Registrant's bylaws provide that the Registrant may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding. The
power to indemnify applies only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the Registrant and with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the Registrant as well, but only to the extent of defense and settlement expenses and not to any satisfaction of a
judgment or settlement of the claim itself and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has
been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless the court, in its discretion, believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply. To the extent that any present or former
director of the Registrant has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall
be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance covering its directors and officers in amounts customary for similarly situated companies. </FONT></P>

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule&nbsp;424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20&nbsp;percent change

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid

the description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed June 7, 2000, including any amendment or report

In

purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which is also deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies
or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
The validity of the common stock to be issued after the date hereof pursuant to the UbiquiTel Inc. 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be passed upon by

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that the liability of the Registrant's directors and officers to the
Registrant or any of its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors and officers shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General
Corporation Law of Delaware. This limitation does not apply with respect to any action in which a director or officer would be liable under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware, nor does it apply with respect to any liability in which a director or officer:
•
breached
his duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders;
•
did
not act in good faith or, in failing to act, did not act in good faith;
•
acted
in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or, in failing to act, shall have acted in a manner involving intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or
•
derived
an improper personal benefit.
3
The
Registrant's bylaws provide that the Registrant may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding. The
power to indemnify applies only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the Registrant and with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
The
power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the Registrant as well, but only to the extent of defense and settlement expenses and not to any satisfaction of a
judgment or settlement of the claim itself and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has
been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless the court, in its discretion, believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply. To the extent that any present or former
director of the Registrant has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall
be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
The
Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance covering its directors and officers in amounts customary for similarly situated companies.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in
the registration statement;
PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
