7,335 are installed telephones, for a purchase price consisting of: (i)
$7,000,000 in cash; (ii) 2,162,163 shares of the Company's Common Stock, valued
at the average of the BID and ASK (as reported by The NASDAQ Stock Market
("NASDAQ") on September 13, 1996, less an unregistered and block discount and
for the effects of net dilution of 20% as determined by Key Trust Company of
Ohio,  N.A. ("Key Trust")) $4,637,840, or $2.15 per share; and (iii)
approximately  $675,122 in related acquisition expenses; and

On September 16, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of Payphones of
America, Inc. ("POA"), pursuant to which the Company acquired approximately
3,115 installed pay telephones for a purchase price, consisting of: (i)
$500,000 in cash; (ii) 166,666 unregistered shares of the Company's Common

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF 
AMTEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Amtel
Communications, Inc., and combined Companies (Note B) as of June 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, and the related combined statements of operations,
stockholder's deficit, and cash flows for the periods then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Amtel Communications, Inc., and
combined Companies (Note B) as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note A, on August
3, 1995, the Company filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of
Title II of the United States Bankruptcy Code and was authorized to continue
managing and operating the business as a debtor in possession subject to the
control and supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. Those conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

                   AMTEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND COMPANIES
                             (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.        REORGANIZATION AND LEGAL MATTERS:

          Amtel Communications, Inc. and its combined companies (the "Company")
          filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title II of
          the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Code") on August 3, 1995 (the
          "petition date") administratively consolidated under Case No.
          95-08253-A11. The Company is currently operating its business as a
          debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the United States
          Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California. The
          Company's liabilities as of the petition date are generally subject to
          settlement in a plan of reorganization, which must be voted on by
          certain of its creditors and confirmed by the Court. Until a
          reorganization plan has been confirmed, the Company is prevented from
          making payments on pre-petition debt unless permitted by the Code or
          approved by the Court. Certain contracts existing at the petition date
          have been rejected or assumed with the approval of the Court. The
          Company continues to review all other unexpired pre-petition executory
          contracts to determine whether they should be assumed or rejected.
          Parties affected by the rejection of contracts and leases may file
          claims against the Company.

          The combined financial statements have been prepared assuming the
          Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
          continuity of operations and the realization of assets and the
          satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
          Chapter 11 filings, the Company's leveraged financial structure, and
          recurring net losses resulting in a deficit in stockholder's equity,
          raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
          concern. A plan of reorganization may materially change the amounts
          reported in the consolidated financial statements (which do not give
          effect to adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities
          which may be necessary as a consequence of a plan of reorganization).
          The continuation of the Company's business as a going concern is
          contingent upon, among other things, the ability to (1) formulate a
          plan of reorganization that will be confirmed by the Court, (2)
          achieve satisfactory levels of future profitable operations, (3)
          maintain adequate financing, and (4) provide sufficient cash from
          operations to meet future obligations.

          The Company has commenced actions against various parties relating to
          the management of the Company. These actions seek to avoid or
          subordinate certain obligations incurred by the Company and to recover
          certain payments made by or on behalf of the Company in connection
          with its operations. The Company has also filed actions against
          several entities seeking avoidance and recovery of certain transfers
          of interests of the Company in property alleged to be preferences
          under section 547(b) of the Code. The ultimate outcome of these
          actions and the potential recoveries, if any, resulting from the
          resolution of these actions is unknown at this time and, accordingly,
          no provision for any amounts has been recorded in these combined
          financial statements.

                             (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (CONTINUED)

B.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         BASIS OF COMBINATION

         The combined financial statements include the accounts of Amtel
         Communications, Inc., Amtel Communications Payphones, Inc., Amtel
         Communications Services, Inc., Amtel Communications Correctional
         Facilities, Inc. and ACI-HDT Supply Company. The five entities are all
         owned 100% by the same individual. Collectively, the five entities will
         be referred to as "the Company". Material intercompany transactions and
         balances have been eliminated.

         CASH

         For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
         highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
         months or less and money market funds to be cash equivalents.

         INVENTORY

         Inventory consists primarily of pay telephones, pedestals, and
         enclosures to be installed in the Company's business locations.
         Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.

         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on the
         straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 3-5 years.

         DEFERRED SITE COSTS

         Deferred site costs consist of pay telephones and related components
         and installation costs necessary to make the pay phone ready for
         operation. Costs are being amortized on the straight-line method over
         estimated useful lives of 8 years.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Revenue is recognized when it is earned with the exception of coin
         revenue, which is recognized when it is collected.

                    AMTEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND COMPANIES
                             (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (CONTINUED)

B.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

         INCOME TAXES

         The Company provides for federal and state income taxes currently
         payable as well as for those deferred because of timing differences
         between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes
         and income and expenses for tax purposes.

         The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income
         Taxes".

         ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
         statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based
         on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may
         undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual
         results.

C.       FIXED ASSETS:

         Included in fixed assets are property and equipment (furniture,
         fixtures, and computers) and deferred site costs (pay phones, housing
         and installation costs) both of which are carried at cost.

         Property and equipment and deferred site costs are summarized as
         follows:

D.       PRE-PETITION LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE UNDER REORGANIZATION 
         PROCEEDINGS:

         Pre-petition liabilities consist of secured and unsecured debt, all of
         which are subject to compromise under the proposed plan of
         reorganization. Certain inventory was returned to the parties claiming
         a secured interest in the asset at or around the petition filing date.
         The claimed secured claims are classified as subject to compromise as
         the value of the collateral is less than the corresponding obligation.

         Pre-petition liabilities at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 are as
         follows:

         Lessor liability consists of funds borrowed from independent third
         parties, under which the Company agreed to sell, lease-back, install
         and maintain, a pay telephone for an initial investment of $3,000 -
         $3,600 per pay telephone. The Company agreed to pay $51 per month per
         phone, for a five year period and then return the initial investment to
         the investors. Investors had the right to have their investment
         returned at any time within the five year period for a nominal
         surrender fee. These transactions have been accounted for as financing
         transactions and payments made by the Company have been recorded as
         interest expense in the statement of operations.

         Payments to investors for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the
         year ended December 31, 1995 were approximately $0 and $6,762,000,
         respectively.

         As of the petition date, in accordance with current accounting
         pronouncements, the Company discontinued accruing interest on its
         pre-petition debt obligations. If such interest had continued to be
         accrued, interest expense for the first six months of 1996 and the last
         five months of 1995 would have been $457,628 and $379,351,
         respectively. Interest expense associated with the lessor liability is
         not reflected in these accruals as the obligations are not represented
         by formal notes.

                    AMTEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND COMPANIES
                             (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (CONTINUED)

D.       PRE-PETITION LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE UNDER REORGANIZATION 
         PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED):

         In conjunction with the Chapter 11 case, there are differences between
         claims filed by potential creditors and amounts recorded by the
         Company. These differences will be resolved by negotiated agreement
         between the Company and the claimant or by the Court. Additional claims
         may arise in conjunction with the termination of contractual
         obligations related to executory contracts and leases. As a result,
         recorded amounts may be adjusted but the Company believes that any such
         adjustments will not be material.

E.       REORGANIZATION ITEMS:

         Reorganization items represent expenses resulting from the
         reorganization and restructuring of the business. Since these expenses
         do not relate to the Company's normal operations they are reported
         separately on the statement of operations.

F.       INCOME TAXES:

         As discussed in Note B, the Company adopted SFAS 109, "Accounting for
         Income Taxes". SFAS 109 requires the use of the balance sheet method of
         accounting for income taxes. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or
         liability represents the tax effect of temporary differences between
         financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and is
         measured using the latest enacted tax rates.

         The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1996
         and the year ended December 31, 1995 is as follows:

</TABLE>

          The Company realized substantial net operating losses for the six
          months ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 as
          well as in prior periods. Calculation of the temporary differences
          between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities is
          complicated by the fact the Company has not filed tax returns since
          1993. A valuation reserve has been established equal to the potential
          tax benefit that could result from the use of the net operating losses
          for these periods since there is reasonable doubt the Company can
          generate income to utilize these losses.

G.        COMMITMENTS:

          The Company leases building space for its six branches, including
          warehouse facilities in Seattle, Washington; Denver, Colorado;
          Portland, Oregon; Hayward, California; Los Angeles, California; and
          its corporate headquarters in San Diego, California. The leases have
          expiration dates ranging from September, 1996 to October, 1998. The
          agreements call for a cumulative annual base rent of $246,336.

          Net future minimum rental payments required under this lease as of
          June 30, 1996 are as follows:

</TABLE>

          Total rent expense charged to operations for the six months ended June
          30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 was $204,227 and
          $544,193, respectively.

H.        PROPOSED PLAN OF REORGANIZATION:

          During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company evaluated its
          long-term market strategies with the goal of reducing expenses and
          improving overall operating results. As a result, the Company entered
          into an asset purchase agreement with PhoneTel Technologies, Inc. (an
          Ohio Corporation) ("PhoneTel") dated June 26, 1996 wherein the Company
          will sell substantially all of its pay phone operating assets for cash
          and stock of PhoneTel totaling $13,000,000 ($7,000,000 cash and
          $6,000,000 PhoneTel stock). In July, 1996 PhoneTel made a non
          refundable deposit of $1,300,000 to open escrow for the purchase of
          these assets.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF AMTEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC:

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and direct
operating expenses of Amtel Communications, Inc., and combined Companies (Note
B) for the three months ended December 31, 1994. This combined statement of
revenues and direct operating expenses is the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of
revenues and direct operating expenses 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 combined statement of revenues and direct operating
expenses are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined
statement of revenues and direct operating expenses. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined
statement of revenues and direct operating expenses. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statement was prepared to present the revenues and direct
operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1994, pursuant to the
Securities and Exchange Commission's communication dated July 25, 1996 described
in Note C, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company's
operations.

In our opinion, the combined statement of revenues and direct operating expenses
referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and
direct operating expenses of Amtel Communications, Inc., and combined Companies
(Note B) for the three months ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying combined statement of revenues and direct operating expenses
has been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As
described in Note A, on August 3, 1995, the Company filed voluntary petitions
for relief under Chapter 11 of Title II of the United States Bankruptcy Code and
was authorized to continue managing and operating the business as a debtor in
possession subject to the control and supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. Those
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The combined statement of revenues and direct operating expenses
does not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

                    AMTEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND COMPANIES
                             (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)
      NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

A.       REORGANIZATION AND LEGAL MATTERS:

         Amtel Communications, Inc. and its combined companies (the "Company")
         filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title II of
         the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Code") on August 3, 1995 (the
         "petition date") administratively consolidated under Case No.
         95-08253-A11. The Company is currently operating its business as a
         debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the United States
         Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California. The Company's
         liabilities as of the petition date are generally subject to settlement
         in a plan of reorganization, which must be voted on by certain of its
         creditors and confirmed by the Court. Until a reorganization plan has
         been confirmed, the Company is prevented from making payments on
         pre-petition debt unless permitted by the Code or approved by the
         Court. Certain contracts existing at the petition date have been
         rejected or assumed with the approval of the Court. The Company
         continues to review all other unexpired pre-petition executory
         contracts to determine whether they should be assumed or rejected.
         Parties affected by the rejection of contracts and leases may file
         claims against the Company.

