to Parent by holders of Western Power Common Stock (as defined in Section 1.2)
described in Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and (ii) the E-Mobile Merger shall, taken together with the Western

Time, by virtue of the Western Power Merger and without any action on the part
of any of the parties hereto or the holders of any shares of Western Power
Common Stock or capital stock of Merger Sub 1:

paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of
Western Power Surviving Corporation.

    (b)  Cancellation of Treasury Stock and E-Mobile-Owned Stock.  All shares of
Western Power Common Stock that are owned by Western Power or any Subsidiary (as
defined in Section 3.1) of Western Power and any shares of Western Power Common
Stock (including any options, warrants or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for such shares) owned by E-Mobile, Merger Sub 2 or any other
Subsidiary of E-Mobile shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist
and no stock of Parent or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange
therefor.

    (c)  Exchange Ratio for Western Power Common Stock.  Subject to Section
2.4(e), each issued and outstanding share of Western Power Common Stock (other
than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting
Shares (as defined in Section 2.5)) shall be converted into the right to receive
that number of shares of newly issued Parent Common Stock equal to the Western
Power Exchange Ratio (as defined in Section 2.4(k)(iii) below). All such shares
of Western Power Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding
and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and
each holder of a certificate representing any such shares shall cease to have
any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of
Parent Common Stock and an amount equal to certain dividends and distributions
described in Section 2.4(c), in each case, upon the surrender of such
certificate in accordance with Section 2.4 and without interest.

    (d)  Western Power Stock Options.  At the Effective Time, each outstanding
option to purchase shares of Western Power Common Stock (a "Western Power Stock
Option") under the Western Power Stock Plans (as defined in Section 3.2(a)),
whether vested or unvested, shall be

3

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

deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as
were applicable under such Western Power Stock Option, the same number of shares
of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such Western Power Stock Option would
have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Western Power Merger had such
holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time
(rounded downward to the nearest whole number), at a price per share (rounded
downward to the nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price
for the shares of Western Power Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such
Western Power Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by
(z) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant
to such Western Power Stock Option in accordance with the foregoing.

    SECTION 2.2.  Conversion of E-Mobile Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time,
by virtue of the E-Mobile Merger and without any action on the part of any of
the parties hereto or the holders of any shares of E-Mobile Common Stock or

    (a)  Capital Stock of Merger Sub 2.  Each issued and outstanding share of
the capital stock of Merger Sub 2 shall be converted into and become one fully
paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $0.000001 per share, of
E-Mobile Surviving Corporation.

    (b)  Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Western Power-Owned Stock.  All
shares of E-Mobile Common Stock that are owned by E-Mobile or any Subsidiary of
E-Mobile (including treasury stock) and any shares of E-Mobile Common Stock
(including any options, warrants or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for such shares) owned by Western Power, Merger Sub 1 or any other
Subsidiary of Western Power shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to
exist and no stock of Parent or other consideration shall be delivered in
exchange therefor.

    (c)  Exchange Ratio for E-Mobile Common Stock.  Subject to Section 2.4(e),
each issued and outstanding share of E-Mobile Common Stock (other than shares to
be canceled in accordance with Section 2.2(b)) shall be converted into the right
to receive one share (the "E-Mobile Exchange Ratio") of Parent Common Stock. All
such shares of E-Mobile Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to
exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares shall cease
to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares
of Parent Common Stock and an amount equal to certain dividends and
distributions described in Section 2.4(c), in each case, upon the surrender of
such certificate in accordance with Section 2.4 and without interest.

    (d)  E-Mobile Stock Options.  At the Effective Time, each outstanding option
to purchase shares of E- Mobile Common Stock (a "E-Mobile Stock Option") under
the E-Mobile Stock Plans (as defined in Section 4.2(a)) or otherwise, whether
vested or unvested, shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the
same terms and conditions as were applicable under such E-Mobile Stock Option,
the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such E-Mobile
Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the E-Mobile Merger
had such holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective
Time (rounded downward to the nearest whole number), at a price per share
(rounded downward to the nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the aggregate exercise
price for the shares of E-Mobile Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such
E-Mobile Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (z) the
number of full shares of Parent Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such
E-Mobile Stock Option in accordance with the foregoing.

