      The
purpose of the 2005 Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (the “SERP” or the
"Plan") is to provide Participants with retirement benefits to supplement
benefits payable pursuant to qualified group pension plans sponsored by AT&T
or an affiliate of AT&T.  The Plan is a successor to the AT&T
Supplemental Retirement Income Plan (“SRIP”) that was effective January 1, 1984
and which was amended, effective December 31, 2004, to cease accruals so that
the benefits payable under the SRIP shall be grandfathered and administered in
accordance with the provisions of the SRIP in a manner that does not invoke
Section 409A of the Code.

may elect one of the following Benefit Payout Alternatives:

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                        
      (a)

              	
                Life with a 10-Year
      Certain Benefit.  An annuity payable during the longer of
      (i) the life of the Participant or (ii) the 10-year period commencing on
      the Participant’s Termination of Employment and ending on the day next
      preceding the tenth anniversary of such date (the "Life With 10-Year
      Certain Benefit").  If a Participant who is receiving a Life
      with 10-Year Certain Benefit dies prior to the expiration of the 10-year
      period described in this Section 4.2(a), the Participant's Beneficiary
      shall be entitled to receive the remaining Life With 10-Year Certain
      Benefit installments which would have been paid to the Participant had the
      Participant survived for the entire such 10-year
  period.

              


      

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                        
      (b)

              	
                Joint and 100%
      Survivor Benefit.  A joint and one hundred percent (100%)
      survivor annuity payable for life to the Participant and at his or her
      death to his or her Beneficiary, in an amount equal to one hundred percent
      (100%) of the amount payable during the Participant's life, for life (the
      "Joint and 100% Survivor Benefit").

              


      

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                        
      (c)

              	
                Joint and 50% Survivor
      Benefit.  A joint and fifty percent (50%) survivor
      annuity payable for life to the Participant and at his or her death to his
      or her Beneficiary, in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the
      amount payable during the Participant's life, for life (the "Joint and 50%
      Survivor Benefit").

              


      

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                        
      (d)

              	
                Lump Sum
      Benefit.  A lump sum benefit, which shall apply only if
      the Participant has attained the age of fifty-five (55) years as of his or
      her Termination of Employment.  If a Participant elects a lump
      sum benefit but realizes a Termination of Employment prior to attaining
      age fifty-five (55), the Participant’s SERP Benefit shall be paid as
      provided in Section 4.2(a), 4.2(b) or 4.2(c), as elected or deemed elected
      by the Participant.

              


      

       

      


    

    
      The
Benefit Payout Alternatives described in Section 4.2(b), 4.2(c) and 4.2(d) shall
be the actuarially determined equivalent (using the same reasonable actuarial
assumptions and methods for valuing each Benefit Payout Alternative as
determined by the SEVP-HR in his or her complete and sole discretion) of the
Life With 10-Year Certain Benefit that is converted by such
election.  The amount of a Participant's lump sum benefit shall be
calculated as of the Participant's Termination of Employment by applying the
Mortality Tables and the GAAP Rate, both as in effect for the calendar year
immediately preceding the calendar year of the Participant’s Termination of
Employment, but using the Participant’s age, Years of Service and other factors
as of the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

                Individual Who Is A
      Participant On or Before December 31, 2008.  An
      individual who was a Participant on or before December 31, 2008 may make
      an irrevocable election of a Benefit Payout Alternative before the earlier
      of December 31 of the year immediately preceding his or her Termination of
      Employment or December 31, 2008 by delivery of such election, in writing,
      telecopy, email or in another electronic format, pursuant to or as
      instructed by the SEVP-HR (as determined by the SEVP-HR in his or her sole
      and absolute discretion).

                Individual Who Becomes
      A Participant After December 31, 2008.  An individual who
      becomes a Participant after December 31, 2008 may make an irrevocable
      election of a Benefit Payout Alternative no later than the thirtieth
      (30th)
      day immediately following the Participant’s SERP Effective Date by
      delivery of such election in writing, telecopy, email or in another
      electronic format, pursuant to or as instructed by the SEVP-HR (as
      determined by the SEVP-HR in his or her sole and absolute
      discretion).