         The combined statement of revenues and direct operating expenses has
         been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern,
         which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization of
         assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
         business. The Chapter 11 filings, the Company's leveraged financial
         structure, and recurring net losses resulting in a deficit in
         stockholder's equity, raise substantial doubt about its ability to
         continue as a going concern. A plan of reorganization may materially
         change the amounts reported in the combined statement of revenues and
         direct operating expenses (which do not give effect to adjustments to
         the carrying values of assets and liabilities which may be necessary as
         a consequence of a plan of reorganization). The continuation of the
         Company's business as a going concern is contingent upon, among other
         things, the ability to (1) formulate a plan of reorganization that will
         be confirmed by the Court, (2) achieve satisfactory levels of future
         profitable operations, (3) maintain adequate financing, and (4) provide
         sufficient cash from operations to meet future obligations.

         The Company has commenced actions against various parties relating to
         the management of the Company. These actions seek to avoid or
         subordinate certain obligations incurred by the Company and to recover
         certain payments made by or on behalf of the Company in connection with
         its operations. The Company has also filed actions against several
         entities seeking avoidance and recovery of certain transfers of
         interests of the Company in property alleged to be preferences under
         section 547(b) of the Code. The ultimate outcome of this actions and
         the potential recoveries, if any, resulting from the resolution of
         these actions is unknown at this time and, accordingly, no provision
         for any amounts has been recorded in this combined statement of
         revenues and direct operating expenses.

B.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         BASIS OF COMBINATION

         The combined statement of revenues and direct operating expenses
         includes the accounts of Amtel Communications, Inc., Amtel
         Communications Payphones, Inc., Amtel Communications Services, Inc.,
         Amtel Communications Correctional Facilities, Inc. and ACI-HDT Supply
         Company. The five entities are all owned 100% by the same individual.
         Collectively, the five entities will be referred to as "the Company".
         Material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Revenue is recognized when it is earned with the exception of coin
         revenue, which is recognized when it is collected.

         ESTIMATES

         The preparation of a combined statement of revenues and direct
         operating expenses in conformity with generally accepted accounting
         principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
         affect the amounts reported in the combined statement of revenues and
         direct operating expenses and accompanying notes. Although these
         estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and
         actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from
         actual results.

C.       INCOMPLETE PRESENTATION:

         By letter dated July 25, 1996 to PhoneTel Technologies, Inc., the
         Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) granted a waiver of Item
         310(c) of Regulation S-B which requires submission of two years of
         audited statements of operations. Instead, the SEC has accepted audited
         statements of operations for a twenty-one month period. This combined
         statement of revenues and direct operating expenses together with the
         combined statement of operations from the audited financial statements
         for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December
         31, 1995 comprise the twenty-one month period.

D.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT - PROPOSED PLAN OF REORGANIZATION:

         In 1996, the Company evaluated its long-term market strategies with the
         goal of reducing expenses and improving overall operating results. As a
         result, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with
         PhoneTel Technologies, Inc. (an Ohio Corporation) ("PhoneTel") dated
         June 26, 1996 wherein the Company will sell substantially all of its
         pay phone operating assets for cash and stock of PhoneTel totaling
         $13,000,000 ($7,000,000 cash and $6,000,000 PhoneTel stock). In July,
         1996 PhoneTel made a non refundable deposit of $1,300,000 to open
         escrow for the purchase of these assets.

                          Independent Auditors' Report
                          ----------------------------



Board of Directors
Payphones of America, Inc.



         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Payphones of America, Inc. (a Tennessee corporation) and subsidiary as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then
ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements 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 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Payphones of America, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows
for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As described in
Note B, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has
limited liquidity which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note B.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          December 31, 1995 and 1994


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   A summary of significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
   preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

   1.     The Company
          -----------

   Payphones of America, Inc. operates, services and maintains a system of
   approximately 2,800 pay telephones in the Southeastern and Midwestern United
   States.

   2.     Principles of Consolidation
          ---------------------------

   The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company
   and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  Intercompany transactions and balances
   have been eliminated in consolidation.

   3.     Accounts Receivable
          -------------------

   The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible;
   accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required.  If amounts
   become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that
   determination is made.

   4.     Property and Equipment
          ----------------------

   Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation and amortization
   are provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable
   assets to operations over their estimated service lives.  Leased property
   under capital leases is amortized over the service lives of the assets for
   those leases which substantially transfer ownership.  The straight-line
   method of depreciation is followed for substantially all assets for
   financial reporting purposes, but accelerated methods are used for tax
   purposes.  Future income taxes resulting from depreciation temporary
   differences have been provided for.

   5.     Intangible Assets
          -----------------

   Site location contracts are exclusive rights to operate pay telephones at
   various locations acquired through business combinations and are stated at
   cost.  Amortization of site contract costs is recorded using the
   straight-line method over five years, the expected average lives of the
   contracts.

   The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value of
   the net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions.  Goodwill is
   amortized on a straight-line method over 40 years.  The covenants not to
   compete are being amortized over their contractual lives of five years.
   Other intangible assets, including license agreements and deferred financing
   costs, are amortized over the life of the agreements.

                          December 31, 1995 and 1994


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

   6.     Recognition of Revenue
          ----------------------

   Revenues from coin calls and non-coin calls are recognized as calls are
   made.  When revenue on a telephone call is recorded, an expense is also
   recorded for fees associated with the call.  

   7.     Concentrations of Credit Risk
          -----------------------------

   Revenues have a significant concentration of credit risk in the
   telecommunications industry.  In addition, a significant amount of 1995
   revenues were generated by the Company's pay telephones located in the
   states of Missouri (36%) and Virginia (33%).  No other area has a
   disproportionate credit risk.

   8.     Use of Estimates
          ----------------

   In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
   assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
   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.


NOTE B - GOING CONCERN

   The Company has experienced recurring losses and has accumulated losses
   since inception of $1,324,816.  As of December 31, 1995, the Company's
   current liabilities exceed its current assets by $2,196,559.  These factors
   raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The
   Company's continued existence as a going concern is dependent upon its
   ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely
   basis, to comply with the terms of its debt and lease obligations and to
   obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required.
   Historically, the Company has generated sufficient cash flow to meet its
   obligations and to pay its debt and lease obligations, and, although it
   cannot be assured that the Company will be able to continue as a going
   concern in view of its present financial condition, management believes that
   continued strategic business acquisitions and improvements in planning and
   budgeting should enable the Company to meet its obligations and sustain its
   operations.

NOTE C - NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK

   Note payable to bank is comprised of a $245,000 revolving line of credit
   agreement with Mark Twain Bank.  Interest is payable monthly at 1.50% over
   the bank's corporate base rate (8.50% at December 31, 1995).  The line of
   credit is secured by certain equipment of the Company and other accounts
   receivable and matures on February 10, 1996.

NOTE E - INCOME TAXES

   The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting For Income Taxes" (SFAS).
   Under the liability method specified by SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and
   liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial
   statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted
   tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse.  Deferred
   tax income and expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and
   liabilities.  The principal types of differences between assets and
   liabilities for financial statement and tax return purposes are accumulated
   depreciation and accumulated amortization.

   In connection with the asset purchase, the Company entered into a purchase
   commitment with the seller for services of $500,000.  In 1995, the commitment
   decreased to approximately $192,000 based on actual revenues generated by the
   assets acquired.  The Company's annual obligation under this agreement is
   $32,000 through 2001.

                          December 31, 1995 and 1994


NOTE L - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

   On February 7, 1996, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was signed into law.
   The Act recognizes that independent public payphone providers are entitled to
   fair rules to compete with the Regional Bell Operating Companies and other
   local exchange companies.  For instance, the Act prohibits Bell operating
   companies from subsidizing payphone service directly or indirectly with
   revenues generated from their exchange or access services.  Bell companies
   are also prohibited from discriminating in favor of their payphone services.
   The legislation directs the Federal Communications Commission to develop fair
   rules in implementing the payphone provision within nine months.  The
   potential impact of this Act on the financial position of the Company is
   unknown at this time.


NOTE M - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, trade
   receivables, trade payables and debt instruments.  The book values of cash
   and trade payables are representative of their fair values due to the
   short-term maturity of these instruments.  The book value of the Company's
   debt instruments is considered to approximate their fair value at December
   31, 1995, based on market rates and conditions.

(4)      PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE ACQUISITIONS COMPLETED ON MARCH 15, 1996

         The following adjustment combines the operations of IPP and Paramount
         for the period from January 1, 1996 through March 14, 1996 and gives
         effect to the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments
         represent the estimated recurring savings resulting from the
         acquisition of IPP and Paramount on March 15, 1996, and the incremental
         depreciation and amortization associated with the acquired tangible and
         intangible assets. The savings are primarily the result of backroom
         efficiencies, including the elimination of certain offices and
         executives and economies of scale in billing and other operating areas.
         Property and equipment is assumed to depreciate over 60 months while
         the intangible assets, consisting primarily of existing phone
         contracts, is being amortized over 60 months, representing the average
         remaining life of all acquired contracts.

         redundant executives, the economies of scale in billing and other
         operating areas, and the elimination of the costs associated with the

          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                 FOOTNOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

(10)     AMTEL'S COST SAVINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

         Represents the estimated reduction in: (i) selling, general, and
         administrative expenses of $11,360,614; (ii) other operating expenses
         of $2,131,584; (iii) line and transmission charges of $1,694,515; (iv)
         commissions expense of $800,000; (v) revenues of $2,859,394; (vi)
         interest expense of $7,429,502; (vii) reorganization expense of
         $539,942; (viii) other expenses of $429,967; resulting from the
         acquisition of Amtel and the incremental increase in depreciation and
         amortization of $1,045,167 associated with the acquired tangible and
         intangibles assets. The savings are primarily due to the elimination of
         employees and expenses resulting from the restructuring plan
         implemented by the trustee on behalf of the bankruptcy court in the
         later part of 1995, the elimination of costs associated with Amtel's
         operations which were not acquired, the closing of certain offices, the
         elimination of the redundant executives, the economies of scale in
         billing and other operating areas, and the elimination of costs
         associated with the bankruptcy of Amtel. The increase in property and
         equipment is assumed to depreciate over 60 months, other assets over 36
         months, while the intangible assets, consisting primarily of existing
         telephone location contracts, is being amortized over 54 months,
         representing the average remaining life of all acquired contracts.

(11)     POA'S COST SAVINGS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

         Represents the estimated reduction in revenues, resulting from the
         acquisition of POA, of $12,053; and the estimated cost savings
         consisting of: (i) other operating expenses, $95,711; (ii) selling,
         general, and administrative expenses, $945,079; (iii) interest expense
         of $135,496; and the incremental depreciation and amortization of
         $1,524,050 associated with the acquired tangible and intangible assets.
         The savings are primarily the result of backroom efficiencies,
         including the elimination of certain offices and executives and
         economies of scale in billing and other operating areas. The increase
         in property and equipment is assumed to depreciate over 60 months while
         the intangible assets, consisting primarily of POA's existing telephone
         location contracts, is being amortized over 72 months, representing the
         average remaining life of all acquired contracts.

(12)     INTEREST ON THE ADDITIONAL DEBT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

         Represents the incremental increase in interest expense of $1,162,892
         resulting from the additional debt, under the Credit Facility, required
         to complete the Amtel and POA acquisitions, pay related expenses and
         other obligations, at an assumed interest rate of 13.25%.

(13)     CONVERSION OF THE 10% PREFERRED

         To eliminate the preferred dividend requirement of $530,534 based on
         the conversion of the 10% Preferred into 884,214 shares of Common Stock
         on June 28, 1996.

