            (a) All liabilities and obligations that accrue or are required to
be performed after the Closing Date pursuant to any unexpired leases or
executory contracts ("Section 365 Contracts") that are included among the
Transferred Assets and assumed and assigned under Bankruptcy Code section 365
and in accordance with the Approval Order (defined below). Section 365 Contracts

365 Contracts will be extended to permit assumption and assignment to Purchaser.

            (b) All liabilities and obligations that accrue and are required to
be performed after the Closing Date to the extent related to or arising out of

<PAGE>

Closing, then Purchaser agrees to pay that employee severance compensation equal
to 90 days of that employee's salary or compensation.

            Section 1.5 Excluded Liabilities.

            (a) Liabilities Expressly Excluded. Except as expressly provided by
Section 1.4 of this Agreement, Purchaser has not assumed and is not liable or
responsible for any of the liabilities, commitments, or obligations of Sellers,
of any kind or nature whether presently in existence or arising in the future,
including, but not limited to, any obligation or liability arising out of any
Seller's employment or termination of any employee ("Excluded Liabilities").

            (b) Responsibility of Sellers. All Excluded Liabilities are retained
by and remain obligations and liabilities of Sellers. It is expressly understood
and agreed that the Parties intend that Purchaser is not considered to be a
successor to any Seller by reason of any theory of law or equity and that
Purchaser has no liability, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, for any liability of any Seller.

            (c) Cure Amounts. Sellers will pay all cure amounts owing under any
of the Section 365 Contracts that must be paid as a condition to their

those contracts agree or (b) the Bankruptcy Court orders to be paid. If
Purchaser identifies that certain Sellers' contract with MCI Telecommunications
Corp. ("MCI Contract") as a Section 365 Contract to be assumed and assigned to
Purchaser, then Purchaser will pay any cure amounts related to the MCI Contract.

            Section 1.6 Purchase Price.

            (a) Purchase Price. The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the
Transferred Assets is as follows:

                  (i)   The sum of $4,000,000 ("Cash Payment") subject to
                        adjustments in accordance with section 1.6(d), by
                        certified or bank check or by wire transfer payable to
                        Sellers.

                  (ii)  In addition to the Cash Payment set forth above,
                        Purchaser will deliver to Sellers $3,375,000 of Aquis
                        7.5% Cumulative Preferred Shares in the form attached as
                        Exhibit __ (the "Aquis Shares) subject to adjustments in
                        accordance with section 1.6(e).

            (b) Allocation of Purchase Price. Prior to the Closing, the Parties

                                        5
<PAGE>

            (c) Pre-Closing Escrow. Concurrent with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, Purchaser will deposit the sum of $200,000 ("Escrow Fund")
with the escrow agent under the terms of the Escrow Agreement acceptable to the
Parties. At Closing, the Parties agree to direct escrow agent to pay the Escrow
Fund to Sellers. The Escrow Fund will (i) be part of the Purchase Price and (ii)
reduce the Cash Payment. If this Agreement is terminated without a Closing, then
the Escrow Fund will secure Purchaser's obligations, as manager under the
Management Agreement, to remit the Returned Receivables Amount and the Returned
Other Receivables Amount and to pay Outstanding Expenses, as those terms are
defined in the Management Agreement.

            (d) Purchase Price Adjustments. The Purchase Price will be reduced,
first from the Cash Payment and then from the Aquis Shares, by the following
amounts:

                  (i)   The amount by which $7.26 million exceeds the actual Net
                        Service Revenue on the Take-Over Date (as defined in the
                        Management Agreement) due to the termination (voluntary
                        or involuntary) of Subscribers and Other Subscribers
                        prior to the Take-Over Date, but for whom billing had
                        not been terminated by that date.

                        For this subsection 1.6(d)(i), "Net Service Revenue"
                        means (a) all Sellers' revenues from paging service,
                        rentals, maintenance, and related charges, but excluding
                        revenues from sale of pagers, parts, and accessories;
                        tax refunds, insurance claims, or other similar refunds
                        or recoveries; and late charges, minus (b) payments to
                        third party service providers and resellers, including
                        expenses incurred to bill and collect amounts owed by
                        users of "calling party pays" services, and payments for
                        any dispatch services. A form of the calculation of Net
                        Service Revenues is attached as Schedule 1.6.(d).

