AMENDED AND RESTATED
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND MERGER
This AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND MERGER
(the "Agreement") is made as of March 31, 1998 by and among SUPERSHUTTLE
INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation ("SuperShuttle"); SUPERSHUTTLE
ACQUISITION COMPANY I, an Arizona corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of
SuperShuttle ("Merger Sub"); PREFERRED TRANSPORTATION, INC., a California
corporation ("PTI"); and those PTI shareholders listed on Schedule "1" hereto
(collectively, the "Shareholders" and, individually, a "Shareholder").
RECITALS
A. SuperShuttle and PTI are parties to a letter agreement dated March 2,
1998 (the "Letter of Intent"), which contemplates the acquisition by
SuperShuttle of all of the outstanding capital stock of PTI.
B. SuperShuttle has caused the formation of Merger Sub for the purpose of
effecting the acquisition through a reverse triangular merger with and into PTI.
C. The Shareholders currently and collectively own all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of PTI, with each Shareholder owning the
number of shares set forth opposite such Shareholder's name on Schedule 1.
D. The Shareholders are joined herein for purposes of affirming the
representations and warranties made in Article 3, and to otherwise be bound
hereto for the obligations of PTI for which they are jointly and severally
liable.
E. The parties have determined that it is in their respective interests to
merge Merger Sub with and into PTI (the "Merger") and to undertake such other
actions described herein, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
and agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
THE MERGER
The respective boards of directors of SuperShuttle, Merger Sub and PTI
have, by resolutions duly adopted, approved the following provisions of this
Article 1 as the plan/agreement of merger required by Section 1108 of the
California Corporations Code, as amended (the "California Law") and Section
10-1107 of the Arizona Business Corporation Act, as amended (the "Arizona Law")
(collectively, the "Merger Statutes"), in connection with the Merger:
1.1 The Merger, Incidental Transactions. At the Effective Time (as defined
in Section
1
7
1.3), in accordance with this Agreement, the Agreement and Plan of Merger
attached hereto as Exhibit "1.1" and the Merger Statutes, Merger Sub shall be
merged with and into PTI. The separate corporate existence of Merger Sub (except
as such existence may be continued by operation of law) shall cease, and PTI
shall continue as the surviving corporation. The parties shall use their
reasonable best efforts to undertake a corporate name change for the Surviving
Corporation with the California Secretary of State to "SuperShuttle Orange
County, Inc." when expedient to do so considering the California Public
Utilities Commission (the "PUC") process, among other factors. PTI, in its
capacity as the corporation surviving the Merger, sometimes is referred to
herein as the "Surviving Corporation."
As an incident to the Merger transactions and as a predicate and
condition to them, certain assets are required to be transferred into PTI or
other accommodations made in order to effect the purpose of allowing the
Surviving Corporation to operate the business of PTI as presently conducted. In
this regard, the assets described on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto and
incorporated by reference herein shall be transferred in the manner contemplated
by Schedule 1.1 immediately prior to the Effective Time. It is acknowledged by
the parties hereto that any and all radio frequencies, real estate interests,
permits, and similar assets necessary to the conduct of the business of PTI
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be and become the property of the
Surviving Corporation effective upon the Merger through the processes described
on Schedule 1.1 without any further form of consideration or payment owing to
PTI or any of the Shareholders. The transactions contemplated by Schedule 1.1
are a fundamental part of this Agreement and the consummation of those
transactions is a condition to the effectiveness of the Merger.
1.2 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation
shall possess all the rights, privileges, immunities and franchises of each of
Merger Sub and PTI (collectively, the "Constituent Corporations"); all property,
real, personal and mixed, and all debts, liabilities and duties due on whatever
account, and all and every other interest of or belonging to or due to each of
the Constituent Corporations shall be taken and deemed to be transferred to and
vested in the Surviving Corporation without further act or deed; and the
Surviving Corporation shall be responsible and liable for liabilities and
obligations of each of the Constituent Corporations, in each case in accordance
with the Merger Statutes.
1.3 Consummation of the Merger. As soon as is practicable after the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3
of Article 7, the parties hereto shall cause the Agreement and Articles of
Merger to be delivered to the Arizona Corporation Commission of the State of
Arizona and the Agreement and officers' certificates of each Constituent
Corporation to be delivered to the Secretary of State of the State of
California, in such form as required by and executed in accordance with the
Arizona Law and the California Law, respectively. The Merger shall be effective
at such time as such documents are duly filed with (i) the Arizona Corporation
Commission of the State of Arizona, and (ii) the Secretary of State of the State
of California, which filings shall be made reasonably simultaneously. The date
and time when the Merger shall become effective is referred to as the "Effective
Time." It is contemplated that the conditions to consummation of the Merger will
be satisfied, if at all, on or before March 31, 1998, and that the Effective
Time shall be as soon as practicable following the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 of Article 7 hereof on or
2
8
before March 31, 1998.
1.4 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. The
Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be
restated in the forms of Exhibits "A" and "B" hereto and incorporated herein.
The persons identified on Exhibit "C" shall be the directors and officers of the
Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time.
1.5 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, PTI or the holders of
any of the following securities:
(a) Each share of Common Stock, no par value, of PTI (the "PTI
Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time, other than shares owned by SuperShuttle which shall be converted
into shares of the Surviving Corporation, shall, by virtue of the Merger
and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, automatically
be canceled and extinguished and the total number of outstanding shares of
PTI Common Stock shall be converted into and become a right to receive
915,570 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of SuperShuttle
(the "SuperShuttle Common Stock") (the "Exchange Ratio"), payable to the
Shareholders pro rata to their PTI Common Stock ownership as reflected on
Schedule 1. The aggregate number of shares of SuperShuttle Common Stock to
be issued in order to give effect to this provision will represent
approximately fourteen percent (14%) of the total number of outstanding
shares of SuperShuttle Common Stock when issued.
(b) Each share of PTI Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time and held in the treasury of PTI
shall automatically be canceled and extinguished and no payment shall be
made with respect thereto.
(c) Each share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger
Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
automatically be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable share of Common Stock, no par value per share, of the
Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing
ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such
shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(d) The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect
of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend
or distribution of securities convertible into SuperShuttle Common Stock
or PTI Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like
change with respect to SuperShuttle Common Stock or PTI Common Stock
occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, but shall
not be adjusted for the exercise or conversion of any outstanding
SuperShuttle securities convertible into SuperShuttle Common Stock.
1.6 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of SuperShuttle Common
