Re: INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This letter is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting
Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") entered into by and between Granahan
McCourt Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (the "Underwriter"), relating to an underwritten
initial public offering (the "IPO") of the Company's units (the "Units"), each
comprised of one share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share (the "Common Stock"), and one warrant, which is exercisable for one share
of Common Stock (a "Warrant"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined
in paragraph 12 hereof.

     In order to induce the Company and the Underwriter to enter into the
Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the
benefit that such IPO will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder of the
Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees with
the Company and the Underwriter as follows:

     1. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business
Combination, the undersigned will vote all Insider Shares owned by the
undersigned in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders
of the IPO Shares. For clarity, the undersigned may vote IPO Shares
(including such shares purchased by the undersigned in the aftermarket) owned
by the undersigned in any manner that the undersigned chooses.

     2. (i) [In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business
Combination within (a) 18 months after the consummation of the IPO, unless a
letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement has been
executed with respect to a Business Combination within such 18 month period, (an
18-Month Execution Failure") or (b) 24 months after the consummation of the IPO,
if a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement has been
executed with respect to a Business Combination within 18 months from the
consummation

<Page>

of the IPO but the Business Combination has not been consummated within such 18
month period ("24-Month Transaction Failure") (the date of the first such
failure to occur being the "Transaction Failure Date"), the undersigned will
take all reasonable actions within the undersigned's power and as permitted
under applicable laws to (1) within a reasonable time prior to the expiration of
such 18 or 24 month period, as the case may be, adopt and vote to recommend to
the Company's stockholders a specific plan of dissolution and liquidation to be
included in a proxy statement to seek stockholder approval for such plan of
dissolution and liquidation in the event that the Company fails to so consummate
a Business Combination within such 18- or 24-month period, as the case may be,
(2) cause to be prepared a preliminary proxy statement that sets forth such plan
of dissolution and liquidation and recommends that the Company's stockholders
approve such plan, (3) not later than fifteen (15) days after the expiration of
such 18 or 24 month period, as the case may be, adopt a resolution pursuant to
Section 275(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law finding the dissolution
of the Company advisable and provide such notices to the Company's stockholders
as are required by Section 275(a) as promptly thereafter as possible and (4)
take such other actions in connection with the liquidation of the Company as are
required by the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws.](1) In the
event of an 18-Month Execution Failure or 24-Month Transaction Failure, as the
case may be, the undersigned will take all reasonable actions within the
undersigned's power and as permitted under applicable laws to (x) cause the
preliminary proxy statement setting forth the specific plan of dissolution and
liquidation approved by the Company's board of directors to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") promptly after the expiration of
the 18- or 24-month period, as the case may be, AND (y) cause a meeting of the
Company's stockholders to consider such plan of dissolution and liquidation to
be held. The undersigned will vote all shares of Common Stock, including Insider
Shares and IPO Shares, owned directly or indirectly by the undersigned in favor
of such plan of dissolution and liquidation.

          (ii) In the event that the Company's stockholders approve a plan of
dissolution and liquidation in connection with an 18-Month Execution Failure or
24-Month Transaction Failure, as the case may be, the undersigned will take all
reasonable actions within the undersigned's power and as permitted under
applicable laws to (i) cause the Trust Fund to be liquidated and, after paying
or reserving for payment the Company's liabilities, distributed to the holders
of the IPO Shares as soon as practicable but in no event later than 60 (sixty)
calendar days after the Transaction Failure Date and (ii) cause the Company to
dissolve and liquidate as soon as practicable (the earliest date on which the
conditions in clauses (i) and (ii) are both satisfied being the "Liquidation
Date"). The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or
claim of any kind in or to any distributions of the Trust Fund as a result of
such distribution, or to any other amounts distributed in connection with a
liquidating distribution of the Company including with respect to the
undersigned's Insider Shares but other than with respect to any IPO Shares
owned by the undersigned ("Claim") and hereby waives any Claim the
undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any
contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against
the Trust Fund

----------
(1)   This section of the agreement will appear only in the agreements executed
     by the directors of the Company.

for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned hereby agrees that the Company shall
be entitled to reimbursement from the undersigned for any distribution of the
Trust Fund, or any other amounts distributed by the Company in connection with a
liquidating distribution, received by the undersigned in respect of such
person's Insider Shares.

      3. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.](2) [Subsequent to the Transaction Failure Date,
the undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, against any
and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but
not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as
a result of (i) any claim by any vendor or service provider who is owed money by
the Company for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or (ii) any
claim by any acquisition target, but in each case only to the extent (a) such
vendor, service provider, or acquisition target has not executed a waiver of
rights or claims to the Trust Fund, and (b) necessary to ensure that such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount in the Trust Fund
(or, in the event that such claim arises after the distribution of the Trust
Fund, to the extent necessary to ensure that the Company's former stockholders
are not liable for any amount of such loss, liability, claim, damage or
expense). For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing indemnification obligation of
the undersigned shall not apply to claims under the Company's indemnification of
the underwriters of the offering against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. In the event the Company's assets
held outside the Trust Fund are insufficient to pay the costs and expenses of
dissolution and liquidation of the Company, the undersigned agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless th
