the Restricted Stock Units that continue
after a Change in Control, including any
restricted stock units that result from
the assumption of or substitution for the
Restricted Stock Units in connection with
the Change in Control, will not become
fully vested and payable as of the date a

company without Cause or if you terminate
your employment for Good Reason.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause"

demonstrably injurious to AT&T

any material failure to devote all

attention and effort to the business
and affairs of AT&T Wireless or a
successor company and to the
discharge of the responsibilities
assigned to you, and to use your
best efforts to perform faithfully
and efficiently in such
responsibilities.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Good
Reason" means the occurrence of any of the
following events following a Change in
Control, without your prior written
consent, which is not cured by AT&T

your Required Compensation in your
base salary or your target annual

provided to you under pension,
welfare and fringe benefit plans,
programs, policies and agreements
that, in the aggregate, reduces the
actuarial equivalent value of such
benefits by at least 5%.

adds more than 50 miles to your
daily round-trip commute as of the
Change in Control.
(5) A substantial and adverse change in,
or a substantial reduction of, your
duties and responsibilities or a
substantial diminution of your
authority following the Change in
Control including, but not limited
to, (a) a change in duties or
responsibilities or a diminution of
authority that is the result of your
ceasing to be an employee of an
entity that is at least 55%
publicly-traded (based on the then
outstanding shares of common stock
of AT&T Wireless or a successor
company and the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting
securities of AT&T Wireless or a
successor company entitled to vote
generally in the election of
directors) or your becoming an
employee of a subsidiary of AT&T
Wireless or a successor company or
(b) an adverse change in your
reporting relationship with respect
to the Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer or President of AT&T
Wireless or a successor company;
provided, however, that there will
not be a demotion for purposes of
this paragraph based on isolated or
inadvertent action which is remedied
by AT&T Wireless or a successor
company promptly after receipt of
notice thereof from you.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Required
Compensation" means:
(1) The higher of (a) your base salary
and target annual incentive bonus
percentage in effect immediately
prior to the Change in Control and
(ii) your highest base salary and
target annual incentive bonus

DIVIDENDS A cash payment in an amount equal to the
dividend payable on one Share will be made
to you on the record date for such
dividend for each Restricted Stock Unit
held by you that has not been forfeited,
cancelled or converted to a Share and
distributed.
WITHHOLDING AT&T Wireless will have the right to
deduct or cause to be deducted from, or
collect or cause to be collected with
respect to, any distribution hereunder any
federal, state or local taxes required by
law to be withheld or paid with respect to
such distribution, as may be necessary, in
AT&T Wireless's opinion, to satisfy such
obligations. Upon AT&T Wireless's consent,
you may elect to satisfy such withholding
tax obligations by requesting that AT&T
Wireless withhold Shares otherwise
deliverable upon any distribution
hereunder.
TRANSFERABILITY At all times during the Restriction Period
and any deferral period, the Restricted
Stock Units awarded hereunder are
nontransferable, and may not be pledged,
assigned or alienated in any way.
-2-
BENEFICIARY You may, in accordance with procedures
established by the Committee, designate
one or more beneficiaries to receive all
or part of any distribution to be made
hereunder in case of your death, and you
may change or revoke such designation at
any time. In the event of your death, any
distribution hereunder that is subject to
such a designation (to the extent such
designation is valid and enforceable under
applicable law) will be made to such
beneficiary or beneficiaries in accordance
with this Agreement. Any other
distribution hereunder will be made to
your estate. If there is any question as
to the legal right of any beneficiary to
receive a distribution hereunder, the
amount in question may be paid to your
estate, in which event neither AT&T
Wireless nor any Affiliate will have any
further liability to anyone with respect
to such amount.
EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS Neither the Plan nor the Award will be
construed as giving you the right to be
retained in the employ of AT&T Wireless or
any Affiliate.
OTHER CORPORATE PROVISIONS If AT&T Wireless determines, on advice of
counsel, that the listing, registration or
qualification of the Shares on any
securities exchange or under any state or
federal law, or the consent or approval of
any governmental or regulatory agency or
authority, is necessary or desirable as a
condition of or in connection with a
distribution hereunder, no portion of the
Award may be distributed until or unless
such listing, registration, qualification,
consent or approval has been effected or
obtained.
Any determination or decisions made or
actions taken arising out of or in
connection with the interpretation and
administration of this Agreement and the
Plan by the AT&T Wireless Board or the
Committee will be final and conclusive.
This Agreement may be amended by the AT&T
Wireless Board or the Committee, provided
that no such amendment may impair your
rights hereunder without your consent.
The validity, construction and effect of
this Agreement will be determined in
accordance with the laws of the State of
Washington, without giving effect to
principles of conflict of laws, and
applicable federal law.