Stock shall be issued. Fractional shares of such stock shall be rounded to the
nearest whole share.
3
9
1.7 Exchange for Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, each of the
Shareholders shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing shares
of PTI Common Stock to SuperShuttle. Promptly following surrender, SuperShuttle
shall issue the SuperShuttle Common Stock payable to the Shareholders pursuant
to Section 1.5. The certificates of PTI Common Stock surrendered to SuperShuttle
shall be duly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer as SuperShuttle
may require. SuperShuttle shall not be obligated to deliver the consideration to
which any Shareholder is entitled as a result of the Merger until such
Shareholder surrenders his or her certificate or certificates representing the
shares of PTI Common Stock to be exchanged. After the Effective Time, each
outstanding certificate or certificates that represented shares of PTI Common
Stock as of the Effective Time shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to
evidence only the right of the holder thereof to receive such person's share of
the consideration calculated pursuant to Section 1.5 in exchange therefor. No
interest shall be paid or accrued on any consideration payable upon the
surrender of the certificates.
1.8 Closing of PTI Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock
transfer books of PTI shall be closed and no transfer of shares of PTI Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
thereafter be made (except as provided for or contemplated in Section 1.5
above).
1.9 Dissenter's Rights. Subject to Section 7.2(e):
(a) Any shares of capital stock of PTI held by a holder who has
exercised dissenters' rights for such shares in accordance with Chapter 13
of the California Corporations Code and who, as of the Effective Time, has
not effectively withdrawn or lost (through failure to perfect or
otherwise) such dissenters' rights ("Dissenting Shares"), shall not be
converted into or represent a right to receive SuperShuttle Common Stock
pursuant to Section 1.5 but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to
such rights as are granted by applicable corporate law.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), if any holder
of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose his dissenters'
rights, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of
such event, such holder's shares shall automatically be converted into and
represent only the right to receive the Merger consideration set forth in
Section 1.5, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate
or certificates representing such Dissenting Shares.
(c) PTI shall give SuperShuttle (i) prompt notice of any written
demands received by PTI to require PTI to purchase shares of capital stock
of PTI, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served
pursuant to Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code (Dissenters'
Rights) and received by PTI and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all
negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. PTI shall not,
except with the prior written consent of SuperShuttle, voluntarily make
any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle
any such demands.
4
10
1.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates
representing shares of PTI Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, SuperShuttle shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or
destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
holder thereof, such shares of SuperShuttle Common Stock as required pursuant to
Sections 1.5 and 1.6; provided, however, that SuperShuttle may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the
owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver an indemnity
agreement in such form as SuperShuttle may reasonably direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against SuperShuttle with respect to the
certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
1.11 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. SuperShuttle and Merger
Sub, on the one hand, and PTI on the other hand, shall use reasonable best
efforts to take all such actions (including, without limitation, actions to
cause the satisfaction of the conditions of the other to effect the Merger) as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the Merger as promptly as
possible. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is
necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest
the Surviving Corporation with full possession of all the rights, privileges,
immunities and franchises of the Constituent Corporations, or fully subject the
Surviving Corporation to all liabilities and obligations of the Constituent
Corporations, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully
authorized in the name of the Constituent Corporations or otherwise to take, and
shall take, all such lawful and necessary actions.
1.12 Escrow. Concurrent with the filing of the Articles, officers'
certificates and Agreement of Merger as set forth in Section 1.3 above, the
parties shall deliver the stock certificates of SuperShuttle and PTI to be
exchanged to an escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") to hold in escrow pending the
Closing (as defined in Section 1.13), subject to the terms of the Escrow
Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "F."
1.13 Effective Date; Closing. The Effective Date of this Agreement shall
be March 31, 1998. The Closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall occur upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Article 7 of this Agreement, all of which conditions shall be satisfied on or
before the Closing Date or such other date as required by the applicable
conditions, and the escrow is broken.
ARTICLE 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SUPERSHUTTLE
AND MERGER SUB
SuperShuttle and Merger Sub hereby represent and warrant to PTI as of the
date hereof, and again at the Effective Time (subject to any changes permitted
or contemplated hereby), each of the following, except to the extent set forth
in the disclosure schedule that has been delivered to PTI hereunder (the
"SuperShuttle Disclosure Schedule"):
2.1 Organization and Qualification. Each of SuperShuttle and Merger Sub is
a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware and the State of Arizona, respectively, and has
the requisite corporate power and
5
11
authority to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now
conducted in every jurisdiction where the failure to do so would have a material
adverse effect on its business, properties or ability to conduct the business
currently conducted by it. The copies of the Certificate of Incorporation,
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of SuperShuttle and Merger Sub previously
furnished to PTI are correct and complete and reflect all amendments thereto.
2.2 Authority Relative to This Agreement. Each of SuperShuttle and Merger
Sub has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement
and to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by SuperShuttle and Merger Sub and the consummation by SuperShuttle
and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized
by SuperShuttle and Merger Sub, and no other corporate proceedings on the part
of SuperShuttle or Merger Sub are necessary to authorize this Agreement and such
transactions. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
SuperShuttle and Merger Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution and
delivery by PTI, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating
to the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of
equity. Except as set forth in the SuperShuttle Disclosure Schedule, neither
SuperShuttle nor Merger Sub is subject to, or obligated under, any provision of
(a) its Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (b) any material
agreement, arrangement or understanding, (c) any material license, franchise or
permit, or (d) any law, regulation, order, judgment or decree, which would be
breached or violated, or in respect of which a right of termination or
acceleration would arise or any encumbrance on any of its or any of its
subsidiaries' assets would be created, by its execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereby. Except for such filings to be made pursuant to the Merger
Statutes in order to effect the Merger, no authorization, consent or approval
of, or filing with, any public body, court or authority is necessary on the part
of SuperShuttle or Merger Sub for the consummation by SuperShuttle and Merger
Sub of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2.3 Capitalization. The authorized equity capitalization of SuperShuttle