    SECTION 2.3.  Cancellation of Parent Common Stock.  At the Effective Time,
by virtue of the Mergers and without any action on the part of any holder of any
capital stock of Western Power, E-Mobile or Parent, each share of Parent Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
canceled, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

4

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

    SECTION 2.4.  Exchange of Certificates.  The procedures for exchanging
shares of Western Power Common Stock and E-Mobile Common Stock for Parent Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the
Mergers are as follows:

    (a)  Exchange Agent.  As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with a
bank or trust company designated by E-Mobile and Western Power (the "Exchange
Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Western Power Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time and the holders of shares of
E-Mobile Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, for
exchange in accordance with this Section 2.4, through the Exchange Agent,
certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to
Sections 2.1 and 2.2 in exchange for outstanding shares of Western Power Common
Stock and E-Mobile Common Stock, respectively (such shares of Parent Common
Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being
hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund").

    (b)  Exchange Procedures.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a
certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time
represented outstanding shares of Western Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common
Stock (the "Certificates") whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1
or Section 2.2 into the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock (i) a
letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and
risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the
Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other
provisions as Western Power and E-Mobile may reasonably specify), and (ii)
instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for
certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock. Upon surrender of a
Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or
agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal,
duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in
exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of
Parent Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the
provisions of this Article II, and the Certificate so surrendered shall
immediately be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Western
Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common Stock prior to the Effective Time which is
not registered in the transfer records of Western Power or E-Mobile,
respectively, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Parent
Common Stock may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such
Western Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common Stock is presented to the Exchange
Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such
transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been
paid. Immediately after the Effective Time, each outstanding Certificate which
theretofore represented shares of Western Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common
Stock shall represent only the right to receive the shares of Parent Common
Stock pursuant to the terms hereof and shall not be deemed to evidence ownership
of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Western
Power Common Stock or E-Mobile Common Stock would be or were, as the case may
be, converted into the right to receive until the Certificate therefor shall
have been surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.4.

    (c)  Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares.  No dividends or
other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to
Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to
the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent
Common Stock the holder thereof is entitled to receive in respect thereof until
the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate.
Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such
Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates
representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor,
without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or
other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time previously paid
with respect to such

5

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

whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date,
the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the
Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender
payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

    (d)  No Further Ownership Rights in Western Power Common Stock and E-Mobile
Common Stock.  All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for
exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash

Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.4.

provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so
withheld by Parent or one of the Surviving Corporations, as the case may be,
such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
having been paid to the holder of the shares of Western Power Common Stock or E-
Mobile Common Stock, as the case may be, in respect of which such deduction and
withholding was made.

    (i)  Lost Certificates.  If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or

Power or any of its Subsidiaries.

transaction qualifying as a transfer under Section 351 of the Code.

with the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or the happening of any further

only in the ordinary course and in a manner consistent with the Business Plan
and its financial statements and, since such date, there has not been (i) any
Material Adverse Change in E-Mobile and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole
(other than changes that are the effect or result of economic factors affecting
the economy as a whole or the industry in which E-Mobile competes) or any
development or combination of developments of which the management of E-Mobile
is aware that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or is reasonably
likely to have, a E-Mobile Material Adverse Effect (other than changes that are
the effect or result of economic factors affecting the economy as a whole or the
industry in which E-Mobile competes); (ii) any damage, destruction or loss
(whether or not covered by insurance) with respect to E-Mobile or any of its
Subsidiaries having a E-Mobile Material Adverse Effect; (iii) any material
change by E-Mobile or its Subsidiaries in their respective accounting methods,
principles or practices; or (iv) any other action or event that would have

had such action or event occurred after the date of this Agreement and that,
individually or in the aggregate, has had or is reasonably likely to have a
E-Mobile Material Adverse Effect.

