$225,000 per year pursuant to such agreement, subject to such adjustment in
future years as was agreed upon by the Committee and Mr. Eitan. Mr. Eitan's
agreement did not specify the circumstances under which such base salary may be

Presently, Mr. Eitan serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the

during the term of the agreement and for a period of three years thereafter. He

During 1994, the Corporation entered into one year employment
agreements with each of Yoram Bibring, John Egidio, William Opet and Andrew
Siegel. The term of each of these agreements is automatically extended for an
additional year unless the Corporation or the respective executive officer
provides the other sixty days' advance notice of its or his desire to terminate
the employment relationship. Pursuant to these agreements, the Corporation is
obligated to pay each of these executives a base salary at least equal to the
base salary such executive received during 1994. The actual compensation payable
to each of these executives shall be determined by the Compensation Committee.
These executives are also eligible to receive annual bonuses in amounts
determined by the Compensation Committee based upon such executive's performance
and the operating results and financial condition of the Corporation. In

plans and arrangements which are generally available to the Corporation's
executive officers.
The Corporation may terminate the employment agreement with any of
Messrs. Bibring, Egidio, Opet or Siegel for "cause" (as defined in the
respective employment agreements) or in the event of the death or incapacity of
such executive. In the event the Corporation terminates Messrs. Bibring, Egidio,
Opet or Siegel for another reason, such executive will generally be entitled to
six months salary, in the case of Messrs. Bibring and Opet, or ninety days
salary in the case of Messrs. Egidio and Siegel. Upon certain "changes of

reimburse such officer for tax liabilities incurred as a result of such change
of control payments. In addition, all stock options granted to Mr. Bibring, Mr.
Siegel and Mr. Opet will vest upon certain changes of control.

equal to the fair market value of the Corporation's Common Stock on the date of
grant. The grant of such options are subject to the approval of the
Corporation's stockholders at the Corporation's annual meeting scheduled for
June 22, 1995 of a proposed amendment to the Corporation's 1989 Stock Option
Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under such
-7-

stock option plan. Employee directors do not receive any additional compensation
for serving as directors of the Corporation. Directors are reimbursed for
expenses related to their attendance at Board of Directors meetings. If the
proposed amendments to the Corporation's 1989 Stock Option Plan are approved at

