         Purchaser after the consummation of the transactions contemplated
         hereby in the same manner, and same amount, as previously conducted
         with the Sellers.  Neither the Sellers nor any Shareholder has
         received any notice of any disruption (including delayed deliveries or
         allocations by suppliers or service providers) in the availability of
         the products used by the Sellers, nor are the Sellers or any
         Shareholder aware of any facts which could lead the Sellers to believe
         that the Sellers or Purchaser will be subject to any such material
         disruption.  Neither the Sellers nor any Shareholder is aware of any
         condition (financial or otherwise) affecting any supplier that will,
         or could be reasonably expected to, now or in the future, reduce each
         such supplier's ability to do business with Purchaser in substantially
         the same manner and amount that each such supplier has done business
         with the Sellers during the period preceding this Agreement.  Set
         forth in Schedule 4(r) is a complete and accurate list and description
         of all volume discounts and other discounts provided by any supplier
         of the Sellers.

                 (s)      All information furnished to Purchaser by the Sellers
         or the Shareholders, whether or not herein or in any Exhibit or
         Schedule hereto, is true, correct, and complete.  Such information
         states all material facts required to be stated therein or necessary
         to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
         which such statements are made, true, correct and complete in all
         material respects.  The Sellers and the Shareholders have made due
         inquiry and investigation concerning the matters to which
         representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Shareholders
         under this Agreement pertain and the Sellers and the Shareholders, and
         each of them, are unaware of any facts, events or circumstances which
         have not been disclosed to Purchaser which are material to the Assets,
         the businesses of the Sellers, or the Sellers.

The representations, warranties and covenants of the Sellers and the
Shareholders set forth in this Agreement shall survive execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the Closing.

         5.      Closing.  The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby
(the "Closing") will take place concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement at the offices of Mobitel (or such other place as may be mutually
agreed upon by the parties hereto).  The day on which the Closing occurs is
herein referred to as the "Closing Date."

         6.      Deliveries at Closing.    At the Closing,

                 (a)      the Sellers shall execute and deliver to Purchaser
         bills of sale in the form reasonably requested by Purchaser and shall
         deliver a list of the fixed assets, inventory and rental two-way
         radios owned by the Sellers as of the Closing;

<PAGE>   6
                 (b)      Purchaser shall deliver [Confidential Treatment
         Requested with SEC] to the Sellers (as so designated on Exhibit B 
         hereto) by Purchaser check or wire transfer;

                 (c)      counsel to the Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a
         legal opinion dated the Closing Date in form reasonably acceptable to
         Purchaser opining to the matters set forth in Exhibit C hereto;

                 (d)      the Sellers shall deliver evidence of receipt of all
         required approvals, consents, licenses and permits, including without
         limitation the consent of Motorola Inc. to the transactions
         contemplated herein in a form acceptable to the Purchaser in its sole
         discretion; and

                 (e)      the Sellers shall execute and deliver such other
         documents as are reasonably requested by Purchaser to effectuate the
         purposes and intent of this Agreement.

         7.      Purchase Price Allocation.  The parties hereto hereby agree
that, for all accounting and foreign, federal, state and local tax reporting
purposes, the Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with the relative
fair market values of the Assets and the non-competition covenant set forth in
Section 9 hereof, as determined by Purchaser, as soon as practicable after the
Closing Date.  Purchaser shall provide to the Sellers a schedule setting forth
such allocation as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and shall
thereafter notify the Sellers of any changes thereto.  Each of the parties
hereto hereby covenants and agrees that it will not take a position on any tax
return, before any governmental agency charged with the collection of any tax,
or in any judicial proceeding that is in any way inconsistent with the terms of
this Section 7.

         8.      Confidentiality.  The Sellers and the Shareholders agree to
hold in confidence the terms of this Agreement and, except as required by law,
will not make the same available or known to any third party other than their
counsel, accountants and other agents or representatives acting on their
behalf, and then only to the extent necessary, provided each such person is
advised of the confidential nature of the terms hereof and agrees to hold the
same in confidence.

         9.      Noncompetition and Non-solicitation.

                 (a)      For a period of three years after the Closing, and
         except for services performed on behalf of Purchaser, the Sellers and
         the Shareholders agree that neither they nor any of their affiliates
         will directly or indirectly either as an individual, a partner or a
         joint venturer, or in any other capacity, (i) invest (other than
         investments in publicly-owned companies which constitute not more than
         1% of the voting securities of any such company), or engage in, within
         100 miles of Houston, Texas (x) the business of selling, renting, or
         servicing any wireless communication products or (y) any other
         business that is competitive with that of Purchaser or its affiliates
         (the items listed under clauses (x) and (y) hereto are collectively
         referred to herein as "Competitive Businesses"), or (ii) accept
         employment with or render services to Competitive Businesses that
         engages in such Competitive Business within 100 miles of Houston,
         Texas as a director, officer, agent, employee, consultant, or any
         other capacity.  For purposes of this Agreement, a "business that is
         competitive with that of Purchaser or its affiliates" specifically
         includes persons, firms, sole proprietorships, partnerships,
         companies, corporations or other entities that market products and/or
         perform services in direct or indirect competition with those marketed
         and/or performed by Purchaser or its affiliates within 100 miles of
         Houston, Texas.  The parties agree that, if such non-competition
         agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
         unenforceable, such agreement should be reformed by the court to the





                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7
         extent necessary to be enforceable and to give effect to the intent of
         this Section 9.  SEE ADDENDUM.

                 (b)      For a period of three years after the Closing,
         neither the Sellers nor the Shareholders will, directly or indirectly,
         (i) except on behalf of Purchaser, solicit for any purpose, any
         customer of Purchaser (or former customer of Sellers), (ii) solicit
         for employment by the Sellers or anyone else, any employee of
         Purchaser or its affiliates as a result of the transactions
         contemplated hereby or any person who was an employee of the Sellers
         or Purchaser or its affiliates within the four-month period
         immediately preceding such solicitation or employment, other than such
         person whose employment was terminated by Purchaser or its affiliates;
         or (iii) induce or attempt to induce, any such employee of Purchaser
         or its affiliates to terminate such employee's employment.

                 (c)      The parties hereto acknowledge that the provisions of
         this Section 9 are supported by good and valuable consideration and
         Purchaser's agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated
         hereby are conditioned upon its receipt of the protection provided in
         this Section 9.  The parties hereto further acknowledge that the scope
         and duration of the covenants set forth in this Section 9 are in all
         respects reasonable.

                 (d)      The Sellers and the Shareholders acknowledge and
         agree that the breach by either of them of the provisions of this
         Section 9 could not be adequately compensated with monetary damages
         and would irreparably injure Purchaser, and, accordingly, that
         injunctive relief and specific performance shall be appropriate
         remedies to enforce the provisions of this Section against the Sellers
         and the Shareholders, and the Sellers and the Shareholders waive any
         claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such
         breach; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall limit
         the remedies, legal or equitable, otherwise available to Purchaser,
         and all remedies of Purchaser herein are in addition to any remedies
         available to Purchaser at law or otherwise.

                 (e)      The Shareholders acknowledge and recognize that the
         enforcement of any of the noncompetition provisions in this Agreement
         by Purchaser will not interfere with the Shareholders' ability to
         pursue a proper livelihood.  The Shareholders further represent that
         they are capable of pursuing a career that would not violate the
         noncompetition provisions hereof to earn a proper livelihood.  The
         Shareholders and the Sellers agree that due to the nature of such
         business, the noncompetition restrictions set forth in this Agreement
         are reasonable as to time and geographic area.  At any time during the
         non-compete period, Purchaser may require the Shareholders and the
         Sellers to supply such information as Purchaser deems necessary to
         ascertain whether or not the Shareholders and the Sellers have
         complied with, or have violated, the covenants set forth in this
         Section 9.  Any such request for information will be sent to the
         Shareholders and/or the Sellers by certified mail, return receipt
         requested, addressed to such person's last known address.  The
         Shareholders and/or the Sellers shall furnish the requested
         information to Purchaser within 10 days following the receipt of such
         request.

         10.     Employment Arrangement.  Purchaser would employ Reed beginning
immediately after the Closing.  That employment relationship would be at-will
and in accordance with Purchaser's employment policies and procedures.

         11.     Repairs.  Purchaser shall have no obligation to repair or
replace any products sold by the Sellers.  Nonetheless, if Purchaser, in its
sole discretion, chooses to repair or replace any product sold by the





                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8
Sellers, the Sellers shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for all amounts
expended by Purchaser in connection therewith.

         12.     Expenses.  Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers and the
Shareholders, on the other hand, will bear their own costs and expenses of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

         13.     Further Assurances.  At the Closing and after the Closing,
each party hereto shall take all actions and duly execute and deliver or cause
to be executed and delivered all instruments of sale, conveyance, transfer,
assignment or assumption, and all notices, releases, acquittances and other
documents that may be necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement, or more fully to sell, convey, transfer,
assign, and deliver to and vest in Purchaser the Assets sold, conveyed,
transferred, assigned, and delivered by the Sellers pursuant hereto or intended
so to be.

         14.     Indemnification.  The Sellers and the Shareholders shall,
jointly and severally, indemnify and hold Purchaser and its affiliates and the
officers, directors, partners, stockholders, employees and agents of Purchaser
and its affiliates harmless from and against any loss, damage, claim, demand,
cause of action, liability, costs or expense (including without limitation
interest, penalties, and attorneys' fees and disbursements) of any kind or
nature whatsoever asserted against or incurred by Purchaser or the Assets by
reason of, resulting from, or based upon: (a) any misrepresentation, breach of
warranty or breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or other agreement made by
them herein or in any other agreement executed and delivered by them pursuant
to this Agreement, (b) the ownership, management, operation or use of the
Assets and business of the Sellers prior to the Closing; (c) liabilities or
obligations with respect to the Assets or the business of the Sellers or the
operation thereof with respect to the periods before the Closing including, but
not limited to, claims relating to taxes due for periods prior to the Closing;
(d) occurrences of any nature prior to the Closing relating to the Sellers'
businesses or the Assets, whether such claims are asserted prior to or after
the Closing; (e) any obligation or liability relating to any employee benefit
plan of either Seller or relating to any employee of either Seller who is not
hired by Purchaser, and (f) any obligation or liability for any finders',
brokers' or agents' fee in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby.  SEE ADDENDUM.

NO INVESTIGATION BY OR ON BEHALF OF, AND NO NEGLIGENCE OF, PURCHASER OR ITS
AFFILIATES, NOR ANY INFORMATION THAT THEY MAY HAVE OR OBTAIN WILL AFFECT THE
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLERS AND THE SHAREHOLDERS HEREUNDER.

         15.     Purchaser's Right Of Offset.  Purchaser shall be entitled to
credit or offset against any amount due the Sellers or the Shareholders
pursuant to the Agreement (whether pursuant to Sections 3(b) or 3(c) hereof, or
otherwise), in the manner as the Purchaser may determine, an amount equal to
any or all amounts due to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

         16.     Entire Agreement: Counterparts.  This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous agreements and
understandings, both oral and written, of the parties in connection therewith.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.

         17.     Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or condition
of this Agreement is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
void or unenforceable in any respect, the remainder of such term,





                                      -8-

provision, covenant or condition in every other respect and the remainder of
this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall in no way be

a written instrument signed by all the parties hereto.

         19.     Governing Law; Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to

Buyer Ancillary Agreements; (c) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of
any representation of Buyer contained in this Agreement; or (d) the failure of

     7.4 NOTICE OF CLAIMS.

         (a) A party (the "Indemnified Party") seeking indemnification
     hereunder shall give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to
     such Indemnified Party (the "Indemnitor") a notice (a "Claim Notice")
     describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for
     indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then
     known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such 
     claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other
     agreement, document or 


                                    Page 8



<PAGE>   9
instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim
is based; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit
in equity by or against a third person as to which indemnification will be
sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; provided
further, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of
its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by
such failure.

