         Re:      Employment Agreement

Dear Stan:

         On May 21, 1997, Glenayre Technologies Inc. ("Glenayre") and you
entered into an Employment Agreement (your "Employment Agreement"), pursuant to
which your employment as Executive Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial
Officer was continued on the terms and conditions stated therein. Unless
otherwise defined in this letter, the capitalized terms used in this letter
shall have the same meanings as ascribed to them in the Employment Agreement.

         Under your Employment Agreement, upon the occurrence of an event which
constitutes "Good Reason", you may terminate your employment and be entitled,
among other payments and benefits, to a severance payment equal to two times
your annual rate of your "Base Salary" (except "Good Reason" which is caused by
a "Change in Control," in which case the payment is two and one-half times the
annual rate of your "Base Salary").

         As originally written, "Good Reason" included any material change by
Glenayre in your functions, duties or responsibilities which would cause the
ranking or level, dignity, responsibility, importance or scope of your position
with Glenayre to become less than those of Executive Vice President, Treasurer
and Chief Financial Officer. Effective October 1, 1998, you were elected to the
office of Chief Operating Officer in addition to your other duties and a search
was begun for a new Chief Financial Officer. Although your Employment Agreement
was not formally amended when you assumed this new position, Glenayre
acknowledges that "Good Reason" was intended to include, and does include, any
material change in your responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer.

         As you and I have discussed, as part of the reorganization here at
Glenayre, the position of Chief Operating Officer is being eliminated, effective
August 10, 1999, but Glenayre desires that you continue to serve as Executive
Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer on the terms contained in
your Employment Agreement. We have agreed, however, that your continuation in
this position should not prejudice your rights under your Employment Agreement.

         Therefore, in order to induce you to stay with Glenayre, on behalf of
Glenayre I propose that you continue to serve as Executive Vice President,
Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of Glenayre with the agreement that at any
time, upon 90 days prior written notice by you to Glenayre, you may terminate
your employment with Glenayre. Such termination will be considered to be "Good
Reason" under the terms of your Employment Agreement and you will be entitled to
all of the benefits and payments due you as a result of a termination for "Good
Reason" (including a severance payment in the amount of two times your annual
"Base Salary"). Specifically:

(1)           Paragraph 2(e) of your Employment Agreement will be deemed amended
              to include as "Good Reason" any termination by you of your
              employment with Glenayre at any time upon 90 days written notice
              to Glenayre. Therefore, such a termination of employment would be
              deemed to be pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 2(b)(3) of
              your Employment Agreement.

(2)           Inasmuch as the termination of your employment as described in
              Clause (1) above will be considered "Good Reason", the payments
              and benefits described in Paragraphs 3(a)(2), 3(a)(3) and 3(c) of
              your Employment Agreement, together with the payments and benefits
              otherwise due you under Paragraph 3 of your Employment Agreement,
              will be paid and provided to you in the event of such termination.

If you accept these terms, this letter will serve as an amendment to your
Employment Agreement as provided herein, and except as provided in this letter,
your Employment Agreement will continue in full force and effect and apply to
you in the position of Executive Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial
Officer. You waive any right you may have to terminate your employment by virtue
of the elimination of your duties as Chief Operating Officer. Please signify
your acceptance by signing where provided below.

                                             Very truly yours,

                                             /s/ Eric L. Doggett

ACCEPTED AND AGREED TO:

CONFIDENTIAL

Mr. Amir Zoufonoun
Glenayre Western Multiplex
1196 Borregas Avenue
Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1302

Dear Amir:

         As you know, Glenayre's current strategic intention is to sell Glenayre
Western Multiplex ("Western Multiplex "). We believe that you will play an
important role in insuring that Western Multiplex is refocused on an effective
growth strategy to position Western Multiplex for its future sale and in
supporting Glenayre's efforts to sell Western Multiplex. The purpose of this
agreement is to provide incentives to you to assist Glenayre in accomplishing
these objectives.

          1. Your Responsibilities. In addition to fulfilling your current job
responsibilities, you agree to cooperate fully with Glenayre and its investment
bankers, attorneys and accountants in connection with the Sale of Western
Multiplex to any prospective Buyer. You acknowledge that the Buyer may be a
strategic as well as a financial Buyer, and you agree to cooperate fully with,
and support, Glenayre in either case. You agree to meet with prospective Buyers,
work with other Western Multiplex employees to insure their continued loyalty to
a prospective Buyer and generally use your best efforts to insure that the
highest possible sales price is received by Glenayre for the Sale of Western
Multiplex. In the event that you are offered an opportunity to receive an equity
interest in the Buyer or Western Multiplex as part of the Sale of Western
Multiplex, you agree to keep Glenayre advised of your negotiations with the
Buyer.

         2. Your Benefits . Contingent upon your full compliance with your
responsibilities under Paragraph 1 above, Glenayre agrees to provide the
following benefits to you (assuming that you remain an employee of Western
Multiplex at the time a Sale of Western Multiplex closes):

                  (1) Promptly after the closing of the Sale of Western
         Multiplex, you will receive an acquisition bonus based on a percentage
         of the sales
<PAGE>

         price for Western Multiplex (with a minimum bonus of $550,000), as set
         forth in more detail on Attachment 1.

                  (2) I will recommend to the Plan Administration Committee of
         the Board of Directors of Glenayre that all of your options for
         Glenayre common stock be fully vested as of the closing date of the
         Sale of Western Multiplex and that you be permitted to exercise your
         options within one year after the closing date.

                  (3) Glenayre will pay to you a lump sum severance benefit
         equal to 100% of your base salary (as in effect at the closing of the
         Sale of Western Multiplex ) if a Sale of Western Multiplex occurs and
         either (i) you are not offered employment by the Buyer or Western
         Multiplex at a position with substantially the same or greater
         responsibilities than your current position with Western Multiplex and
         at substantially the same or greater compensation and other benefits
         and you do not accept another position with the Buyer or Western
         Multiplex or (ii) you accept employment with Western Multiplex or the
         Buyer but your Termination of Employment occurs within one year after
         the Sale of Western Multiplex.

                  (4) These benefits apply to a Sale of Western Multiplex prior
         to October 31, 1999. Prior to October 31, 1999, these benefits will be
         reviewed, although it is currently anticipated that a similar program
         will be in effect after October 31, 1999 if a sale has not been
         completed.

         3. Confidentiality. You agree that you will keep strictly confidential
and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, any document or information
(including all proprietary, confidential, or trade secret information of
Glenayre or Western Multiplex that you have had in your possession or of which
you are or become aware) relating to your employment with Western Multiplex or
to the business and operations of Western Multiplex. You further agree that you
will not make any statement nor take any action which might adversely reflect
upon Glenayre or Western Multiplex, or any of their officers, directors or
employees. You also agree that you will keep strictly confidential the terms of
this agreement and will not reveal any of such terms to any other employee of
Western Multiplex.

         4. Miscellaneous. This agreement supersedes and replaces the letter
agreements dated May 26, 1998, May 11, 1998 and August 22, 1997, and any and all
other arrangements, between Glenayre and you in regard to the sale of Western
Multiplex. This agreement will not be construed to provide you any right of
continued employment by Western Multiplex. The construction, interpretation and
validity of this agreement shall be determined in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of North Carolina. In addition to the terms defined in
this agreement, the other capitalized terms in this agreement
<PAGE>

shall have the meanings set forth in Attachment 2 hereto. No provision of this
agreement shall be deemed to restrict the absolute right of Glenayre at any time
to sell or dispose of Western Multiplex or any part of its business or assets on
such terms as Glenayre considers to be in its best interests.
