         2.       COOPERATION

         2.1      Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
                  parties shall on a non exclusive basis cooperate regarding
                  telematics, i.e., products that enable telecommunication
                  between devices. To begin with, the parties' cooperation is
                  limited to Malaysia. However, the parties intend to extend the
                  Territory into
<PAGE>

                  include other countries in the Asian Pacific region. Whenever
                  new countries are to be covered by the Agreement, the parties
                  shall in writing confirm that the Territory also includes such
                  countries.

         2.2      The basis of the parties' cooperation is that Unwire develops
                  and sells the Products, and that Ericsson desires to purchase
                  the Products for resale as a part of complete solutions, and
                  also desires to establish indirect channels to resell such
                  solutions through third party resellers.

         2.3      In order to be able to resell the Products as a part of
                  complete solutions, Ericsson shall maintain sufficient

                  solutions.

         2.4      The parties also intend to jointly and independently develop
                  applications that can be downloaded into the Products.

         2.5      In addition to the support obligations for defective Products
                  set forth in this Agreement, the parties shall jointly develop
                  a concept including an undertaking to provide quality and
                  support to customers. Under this concept, Ericsson shall be
                  responsible for first-line support to customers, while Unwire
                  shall be responsible for back-up support to Ericsson. The
                  parties shall jointly agree upon the terms and conditions of
                  such a support agreement, and the parties shall jointly decide
                  how the revenues from the customers shall be shared between
                  the parties.

         2.6      Either party shall without delay inform the other party of any
                  companies or persons with whom it cooperates regarding
                  telematics within the Territory and of any programs or other
                  applications developed for the Products.

         2.7      Unwire has developed an application library, ENCLOSURE 2,
                  including unique programs which can be installed in the
                  Products. [Omitted based upon a request for confidential
                  treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities
                  Exchange Act of 1934. The omitted portion has been filed
                  separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

         2.8      Upon request by either party, the parties shall meet to
                  discuss their cooperation under this Agreement. Cooperation
                  results that are achieved shall be documented in the minutes

                  of 1934. The omitted portion has been filed separately with

                  hereby grants to Ericsson the non-exclusive right to market
                  and sell the Products in the Territory. Unwire reserves the
                  right to market and sell the Products directly to customers
                  within the Territory. Unwire shall pay no commission or other
                  compensation to Ericsson for such direct sales. If Ericsson
                  can show that it has solicited a customer before Unwire or
                  before any other distributor appointed by Unwire, Unwire is
                  responsible for ensuring that Ericsson alone may market and
                  sell the Products to such customer.

         3.2      Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Unwire
                  grants to Ericsson a non-transferable and non-exclusive
                  license to (either directly or indirectly through any of its
                  partners) develop by itself or jointly with Unwire new
                  software for the Products and to market and sell such software
                  only as an integral part of the Products.

         3.3      Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
                  Ericsson grants to Unwire a non-transferrable and
                  non-exclusive right, unlimited in time, to freely manufacture,
                  market and sub-license any software developed by Ericsson for
                  the Products and any software developed jointly by the parties
                  for the Products. Ericsson shall supply to Unwire the source
                  code and other documentation relating to such software
                  developed by Ericsson as soon as it has been developed.

         3.4      Subsection 3.3 above shall not apply in the event a third
                  party still has intellectual property rights to the new
                  software for the Products. In such cases, Ericsson shall
                  promptly notify Unwire and the parties shall make their best
                  efforts to conclude a license agreement on terms and
                  conditions which reflect the particular circumstances of the
                  individual case.

         4.       NEW PRODUCTS

         4.1      New products which are marketed by Unwire, shall be covered by
                  the Agreement after written agreement by the parties.

         5.       LEGAL RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

         5.1      Ericsson shall buy the Products as an independent contractor
                  and shall sell the Products in its own name, on its own
                  account and at its own risk. Ericsson may not in any respect
                  represent Unwire or enter into any agreement or other
                  commitment on Unwire's behalf.

         6.       ORDERS AND DELIVERIES

         6.1      Ericsson's orders shall be made in writing. After receipt of
                  an order, Unwire shall in writing within five (5) days either
                  confirm the order or inform Ericsson that Unwire cannot accept
                  the order.

         6.2      Shipment of Products shall be made within the time period set
                  forth in Unwire's confirmation of Ericsson's order.

         6.3      If the delivery of the Products is delayed and such delay is
                  due to Unwire, Ericsson shall be entitled to liquidated
                  damages calculated for each full week of the duration of the
                  delay at the rate of half a (0.5) percent of the price for the
                  delayed Products. However, the liquidated damages may not
                  exceed a total of five (5) percent of the price for the
                  delayed Products.

         6.4      Unwire's liability or fault due to a delayed Shipment is to
                  the abovementioned liquidated damages and Ericsson cannot make
                  any other claims against Unwire on the grounds of a delayed
                  Shipment. This does not, however, limit Ericsson's right to
                  terminate the Agreement in accordance with section 25 below.