                   1.1.4 LIABILITIES ASSUMED OR NOT ASSUMED BY BUYER. In
connection with the purchase of Payphone Operating Assets, whether through this

         1.2      CONSIDERATION

                  1.2.1 GENERAL CONSIDERATION. Upon the terms and subject to
the conditions hereof, in reliance upon the


                                        4


<PAGE>   9



representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Amtel contained herein,
the Buyer will deliver the following consideration (the "Consideration"):

                    (a) Cash in the amount of Seven Million Dollars ($7
                    million); and (b) Shares of the Buyer's Common stock having
                    an "Established Value," as hereinafter defined, of not less
                    than Six Million Dollars ($6 million) (the "Common Stock").
                    No fractional shares shall be delivered in satisfaction of
                    this obligation. Rather, Buyer shall be obligated to deliver
                    the least number of shares of the Common Stock necessary to
                    provide an Established Value of not less than Six Million
                    Dollars; (c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
                    which may be construed to the contrary, Buyer may, in its
                    sole and exclusive discretion, elect to deliver cash in the
                    amount of six million dollars ($6 million) in place of the
                    Common Stock if, but only if, the Established Value of the
                    Common Stock is less than $3.50 per share. Buyer may
                    exercise this option, if at all, by filing with the
                    Bankruptcy Court, and serving upon Amtel, the OCL and the
                    OUCC, a written notice of that


                                        5


<PAGE>   10



                    election not later than the date of the Closing described in
                    paragraph 1.4 below.

                  1.2.2 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION. In addition to the foregoing,
Buyer shall either (a) shall at its expense cause the Common Stock to be
registered in accordance with and pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, and
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as soon as practicable, but in all events
not later than March 31, 1997; or (b) a "no action" letter from the Securities
Exchange Commission reasonably satisfactory to Amtel.

                  1.2.3    The Consideration Described in Paragraph
1.2.1 above shall be paid and delivered to Amtel as follows:

                    (a) UPON EXECUTION. Upon execution of this Agreement Buyer
                    shall deliver to Amtel cash in the amount of one million
                    three hundred thousand dollars ($1,300,000) as its earnest
                    money deposit (the "Non-Refundable Deposit"). The Non-
                    Refundable Deposit shall be deposited into an
                    interest-bearing special client's trust account maintained
                    by Robbins & Keehn, APC at Union Bank (San Diego Main
                    Branch) for the benefit of Amtel and the Buyer from which no
                    withdrawals may be made unless specifically authorized by a
                    written instruction executed by Amtel and Buyer, or an order
                    issued from the Bankruptcy Court. No


                                        6


<PAGE>   11



                    request to withdraw any portion of the NonRefundable Deposit
                    shall be made except as contemplated by paragraph 6.9.4 and
                    without providing Buyer prior written notice and opportunity
                    to be heard with respect to the request. Any interest that
                    shall accrue on the Non-refundable Deposit through the
                    Closing Date as defined herein shall be credited against the
                    cash that the Buyer is obligated to deliver to Amtel at the
                    Closing; provided however, that if, for any reason the
                    Closing actually occurs on a date later than ten (10)
                    business days after the entry of the Enabling Order (i.e.
                    the defined Closing Date), then any such interest shall not
                    be credited against the cash that the Buyer is obligated to
                    deliver to Amtel at the Closing, but shall be retained by
                    Amtel.

                    (b)  AT THE CLOSING. The balance of the Consideration shall
                         be paid and delivered to Amtel at the Closing pursuant
                         to paragraph 1.4 below.

         1.3 CALCULATION OF ESTABLISHED VALUE. As used herein, "Established
Value" shall be determined by calculating the arithmetic average of the closing
price for the Common Stock on the ten business days ending on the fourth
business day preceding the date of the Closing (the "Test Period"). If there is
any day


                                        7


<PAGE>   12



in the Test Period on which there are no trades, the closing price for such day
shall be deemed to be the closing price for the last date preceding such day on
which trading did occur.

         1.4 THE CLOSING. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained
in this Agreement, the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the
execution and delivery of the Bill of Sale (the "Closing") will take place at
the offices of Robbins & Keehn, A Professional Corporation, 530 "B" Street,
Suite 2400, San Diego, California on or prior to 5:00 p.m. of the tenth (10th)
business day following the entry of the "Enabling Order" as hereinafter defined
(the "Closing Date"). The Closing may be continued by the written mutual consent
of Amtel and the Buyer to any date beyond the defined Closing Date which is
mutually acceptable to them.

         1.5 DELIVERIES BY AMTEL. At the Closing, Amtel shall deliver to the
Buyer (unless previously delivered) the following:

                  (a) a certified copy of the Enabling Order;
                  (b) the Bill of Sale;
                  (c) a written acknowledgment of  receipt of the
                  payments provided  pursuant to this Agreement;
                  (d) authenticated resolutions of the Board of Directors
                  of HDT, ACS, ACF, ACI, and ACP approving this Agreement
                  and the form of the Bill of Sale; and

<PAGE>   13



                  (e) A certificate from the general manager of Amtel
                  certifying that all representations and warranties con
                  tained in Article II are true and correct as of the
                  Closing Date;

         1.6 DELIVERIES BY THE BUYER. At the Closing the Buyer shall
deliver (unless previously delivered) the following to Amtel:

                  (a)  Cash in the amount of $7 million less an amount
                  equal to the Non-refundable deposit plus interest that
                  has accrued thereon as of the defined Closing Date;
                  (b) (1) the Common Stock; or alternatively,
                      (2) cash in the amount of $6 million if Buyer makes the 
                      election permitted by paragraph 1.2.1(c).
                  (c) A certificate evidencing the good standing of the
                  Buyer under the laws of the state of Ohio; and,
                  (d) Certified resolutions of the Board of Directors of
                  the Buyer approving this Agreement and the transactions
                  contemplated hereby.

                              --------------------

consented to in writing by the Buyer):


                                       12


<PAGE>   17



                   4.1.1 Amtel shall carry on the Business with reasonable
diligence and substantially in the same manner conducted from and after January
1, 1996 ("Past Practice") and shall not institute any material changes not in
the ordinary course of business or inconsistent with Past Practice, except to
the extent that business or other exigencies compel such changes in order to
preserve, maintain or enhance the value of the Payphone Operating Assets before
such consent can be attained. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Amtel will not, with respect to the Business (I) change the accounting methods,
principles or practices of the Business in any material respect from Past
Practice, (ii) revalue any of the assets of the Business, (iii) sell, lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any assets of the Business other than in the
ordinary course of business and consistent with Past Practice, or (iv) install
any telephones which will become new Amtel Payphones without the prior written
consent of Buyer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

prudent and cost justified (I) to maintain, and preserve the Business; and (ii)
to maintain all of the "Hard Assets" described in paragraph 1.0 of Exhibit A in

<PAGE>   18



                   4.1.3 Amtel shall duly comply with (I) all laws applicable to
the Business and its operations the failure to so comply with would have a
material adverse effect on the Business and (ii) all laws compliance with which
is required for the valid consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

                   4.1.4 Amtel shall not, without Buyer's prior written
approval, enter into, adopt, amend or terminate any employee benefit plan,
increase in any manner the compensation or fringe benefits of any officer or
employee or enter into any contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement to do

Amtel is a plan proponent, and for which the Buyer shall have no liability.

                   4.1.5 Amtel shall not enter into or offer to enter into any
employment or consulting agreement with any person except to the extent
necessary to aid in its efforts to obtain Confirmation of the Plan, or prosecute
or defend any litigation in which it is a party;

to take, any of the foregoing actions or any action which would make any

and/or the transactions that it contemplates. The purpose of this provision is
to provide Buyer with as much advance notice of and opportunity to comment upon
such pleadings and papers as the circumstances reasonably permit. Accordingly,
and except for the pleadings and papers described in the following sentence,
Amtel shall provide Buyer with copies of all such pleadings and papers at least

be transmitted to Buyer via telecopier concurrently with the filing


                                       15

written request for copies of Amtel's Plan(s) and related Disclosure
Statement(s) within the meaning of Rule 3017(a) of the Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure.

                  4.2.2 The parties shall, from time to time after the Closing,
upon the request of any other party and without further consideration, execute,
acknowledge and deliver in proper form any further instruments, and take such
further actions as such other party may reasonably require, to carry out
effectively the intent of this Agreement and the Bill of Sale.

         4.3 CONFIDENTIALITY. Amtel agrees that it will not (and will cause its
officers and directors to not) at any time after the Closing, without the prior
written consent of the Buyer, disclose or use any information obtained during
the negotiation or due diligence process nor any other confidential information
(relating to either the Buyer or Amtel) otherwise obtained except (i) as may be
necessary in connection with their filing and reporting obligations under the
Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 U.S.C.), the taxing authority of any governmental
agency, subdivision or unit, or any contract which is part of the Business; and
(ii) as may be necessary in connection with Seller's Plan and Disclosure
Statement; (iii) as may be necessary in connection with seeking approval of the
enabling orders; (iv) as ordered by Bankruptcy Court; (v) as required by the

authority of any governmental agency, subdivision or unit or any contract which
is part of the business, and (vi) to the extent same is, or reasonably may be,
required by any provision of any applicable law.

         4.4 PUBLICITY. None of the parties hereto shall issue any press release
or make any public statement regarding the transactions contemplated hereby,
without the prior approval of the other parties, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, except as may be required by law or as necessary to
secure financing or obtain entry of the Enabling Order.

         4.5 EXPENSES. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein,
each party hereto shall be solely responsible for all expenses incurred by it or
on its behalf in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement
and the Bill of Sale and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its
counsel, accountants, brokers, finders, financial advisors and other

Buyer any monies received in respect of the Business after the Closing.

         4.7 TRANSFER AND SIMILAR TAXES; INDEMNITY.

             4.7.1 The parties agree that all transfer, sales, use, conveyance, 
documentary or other similar taxes and fees

<PAGE>   22



(including penalties, interest and additions) arising out of or related to the
sale of the Payphone Operating Assets pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne
by the Buyer pursuant to California Civil Code section 1656.1. The payment of
Sales Tax shall be in addition to and not withheld from the consideration
described in paragraph 1.2 above. Buyer shall be entitled to allocate the total
consideration paid under this Agreement for the Payphone Operating Assets, and
Seller expressly agrees to support, and refrain from taking any position
inconsistent with, any written allocation of that consideration made by Buyer.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement which may be construed to the
contrary, the parties agree that Buyer shall not be required to pay all, or any
portion of, any State or Federal income tax of Amtel, whether such income
tax(es) arises (arose) from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
otherwise.

                  4.7.2 By execution of this Agreement, Buyer, for itself and
all its successors in interest, covenants and agrees to pay any and all of the

expressly agrees to save, defend, and hold Amtel harmless from any and all
claims arising out of or related to Buyer's actual or claimed failure to pay
such taxes when due.

         4.10     DUTY TO OBTAIN COURT APPROVAL.

                   4.10.1 NECESSITY FOR COURT APPROVAL/DUTY TO OBTAIN. By
execution hereof the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the sale of the
Payphone Operating Assets as provided in this Agreement is a transaction outside
of Amtel's ordinary course of business which requires prior authorization and
approval of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. section 363(b) and (f);
and, (b) the assumption by Amtel and simultaneous assignment to Buyer of the
"Location Agreements" (as described in paragraph 2.0 of Exhibit A) and every
other contract, license, lease or agreement

<PAGE>   24



that constitutes a part of the Payphone Operating Assets require prior
authorization and approval of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. section
365(a). Amtel shall move as promptly as practicable after the execution hereof,
with due notice to all persons entitled to notice thereof, including without
limitation each person asserting an interest in any of the Payphone Operating
Assets and each party (other than Amtel) to a Location Agreement and every other
contract, lease, license, or agreement of Amtel that constitutes a Payphone
Operating Assets, for an order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the sale of
the Payphone Operating Assets to the Buyer and the assumption and assignment to
the Buyer of each Location Agreement and every other contract, lease, license,
or agreement of Amtel that constitutes a Payphone Operating Asset, and shall use
its best efforts to cause the entry of such order. If the Bankruptcy Court is
unwilling to enter the Enabling Order except in connection with the confirmation
of a reorganization plan for Amtel, Amtel will as soon as practicable seek the
entry of an order confirming such a plan and incorporating the provisions of
such an Enabling Order.