              


      

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                       
      (c)

              	
                Failure to Timely Make
      a Distribution Election.  If a Participant fails to make
      a timely election of a Benefit Payout Alternative as provided in Section
      4.3(a) or 4.3(b), such Participant shall be deemed to have elected and
      such Participant's form of benefit shall be the Life With 10-Year Certain
      Benefit described in Section
4.2(a).

              


      

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                        
      (d)

              	
                Death of or Divorce
      from Annuitant During Participant’s
      Lifetime.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
      Plan to the contrary, in the event of the death of a designated annuitant
      during the life of the Participant, the Participant's election to have a
      Benefit Payout Alternative described in Section 4.2(b) or 4.2(c) shall,
      without any action by the Participant, be revoked, and the Participant’s
      benefit, or remaining benefit, under the Plan, as the case may be, shall
      be paid as provided in Section 4.2(a).  Any conversion of
      benefit from one form to another pursuant to the provisions of this
      paragraph shall use the same reasonable actuarial assumptions and methods
      for valuing each annuity form of benefit before and after the death of the
      designated annuitant and shall be subject to actuarial adjustment (as
      determined by the SEVP-HR in his or her complete and sole discretion) such
      that the Participant's new benefit is the actuarial equivalent of the
      Participant's remaining prior form of benefit.  Payments
      pursuant to Participant's new form of benefit shall be effective
      commencing with the first monthly payment for the month following the
      death of the annuitant.

              


      

       

      
 

    

    
      Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event of the divorce or
legal separation of the Participant, the Participant’s election to have a
Benefit Payout Alternative described in Section 4.2(b) or 4.2(c), with a
survivor annuity for the benefit of the Participant's former spouse as
Beneficiary, shall, without any action by the Participant, be revoked, and the
Participant's benefit, or remaining benefit, under the Plan, as the case may be,
shall be paid as provided in Section 4.2(a) (using the same reasonable actuarial
assumptions and methods for valuing each annuity form of benefit before and
after the divorce or legal separation  and shall be subject to
actuarial adjustment (as determined by the SEVP-HR in his or her complete and
sole discretion).  In such event, the 10-Year period as described in
Section 4.2(a) shall be the same 10-year period as if such form of benefit was
the form of benefit originally selected and the expiration date of such period
shall not be extended beyond its original expiration date.  Payments
pursuant to Participant’s new form of benefit shall be effective commencing with
the first monthly payment following notice from the Participant to the SEVP-HR
after the divorce (or legal separation) becomes final.

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                        
      (e)

              	
                Special Provisions for
      Lump Sum Benefit Election.  A Participant who elects a
      lump sum benefit under Section 4.2(d) must, contemporaneous with such Lump
      Sum Benefit election, elect a specific number of year(s), not to exceed
      twenty (20) years, following his or her Termination of Employment upon
      which the lump sum benefit (including any interest accrued thereon) shall
      be distributed; provided, however,

              


      

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                               
      (i)

              	
                the Participant may
      not receive more than thirty percent (30%) of his or her lump sum benefit
      (excluding any interest thereon) until the third (3rd) anniversary of his
      or her Termination of Employment; provided, however, if the
      Participant is age sixty (60) or older as of his or her Termination of
      Employment, the Participant, if elected in his or her timely filed
      election of a Benefit Payout Alternative, may receive one hundred percent
      (100%) of his or her lump sum benefit upon the day that is six (6) months
      following his or her Termination of Employment if he or she agrees, in
      writing, substantially in the form provided in Attachment A, not to
      compete with an Employer Business within the meaning of Section 8.2 for a
      period of three (3) years from such Participant’s Termination of
      Employment and further agrees that if he or she fails to abide by such
      agreement, the non-compete agreement is challenged, or the non-compete
      agreement is unenforceable, he or she shall forfeit all benefits hereunder
      and repay the lump sum benefit to AT&T;
      and

              


      

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                                
      (ii)

              	
                prior
      to distribution of the Participant’s lump sum benefit, interest on such
      lump sum benefit shall accrue and shall be added to the Participant’s lump
      sum benefit or distributed monthly, as elected by the Participant in his
      or her election of a
      Benefit Payout Alternative.