    SECTION 4.13.  Taxes.  As of the date hereof, E-Mobile has not been required

Taxes and is not subject to, and has not been subject to, any audits,

business as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, as set forth in
the Business Plan, including, but not limited to, the Brainze and Bluetooth
technology. Neither E-Mobile or any of its Subsidiaries have received any notice
of any claims, have knowledge of any threatened claims, nor know of any facts
which would form the basis of any claim, asserted by any person, to the effect
that the sale or use of any product or process now used or offered by E-Mobile
or any of its Subsidiaries, or proposed to be sold or used, including, but not
limited to, the Brainze and Bluetooth technology, infringes on any patents or
infringes upon the use of any such trademarks, trade names, service marks,
copyrights, technology, know-how, computer software programs or applications,
processes or other intellectual property of another person or challenges or
questions the validity or effectiveness of any such license or agreement. The
sale and use of any such products and processes by E-Mobile and its
Subsidiaries, and the use of any such patents, trademarks, trade names, service
marks, copyrights, technology, know-how, computer software programs or
applications, processes or other intellectual property by E-Mobile and its
Subsidiaries, do not infringe upon the rights of any person. The foregoing
provisions of this Section 4.14 of this Agreement shall not be applicable if the
cumulative effect of all erroneous representations pursuant to this Section 4.14
of this Agreement are not reasonably likely to have an E-Mobile Material Adverse
Effect.

arbitration or investigation against E-Mobile or any of its Subsidiaries,
officers or directors related to E-Mobile, pending or as to which E-Mobile or

individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a E-Mobile
Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the ability of E-Mobile
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

    SECTION 4.17.  Environmental Matters.

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

    (iii) The indemnification, which is set forth in this Section 8.3 of this
Agreement shall be deemed to include not only the specific liabilities or
obligation with respect to which such indemnity is provided, but also all
reasonable costs, expenses, counsel fees, and expenses of settlement relating
thereto, whether or not any such liability or obligation shall have been reduced
to judgment.

    (c)  Third Party Claims.  If any demand, claim, action or cause of action,
suit, proceeding or investigation is brought against an Indemnified Party for
which the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity from the other party
hereto (the "Indemnifying Party"), then the Indemnified Party within twenty-one
(21) days following such Indemnified Party's receipt of such demand or claim,
shall notify the Indemnifying Party which notice shall contain a reasonably
thorough description of the nature and amount of the claim of indemnification
(the "Claim Notice"). The Indemnifying Party shall have ten (10) days from
receipt of the Claim Notice sent pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement to
exercise its option to undertake, conduct and control the defense of such claim
or demand. Such option to undertake, conduct and control the defense of such
claim or demand shall be exercised by notifying the Indemnified Party pursuant
to Section 8.2 of this Agreement within such ten (10) day period. The failure of
the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of any such demand,
claim, action or cause of action, suit, proceeding or investigation shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party
may have under this Section 8.3 of this Agreement except to the extent such
failure to notify the Indemnifying Party prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The
Indemnified Party shall use all reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous
defense of such matters. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified
Party in defending such third party claims shall be paid by the Indemnifying
Party. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense or
settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense (it being understood that
the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense). The
Indemnified Party shall not settle any such claim. If the Indemnifying Party
does not elect to control the defense of any such claim or demand, the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to undertake, conduct and control the
defense of such claim or demand; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled, if it so desires, to participate therein (it being understood that in
such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to control the
defense). Regardless of which party has undertaken to defend any claim, the
Indemnifying Party may not without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or
demand; provided however, that if any settlement would result in the imposition
of a consent order, injunction or decree which would restrict the future
activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party, the consent of the Indemnified
Party shall be a condition to any such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 8.3 of this Agreement, as a condition to the
Indemnifying Party either having the right to defend the subject claim, or
having control over settlement as indicated in the immediately proceeding
sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall execute an agreement in the form which is
annexed hereto as Exhibit J, acknowledging its liability for indemnification
pursuant to Section 8.3 of this Agreement. Whether the Indemnifying Party shall
control and assume the defense of such claim or demand or only participate in
the defense or settlement of any such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party
shall give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access, during normal business
hours, to the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit
them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party.

    (d)  General.  Nothing which is contained in Section 8.3 of this Agreement
shall be construed as liquidated damages for any breach under this Agreement. In
addition, there is no obligation to elect any remedy which is set forth in this
Section 8.3 of this Agreement; moreover, resort to such remedy shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any other rights or remedies for damages or
otherwise.

hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written
consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement
will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties
and their respective successors and assigns.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Western Power, E-Mobile and Parent have caused this
Agreement to be signed by their respective duly authorized officers as of the
date first written above.