     (b) In calculating any Loss there shall be deducted (i) any insurance
recovery in respect thereof (and no right of subrogation shall accrue hereunder
to any insurer) and (ii) the amount of any tax benefit to the Indemnified Party
with respect to such Loss or Expense (after giving effect to the tax effect of
receipt of the indemnification payments).

     (c) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of
indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this
Article VII shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any
court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) by any other means to which the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a
court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have
expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall
have been finally determined. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of
proof in establishing the amount of Loss suffered by it.

7.5. THIRD PERSON CLAIMS.

     (a) Subject to Section 7.5(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the right
to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense,
compromise or settlement of any third person claim, action or suit against such
Indemnified Party as to which indemnification will be sought by any Indemnified
Party from any Indemnitor hereunder, and in any such case the Indemnitor shall
cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information
and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings,
trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party in
connection therewith; provided, that the Indemnitor may participate, through
counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such claim,
action or suit as to which the Indemnified Party has so elected to conduct and
control the defense thereof; and provided, further, that the Indemnified Party
shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitor (which written consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), pay, compromise or settle any such claim,
action or suit, except that no such consent shall be required if, following a
written request from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor shall fail, within
14 days after the making of such request, to acknowledge and agree in writing
that, if such claim, action or suit shall be adversely determined, such
Indemnitor has an obligation to provide indemnification hereunder to such
Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such claim, action or suit
without such consent, provided that in such event the Indemnified Party shall
waive any right to indemnity hereunder unless such consent is unreasonably
withheld.

     (b) If any third person claim, action or suit against any Indemnified
Party is solely for money damages or, where Seller is the Indemnitor, will have
no continuing effect in any material respect on the Purchased Assets, then the
Indemnitor shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its
choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such third person claim,
action or suit against such Indemnified Party from any Indemnitor hereunder if
the Indemnitor has acknowledged and agreed in writing that, if the same is
adversely determined, the Indemnitor has an obligation to provide
indemnification to the Indemnified Party in respect thereof, and in any such
case the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall
furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences,
discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals 




                                    Page 9


<PAGE>   10
     as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor in connection therewith;
     provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate, through counsel,
     chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such claim,
     action or suit as to which the Indemnitor has so elected to conduct and
     control the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
     indemnified party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any
     such claim, action or suit, provided that in such event the Indemnified
     party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder unless the
     Indemnified Party shall have sought the consent of the Indemnitor to such
     payment, settlement or compromise and such consent was unreasonably
     withheld, in which event no claim for indemnity therefor hereunder shall
     be waived.

     7.6. THRESHOLD AND EXCLUSIVITY.

          (a)  Seller shall not be liable and Buyer agrees not to enforce any
     claim for indemnification under this Agreement until the aggregate of all
     such claims exceeds $50,000 (the "Threshold Amount"), and then the Buyer

     Amount shall be made only in increments of $2,500 or more, and claims
     relating to similar products or constituting like claims may be aggregated
     in determining the $2,500 amount.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.

     8.5. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement and the Attachments and
Schedules referred to herein, the documents delivered pursuant hereto and the
Non-Disclosure Agreement between Seller and Bear Communications Llp dated
December 11, 1996 contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with

prior agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among 
 



                                   Page 11



<PAGE>   12
any of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or
supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized
representative of each of the parties hereto.

     8.6. INTERPRETATION. Article titles and headings to sections herein are
inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of
or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The Schedules and
Attachments referred to herein shall be construed with and as an integral part
of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

     8.7. WAIVERS. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or
the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled
to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently
authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is
authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The
failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this
Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any
way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of
any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any
breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or
subsequent breach.

     8.8. EXPENSES. Each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident
to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and
compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to
be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements
of its counsel and accountants.

     8.9. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any
reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder
of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other
provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

     8.10. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument,
but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall
become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the
parties hereto and delivered to each of Seller and Buyer.

     8.11. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to
the conflicts of law provisions) of the State of Illinois. Seller and Buyer
will attempt to settle any claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement
through consultation and negotiation in good faith and a spirit of mutual
cooperation. If those attempts fail, then the dispute will be mediated by a
mutually-acceptable mediator to be chosen by Seller and Buyer within 45 days
after written notice by one of the parties demanding mediation. Neither party
may unreasonably withhold consent to the selection of a mediator, and Seller
and Buyer will share the costs of the mediation equally. By mutual agreement,
however, Seller and Buyer may postpone mediation until each has completed some
specified but limited discovery about the dispute. The parties may also agree
to replace mediation with some other form of alternative dispute resolution
(ADR), such as neutral fact-finding or a minitrial.

     Any dispute which cannot resolve by the parties through negotiation,
mediation or other form of ADR within six months of the date of the initial
demand for it by one of the parties hereto may then be submitted to the courts
within the State of Illinois for resolution (as provided in Section 8.12
below). The use of any ADR procedures will not be construed under the doctrines
of laches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of either party.
Nothing in this section will prevent either party from resorting to judicial
proceedings if (a) good faith efforts to resolve the dispute under these
procedures have been unsuccessful or (b) interim relief from a court is
necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to one party or to others.

     8.12. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. Seller and Buyer hereby irrevocable
submit in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relate to this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois and the jurisdiction of any court of the State of Illinois located in
Chicago and waive any and all objections to jurisdiction that they may have
under the laws of the State of Illinois or the United States.

     8.13. BULK TRANSFER. Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller with all
applicable bulk transfer, bulk sales and similar laws and requirements of all
jurisdictions in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller
shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer against any and all expense, loss or
damage which Buyer may suffer as a result of claims asserted by third parties
against Buyer due to any noncompliance by Seller with applicable bulk transfer
laws.

Gentlemen:

         The purpose of this letter agreement (this "Agreement") is to set
forth the terms and conditions agreed to by and among Bear Communications,
Inc., a California corporation ("Purchaser"), Alfred Fasano ("Fasano"), Tedco,
Inc.  ("Tedco")(Fasano and Tedco are sometimes collectively referred to herein
as the "Shareholders"), David J. Broser, Susan Broser Guttentag, Mindy Broser
Cepelewicz and Lori Broser Furnari (David J. Broser, Susan Broser Guttentag,
Mindy Broser Cepelewicz and Lori Broser Furnari, being the owners of all of the
capital stock of Tedco, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the
"Tedco Shareholders") for Purchaser's purchase of all of the capital stock (the
"Shares") of Cellular City, Inc. (fka Convention Communications, Inc.), a
Nevada corporation (the "Company").  For good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

         1.      Sale of Shares.  At the Closing (hereinafter defined),
Purchaser will purchase and the Shareholders will sell, convey and assign the
Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances.

         2.      Price for the Assets. The purchase price for the Shares (the
"Purchase Price") shall be [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] and shall
be payable by Purchaser to the Shareholders by wire transfers at the Closing.
The Purchase Price will be divided between the Shareholders based on their share
ownership as set forth in Section 3(b) hereof.

         3.      Representations and Warranties of the Shareholders.  The
Shareholders jointly and severally represent and warrant to Purchaser that the
following are true and correct as of the date hereof and that the following
will be true and correct as of the Closing Date:

                 (a)      The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
         existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada
         with all requisite power and authority to carry on the business in
         which it is now engaged and to own and lease the properties it now
         owns and leases.  The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign
         corporation in Illinois.  The Company is not
<PAGE>   2
         required to be qualified to conduct business in any jurisdiction other
         than the States of Nevada and Illinois.  Tedco is a corporation duly
         organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
         State of Nevada, with all requisite power and authority to execute and
         deliver this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder.

                 (b)      The authorized capital stock of the Company consists
         of 2,500 shares of Common Stock, of which 700 shares are issued and
         outstanding and no shares are held in treasury.  The outstanding
         Common Stock is held of record and beneficially as follows:  Fasano
         (336 shares) and Tedco (364 shares).  All of the outstanding shares of
         capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly
         issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and none have been issued or
         disposed of in violation of the preemptive rights of any current or
         former shareholder.  There are no outstanding securities convertible
         into or exchangeable for capital stock of the Company.  There are no
         outstanding options, warrants or other rights to acquire, or any
         plans, contracts or commitments providing for the issuance of or the
         right to acquire (i) any capital stock of the Company or (ii) any
         securities convertible into or exchangeable for the capital stock of
         the Company.

                 (c)      The Shareholders are the sole record and beneficial
         owners of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, free
         and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and proxies.  At the
         Closing, Purchaser will acquire good and indefeasible title to the
         Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and proxies
         other than those created by Purchaser, if any.

                 (d)      Each Shareholder has the capacity, power and
         authority to transfer the Shares owned by him or it without the
         consent of any other person.  Each Shareholder has the sole right to
         vote or direct the voting of the shares of capital stock of the
         Company owned by him or it, at his or its discretion, on any matter
         submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company.

                 (e)      The copies of the Articles of Incorporation and
         Bylaws, and all amendments thereto, of the Company that have been
         delivered to Purchaser are true, correct and complete copies thereof.
         The minute books of the Company, copies of which have been provided to
         Purchaser, contain complete and accurate minutes of all meetings of
         and accurate consents to all actions taken without meetings by the
         Board of Directors (and any committee thereof) and the shareholders of
         the Company since the formation of the Company.  There are no
         outstanding applications or filings that would alter in any way the
         charter documents or corporate status of the Company; no bylaws have
         been passed, enacted, consented to or adopted by the directors or
         shareholders of the Company except those contained in the minute books
         of the Company.

                 (f)      The Company owns all of the assets reflected in the
         October 31, 1996 balance sheet of the Company previously delivered by
         the Shareholders to Purchaser, along with property acquired by the
         Company since October 31, 1996 .  The inventory amounts on the October
         31, 1996 balance sheet reflect the cost of such inventory.  Set forth
         on Schedule 3(f) is a true and correct list of all fixed assets and
         rental cellular phones owned by Company.  The Company holds good and
         indefeasible title to all of its assets, free and clear of all liens,
         claims and encumbrances.  The assets owned and leased by the Company
         constitute all of the assets, property and goodwill of every kind and
         character used in the business of the Company.

                 (g)      The Shareholders have furnished to Purchaser the
         audited balance sheet and related statements of operations, and cash
         flows of the Company including the notes thereto at and for the





                                       2
<PAGE>   3
         period ending October 31, 1996 (the "Audited Financial Statements")
         and the unaudited balance sheet and related statements of operations,
         and cash flows of the Company at and for the period ending July 31,
         1997 (the "Unaudited Financial Statements," and collectively, with the
         Audited Financial Statements, the "Financial Statements").  The
         Financial Statements fairly present the financial condition and
         results of operations of the Company as of the dates and for the
         periods indicated and have been prepared in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis
         with prior practices.  There were not any significant items of income
         or expense which were unusual or of a nonrecurring nature reflected in
         the Financial Statements.

                 (h)      Except for those liabilities and obligations incurred
         in the ordinary course of business consistent with prior practices
         since the date of the Financial Statements, none of which are
         material, the Financial Statements reflect all liabilities and
         obligations of the Company, accrued, contingent or otherwise (known or
         unknown and asserted or unasserted), arising out of transactions
         effected or events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date.  All
         allowances and reserves shown in the Financial Statements are
         appropriate, reasonable and sufficient to provide for expenses and
         losses thereby contemplated.  The Company is not liable upon or with
         respect to, or obligated in any other way to provide funds in respect
         of or to guarantee or assume in any manner, any debt, obligation or
         dividend of any person, corporation, association, partnership, joint
         venture, trust or other entity.  The Company and each of the
         Shareholders know of no basis for the assertion of any other claims or
         liabilities of any nature or in any amount.