         7.3      The remedy provided for above may be invoked against Ericsson
                  only if Unwire gives Ericsson notice thereof no later than 30
                  days after Unwire has been informed of such non-fulfillment.

         18.1     Ericsson shall use Unwire's trademarks and trade names when
                  marketing the Products. The right and obligation to such use

                  parties' patents or other industrial property rights. Neither
                  party is, however, obliged to defend its or the other party's
                  rights.

         19.      RIGHT TO USE THE PROGRAM

         19.1     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Unwire
                  grants to Ericsson a non-transferable and non-exclusive
                  license within the Territory to grant (either directly or
                  indirectly through a subdistributor) a non-transferable and
                  non exclusive license to customers to use the Program when
                  using the Product.

         19.2     Ericsson is only entitled to use the Program in accordance
                  with the license set forth under section 20.1 above and is
                  thus, among other things, not allowed to

                  a)       modify, amend, later, revise, enhance or otherwise
                           change the Program,

                  b)       take any action, such as reverse assembly or reverse
                           compilation, to derive a source code equivalent to
                           the Program's,

                  c)       copy, sell, license, sub-license, rent, lend or
                           otherwise dispose of the Program,

                  d)       make the Program or any portion thereof available to
                           any third party, and

                  e)       use the Program in a way that would endanger its
                           quality as a trade secret.

         19.3     Ericsson may only grant sub-licenses on terms and conditions
                  that are compatible with the provisions of this Agreement, and
                  Ericsson shall be responsible towards Unwire for the
                  fulfillment by the sub-licensee of such terms and conditions.
                  Thus, Ericsson shall be responsible for the subdistributors
                  granting sub-licenses to customers on terms and conditions
                  that are compatible with the provisions of this Agreement.

         19.4     Unwire shall have the right to update (including amending and
                  modifying) the Program through downloading software by radio.
                  Customers shall, however, have the right to choose that Unwire
                  shall not have such right to update the Program. Ericsson
                  shall make its best efforts to ensure that subdistributors and
                  customers

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

                  that purchase the Products allow Unwire to update (including
                  amending and modifying) the Program through downloading
                  software by radio.

         19.5     To the best of Unwire's knowledge, third parties are unable to
                  update (including amending and modifying) the Program.

         20.      DOCUMENTS

         20.1     Any documentation such as documents, drawings or other data
                  bearing media and software programs (including information or
                  drawings stored in or made by software programs) submitted to
                  Ericsson by Unwire shall rernain Unwire's exclusive property
                  and shall be returned to Unwire upon request.

         21.      SECRECY

         21.1     The parties agree without any limitation in time not to reveal
                  to any third party Confidential Information, which a party
                  obtains from the other Party in accordance with this
                  Agreement.

         21.2     "Confidential Information" refers in this Agreement to any
                  item of information technical, commercial or of any other
                  nature - regardless of whether or not such information has
                  been documented or not, with the exception of

                  a)       information, which is generally known or which
                           becomes a matter of general knowledge in a manner
                           other than through the party's breach of the
                           provisions of this Agreement,

                  b)       information, which the party ran prove that he
                           possessed before he received it from the other party,
                           and

                  c)       information, which the party received or will receive
                           from a third party when the party does not have a
                           duty of secrecy to such party.

         21.3     In cases referred to by c) above, the party is not however
                  entitled to reveal to third parties that the same information
                  has been received from the other party pursuant to this
                  Agreement.

         21.4     Both parties agree to ensure that its employees, consultants,
                  board members and other representatives for the party do not
                  disclose Confidential Information to third parties. The
                  parties are thus under a duty to ensure that persons who can
                  be expected to come into contact with information of a
                  confidential nature are

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

                  required to deep such information secret to the same extent
                  that this Agreement requires the parties to do so.

         21.5     Ericsson may only use Confidential Information, which has been
                  supplied by Unwire, to sell the Products and to develop
                  software for the Products in accordance with this Agreement.

         22.      ASSIGNMENT OF THE AGREEMENT

         22.1     Neither party may wholly or partly assign or pledge its rights
                  and obligations under the Agreement to any third party except
                  with the prior written consent of the other party, whose
                  consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

         25.1     At the termination of the Agreement, Unwire may at its option
                  repurchase all or a part of the stock of Products, which

                  Ericsson paid when purchasing the Products from Unwire.

