FIRST PART:  TERM OF EMPLOYMENT, DUTIES AND SCOPE, COMPENSATION
             AND BENEFITS DURING EMPLOYMENT


SECTION 1:  TERM OF EMPLOYMENT

(a)      Basic Rule.  The Corporation agrees to continue the Employee's
         employment, and the Employee agrees to remain in employment with the
         Corporation, from _____________ ___, 199_, until the earliest of:

         (1)     The date of the Employee's death; or

         (2)     The date when the Employee's employment terminates pursuant to
                 Subsection (b), (c), (d) or (e) below.

(b)      Early Termination or Resignation.  The Corporation may terminate the
         Employee's employment for any reason by giving the Employee not less
         than 30 days' advance notice in writing.  The Employee may terminate
         the Employee's employment for any reason by giving the Corporation not
         less than 30 days' advance notice in writing.

(c)      Termination for Cause.  The Corporation may terminate the Employee's
         employment at any time for Cause shown by giving the Employee notice
         in writing and paying the Employee pay and benefits in lieu of advance
         notice to the extent that notice of termination was not given at least
         30 days in advance.  For all purposes under this Agreement, "Cause"
         shall mean (1) a willful failure by the Employee to substantially
         perform the Employee's duties under this Agreement, other than a
         failure resulting from the Employee's complete or partial incapacity
         due to physical or mental illness or impairment, (2) a willful act by
         the Employee that constitutes gross misconduct and that is injurious
         to the Corporation, (3) a willful breach by the Employee of a material
         provision of this Agreement or (4) a material and willful violation of
         a federal or state law or regulation applicable to the business of the
         Corporation.  No act, or failure to act, by the Employee shall be
         considered "willful" unless committed without good faith and without a
         reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the Corporation's
         best interest.

(d)      Termination for Disability.  The Corporation may terminate the
         Employee's employment for Disability by giving the Employee not less
         than six months' advance notice in writing.  For all purposes under
         this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean that the Employee, at the time
         notice is given, has been unable to perform the Employee's duties
         under this Agreement for a period of not less than six consecutive
         months as the result of the Employee's incapacity due to physical or
         mental illness.  In the event that the Employee resumes the
         performance of substantially all of the Employee's duties under this
         Agreement before the termination of the Employee's employment under
         this Section becomes effective, the notice of termination shall
         automatically be deemed to have been revoked.

(e)      Notice.  For all purposes under this Section 1, the employment
         relationship shall terminate on the date specified in the notice of
         termination.  Any waiver of notice





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

         shall be valid only if it is made in writing and expressly refers to
         the applicable notice requirement of this Section 1.  If the
         Corporation specifies a termination date that is earlier than the
         minimum advance notice date required under Subsection (b), (c) or (d)
         (as applicable), then the Employee is entitled to pay and benefits in
         lieu of the omitted period of advance notice.

(f)      Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement shall expire when all
         obligations of the parties hereunder have been satisfied.

         (1)     In General.  In addition, except as described in Paragraph 2
                 below, either the Corporation or the Employee may terminate
                 this Agreement for any reason, and without affecting the
                 Employee's status as an employee, by giving the other party
                 one year's advance notice in writing.

         (2)     After a Change In Control.  If a Change in Control occurs, the
                 Corporation may not provide notice of termination of this
                 Agreement under Paragraph (1) above within the two-year period
                 after the Change In Control.  In other words, in this case,
                 the effective date of the termination of the Agreement may be
                 no earlier than three years after the Change in Control.  For
                 all purposes under this Agreement, the term "Corporation"
                 shall include any successor to the Corporation's business
                 and/or assets that executes and delivers the assumption
                 agreement described in Subsection 18(a) of this Agreement or
                 that becomes bound by this Agreement by operation of law.

         A termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Subsection (f) shall
         be effective for all purposes at the end of the notice period, except
         that such termination shall not effect the payment or provision of
         compensation or benefits under this Agreement on account of a
         termination of employment occurring prior to the termination of this
         Agreement.