                 (i)      This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
         delivered by the Shareholders and is a valid and binding agreement of
         the Shareholders, enforceable against each such party in accordance
         with its terms.

                 (j)      Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement
         nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein violates
         any law, agreement, mortgage or other instrument or provision of law
         to which or under which the Company or the Shareholders are a party or
         bound.

                 (k)      Except for the consents set forth on Schedule 3(k)
         hereto, no consents or approvals are required for execution of this
         Agreement by the Shareholders or their consummation of the
         transactions contemplated herein.

                 (l)      There is no judicial, administrative or arbitral
         action, suit, proceeding (public or private), claim or demand pending
         or threatened against the Company or its business.

                 (m)      The Company and its business are, and have been, in
         compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, ordinances,
         licenses, permits and orders.  The Company does not have any employee
         benefit plans other than a group health insurance plan.  The Company
         has paid all amounts due pursuant to the health insurance plan.  The
         Company has maintained all employee benefit plans and arrangements in
         accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations including
         the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Employee
         Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and have timely
         filed with all applicable regulatory authorities all applicable
         reports and returns required to be filed by them with respect to its
         employee benefit plans and arrangements.

                 (n)      Except as explicitly disclosed in the July 31, 1997
         balance sheet delivered by the Shareholders to the Purchaser, the
         Company has no liabilities for federal, state or local taxes,
         including but not limited to income, estimated, sales, use, ad
         valorem, personal property, franchise, payroll, employment, social
         security, unemployment, and disability taxes.  The Company has duly
         and timely filed all tax returns required to be filed by or on behalf
         of it pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local law for all
         years and periods for which such tax returns have become due.  All
         such tax returns were correct and complete.  All taxes owed by the
         Company or required to be withheld or collected by the Company and
         paid to a taxing authority have been paid to the appropriate taxing
         authority, or if they are not yet required to be paid to the
         appropriate taxing authority, have been set aside in accounts for such
         purpose or have been reserved on the books of account of the Company.
         The Company has never filed an election to be treated as an S
         corporation in accordance with the provisions of Section 1362(a) of
         the Internal Revenue Code.

                 (o)      The Company has not suffered any adverse change in
         its business, operations, financial condition or prospects from that
         heretofore represented to Purchaser or its affiliates, officers or
         representatives.  Since the date of the Audited Financial Statements,
         the Company has conducted its business in the ordinary and normal
         course consistent with past practices including the payment of
         payables in a timely manner.

                 (p)      Schedule 3(p) hereto sets forth all contracts to
         which the Company is a party (the "Contracts").  The Company has
         provided Purchaser with true, correct, and current copies of the
         Contracts other than the Nevada lease, which the Company can not find.
         All of the Contracts are in full force and effect.  Neither party to
         any Contract is in default under any of such Contract, and no event
         has occurred that would, with the passage of time, cause a default
         under any of such Contracts.  The Company has paid the other party to
         each such Contract all amounts it owes them.  The lease to which the
         Company is a party in Nevada is a month to month lease.  The Company
         does not have a lease in Illinois.

                 (q)      Set forth in Schedule 3(q) hereto is a complete and
         accurate list of all employees of the Company, together with their
         dates of hire, positions and their annual salaries and other
         compensation.  The Company has not granted or become obligated to
         grant any increases in the wages or salary of, or paid or become
         obligated to pay any bonus or made or become obligated to make any
         similar payment to or grant any benefit to or on behalf of, any
         officer, employee or agent.  The Company has no direct or indirect,
         express or implied, obligation to pay severance or termination pay to
         any officer or employee of the Company or to pay any amounts to any
         consultant, agent or similar person or entity.  The Company and the
         Shareholders have no knowledge of any facts which would indicate that
         any employee of the Company will not remain employed by the Company or
         Purchaser on a basis no less favorable than that upon which such
         employee is currently employed by the Company.  The Company is not a
         party to any collective bargaining agreement or the subject of any
         union organization effort, and there are not any pending or threatened
         strikes, labor disputes, slow downs or stoppages pending or threatened
         against the Company.

                 (r)      All of the fixed assets (including but not limited to
         all equipment), owned or leased by the Company are in good condition
         and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted), fit for their intended
         use in the ordinary course of business, and conform in all respects
         with all applicable ordinances, regulations and other laws and there
         are no known latent defects therein.  To the best of the Company's
         knowledge all regular maintenance or service requirements, and product
         recalls,





                                       4

         have been followed, installed, or otherwise implemented on and with
         respect to the fixed assets.  All inventory of the Company is in good,
         current, standard, and merchantable condition and is not defective.
         The inventory of the Company is properly recorded on the Financial
         Statements at the lower of cost (last in-first out) or market in
         accordance with GAAP.

                 (s)      All patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks,
         copyrights and other proprietary rights ("Proprietary Rights") which
         the Company owns or uses are listed in Schedule 3(s) hereto.  The
         Company has a valid right to use all of such Proprietary Rights
         without conflict with the rights of others.  No person has made or
         threatened to make any claim that the operations of the Company are in
         violation of or infringe upon any Proprietary Right of any other
         person.

                 (t)      The books of account of the Company have been kept
         accurately in the ordinary course of its business, the transactions
         entered therein represent bona fide transactions and the revenues,
         expenses, assets and liabilities of the Company have been properly
         recorded in such books.  The records are in good order, are complete,
         and have been maintained in accordance with sound business practices.

                 (u)      Set forth in Schedule 3(u) hereto is a complete and
         accurate list and description of all accounts receivable of the
         Company's business from sales made as of July 31, 1997, and the
         payments and rights to receive payments related thereto.  All of the
         accounts receivable are free and clear of any security interests,
         liens, encumbrances, or other charges; none of such accounts
         receivable are subject to any offsets or claims of offsets; and none
         of the obligors of the accounts receivable have given notice that they
         will or may refuse to pay the full amount thereof or any portion
         thereof.  All accounts receivable will be collected in the usual and
         ordinary course of business within 90 days after the Closing assuming
         Purchaser undertakes reasonable efforts to collect such receivables.

                 (v)      Since October 31, 1996, the Company has not (i)
         declared, paid or set aside for payment any dividend or distribution
         to its shareholder or shareholders, (ii) made any loan or advance to
         any shareholder, officer, director or employee, (iii) redeemed,
         purchased or otherwise acquired or sold or issued any of its capital
         stock or any right to acquire such capital stock, (iv) increased the
         compensation of or paid or accrued any bonus to any employee other
         than in accordance with past established practices, or (v) except as
         described on Schedule 3(v) hereto, paid any management or consulting
         fee or any other amounts to any Shareholder, Worldwide Communications,
         Inc. or any other person related to or affiliated with the Company,
         any Shareholder or any employee of the Company, and none of such
         actions will be taken after the date hereof until the consummation of
         the transactions contemplated hereby.

                 (w)      No shareholder, director, or officer of the Company,
         nor any person who is a spouse or descendant of such shareholder,
         director or officer, has any direct or indirect relationship with any
         customer or supplier of, or other contracting party with, the Company.

                 (x)      Neither the Company nor any Shareholder knows or has
         any reason to believe, or has received notice or information, that any
         supplier of the Company or any other party that does business with the
         Company will cease or refuse to do business with the Company or
         Purchaser after the consummation of the transactions contemplated
         hereby in the same manner, and same amount, as previously conducted
         with the Company.  Neither the Company nor any Shareholder has
         received





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
         any notice of any disruption (including delayed deliveries or
         allocations by suppliers or service providers) in the availability of
         the products used by the Company, nor are the Company or any
         Shareholder aware of any facts which could lead the Company to believe
         that the Company or Purchaser will be subject to any such material
         disruption.  Neither the Company nor any Shareholder is aware of any
         condition (financial or otherwise) affecting any supplier or any other
         party that does business with the Company that will, or could be
         reasonably expected to, now or in the future, reduce each such party's
         ability to do business with Purchaser in substantially the same manner
         and amount that each such party has done business with the Company
         during the period preceding this Agreement.  Set forth in Schedule
         3(x) is a complete and accurate list and description of all volume
         discounts and other discounts provided by any supplier of the Company
         or other party.

                 (y)      No Shareholder knows or has any reason to believe, or
         has received notice or information, that any customer of the Company
         will cease or refuse to do business with the Company or Purchaser
         after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in the
         same manner, and same amount, as previously conducted with the
         Company.  The Company does not have any customers that constituted 5%
         or more of the Company's revenues for the twelve-month period ended
         July 31, 1997.

                 (z)      All information furnished to Purchaser by the Company
         or the Shareholders, whether or not herein or in any Exhibit or
         Schedule hereto, is true, correct, and complete.  Such information
         states all material facts required to be stated therein or necessary
         to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
         which such statements are made, true, correct and complete in all
         material respects.  The Shareholders have made due inquiry and
         investigation concerning the matters to which representations and
         warranties of the Shareholders under this Agreement pertain and the
         Company and the Shareholders, and each of them, are unaware of any
         facts, events or circumstances which have not been disclosed to
         Purchaser which are material to the financial condition, results of
         operations, business or prospects of the Company.

The representations, warranties and covenants of the Shareholders set forth in
this Agreement shall survive execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Closing.

         4.      Representations and Warranties of the Tedco Shareholders.  The
Tedco Shareholders jointly and severally represent and warrant to Purchaser
that the following are true and correct as of the date hereof and that the
following will be true and correct as of the Closing Date:

                 (a)      The authorized capital stock of the Company consists
         of 2,500 shares of Common Stock, of which 700 shares are issued and
         outstanding and no shares are held in treasury.  The outstanding
         Common Stock is held of record and beneficially as follows:  Fasano
         (336 shares) and Tedco (364 shares).  All of the outstanding shares of
         capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly
         issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and none have been issued or
         disposed of in violation of the preemptive rights of any current or
         former shareholder.  There are no outstanding securities convertible
         into or exchangeable for capital stock of the Company.  There are no
         outstanding options, warrants or other rights to acquire, or any
         plans, contracts or commitments providing for the issuance of or the
         right to acquire (i) any capital stock of the Company or (ii) any
         securities convertible into or exchangeable for the capital stock of
         the Company.





                                       6
<PAGE>   7
                 (b)      The Shareholders are the sole record and beneficial
         owners of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, free
         and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and proxies.  At the
         Closing, Purchaser will acquire good and indefeasible title to the
         Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and proxies.
         The Tedco Shareholders are the sole record and beneficial owners (and
         have been for at least one year prior to the date hereof) of all of
         the capital stock of Tedco, securities convertible into or
         exchangeable for capital stock of Tedco, and all options, warrants or
         other rights to acquire the foregoing.

                 (c)      Tedco has, and to the best knowledge of Tedco and the
         Tedco Shareholders Fasano has, the capacity, power and authority to
         transfer the Shares owned by him or it without the consent of any
         other person.  Tedco has, and to the best knowledge of Tedco and the
         Tedco Shareholders Fasano has, the sole right to vote or direct the
         voting of the shares of capital stock of the Company owned by him or
         it, at his or its discretion, on any matter submitted to a vote of
         shareholders of the Company.

                 (d)      The Shareholders have furnished to Purchaser the
         audited balance sheet and related statements of operations, and cash
         flows of the Company including the notes thereto at and for the period
         ending October 31, 1996 (the "Audited Financial Statements") and the
         unaudited balance sheet and related statements of operations, and cash
         flows of the Company at and for the period ending July 31, 1997 (the
         "Unaudited Financial Statements," and collectively, with the Audited
         Financial Statements, the "Financial Statements").  The Financial
         Statements fairly present the financial condition and results of
         operations of the Company as of the dates and for the periods
         indicated and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
         accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis with
         prior practices.  There were not any significant items of income or
         expense which were unusual or of a nonrecurring nature reflected in
         the Financial Statements.