            (e) Other Price Adjustments. The Sellers' failure to sell, assign,
transfer, and deliver the following Transferred Assets will not be a basis to
terminate this Agreement, but will reduce the Aquis Shares portion of the
Purchase Price by the following amounts:

                  (i)   For an unexpired lease ("Site Lease") for use of an
                        Other Midwest Transmitter Site, Purchaser may, in its
                        sole and absolute discretion, require that a Site Lease
                        for an Other Midwest Transmitter Site be assigned at
                        Closing and, in that event, Purchaser agrees to pay
                        one-half of the cure amount required under Bankruptcy
                        Code section 365 to effect the assignment and the amount
                        of Purchaser's portion of the cure amount will be
                        deducted from the Aquis Shares portion of the Purchase
                        Price.

                  (ii)  For equipment missing from an Other Midwest Transmitter
                        Site: $18,000 per site.

of the Management Agreement that accrue prior to the Take Over Date ("Regulatory

desirable in order to more effectively transfer and assign the Transferred
Assets and to effectuate the terms of and transactions contemplated in this
Agreement.

Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of Sellers.

            As an inducement for Purchaser to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement, Sellers make the following representations and
warranties to Purchaser. Sellers represent and warrant to Purchaser that each of
the following representations and warranties is correct and complete as of the
date of this Agreement and will be correct and complete as of the Closing with
the same effect as if these representations and warranties had been made at and
as of the Closing Date.

            (a) Organization. Each Seller is a legal organization, duly formed,
validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
organization (except for SOWI due solely to SOWI's failure to pay franchise
taxes), and is licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing
under the laws of each state in which it operates. Correct and complete copies
of the organizational documents, each as amended to date, of each Seller have
been delivered by each Seller to Purchaser. Such organizational documents are in
full force and effect.

            (b) Power and Authority. Subject to the entry of the Approval Order,
each Seller has full and lawful power and authority to execute and deliver, and
to perform its obligations under, this Agreement and to own all of the
Transferred Assets and to carry on the activities of the Transferred Business as
presently conducted and to own, hold, and operate the properties that it owns
and holds. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other
agreements, certificates, and documents executed pursuant to this Agreement by
each Seller has been duly authorized, and such agreements, certificates, and
documents are valid and binding upon each Seller in accordance with their
respective terms.

            (c) No Conflicts or Violations. Upon entry of the Approval Order and
the grant of the FCC Approval, neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by each Seller, nor the performance by each Seller in consummating the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement will, with or without the giving of
notice or passage of time (or both), conflict with, violate any provisions of,
result in the breach of, constitute a default under, or create or impose any
Encumbrance or condition on any Transferred Asset under: (i) any organizational
documents of any Seller, including, as applicable, certificates of
incorporation, articles of organization, by laws, or operating agreements; (ii)
any federal, state, or local state law, ordinance, regulation, or rule or any
order, writ, injunction, judgment, license, franchise, permit, or decree of any
governmental authority or arbitration tribunal by which any Seller or any
Transferred Assets are or may be bound; or (iii) any contract, indenture,
instruments, agreement, mortgage, lease, right or other obligation or
restriction to which any Seller is a party or by which any Seller or the
Transferred Assets are or may be bound.


                                        9
<PAGE>

            (d) Governmental Approvals. Except for the FCC Approval and the
Approval Order, no consent, approval, authorization of, or declaration or filing
with any governmental authority or other third party is required in connection
with the (a) execution or delivery of this Agreement by any Seller, (b) sale of
the Transferred Assets and operation of the Transferred Business as currently
operated by Sellers and the continued operation of the Transferred Business by
Purchaser as currently operated, or (c) the consummation by Sellers of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

            (e) Title to Transferred Assets. Sellers have good and marketable
title to all Transferred Assets. At the Closing, Purchaser will acquire good and
marketable title to the Transferred Assets, free and clear of any Encumbrances.

