      another so long as both directors are nominated by the same Person, shall
      constitute a Change in Control of the Company for purposes of this
      paragraph (d).

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, no "Change of Control of the Company"
shall occur merely by reason of any creditor of the Company foreclosing on or

termination of the Optionee's membership on the Board of Directors of the

Cause, all of Optionee's unvested Options shall vest immediately.

            6. Transferability. The Option granted hereunder may not be

descendant (whether natural or adopted), sibling, parent, heir, executor,
administrator, testamentary trustee, legatee or beneficiary of the Optionee, (y)

                                                                               1

            (b) The Purchaser has delivered to the Company herewith a check
      payable to the Company in the amount of the aggregate purchase price of

            (c) This Agreement shall not confer upon the Purchaser any right

      agreement with the Purchaser in accordance with the terms thereof.

      3. Vesting.

            The parties agree that from and after the date hereof all of the
Shares subject to this Agreement shall be deemed vested in full and therefore
constitute vested shares for purposes of this Agreement.

      4. Legends; Transfer Restrictions.

            (a) The certificates evidencing the Shares shall be endorsed with
      the following legend (and any other legend required to be placed thereon
      by applicable state securities laws):

      THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
      INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR
      DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT
      AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF
      COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
      UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

      5. Adjustments for Splits, Etc. All references to the number of Shares and
the purchase price of the Shares in this Agreement shall be automatically
adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or like change in the shares
of Class A Common Stock which may be made by the Company after the date of the
purchase of the Shares.

      6. Investment Representations; Restriction on Transfer. In connection with
the purchase of the Shares, the Purchaser represents to the Company the
following:

            (a) He is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
      condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to
      reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. He is
      purchasing these securities for investment for his own account only and
      not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution"
      thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

                                                                               2
<PAGE>

            (b) He understands that the Shares have not been registered under
      the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which
      exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of his
      investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, he understands
      that, in the view of the SEC, the statutory basis for such exemption may
      not be present if his representations meant that his present intention was
      to hold these securities for a minimum capital gains period under the tax
      statutes, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, for a sale if the market
      does not rise, or for a year or any other fixed period in the future.

            (c) He further acknowledges and understands that the Shares must be
      held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the
      Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. He
      understands that the certificate evidencing the Shares will be imprinted
      with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Shares unless they are
      registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel
      for the Company.

            (d) The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
      Regulation 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in that he is
      an "executive officer" as defined in Regulation 501 or otherwise is an
      "accredited investor", the Purchaser is aware that the Company is a
      "development stage" company with no significant business operations or
      history and may be dependent for its future success on matters that cannot
      now be foreseen or predicted, and the Purchaser is not making this
      investment in the Company based on any representation or warranty made to
      him by the Company.

            (e) The Purchaser's financial situation is such that the Purchaser
      can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Shares acquired
      hereunder for an indefinite period of time, the Purchaser has adequate
      means for providing for his needs and contingencies and can afford to
      suffer the complete loss of the investment in the Shares.

            (f) The Purchaser's knowledge and experience in financial and
      business matters are such that he is capable of evaluating the merits and
      risks of the investment in the Shares, or the Purchaser has been advised
      by a representative possessing such knowledge and experience.

            (g) The Purchaser understands that the Shares acquired hereunder are
      a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk of loss of
      the entire investment therein, that there are substantial restrictions on
      the transferability of the Shares, and that for an indefinite period
      following the date hereof there will be no (or only a limited) public
      market for the Shares and that, accordingly, it may not be possible for
      Purchaser to sell the Shares in case of emergency or otherwise.

            (h) The Purchaser and his representatives, including his
      professional,

                                                                               3
<PAGE>

      financial, tax and other advisors, have carefully reviewed all documents
      available to them in connection with the investment in the Shares, and the
      Purchaser understands and has taken cognizance of all the risks related to
      such investment.