                 (e)      Except for those liabilities and obligations incurred
         in the ordinary course of business consistent with prior practices
         since the date of the Financial Statements, none of which are
         material, the Financial Statements reflect all liabilities and
         obligations of the Company, accrued, contingent or otherwise (known or
         unknown and asserted or unasserted), arising out of transactions
         effected or events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date.  All
         allowances and reserves shown in the Financial Statements are
         appropriate, reasonable and sufficient to provide for expenses and
         losses thereby contemplated.  The Company is not liable upon or with
         respect to, or obligated in any other way to provide funds in respect
         of or to guarantee or assume in any manner, any debt, obligation or
         dividend of any person, corporation, association, partnership, joint
         venture, trust or other entity.  The Company and each of the Tedco
         Shareholders know of no basis for the assertion of any other claims or
         liabilities of any nature or in any amount.

                 (f)      Except as explicitly disclosed in the July 31, 1997
         balance sheet delivered by the Shareholders to the Purchaser, the
         Company has no liabilities for federal, state or local taxes,
         including but not limited to income, estimated, sales, use, ad
         valorem, personal property, franchise, payroll, employment, social
         security, unemployment, and disability taxes.  The Company has duly
         and timely filed all tax returns required to be filed by or on behalf
         of it pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local law for all
         years and periods for which such tax returns have become due.  All
         such tax returns were correct and complete.  All taxes owed by the
         Company or required to be withheld or collected by the Company and
         paid to a taxing authority have been paid to the





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
         appropriate taxing authority, or if they are not yet required to be
         paid to the appropriate taxing authority, have been set aside in
         accounts for such purpose or have been reserved on the books of
         account of the Company.  The Company has never filed an election to be
         treated as an S corporation in accordance with the provisions of
         Section 1362(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The representations, warranties and covenants of the Tedco Shareholders set
forth in this Agreement shall survive execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the Closing.

         5.      Closing.  The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby
(the "Closing") will take place concurrently with the execution of this

consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be July 25, 1997.

         dated the Closing Date and addressed to Purchaser stating that to its
         knowledge that there are no pending audits or investigations involving
         the Company and that it has no reason to believe that the Financial
         Statements do not fairly present the financial condition of the
         Company at and for the periods set forth therein;

                 (e)      the Shareholders shall deliver evidence of receipt of
         all required approvals, consents, licenses and permits to the

<PAGE>   9
                 (i)      the Company and the Shareholders shall execute and
         deliver such other documents as are reasonably requested by Purchaser
         to effectuate the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

         7.      [Intentionally Deleted]

         8.      Confidentiality.  The Shareholders agree to hold in confidence
the terms of this Agreement and, except as required by law, will not make the

then only to the extent necessary, provided each such person is advised of the
confidential nature of the terms hereof and agrees to hold the same in
confidence.

         9.      Noncompetition and Non-solicitation.

                 (a)      With respect to Tedco and the Tedco Shareholders for
         a period of three years after the Closing, and with respect to Fasano
         for a period until the later of three years after the Closing or one
         year after he ceases to be employed by Purchaser, the Company or any
         of their affiliates (the "Noncompetition Period"), and except for
         services performed on behalf of Purchaser or the Company, the
         Shareholders and the Tedco Shareholders (collectively, the "Restricted
         Persons") agree that neither they nor any of their affiliates will
         directly or indirectly either as an individual, a partner or a joint
         venturer, or in any other capacity, (i) invest (other than investments
         in publicly-owned companies which constitute not more than 1% of the
         voting securities of any such company), or engage in, within the State
         of Nevada or within 100 miles of Chicago, Illinois (x) the business of
         selling, renting, or servicing any wireless communication products or
         (y) any other business that is competitive with that of Purchaser, the
         Company or their affiliates (the items listed under clauses (x) and
         (y) hereto are collectively referred to herein as "Competitive
         Businesses"), or (ii) accept employment with or render services to
         Competitive Businesses that engages in such Competitive Business
         within the State of Nevada or within 100 miles of Chicago, Illinois as
         a director, officer, agent, employee, consultant, or any other
         capacity.  For purposes of this Agreement, a "business that is
         competitive with that of Purchaser, the Company or their affiliates"
         specifically includes persons, firms, sole proprietorships,
         partnerships, companies, corporations or other entities that market
         products and/or perform services within the State of Nevada or within
         100 miles of Chicago, Illinois in direct or indirect competition with
         those marketed and/or performed by Purchaser or its affiliates
         including the Company (with regard to the Restricted Persons other
         than Fasano, a business shall only be considered to be competitive
         with that of Purchaser, the Company or their affiliates if it markets
         products and/or performs services that are in direct or indirect
         competition with those marketed and/or performed as of the Closing
         Date by Purchaser, the Company or their affiliates).  Purchaser
         acknowledges and understands that affiliates of certain of the
         Restricted Persons are in the business of re-selling long distance
         phone services and 800 telephone numbers, and Purchaser agrees that
         such business shall not be considered to be a business that is
         competitive with that of Purchaser, the Company or their affiliates.
         The parties agree that, if such non-competition agreement is
         determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable,
         such agreement should be reformed by the court to the extent necessary
         to be enforceable and to give effect to the intent of this Section 9.

                 (b)      During the Noncompetition Period, the Restricted
         Persons will not, directly or indirectly, (i) except on behalf of the
         Company or Purchaser, solicit for any purpose, any customer or former
         customer of the Company or Purchaser, (ii) solicit for employment by
         himself, itself, or





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
         anyone else, any employee of the Company, Purchaser or their
         affiliates or any person who was an employee of the Company, Purchaser
         or their affiliates within the four-month period immediately preceding
         such solicitation or employment, other than such person whose
         employment was terminated by Purchaser or its affiliates; or (iii)
         induce or attempt to induce, any such employee of the Company,
         Purchaser or their affiliates to terminate such employee's employment.

                 (c)      The parties hereto acknowledge that the provisions of
         this Section 9 are supported by good and valuable consideration and
         Purchaser's agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated
         hereby are conditioned upon its receipt of the protection provided in
         this Section 9.  The parties hereto further acknowledge that the scope
         and duration of the covenants set forth in this Section 9 are in all
         respects reasonable.

                 (d)      The Restricted Persons acknowledge and agree that the
         breach by any of them of the provisions of this Section 9 could not be
         adequately compensated with monetary damages and would irreparably
         injure Purchaser and the Company, and, accordingly, that injunctive
         relief and specific performance shall be appropriate remedies to
         enforce the provisions of this Section against the Restricted Persons,
         and the Restricted Persons waive any claim or defense that there is an
         adequate remedy at law for such breach; provided, however, that
         nothing contained herein shall limit the remedies, legal or equitable,
         otherwise available to Purchaser, and all remedies of Purchaser herein
         are in addition to any remedies available to Purchaser at law or
         otherwise.

                 (e)      The Restricted Persons acknowledge and recognize that
         the enforcement of any of the noncompetition provisions in this
         Agreement by Purchaser will not interfere with the Restricted Persons'
         ability to pursue a proper livelihood.  The Restricted Persons further
         represent that they are capable of pursuing a career that would not
         violate the noncompetition provisions hereof to earn a proper
         livelihood.  The Restricted Persons agree that due to the nature of
         such business, the noncompetition restrictions set forth in this
         Agreement are reasonable as to time and geographic area.  At any time
         during the non-compete period, Purchaser may require the Restricted
         Persons to supply such information as Purchaser deems necessary to
         ascertain whether or not the Restricted Persons have complied with, or
         have violated, the covenants set forth in this Section 9.  Any such
         request for information will be sent to the Restricted Persons by
         certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to such person's
         last known address.  The Restricted Persons shall furnish the
         requested information to Purchaser within 10 days following the
         receipt of such request.

         10.     Expenses; Transfer Tax.  Purchaser, on the one hand, and the
Shareholders, on the other hand, will bear their own costs and expenses of the
transactions contemplated hereby.  The Company will not bear any costs and
expenses of the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Shareholders shall be
liable for and shall pay any transfer tax, sales tax and other similar taxes
resulting from consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

         11.     Further Assurances.  At the Closing and after the Closing,
each party hereto shall take all actions and duly execute and deliver or cause
to be executed and delivered all instruments of sale, conveyance, transfer,
assignment or assumption, and all notices, releases, acquittances and other
documents that may be necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement, or more fully to sell, convey, transfer,
assign, and deliver to and vest in Purchaser the Shares sold, conveyed,
transferred, assigned, and delivered by the Company pursuant hereto or intended
so to be.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Shareholders are not guaranteeing
the future profits of the Company.

         12.     Indemnification.  The Shareholders and the Tedco Shareholders
shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold Purchaser and its affiliates
and the officers, directors, partners, stockholders, employees and agents of
Purchaser and its affiliates harmless from and against any loss, damage, claim,
demand, cause of action, liability, costs or expense (including without
limitation interest, penalties, and attorneys' fees and disbursements) of any
kind or nature whatsoever asserted against or incurred by Purchaser or the
Company by reason of, resulting from, or based upon: (a) any misrepresentation,
breach of warranty or breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or other
agreement made by them herein or in any other agreement executed and delivered
by them pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any liability of the Company for
failure to file any federal, state or local income tax return, and any
liability or obligation to pay any federal, state or local taxes, relating to
any tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and any liability to pay
interest or penalties upon or with respect to any of the foregoing, (c) any
obligation or liability relating to any period prior to the Closing Date
relating to any employee benefit plan of the Company or relating to any
employee of the Company who is not retained by Purchaser or the Company after
the Closing, and (d) any obligation or liability for any finders', brokers' or
agents' fee in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided,
however, the liability of each Shareholder pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 12 shall not exceed the Purchase Price received by him or it.  No claim
shall be made against the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 12 unless and
until the aggregate amount of such claims exceed the sum of $12,500, whereupon
the indemnified party shall be entitled to recover the full amount of all
claims, including the initial $12,500.

NO INVESTIGATION BY OR ON BEHALF OF, AND NO NEGLIGENCE OF, PURCHASER OR ITS
AFFILIATES, NOR ANY INFORMATION THAT THEY MAY HAVE OR OBTAIN WILL AFFECT THE
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS OR THE TEDCO SHAREHOLDERS
HEREUNDER.

         13.     Entire Agreement: Counterparts.  This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous agreements and
understandings, both oral and written, of the parties in connection therewith.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.

         14.     Severability.  The parties hereto intend all provisions of
this Agreement including the provisions set forth in Section 9 hereof to be
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Accordingly, should a court
of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision herein is
too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform
the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and
enforceable.  In addition, however, the Restricted Persons agree that the
noncompetition agreements and nonemployment agreements set forth above each
constitute separate agreements independently supported by good and adequate
consideration and shall be severable from the other provisions of, and shall
survive, this Agreement.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during
the term hereof, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement
shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision never comprised a part of this Agreement; and the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall
not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its
severance herefrom.  Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this
Agreement, a provision as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

a written instrument signed by all the parties hereto.

         16.     Governing Law; Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to
the conflicts of laws principles thereof.  Venue for any disputes regarding
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the liabilities or
obligations imposed hereunder shall be in federal or state court in Dallas
County, Texas.

         Re:     Tomba Communications, L.L.C.

Gentlemen:

         The purpose of this letter agreement (this "Agreement") is to set
forth the terms and conditions agreed to by and among BearCom Operating, L.P.,
a Texas limited partnership ("Purchaser"), Tomba Communications, L.L.C., a
Louisiana limited liability company (the "Company"), Joseph J. Tomba and Thomas
C. Tomba (Joseph J. Tomba and Thomas C. Tomba are sometimes collectively
referred to herein as the "Sellers") for Purchaser's purchase of certain assets
of the Company.  For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         1.      Sale of Assets; Purchase Price.