SECTION 2:  DUTIES AND SCOPE OF EMPLOYMENT

(a)      Position.  The Corporation agrees to employ the Employee for the term
         of employment under this Agreement in the position of
         ___________________ (as such position was defined in terms of
         responsibilities and compensation as of the effective date of this
         Agreement) or in another position offering comparable compensation,
         either with the Corporation, a Subsidiary, an Affiliate or a Joint
         Venture.  The Corporation, Subsidiary, Affiliate or Joint Venture
         directly employing the Employee is referred to in this Agreement as
         the "Employing Entity," and the Corporation, its Subsidiaries,
         Affiliates and Joint Ventures are referred to, in the aggregate, in
         this Agreement as the "AirTouch Group."

         For all purposes under this Agreement, the terms "Affiliate,"
         "Subsidiary" and "Joint Venture" shall mean the following:

         (1)     "Affiliate" shall mean any entity other than a Subsidiary, if
                 the Corporation and/or one or more Subsidiaries own(s) not
                 less than 50% of such entity.

<PAGE>   4
         (2)     "Subsidiary" shall mean any corporation (other than the
                 Corporation) in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning
                 with the Corporation, if each of the corporations other than
                 the last corporation in the unbroken chain owns stock
                 possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of
                 all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such
                 chain.

         (3)     "Joint Venture" shall mean any entity (other than a Subsidiary
                 or Affiliate) in which the Corporation and/or one or more
                 Subsidiaries and/or one or more Affiliates has a direct or
                 indirect ownership interest.

(b)      Obligations.  During the term of employment under this Agreement, the
         Employee shall devote the Employee's full business efforts and time to
         the Employing Entity and the AirTouch Group.  The foregoing shall not
         preclude the Employee from engaging in appropriate civic, charitable
         or religious activities or from devoting a reasonable amount of time
         to private investments or from serving on the boards of directors of
         other entities, as long as such activities and service do not
         interfere or conflict with the Employee's responsibilities to the
         Employing Entity and the AirTouch Group.

SECTION 3:  BASE COMPENSATION

During the term of employment under this Agreement, the Corporation agrees to
pay (itself or through the Employing Entity) the Employee as compensation for
services a base salary at the annual rate of $___,___, or at such higher rate
as the Corporation's Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of
Directors may determine from time to time.  Such salary shall be payable in
accordance with the standard payroll procedures of the Employing Entity.  Once
the Corporation's Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of
Directors has increased such salary, it thereafter shall not be reduced;
provided, however, that if a Change in Control has not occurred, such salary
(including any increases) may be reduced by the Corporation if (1) the Employee
commits an act or omission that meets the definition of Cause, as defined in
Section 1(c), or (2) the Employee and all other officers of the Corporation who
are parties to written employment agreements containing substantially the same
provisions as this Agreement have their salaries (including any increases)
reduced by the same percentage amount for the same time period.  The annual
compensation specified in this Section 3, together with any increases in such
compensation that the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation may grant from time to time, and together with any
reductions made in accordance with this Section 3, is referred to in this
Agreement as "Base Compensation."

SECTION 4:  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

(a)      In General.  During the term of employment under this Agreement, the
         Employee shall be eligible to participate in the employee benefit

         of the Corporation.  If, during the term of this Agreement, a Change
         in Control (as defined in Section 12) occurs with respect to the
         Corporation, then each of the incentive awards heretofore or hereafter
         granted to the Employee by the members of the AirTouch Group or their
         delegates shall become fully vested, fully exercisable or fully
         payable, as the case may be, any contrary provisions of such awards or
         the applicable plan notwithstanding.  The term "incentive award" shall
         include, without limitation, all awards under the AirTouch

         respect to the Corporation, then all of the Employee's supplemental
         pension benefits shall become fully vested, any contrary provisions of
         the applicable plan notwithstanding.  The term "supplemental pension
         benefit" shall include, without limitation, all benefits under the

         other retirement benefits provided under a plan or program of the

In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, the Corporation or
Employing Entity terminates the Employee's employment with the AirTouch Group

         Incentive Plan.