consists of 20,000,000 shares of SuperShuttle Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares
of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("SuperShuttle Preferred Stock").
As of March 31, 1998, 2,760,860 shares of SuperShuttle Common Stock and 479,475
shares of SuperShuttle Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, all of which
shares are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. As of the date hereof,
1,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Merger Sub ("Merger
Sub Common Stock") were issued and outstanding, all of which shares are validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and owned by SuperShuttle.
There are no obligations, contingent or otherwise, of SuperShuttle or any
of its subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of
SuperShuttle Common Stock or the capital stock of any subsidiary or to provide
funds to or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or
otherwise) in any such subsidiary or any other entity. All of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of each of SuperShuttle's subsidiaries are duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, except as
disclosed in the SuperShuttle Disclosure Schedule, all such shares are owned by
SuperShuttle free and clear of
6
12
all security interests, liens, claims, pledges, agreements, limitations in
SuperShuttle's voting rights, charges or other encumbrances of any nature
whatsoever.
2.4 Financial Statements. SuperShuttle has delivered a balance sheet dated
as of January 31, 1998, and other financial statements for the years ended
September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 to PTI (collectively, the
"SuperShuttle Financial Statements.") The SuperShuttle Financial Statements were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on
a consistent basis throughout the periods involved and present fairly the
consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of
SuperShuttle and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates and for the
periods indicated therein, subject, in the case of unaudited interim statements,
to normal year-end accounting adjustments and the absence of complete footnote
disclosure.
2.5 Subsidiaries; Merger Sub. Except as set forth in the SuperShuttle
Disclosure Schedule, SuperShuttle does not have any subsidiaries and does not
otherwise own any stock, partnership interest, joint venture interest, or any
other security issued by or equity interest in any other corporation,
organization or entity. For purposes hereof, the term "subsidiary" means any
corporation of which securities having a majority of the ordinary voting power
in electing directors are owned directly or indirectly by a party. Merger Sub is
not subject to any liabilities, obligations or claims, whether absolute or
contingent, liquidated or unliquidated. Merger Sub was formed solely for the
purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has
not engaged in any business or other activities for any other purpose. Unless
the context requires otherwise, the term "SuperShuttle" shall hereafter refer to
SuperShuttle and/or its Subsidiaries.
2.6 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. SuperShuttle has no obligations or
liabilities (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, liquidated, unliquidated or
otherwise, whether due or to become due and regardless of when asserted), except
(a) obligations under contracts or commitments described in Section 2.6 of the
SuperShuttle Disclosure Schedule; (b) liabilities reflected on the balance sheet
of SuperShuttle as of January 31, 1998 (the "January 31, 1998 SuperShuttle
Balance Sheet") included in the SuperShuttle Financial Statements; (c)
liabilities which have arisen in the ordinary course of business after December
31, 1997 (none of which is an uninsured liability for breach of contract, breach
of warranty, tort, infringement, claim or lawsuit); and (d) liabilities which
are not material in scope or amount.
2.7 No Material Adverse Changes. Except as set forth in the SuperShuttle
Disclosure Schedule, since December 31, 1997, there has not been any material
adverse change in the assets, financial condition or operating results of
SuperShuttle, other than the effect of the businesses acquired since that date.
2.8 Absence of Certain Developments. Except as set forth in the
SuperShuttle Disclosure Schedule or except as contemplated in this Agreement,
since December 31, 1997, SuperShuttle has not:
(a) changed its accounting methods or practices (including any
change in depreciation or amortization policies or rates) or revalued any
of its assets;
7
13
(b) borrowed any amount under existing lines of credit or otherwise
or incurred or become subject to any indebtedness, except as reasonably
necessary for the ordinary operation of SuperShuttle's business and in a
manner and in amounts that are in keeping with the historical practice of
SuperShuttle;
(c) discharged or satisfied any lien or encumbrance or paid any
liability, other than current liabilities and related liens (or current
installments due on intermediate or long-term liabilities) paid or
satisfied in the ordinary course of business;
(d) materially changed the pricing or royalties set or charged by
SuperShuttle to its customers or licensees or agreed to any material
change in the pricing or royalties set or charged by persons who have
licensed Intellectual Property Rights (as described in Section 2.15) to
SuperShuttle; or
(e) suffered any material theft, damage, destruction or loss of or
to any property or properties owned or used by it, whether or not covered
by insurance.
2.9 Title to and Condition of Properties. SuperShuttle owns good and
marketable title to the properties and assets reflected on the December 31, 1997
SuperShuttle Balance Sheet or acquired since the date thereof, free and clear of
all liens and encumbrances, except for (A) liens for current taxes not yet due
and payable, (B) liens described in Section 2.6 of the SuperShuttle Disclosure
Schedule, (C) the properties subject to the leases set forth in Section 2.9 of
the SuperShuttle Disclosure Schedule, and (D) assets disposed of since December
31, 1997, in the ordinary course of business.
2.10 Environmental Matters. Except as set forth in the SuperShuttle
Disclosure Schedule, SuperShuttle (i) has obtained all applicable permits,
licenses and other authorizations (a list of which is set forth in the
SuperShuttle Disclosure Schedule) which are required under federal, state or
local laws relating to pollution or protection of the environment, including
laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of
pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous or toxic materials or wastes into ambient
air, surface water, ground water, or land or otherwise relating to the
manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal,
transport or handling of pollutants, contaminants or hazardous or toxic
materials or wastes by SuperShuttle (or its agents); (ii) is in compliance with
all terms and conditions of any required permits, licenses and authorizations,
and with all other limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards,
prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in
such laws or in any regulation, code, plan, order, decree, judgment, notice or
demand letter issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder; (iii) is not
aware of nor has it received notice of any event, condition, circumstance,
activity, practice, incident, action or plan which is reasonably likely to
interfere with or prevent continued compliance with or which would give rise to
any common law or statutory liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim,
action, suit or proceeding, based on or resulting from SuperShuttle's (or any
agent's) manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage,
disposal, transport, or handling, or the emission, discharge, or release into
the environment, of any pollutant, contaminant, or hazardous or toxic material
or waste; (iv) has taken all actions necessary under applicable requirements of
such federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations to register any products
or materials
8
14
required to be registered by SuperShuttle (or its agents) thereunder; and (v)
has neither disposed of nor handled any hazardous substance.
2.11 Accounts Receivable. SuperShuttle's notes and accounts receivable
recorded on the January 31, 1998 SuperShuttle Balance Sheet arose in the
ordinary course of business and are carried at values determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
2.12 Tax Matters. Except as set forth in the SuperShuttle Disclosure