            (i) The Purchaser and his representatives have been given the
      opportunity to examine all documents and to ask questions of, and to
      receive answers from, the Company and its representatives concerning the
      terms and conditions of the acquisition of the Shares and related matters
      and to obtain all additional information which the Purchaser or his
      representatives deem necessary.

            (j) All information that the Purchaser has provided to the Company
      and its representatives concerning the Purchaser and his financial
      position is true, complete and correct.

      7. General Provisions.

            (a) This Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the
      State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of law principles.

            (b) This Agreement as amended and restated represents the entire
      agreement between the parties with respect to the purchase of the Shares
      by the Purchaser and may be modified or amended only by a writing signed
      by both parties.

      by a reputable overnight delivery service, postage or delivery charges
      prepaid, or (iv) on the date on which a facsimile is transmitted, in each
      case to the parties at their respective addresses stated below; provided,
      that if the intended recipient of any notice hereunder refuses to

      address for notice by giving notice of the new address to the other party
      in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.

                     If to Executive:

                        ______________
                        ______________
                        ______________

                        Facsimile: _________

            (d) The rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement
      may be assigned only with the prior written consent of the Company.

            (e) Either party's failure to enforce any provision of this
      Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such
      provision, nor prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every
      other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted both parties herein
      are cumulative and shall not constitute a waiver of either party's right
      to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the
      circumstances.

            (f) Each party agrees, upon the reasonable request of the other
      party, to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or
      desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement.

            (g) Except as otherwise provided herein, any controversies or claims
      arising out of, or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, shall
      be settled by arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of the
      American Arbitration Association, which decision shall be final and
      binding on the parties, and judgment upon the award rendered shall be
      entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any party may demand
      such arbitration in accordance with the procedures set out in those rules.
      The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, or such other
      location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Special,
      consequential, or punitive damages shall not be awarded by the arbitrator.
      In the event of any arbitration proceeding hereunder, the Company will (x)
      pay the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and (y) advance the
      Purchaser's documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable counsel
      fees and expenses) on a current basis, provided, that if the Purchaser is
      determined not to be the substantially prevailing party on the matters
      submitted for arbitration (which determination shall be made by the
      arbitrator and included in his or her decision), the Purchaser will
      promptly reimburse the Company for any expenses so advanced. The Purchaser
      acknowledges that the Company is agreeing to make advances to him pursuant
      to the preceding sentence in consideration of his agreement to reimburse
      the Company for any such advances to the extent required by the preceding
      sentence. The Company will in all events pay its own costs (including
      counsel fees and expenses) in connection with any arbitration proceeding
      hereunder.

                                                                               5

            (h) The Purchaser understands that he (and not the Company) shall be
      responsible for his own federal, state, local or foreign tax liability and
      any of his other tax consequences that may arise as a result of the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser shall rely
      solely on the determinations of his tax advisors or his own
      determinations, and not on any statements or representations by the
      Company or any of its agents, with regard to all such tax matters. The
      Purchaser shall notify the Company and Nextel Partners Operating Corp. in
      writing if the Purchaser files an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of
      the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with the Internal Revenue
      Service within 30 days from the date of the sale of the Shares hereunder;
      and the Company shall file its tax returns and reports in a manner
      consistent with such election, provided that such election is made on the
      basis disclosed to the Company. The Company intends, in the event it does
      not receive from the Purchaser evidence of a proper filing, to claim a tax
      deduction for and to calculate and withhold taxes on any amount which
      would be taxable to the Purchaser in the absence of such an election.

            (i) To the extent legally required, the Company shall have the right
      and is authorized to withhold from any payments due or transfers in
      connection with the purchase of the Shares hereunder or from any
      compensation or other amount owing to the Purchaser the amount (in cash,
      Shares, other securities or other property) of any applicable withholding
      taxes in respect of the Shares and to take such other action as may be
      necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the
      payment of such taxes, if applicable.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as
of the date first above written.

                                               NEXTEL PARTNERS, INC.