residence from the Philadelphia, PA area (the former site of the Corporation's
headquarters) to the Ramsey, NJ area (the site of the Corporation's new
headquarters at that time), pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Eitan
received a three year $25,000 loan from the Corporation. This loan accrued
interest at a rate of 8% and was repaid during 1994.
In October 1992, Yaron Eitan purchased from the Corporation 100,000
shares of Common Stock and 100,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock, at an
exercise price of $3.10 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $185,000.
Of such purchase price, $30,000 was paid in cash and the remainder was loaned by
the Corporation to Mr. Eitan at an interest rate of prime plus 1%, to be paid
within 12 months of the date of purchase. The term of this loan has been
extended to October 1995. The outstanding balance of this loan (including
accrued interest) on December 31, 1994 was $180,654.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and related transactions
Set forth below is a description concerning transactions which may not
otherwise be described herein by and between the Corporation and/or its
affiliates and other persons or entities affiliated with the Corporation or its
affiliates. The Corporation is of the view that each of such transactions was on
terms no less favorable to the Corporation than would otherwise have been
available to the Corporation in transactions with unaffiliated third parties, if
available at all.
In February 1992, George Calhoun purchased from the Corporation 100,000
shares of Common Stock and 100,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock, at an
exercise price of $3.10 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $185,000.
Of such purchase price, $35,000 was paid in cash and the remainder was loaned by
the Corporation to Mr. Calhoun at an interest rate of 7%. The largest amount of
indebtedness owed by Mr. Calhoun to the Corporation during 1994 pursuant to this
loan was $150,000. Mr. Calhoun repaid this loan in 1994.
On December 15, 1993, the Corporation sold 444,445 shares of Series H Stock
to S-C Rig, an entity affiliated with Messrs. George Soros and Purnendu
Chatterjee, a director of the Corporation, for an aggregate consideration of
$40,050,000. In connection with this transaction, the Corporation entered into a
consulting agreement with Valcoflex Management Co. an affiliate of S-C Rig
("Valcoflex"), pursuant to which Valcoflex will provide certain advisory
services for a fee of $25,000 per month. The agreement terminates on the earlier
to occur of December 15, 2000 and such date that S-C Rig or one of its
affiliates no longer beneficially owns 50% of the shares of the Common Stock
into which the Series H Stock converts (calculated on a fully diluted basis).
On January 27, 1994, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Metro Net Agreement") with Metro Net Systems, Inc. ("Metro Net") and Metro
Net's shareholders dated December 9, 1993, the Corporation issued 3,112,500
shares of Common Stock to the shareholders of Metro Net upon the merger of Metro
Net into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the
"Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the Metro Net Agreement, Richard Krants, the
President and Chief Executive Officer of Metro Net prior to the transaction, was
appointed to the Corporation's Board of Directors at the effective time of the
Merger. In connection with this transaction, the Corporation entered into a
consulting agreement with Mr. Krants pursuant to which he agreed to provide
consulting services related to the management and construction of the
Corporation's Specialized Mobile Radio networks in exchange for annual
consideration of $75,000 and an option to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock
at a price of $9.50 per share vesting over three years. This consulting
agreement is scheduled to terminate in December 1995.
On February 23, 1994, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") between the Corporation and Vanguard dated December 29, 1993, the
Corporation sold 2.5 million shares of Common Stock to Vanguard for a total of
$30 million. Vanguard was also granted the right to invest up to an additional
$167 million in a series of related non-transferable options (together, the
"Options") to purchase additional shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from
$15.00 to $18.00 per share over an approximately 48-month period following the
Initial Investment.
-11-
<PAGE> 13
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Vanguard nominated Haynes G. Griffin,
the President and Chief Executive Officer of Vanguard, to the Board of Directors
of the Corporation. In certain circumstances, Vanguard will have the right to
elect one or more additional directors.
Vanguard was granted certain registration rights with respect to the shares
of Common Stock which it purchased and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Options. In addition, Vanguard was granted preemptive rights to
purchase any voting securities of the Corporation, at the same price and same
terms as the Corporation may offer to third parties, in an amount sufficient to
maintain Vanguard's percentage interest in the voting securities of the
Corporation on a fully diluted basis.
Vanguard has agreed not to acquire securities of the Corporation prior to
February 23, 1996 without approval of a majority of the Corporation's Board of
Directors if such acquisition would result in Vanguard holding in excess of
20.1% of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation on a fully diluted
basis, provided, however, that Vanguard may acquire not more than an additional
5% of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation on a fully diluted
basis without approval of the Corporation's Board of Directors if all unexpired
Options are out-of-themoney. Additionally, the Corporation shall have the right
of first offer, prior to February 23, 1998, on any proposed sale of the shares
of Common Stock held by Vanguard if such sale is in an amount equal to or
greater than 10% of the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock.
The Corporation also entered into a five-year management consulting
agreement with Vanguard, pursuant to which Vanguard provides operational and
marketing support to the Corporation for an aggregate of 1.5 million shares of
Common Stock. In February 1995, the Corporation issued 300,000 shares of Common
Stock to Vanguard pursuant to this agreement. Such agreement will terminate, and
the compensation paid thereunder shall cease, upon Vanguard's failure to
exercise any of the Options.
In April 1995, Vanguard agreed to purchase 531,462.5 shares of a newly