(b)      One Year of Life Insurance and Health Plan Coverage.  The coverage
         described in this Subsection (b) shall be provided for a "Continuation
         Period" beginning on the date when the employment termination is
         effective and ending on the earlier of (1) the first anniversary of
         the date when the employment termination is effective or (2) the date
         of the Employee's death.  During the Continuation Period, the Employee
         (and, where applicable, the Employee's dependents) shall be entitled
         to continue participation in the basic and supplemental group term
         life insurance plan and in the health care plan for employees
         maintained by the Employing Entity as if the Employee were still an
         employee of the Employing Entity, but only if the Employee does not

         of such plans shall be deemed to be equal to the Employee's
         compensation (as defined in such plans) in effect on the date of the
         employment termination.  To the extent that the Corporation finds it
         undesirable to cover the Employee under the group life insurance and
         health plans of the AirTouch Group, the Corporation shall provide the
         Employee (at its own expense) with the same level of coverage under
         individual policies.

(c)      Financial Counseling.  For a one-year period after termination of
         employment, the Corporation shall provide the Employee with
         professional financial counseling services comparable in scope and
         value to the financial counseling services made available to the
         Employee immediately prior to such termination of employment.

(d)      Release of Claims.  As a condition to the receipt of the payments and
         benefits described in this Section 7, the Employee shall be required
         to execute a release of all claims arising out of the Employee's
         employment or the termination thereof including, but not limited to,
         any claim of discrimination under state or federal law.

(e)      No Mitigation.  The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the
         amount of any payment or benefit contemplated by this Section 7, nor
         shall any such payment or benefit be reduced by any earnings or
         benefits that the Employee may receive from any other source.

SECTION 8:       OTHER TERMINATIONS UNDER THIS PART

If termination of employment, actual or constructive, occurs at a time that is
not within three years after a Change in Control, and the termination is not
described in Section 7, then the Employee is entitled only to the compensation,
benefits and reimbursements payable under the terms of Sections 3, 4  and 5 of
this Agreement for the period preceding the effective date of the termination.
The payments under this Agreement shall fully discharge all responsibilities of
the AirTouch Group to the Employee upon termination of the Employee's
employment.  This Section 8 applies, without limitation, to any termination of
employment initiated by the Employee, termination of employment caused by the
Employee's death or Disability, termination of the Employee for Cause, and any
constructive termination.

This Third Part of the Agreement, consisting of Sections 9 through 12,

SECTION 10:      INVOLUNTARY ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE

In the event that, during the term of this Agreement and within three years
after a Change in Control, the Employee's employment terminates in a Qualifying
Termination, as defined in Subsection (a), the Employee shall be entitled to
receive the payments and benefits described in Subsections (b), (c) and (d).

(a)      Qualifying Termination.  A Qualifying Termination occurs if the
         Corporation or Employing Entity terminates the Employee's employment
         with the AirTouch Group for any reason including, without limitation,
         Cause or Disability.  A Qualifying Termination also includes a
         "Constructive Termination," which means a material reduction in salary
         or benefits, a material change in responsibilities, or a requirement
         to relocate, except for office relocations that would not increase the
         Employee's one-way commute distance by more than 40 miles.

(b)      Severance (2x payment).  The Corporation shall pay to the Employee in
         a lump sum, not less than 31 days nor more than 120 days following the
         date of the employment termination, an amount equal to the following:

         (1)     Two times the Employee's Base Compensation in effect on the

                 Communications Short-Term Incentive Plan, for the Employee's
                 position as of the date of the termination.

         Any other provision of this Agreement or of the AirTouch
         Communications Short-Term Incentive Plan notwithstanding, after the
         amount described in this Subsection (b) has been paid to the Employee,
         the Employee shall have no further interest in such Short-Term
         Incentive Plan.

(c)      Two Years of Life Insurance and Health Plan Coverage.  The coverage
         described in this Subsection (c) shall be provided for a "Continuation
         Period" beginning on the date when the employment termination is
         effective and ending on the earlier of (1) the second anniversary of
         the date when the employment





                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9

         termination is effective or (2) the date of the Employee's death.
         During the Continuation Period, the Employee (and, where applicable,
         the Employee's dependents) shall be entitled to continue participation
         in the basic and supplemental group term life insurance plan and in
         the health care plan for employees maintained by the Employing Entity
         as if the Employee were still an employee of the Employing Entity, but
         only if the Employee does not elect any continuation coverage under
         Part 6 of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
         1974, as amended.  Where applicable, the Employee's compensation for
         purposes of such plans shall be deemed to be equal to the Employee's
         compensation (as defined in such plans) in effect on the date of the
         employment termination.  To the extent that the Corporation finds it
         undesirable to cover the Employee under the group life insurance and
         health plans of the AirTouch Group, the Corporation shall provide the
         Employee (at its own expense) with the same level of coverage under
         individual policies.