Property Rights. None of the Intellectual Property Rights is involved in
any pending or threatened litigation. PTI has not received any notice of
invalidity or infringement of any rights of others with respect to such
Intellectual Property Rights. PTI has taken all reasonable and prudent
steps to protect the Intellectual Property Rights from infringement by any
other firm, corporation, association or person. PTI's use of the
Intellectual Property Rights is not infringing upon or otherwise violating
the rights of any third party in or to such Intellectual Property Rights,
nor has such infringement been alleged by any third party. All of the
Intellectual Property Rights are valid and enforceable rights of PTI and
will not cease to be valid and in full force and effect by reason of the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.16 Litigation. Except as set forth in the PTI Disclosure Schedule, there
are no actions, suits, proceedings, orders or investigations pending or, to the
knowledge of PTI, threatened against PTI, at law or in equity, or before or by
any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission,
board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, and there is no
basis known to PTI for any of the foregoing. Except as set forth in the PTI
Disclosure Schedule, PTI has not received any opinion or legal advice to the
effect that PTI is exposed from a legal standpoint to any material liability. No
governmental entity has at any time challenged or questioned the legal right of
PTI to offer or provide any of its services in the present manner or style
thereof.

except as set forth in the PTI Disclosure Schedule, PTI does not presently
maintain, contribute to or have any liability (including current or

