Nextel International, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Nextel"), Top Mega
Enterprises Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of Nextel ("Top Mega"), and Infocom Communications Network, Inc., a Philippine

RECITALS
A. Gotesco has loaned to the Company a total of PP52,409,600.00 and
U.S.$4,018,617.40 as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (the "Advances").
B. Under the bylaws of the Company adopted at the time that Top Mega
became a stockholder of the Company and under the Stockholders Agreement (the
"Stockholders Agreement") dated as of June 21, 1996 by and among the Company and
the stockholders of the Company (the "Stockholders"), Top Mega has no
involvement in the day-to-day management, operations and financial control of
the Company. The Stockholders have agreed to make certain changes to the
corporate governance of the Company as set forth in the amended bylaws of the
Company, this Agreement and similar agreements with other Stockholders (the
"Other Restructuring Agreements") that, in compliance with Philippine law,
together will give Top Mega certain limited veto rights over the management of
the Company, and in consideration therefor, Nextel has agreed to purchase
certain loans to the Company from certain of the Stockholders set forth on
Schedule B hereto (the "Stockholder Loans").

principal amount of the Advances (the "Initial Advances"), and certain accrued
interest thereon, pursuant to a Loan Purchase and Amendment Agreement by and
among Gotesco, Nextel and the Company (the "Loan Purchase Agreement"). Gotesco
now desires to sell to Nextel, and Nextel desires to purchase from Gotesco, the
remaining approximately 75% in principal amount of the Advances (the "Remaining
Advances"), as well as the unpaid balance of the outstanding accrued interest on
the Initial Advances, if any, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

D. Gotesco, Nextel and the Company desire to document and convert the
Remaining Advances into a promissory note convertible into Common Stock of the
Company pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof (the "Note").
E. Nextel is simultaneously herewith purchasing certain advances from
Foodcamp Industries and Marketing, Inc. ("Foodcamp") and Jetcom Inc. ("Jetcom")
on terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions set
forth herein.
F. The parties hereto desire to make certain other agreements relating to
the corporate governance of the Company.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good
and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
to this Agreement agree as follows:
1. Purchase of Remaining Advances.
1.1 Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Nextel agrees to purchase at the Closing and Gotesco agrees to sell to Nextel
the Remaining Advances having a principal amount of U.S.$3,997,719.47, all in
accordance with the Deed of Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit A. The
purchase price (the "Purchase Price") of the portion of the Advances purchased
hereunder shall be the equivalent of U.S.$3,977,719.47, payable in Philippine
Pesos. To the extent that Nextel did not pay the full amount of accrued interest
on the Initial Advances as of the date of the purchase of such Advances under
the Loan Purchase Agreement, Nextel shall pay at the Closing the amount of any
such deficit. To the extent that Nextel paid in excess of the full amount of
accrued interest on the Initial Advances as of the date of the purchase of such
Advances under the Loan Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be reduced
by the amount of any such excess payment. Simultaneously with the Closing, the
Company shall pay Gotesco all interest accrued on the Remaining Advances.
1.2 Closing; Delivery. The closing of the transactions contemplated
hereby (the "Closing") shall take place on April 9, 1998, or on such other date
as Gotesco and Nextel mutually agree, following the satisfaction or waiver of
the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 4, at the offices of the
Company, 16/F, Centerpoint Building, Xxxxx Xxxxxx Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig,
M.M., Republic of Philippines. At the Closing, Gotesco shall deliver to each of
the Company and Nextel the Deed of Assignment, which shall be duly acknowledged
by the Company and Nextel, against payment of the Purchase Price by Nextel on or
before Closing by check or by wire transfer to Gotesco's bank account or to such
bank accounts as Gotesco has specified or hereinafter may specify.
1.3 Currency Adjustment. The parties hereto will use their reasonable
best efforts to arrange a back-to-back currency conversion to reduce or
eliminate to the extent possible any foreign exchange risks relating to the
conversion of Nextel's payment to Gotesco
-2-
3
from U.S. Dollars to Pesos and the conversion by Gotesco of such amount from
Pesos to U.S. Dollars. If the parties are unable to arrange such a back-to-back
conversion, then within one day after the receipt of the Peso payment by Gotesco
from Nextel, Gotesco shall convert the Purchase Price into U.S. Dollars at the
most favorable rate reasonably obtainable by Gotesco. If the sum of (a) the U.S.
Dollar amount so received by Gotesco and (b) the U.S. Dollar amount received by
Gotesco upon conversion of the Philippine Peso amount paid by Nextel for the
Initial Advances (together, the "Dollar Amount") is less than U.S.$5,428,721.88
as the result of a decline in the U.S. Dollar - Peso exchange rate of more than
one Peso from the actual exchange rate received by Nextel upon conversion of the
Purchase Price to Pesos, Nextel shall make an adjustment payment to Gotesco,
payable in U.S. Dollars, equal to the difference between 75% of
U.S.$5,428,721.88 and 75% of the Dollar Amount. If the Dollar Amount is greater
than U.S.$5,428,721.88 as the result of an appreciation in the U.S. Dollar -
Peso exchange rate of more than one Peso from the actual exchange rate received
by Nextel upon conversion of the Purchase Price to Pesos, Gotesco shall make an
adjustment payment to Nextel, payable in U.S. Dollars, equal to the difference
between 75% of the Dollar Amount and 75% of U.S.$5,428,721.88. This adjustment
mechanism shall not apply if Gotesco shall not have converted the Purchase Price
to U.S. Dollars one day after its receipt of payment from Nextel.
2. Amendment of Note.
(a) Simultaneously with the Purchase, the Company shall issue the
Note in favor of Nextel in the form attached as Exhibit B, to be convertible, at
the election of the holder thereof, into the number of shares of Common Stock of
the Company (the "Common Stock") determined as set forth in the Note.
(b) The parties hereto agree that Section 2(a) of the Convertible
Subordinated Promissory Note dated February 9, 1998 issued in connection with
the Loan Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its
entirety as follows:
"(a) AT THE HOLDER'S OPTION. At the Holder's option, all or any
amount of the principal of and accrued interest on this Note and any
other convertible promissory notes issued by the Company which the
Holder and the holders of any such other convertible notes shall have
elected to convert (together with this Note, the "Notes") may at any
time be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company equal to the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
immediately prior to conversion multiplied by a fraction with the
numerator being the amount of principal of and interest on the Notes
(together, the "Conversion Amount") and the denominator being the
Company Valuation (as defined below); provided that if the Philippine
Peso shall have depreciated against the U.S. Dollar between the date
hereof and the date of conversion, the numerator in the preceding
clause shall be multiplied by a fraction having a numerator equal to
the average of the buy and sell exchange rate for the Philippine Peso
against the U.S. dollar as published by The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A. as of the close of business
-3-
4
on the day prior to such conversion and a denominator equal to forty
(40). The "Company Valuation" shall initially be PP3,400,000,000
minus, if the Company sells or otherwise transfers its paging
business and if a dividend or other distribution of any or all of the
proceeds from such transfer shall have been provided to the Company's
stockholders, the valuation of such business at the time of such
transfer as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors. If the paging business is valued in U.S. dollars, such
valuation will be converted into Philippine Pesos at a 40 to 1
exchange rate; provided that if the Philippine Peso shall have
depreciated against the U.S. dollar below such rate, such valuation
will be converted into U.S. dollars at the average of the buy and
sell exchange rate for the Philippine Peso against the U.S. dollar as
published by the Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. as of the date of such
transfer."