                 (a)      Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
         forth, at the Closing (hereinafter defined), Purchaser will purchase
         and the Company will sell, convey and assign, free and clear of all
         liens, claims and encumbrances, all of the assets owned by the Company
         as of the Closing Date (hereinafter defined) other than cash,
         including, but not limited to, all of the real property, fixed assets,
         inventory, rental two-way radios, accounts receivable, accrued coop
         receivables, intangible assets, customer data and related information,
         permits, computers, the contracts set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the
         "Assumed Contracts"), records, leasehold improvements, fixtures, and
         the phone and fax numbers of the Company (collectively, the "Assets").

                 (b)      The purchase price for the Assets (the "Purchase
         Price") shall be [Confidential Treatment Requested with SEC] and 
         shall be payable by delivery at the Closing of Purchaser checks or 
         wire transfers of the Purchase Price.

                 (c)      Taxes for the current year relating to any of the
         Assets (including the Real Property (hereinafter defined)) shall be
         prorated through the Closing Date.  An estimated adjustment shall be
         made at the Closing.  Once actual amounts are known (including when
         the taxes are actually assessed on the Real Property), the Company and
         the Sellers, on the one hand, and/or the Purchaser shall pay the other
         any amounts due to correctly reflect the intent of parties reflected
         in the proration provisions set forth herein.

<PAGE>   2
         2.      Liabilities Not Assumed.

                 (a)      Purchaser will not assume or be liable for any
         liabilities or obligations of the Company other than the liabilities
         described on Exhibit B hereto (the "Assumed Liabilities"), and the
         Company and the Sellers will, jointly and severally, indemnify
         Purchaser against and hold it harmless from all such liabilities and
         obligations other than the Assumed Liabilities.

                 (b)      The liabilities and obligations of the Company that
         Purchaser will not assume include, but are not limited to, all
         liabilities or obligations that relate to the period, or conditions
         existing, before the Closing, including any liabilities of the Company
         to either Seller or any other person or entity controlled by,
         controlling or under common control with any of them, trade payables
         and other accounts payable not set forth on Exhibit B hereto incurred
         in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $140,000, bank debt
         or other debts for borrowed money, pension, and other employee benefit
         plan liabilities (including any accruals relating thereto), breaches
         or violations of agreements to which the Company or the Assets are
         subject, violations of law or applicable statutory regulations,
         property damage, personal injury, negligence, sexual abuse or
         harassment or employee claims based on events occurring prior to the
         Closing Date, any obligations of the Company to pay employees for
         accrued but not taken vacations, liabilities or obligations to
         remediate or cleanup any contamination or pollution of the air, soil
         or other environmental conditions occurring or existing prior to the
         Closing Date, or any contingent liabilities (whether or not known).

         3.      Representations and Warranties.  The Company and the Sellers
jointly and severally represent and warrant to Purchaser that the following are
true and correct as of the date hereof in all material respects except as set
forth in the Schedules hereto and that the following will be true and correct
as of the Closing Date:

                 (a)      The Company is a limited liability company duly
         organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
         State of Louisiana with all requisite power and authority to carry on
         the business in which it is now engaged, to own and lease the
         properties it now owns and leases, and to execute and deliver this
         Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder.  The Company is
         qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company in the
         State of Texas.  The Company is not required to be qualified to
         conduct business in any jurisdiction other than the States of
         Louisiana and Texas.  The Company does not have any subsidiaries or
         any equity or other ownership interest in any corporation, partnership
         or other entity.

                 (b)      The Sellers are the sole record and beneficial owners
         of all of the outstanding interests of the Company.

                 (c)      Set forth on Schedule 3(c) is a true and correct list
         of assets used by the Company  including fixed assets, inventory and
         rental two-way radios.  The Company holds good and indefeasible title
         to all of such assets, free and clear of all liens, claims and
         encumbrances other than the liens described on Schedule 3(c).  The
         Assets purchased by Purchaser at the  Closing will include all of the
         assets listed on Schedule 3(c) (other than inventory sold in the
         ordinary course of business since the date of that Schedule on a basis
         consistent with prior practices) plus inventory purchased
<PAGE>   3
         since the date of that Schedule (which will have a value of at least
         as much as the inventory sold by the Company between the date of that
         Schedule and Closing).  At the Closing, Purchaser will acquire all of
         the assets, property and goodwill of every kind and character used by
         the Company, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances.
         The Assets are all of the assets which are necessary for Purchaser to
         operate the business of the Company in the manner the Company has been
         operating it.

                 (d)      The Company has the power and authority to transfer
         the Assets without the consent of any other person.  The Sellers have
         the sole right to vote or direct the voting of the interests in the
         Company, at their discretion, on any matter submitted to a vote of
         members of the Company.

                 (e)      The Company owns all of the assets reflected in the
         August 31, 1997 balance sheet of the Company previously delivered by
         the Company to Purchaser, along with property acquired by the Company
         since August 31, 1997.  The inventory amounts on the August 31, 1997
         balance sheets reflect the cost of such inventory.  The assets owned
         and leased by the Company constitute all of the assets, property and
         goodwill of every kind and character used in the business of the
         Company.  The Company has an owners' title insurance policy with
         respect to each tract of real property owned by it ("Real Property")
         and has provided true and correct copies thereof to Purchaser.

                 (f)      The Sellers have furnished to Purchaser the compiled
         balance sheet and related statements of income and cash flows of the
         Company at and for the year ending December 31, 1996 and the
         internally-generated balance sheet and related statements of income of
         the Company at and for the period ending August 31, 1997
         (collectively, "Financial Statements").  To the best knowledge of the
         Company and the Sellers, the Financial Statements fairly present the
         financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of the
         dates and for the periods indicated and, to the best knowledge of the
         Company and the Sellers, have been prepared in conformity with
         generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a
         consistent basis with prior practices.  To the best knowledge of the
         Company and the Sellers, there were not any significant items of
         revenue or expense which were unusual or of a nonrecurring nature
         reflected in the Financial Statements.  To the best knowledge of the
         Company and the Sellers, except for those liabilities and obligations
         incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with prior
         practices since the date of the Financial Statements, none of which
         are material, the Financial Statements reflect all liabilities and
         obligations of the Company, accrued, contingent or otherwise (known or
         unknown and asserted or unasserted), arising out of transactions
         effected or events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date.  To the
         best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers, all allowances and
         reserves shown in the Financial Statements are appropriate, reasonable
         and sufficient to provide for expenses and losses thereby contemplated
         including the reserve for all taxes payable.

                 (g)      This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
         delivered by the Company and each Seller and is a valid and binding
         agreement of each of them, enforceable against each of them in
         accordance with its terms.

                 (h)      Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement
         nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein violates,
         breaches, conflicts with or constitutes a default under, or permits
         the termination or the acceleration of maturity of, or results in the
         imposition of any lien, claim or encumbrance upon any property or
         asset of the Company pursuant to, the organizational





                                       3
<PAGE>   4
         documents of the Company or any law, agreement, mortgage or other
         instrument or provision of law to which or under which any of the
         Company or either Seller is a party or bound.

                 (i)      Except for the consents set forth on Schedule 3(i)
         hereto, no consents or approvals are required for execution of this
         Agreement by the Company or either Seller or their consummation of the
         transactions contemplated herein.

                 (j)      The Company and its business are, and have been, in
         compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, ordinances,
         licenses, permits and orders.  The only plans of the Company subject
         to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
         are its 401(k) Plan and its health insurance plan.

                          The Company purchased the Real Property on December
         28, 1995.  The Company has provided Purchaser with a true and correct
         copy of an environmental audit report relating to the Real Property.
         To the best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers, the location,
         construction, occupancy, operation and use of all of the Real
         Property, including the buildings, improvements, fixtures and
         equipment forming a part thereof, do not violate, and the Company has
         complied with, any applicable federal, state and local law, rule,
         ordinance, regulation, judgment, order determination of any
         governmental authority or any board of fire underwriters (or other
         body exercising similar functions), or any restrictive covenant or
         deed restriction (recorded or otherwise) affecting the Real Property,
         including without limitation all applicable zoning ordinances and
         building codes and laws, common laws, ordinances, regulations or
         policies, as well as orders, decrees, judgments or injunctions issued,
         promulgated, approved or entered thereunder relating to the
         environment, health and safety and the use, handling, transportation,
         production, disposal, discharge or storage of "hazardous substances"
         (including, without limitation, any pollutant, toxic substance,
         hazardous waste, compound, element or chemical that is defined as
         hazardous, toxic, noxious or dangerous pursuant to such Applicable
         Environmental Laws (as defined herein) or regulated in any manner
         pursuant thereto) or to industrial hygiene or the environmental
         conditions on, under or about the Real Property, including, without
         limitation, soil, groundwater, and indoor and ambient air conditions
         (collectively, "Applicable Environmental Laws").

                          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
         subsection, to the best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers no
         claim has been asserted, and there are no unasserted claims (whether
         or not the potential claimant may be aware of the claim) that might be
         asserted against the Company or Purchaser, and there is no basis for
         any claims, arising out of the handling, treatment, storage,
         transportation, disposal (or the arranging therefor) or the discharge
         into the environment of any hazardous or toxic substance, or hazardous
         or solid waste, including any constituent thereof or other pollutant
         or contaminant or the exposure of workers in the workplace to any
         hazardous or toxic substance or contaminant, including, without
         limitation, claims for penalties, natural resource damage, personal
         injury, property damage or response or remedial costs, whether at
         common law or under any law relating to such substance, including,
         without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
         Compensation and Liability Act and the Superfund Amendments and
         Reauthorization Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the
         Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act,
         the Occupational Safety and Health Act ("OSHA") and applicable state
         and local laws.  To the best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers,
         none of Sellers nor the Company have obtained or are required to
         obtain, and none of Sellers nor the Company knows of any reason
         Purchaser will be required to obtain, any permits, licenses or similar





                                       4

         authorizations to construct, occupy, operate or use any buildings,
         improvements, fixtures or equipment forming a part of the Real
         Property by reason of any Applicable Environmental Laws.

                          To the best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers,
         no underground storage tanks for petroleum or any other substance, or
         underground piping or conduits associated with such tanks, are or have
         previously been located on the Real Property.  To the best knowledge
         of the Company and the Sellers, no asbestos-containing materials or
         PCB-containing materials were installed or are present on the Real
         Property.  To the best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers, none
         of Sellers nor the Company has ever been refused insurance coverage,
         nor has insurance coverage ever been cancelled, as a result of the
         presence of pollutants or contaminants, including, but not limited to,
         hazardous waste, solid waste or hazardous substances, on the Real
         Property.  To the best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers, there
         are no activities on the Real Property, including but not limited to
         the disposal of industrial waste, that would currently require deed
         recordation by the Company now or at any future date.  To the best
         knowledge of the Company and the Sellers, there are no active or
         inactive solid waste management units or hazardous waste management
         units on the Real Property.  To the best knowledge of the Company and
         the Sellers, there has been no past or present spill, discharge or
         other release of hydrocarbons or hazardous or toxic substances onto or
         from the Real Property.  To the best knowledge of the Company and the
         Sellers, Sellers and the Company have taken all steps necessary to
         determine and have determined that no hazardous or toxic substances,
         hazardous or solid wastes are present or have at any time been
         disposed of or otherwise released on or to the Real Property.  To the
         best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers, no building materials
         used to construct improvements upon the Real Property contain any
         toxic or hazardous substances, or hazardous or solid wastes,
         including, but not limited to, asbestos, PCBs, formaldehyde, chlordane
         or heptachlor.  To the best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers,
         there are no company plans or documents, whether or not government
         approved, including, but not limited to, contingency plans, closure
         and post-closure plans which impose environmental obligations on
         Sellers or the Company or against the Real Property.  To the best
         knowledge of the Company and the Sellers, there are no requirements,
         whether by regulation, agreement or otherwise, imposing financial
         obligations with respect to environmental conditions or activities.
         To the best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers, there are no
         environmental liens or security interests against the Real Property
         nor are there any environmental liens or actions pending which would
         result in the creation of any lien relating to environmental
         conditions of the Real Property.

