<PAGE>
(a) As of May 16, 1996, Ventures III is the record owner of 644,397 shares
of Common Stock and Investors is the record owner of 8,223 shares of Common
Stock. (The shares of Common Stock held of record by Ventures III and Investors
are referred to herein collectively as the "Record Shares"). By virtue of the
affiliate relationships among the Summit Entities, each Summit Entity may be
deemed to own beneficially all of the Record Shares. Hence, each Summit Entity
may be deemed to own beneficially 652,620 shares of Common Stock. In its
capacity as general partner of Ventures III, Partners III, may be deemed to own
beneficially 644,397 shares of Common Stock. In its capacity as general partner
of Partners III, Stamps, Woodsum & Co. III, may be deemed to own beneficially
644,397 shares of Common Stock. In their capacities as individual general
partners of Stamps, Woodsum & Co. III, each of Messrs. Stamps, Woodsum, Jacquet,
Mannion, Genest, Avis, Evans, Kortschak and Roberts may be deemed to own
beneficially 644,397 shares of Common Stock. In their capacities as individual
general partners of Investors, each of Messrs. Stamps, Woodsum, Jacquet, Evans,
Avis, Mannion, Genest, Kortschak and Roberts may be deemed to own beneficially
8,223 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons together could be deemed to
constitute a "group" for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as a consequence of certain
provisions of the Shareholders Agreement (as defined in Item 6). If
characterized as a "group," each Reporting Person could be deemed to own all of
the Stockholders Agreement. Without giving effect to any such possible
characterization as a group resulting from Investors and Ventures III being
parties to the Stockholders Agreement, if each Reporting Person were deemed to
be the beneficial owner of all the Record Shares, the Reporting Persons as of
the date hereof may, as a result of the Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, be deemed to beneficially own the amount of outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company indicated in the table below:
Percent of Class:
Summit Ventures III, L.P.: 6.36%

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
Securities of the Issuer.
Each of Ventures III and Investors is a party to the A+ Shareholders'
Option and Sales Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1996 (the "Shareholders
Agreement"), by and among Metrocall, Inc. a Delaware corporation ("Metrocall"),
and Ray D. Russenberger, Brownlee O. Currey, Jr., Charles A. Emling III, Irby C.
Simpkins, Jr., Elliott H. Singer, Investors and Summit Ventures III (the
"Principal Shareholders"). The Shareholders Agreement grants Metrocall certain
rights with respect to the Common Stock owned by each Principal Shareholder and
the related Rights (the "Owned Shares"). The Owned Shares subject to the
Shareholders Agreement aggregate 5,525,543 shares of voting common stock,
representing approximately 53.8% of the Shares outstanding on May 16, 1996. All
of Investors' and Ventures III's Owned Shares are subject to the Shareholders
Agreement. The principal terms of the Shareholders Agreement are as follows:
Sale of Shares. The Shareholders Agreement provides that, subject to and
conditioned upon the consummation of the Offer, each of the Principal
Shareholders will sell to Metrocall a number of Shares equal to 40% of each of
their Owned Shares (the "Cash Purchase Shares") for a cash purchase price of
$21.10 per Share, or such higher price as shall be paid for Shares tendered
<PAGE>
pursuant to the Offer. The Cash Purchase Shares constitute 2,210,217 shares or
approximately 21.5% of the outstanding Shares as of May 16, 1996.
Voting Agreement and Proxy. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, each
Principal Shareholder agreed during the term of the Shareholders Agreement to
vote in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of May 16, 1996, between Metrocall and the Company (the "Merger
Agreement"), and against (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, rights offering, reorganization, recapitalization or liquidation
involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any sale or transfer of a
material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the
issuance of any securities of the Company or any subsidiary or (iii) any change
in the Board of Directors of the Company. The Agreement also irrevocably
appoints Metrocall or its officers as each Principal Shareholder's proxy during
the Option Period to vote all Owned Shares (other than Shares purchased by
Metrocall) as specified above. The Proxy is exercisable only during the Option
Period (defined below).
The Principal Shareholders also granted Metrocall certian options to
purchase Shares, each subject to a separate act of conditions.
Scenario I Option. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, each Principal
Shareholder granted Metrocall an irrevocable option (the "Scenario I Option" )
to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Owned Shares other than the Cash
Purchase Shares previously purchase by Metrocall and certain Owned Shares of Mr.
Russenberger (the "Scenario I Option Shares") which are subject to previous
options in favor of certain employees of the Company (the "RR Option Shares").