            The Transferred Assets other than the Other Midwest Transmitter
Sites (a) constitute all of the properties, assets, and rights that have been
used in the conduct of the Transferred Business and which are necessary to the
operation of the Transferred Business; (b) generate all of Sellers' Net Service
Revenue (as defined in Section 1.6(d)(i) of this Agreement); and (c) are in
compliance with FCC regulations. There are no assets of Sellers not included in
the Transferred Assets other than the Other Midwest Transmitter Sites which are
material to the operation of the Transferred Business and the absence of which
would have a material adverse effect on the Transferred Business. The
Transferred Assets are now and will be at the Closing Date located at each
Seller's places of business where they were previously used in the operation of

Sellers receive Purchaser's prior written consent to such action, which consent
is subject to Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion.

            (f) Management Agreement Representations and Warranties. Each seller
restates and incorporates into this Agreement each representation and warranty
set forth in section 6 of the Management Agreements as if set forth in full in
this Section 2.1.

documents limit its activities to holding the Licenses, (d) it has at all time
complied with its organizational documents which limit its activities to holding
the Licenses, (e) it has no creditors and does not know of any claims or
liabilities asserted against it. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement,
LLC II will deliver to Purchaser certified copies of its organizational

law without registration under the Securities Act. Sellers understand (a) that
the Aquis Shares have not been and are not being registered under the Securities
Act by reason of specified exemptions therefrom, which depend upon, among other
things, the bona fide nature of its investment intent as expressed herein and as
explicitly acknowledged hereby, and (b) that the Aquis Shares are "Restricted
Securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being
acquired from Purchaser in a transaction not involving a public offering and
that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold
without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited sets of
circumstances. Seller agrees that the Aquis Shares may not be sold, transferred,
offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of without
registration under the Securities Act except as may be permitted under
applicable law. The Aquis Shares will bear appropriate legends restricting
transfer. Purchaser understands and agrees that delivery of the Aquis Shares to
Sellers creditors pursuant to Bankruptcy Court order will not constitute a
transfer in violation of this Section 2.1(h).

Asset is destroyed or damaged by fire or any other cause, other than use, wear,
or loss in the ordinary course of business, Sellers will give written notice to
Purchaser as soon as practicable (but in no event later than 5 days) after
discovery by any Seller of such damage, destruction, or loss. Purchaser will
have the option of (a) having such Transferred Asset delivered to it at the
Closing in its destroyed or damaged condition in which event the Purchase Price
will be reduced by the amount allocated to such Transferred Asset (to the extent
of such damage or destruction), as mutually agreed by the parties, (b) excluding
such Transferred Asset from this Agreement, in which event the Purchase Price
shall be reduced by the amount allocated to such Transferred Asset, as mutually
agreed by the parties, or (c) replacing or repairing such Transferred Asset (any
replacement will be deemed a Transferred Asset) at Sellers' expense.

Section 8.7 Miscellaneous.

            (a) Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is to
any extent, invalid or unenforceable, then this Agreement will not be affected
thereby, and each term and provision of the Agreement will be valid and enforced
to the fullest extent permitted by law.

            (b) Assignment. Neither Purchaser nor any Seller may assign this
Agreement or any rights hereunder prior to the Closing without the prior written
consent of the other party, but Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder to one
or more of its affiliates. After the Closing, the terms, provisions, covenants
and conditions of this Agreement will bind and benefit the Parties to and their
respective heirs, successors, personal representatives, and assigns, including,
as to Sellers, any trustee who is appointed in the Debtors' chapter 11 cases or
in any subsequent chapter 7 cases under the Bankruptcy Code.

            (c) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, will be an original
instrument, and such counterparts, together, will constitute a single agreement.

            (d) No Waiver. No waiver of any breach or default under this
Agreement will be considered valid unless in writing and signed by the Party
giving such waiver, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any
contemporaneous or subsequent breach or default of the same or similar nature.
Any Party may, at or before the Closing, waive any conditions to its obligations
hereunder which are not fulfilled.

            (e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Management
Agreement, together with Exhibits and Schedules referred to or attached to this

by a written instrument executed by the Parties that specifically states that it
is intended to amend this Agreement. No representations, promises, warranties,
covenants, understandings or undertakings exist except as expressly set forth in
this Agreement.

jurisdiction of, the Bankruptcy Court. After Debtors are no longer subject to