(i) nonqualified deferred compensation or retirement plan or arrangement
which is an "employee pension benefit plan" as such term is defined in
Section 3(2) of ERISA, (ii) defined contribution retirement plan or
arrangement designed to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a) of the
Code, which is an employee pension benefit plan, (iii) defined benefit
pension plan or arrangement designed to satisfy the requirements of
Section 401(a) of the Code, which is an employee pension benefit plan,
(iv) "multi-employer plan" as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of
ERISA, (v) unfunded or funded medical, health or life insurance plan or
arrangement for present or future retirees or present or future terminated
employees which is an "employee welfare benefit plan" as such term is
defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, except as required by Section 4980B of
the Code or Sections 601 through 609 of ERISA, or (vi) any other employee
welfare benefit plan.
(b) With respect to each of the employee benefit plans listed in the
PTI Disclosure Schedule, PTI has furnished to SuperShuttle true and
complete copies of (i) the plan documents (including any related trust
agreements), (ii) the most recent determination letter received from the
Internal Revenue Service, (iii) the latest actuarial valuation, (iv) the
latest financial statement, (v) the last Form 5500 Annual Report, and (vi)
all related trust agreements, insurance contracts or other funding
agreements which implement such employee benefit plan. Neither PTI nor any
of its directors, officers, employees or any other "fiduciary," as such
term is defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA, has any liability for failure
to comply with ERISA or the Code for any action or failure to act in
connection with the administration or investment of such plans.
(c) With respect to each plan listed in the PTI Disclosure Schedule:
(i) PTI has performed in all material respects all obligations required to