              


      

       

      


    

    
      A
Participant’s lump sum benefit payment schedule must comply with the rules for
payment schedules as adopted by the SEVP-HR (as determined by the SEVP-HR in his
or her sole and absolute discretion), which, for example, may require payment of
principal to be made no more frequently than once per calendar
year.

       

      


    

    
      If the
payment schedule elected by a Participant does not comply with the rules for
payment schedules, (i) thirty percent (30%) of such Participant’s lump sum
benefit shall be paid to the Participant upon the date that is six (6) months
following the Participant’s Termination of Employment, and (ii) the
remaining seventy percent (70%) shall be paid to the Participant on the third
(3rd)
anniversary of such Participant’s Termination of Employment.

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                       
      (f)

              	
                Lump Sum Benefit
      Account Balance.  From and after a Participant’s
      Termination of Employment, the SEVP-HR shall maintain records of a lump
      sum benefit account balance for each Participant who elected a lump sum
      benefit.  During such period of time that all or any portion of
      a Participant’s lump sum benefit is not paid, interest shall be credited
      using the same methodology used by AT&T for financial accounting
      purposes using the GAAP Rate that was used to calculate such Participant’s
      lump sum benefit.  Payments of principal and interest shall be
      deducted from the lump sum benefit account
  balance.

              


      

       

      


    

    
      A
Participant whose employment has not terminated may change a prior distribution
election at any time on or before December 31, 2008, provided, however, if the
Participant’s employment terminates for any reason in the calendar year in which
the new distribution election is filed, such new election shall be null and
void.  In the event the Participant’s new election is null and void,
the Participant’s prior election, if any, shall apply.  If there is no
prior election, the Plan’s default distribution provisions shall
apply.

              Death or Disability
      Benefits.

                Death Following
      Termination of Employment.

              


      

       

      


    

    
      If a
Participant who has commenced payment of his or her SERP benefit hereunder dies,
his or her Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the remaining SERP benefit
in accordance with the Benefit Payout Alternative elected or deemed elected by
the Participant.

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                          
      5.2  

              	
                Death Prior to
      Termination of Employment.

              


      

       

      


    

    
      If a
Participant dies prior to his or her Termination of Employment, a pre-retirement
death benefit will be calculated and paid as though the Participant had
Retired  (determined without regard to the 5 Years of Service or the 4
Years of Participation requirements) on the day prior to the date of
death.  The pre-retirement death benefit shall be paid at such time
and in such form as timely elected or deemed elected by the Participant;
provided, if the Participant elected or is deemed to have elected any form of an
annuity, such pre-retirement death benefit shall be paid as a Beneficiary Life
Annuity (as such term is hereinafter described) based on the life expectancy of
the Beneficiary, and, if the Participant elected or is deemed to have elected a
Life with a 10-Year Certain Benefit, such Beneficiary Life Annuity shall
continue for the longer of (i) the Beneficiary’s life, or (ii) the 10 year
period commencing on the Participant’s death.  If paid as a
Beneficiary Life Annuity, such benefit shall be the actuarially determined
equivalent using the same reasonable actuarial assumptions and methods (as
determined by the SEVP-HR in his or her complete and sole discretion) of the
Life With 10-Year Certain Benefit that would have been paid to the Participant
had he or she Retired on the day immediately prior to his or her
death.  If the Participant had timely elected and qualified to receive
a Lump Sum Benefit, it shall be calculated in the same manner as provided in
Section 4.2 as if the Participant were alive; e.g., calculated as of the
Participant's death applying the Mortality Tables and the GAAP Rate, both as in
effect for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year of the
Participant’s death, but using the Participant’s age, Years of Service and other
factors as of the Participant’s date of death.

                Disability.

              


      

       

      


    

    
      Upon a
Participant's Termination of Employment and contemporaneous qualification for
receipt of long term disability benefits under an AT&T or AT&T affiliate
sponsored long term disability benefit plan in which the Participant
participates prior to being Retirement Eligible (without regard to the 5 Years
of Service or 4 Years of Participation requirements), the Participant will
continue to accrue Years of Service during such disability until the earliest of
his or her:

                Recovery

      (b)

              	
                Retirement
      (determined without regard to the 5 Years of Service or 4 Years of
      Participation requirements), or

              


      

       

      


    

    
      
        	
                        
      (c)

              	
                Death.

