The aggregate principal amount of Pool 3 Notes that are accepted for exchange will be based on the order of acceptance priority for such series as set forth in the below table.

For each $1,000 principal amount of Pool 3 Notes tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 29, 2012 (the "Early Participation Date") and accepted by AT&T, the following table sets forth the Total Consideration, the yield, the principal amount of the applicable series of New Notes, as priced below, and the amount of cash:

Eligible Holders who tender their Pool 3 Notes after the Early Participation Date will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of such Pool 3 Notes tendered, an amount reflecting the applicable Total Consideration less the Early Participation Payment of $50.00 as specified in the Offering Memorandum, dated November 15, 2012 (the "Offering Memorandum") and the related letter of transmittal. Tendered Pool 3 Notes will be subject to the acceptance priority levels set forth in the Offering Memorandum.

Pricing terms, including the Total Consideration, with respect to the Pool 1 Offer and the Pool 2 Offer will be announced after the final expiration date of the offers pursuant to the terms set forth in the Offering Memorandum and the related letter of transmittal. For each $1,000 principal amount of Pool 1 Notes or Pool 2 Notes tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the Early Participation Date and accepted by AT&T, holders will receive the Total Consideration as calculated pursuant to the terms set forth in the Offering Memorandum.