(d)      Financial Counseling.  For a one-year period after termination of
         employment, the Corporation shall provide the Employee with
         professional financial counseling services comparable in scope and
         value to the financial counseling services made available to the
         Employee immediately prior to the Change in Control.

(e)      Penalty for Late or Refused Payment.  If the Corporation refuses or
         fails to timely pay or provide the compensation and benefits specified
         in this Section 10 upon demand as provided in Section 19(c), and if
         such refusal or failure is not corrected within 10 business days after
         the Employee provides written notice to the Corporation concerning the
         refusal or failure, then the Corporation shall pay immediately to the
         Employee an additional amount equal to 50% of the Employee's Base
         Compensation.  This provision shall apply only once.

(f)      No Mitigation.  The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the
         amount of any payment or benefit contemplated by this Section 10, nor
         shall any such payment or benefit be reduced by any earnings or
         benefits that the Employee may receive from any other source.

SECTION 11:      OTHER TERMINATIONS UNDER THIS PART

If termination of employment, actual or constructive, occurs at a time that is
within three years after a Change in Control, and the termination is not
described in Section 10, then the Employee is entitled only to the
compensation, benefits and reimbursements payable under the terms of Sections
3, 4  and 5 of this Agreement for the period preceding the effective date of
the termination.  The payments under this Agreement shall fully discharge all
responsibilities of the AirTouch Group to the Employee upon termination of the
Employee's employment.  This Section 11 applies, without limitation, to any
termination of employment initiated by the Employee (except an
Employee-initiated termination in response to a "Constructive Termination," as
defined in Section 10(a)), termination of employment caused by the Employee's
death, and any constructive termination that does not meet the requirements of
a "Constructive Termination" defined in Section 10(a).

SECTION 12:      DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL

For all purposes under this Agreement, "Change in Control" shall mean a "Change
in Control" of the Corporation, as defined in the AirTouch Communications, Inc.
Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (or the successor to such plan).

FOURTH PART:     PARACHUTE PAYMENTS


SECTION 13:      GENERAL RULE ON LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS

Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
that the independent auditors retained by the Corporation most recently prior
to a Change in Control (the "Auditors") determine that any payment or transfer
by the AirTouch Group to or for the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or
payable (or transferred or transferable) pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or otherwise (a "Payment"), would be nondeductible by the Corporation
or any member of the AirTouch Group for federal income tax purposes because of
section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present value of all Payments
shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount.  For purposes of
this Section 13, the "Reduced Amount" shall be the amount, expressed as a
present value, that maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments
without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Corporation or any
member of the AirTouch Group because of section 280G of the Code.

SECTION 14:      REDUCTION OF PAYMENTS

If the Auditors determine that any Payment would be nondeductible by the
Corporation or any member of the AirTouch Group because of section 280G of the
Code, then the Corporation, within five business days after being notified by
the Auditors, shall give the Employee notice to that effect and a copy of the
detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount.  The Employee may then
elect, in the Employee's sole discretion, which and how much of the Payments
shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate
present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall advise the
Corporation in writing of this election within thirty (30) days of receipt of
notice.  If no such election is made by the Employee within such thirty (30)
day period, then the Corporation may elect which and how much of the Payments
shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate
present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the
Employee promptly of such election.  For purposes of this Section 14, present
values shall be determined in accordance with section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.
All determinations made by the Auditors under this Section 14 shall be binding
upon the Corporation and the Employee and shall be made within 60 days of the
date of the employment termination.

SECTION 15:      OVERPAYMENTS AND UNDERPAYMENTS

As a result of uncertainty in the application of section 280G of the Code at
the time of an initial determination by the Auditors hereunder, it is possible
that Payments will have been made by the AirTouch Group that should not have
been made (an "Overpayment") or that additional Payments that will not have
been made by the Corporation could have been made (an "Underpayment"),
consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder.
In the event that the Auditors, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the
Internal Revenue Service against the Corporation, a member of the AirTouch
Group or the Employee that the Auditors believe has a high probability of
success, determine that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be
treated for all purposes as a loan to the Employee that the Employee shall
repay to the Corporation (or the appropriate member of the AirTouch Group),
together with interest





                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12

at the applicable federal rate provided for in section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the
Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be so payable by the Employee if
and to the extent that such payment would not reduce the amount that is subject
to taxation under section 4999 of the Code.  In the event that the Auditors
determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such Underpayment shall promptly
be paid or transferred by the Corporation to or for the benefit of the
Employee, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in
section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.