              


      

       

      


    

    
      Upon the
occurrence of either (a) Participant's recovery from Disability prior to his or
her Retirement Eligibility if Participant does not return to employment, or (b)
Participant's Retirement (determined without regard to the 5 Years of Service or
4 Years of Participation requirements), the Participant shall be entitled to
receive a SERP Benefit as if he or she realized a Termination of Employment as
of the date of such occurrence.

       

      


    

    
      For
purposes of calculating the foregoing benefit, the Participant's Final Average
Earnings shall be determined using his or her Earnings history as of the date of
his or her Disability.

       

      


    

    
      If a
Participant who continues to have a Disability dies prior to his or her
Retirement Eligibility (without regard to the 5 Years of Service or 4 Years of
Participation requirements), the Participant will be treated in the same manner
as if he or she had died while in employment (See Section 5.2).

      (a)

              	
                Except
      as provided in Section 5.3, benefit payments shall commence pursuant to
      the Benefit Payout Alternative elected by the Participant in his or her
      Agreement on the date that is six (6) months following his or her
      Termination of Employment; provided, however, if the Participant dies
      after Termination of Employment and prior to the lapse of such six (6)
      month period, benefit payments shall commence upon the Participant’s
      death.  If a Participant elected (or is deemed to have elected)
      an annuity form of benefit under Section 4.2(a), 4.2(b) or 4.2(c), the
      aggregate monthly amount that would be paid between the Participant’s
      Termination of Employment through the date that benefit payments actually
      commence, shall be paid in a lump sum on the date that benefit payments
      actually commence hereunder.  In addition, during the period of
      time between a Participant’s Termination of Employment and the date that
      annuity payments hereunder actually commence, interest shall be credited
      on the withheld annuity amounts for such period of time that each annuity
      payment is withheld.  The credited interest shall be paid in a
      lump sum on the date that payments hereunder actually
      commence.  Interest shall be credited using the GAAP Rate in
      effect for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year of
      the Participant’s Termination of
Employment.

                Notwithstanding
      the designation of a specific date for commencement of payment of a
      distribution hereunder, commencement of payments under this Plan may be
      delayed for administrative reasons in the discretion of the SEVP-HR, but
      shall begin not later than sixty (60) days following the date upon which
      payment(s) would otherwise commence under this Plan. A Participant shall
      not have the right to designate or participate in the decision as to the
      taxable year of benefit
commencement.

                A
      payment may be made from the Plan to reflect the payment of state, local,
      or foreign tax obligations arising from participation in the Plan that
      apply to an amount deferred under the Plan before the amount is paid or
      made available to a Participant (the “State, Local, or Foreign Tax
      Amount”).  Such payment may not exceed the amount of such taxes
      due as a result of participation in the Plan.  Such payment may
      be made by distributions to the Participant in the form of withholding
      pursuant to provisions of applicable state, local, or foreign law or by
      distribution directly to the Participant.  Additionally, a
      payment may be made from the Plan to pay the income tax at source on wages
      imposed under Code Section 3401 as a result of the payment of the State,
      Local, or Foreign Tax Amount and to pay the additional income tax at
      source on wages attributable to such additional Code Section 3401 wages
      and taxes.  However, the total payment under this Section 6.2(a)
      shall not exceed the aggregate of the State, Local, or Foreign Tax Amount
      and the income tax withholding related to such State, Local, or Foreign
      Tax Amount.