                  Ericsson's responsibilities and/or ongoing contractual

                  of the Agreement. Notwithstanding that delivery by Unwire
                  might be made after the termination of the Agreement, the

         26.1     The parties shall be relieved from liability for a failure to
                  perform any obligation under the Agreement during such period
                  and to the extent that the due performance thereof by either
                  of the parties is prevented by reason of any circumstance
                  beyond the control of the parties, such as war, warlike
                  hostilities, mobilization, civil war, fire, flood, changes in
                  laws and regulations or in the interpretation thereof, acts of
                  authorities, labor disputes blockades, major accidents or
                  other circumstances of similar importance or nature. Provided
                  that if the period of force majeure shall persists for more
                  than thirty (30) days, either party shall be entitled to
                  summarily terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to the
                  other.

                  with this Agreement.

                  shall only cover compensation for direct loss and shall not

Sterling (such amount, as the same may hereafter be modified by mutual agreement
of Executive and the Company, to be reviewed once per year, being referred to
herein as the "Base Salary"). In addition, Executive may be awarded, at the
Company's sole and exclusive discretion, bonus compensation. Any such bonus

procedures. The Company's payments hereunder shall be made within a reasonable
time following its receipt of such itemized accounts.

            (d)   VACATION. Executive shall be entitled to 6 weeks' vacation
each calendar year during the Term (such period to be pro-rated based on the
actual number of working days for which Executive is employed during a calendar
year). Executive shall be entitled to additional compensation for any vacation
time not taken in respect of any calendar year, and Executive shall be entitled
to carry over into any succeeding year any unused vacation time.

            (e)   DISABILITY. Except as hereinafter provided, the Company

Term) in which he is unable fully to perform his duties because of physical or
mental disability or incapacity, an amount equal to the Base Salary due him for
such period pursuant to Section 3(a), less the aggregate amount of all income

group health insurance plan, or disability insurance plan paid for by the
Company, in each case which is intended to function as a salary replacement
plan, (ii) any applicable compulsory state disability law, (iii) any Social

than those that reimburse for actual medical expenses.

            (a)   CAUSE. The Company shall have the right, at any time effective
upon notice to Executive, to terminate Executive's employment for "Cause,"

      office, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or
      responsibilities as contemplated by this Agreement, or any other action by

      authority, duties or responsibilities; or

                  (ii)  the Company materially breaches its obligations under
      this Agreement;

any of their respective affiliates.

            7.    NON-COMPETITION.

            (a)   Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) hereof, Executive
agrees that, for the period commencing on the date hereof and ending two years
after the termination of his employment with the Company for any reason, he
shall not, in any country in the world in which the Company then engages in the
Business (or in such lesser area or for such lesser period as may be determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a reasonable limitation on the
competitive activity of Executive), directly or indirectly:

                  (i)   engage, as an employee, officer, independent contractor
      or in any other capacity, in any activity for or on behalf of any person

      Business;

                  (ii)  except for the benefit of the Company, solicit or

      for products or services the same or similar to those offered, sold,
      produced or

                                      -5-

      thereof by the Company, or otherwise divert or attempt to divert from the
      Company any business whatsoever;

                  (iv)  hire, solicit or attempt to solicit for participation or
      employment in any business endeavor any employee of the Company;

      partner, consultant or otherwise to, or have any interest as a member,
      stockholder, partner, lender or otherwise in, any person or entity that is
      engaged in activities which, if performed by Executive, would violate this
      Section 7.

The foregoing shall not prevent Executive from purchasing up to five percent of
the voting securities of any other entity, the securities of which are
publicly-traded, during the time which the Executive is actively employed by the
Company.

            (b)   In the event Executive's employment is terminated under the
circumstances contemplated by paragraphs (c) or (d) of Section 5, the
obligations of Executive set forth under this Section 7 shall only continue in

the intervals set forth in Section 3(a)) during the one-year period following
termination of such employment.

            (c)   Executive agrees that the restrictions on competition set
forth in this Section 7 are reasonable and are properly required for the
adequate protection of the Business of the Company. Executive represents that
his experience, capabilities and circumstances are such that the provisions of
this Section 7 will not prevent him from earning an appropriate livelihood.

            8.    REMEDIES AND SURVIVAL. The provisions of Sections 5 through 8
of this Agreement shall survive any termination of Executive's employment with
the Company.

            9.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire
understanding of the parties hereto with respect to its subject matter, merges
and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings with
respect to its subject matter and shall not be modified or terminated except by
another agreement in writing executed by the Company and Executive.

invalid or unenforceable by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, the
remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected by such judgment, and such
provision shall be carried out as nearly as possible according to its original
terms and intent to eliminate such invalidity or un-enforceability.

assign this personal Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, without
the consent of the other party; provided, however, that upon the sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company
to another party, or upon the merger or consolidation of the Company with
another Company, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, both Executive and the party purchasing or acquiring such assets, business
and goodwill, or surviving such merger or consolidation, as the case may be, in
the same manner and to the same extent as though such other party were the
Company. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of,

therein by residents thereof. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement, including, without limitation, disputes over the nature of any
termination hereof, shall be finally determined by the Swedish court system.
Each of the parties hereby waives any and all objections he or it may have with
respect to the jurisdiction of such legal forum or the inconvenience of its
venue.

Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