                   4.10.2 ENABLING ORDER EFFECTIVE DATE. Except for obligations
which, by their nature, will be performed prior to entry of the Enabling Order,
including, without limitation, the performance of obligations under paragraphs
4.10.3 and 6.9 of


                                       20


<PAGE>   25



this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be valid and binding upon the parties
until the entry of the Enabling Order; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that upon entry of the
"Enabling Order," the binding effect of this Agreement shall relate back to the
first date hereinabove set forth (the "Effective Date"). The Enabling Order may,
but are not required to be, part of an order confirming Amtel's Chapter 11 plan
in the Bankruptcy Case.

                  4.10.3 NO OVERBID. The Buyer's original offer to purchase the
Payphone Operating Assets, was made under the express condition that if
accepted, it would not be subject to any form of overbid procedure, in the
Bankruptcy Court or otherwise. Amtel accepted the Buyer's offer upon those
terms. Accordingly, by execution of this Agreement, the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall
not be subject to any form of overbid procedure in the Bankruptcy Court or
otherwise. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court, or any other person or
entity, compels Amtel to subject the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
to any overbid procedure, then, unless the Buyer waives the provisions of this
paragraph 4.10 in writing Amtel's acceptance of the offer, shall be deemed to
have been ineffective, all of the rights of both parties under this Agreement
shall automatically terminate, and the Nonrefundable Deposit (notwithstanding
its name) shall be returned forthwith to the Buyer, together with any


                                       21

and all interest earned thereon from the date of deposit to the
date of return.

         4.11     PERMISSIBLE BACK-UP OFFERS; DUTY TO DISCLOSE BACK-UP
OFFERS.

                  4.11.1 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement which
may be construed to the contrary (including, without limitation, the "no
overbid" provisions of Paragraph 4.10.3 above), Amtel shall have the right to
negotiate with interested parties to obtain "Back-Up Offers" for transactions
which may include a sale or other disposition of the Payphone Operating Assets
at any time up to the actual date of the Closing provided that Amtel has reason
to believe that the Enabling Order will not be issued, that Buyer will not have
sufficient funds to satisfy its obligations hereunder, or that Buyer will not
consummate the Closing by the Closing Date for any other reason. Seller shall
have the right to obtain any authorization or approval necessary from the
Bankruptcy Court which reasonably may be necessary to authorize Amtel to enter
into and consummate transactions which are the subject of "Back-Up Offers" prior
to the Closing; provided however, that any order of the Bankruptcy Court
authorizing or approving Amtel's acceptance or performance of any Back-Up Offers
shall, by its express terms, make the authorization and/or approval conditional
upon Buyer's failure to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on
or


                                       22


<PAGE>   27



before the Closing Date; notwithstanding the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in paragraph 5.1. Any such order not containing that limitation shall be
conclusively presumed to create and constitute an "overbid procedure" within the
meaning of this Agreement, and in violation of paragraph 4.10.3 above.

                  4.11.2 Amtel shall disclose, to the Buyer, in writing, the
identity of the prospective purchaser under any Back-Up-Offer, the nature and
extent of the assets to be purchased, the nature and extent of the consideration
to be received, and the terms upon which the consideration is to be paid or
otherwise delivered. This writing shall be issued not later than three (3)
business days following the date that the Back-Up Offer is received by Amtel's
General Manager. In the event that Amtel makes any counterproposal to any such
Back-Up Offer, or the Back-Up Offer is otherwise modified or withdrawn, then a
follow-up written notice identifying the proposed and/or modified terms of the
prospective transaction shall be given not later than three (3) business days
following the date that either the counterproposal is made by Amtel or the
modification/withdrawal is received by Amtel's General Manager.

                   4.12 AUDIT COOPERATION. By execution of this Agreement Amtel
expressly covenants and agrees that it will make available documents and
personnel which are subject to its control and provide such other assistance as
may be reasonably be necessary


                                       23


<PAGE>   28



to cooperate with any audit conducted by any firm of certified public
accountants engaged by Buyer for the purpose of auditing all or any portion of
Amtel's financial books and records or other documents relating to the Business.

Plan and after the entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan
(the "Confirmation Order"). Such distribution will be made in reliance on 11

"Securities Act"), and any state or local law requiring registration for offer
or sale of a security (collectively referred to ans "Blue Sky Laws"). Amtel
agrees that it will not make such distribution unless:

         (a) The confirmation Order includes a finding of fact that the Buyer is
         a "successor" of Amtel within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. section 1145 and
         a conclusion of law that the distribution qualifies for the exemption
         from registration in that section, or; 

         (b) The Confirmation Order includes a conclusion of law that the
         distribution either (I) qualifies for an exemption


                                       24


<PAGE>   29



         (other than 11 USC section 1145) from the registration requirements of
         the securities Act, and any applicable Blue Sky Law, or; (ii) is being
         made in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable Blue Sky
         Law.

                  4.13.2 Prior to the entry of a Confirmation Order that
includes the finding and/or conclusion set forth in the foregoing paragraph,
Amtel, for itself and any successor in interest, including without limitation
any trustee appointed by the Bankruptcy Court, agrees that it will not for a
period of twenty-five months following the effective date of the Plan sell,
transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Common Stock
(other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act) without first delivering to the Buyer a written opinion of counsel,
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Buyer, that there is
available therefor an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.

                  4.13.3 The certificate representing the Common Stock to be
delivered to Amtel at the Closing will bear a legend which shall be in substance
substantially identical to the legend set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference (the "Restrictive Legend"). After the
entry of a Confirmation Order the includes the finding and conclusion set forth
in paragraph 4.13.1 and in connection with the distribution


                                       25


<PAGE>   30



of the Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, at the request of Amtel, the Buyer
will cause such certificate to be replaced with certificates of Common Stock in
appropriate denominations for distribution under the Plan, which replacement
certificates will not bear the Restrictive Legend.

                    1.4 THE CLOSING; CLOSING PAYMENT. (a) Upon the terms and

<PAGE>   9



tions 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 hereof shall take place. All such actions shall be deemed
to have occurred simultaneously.

                        (b)  Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is Sellers' good faith
estimate of the Purchase Price as of the Closing Date, including all the detail

to be issued pursuant to Section 1.3(a) shall be delivered as soon as
practicable after the Closing.

                    1.5 CONSIDERATION ADJUSTMENTS. As soon as practicable after

                              (i) Upon receipt of the Adjustment Schedule,
     Sellers shall have the right during the succeeding 10-day period to examine
     the Adjustment Schedule and all records used to prepare such Adjustment
     Schedule. Sellers


                                        5

<PAGE>   10



     shall notify Buyer in writing, on or before the last day of the 10-day
     period, of any good faith objections to the Adjustment Schedule, setting
     forth a reasonably specific description of such objections and the dollar
     or other amount, as the case may be, of each objection.

                              (ii) If Sellers in good faith object to the
          Adjustment Schedule, Sellers and Buyer shall attempt to resolve any
          such objections within 10 days of Buyer's receipt of such objections.
          If Buyer and Sellers are unable to resolve the matter within such
          10-day period, they shall jointly appoint a mutually acceptable firm
          of independent certified public accountants (or, if they cannot agree
          on a mutually acceptable firm, they shall cause their respective
          accounting firms to select such firm) within five days after the end
          of such 10-day period. The fees of such independent certified public
          accountants shall be divided equally between Buyer and the Sellers.
          Such firm's resolution of the dispute shall be conclusive and binding
          upon the Sellers and Buyer.

                              (iii) The Adjustment Schedule shall be deemed
     complete upon the earlier of (A) the eleventh (11th) day after Buyer's
     delivery of the Adjustment Schedule to Sellers, unless prior to such day
     Sellers shall have notified Buyer of a dispute in accordance with paragraph
     (i), and (B) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to paragraph (ii).
     Within two business days following completion of the Adjustment Schedule as
     aforesaid, either 

                         (A) Buyer shall pay Sellers, Pro Rata, the amount, if
                         any, by which the Consideration (as adjusted) exceeds
                         the amount paid pursuant to Section 1.3 by increasing
                         the principal amount of the Buyer Notes, with such
                         increased amount being due as part of the final payment
                         of principal hereunder; PROVIDED, that, in the case of
                         an adjustment pursuant to Section 1.2(d), such payment
                         shall be made in cash; or (B) Sellers shall pay to
                         Buyer the amount, if any, by which the amount paid
                         pursuant to Section 1.3 exceeds the Consideration (as
                         adjusted) by forgiving, in the inverse

                -------------------------------------------------

                    POA and the Sellers jointly and severally represent and

in good standing under the laws of the State of Tennessee. POA has no
subsidiaries except as set forth on Schedule 3.1 attached hereto and made a part
hereof. None of the subsidiaries of POA is engaged, or has engaged, in any
business. POA has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to
own, lease and operate the properties and assets it now owns, operates and
leases and to carry on its business and operations as currently and heretofore
conducted. POA is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good
standing in each of the jurisdictions in which (i) the character or location of
the properties and assets POA owns, leases or operates, (ii) the conduct of the
POA's businesses and operations as currently and heretofore conducted or (iii)
any other circumstance makes such qualification necessary.

                    3.2 ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS AND CORPORATE RECORDS.

                        (a) Either the Sellers or POA have heretofore
delivered to the Buyer complete and correct copies, with all amendments thereto,
of the Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of

the Buyer for its inspection,


                                       15

<PAGE>   20



and such minute books contain complete and correct records of all meetings, and
consents in lieu of a meeting, of POA's Board of Directors (and any committees
thereof) and its shareholders since POA's incorporation, and accurately reflect
all transactions referred to therein. The stock books and ledgers of POA have
been made available to the Buyer for its inspection, and such books and ledgers
are complete and correct in all respects.

                        (b) Either the Sellers or POA have made available to the
Buyer all accounting, corporate and financial books and records (the "Accounting
Books and Records") which relate to POA. Such books and records are true,
accurate and complete, have been maintained on a basis consistent with past
practice, and fairly reflect the basis for POA's financial condition and results
of operations as set forth in the Audited Financial Statements.

                    3.3 AUTHORIZATION. POA has the requisite power and
authority, corporate or otherwise, to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. All corporate proceedings on the
part of Seller which are necessary to execute, deliver and perform this
Agreement and the Other

<PAGE>   21



Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
have been duly authorized and taken. This Agreement and the Other Documents have
been duly and validly executed by POA, and constitute valid and binding
obligations of POA, enforceable against POA in accordance with their terms. No
power of attorney has been granted and is currently in force by POA with respect
to any matter relating to the Business.