The Scenario I Option may be exercised by Metrocall following satisfaction
of the Exercise Conditions (defined below) for a period commencing upon the
later to occur of (i) 61 days after Metrocall has delivered the Evidence of
Financing (as defined below) and (ii) the receipt by Metrocall of a Regulatory
Order from the FCC and ending on the earlier of six months after the
<PAGE>
closing of the purchase by Metrocall of the Cash Purchase Shares or the
termination of the Shareholders Agreement in accordance with its terms (the
"Option Period"). Should Metrocall elect to exercise the Scenario I Option,
Metrocall will be obligated to furnish to the Company evidence of financing (the
"Evidence of Financing") enabling it to finance the offer to repurchase the
Company's 11 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with the terms of the
Change In Control provisions of the Indenture issued by the FCC with respect to
the FCC licenses of the Company (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as to which
(i) no request for stay by the FCC of the action or order is pending, no such
stay is in effect, and, if any deadline for filing any such request is
designated by statute or regulation, it has passed; and (ii) with respect to an
action taken or order issued by the FCC granting consents to the Merger, such
consent shall be without material adverse conditions, other than conditions that
have been agreed to by the Company and Metrocall or that are routine conditions
with respect to transfers of this nature.
The Exercise Conditions, each of which is required to be satisfied prior to
the exercise of the Scenario I Option, are: (i) the occurrence of the closing of
the purchase by Metrocall of the Cash Purchase Shares; (ii) the valid approval
and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of Metrocall; and (iii)
the absence of any material breach by Metrocall of its obligations and
agreements in the Merger Agreement.
Scenario II Transactions. The Shareholders Agreement provides that
Metrocall shall purchase the Adjusted Owned Shares (as defined below) upon the
occurrence of a Scenario II Trigger Event. A Scenario II Trigger Event shall
have occurred if (i) prior to expiration of the tender offer called for by the
Merger Agreement (the "Offer"), the Company receives an acquisition proposal (a
proposal relating to a possible acquisition of the Company by merger or purchase
of assets, or tender offer for more than 5% of if the Shares) or the proposal to
adopt the Merger Agreement shall not have been adopted by the shareholders of
the Company and all Shares owned by Metrocall are voted in favor of the
proposal, (ii) the Offer expires in accordance with its terms
<PAGE>
without any Shares accepted for payment in circumstances in which all conditions
to the Offer other than the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) or a condition relating to an injunction enjoining the Merger shall
have been satisfied, and (iii) within two business days after the expiration of
the Offer, Metrocall gives notice to the Company and Principal Shareholders of
its election not to terminate the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms
based on (i) the failure of the shareholders of the Company to approve the
proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, (ii) the withdrawal by the Company's
board of directors of its approval of the Merger Agreement or their failure to
recommend against another acquisition proposal or (iii) the execution of an
agreement in principle relating to another acquisition proposal or other
business combination with a person other than Metrocall.
The "Adjusted Owned Shares" is such number of Shares, as determined by
Metrocall, that in the aggregate is greater than 40%, but does not exceed 49.9%
(or such lesser percentage as may be required by applicable law), of the issued
and outstanding Shares on the date of calculation. The RR Option Shares will be
disregarded for purposes of calculating the Adjusted Owned Shares.
Scenario II Option. Subject to the Closing of the sale of the Adjusted
Owned Shares, Metrocall is obligated under the Shareholders Agreement to use its
reasonable best efforts to commence a new tender offer, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, including the receipt of requisite FCC regulatory approvals,
pursuant to which Metrocall shall offer to purchase no less than the number of
shares constituting the Minimum Condition for the Offer at a price no less than
the highest price offered in the Offer ("Scenario II Tender Offer"). In such
event, and subject to and conditioned upon the purchase of Shares pursuant to
the Scenario II Tender Offer, Metrocall has an exclusive and irrevocable option
during the Option Period, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Owned
Shares other than Adjusted Owned Shares previously purchased by Metrocall and
the RR Option Shares (the "Scenario II Option Shares"), which option (the
<PAGE>
"Scenario II Option") shall have the same terms and conditions (other than the
number of shares to be purchased) as the Scenario I Option.
Scenario II Mandatory Share Purchase. Subject to the Closing of the sale of
the Adjusted Owned Shares, in the event that a Scenario II Tender Offer expires
without Metrocall purchasing any shares, the Shareholders Agreement obligates
Metrocall to use its reasonable best efforts to acquire as soon as practicable
the remainder of the Scenario II Option Shares. In such event, Metrocall shall
have an exclusive and irrevocable option during the Option Period ("Mandatory
Option") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the remainder of the
Scenario II Option Shares and Metrocall shall be required to exercise such
option as promptly as possible. Metrocall is also prohibited from affecting the
Merger unless prior to the Effective Time, Metrocall shall have exercised the
Mandatory Option, which shall have the same terms and conditions (other than the
number of shares to be purchased) as the Scenario I Option.
Termination. The Shareholders Agreement terminates on the earlier of (i)
the expiration of the Option Period, (ii) the purchase by Metrocall of all Owned
Shares (other than the RR Option Shares) pursuant to Shareholders Agreement,
(iii) the agreement of the parties to the Shareholders Agreement to terminate
the Shareholders Agreement, (iv) consummation of the Merger, (v) two business
days after termination or expiration of the Offer without the purchase of any
Shares pursuant thereto unless Metrocall shall have purchased shares following a
Scenario II Trigger Event in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement, and
(vi) termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms, and in any event
the Shareholders Agreement shall terminate on March 16, 1997.
