Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 25, 2006, the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with hereUare Communications, Inc. a privately-held Delaware corporation ("hereUare"), and HUA Merger Sub, Inc., a newly-formed California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Registrant ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into hereUare, with hereUare surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Registrant (the "Merger"). At the effective time of the Merger, each of the 16,005,500 currently outstanding shares of hereUare common stock will be exchanged for one share of Registrant's common stock, and all of the currently outstanding 200,000 warrants to purchase shares of hereUare common stock will expire upon completion of the Merger. As Registrant as of August 25, 2006, had outstanding 17,422,749 common shares, Registrant's stockholders after the Merger will own approximately 52.12% of the outstanding common shares of Registrant and hereUare shareholders will own approximately 47.88% of the outstanding common shares of Registrant.

Benedict Van, Registrant's Chairman of the Board and CEO, and a member of Registrant's board of directors, is the CEO and sole director of hereUare. Mr. Van and his affiliated company own approximately 55.6% of the outstanding hereUare common stock and will therefore received 55.6% of Registrant's stock being issued in connection with the Merger. Mr. Van and his affiliated companies own approximately 47.3% of the outstanding capital stock of Registrant and, after the Merger, Mr. Van and his affiliated companies would own approximately 51.3% of the outstanding stock of the resulting company. In addition, Anthony K. Chan, a director of Registrant and its CFO, is the CFO of hereUare. Mr. Chan owns no stock in hereUare. James McCargo, a director of PeopleNet, owns 200,000 hereUare warrants which will expire upon completion of the merger. David Brewer, a director of PeopleNet, owns 125,000 hereUare common shares.

The Merger is subject to several conditions, including the approval of the transaction by hereUare shareholders and other customary closing conditions. In these regards, holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of hereUare have already voted in favor of the Merger. If the Merger has not closed by September 30, 2006, then either Registrant or hereUare may terminate the Merger Agreement. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of Registrant and hereUare. hereUare shareholders who do not vote in favor of the Merger will have dissenters rights.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of both Registrant and hereUare. The representations and warranties terminate upon the closing of the Merger and there is no provision for indemnification by hereUare shareholders of the Registrant. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed by the contracting parties, including being qualified by disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of Regist rant or hereUare or any of their respective subsidiaries.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.9 and incorporated herein by reference.

B. Pursuant to the Merger, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all of the outstanding shares of Company Stock which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be converted into the right to receive shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Parent ("Parent Common Stock");

C. Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company intend that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and in furtherance thereof intend that this Agreement shall be a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of sections 354(a) and 361(a) of the Code; and

D. The Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises, representations and warranties set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties), intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("Delaware Law"), whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

1.2 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, 2475 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, California, as soon as practicable following satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with this Agreement or at such other time, place and date as is mutually agreed to by the parties hereto. The date of the Closing is referred to in this Agreement as the "Closing Date."

1.3 Effective Time. As soon as practicable after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions to the Merger, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall file a Certificate of Merger in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Certificate of Merger") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and make all other filings or recordings required by Delaware Law in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as is specified in the Certificate of Merger (the "Effective Time").

1.4 Corporate Organization. At and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises and be subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under Delaware Law.

ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE
CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS

2.1 Effect on Outstanding Securities of the Company. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Company or the holder of any shares of the Company Stock, the following shall occur:

(a) Conversion of Company Stock. Each share of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares (as provided in Section 2.5)) will be cancelled and extinguished and each share of Company Stock which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into the right to receive that one (1) share of Parent Common Stock (the "Merger Consideration"), subject to Section 2.3. Similarly, each warrant to purchase Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into a warrant to purchase an equal number of shares of Parent Common Stock, and no other term or provision of such option or warrant shall be changed.

(b) Capital Stock of Merger Subsidiary. Each share of Common Stock of Merger Subsidiary issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Merger Subsidiary, Parent, the Company, the holders of any shares of capital stock of Merger Subsidiary or the holders of any shares of Company Stock, shall be converted automatically into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Subsidiary evidencing ownership of any shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.2 Reservation of Shares. Parent will reserve sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock for issuance pursuant to Section 2.1.

2.3 Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The one for one ratio of Company Common Stock for Parent Common Stock shall be equitably adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock combination, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Stock), reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or Company Stock the effective date of which occurs after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

2.4 Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof, each holder of shares of Company Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall be entitled to receive from Parent an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (a) such fraction, multiplied by (b) the Closing Price.

2.5 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Stock held as of the Effective Time by a holder who has not voted such Company Stock in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and with respect to which appraisal shall have been duly demanded and perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware Law and not effectively withdrawn or forfeited prior to the Effective Time ("Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted by the Delaware Law.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.5(a) above, if any holder of shares of Company Stock who demands appraisal of such shares under the Delaware Law shall effectively forfeit or withdraw the right to appraisal, then, as of the later of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the occurrence of such event, such holder's shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive Parent Common Stock as provided in Section 2.1, without interest thereon, upon surrender to the Company of the certificate representing such shares in accordance with Section 2.6.