(c) The Go Put Price shall be increased in an amount (such amount
being denominated, at Nextel's option, in either Pesos or U.S. Dollars) equal to

the devaluation of the Peso between the date such Advances were made, calculated
based on the average of the buy and sell rates for the Peso against the U.S.
Dollar as published by The Chase Manhattan Bank N.A. on such dates, and 40 Pesos
per U.S. Dollar.
(d) The Go Put Right shall automatically terminate and be of no
further force and effect if (i) any of the Go Holders Transfer or have
Transferred any of the shares of capital stock of the Company owned by them as

any of the terms of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 8.1 shall
prevent the Go Holders from transferring shares of the Common Stock in
accordance with Sections 5 and 6 of the Stockholders Agreement.

Go Holders breach their obligations under this Agreement or under the Credit
Agreement. Nextel and the selling Stockholders will close the purchase of any
such Shares within 30 days after the end of the Call Period.
(b) Regardless of the Go Holders' percentage ownership of the
Company during the Call Period and regardless of whether the Go Holders shall
have Transferred any of the Shares held by them, the Call Price shall equal, at
Nextel's option, either U.S.$579,081 or 23,163,240 Pesos for each percentage
interest in the Company (based on the capitalization of the Company as of the
date of Closing, not assuming the conversion of any convertible securities)
owned by the Go Holders that is purchased by Nextel or its Affiliates. If
-9-
10
Nextel purchases from the Go Holders a fraction of a percentage interest of the
Company, the Call Price for such fraction shall be pro-rated.
8.3 Assignment of Go Put Right and Nextel Call Right. In connection
with the transfer or sale by Nextel of all or any portion of its interest in the
Company (a "Nextel Transfer") to a third party (the "Transferee"), Nextel may
assign to the Transferee (i) all or a portion of the obligations of Nextel in
connection with the Go Put Right as set forth in Section 8.1 and (ii) all or a
portion of the rights of Nextel in connection with the Nextel Call Right as set
forth in Section 8.2; provided Nextel shall remain liable for all of its
obligations upon exercise of the Go Put Right or the Nextel Call Right in the
event the Transferee fails to perform its obligations in connection with the Go
Put Right or the Nextel Call Right; provided, further, that to the extent Nextel
makes any payment upon the Transferee's failure to perform, Nextel shall be
entitled to the benefits of the Nextel Call Right or Go Put Right in proportion
to Nextel's payment.
9. Capital Contributions. Neither Nextel nor Gotesco shall be required to
make capital contributions or shareholders loans to the Company; provided that
if any Stockholder makes a capital contribution to the Company, the Company
shall issue to such Stockholder shares of Common Stock representing a percentage
ownership of the Company (excluding any convertible securities) equal to (a) the
amount of such capital contribution in U.S. Dollars as of the date of such
capital contribution divided by (b) the sum of 3,400,000,000 Pesos and the U.S.
Dollar amount of any capital contributions since the date hereof, including such
capital contribution, all converted into U.S. Dollars based on the average of
the buy and sell rates for the Peso against the U.S. Dollar as published by The

Stockholder makes any loans to the Company, such loans shall be made in
accordance with the Credit Agreement.

arising from this Agreement, the parties expressly agree that (i) parallel
judicial or arbitration actions against such non-parties may be commenced in an
appropriate forum and (ii) the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate in
resolving such disputes with non-parties, and shall not obstruct or delay such
