EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

This EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, dated as of May 31, 2005 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among P-COM, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and      (each a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”), with reference to the following facts:

A. The Holders presently hold a total of 2,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, with a face value of $1,000 per share or $2,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Series D Shares”). The Series D Shares are presently convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), equal to their aggregate face value ($2,000,000) divided by a conversion price of $4.50 per share, or approximately 444,444 shares of Common Stock.

B. The Company desires to exchange all outstanding Series D Shares for (i) a number of shares of the Company’s Series G Convertible Preferred Stock with an aggregate face value of $1,000,000 (the “Series G Shares”) and (ii) warrants to purchase a total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “Exchange Warrants”). The Series G Shares will be convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to their aggregate face value ($1,000,000) divided by a conversion price of $0.50 per share, or 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

C. The Holders desire to accept the Series G Shares and the Exchange Warrants in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of all of their Series D Shares, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree hereby as follows:

1. Exchange

At the Closing (as defined below), (a) the Holders shall surrender to the Company the original certificates evidencing the Series D Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by other valid instruments of transfer, and (b) the Company shall deliver to the Holders one or more certificates evidencing the Series G Shares and the Exchange Warrants issued in the respective names of the Holders in the respective amounts set forth on the signature page hereto.

2. Closing. Subject to the prior satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the principal executive offices of the Company at 10:00 A.M., local time, on June 10, 2005, 2005 or at such other place and time as the Company and the Holders may mutually agree (the “Closing Date”).

3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Holders as follows:

(a) Organization; Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Binding Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and is the legally valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

(c) Validity of Shares. The Series G Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G Shares and upon exercise of the Exchange Warrants, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Series G Shares and the Exchange Warrants, will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(d) SEC Registration; Company Information; Status. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, including material filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing including filings incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as the “Commission Documents”).

At the times of their respective filings, each Commission Document complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such documents, and, as of their respective dates, no Commission Document (including without limitation any financial statement filed therewith) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Since the filing of the most recently filed Commission Document, there have been no developments which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the business, operations or prospects of the Company.