                          To the best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers,
         Sellers and the Company have provided Purchaser with all environmental
         studies and reports in their possession or control conducted by
         independent contractors, environmental records of Sellers or the
         Company, and correspondence with any governmental entities concerning
         environmental conditions of the Real Property, or which identify
         underground tanks, or otherwise relate to contamination of the soil or
         groundwater.

                 (k)      The Company has provided Purchaser with access to,
         and will at Closing provide originals of, true, correct, and current
         copies of the Assumed Contracts.  To the best knowledge of the Company
         and the Sellers, all of the Assumed Contracts are in full force and
         effect.  To the best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers, neither
         party to any Assumed Contract is in default under any of such Assumed
         Contract, and no event has occurred that would, with the passage of
         time, cause a default under any of such Assumed Contracts.  To the
         best knowledge of the Company





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
         and the Sellers, the Company has paid the other party to each such
         Assumed Contract all amounts it owes them.  The Company is not subject
         to any non-competition or other agreement that would restrict its
         ability to engage in any business.

                 (l)      The Company has provided to Purchaser access to, and
         will at Closing provide originals of, true and correct copies of all
         of the personnel records of the Company.  To the best knowledge of the
         Company and Sellers, the Company has not granted or become obligated
         to grant any increases in the wages or salary of, or paid or become
         obligated to pay any bonus or made or become obligated to make any
         similar payment to or grant any benefit to or on behalf of, any
         officer, employee or agent.  To the best knowledge of the Company and
         Sellers, the Company does not have any direct or indirect, express or
         implied, obligation to pay severance or termination pay to any officer
         or employee of the Company or to pay any amounts to any consultant,
         agent or similar person or entity.  None of the Company or either
         Seller has any knowledge of any facts which would indicate that any
         employee of the Company would not accept an offer of employment from
         Purchaser if such offer is tendered on a basis no less favorable than
         that upon which such employee is currently employed by the Company.
         The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement or
         the subject of any union organization effort, and there are not any
         pending or threatened strikes, labor disputes, slow downs or stoppages
         pending or threatened against the Company.

                 (m)      To the best knowledge of the Company and the Sellers,
         (i) all of the fixed assets (including but not limited to all
         equipment), owned or leased by the Company are in condition to
         sufficiently operate the business, and are fit for their intended use
         in the ordinary course of business, and conform in all respects with
         all applicable ordinances, regulations and other laws and there are no
         known latent defects therein, (ii) all regular maintenance or service
         requirements, and product recalls, have been followed, installed, or
         otherwise implemented on and with respect to the Assets, (iii) all
         inventory of the Company is in good, standard, and merchantable
         condition and is not defective, and (iv) the inventory of the Company
         is properly recorded on the Financial Statements at cost (last
         in-first out) in accordance with GAAP.

                 (n)      To the best knowledge of the Company and Sellers, set
         forth in Schedule 3(n) hereto is a complete and accurate list and
         descriptions of all accounts receivable of the Company's business from
         sales made as of September 30, 1997, and the payments and rights to
         receive payments related thereto.  The Company has good and
         indefeasible title to the accounts receivable it is selling to
         Purchaser, free and clear of any security interests, liens,
         encumbrances, or other charges; to the best knowledge of the Company
         and the Sellers, none of such accounts receivable are subject to any
         offsets or claims of offsets; and to the best knowledge of the Company
         and the Sellers, none of the obligors of the accounts receivable have
         given notice that they will or may refuse to pay the full amount
         thereof or any portion thereof.

                 (o)      None of the Company or either Seller knows or has any
         reason to believe, or has received notice or information, that any
         major supplier or major customer of the Company or any other party
         that does business with the Company will cease or refuse to do
         business with Purchaser after the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated hereby in the same manner, and same amount, as previously
         conducted with the Company.  None of the Company or either Seller has
         received any notice of any disruption (including delayed deliveries or
         allocations by suppliers or service providers) in the availability of
         the products used by the Company, nor are any of Company





                                       6
<PAGE>   7
         or either Seller aware of any facts which could lead the Company to
         believe that Purchaser will be subject to any such material
         disruption.  None of the Company or either Seller is aware of any
         condition (financial or otherwise) affecting any major supplier or any
         other party that does business with the Company that will, or could be
         reasonably expected to, now or in the future, reduce each such party's
         ability to do business with Purchaser in substantially the same manner
         and amount that each such party has done business with the Company
         during the period preceding this Agreement.  Set forth in Schedule
         3(o) are complete and accurate lists of the customers that constituted
         5% or more of the revenues of the Company for the twelve-month period
         ended August 31, 1997.

                 (p)      To the best knowledge of the Company and Sellers, all
         information furnished to Purchaser by any of Company or either Seller,
         whether or not herein or in any Exhibit or Schedule hereto, is true,
         correct, and complete.  To the best knowledge of the Company and
         Sellers, such information states all material facts required to be
         stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
         of the circumstances under which such statements are made, true,
         correct and complete in all material respects.  The Company and the
         Sellers have made due inquiry and investigation concerning the matters
         to which representations and warranties made by them under this
         Agreement pertain and the Company and the Sellers are unaware of any
         facts, events or circumstances which have not been disclosed to
         Purchaser which are material to the financial condition, results of
         operations, business or prospects of Company.

The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Sellers
set forth in this Agreement shall survive execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Closing.

         4.      Closing.  The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby
(the "Closing") will take place at 10:00 a.m., local time, on October 15, 1997
at the offices of the Company (or such other date, time and/or place as may be
mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto).  The day on which the Closing
occurs is herein referred to as the "Closing Date."

         At the Closing, (a) the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a General
Warranty Deed and Bill of Sale in forms satisfactory to Purchaser and such
other documents and instruments as Purchaser shall reasonably request
sufficient to vest title to such Assets in Purchaser, free and clear of all
liens, claims and encumbrances, (b) the Company and Purchaser will execute and
deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to which the Company
would assign all of its right, title and interest in the Assumed Contracts to
Purchaser, and Purchaser would assume the Assumed Liabilities and all
liabilities under the Assumed Contracts that arise after the Closing Date (and
the Purchaser would agree to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from
such Assumed Liabilities and such liabilities under the Assumed Contracts), and
(c) the Company shall provide Purchaser with an owner's title insurance policy
with respect to the Real Property (the cost of which shall be split between the
Company and Purchaser) and such other items reasonably requested by Purchaser
relating to the transfer of the Real Property.

         5.      Covenants.

                 (a)      The Company and the Sellers, jointly and severally,
         covenant and agree that from the date hereof until the Closing, except
         as otherwise permitted or contemplated by this Agreement or with the
         written consent of Purchaser, the Company shall not take any other
         action that would cause or permit the representations and warranties
         of the Company and the Sellers made in this Agreement to be inaccurate
         at the time or Closing or preclude any of the Company and the Sellers
         from making such representations and warranties at and as of the time
         of the Closing.





                                       7
<PAGE>   8

                 (b)      At or promptly after the Closing, the Company shall
         notify (in form satisfactory to Purchaser) all of the obligors of
         accounts receivable that are payable to the Company that such obligors
         should pay such receivables to Purchaser at the address specified by
         Purchaser.  If, nonetheless, the Company receives payments for any
         such receivables, it will promptly endorse the checks to the order of
         Purchaser and promptly deliver such checks to Purchaser.  If, however,
         the Company so receives payment for a receivable at a time in which
         the Purchaser is delinquent in paying a payable that it has assumed
         from the Company and is required to pay (and does not have a valid
         defense or other valid reason not to pay), the Company, upon 14 days'
         written notice to Purchaser, shall have the right to cash such check
         and pay such payable (and to the extent there is money remaining after
         payment of such payable, the Company shall deliver such funds to
         Purchaser).

                 (c)      The Purchaser shall cooperate with the Company's
         efforts in seeking to have the Company and Sellers released from
         liability on the Assumed Liabilities, and the Purchaser agrees to
         provide such information to the payees of such payables as such payees
         shall reasonably request in connection with releasing the Company and
         Sellers from such liability.

         6.      Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Purchaser.  The
obligations of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction on or before the Closing Date of
each of the following conditions:

                 (a)      The Company and the Sellers shall have executed and
         delivered to Purchaser each document and instrument (including the
         title insurance policy) required to be executed and delivered by any
         of them pursuant to this Agreement, and shall have, or shall have
         caused to be, satisfied or complied with and performed in all respects
         all terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement to be complied
         with or performed by any of them on or before the Closing Date.

                 (b)      All of the representations and warranties made by the
         Company and the Sellers in this Agreement shall be true and correct in
         all respects as of the date thereof and at the Closing Date with the
         same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had
         been made at and as of, the Closing Date.

                 (c)      Purchaser shall have completed its due diligence
         investigation of the Company, its businesses and operations, and be
         satisfied, in its sole discretion, with the results thereof.

                 (d)      Counsel to the Company and the Sellers shall have
         delivered to Purchaser a legal opinion dated the Closing Date in form
         reasonably acceptable to Purchaser opining to the matters set forth in
         Exhibit C hereto.

                 (e)      The Company's accounting firm shall have delivered a
         letter dated the Closing Date and addressed to Purchaser stating that
         to its knowledge that there are no pending audits or investigations
         involving the Company and that it has no reason to believe that the
         Financial Statements at and for the year ending December 31, 1996 do
         not fairly present the financial condition and operating results of
         the Company at and for the periods set forth therein.





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
                 (f)      The Company and the Sellers shall have delivered
         evidence of receipt of all required approvals, consents, licenses and
         permits to the transactions contemplated herein in a form acceptable
         to the Purchaser in its sole discretion.

                 (g)      The Company and the Sellers shall have delivered
         estoppel letters from such persons as Purchaser shall request in a
         form acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion.

                 (h)      All amounts due pursuant to the loan agreement
         described on Schedule 6(h) hereto shall be paid in full, all liens
         securing such amounts shall be released, and evidence satisfactory to
         Purchaser of the same shall be delivered to Purchaser.

                 (i)      The Company and the Sellers shall have executed and
         delivered such other documents as are reasonably requested by
         Purchaser to effectuate the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

         If Purchaser's conditions are not satisfied by October 31, 1997,
Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and any obligations
it has hereunder.  If Purchaser's conditions are not satisfied by October 31,
1997 through no fault of the Company, the Company shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement and any obligations it has hereunder.

         7.      Purchase Price Allocation.  The parties hereto hereby agree
that, for all accounting and foreign, federal, state and local tax reporting
purposes, the Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with the relative
fair market values of the Assets and the covenants set forth in Section 9
hereof, as determined by Purchaser, as soon as practicable after the Closing
Date.  Purchaser shall provide to the Company and the Sellers a schedule
setting forth such allocation as soon as practicable after the Closing Date,
and shall thereafter notify the Company and the Sellers of any changes thereto.
Each of the parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees that it will not take a
position on any tax return, before any governmental agency charged with the
collection of any tax, or in any judicial proceeding that is in any way
inconsistent with the terms of this Section 7.

         8.      Confidentiality.  The Company and the Sellers agree to hold in
confidence the terms of this Agreement and, except as required by law, will not
make the same available or known to any third party other than their counsel,
accountants and other agents or representatives acting on their behalf, and
then only to the extent necessary, provided each such person is advised of the
confidential nature of the terms hereof and agrees to hold the same in
confidence.