                  3.4 POA CAPITALIZATION. The authorized capital stock of POA
consists of 10,000,000 Shares, $.01 par value, 2,567,324 of which are issued and

no other class of capital stock authorized or outstanding. None of POA's shares
of capital stock has been reserved for any purpose except for 1,000,000 shares
reserved for issuance to employees which have not been issued to date and which
POA is under no obligation to issue. All of the Shares are duly authorized and
validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and were not issued in violation of
any preemptive rights. At the Closing, there will be no (i) options, warrants,
calls, commitments or rights of any character to purchase or otherwise acquire
from POA shares of capital stock of any class, (ii) outstanding securities of
POA that are convertible


                                       17

in any of the foregoing cases, POA is or would be subject or bound.

execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Other Documents, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor compliance
with any of the provisions hereof, nor operation of the Business (consistent

both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or
acceleration or any obligation to pay or result in the imposition of any
Encumbrance upon any of the property) under, any of the terms, conditions or
provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, Encumbrance, Contract,

<PAGE>   61



assigns (a "Seller Indemnified Party"), from and against any and all
Losses asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by any Seller
Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from:

                         (i) the breach of or any inaccuracy in any of the
          representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in or made
          pursuant to this Agreement or any facts or circumstances constituting
          such breach or inaccuracy; and

                         (ii) the breach or non-performance of any agreement
          of the Buyer contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any

                  7.5  TAX INDEMNIFICATION EVENT.

                       (a)  A "Tax Indemnification Event" means any and all 
Losses asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by a Buyer
Indemnified Party directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from any and
all Taxes imposed upon POA or the Sellers (i) with respect to any taxable period
(or any portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (such Taxes are
hereinafter referred to as "Pre-Closing Taxes" and such


                                       57

<PAGE>   62



periods as "Pre-Closing Periods") and (ii) with respect to any taxable period
beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (such Taxes
are hereinafter referred to as "Straddle Taxes" and such periods as "Straddle
Periods") but only with respect to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on
the close of the Closing Date and in the manner provided in paragraph 7.5(d)
hereof.
                           (b)  Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold each of 
the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless, at any time after the Closing, from and
against any and all Losses, asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or
incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, by reason of
or resulting from any and all Taxes imposed upon POA with respect to (i) any
taxable period beginning after the Closing Date (such Taxes are hereinafter
referred to as "Post-Closing Taxes" and such periods as "Post-Closing Periods")
and (ii) any Straddle Taxes for any Straddle Period, but only with respect to
the portion of such Straddle Period beginning the day after the Closing Date and
in the manner provided for in paragraph 7.5(c) hereof.

                           (c)  For purposes of determining the amount of Taxes
for or which relate to a Straddle Period,


                                       58

<PAGE>   63



the Closing Date shall be treated as the last day of a taxable period, and the
portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the taxable period that is so
deemed to end on and include the Closing Date: (i) in the case of Taxes that are
either (x) based upon or related to income or receipts or (y) imposed in
connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or
personal, tangible or intangible), shall be deemed equal to the amount which
would be payable if the period for which such tax is assessed ended on and
included the Closing Date, and (ii) in the cases of Taxes other than Taxes
described in clause (i) hereof, shall be computed on a per diem basis.

                           (d)  If a notice of deficiency, proposed
adjustment, adjustment, assessment, audit, examination, suit, dispute or other
claim (a "Tax Claim") shall be delivered, sent, commenced, or initiated to or
against POA by any taxing authority with respect to Taxes for which any person
is entitled to indemnification hereunder, POA shall promptly notify the Sellers
in writing of the Tax Claim. If a Tax Claim with respect to Taxes for which any
person is entitled to indemnification shall be delivered, sent, commenced or
initiated to or against the


                                       59

<PAGE>   64



Sellers by the relevant taxing authority, the Sellers shall promptly notify
Buyer in writing of such Tax Claim.

                    (e) The Sellers may, upon timely notice to Buyer, assume
and control the defense of a Tax Claim involving only Pre-Closing Taxes at their
own cost and expense and with their own counsel. If the Sellers elect to assume
the defense of any such Tax Claim, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, (i) the Sellers shall consult with Buyer and shall not enter
into any settlement with respect to any such Tax Claim without the Buyer's prior
written consent if the effect of such settlement would be to increase the
liability for Taxes of POA for any Post-Closing Period or Straddle Period; (ii)
the Sellers shall keep the Buyer informed of all material developments and
events relating to such Tax Claim; and (iii) at its own cost and expense, Buyer
shall have the right to participate in (but not to control) the defense of such
Tax Claim.

                    (f) In connection with the contest of any Tax Claim that 
relates to (i) any taxable period ending after the Closing Date (to the extent
such periods do not constitute Straddle Periods), (ii) any Straddle Period and
(iii) any Tax Claim that the Sellers have the ability to control but do not
timely elect to control pursuant to


                                       60

<PAGE>   65



Section 7.5(e), such contest shall be controlled by the Buyer, and the Sellers
agree to cooperate with the Buyer and its affiliates in pursuing such contest.
In connection with any such contest that relates to (ii) or (iii) above, the
Buyer shall keep the Sellers informed of all material developments and events
relating to such Tax Claim and Sellers, at their own cost and expense, shall
have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Tax
claim. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as limiting Buyer's right to
indemnification under this Article VII.

                      7.6  LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.

                           (a)  The indemnifications in favor of the Buyer
Indemnified Parties contained in Section 7.3 hereof shall not be effective until
the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses indemnified against under such Section
exceeds $10,000 (the "Sellers' Threshold Amount"), in which case all indemnified
Losses shall be paid.

                           (b)  The indemnifications in favor of the Seller 
Indemnified Parties contained in Section 7.4 hereof shall not be effective until
the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses indemnified against under such Section
exceeds $10,000 (the "Buyer's Threshold Amount"), in which case all indemnified
Losses shall be paid.

                  7.7  INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES.

                       (a)  NOTICE.  If any legal proceeding shall be 
threatened or instituted or any claim or demand shall be asserted by any Buyer
Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party in respect of which
indemnification may be sought under the provisions of this Agreement, the party
seeking indemnification (the "Claiming Party") shall promptly cause written
notice of the assertion of any such claim, demand or proceeding of which it has
knowledge to be forwarded to the party from whom it is claiming indemnification
(the "Indemnitor"). Such notice shall contain a reference to the provisions
hereof or of such other agreement, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant
hereto, in respect of which such claim is being made, and shall specify, in
reasonable detail, the amount of such Loss if determinable at such time. The
Claiming Party's failure to give the Indemnitor prompt notice shall not preclude
the Claiming Party from seeking indemnification from the Indemnitor unless the
Claiming Party's failure has materially prejudiced the Indemnitor's ability to
defend the claim, demand or proceeding.

                           (b)  THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.  If the Claiming Party 
seeks indemnification from the Indemnitor as a


                                       62

<PAGE>   67



result of a claim or demand being made by a third party (a "Third Party Claim"),
the Indemnitor shall have the right to promptly assume the control of the
defense of such Third Party Claim, including, at its own expense, employment by
it of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party. The Claiming Party
may, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, employ counsel to represent
it in the defense of the Third Party Claim, and in such event counsel for the
Indemnitor shall cooperate with counsel for the Claiming Party in such defense,
provided that the Indemnitor shall direct and control the defense of such Third
Party Claim or proceeding. Except with the written consent of the Claiming
Party, the Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment nor enter
into any settlement of such Third Party Claim which (i) does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the release of the Claiming Party from all liability
in respect of such Third Party Claim and (ii) results in the imposition on the
Claiming Party of any remedy other than money damages; provided, however, that
the Claiming Party shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to the
entry of any judgment or any settlement of a Third Party Claim. If the
Indemnitor elects not to exercise its rights to assume the defense


                                       63

<PAGE>   68



of the Third Party Claim, or if injunctive relief is sought which would have an
adverse effect on the Claiming Party, the Claiming Party may, but shall have no
obligation to, defend against such Third Party Claim or legal proceeding in such
manner as it may deem appropriate, and the Claiming Party may compromise or
settle such Third Party Claim and proceeding without the Indemnitor's
consent so long as the Claiming Party acts in a commercially reasonable manner
(without regard to the Claiming Party's indemnification rights hereunder).

                    (c) PAYMENT. After any final judgment or award shall have 
been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of
competent jurisdiction and the time in which to appeal therefrom shall have
expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Claiming Party and
the Indemnitor shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each
separate matter alleged to be indemnified by the Indemnitor hereunder, the
Claiming Party shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing
by it with respect to such matter (in accordance with Section 8.10 hereof) and
the Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums so owing to the Claiming Party by wire
transfer, certified or bank


                                       64

cashier's check within 10 days after the date of such notice.

                  7.8 REMEDIES. Except for Losses resulting from fraud or
violations of the securities laws, the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach
of this Agreement shall be pursuant to this Article VII.

                    (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the 
benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the rights and obligations
of the Buyer and the Sellers hereunder may not be assigned by any of the parties
hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that the
Buyer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any Designated
Subsidiary, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Buyer shall remain liable for all of its
obligations and those of any Designated Subsidiary hereunder, and, from and
after the Closing Date, Buyer may assign its rights hereunder to any party
providing financing to Buyer.

                           (b)  This Agreement is not intended, nor

their heirs, successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies under or by
reason of this Agreement, except for the rights of Buyer Indemnified Parties and
Seller Indemnified Parties under Article VII hereof.

                       8.2 EXHIBITS AND DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE. All Exhibits

or condition hereof or consent pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective
unless evidenced by an instrument in writing executed by all of the parties or
in the case of a waiver, the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, is
sought. Any waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such
obligation, covenant, agreement, provision or condition shall not operate as a
waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

                  8.5 VALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provisions of this Agreement, each of which shall remain in full force
and effect.

                  8.6 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which

                  I understand that this certification may be disclosed to the
Internal Revenue Service by Buyer and that any false statement I have made here
could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

                  Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
provides that a transferee (buyer) of a U.S. real property interest must
withhold tax if the transferor (seller) is a foreign person. To inform PhoneTel
III, Inc., an Ohio Corporation, ("Buyer"), that withholding of tax is not
required upon my disposition of a U.S. real property interest pursuant to the
Amended and Restated Share Purchase Agreement dated August 16, 1996, I, 
Stan Rojeski, a shareholder of Payphones of America, Inc., hereby certify the 
following:

                  1. I am not a nonresident alien for purposes of U.S. 
        income taxation;

                  2. My U.S. taxpayer identification (Social
        Security) number is ###-##-####; and

                  3.         My home address is

                  I understand that this certification may be disclosed to the
Internal Revenue Service by Buyer and that any false statement I have made here
could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

                    CONSULTING AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
                    ----------------------------------------

         CONSULTING AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (this "Agree ment"), dated as
of August 1, 1996, by and between PhoneTel III, Inc., an Ohio corporation
("PhoneTel"), and Sue Harvey ("Harvey").

         WHEREAS, Harvey has heretofore acted as an employee and officer of
Payphones of America, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Payphones") and has acted
as the liaison with the Missouri Petroleum Marketers Association;

         WHEREAS, PhoneTel and Payphones have entered into an Amended and
Restated Share Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of
August 1, 1996, pursuant to which, at the "Closing" (as such term is defined in
the Purchase Agreement) PhoneTel will purchase all the capital stock of
Payphones (the "Shares").

         WHEREAS, Payphones and PhoneTel are in the business of owning, leasing,
operating and maintaining pay telephones;

         WHEREAS, PhoneTel recognizes that Harvey possesses trade secrets and
confidential business information relating to Payphones as well as knowledge and
experience relating to the pay telephone industry and desires to prevent Harvey
from (1) competing with the business operated by PhoneTel (or any subsidiary
thereof), (2) soliciting the former, current or future customers or employees of
PhoneTel (or any subsidiary thereof) or (3) soliciting PhoneTel to sell its
assets (or the assets of any subsidiary thereof);

         WHEREAS, Phonetel has required Harvey to enter into this Agreement as a
condition to the Closing; and

         WHEREAS, Harvey is agreeable to restrictions on her ability to compete
against and solicit from PhoneTel in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the execution, delivery and
performance of the Purchase Agreement,
<PAGE>   90

and mutual premises and covenants herein and therein contained and other good 
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby 
acknowledged, PhoneTel and Harvey hereby agree as follows:

         1. TERM. The term of this agreement shall commence on the date hereof
and continue for a period of five (5) years hereafter (the "Term").

