THIS WARRANT REDEMPTION PAYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 2nd day of June, 2008, by and between TELETOUCH COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on the one hand, and                  (the “Warrant Holder”), a holder of the Company’s Common Stock Purchase Warrant bearing Certificate Number              dated December 12, 2002 (collectively the “Warrant”), on the other hand. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Warrant.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company issued the Warrant pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Restructuring Agreement dated May 17, 2002;

WHEREAS, the Warrant contains redemption provisions which enable the holder under certain terms and conditions to request that the Warrant be redeemed by the Company;

WHEREAS, the Warrant Holder has submitted a request to the Company to redeem such Warrant in full; and

WHEREAS, as more fully set forth later in this Agreement the Company and the Warrant Holder have agreed to resolve any and all claims and differences between them as follows: (i) the Warrants owned by the Warrant Holder will be terminated and canceled, (ii) the Company will make cash payments to the Warrant Holder in the amounts and at such times as are more specifically set forth below, and (iii) the Warrant Holder and the Company have agreed to enter into a mutual release and covenant not to sue.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and the mutual covenants contained below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

1. Payments. Promptly, but in no event later than five (5) business days, following the exchange of executed counterparts of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Warrant Holder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, $             (the “Initial Payment”). An additional amount of $             (the “Remaining Principal Balance”) is due to the Warrant Holder, together with interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Remaining Principal Balance at an annual simple interest rate equal to twelve percent (12%), calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed through date of payment, shall be payable by the Company to the Warrant Holder as follows:

(a) seventeen (17) equal monthly principal payment installments (the “Installment Payments”) in the amount of [            ] Dollars ($        ) [total Remaining Principal Balance divided by 60], plus the computed interest amount on the unpaid principal amount of the Remaining Principal Balance for each monthly period, shall be paid by the Company to the Warrant Holder, on or before the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month commencing with the first full calendar month following the date hereof and continuing for a period of seventeen (17) months; and

 

- 1 -

(b) a final single payment (the “Final Payment”) of [            ] Dollars ($            ) [remaining principal amount of Remaining Principal Balance], together with any interest accrued thereon, shall be paid by the Company to the Warrant Holder on or before the tenth (10th) day of the eighteenth (18th) month following the date hereof; and

(c) accordingly, such Initial Payment, Remaining Principal Balance, Installment Payments and Final Payment schedule are shown on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement and incorporated by reference herein.

The obligation of the Company to pay the Remaining Principal Balance, the Installment Payments and the Final Payment and interest thereon as described herein shall also be evidenced by that certain Promissory Note of even date from the Company to Warrant Holder (the “Promissory Note”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that prior to the Final Payment date the Company closes a sale (a “Subject Sale”) of any of its assets sold not in the ordinary course of business which sales results in net proceeds to the Company in excess of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), the Company shall use 50% of such proceeds in excess of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) to make accelerated payments (each an “Asset Sale Accelerated Payment”) on the Remaining Principal Balance in whole or in part owed to the Warrant Holder. The amount of the Asset Sale Accelerated Payment shall be the Warrant Holder’s pro rata portion (based upon the unpaid principal amount of the Remaining Principal Balance owed by the Company to Warrant Holder divided by the total unpaid principal balance of the Remaining Principal Balance owed by the Company to all holders of the Warrants) of fifty (50%) percent of the net proceeds of a Subject Sale, and in no event shall it exceed the unpaid portion of the Remaining Principal Balance, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon. Each Asset Sale Accelerated Payment shall be made within five (5) days of the closing of the Subject Sale.

Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined herein), the Company shall accelerate and prepay the entire unpaid principal of the Remaining Principal Balance, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon (the “Change in Control Accelerated Payment”). The Change in Control Accelerated Payment shall be made within five (5) days of the closing of the transaction resulting in the Change in Control. For this purpose, “Change in Control” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events:

(a) any “person”, as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

 

- 2 -

(b) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other person, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or being converted into voting securities for the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as the ownership of voting securities of the Company immediately prior thereto; or

(c) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (or any transaction having a similar effect).

The Company may prepay the unpaid principal of the Remaining Principal Balance in whole or in part prior to the Final Payment, without penalty and in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement. The entire amount of any such prepayment by the Company shall be applied against the last payment first.

All payments from the Company as herein described above, and all Interim Financial Statements and Annual Financial Statements reporting as herein described below shall be made to the Warrant Holder through, and will be deemed accepted by, Aintree Capital, 40 Burton Hills Boulevard, Suite 350, Nashville, Tennessee 37215, Attention: Mr. John Maggart.

In the event of an occurrence of any event of default specified below, the Company or Warrant Holder, as the case may be, agrees to give the other prompt written notice of such event. The Warrant Holder may, so long as such condition exists and has not been cured during the applicable cure period, declare the entire unpaid principal of the Remaining Principal Balance and unpaid accrued interest thereon immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to the Company. Further, upon the occurrence of any event of default specified below, regardless of whether the Warrant Holder has declared the entire unpaid principal of the Remaining Principal Balance and unpaid accrued interest thereon immediately due and payable, the unpaid principal of the Remaining Principal Balance shall thereafter bear interest at eighteen percent (18%) per annum.

The following shall constitute an event of default:

(a) Failure by the Company to make any payment (any of the Installment Payments, the Final Payment, an Asset Sale Accelerated Payment or the Change in Control Accelerated Payment) hereunder or under the Promissory Note when due, which failure has not been cured within twenty (20) days following such due date; or

(b) Failure by the Company to perform any obligation of the Company hereunder, other than as set forth in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph, which failure is not cured within thirty (30) days following such default; or

(c) The institution by the Company of bankruptcy proceedings to be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, or the consent by it to institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or release under the federal Bankruptcy Act, or any other applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official of the Company, or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

(d) If, within sixty (60) days after the commencement of an action against the Company seeking any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such action shall not have been resolved in favor of the Company or all orders or proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of the Company stayed, or if the stay of any such order or proceeding shall thereafter be set aside, or if, within sixty (60) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of the Company of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company, such appointment shall not have been vacated.