         9.      Noncompetition and Non-solicitation.

                 (a)      Until three years after the Closing (the
         "Noncompetition Period"), the Company and the Sellers agree that none
         of them nor any of their affiliates will directly or indirectly either
         as an individual, a partner or a joint venturer, or in any other
         capacity, (i) invest (other than investments in publicly-owned
         companies which constitute not more than 1% of the voting securities
         of any such company), or engage in, within any place in the State of
         Texas that is within 100 miles of Houston, Texas (the "Noncompetition
         Area") (x) the business of selling, renting, or servicing any wireless
         communication products or (y) any other business that is competitive
         with that of Purchaser or its affiliates (the items listed under
         clauses (x) and (y) hereto are collectively referred to herein as
         "Competitive Businesses"), or (ii) accept employment with or render
         services to Competitive





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
         Businesses that engage in such Competitive Business within the
         Noncompetition Area as a director, officer, agent, employee,
         consultant, or any other capacity.  For purposes of this Agreement, a
         "business that is competitive with that of Purchaser or its
         affiliates" specifically includes persons, firms, sole
         proprietorships, partnerships, companies, corporations or other
         entities that market products and/or perform services in direct or
         indirect competition with those marketed and/or performed by Purchaser
         or its affiliates within the Noncompetition Area.  The parties agree
         that, if such non-competition agreement is determined by a court of
         competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such agreement should be
         reformed by the court to the extent necessary to be enforceable and to
         give effect to the intent of this Section 9.

                 (b)      Sellers have advised Purchaser that it has certain
         customers through its Louisiana affiliate that, since on or prior to
         January 1, 1996, have purchased two-way radios for offices of such
         customers that may be in the Noncompetition Area .  Schedule 9(b)
         hereto sets forth such customers (sales to such customers are not
         included in the Financial Statements of the Company).  Purchaser
         agrees that if Sellers sell two-way radios to its customers in
         Louisiana that are set forth on Schedule 9(b) hereto, and such
         customers provide such two-way radios to their offices located in the
         Noncompetition Area, such sales shall not be considered to violate the
         provisions set forth in this Section 9.

                 (c)      During the Noncompetition Period, none of the Company
         or either Seller will, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit for any
         purpose, any customer or former customer of the Company, (ii) solicit
         for employment by himself, itself, or anyone else, any employee of the
         Company that Purchaser desires to hire after the Closing, Purchaser or
         their affiliates or any person who was an employee of Purchaser or
         their affiliates within the six-month period immediately preceding
         such solicitation or employment, other than such person whose
         employment was terminated by Purchaser or its affiliates and other
         than Lael Lockhart if Lael Lockhart approaches the Sellers about a
         position in Louisiana; or (iii) induce or attempt to induce, any such
         employee of Purchaser or their affiliates to terminate such employee's
         employment.

                 (d)      The parties hereto acknowledge that the provisions of
         this Section 9 are supported by good and valuable consideration and
         Purchaser's agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated
         hereby are conditioned upon its receipt of the protection provided in
         this Section 9.  The parties hereto further acknowledge that the scope
         and duration of the covenants set forth in this Section 9 are in all
         respects reasonable.

                 (e)      The Company and the Sellers acknowledge and recognize
         that the enforcement of any of the noncompetition provisions in this
         Agreement by Purchaser will not interfere with the ability of any of
         them to pursue a proper livelihood.  Each of the Sellers further
         represents that he is capable of pursuing a career that would not
         violate the noncompetition provisions hereof to earn a proper
         livelihood.  The Company and the Sellers agree that due to the nature
         of such business, the noncompetition restrictions set forth in this
         Agreement are reasonable as to time and geographic area.  At any time
         during the non-compete period, if the Company reasonably suspects that
         the Company or a Seller has violated one or more provisions of this
         Section 9, Purchaser may require the Company and/or the Sellers to
         supply such information as Purchaser may reasonably request to
         ascertain whether or not the Company and/or the Sellers has complied
         with, or have violated, the covenants set forth in this Section 9.
         Any such request for information will be sent to the Company and/or
         the Sellers by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to
         such person's last known





                                       10

         address.  The Company and/or the Sellers shall furnish the requested
         information to Purchaser within 10 days following the receipt of such
         request.

         10.     Expenses.  Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company and the
Sellers, on the other hand, will bear their own costs and expenses of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

         11.     Further Assurances.  At the Closing and after the Closing,
each party hereto shall take all actions and duly execute and deliver or cause
to be executed and delivered all instruments of sale, conveyance, transfer,
assignment or assumption, and all notices, releases, acquittances and other
documents that may be necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement, or more fully to sell, convey, transfer,
assign, and deliver to and vest in Purchaser the Assets sold, conveyed,
transferred, assigned, and delivered pursuant hereto or intended so to be.

         12.     Indemnification.  Each of the Company and the Sellers shall,
jointly and severally, indemnify and hold Purchaser and its affiliates and the
officers, directors, partners, stockholders, employees and agents of Purchaser
and its affiliates harmless from and against any loss, damage, claim, demand,
cause of action, liability, costs or expense (including without limitation
interest, penalties, and attorneys' fees and disbursements) of any kind or
nature whatsoever asserted against or incurred by Purchaser by reason of,
resulting from, or based upon: (a) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or
breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or other agreement made by any of them
herein or in any other agreement executed and delivered by any of them pursuant
to this Agreement, (b) any liability of the Company for failure to file any
federal, state or local income tax return, and any liability or obligation to
pay any federal, state or local taxes, relating to any tax period ending on or
prior to the Closing Date and any liability to pay interest or penalties upon
or with respect to any of the foregoing, (c) any obligation or liability
relating to any period prior to the Closing Date (i) relating to any employee
benefit plan of the Company or (ii) relating to any employee of the Company who
is not retained by the Company or hired by Purchaser after the Closing, (d) any
product liability or breach of warranty claims relating to products sold by the
Company, and all tort or general liability claims arising or relating to
occurrences from any nature relating to the business of the Company, before the
Closing, whether any or such claims or asserted before or after the Closing,
(e) operations of the Company prior to the Closing or conditions in existence
prior to the Closing that give rise to liability (other than Assumed
Liabilities) including, but not limited to, liabilities under any Applicable
Environmental Laws, and (f) any obligation or liability for any finders',
brokers' or agents' fee in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby.  Any claim for indemnification pursuant to any of clauses (a), (b),
(c), (d) or (f) of this Section 12 must be asserted against the Company or the
Sellers pursuant to a lawsuit filed on or before the date that is two years
after the Closing (such filing shall be sufficient to preserve Purchaser's
indemnification rights even if the amount of damages is not known until after
such date).

         13.     Use of Tomba Name.  Purchaser shall be permitted to use the
Tomba and Tomba Communications names in connection with the Assets purchased by
Purchaser for a period of 120 days after the Closing.

         14.     Entire Agreement; Counterparts.  This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous agreements and
understandings, both oral and written, of the parties in connection therewith.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.

         15.     Severability.  The parties hereto intend all provisions of
this Agreement including the provisions set forth in Section 9 hereof to be
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Accordingly, should a court
of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision herein is
too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform
the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and
enforceable.  In addition, however, the Company and the Sellers agree that the
noncompetition agreements, nonemployment agreements and nonsolicitation
agreements set forth above each constitute separate agreements independently
supported by good and adequate consideration and shall be severable from the
other provisions of, and shall survive, this Agreement.  If any provision of
this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or
future laws effective during the term hereof, such provision shall be fully
severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision never comprised a part of this
Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom.  Furthermore, in lieu of
such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added
automatically as part of this Agreement, a provision as similar in its terms to
such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be
legal, valid and enforceable.

         16.     Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only by
a written instrument signed by all the parties hereto.

         17.     Governing Law; Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to
the conflicts of laws principles thereof.  Venue for any disputes regarding
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the liabilities or
obligations imposed hereunder shall be in federal or state court in Harris
County, Texas.

         18.     Notices.  Any notices, consents, demands, requests, approvals
and other communications to be given under this Agreement by any party to
another shall be deemed to have been duly given if given in writing and
personally delivered or sent by mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid
with return receipt requested, as follows:

                                   ARTICLE 2

            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND SHAREHOLDER

         Seller and Shareholder, jointly and severally, represent and warrant
to BearCom and Newco as of the date of this Agreement that:

         SECTION 2.1      CORPORATE EXISTENCE AND POWER; OWNERSHIP.  Seller is
a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has all requisite corporate
power and authority required to carry on its business and to own and lease the
properties it owns and leases.  Seller is duly qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the
character of the property owned or leased by it or the nature of its activities
makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the
failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on its Assets, financial condition, prospects or the
results of operations.  Shareholders are the sole record and beneficial owners
of all of the outstanding capital stock of Seller, free and clear of all Liens,
and have been the sole owners since Seller was formed.  Except as identified on
Schedule 2.1, Seller does not have any direct or indirect ownership or other
equity or profit sharing interest in any other entity related to the Business
of Seller.

         SECTION 2.2      AUTHORITY RELATIVE TO THIS AGREEMENT.  Seller and
Shareholder have full power, capacity and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (the "Contemplated
Transactions").  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions to which Seller or Shareholder is
a party have been duly and validly authorized by Seller and Shareholder and no
other proceedings on the part of Seller or Shareholder are necessary to
authorize the execution and delivery by Seller and Shareholder of this
Agreement or the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions to which Seller
or Shareholder is a party.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
to which Seller or Shareholder is a party have been duly and validly executed
and delivered by Seller or Shareholder, as applicable, and (assuming the valid
execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto) constitute the
legal, valid and binding agreements of Seller or Shareholder, as the case may
be, enforceable against such party in accordance with their respective terms.

         SECTION 2.3      NO CONFLICTS, CONSENTS.  Neither the execution,
delivery nor performance by Seller or Shareholder of this Agreement nor the
other Transaction Documents to which it or he is a party nor the consummation
of the Contemplated Transactions, will (i) violate any provision of the
Articles of Incorporation or By-laws (or comparable instruments) of Seller;
(ii) require Seller or Shareholder to obtain any consent, approval or action of
or waiver from, or make any filing with, or give any notice to, any
Governmental Body or any other person except as set forth on Schedule 2.3 (the
"Required Consents"); (iii) if the Required Consents are obtained prior to
Closing, violate, conflict with or result in a breach or default under (after
the giving of notice or the passage of time or both), or permit the termination
of, any Contract of a type required to be listed on Schedule 2.11 to which
Seller or Shareholder is a party, or result in the creation of any Lien upon
any of the Assets or the Shareholder's Property pursuant to the terms of any
such Contract; or (iv) if the Required Consents are obtained prior to Closing,
violate any Law or Order of any Governmental Body against, or binding upon,
Seller or upon its Assets or Shareholder's Property.

<PAGE>   10
         SECTION 2.4      CHARTER DOCUMENTS AND CORPORATE RECORDS.  Seller has
heretofore delivered to BearCom true and complete copies of the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws, or comparable instruments, of Seller as in effect on
the date hereof.

         SECTION 2.5      TITLE.  Except as set forth on Schedule 2.5, Seller
has good and valid record and marketable title to, and has the full right to
sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to Purchaser, all of the Assets free
and clear of any Liens of any kind or nature, and there are no filings in any
registry of deeds in any jurisdiction or under any Uniform Commercial Code or
any similar statute in any jurisdiction showing Seller as debtor, which create
or perfect or which purport to create or perfect any Lien on any of the Assets.
The Assets are all of the assets that are necessary for Purchaser to operate
the Business of Seller in the manner Seller has been operating it.