created series of the Corporation's preferred stock (the "Series L Stock") for
an aggregate purchase price of $5 million. This transaction was entered into at
the same time that Toronto Dominion Investments, Inc. ("TDI"), an entity not
affiliated with the Corporation or Vanguard, also agreed to purchase 531,462.5
shares of Series L Stock for the same purchase price. Each share of Series L
Stock will be convertible into one share of Common Stock. Each share of Series L
Stock also will entitle the holder thereof to certain voting rights, including
the right to vote on all matters voted on by holders of Common Stock as if such
Series L Stock had already been converted. The stated value of the Series L
Stock will be $9.408 per share, with a cumulative annual preferred dividend of
7.5% of the stated value thereof, payable quarterly through and including the
date in which the Series L Stock is no longer issued and outstanding. The
dividends may be paid in shares of Series L Stock.
The Corporation may, at its option, call the Series L Stock for mandatory
conversion into Common Stock at any time after the average closing price of the
Common Stock is greater than $14.11 (subject to certain adjustments for changes
in the number of shares outstanding) for any forty-five trading days within any
period of sixty trading days. The redemption price will be payable in cash or
shares of Common Stock at the Corporation's option.
The Corporation will also grant Vanguard certain registration rights with
respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable by the Corporation upon
conversion of the Series L Stock and any other shares of Common Stock acquired
by Vanguard. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation will
be automatically increased by two and the holders of the Series L Stock will
have the right to elect the two additional directors. Vanguard's purchase of the
Series L Stock is subject to certain conditions, including the negotiation and
execution of definitive agreements and Vanguard's completion of satisfactory due
diligence. Assuming the satisfaction of these conditions, the Company expects
Vanguard's purchase of the Series L Stock to occur on or about September 1, 1995
(the "Funding Date").
-12-
<PAGE> 14
In connection with Vanguard's purchase of the Series L Stock, the
Corporation agreed to modify the terms of the Options granted to Vanguard under
the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to these modifications, the total number of
shares of Common Stock subject to the Options will be decreased from ten million
shares to seven million shares, with options to purchase two million shares of
Common Stock at $15.00 per share and $16.00 per share expiring on the first
anniversary of the Funding Date and options to purchase three million shares of
Common Stock at $17.00 per share expiring on the second anniversary of the
Funding Date. In the event any Options expire unexercised, all remaining Options
will automatically expire. In addition, Vanguard agreed to assign one-half of
the Options exercisable at $15.00 per share and one-seventh of each of the
Options exercisable at $16.00 and $17.00 per share to TDI. All of the Options
assigned to TDI will operate independent of the Options held by Vanguard.
In April 1994, the Corporation sold to S-C Rig, in a private placement, 20
shares of Series I Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million. Each
share of Series I Stock is convertible into 42,553 shares of Common Stock. Each
share of Series I Stock also entitles the holder thereof to certain voting
rights, including the right to vote on all matters voted on by holders of Common
Stock as if such Series I Stock had already been converted. The stated value of
the Series I Stock is $500,000 per share, with a cumulative annual preferred
dividend of 7% of the stated value thereof, payable quarterly for a five-year
period.
The Corporation may, at its option, call the Series I Stock for mandatory
conversion into Common Stock at any time after the average closing price of the
Common Stock is greater than $17.63 (subject to certain adjustments for changes
in the number of shares outstanding) for any twenty trading days within any
period of thirty consecutive trading days. The redemption price is payable in
cash or shares of Common Stock at the Corporation's option.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, S-C Rig Group shall have certain
registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable by the
Corporation upon conversion of the Series I Stock and any other shares of Common
Stock acquired by the Soros Group. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain
events of default, the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors
of the Corporation will be automatically increased by two and the holders of the
Series I Stock will have the right to elect the two additional directors.
During 1994, the Corporation entered into a consulting agreement with Kevin
Sharer, a director of the Corporation. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Sharer
provided and will continue to provide certain advisory services with respect to
the Corporation's marketing and distribution strategies and operations. In
exchange for these services, the Corporation granted Mr. Sharer options to
purchase 40,000 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock at $10.87 per share
(the market price of the Corporation's Common Stock on the date of grant), which
options vest over three years.
During 1994, the Corporation entered into a joint venture with XTEC
International, Inc. ("XTEC"), an affiliate of Purnendo Chatterjee, to pursue the
acquisition of trunked mobile radio licenses in India. The Corporation and XTEC
each own 50% of this joint venture. This joint venture terminates if no license
has been granted to the joint venture by June 30, 1995, unless the Corporation
and XTEC mutually agree to extend the term of the joint venture. The Corporation
issued XTEC options to purchase 200,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of
$9.25 per share in connection with the formation of this joint venture. These
options are exercisable for a period of five years. In the event the joint
venture is granted a trunked mobile radio license in India, the Corporation will
grant XTEC a five year option to purchase an additional 250,000 shares of Common
Stock at a price of $9.25 per share.
All financial terms of the transactions described above resulted from
negotiations between the parties. All future transactions between the
Corporation and affiliates of the Corporation will be on terms intended to be no
less favorable to the Corporation than could have been realized in an
arm's-length transaction with unaffiliated parties and will be approved by a
majority of the disinterested directors.