2.6 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Parent Common Stock. Within three (3) business days from the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company or another agent reasonably satisfactory to the parties (the "Exchange Agent") for exchange in accordance with Section 2.1(a), the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable as of the Effective Time in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Stock as of the Effective Time.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Stock (the "Certificates") and which shares were converted into the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which letter of transmittal shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent or the Company may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions contained therein, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1 and cash in lieu of fractional shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.4, and the Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled. Until surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Company Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, other than the payment of dividends, to evidence the ownership of the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Company Stock shall have been so converted and cash in lieu of fractional shares. Accompanying the letter of transmittal will be an investment letter (the "Stockholder Certificate") in the form of Exhibit B which each Company Stockholder will be required to execute in order to receive Parent Common Stock in order to establish securities law compliance.

(c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Company Stock. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock declared or made after the Effective Time and with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable (but for the provisions of this Section 2.6) with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued pursuant to the Merger in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that (i) the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable and (ii) the Person surrendering such Certificate provide the Company with an opinion of counsel, acceptable to the Company, that such transfer does not violate state or federal securities laws.

(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, neither the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Subsidiary nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

2.7 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Company of shares of Company Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.8 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof; provided, however, that Parent or the Exchange Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to provide an indemnity or deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.9 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Code. The parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as the "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of sections 354(a) and 361(a) of the Code and as described in sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the Income Tax Regulations.

2.10 Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article II such amounts as Parent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

2.11 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any such further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, or to effect the assignment to the Surviving Corporation of any and all of the Company's Intellectual Property created by a founder, employee or consultant of the Company, or to complete and prosecute all domestic and foreign patent filings related to such Intellectual Property of the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

ARTICLE III
THE SURVIVING CORPORATION

3.1 Articles of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Subsidiary, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law and such articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

3.2 Bylaws. The bylaws of Merger Subsidiary in effect at the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law, such bylaws or the articles of incorporation.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done promptly all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby, to obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals, to effect all necessary registrations and filings and to remove any injunctions or other impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the purpose of securing to the parties hereto the benefits contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Parent shall not be required to agree to any divestiture by Parent, or any of Parent's Subsidiaries or affiliates of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or properties of Parent or its affiliates or the imposition of any material limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their businesses or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock.

6.9 Conduct; Notification of Certain Matters. Each of Parent and the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid taking any action and to avoid failing to take any action if the taking of such action or the failure to take such action, as the case may be, from the date hereof through the Closing would cause or constitute a breach of any of its respective representations, warranties, agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement. The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt written notice to the Company, of (a) the occurrence or non occurrence of any event, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which causes or is likely to cause any representation or warranty of the Company or Parent or Merger Subsidiary, respectively, contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Effective Time and (b) any failure of the Company or Parent or Merger Subsidiary, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall not limit or otherwise affect the other party's right to rely on the representations and warranties herein or any the other remedies available to the party receiving such notice.

6.10 Additional Documents and Further Assurances. Each party hereto, at the reasonable request of the other party hereto, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. To that end, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the parties to the agreements listed in Section 6.10 of the Disclosure Schedule to deliver their consents, approvals or waivers, as appropriate, to the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.11 Treatment as Reorganization. Neither Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation nor the Company shall take any action or fail to take any action prior to or following the Closing if such action or failure to act, as the case may be, would cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Code and each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation and the Company shall report the Merger consistent with such treatment in all Tax Returns and other filings. Parent will continue, or cause the Surviving Corporation to continue, the historic business of the Company, or use at least a significant portion of the Company's historic business assets in a business, in each case within the meaning of section 1.368-1(d) of the Income Tax Regulations, except that Parent may transfer, or cause the transfer of, the Company's historic business assets (i) to a corporation that is a member of Parent's qualified group, within the meaning of section 1.368-1(d)(4)(ii) of the Income Tax Regulations, or (ii) to a partnership if (A) one or more members of Parent's qualified group have active and substantial management functions as a partner with respect to the Company's historic business or (B) members of Parent's qualified group in the aggregate own an interest in the partnership representing a significant interest in the Company's historic business, in each case within the meaning of section 1.368-1(d)(4)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations. Parent will not transfer Company Common (or the stock of any member of Parent's qualified group to which Parent may transfer Company Common) to (i) a corporation that is not a member of Parent's qualified group or (ii) a partnership.

(a) By mutual consent of the Company and Parent;

(b) By Parent or the Company if: (i) the Effective Time has not occurred by September 30, 2006 (provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (i) shall not be available to any party whose willful failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur on or before such date); (ii) there shall be a final non-appealable order, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction in effect preventing consummation of the Merger; (iii) there shall be any statute, rule, regulation or non-appealable order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Merger by any governmental entity that would make consummation of the Merger illegal; or (iv) the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Company's stockholders shall not have been obtained;

(d) Any agreement on the part of any party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.