                A
      payment may be made from the Plan to pay the Federal Insurance
      Contributions Act tax imposed by Code Sections 3101, 3121(a), and
      3121(v)(2) on compensation deferred under the Plan (the “FICA
      Amount”).  Additionally, a payment may be made from the Plan to
      pay the income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 or
      the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local or
      foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA Amount and to pay
      the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the
      pyramiding section 3401 wages and taxes.  However, the total
      payment under this Section 6.2(b) shall not exceed the aggregate of the
      FICA Amount and the income tax withholding related to such FICA
      Amount.

in their discretion, administer, interpret, construe and apply the Plan in

      Neither a
Participant nor any other person shall acquire by reason of the Plan any right
in or title to any assets, funds or property of any AT&T company whatsoever
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any specific funds
or assets which AT&T, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation
of a liability hereunder, nor in or to any policy or policies of insurance on
the life of a Participant owned by AT&T.  No trust shall be
created in connection with or by the execution or adoption of this Plan or any

      AT&T
shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits provided under the
Plan.  At its discretion, AT&T may establish one or more trusts,
for the purpose of providing for the payment of such benefits.  Such
trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to
the claims of AT&T's creditors.  To the extent any benefits
provided under the Plan are actually paid from any such trust, AT&T shall
have no further obligation with respect thereto, but to the extent not so paid,
such benefits shall remain the obligation of, and shall be paid by
AT&T.

      This Plan
may be modified or terminated at any time in accordance with the provisions of
AT&T's Schedule of Authorizations.  A modification may affect
present and future Participants.   AT&T also reserves the
sole right to terminate at any time any or all Agreements.  In the
event of termination of the Plan or of a Participant's Agreement, a Participant
shall be entitled to benefits hereunder, if prior to the date of termination of
the Plan or of his or her Agreement, such Participant has attained 5 Years of
Service and, if applicable, 4 Years of Participation, in which case, regardless
of the termination of the Plan/Participant's Agreement, such Participant shall
be entitled to benefits at such time as provided in and as otherwise in
accordance with the Plan and his or her Agreement, provided, however, a
Participant's benefit shall be computed as if the Participant had realized a
Termination of Employment as of the date of termination of the Plan or of his or
her Agreement; provided further, however, a Participant's service subsequent to
Plan/Agreement termination shall be recognized for purposes of reducing or
eliminating the Age discount provided for by Section 3.1(d).  No
amendment, including an amendment to this Section 7.5, shall be effective,
without the written consent of a Participant, to alter, to the detriment of such
Participant, the benefits described in this Plan as applicable to such
Participant as of the effective date of such amendment.  For purposes
of this Section 7.5, an alteration to the detriment of a Participant shall mean
a reduction in the amount payable hereunder to a Participant to which such
Participant would be entitled if such Participant realized a Termination of
Employment at such time, or any change in the form of benefit payable hereunder
to a Participant to which such Participant would be entitled if such Participant
realized a Termination of Employment at such time.  Any amendment
which reduces a Participant's benefit hereunder to adjust for a change in his or
her pension benefit resulting from an amendment to any company-sponsored defined
benefit pension plan which changes the pension benefits payable to all
employees, shall not require the Participant's consent.  Written
notice of any amendment shall be given to each Participant.

      If at the
time payments or installments of payments are to be made hereunder, a
Participant or his or her Beneficiary or both are indebted to AT&T or any
AT&T affiliate as a result of debt incurred in the ordinary course of the
employment relationship between the Participant and the AT&T company, then,
annually, up to $5,000 of the payments remaining to be made to the Participant
or his or her Beneficiary or both, may, at the discretion of the SEVP-HR, be
reduced by the amount of such indebtedness; provided, however, that the
reduction must be made at the same time and in the same amount as the debt
otherwise would have been due and collected from the Participant or his or her
Beneficiary; provided, further, however, that an election by the Board of
Directors not to reduce any such payment or payments shall not constitute a
waiver of such AT&T company's claim for such indebtedness.

      In the
event of a change in the employment status of a Participant to a status in which
he is no longer an Participant, the Participant shall immediately cease to be
eligible for any benefits under this Plan except such benefits as had previously
vested.  Only Participant's Years of Service and Earnings history
prior to the change in his employment status shall be taken into account for
purposes of determining Participant's vested benefits hereunder.

      Neither a
Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign,

hypothecate or convey in advance of actual receipt of the amounts, if any,
payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are,
expressly declared to be unassignable and non-transferable.  No part
of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure or
sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate
maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor be transferable by
operation of law in the event of a Participant's or any other person's
bankruptcy or insolvency.

      Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan, all benefits provided under the Plan with
respect to a Participant shall be forfeited and canceled in their entirety if
the Participant, without the consent of AT&T and while employed by AT&T
or any subsidiary thereof or within three (3) years after termination of such
employment, engages in competition with AT&T or any subsidiary thereof or
with any business with which AT&T or a subsidiary or affiliated company has
a substantial interest (collectively referred to herein as "Employer business")
and fails to cease and desist from engaging in said competitive activity within
120 days following receipt of written notice from AT&T to Participant
demanding that Participant cease and desist from engaging in said competitive
activity.  For purposes of this Plan, engaging in competition with any
Employer business shall mean engaging by the Participant in any business or
activity in the same geographical market where the same or substantially similar
business or activity is being carried on as an Employer
business.  Such term shall not include owning a nonsubstantial
publicly traded interest as a shareholder in a business that competes with an
Employer business. However, engaging in competition with an Employer business
shall include representing or providing consulting services to, or being an
employee of, any person or entity that is engaged in competition with any
Employer business or that takes a position adverse to any Employer
business.  Accordingly, benefits shall not be provided under this Plan
if, within the time period and without the written consent specified,
Participant either engages directly in competitive activity or in any capacity
in any location becomes employed by, associated with, or renders service to any
company, or parent or affiliate thereof, or any subsidiary of any of them, if
any of them is engaged in competition with an Employer business, regardless of
the position or duties the Participant takes and regardless of whether or not
the employing company, or the company that Participant becomes associated with
or renders service to, is itself engaged in direct competition with an Employer
business.

address as reflected on the records of his or her employing company or the
company from which the Participant incurred a Termination of Employment, as
applicable.  Notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery

    LUMP SUM DISTRIBUTION
AGREEMENT

    


    This Lump
Sum Distribution Agreement is made as of the ____ day of ______________, ____ by
and between AT&T Inc.
(“AT&T” or the
“Company”) and _______________(“Participant”).  Unless otherwise
indicated herein, capitalized words used herein shall have the same meaning
ascribed to such words in the 2005 Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (the
“Plan” or “SERP”).

    


    WHEREAS,
Participant is a Participant in the Plan, which is sponsored by the
Company;

     

    WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Plan, Participant executed an Agreement, governing Participant’s
benefits in the Plan;

     

    WHEREAS,
Participant’s Agreement provides for the distribution of his benefits in the
form of a lump sum, payable one hundred percent (100%) upon the six (6) month
anniversary of his Termination of Employment provided that Participant is age
sixty (60) or older as of the date of his Termination of Employment and
Participant agrees not to compete with an Employer Business;

     

    NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereto, for good and valuable consideration, the
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, hereby agree as
follows:

     

    
      	
              1.  

            	
              If
      Participant is age sixty (60) or over as of the date of his Termination of
      Employment, Company shall pay to

            


    

    Participant his benefits under the Plan
in the form of a lump sum distribution, one hundred percent (100%) of which
shall be paid upon the six (6) month anniversary of Participant’s Termination of
Employment.

     

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              In
      exchange for the right to receive the payment described in Paragraph 1,
      above, Participant acknowledges and agrees that he shall not, without the
      written consent of Company, within three (3) years after Termination of
      Employment, engage in competition with AT&T or with any business with
      which AT&T or a subsidiary of AT&T or an affiliated company has a
      substantial interest (collectively referred to herein as "Employer
      business").  For purposes of this Lump Sum Distribution
      Agreement, engaging in competition with any Employer business shall mean
      Participant’s engaging in any business or activity in the same
      geographical market where the same or substantially similar business or
      activity is being carried on as an Employer business. Such term shall not
      include owning a nonsubstantial publicly traded interest as a shareholder
      in a business that competes with an Employer business.  However,
      it is hereby specifically agreed that engaging in competition with an
      Employer business shall include representing or providing consulting
      services to, or being an employee of, any person or entity that is engaged
      in competition with any Employer business or that takes a position adverse
      to any Employer business.  Participant hereby specifically
      agrees not to engage in any such conduct.  Participant also
      specifically agrees that a breach of this provision would result if,
      within the time period and without the written consent specified,
      Participant either engages directly in competitive activity or in any
      capacity in any location becomes employed by, associated with, or renders
      service to any company, or parent or affiliate thereof, or any subsidiary
      of any of them, if any of them is engaged in competition with an Employer
      business, regardless of the position or duties Participant takes and
      regardless of whether or not the employing company, or the company
      that

            


    

    Participant
becomes associated with or renders service to, is itself engaged in direct
competition with an Employer business.