established and maintained in all material respects in accordance with its
terms and in compliance with all applicable laws, statutes, rules, and
regulations, including but not limited to the Code and ERISA; (ii) there
are no actions, suits or claims pending or, to the knowledge of PTI,

20
26
routine claims for benefits) against any such plan; (iii) each such plan
can be amended or terminated after the Effective Time in accordance with
its terms, without liability to PTI; and (iv) there are no inquiries or
proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of PTI, threatened by the
Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor with respect to any
such plan.

fully insured or the reserves under such contracts are sufficient to pay
claims incurred.
(e) Each plan listed in the PTI Disclosure Schedule that is intended
to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by
the Internal Revenue Service to so qualify and each trust created
thereunder has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be
exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code and, to the knowledge of
PTI, nothing has occurred since the date of the most recent determination
that would be reasonably likely to cause any such plan or trust to fail to
qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code.
3.20 Insurance. The PTI Disclosure Schedule lists and briefly describes
each insurance policy and fidelity bond currently maintained by PTI as well as
each such policy and bond maintained by it for the five years prior to the date
of this Agreement, with respect to its properties, assets, employees and
officers and directors and sets forth the date of expiration of each insurance
policy. All insurance policies listed as currently maintained are in full force
and effect and PTI is not in default with respect to its obligations under any
of such insurance policies. All premiums have been paid and there is no
retroactive premium adjustment obligation of any kind or character. There is no
claim of PTI pending under any of such policies or bonds as to which coverage
has been questioned, denied or disputed by the underwriters of such policies or
bonds. PTI has no knowledge of any threatened termination of, or material
premium increase with respect to, any such policies. To its knowledge, the
insurance coverage of PTI is customary for corporations of similar size engaged
in similar lines of businesses.
3.21 Insider Transactions. Except as set forth herein or in the PTI
Disclosure Schedule, no officer, director or shareholder of PTI or any member of
the immediate family of any such officer, director or shareholder, or any entity
in which any of such persons owns any beneficial interest (other than a
publicly-held corporation whose stock is traded on a national securities
exchange or in the over-the-counter market and less than 5% of the stock of
which is beneficially owned by any of such persons) (collectively "Insiders"),
has any agreement with PTI or any interest in any property, real, personal or
mixed, tangible or intangible, used in or pertaining to the business of PTI nor
has had any such agreement or interest for the five years prior to the date of
this Agreement. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the members of the
immediate family of an officer, director or shareholder shall consist of the
spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers- and fathers-in-law, sons- and
daughters-in-law, and brothers- and sisters-in-law of such officer, director or
shareholder. A list of all payments made to or for the
21
27
benefit of any Insiders during the prior five years is included within Section
3.21 of the PTI Disclosure Schedule.
3.22 Compliance With Laws; Permits; Certain Operations. PTI and its
officers, directors, agents and employees have complied in all material respects
with all applicable laws and regulations of foreign, federal, state and local
governments and all agencies thereof which affect the business or any owned or
leased properties of PTI and to which PTI may be subject, and no claims have
been filed against PTI alleging a violation of any such law or regulation,
except as set forth in the PTI Disclosure Schedule. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, PTI has not violated, or received a notice or
charge asserting any violation of, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970, or any other state or federal acts (including rules and regulations
thereunder) regulating or otherwise affecting employee health and safety. PTI
has not given or agreed to give any money, gift or similar benefit (other than
incidental gifts of articles of nominal value) to any actual or potential
customer, supplier, governmental employee or any other person in a position to