SECTION 16:     COMPENSATION AND PERSONNEL COMMITTEE'S ABILITY TO WAIVE
                LIMITATIONS

At any time, and in its sole discretion, the Corporation's Compensation and
Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors may elect to waive, in whole or
in part, the reduction of a Payment, notwithstanding the determination that
such Payment will be nondeductible by the Corporation (or other member of the
AirTouch Group) for federal income tax purposes because of section 280G of the
Code.

FIFTH PART:      TRADE SECRETS, SUCCESSORS, MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS, SIGNATURE
                 PAGE


SECTION 17:  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

(a)      Acknowledgement.  The Corporation and the Employee acknowledge that
         the services to be performed by the Employee under this Agreement are
         unique and extraordinary and that, as a result of the Employee's
         employment, the Employee will be in a relationship of confidence and
         trust with the Corporation and will come into possession of
         "Confidential Information" (1) owned or controlled by the AirTouch
         Group, (2) in the possession of the AirTouch Group and belonging to
         third parties or (3) conceived, originated, discovered or developed,
         in whole or in part, by the Employee.  As used herein "Confidential
         Information" includes trade secrets and other confidential or
         proprietary business, technical, personnel or financial information,
         whether or not the Employee's work product, in written, graphic, oral
         or other tangible or intangible forms, including but not limited to
         specifications, samples, records, data, computer programs, drawings,
         diagrams, models, customer names, business or marketing plans,
         studies, analyses, projections and reports, communications by or to
         attorneys (including attorney-client privileged communications), memos
         and other materials prepared by attorneys or under their direction
         (including attorney work product), and software systems and processes.
         Any information that is not readily available to the public shall be
         considered to be a trade secret and confidential and proprietary, even
         if it is not specifically marked as such, unless the Corporation
         advises the Employee otherwise in writing.

(b)      Nondisclosure.  The Employee agrees that the Employee will not,
         without the prior written consent of the Corporation, directly or
         indirectly use or disclose Confidential Information to any person,
         during or after the Employee's employment, except as may be necessary
         in the ordinary course of performing the Employee's duties under this
         Agreement.  The Employee will keep the Confidential Information in
         strictest confidence and trust.  This Section 17 shall apply
         indefinitely, both during and after the term of this Agreement.

(c)      Surrender Upon Termination.  The Employee agrees that in the event of
         the termination of the Employee's employment for any reason, the
         Employee will immediately deliver to the Corporation (and/or other
         members of the AirTouch Group, as applicable) all property belonging
         to the AirTouch Group, including all documents and materials of any
         nature pertaining to the Employee's work with the AirTouch Group, and
         will not take with the Employee any documents or materials of any
         description, or any reproduction thereof of any description,
         containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information.  It is
         understood that the Employee is free to use information that is in the
         public domain (not as a result of a breach of this Agreement).

SECTION 18:  SUCCESSORS

(a)      Corporation's Successors.  The Corporation shall require any successor
         (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger,





                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14

         consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all
         of the Corporation's business and/or assets, by an agreement in
         substance and form satisfactory to the Employee, to assume this
         Agreement and to agree expressly to perform this Agreement in the same
         manner and to the same extent as the Corporation would be required to
         perform it in the absence of a succession.  The Corporation's failure
         to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of a succession
         shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Employee to
         all of the compensation and benefits to which the Employee would have
         been entitled hereunder if the Corporation had involuntarily
         terminated the Employee's employment without Cause or Disability, on
         the date when such succession becomes effective.

(b)      Employee's Successors.  This Agreement and all rights of the Employee
         hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the
         Employee's personal or legal representatives, executors,
         administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and
         legatees.

SECTION 19:  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

(a)      Waiver.  No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or
         discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to
         in writing and signed by the Employee and by an authorized officer of
         the Corporation (other than the Employee).  No waiver by either party
         of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of
         this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any
         other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at
         another time.