         2. NON-COMPETITION. (a) For a period of two years commencing on the 
date hereof, neither Harvey nor any member of her family shall, without the 
prior written consent of PhoneTel, directly or indirectly, own, operate, 
manage, be employed by, be an agent of, act as a consultant for, financially 
support, lease property to or from or have a proprietary interest in, any 
enterprise or business which sells, leases, maintains, owns or operates pay 
telephones in any part of the states listed in Schedule 2 hereto. Harvey 
acknowledges that the business of PhoneTel and its affiliates will be conducted
throughout such states and agrees that such geographic scope is reasonable.

         (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein,
Harvey shall not be prohibited from (i) owning less than 2% of the outstanding
equity securities of any publicly-held corporation, (ii) engaging in the
activities contemplated by Section 4 hereof, but only on behalf of PhoneTel or
Payphones, or (iii) serving as an employee, officer, or director of VisionComm,
Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("VisionComm"), provided that VisionComm does not
(and does not have any proprietary interest in any enterprise or business which
does) sell, lease, maintain or operate pay telephones in any part of the states
listed in Schedule 2 hereto, except for (A) one phone in Illinois for purposes
of complying with the regulations of the Illinois Payphone Association Settle-
ment LLC, (B) telephones operated under the Columbia/HCA Contract and (C) any
hospitality payphones tied in with cable, pay-per-view, or a hospitality room
phone, which may include the provision of operator services.

         3. NON-SOLICITATION. Harvey agrees that, during the Term of this
agreement, she will not, directly or indirectly, (i) purchase or otherwise
acquire, or attempt to purchase or otherwise acquire, any of the 


                                      2
<PAGE>   91

assets of PhoneTel (or any subsidiary thereof); (ii) solicit, entice or
persuade, or attempt to solicit, entice or persuade, any employee of PhoneTel
or its affiliates, or any client then under contract with PhoneTel or any of its
affiliates to terminate his employment by or contractual relationship with
PhoneTel or its affiliates or to become employed by or to enter into
contractual relations with a competitor of PhoneTel or its affiliates; or (iii)
persuade or attempt to persuade customers, potential customers, suppliers or
potential suppliers of PhoneTel and its affiliates to divert their business to
any other entity or individual.

        4. COMPENSATION. In consideration for the agreements of Harvey contained
herein, Phonetel agrees to pay or cause Payphones to pay Harvey (i) $200
multiplied by the number of telephones contained in any location contract which
Harvey secures, with either (A) a member of the Missouri Petroleum Marketers
Association or (B) anyone else, on PhoneTel's behalf during the two years
following the Closing, provided PhoneTel accepts and enters into such location
contract, and provided further that such amount shall be reduced by any amount
payable pursuant to clause (ii) below, and (ii) $1,000 per month for the six
months following the Closing, but such amount will be reduced by any amount paid
to Harvey pursuant to clause (i) above.

        5. CONFIDENTIALITY. Harvey acknowledges that PhoneTel would be
irreparably damaged if confidential information about PhoneTel, its affiliates
or the Assets were disclosed to or utilized on behalf of any person, firm,
corporation or other business organization which is in competition in any
respect with PhoneTel or its affiliates. Harvey covenants and agrees that she
will not at any time, and will cause her agents, affiliates and associates not
to at any time, without the prior written consent of PhoneTel, disclose any such
confidential information, except to employees and authorized representatives of
PhoneTel.

        6.NECESSITY. Harvey acknowledges that due to the uniqueness of her
skills and abilities and the uniqueness of the trade secrets, confidential
business lists, customer requirements and preferences, records and information
she possesses, the covenants set forth herein are reasonable and necessary for
the protection of 



                                      3
<PAGE>   92

PhoneTel. Harvey further acknowledges that enforcement of the covenants
herein will not deprive her of her ability to earn a livelihood.

         7. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Harvey acknowledges that the rights and
privileges granted to PhoneTel herein are of a special and unique character,
which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which may not be reasonably or
adequately compensated for by damages in an action at law, and that a breach by
Harvey of this Agreement will cause PhoneTel irreparable injury and damage.
Accordingly, Harvey hereby agrees that PhoneTel shall be entitled to remedies of
injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, to prevent or cure a
breach of this Agreement. This provision shall not be construed as a waiver of
any other rights or remedies PhoneTel may have for damages or otherwise.

         8. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. The parties have entered into this Agreement in
good faith and for the reasons set forth in the recitals hereto and assume and
intend that this Agreement is legally binding. If, for any reason, this
Agreement is not binding because of its geographical scope or because of its
term, then the parties agree that this Agreement shall be deemed effective for
the widest geographical area and/or the longest period of time as may be legally
enforceable, it being understood that the compensation payable hereunder is for
the full Term and geographic area stated herein, and for all the covenants of
Harvey. Any provision which is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability
without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. The provisions of this
Section 7 shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights or remedies
PhoneTel may have for damages or otherwise.

         9. BINDING EFFECT; MODIFICATIONS. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the personal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns of the parties to this Agreement. This
Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes any and
all prior written agreements between the parties, and all prior and
contemporaneous oral statements with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby. This Agreement may not be changed or terminated orally, but may only be 
changed

by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

         10. SECTION CAPTIONS; COUNTERPARTS. Section and other captions
contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are in no way
intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of
this Agreement or any provision hereof. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an
original, and such counterparts shall, together, constitute and be one and the
same instrument.

         11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
under the laws of the State of New York, applied without giving effect to any
conflict of laws principles.

         12. NO RULE OF CONSTRUCTION. The parties acknowledge and agree that no

                  4. CONFIDENTIALITY. Brinkmeier acknowledges that PhoneTel
would be irreparably damaged if confidential information about PhoneTel, its

respect with PhoneTel or its affiliates. Brinkmeier covenants and agrees that he
will not at any time, and will cause his agents, affiliates and associates not

terms of this Agreement, such installment payments will be withheld. Brinkmeier
hereby acknowledges that by virtue of this Agreement he is not and will not

injury and damage. Accordingly, Brinkmeier hereby agrees that PhoneTel shall be
entitled to remedies of injunction, specific performance or other equitable
relief, to prevent or cure a breach of this Agreement. This provision shall not

damages or otherwise.

otherwise.

                    CONSULTING AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
                    ----------------------------------------

                  CONSULTING AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"),
dated as of August 1, 1996, by and between PhoneTel III, Inc., an Ohio corpo-
ration ("PhoneTel"), and Stanley Rojeski ("Rojeski").

                  WHEREAS, Rojeski has heretofore served as President of
Payphones of America, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Payphones");

                  WHEREAS, PhoneTel and Payphones have entered into an Amended
and Restated Share Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of
August 1, 1996, pursuant to which, at the "Closing" (as such term is defined in
the Purchase Agreement) PhoneTel will purchase all the capital stock of
Payphones (the "Shares").

                  WHEREAS, Payphones and PhoneTel are in the business of owning,
leasing, operating and maintaining pay telephones;

                  WHEREAS, PhoneTel recognizes that Rojeski possesses trade
secrets and confidential business information relating to Payphones as well as
knowledge and experience relating to the pay telephone industry and desires to
prevent Rojeski from (1) competing with the business operated by PhoneTel (or
any subsidiary thereof), (2) soliciting the former, current or future customers
or employees of PhoneTel (or any subsidiary thereof) or (3) soliciting PhoneTel
to sell its assets (or the assets of any subsidiary thereof);

                  WHEREAS, Phonetel has required Rojeski to enter into this
Agreement as a condition to the Closing; and

                  WHEREAS, Rojeski is agreeable to restrictions on his ability
to compete against and solicit from PhoneTel in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the execution, delivery
and performance of the Purchase Agreement, and mutual premises and covenants
herein and therein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the


<PAGE>   106

receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, PhoneTel and Rojeski
hereby agree as follows:

                  1. TERM. The term of this agreement shall commence on the date
hereof and continue for a period of five (5) years hereafter (the "Term").

                  2. NON-COMPETITION. (a) Subject to and expressly conditioned
upon PhoneTel's timely payment of all amounts due to Rojeski hereunder, for a
period of three years commencing on the date hereof, neither Rojeski nor any
member of his family shall, without the prior written consent of PhoneTel,
directly or indirectly, own, operate, manage, be employed by, be an agent of,
act as a consultant for, financially support, lease property to or from or have
a proprietary interest in, any enterprise or business which sells, leases,
maintains, owns or operates pay telephones in any part of the states listed on
Schedule 2 hereto. Rojeski acknowledges that the business of PhoneTel and its
affiliates will be conducted throughout such states and agrees that such
geographic scope is reasonable.

                  (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein, Rojeski shall not be prohibited from (i) owning less than 2% of the
outstanding equity securities of any publicly-held corporation or (ii) holding
an interest in VisionComm, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("VisionComm"), and
serving as a director and officer of VisionComm, provided that VisionComm does
not (and does not have any proprietary interest in any enterprise or business
which does) sell, lease, maintain or operate pay telephones in any part of the
states listed on Schedule 2 hereto, except for (A) telephones operated under the
Columbia/HCA Contract and (B) installing any hospitality payphones tied in with
cable, pay-per-view, or a hospitality room phone, which may include the
provision of operator services.

                 3. NON-SOLICITATION. Rojeski agrees that, during the Term of
this agreement, he will not, directly or indirectly, (i) purchase or otherwise
acquire, or attempt to purchase or otherwise acquire, any of the assets of
PhoneTel (or any subsidiary thereof); (ii) solicit, entice or persuade, or
attempt to solicit, entice or persuade, any employee of PhoneTel or its
affiliates, or any client then under contract with 



                                      2
<PAGE>   107

PhoneTel or any of its affiliates to terminate his employment by or contractual
relationship with PhoneTel or its affiliates or to become employed by or to
enter into contractual relations with a competitor of PhoneTel or its
affiliates; or (iii) persuade or attempt to persuade customers, potential
customers, suppliers or potential suppliers of PhoneTel and its affiliates to
divert their business to any other entity or individual.

                  4. CONFIDENTIALITY. Rojeski acknowledges that PhoneTel would
be irreparably damaged if confidential information about PhoneTel, its
affiliates or the Assets were disclosed to or utilized on behalf of any person,
firm, corporation or other business organization which is in competition in any
respect with PhoneTel or its affiliates. Rojeski covenants and agrees that he
will not at any time, and will cause his agents, affiliates and associates not
to at any time, without the prior written consent of PhoneTel, disclose any such
confidential information, except to employees and authorized representatives of
PhoneTel.

                  5. CONSULTING. For a period of three years commencing on the
date hereof, Rojeski shall make himself available to perform consulting and
other related services with respect to matters involving the business and
affairs of PhoneTel or any of its affiliates as requested; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that Rojeski shall perform such services no more frequently than the equivalent
of three business days per month. Rojeski shall devote reasonable time and his
reasonable best efforts, skill and attention to the performance of such
consulting services, including travel reasonably required in the performance of
such consulting services. PhoneTel shall reimburse Rojeski for all reasonable

Rojeski contained herein, PhoneTel agrees to pay or cause Payphones to pay
Rojeski a total of $187,500, without interest, to be paid (a) in equal monthly

following the public sale of equity securities by PhoneTel Technologies, Inc.
pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act of 1933; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,

                                      3
<PAGE>   108

for all federal and state withholding taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution
Act taxes and workers' compensation and unemployment compensation taxes, if
applicable, and agrees to indemnify and hold PhoneTel harmless from any claim
or liability therefor.