holds all permits, licenses, certificates and other authorizations of foreign,
federal, state and local governmental agencies required for the conduct of its
business, including specifically the permits, licenses, certificates and other
authorizations described in Section 3.22 of the PTI Disclosure Schedule.
3.23 Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any of the schedules or
exhibits hereto contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a
material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and there is
no fact which has not been disclosed to SuperShuttle that materially affects
adversely or could reasonably be anticipated to materially affect adversely the
assets, financial condition or operating results, customer, employee or supplier
relations, business condition or prospects, or financing arrangements of PTI.
3.24 Minute Books. The minute books of PTI shall be made available to
counsel for SuperShuttle and those delivered shall be the only minute books of
PTI and shall contain an accurate summary of all meetings of directors (or
committees thereof) and shareholders or actions by written consent since the
time of incorporation of PTI.

4.5 Securities Laws Compliance. The securities to be acquired by
Shareholders under the terms of this Agreement will be acquired for
Shareholder's own account for the purpose of investment and not with the present

thereof. Shareholder agrees that the certificates representing the securities
shall bear legends to the effect that such securities have not been registered

receive answers from, SuperShuttle and its management concerning
SuperShuttle and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The
Shareholder hereby acknowledges that it or its representatives has
received all such information as it considers necessary for evaluating the
risks and merits of acquiring the securities and for verifying the
accuracy of any information furnished to it or to which it had access. The
Shareholder represents and warrants that the nature and amount of the

experience and the business or financial experience of its professional
advisors (who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the
Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or
indirectly), has the capacity to protect its own interest in connection
with the purchase of the securities. The Shareholder has consulted with
counsel of its own choosing in making an informed decision with respect to
the Merger consideration and the terms of this Agreement.
(d) The Shareholder is an "accredited investor" as defined in and

(a) SuperShuttle agrees and covenants to use its best efforts to
consummate an initial public offering of SuperShuttle Common Stock within
a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed 130 days from the date

offering of SuperShuttle Common Stock within such period, the Shareholders
shall have the right to repurchase, at fair market value, all of the
shares of PTI Common Stock transferred to SuperShuttle. PTI will be
responsible for payment of its own and its Shareholders' fees and expenses
in connection with the exercise of such repurchase right. Each of
SuperShuttle and PTI agree that if the Shareholders exercise the
repurchase right referenced above, the exchange of PTI's SuperShuttle
Common Stock for PTI Common Stock will occur with no liability on the part
of SuperShuttle as to the condition of PTI during the time SuperShuttle
was in possession of the PTI Common Stock.
(b) Until the earlier of (a) an underwritten public offering by
SuperShuttle of its common stock pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, or (b) 60 days after July 31, 1998,
SuperShuttle shall (i) not cause the Surviving Corporation to make any
material changes in its business, operations, facilities or personnel
unless such change is approved by the holders of a majority of the stock
issued pursuant to Section 1.5(a), (ii) shall use its best efforts to
preserve intact the business organization and goodwill of the Surviving
Corporation, (iii) will not cause the Surviving Corporation to take any of
the actions described in Section 5.1(c) and (iv) shall devote reasonable
financial and personnel resources to the Surviving Corporation.
(c) Each of SuperShuttle and PTI covenant and agree that
SuperShuttle shall have the right (for thirty (30) days following the
applicable target date) to repurchase, at fair market value, all of the
SuperShuttle Common Stock to be transferred to PTI in connection with the
Merger, if either of the conditions in Section 7.4 are not satisfied.
Supershuttle will be responsible for payment of its own fees and expenses
in connection with the exercise of such repurchase right.
26
32
(d) The parties intend to effect the Merger as a tax-free
reorganization. SuperShuttle undertakes to do all things reasonably
necessary to effect the transaction in a tax-free manner as requested by

transaction for SuperShuttle. However, SuperShuttle shall not be
responsible for any set of circumstances that affect the tax-free nature
of the transaction.
(e) SuperShuttle agrees to undertake to remove the Shareholders as
personal guarantors of any and all loans and leases of the Surviving
Corporation and to replace the Shareholders as the guarantors of such
obligations, provided that there has been no personal wrongdoing or

obligations. This assumption of personal guarantees will take effect upon
the later of (a) an underwritten public offering by SuperShuttle of its
common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or (b) 60 days after July 31, 1998. Unless and until such
personal guarantees of Shareholders have been removed, SuperShuttle agrees
to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shareholders from and against
any and all claims, damages and expenses arising from or related to such
personal guarantees.