(b)      Whole Agreement.  No agreements, representations or understandings
         (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) that are not
         expressly set forth in this Agreement have been made or entered into
         by either party with respect to the subject matter hereof.  In
         addition, the Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that this
         Agreement supersedes in its entirety any employment agreement between
         the Employee and the Corporation in effect immediately prior to the
         effective date of this Agreement.  As of the effective date of this
         Agreement, such employment agreement shall terminate without any
         further obligation by either party thereto, and the Employee hereby
         relinquishes any further rights that the Employee may have had under
         such prior employment agreement.

(c)      Presumption.  Subject to the provisions of Section 13, the Corporation
         shall make or cause to be made a payment described in this Agreement
         upon receiving written notice from the Employee describing such
         payment, referring to the provision of this Agreement under which such
         payment is claimed and certifying that all conditions for such
         payment, as set forth in this Agreement, have been satisfied.  The
         information so furnished to the Corporation by the Employee shall be
         presumed to be correct, subject to rebuttal by the Corporation after
         payment.  After making the payment claimed by the Employee, the
         Corporation may seek a refund of such payment in accordance with
         Subsection (h) below.  This Subsection (c) shall not be used to cause
         a payment to be made at a time earlier than provided in this
         Agreement.





                                      -14-
<PAGE>   15
(d)      Notice.  Notices and all other communications contemplated by this
         Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
         given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or
         certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid.  In the
         case of the Employee, mailed notices shall be addressed to the
         Employee at the home address that the Employee most recently
         communicated to the Corporation in writing.  In the case of the
         Corporation, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate
         headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of
         its Secretary.

(e)      No Setoff.  There shall be no right of setoff or counterclaim, with
         respect to any claim, debt or obligation, against payments to the
         Employee under this Agreement.

(f)      Choice of Law.  The validity, interpretation, construction and
         performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
         State of California, irrespective of California's choice-of-law
         principles.

(g)      Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or
         provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
         enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in
         full force and effect.

(h)      Arbitration.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 13, any dispute
         or controversy arising out of the Employee's employment or the
         termination thereof, including, but not limited to, any claim of
         discrimination under state or federal law, shall be settled
         exclusively by arbitration in San Francisco, California, in accordance
         with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.
         Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having
         jurisdiction.  The foregoing notwithstanding, a dispute or controversy
         over whether Cause exists for the termination of an Employee, whether
         such termination occurred within three years after a Change in
         Control, or a dispute or controversy over whether a Constructive
         Termination has occurred, shall be arbitrated by a three-member panel
         of the outside directors of the Corporation, with the selection of the
         panel to be made by the Chairman, as of one year prior to the Change
         in Control, of the Corporation's Board of Directors.  If three such
         individuals are unwilling to serve as arbitrators, the preceding
         sentence shall be inapplicable, and all disputes and controversies
         shall be subject to arbitration in accordance with the rules of the
         American Arbitration Association, as provided above in this
         Subsection.  For purposes of this Subsection, "outside directors"
         shall mean members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, as
         such Board of Directors was constituted one year prior to the Change
         in Control, who were not employees of the Corporation or another
         member of the AirTouch Group one year prior to the Change in Control.

(i)      No Assignment of Benefits.  The rights of any person to payments or
         benefits under this Agreement shall not be made subject to option or
         assignment, either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by
         operation of law, including (without limitation) bankruptcy,
         garnishment, attachment or other creditor's process, and any action in
         violation of this Subsection (i) shall be void.





                                      -15-
<PAGE>   16
(j)      Employment at Will; Limitation of Remedies.  The Corporation and the
         Employee acknowledge that the Employee's employment is at will, as
         defined under applicable law.  If the Employee's employment terminates
         for any reason, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments,
         benefits, damages, awards or compensation other than as provided by
         this Agreement.

(k)      Employment Taxes.  All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall
         be subject to withholding of applicable taxes.

(l)      Benefit Coverage Non-Additive.  In the event that the Employee is
         entitled to life insurance and health plan coverage under more than
         one provision hereunder, only one provision shall apply, and neither
         the periods of coverage nor the amounts of benefits shall be additive.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  each of the parties has executed this Agreement, in the
case of the Corporation by its duly authorized officer, as of the day and year
first above written.