Rojeski of this Agreement will cause PhoneTel irreparable injury and damage.
Accordingly, Rojeski hereby agrees that PhoneTel shall be entitled to remedies
of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, to prevent or
cure a breach of this Agreement. This provision shall not be construed as a
waiver of any other rights or remedies PhoneTel may have for damages or
otherwise.

                WHEREAS, the Shareholders have requested that, in connection
with the Purchase Agreement, PhoneTel provide a means of registering PhoneTel
Common Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and PhoneTel is willing to provide such registration as provided herein;

                NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                1.      Piggyback Registrations.
                        -----------------------

                              (a) RIGHT TO PIGGYBACK. Whenever PhoneTel proposes
               to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act
               (other than the first registration after the date hereof) and the
               registration form to be used may be used for the registration of
               Shares (a "Piggyback Registration"), PhoneTel will give prompt
               written notice (in any event within five business days after its
               receipt of notice of any exercise of other demand registration
               rights) to all Shareholders of its intention to effect such a
               registration and will, subject to paragraphs (b), (c) and (d)
               below, include in such registration all Shares with respect to
               which PhoneTel has received written requests for inclusion
               therein within 15 days after the receipt of PhoneTel's notice.
               PhoneTel may satisfy its obligation under this Section 1(a) by
               registering the Shares on a shelf registration and, subject to
               normal holdback and blackout periods, cause such

<PAGE>   124

               shelf registration to remain effective until the second
               anniversary hereof.

                              (b) PRIORITY ON PRIMARY REGISTRATIONS. If a
               Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on
               behalf of PhoneTel (whether or not also on behalf of holders of
               PhoneTel's securities), and the managing underwriters advise
               PhoneTel in writing that in their opinion the number of
               securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds
               the number which can be sold in such offering, PhoneTel will
               include in such registration (i) first, the securities PhoneTel
               proposes to sell, (ii) second, Shares requested to be registered
               by shareholders whose registration rights are, by their terms,
               senior to the rights granted hereby, (iii) third, the Shares
               requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the
               Shareholders and others having similar registration rights on the
               basis of the number of Shares then owned by each of them, and
               (iv) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such
               registration.

                              (c) PRIORITY ON SECONDARY REGISTRATIONS. If a
               Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration
               on behalf of holders of PhoneTel's securities, and the managing
               underwriters advise PhoneTel in writing that in their opinion the
               number of securities requested to be included in such
               registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such
               offering, PhoneTel will include in such registration (i) first,
               the securities requested to be included therein by the holders
               demanding such registration, (ii) second, Shares requested to be
               registered by shareholders whose registration rights are, by
               their terms, senior to the rights amended hereby, (iii) third,
               the Shares requested to be included in such registration, pro
               rata among such Shareholders and others having similar
               registration rights on the basis of the number of Shares then
               owned by each of them and (iv) fourth, other securities requested
               to be included in such registration.

                              (d) Nothing in this Section 1 will prohibit
               PhoneTel from determining, at any time, not to file a
               registration statement or, if filed, to withdraw such
               registration or terminate the registration related thereto.

               02. SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If any offering pursuant to a
Registration Statement is an underwritten offering, PhoneTel will select a
managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering.

                3. REGISTRATION EXPENSES. PhoneTel will pay all of its expenses
in connection with the registration of Shares (including registration and filing
fees, printing costs, listing fees and the fees and expenses of its counsel),
and each Shareholder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and
transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such
Shareholder's Shares pursuant to any registration statement filed pursuant to
Section 1 above (a "Registration Statement") .

                4. INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION.

                   (a) INDEMNIFICATION BY PHONETEL. PhoneTel agrees to indemnify
          each Shareholder and any agent or investment adviser thereof against
          all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including
          reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of investigation) incurred by
          such party pursuant to any actual or threatened action, suit,
          proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon (i) any
          untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the
          Registration Statement, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or
          any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing or (ii) any
          omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
          to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in
          the case of a prospectus or a preliminary prospectus, in light of the
          circum stances then existing) not misleading, except in each case
          insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon, any such untrue
          statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with
          information with respect to such indemnified party furnished in
          writing to PhoneTel by such indemnified party or its counsel expressly

                                       3

<PAGE>   126

          for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
          paragraph (a), PhoneTel will not be liable to any Shareholder, any
          person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of
          Shares or any other person, if any, who controls such holder or
          underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act), under the
          indemnity agreement in this paragraph (a) for any such loss, claim,
          damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or
          expense that arises out of such holder's or other person's fail ure to
          send or give a copy of the final prospectus to the person asserting an
          untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
          omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the
          Shares to such person if such statement or omission was corrected in
          such final prospectus and PhoneTel has previously furnished copies
          thereof to such Shareholder.

                    (b) INDEMNIFICATION BY SHAREHOLDERS. In connection with the
          Registration Statement, each Shareholder will furnish to PhoneTel in
          writing such information, including with respect to the name, address
          and the amount of Shares held by such Shareholder, as PhoneTel
          reasonably requests for use in such Registration Statement or the
          related prospectus and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
          PhoneTel, all other prospective holders or any underwriter, as the
          case may be, and any of their respective affiliates, directors,
          officers and controlling Persons (within the meaning of the Securities
          Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
          resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
          fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required
          to be stated in such Registration Statement or prospectus or any
          amendment or supplement to either of them or necessary to make the
          statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the
          circumstances then existing) not misleading, but only to the extent
          that any such untrue statement or omission is made in reliance on
          and in conformity with information with respect to such

                                       4

<PAGE>   127

          Shareholder furnished in writing to PhoneTel by such Shareholder or
          its counsel specifically for inclusion therein.

                    (c) CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Any person
          entitled to indemnification hereunder agrees to give prompt written
          notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by such indemnified
          party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit,
          proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for
          which such indemnified party may claim indemnification or contribution
          pursuant to this Agreement (provided that failure to give such
          notification shall not affect the obligations of the indemnifying
          person pursuant to this Section 4 except to the extent the
          indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of
          such failure). In case any such action shall be brought against any
          indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
          commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
          participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly
          with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the
          defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party
          (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be
          counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the
          indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to
          assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable
          to such indemnified party under these indemnification provisions for
          any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each
          case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection
          with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation,
          unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict
          of interest is likely to exist between such indemnified party and any
          other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which
          event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable
          fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. The
          indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any
          settlement made without its consent (which will not be unreasonably
          withheld).

                                       5

<PAGE>   128

                    (d) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification from the
          indemnifying party provided for in this Section 4 is unavailable to
          the indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims,
          damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the
          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
          expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
          fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection
          with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
          liabilities and expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
          considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and
          indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other
          things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
          alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
          omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to
          information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party,
          and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
          opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or
          payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages,
          liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include,
          subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) above, any legal
          and other fees and expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
          party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

                    The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
          equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined
          by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does
          not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
          immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of
          this Section 4, 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

                                       6

<PAGE>   129

          of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
          omission, and no Shareholder shall be required to contribute any
          amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the
          Shares of such Shareholder were offered to the public (net of all
          underwriting discounts and commissions) exceeds the amount of any
          damages which such Shareholder has otherwise been required to pay by
          reason of such untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of
          fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
          the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
          who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                    If indeminification is available under this Section 4, the
          indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the
          full extent provided in Section 4(a) or (b), as the case may be,
          without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying parties or
          indemnified party or any other equitable consideration provided for in
          this paragraph (d).

                5. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. No Shareholder
may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such Shareholder
(i) agrees to sell his Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by PhoneTel in its reasonable discretion and (ii)
completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms
of such underwriting arrangements.

                6. RULE 144. For a period of three years following the date
hereof (or such shorter period as may permit the sale of Shares under Rule 144
under the Securities Act without regard to the requirement of "current public
information"), PhoneTel covenants that it will file the reports required to be
filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") thereunder (or, if PhoneTel is not required to file such
reports, it will, upon the request of any Shareholder make publicly available
other information so long as necessary to permit sales under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act),

                                       7

<PAGE>   130

and it will take such further action as any Shareholder may reasonably request,
all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Shareholder to sell
Shares - without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of
the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule
may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Shareholder PhoneTel will
deliver to such Shareholder a written statement as to whether it has complied
with such requirements.

                7.  REMEDIES.  Each Shareholder in addition to being
entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages,
will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.

                8.  PARTIES IN INTEREST; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.

                (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit
of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of PhoneTel
and the Shareholders hereunder may not be assigned by any of the parties hereto
without the prior written consent of the other parties.

                (b) This Agreement is not intended, nor shall it be construed,
to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement upon any
person except the parties hereto and their heirs, successors and permitted
assigns.

                9.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement embodies the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject
matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and
understandings of the parties with respect to such subject matter.

                10. COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                11. HEADINGS.  The section headings contained in this
Agreement are for convenience only and shall not control or affect in any way

                12. GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving
effect to the conflicts of law principles of such jurisdiction.

                13. NOTICES. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been

Collateral, free and clear of any Liens other than the Permitted Liens.

                  (B) The Company has not performed any acts which might prevent

would limit the Agent in any such enforcement. Other than financing statements
or other similar or equivalent documents or instruments with respect to the
Security Interests and Permitted Liens, no financing statement, mortgage,
security agreement or similar or equivalent document or instrument covering all

SECTION 3.  The Security Interests
            ----------------------
                  (A) In order to secure the full and punctual payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, the
Company hereby grants to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties a continuing security interest in and to all of the following property
of the Company, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising
and regardless of where located (all being collectively referred to as the

                  (1)  Accounts;

                  (2)  Inventory;

                  (3)  General Intangibles;

                  (4)  Documents;

                  (5)  Instruments;

                  (6)  Equipment;

                  (7) All books and records (including customer lists, credit
                  files, computer programs, printouts and other computer
                  materials and records) of the Company pertaining to any of the
                  Collateral; and

                  (8) All Proceeds of all or any of the Collateral described in
                  Clauses 1 through 7 hereof.

                  (B) The Security Interests are granted as security only and
shall not subject any Secured Party to, or transfer or in any way affect or
modify, any obligation or liability of the Company with respect to any of the
Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith.


SECTION 4.  Further Assurances; Covenants
            -----------------------------
                  (A) The Company will not change its name, identity or
corporate structure in any manner unless it shall have given the Agent prior
notice thereof. The Company will not change the location of its chief executive
office or chief place of business unless it shall have given the Agent 45 days
prior notice thereof. The Company shall not in any event change the location of
any Collateral if such change would cause the Security Interests in such
Collateral to lapse or cease to be perfected.

                  (B) The Company will, from time to time, at its expense,
execute, deliver, file and record any statement, assignment, instrument,
document, agreement or other paper and take any other action (including any
filings of financing or continuation statements under the UCC) that from time to
time may be necessary or desirable in order to create, preserve, perfect,
confirm or validate the Security Interests or to enable the Secured Parties to
obtain the full benefits of this Agreement, or to enable the Agent to exercise
and enforce any of its rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any
of the Collateral. The Company agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic
or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement is
sufficient as a financing statement.

                  (C) The Company shall keep full and accurate books and records
relating to the Collateral.