         SECTION 2.6      FINANCIAL INFORMATION.  Seller has previously
furnished to BearCom true and complete copies of (i) Seller's audited financial
statement at and for the calendar years ended December 31, 1996 (the "1996
Financial Statement") and Seller's unaudited financial statement at and for the
calendar year ended December 31, 1995 (the "1995 Financial Statement")
(collectively the "Annual Statements"), (ii) Seller's unaudited financial
statements at and for each calendar month during 1997 and through December 31,
1997 (the "Interim Statements"), and (iii) all management letters and attorney
audit response letters issued in connection with Seller's financial statements
for each of the periods comprising the Annual Statements and Interim
Statements.  The Annual Statements and Interim Statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied as set forth in the notes thereto
(except, with respect to the 1995 Financial Statement and the Interim
Statements, as regards footnote disclosure and normal year end adjustments) and
the 1996 Financial Statement was audited by Seller's regularly engaged
certified public accountants.  Each Annual Statement and Interim Statement
presents fairly the financial position of Seller as of its date, and its
earnings, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flow for the periods then
ended.  Each delivered balance sheet included within the Annual Statements and
the Interim Statements fully sets forth all Assets and Liabilities of Seller
existing as of its date which, under GAAP, should be set forth therein, and
each delivered statement of earnings included within the Annual Statements and
the Interim Statements sets forth the items of income and expense of Seller
which should appear therein under GAAP.  All financial and accounting books,
ledgers, accounts and official and other records relating to Seller have been
properly and accurately kept and completed in all material respects.  All
allowances and reserves shown in the Annual Statements and the Interim
Statements are appropriate, reasonable and sufficient to provide for expenses
and losses thereby contemplated including the reserve for all Taxes payable.
Seller is not liable upon or with respect to, or obligated to provide funds in
respect of or under any guarantee.  Except as identified on Schedule 2.6,
Seller does not know of any basis for the assertion of any other Claims or
Liabilities of any nature or in any amount which could have a MATERIAL ADVERSE
EFFECT on Seller, the Assets or Business.  There were not any material items of
revenue or expense which were unusual or of a nonrecurring nature reflected in
the Annual Statements or the Interim Statements.

         SECTION 2.7      LIABILITIES.  Except as and to the extent reflected

unaudited financial statements, documents or certificates furnished or to be
furnished to Seller by or on behalf of BearCom or Newco pursuant to this
Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading,
the result of which would adversely affect Newco's and BearCom's ability to

of BearCom and Newco nor any knowledge of facts determined or determinable by

                                INDEMNIFICATION

         SECTION 7.1      SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                 (a)      Notwithstanding any right of BearCom or Newco fully
to investigate the affairs of Seller and notwithstanding any knowledge of facts
determined or determinable by BearCom or Newco pursuant to such investigation
or right of investigation, BearCom and Newco have the right to rely fully upon
the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller contained
in this Agreement, or listed or disclosed on any Schedule hereto, as the same
may be modified by any certificate delivered by Seller on or before Closing and
approved by BearCom or Newco, or in any instrument delivered in connection with
or pursuant to any of the foregoing.  All such representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Closing hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement, on any
Schedule hereto or in any instrument delivered in connection with or pursuant
to this Agreement, and the indemnification obligations of Seller in respect of
the matters specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.2, shall terminate
and expire at the end of the twenty-four (24) month period specified in Section
1.6 hereof; provided, however, that the liability of Seller shall not terminate
as to any specific claim or claims of the type referred to in Section 7.2
hereof, whether or not fixed as to liability or liquidated as to amount, with
respect to which Seller has been given specific notice on or prior to the date
on which such liabilities would otherwise terminate pursuant to the terms of
this Section 7.1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that its
obligation to indemnify Purchaser with respect to any Retained Liabilities
shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any applicable statute of
limitations with respect thereto, and such obligation shall not be affected by
the expiration of any representation and warranty of Seller under this Section
7.1(a).

                 (b)      Notwithstanding any right of Seller and Shareholder
fully to investigate the affairs of BearCom and Newco and notwithstanding any
knowledge of facts determined or determinable by Seller or Shareholder pursuant
to such investigation or right of investigation, Seller and Shareholder have
the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements of BearCom and Newco contained in this Agreement, or listed or
disclosed on any Schedule hereto, as the same may be modified by any
certificate delivered by BearCom, Newco, or either of them on or before Closing
and approved by Seller and Shareholder, or in any instrument delivered in
connection with or pursuant to any of the foregoing.  All such representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the Closing hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
all representations and warranties of BearCom and Newco contained in this
Agreement, on any Schedule hereto or in any instrument delivered in connection
with or pursuant to this Agreement, and the indemnification obligations of
BearCom and Newco in respect of the matters specified in clauses (i) and (ii)
of Section 7.3 (other than the obligations of Purchaser to pay all or any
portion of the Asset Purchase Price and Shareholder's Purchase Price
(including, without limitation, post-Closing adjustments thereto) becoming due
at or after Closing, and the covenants and agreements of Purchaser contained in
Section 1.8 hereof), shall terminate and expire at the end of the twenty-four
month period specified in Section 1.6 hereof; provided, however, that the
liability of BearCom and Newco shall not terminate as to any specific claim or
claims of the type referred to in Section 7.3 hereof, whether or not fixed as
to liability or





                                     - 18 -

liquidated as to amount, with respect to which BearCom or Purchaser has been
given specific notice on or prior to the date on which such liabilities would
otherwise terminate pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.1.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, BearCom and Newco acknowledge that the obligation of BearCom and
Newco to indemnify Seller with respect to any Assumed Liabilities and the
breach or default by Purchaser of its obligations to pay all or any portion of
the Asset Purchase Price or the Shareholder's Purchase Price,  (including,
without limitation, post-Closing adjustments thereto) becoming due at or after
Closing, and the covenants and agreements of Purchaser contained in Section 1.8
hereof, shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any applicable
statute of limitations with respect thereto, and such obligation shall not be
affected by the expiration of any representation and warranty of BearCom or
Newco under this Section 7.1(b).

         SECTION 7.2      OBLIGATION OF SELLER TO INDEMNIFY.  Subject to the
provisions of Section 7.5, Seller and Shareholder, jointly and severally, agree
to indemnify, defend and hold harmless BearCom and Newco (and their respective
directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, successors and assigns) from and
against any and all Claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies,
judgments, settlements, costs of investigation or other expenses (including
interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and
expenses incurred in enforcing this indemnification) (collectively, "Losses")
suffered or incurred by Newco or any of the foregoing persons arising out of
(i) any breach of the representations and warranties of Seller or Shareholder
contained in this Agreement or in the Schedules or any Transaction Document,
(ii) any breach of the covenants and agreements of Seller contained in this
Agreement or in the Schedules or any Transaction Document, (iii) any Retained
Liabilities, (iv) any Liability of Seller for failure to file any federal,
state, local or foreign Tax Return and any Liability for any Taxes relating to
any tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (v) any Liability under
ERISA for any period prior to the Closing relating to any employee of Seller
who is not hired by Purchaser after the Closing, (vi) any Environmental
Liabilities, and (vii) any other actions or omissions of Seller prior to

Liabilities, or (viii) any Liability to Purchaser in connection with any Claim
by Charles Devito arising prior to Closing.

         SECTION 7.3      OBLIGATION OF BEARCOM AND NEWCO TO INDEMNIFY.
BearCom and Newco, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Seller and Shareholder (and their respective directors, officers,
employees, Affiliates, successors and assigns) from and against any and all
Losses suffered or incurred by Seller, Shareholder or any of the foregoing
persons arising out of (i) any breach of the representations and warranties of
BearCom or Newco contained in this Agreement or in the Schedules or any
Transaction Document, (ii) any breach of the covenants and agreements of
BearCom or Newco contained in this Agreement or in the Schedules or any
Transaction Document, (iii) any Assumed Liabilities, and (iv) the operations of
Newco from and after the Closing Date.

         SECTION 7.4      NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

                 (a)      Promptly after receipt by any party hereto (the
"Indemnitee") of notice of any demand, claim, circumstance or Tax Audit which
would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement (or threatened
commencement) of any action, proceeding or investigation (an "Asserted
Liability") that may result in a Loss, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice
thereof (the "Claims Notice") to the party or parties obligated to provide
indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 (collectively, the "Indemnifying
Party").  The Claims Notice shall describe the Asserted Liability in reasonable
detail and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary, and to the
extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the
Indemnitee.

                 (b)      Newco may elect to defend, at its own expense and
with its own counsel, any Asserted Liability against Seller or Shareholder
arising out of an Assumed Liability.  If Newco elects to defend such





                                     - 19 -
<PAGE>   24
Asserted Liability, it shall within thirty (30) days (or sooner, if the nature
of the Asserted Liability so requires) notify the Seller of its intent to do
so.  If Newco elects not to defend such Asserted Liability or fails to notify
Seller or Shareholder, as the case may be, of its election as herein provided,
Seller or Shareholder as the case may be, may pay, compromise or defend such
Asserted Liability at the sole cost and expense of Newco.  In all other
circumstances, each party shall be entitled to control any Asserted Liability
against it.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor
the Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim over the reasonable written
objection of the other.  For purposes of this paragraph (b), any such objection
made when such settlement would be in accordance with sound business practices
shall be deemed unreasonable.  Provided further, that if any Indemnitee shall
fail to consent to the monetary terms of any proposed settlement or compromise
of any Asserted Liability, the Indemnifying Party shall not thereafter be
obligated to pay the Indemnitee in respect of such Asserted Liability under
this Article 7 in excess of the amount it would have been required to pay to
the Indemnitee in connection with such proposed settlement or compromise.  Any
Losses of any Indemnitee for which indemnification is available hereunder shall
be paid within thirty (30) days following written demand therefor.

         SECTION 7.5      LIMITS ON INDEMNIFICATION.  Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, BearCom's and Newco's remedies
with respect to Losses, and the liability of Seller and Shareholder, as the
case may be, for indemnification arising out of all Losses incurred by
Purchaser shall not exceed, and shall be limited to an amount equal to the
Purchase Price, including the purchase price for the Related Transactions, and
the sums hereafter becoming due to Seller under clauses 1.6(a) and (b) of this
Agreement.

         SECTION 7.6      SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.  The parties agree that
the indemnification provisions of Section 7 shall constitute the sole and
exclusive remedies of the parties in respect to this Agreement and all of the
Contemplated Transactions, other than fraud.

         SECTION 7.7      RIGHT OF OFFSET.  Purchaser may, at its option, apply
or otherwise offset any and all Losses to which it shall be entitled to be
indemnified by Seller and/or Shareholder pursuant to this Article 7 and/or
Section 9.10(b), against payments due to Seller pursuant to this Agreement or
to Shareholder or Condor, Ltd., pursuant to the Related Transactions.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 9.1      EXPENSES.  Except as otherwise specifically provided

legal, auditing, accounting, consulting, brokerage, regulatory and other
expenses, BearCom will bear the expenses of Newco, and Shareholder will bear
the expenses of Seller, in each case, incurred in connection with the
preparation, due diligence, negotiation, execution and performance of this
Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.  Notwithstanding the 





                                     - 20 -
<PAGE>   25
foregoing provisions of this Section, all expenses incurred by Seller prior to
the Closing, including but not limited to, legal, auditing, accounting,
consulting, regulatory and other expenses, incurred in the ordinary course of
business, including but not limited to the preparation of Seller's financial
statement at and for the calendar year ended December 31, 1997, shall not be
borne by Shareholder, but shall be borne by Seller, as expenses incurred in the
ordinary course of business.  If any party hereto shall bring an action at law
or in equity to enforce its rights under this Agreement (including an action
based upon a misrepresentation or the breach of any warranty, covenant,
agreement or obligation contained herein), the prevailing party in such action
shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in connection with such action (including fees, disbursements
and expenses of attorneys and costs of investigation).  Seller shall be liable
for and shall pay any transfer tax, sales tax and other similar taxes resulting
from consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.  Purchaser shall pay for the
cost of title policy premiums, premiums on customary endorsements and new
surveys for each of Seller's Property and Shareholder's Property.