have been required to be set forth or described in any such Disclosure Schedule

6.10 Confidential Information and Covenant Not To Compete. Each of the
Shareholders hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) that until the later of a period of three years following the
consummation of the Merger transactions or following the termination of
the employment agreement referenced in Section 7.1(d), the Shareholder
shall not use or disclose, directly or indirectly, for any reason
whatsoever or in any way any confidential information or trade secrets of
PTI, SuperShuttle or Merger Sub, including by way of example, names or
descriptions of customers, financial statements, product or service
pricing or other information, contract proposals and bidding information,
and any other information of a proprietary or confidential character;
(b) that until the later of a period of three years following the
consummation of the Merger transactions or following the termination of
the employment agreement referenced in Section 7.1(d), the Shareholder
shall not, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, employer,
consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer,
director or in any other capacity whatsoever, engage or participate in any
businesses in competition in any manner whatsoever with the business of
PTI, SuperShuttle or any affiliate of either of them as such business is
presently conducted in either Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside or San Diego
counties or any county contiguous thereto (the "Applicable Counties"). Not
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the business of PTI and
SuperShuttle shall be deemed to consist of the transportation, over land,
of passengers for hire, including, by way of example, transportation to
and from airports, ports or stations of embarkation for travel, but
excluding the operation of taxis. Notwithstanding the above, the business
of Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx as it is conducted upon the date of signature of this
Agreement is excluded from the restrictions contained in this paragraph
6.10(b) but not with respect to any business relating to shared ride
airport vans;
(c) that until the later of a period of three years following the
consummation of the Merger transactions or following the termination of
the employment agreement referenced in Section 7.1(d), the Shareholder
shall not solicit or negotiate any contract or agreement that constitutes
or would constitute engaging in competition with the business of PTI or
SuperShuttle in the Applicable Counties; and
29
35
(d) each of the Shareholders by execution of this Agreement grants
to PTI a fully paid irrevocable license to use any and all rights and
interests in the business concept employed by PTI to the extent that they
have any interest therein, and in any name under which such businesses may
have been conducted, and agree not to undertake to conduct business
employing any such name at any place at which SuperShuttle or any of its
affiliates conduct business. To the extent that any business concept
employed by a Shareholder would involve the conduct of any form of shared
ride transportation business, the license granted to Supershuttle shall be
deemed exclusive to SuperShuttle.
In connection with the limitation protections afforded to SuperShuttle by
the covenants set forth above in this Section 6.10, the Shareholders recognize
that SuperShuttle has a need for the covenants and that need is based upon the
following:
(i) SuperShuttle's expenditure of substantial time, money and effort
in developing its business and the valuable list of customers and
information about the requirements and needs associated with the business,
including the business of PTI being acquired through the Merger;
(ii) Shareholder through the course of his or her relationship with
PTI has been or may have been entrusted with or exposed to certain trade
secrets and other confidential information, the confidentiality of which
is critical to the ongoing business of SuperShuttle, including the
business to be acquired through the Merger of PTI into Merger Sub;
(iii) SuperShuttle provides and will provide services throughout the
Applicable Counties; and
(iv) SuperShuttle would suffer great loss and irreparable harm if
the Shareholders were to violate the foregoing covenants.
The Shareholders hereby specifically acknowledge and agree that the
temporal, geographical and other restrictions contained in this Section 6.10 are
reasonable and necessary to protect the business and prospects of PTI and
SuperShuttle and that the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.10
will not work an undue hardship on the Shareholders. Shareholders further agree
that in the event that either the temporal, geographical or any other
restrictions, or a portion thereof, set forth in this Section 6.10 is determined
to be overly restrictive and nonenforceable, the covenants set forth shall be
reduced and modified to those which are reasonable and enforceable under the
circumstances to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law in the
judgment of the applicable court. The Shareholders acknowledge and agree that
SuperShuttle does not have an adequate remedy at law for the breach or
threatened breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6.10 and the
Shareholders therefore specifically agree that SuperShuttle may, in addition to
any other remedies which may be available hereunder or as a matter of law or in
equity, file a suit in equity to enjoin the Shareholder from the breach or
threatened breach.

If the provisions of this Section 6.10 are held to be invalid or
unenforceable as against public policy, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