<PAGE>   171




                  (D) The Company will immediately deliver and pledge each
Instrument to the Agent, appropriately endorsed to the Agent, provided that so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company
may retain for collection in the ordinary course any Instruments received by it
in the ordinary course of business and the Agent shall, promptly upon request of
the Company, make appropriate arrangements for making any other Instrument
pledged by the Company available to it for purposes of presentation, collection
or renewal (any such arrangement to be effected, to the extent deemed
appropriate to the Agent, against trust receipt or like document).

                  (E) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
to be collected from its account debtors, as and when due, any and all amounts
owing under or on account of each Account (including Accounts which are
delinquent, such Accounts to be collected in accordance with lawful collection
procedures) and shall apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such amounts as
are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Account. Subject to the
rights of the Secured Parties hereunder upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Company may allow in the ordinary course
of business as adjustments to amounts owing under its Accounts (i) an extension
or renewal of the time or times of payment, or settlement for less than the
total unpaid balance, which the Company finds appropriate in accordance with
sound business judgment and (ii) a refund or credit due as a result of returned
or damaged merchandise or as a discount for prompt payment, all in accordance
with the Company's ordinary course of business consistent with its historical
collection practices.

                  (F) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, upon request of the Sellers through the Agent, the Company
will promptly notify (and the Company hereby authorizes the Agent so to notify)
each account debtor in respect of any Account or Instrument that such Collateral
has been assigned to the Agent hereunder, and that any payments due or to become
due in respect of such Collateral are to be made directly to the Agent or its
designee.

                  (G) The Company will, promptly upon request, provide to the
Agent all information and evidence it may reasonably request concerning the
Collateral to enable the Agent to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.


SECTION 5.  General Authority
            -----------------
                  The Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent its true and
lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of the Company,
the Secured Parties or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Secured
Parties, but at the Company's expense, to the extent permitted by law to
exercise, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, all or any of the following powers with respect to
all or any of the Collateral:

                  (i) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance
         for any and all monies due or to become due thereon or by virtue
         thereof, and

                  (ii) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with
         the same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as
         if the Agent were the absolute owner thereof;

PROVIDED that the Agent shall give the Company not less than twenty days' prior
written notice of the time and place of any sale or other intended disposition
of any of the Collateral, except any Collateral which is perishable or threatens
to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily

                                        6

<PAGE>   172



sold on a recognized market. The Company agrees that such notice constitutes
"reasonable notification" within the meaning of Section 9-504(3) of the UCC.


SECTION 6.  Remedies upon Event of Default
            ------------------------------
                  (A) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Agent may exercise on behalf of the Secured Parties all rights of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such
rights are exercised). The Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser
of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the
Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type
which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at any
private sale). The Company will execute and deliver such documents and take such
other action as the Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such
sale may be made in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Agent shall have
the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the
Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so
sold to it absolutely and free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind,
including any equity or right of redemption of the Company which may be waived,
and the Company, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all
rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law
now existing or hereafter adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale required by
Section 6 shall (1) in case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for
such sale, and (2) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such
sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or
times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Agent
may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold
in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Agent may determine.
The Agent shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such
notice. The Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time
or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or
any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so
sold may be retained by the Agent until the selling price is paid by the
purchaser thereof, but the Agent shall not incur any liability in case of the
failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in
case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice.
The Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security
Interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or
decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.

                  (B) For the purpose of enforcing any and all rights and
remedies under this Agreement the Agent may (i) require the Company to, and the
Company agrees that it will, at its expense and upon the request of the Agent,
forthwith assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Agent
and make it available at a place designated by the Agent which is, in its
opinion, reasonably convenient to the Agent and the Company, whether at the
premises of the Company or otherwise, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable
law, enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any
premise where any of the Collateral is or may be located, and without charge or
liability to it seize and remove such Collateral from such premises, (iii) have
access to and use the Company's books and records relating to the Collateral and
(iv) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store or transfer it without
charge in or by means of any storage or transportation facility owned or leased
by the Company, process, repair or recondition it or otherwise prepare it for
disposition in any manner and to the extent the Agent deems appropriate and, in
connection with such preparation and disposition, use without charge any
trademark, trade name, copyright, patent or technical process used by the
Company.

SECTION 7.  Limitation on Duty of Agent in Respect of Collateral
            ----------------------------------------------------

                  Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof,
the Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control
or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or
as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining thereto. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care
in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and
shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the
Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or
omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other
agent or bailee selected by the Agent in good faith.


SECTION 8.  Application of Proceeds
            -----------------------

                  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part
of the Collateral and any cash held in the Collateral Accounts shall be applied
by the Agent in the following order of priorities:

                  FIRST, to payment of the expenses of such sale or other
         realization, and all expenses, incurred or made by the Agent in 
         connection therewith;

                  SECOND, to the ratable payment of unpaid principal of the
         Secured Obligations;

                  THIRD, to the ratable payment of accrued but unpaid interest
         on the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the
         Purchase Agreement;

                  FOURTH, to the ratable payment of all other Secured
         Obligations, if any, until all Secured Obligations shall have been paid
         in full; and

                  FINALLY, to payment to the Company or its successors or
         assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any
         surplus then remaining from such proceeds.

The Agent may make distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable
basis, in any combination thereof.


SECTION 9.  Termination of Security Interests; Release of Collateral
            --------------------------------------------------------

                  Upon the repayment in full of all Secured Obligations, the
Security Interests shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert
to the Company. At any time and from time to time prior to such termination of
the Security Interests, the Agent may release any of the Collateral with the
prior written consent of the Required Sellers. Upon any such termination of the
Security Interests or release of Collateral, the Agent will, at the expense of
the Company, execute and deliver to the Company such documents as the Company
shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the Security Interests
or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

be given in accordance with Section 8.10 of the Purchase Agreement.


SECTION 11.  Waivers, Non-Exclusive Remedies
             -------------------------------

                  No failure on the part of the Agent to exercise, and no delay
in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise by the Agent or any Secured Party of any right under the Purchase
Agreement, or this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right. The rights in this Agreement are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.


SECTION 12.  Successors and Assigns
             ----------------------

                  This Agreement is for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured
Parties and their successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment of
all or any of the Secured Obligations, the rights hereunder, to the extent
applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such
indebtedness. This Agreement shall be binding on the Company and its successors
and assigns.


SECTION 13.  Changes in Writing
             ------------------

                  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only in writing signed by
the Company and the Agent with the consent of the Required Sellers.


SECTION 14.  NEW YORK LAW
             ------------

                  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES
OR CONFLICTS OF LAW), EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF
LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT REMEDIES PROVIDED BY THE LAWS OF ANY
JURISDICTION OTHER THAN NEW YORK ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.


SECTION 15.  Severability
             ------------

                  If any provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other
provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and
shall be liberally construed in favor of the Agent and the other Secured Parties
in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be
possible; and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in
any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

indebtedness under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of March 15, 1996 (as
amended, the "Credit Agreement"), among PhoneTel, Internationale Nederlanden

$10,000,000, in the case of clause (i), or (B) the amounts outstanding under the
Credit Agreement, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii); provided further,
however, that any partial prepayment shall be applied to the amounts due
hereunder in the inverse order of their maturities.

be made without set-off or counterclaim.

         No delay on the part of the Seller in exercising any of its options,
powers or rights, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a
waiver thereof. The options, powers and rights of the Seller specified herein
are in addition to those otherwise created.

         By acceptance of this Note, Seller acknowledges and agrees that this
Note is the obligation solely of the Buyer, and that no officer, director,

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------

Board of Directors
Payphones of America, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Payphones
of America, Inc. (a Tennessee corporation) and subsidiary as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Payphones of
America, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.


<PAGE>   185


     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note
B, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has limited
liquidity which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note B. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           December 31, 1995 and 1994

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

1.      THE COMPANY

Payphones of America, Inc. operates, services and maintains a system of
approximately 2,800 pay telephones in the Southeastern and Midwestern United
States.

2.      PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation .

3.      ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly,
no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible,
they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.

4.      PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to
operations over their estimated service lives. Leased property under capital
leases is amortized over the service lives of the assets for those leases which
substantially transfer ownership. The straight-line method of depreciation is
followed for substantially all assets for financial reporting purposes, but
accelerated methods are used for tax purposes. Future income taxes resulting
from depreciation temporary differences have been provided for.

5.      INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Site location contracts are exclusive rights to operate pay telephones at
various locations acquired through business combinations and are stated at cost.
Amortization of site contract costs is recorded using the straight-line method
over five years, the expected average lives of the contracts.

The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value of the
net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions. Goodwill is amortized
on a straight-line method over 40 years. The covenants not to compete are being
amortized over their contractual lives of five years. Other intangible assets,
including license agreements and deferred financing costs, are amortized over
the life of the agreements.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

6.      RECOGNITION OF REVENUE

Revenues from coin calls and non-coin calls are recognized as calls are made.
When revenue on a telephone call is recorded, an expense is also recorded for
fees associated with the call.

7.      CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Revenues have a significant concentration of credit risk in the
telecommunications industry. In addition, a significant amount of 1995 revenues
were generated by the Company's pay telephones located in the states of Missouri
(36%) and Virginia (33%). No other area has a disproportionate credit risk.

8.      USE OF ESTIMATES

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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.

NOTE B - GOING CONCERN

The Company has experienced recurring losses and has accumulated losses since
inception of $1,324,816. As of December 31, 1995, the Company's current
liabilities exceed its current assets by $2,196,559. These factors raise doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's
continued existence as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate
sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to comply with
the terms of its debt and lease obligations and to obtain additional financing
or refinancing as may be required. Historically, the Company has generated
sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations and to pay its debt and lease
obligations, and, although it cannot be assured that the Company will be able to
continue as a going concern in view of its present financial condition,
management believes that continued strategic business acquisitions and
improvements in planning and budgeting should enable the Company to meet its
obligations and sustain its operations.

     agreement with Mark Twain Bank. Interest is payable monthly at 1.50% over
     the bank's corporate base rate (8.50% at December 31, 1995). The line of

NOTE E - INCOME TAXES

     The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No.109 "Accounting For Income Taxes" (SFAS).
     Under the liability method specified by SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and
     liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial
     statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the
     enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse.
     Deferred tax income and expense is the result of changes in deferred tax
     assets and liabilities. The principal types of differences between assets
     and liabilities for financial statement and tax return purposes are
     accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization.

NOTE L - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On February 7, 1996, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was signed into
     law. The Act recognizes that independent public payphone providers are
     entitled to fair rules to compete with the Regional Bell Operating
     Companies and other local exchange companies. For instance, the Act
     prohibits Bell operating companies from subsidizing payphone service
     directly or indirectly with revenues generated from their exchange or
     access services. Bell companies are also prohibited from discriminating in
     favor of their payphone services. The legislation directs the Federal
     Communications Commission to develop fair rules in implementing the
     payphone provision within nine months. The potential impact of this Act on
     the financial position of the Company is unknown at this time.


NOTE M - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, trade
     receivables, trade payables and debt instruments. The book values of cash
     and trade payables are representative of their fair values due to the
     short-term maturity of these instruments. The book value of the Company's
     debt instruments is considered to approximate their fair value at December
     31, 1995, based on market rates and conditions.

        carrier, shall be more than 30 days past due;

such defaults by the Borrower under Section 6.2.5 of the Credit Agreement, and
ING and Cerberus hereby waive such defaults solely for the months of May, June

Revolving B Loans to be made on the date of this Agreement in the amount of
2,000,000, the sum of $60,000 for the ratable account of each Lender as payment
in full of the Amendment Fee.

Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and
effect in accordance with their respective terms, except as expressly amended or