     

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              Participant
      acknowledges and agrees that he shall promptly return to the Company and
      forfeit all consideration previously received pursuant to this Lump Sum
      Distribution Agreement, specifically the payment referred to in Paragraph
      1, if he engages in competition with an Employer business in
      violation of the provisions of Paragraph
2.

            


    

     

    
      	
              4.  

            	
              Participant
      may submit a description of any proposed activity in writing to AT&T and AT&T shall
      advise

            


    

    Participant in writing within
fifteen (15) business days whether such proposed activity would constitute
engaging in competition with an Employer business, within the meaning of this
Lump Sum Distribution Agreement.

     

    
      	
              5.  

            	
              It
      is hereby specifically agreed that the terms of this Lump Sum Distribution
      Agreement shall be kept strictly confidential and that neither party
      shall, except as necessary for performance of the terms hereof or as
      specifically required by law, disclose the existence of this Lump Sum

    B.           Benefit
Amount.  An Attachment E Participant’s benefit under this
Attachment E shall be determined as follows:

    


    The
aggregate annualized benefit of each Attachment E Participant shall be
determined by adding the sum of two percent (2%) of Included Earnings for each
year of the Attachment E Participant's Vesting Service Credit for the first
twenty years, plus one and one-half percent (1.5%) of Included Earnings for each
year of the Attachment E Participant's Vesting Service Credit for the next ten
years, plus one percent (1%) of Included Earnings for each year of the
Attachment E Participant's Vesting Service Credit for each additional year up to
the month in which the Attachment E Participant retires less (1) 100% of the
Primary Social Security benefit payable at age 65, (2) 100% of the retirement
benefit (unreduced for survivor annuity) payable from the Pension Plan (as
defined below), and (3) 100% of the benefit payable from the BellSouth
Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (as defined
below).

    


    a.           The
benefit reduction to be applied for the benefit payable from the Pension Plan
shall be the amount of such benefit that would be payable on the date that
benefits are eligible to be paid (or become payable) under the Plan, or, if
earlier, March 1, 2011 (regardless of the Attachment E Participant’s actual
pension commencement date under the Pension Plan) and determined assuming that
the Attachment E Participant elected a single life annuity (regardless of the
actual form of benefit elected under the Pension Plan).

    


    The
benefit reduction to be applied for the benefit payable from the BellSouth
Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan shall be an objectively
determined amount as of December 31, 2008 equal to the annual amount of a level
payment, single life annuity benefit that would be paid to the Attachment E
Participant pursuant to the BellSouth Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan as
it exists on December 31, 2008 assuming the Attachment E Participant became
eligible to receive a distribution of benefit payments under the BellSouth
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan on December 31, 2008, but applying the
Attachment E Participant’s age and years of service as of March 1, 2011 and the
Attachment E Participant’s Included Earnings as of December 31, 2008,
notwithstanding the form of payment of the BellSouth Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan’s benefit that would actually be made to the Attachment E
Participant (i.e., joint and survivor annuity, lump sum, etc.) and
notwithstanding the actual commencement date of the payment of such BellSouth
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan benefit.

    


    


    b.           The
benefit amount determined in accordance with this Attachment E (expressed as an
annuity) at the time of the Attachment E Participant’s Termination of Employment
shall not be less than the benefit that would have been payable to the
Attachment E Participant if the Attachment E Participant had a Termination of
Employment on any prior December 31 (using pay, service, offsets and all factors
applicable on the previous dates and assuming an immediate benefit
commencement).

    


    c.           The
benefit amount determined in accordance with this Attachment E shall be reduced
(before the offset for benefits under the Pension Plan) by one-quarter percent
(0.25%) for each calendar month or part thereof by which the Attachment E
Participant’s Termination of Employment precedes his or her 62nd
birthday.
