Engineering Application. Failure of Licensor to notify Licensee within such
thirty (30) day period shall be deemed a denial of the application. Licensor
shall not be obligated to approve a Site Engineering Application for a Site if
the approval thereto shall result, in Licensor's sole discretion, in any capital
or improvement cost to Licensor which is not reimbursed by Licensee pursuant to
this Agreement or, if the execution of a SLA by Licensor shall result in any
adverse impact to the business of Licensor or existing users at a Site.
2.3 [NOT APPLICABLE]
2.4 LICENSOR'S RESERVED RIGHTS. Licensor reserves the right, from time to
time, at Licensor's sole cost and expense, to change a Site in any way Licensor
may desire, including, but not by way of limitation, addition or removal of
land, construction, modification or addition to the tower or any other
structure, or the reconstruction, replacement or alteration thereof, provided
that such change does not (except for reasonable minimal periods of disruption
during non-peak operating times) materially alter the signal pattern of the
Equipment existing at the Site prior to the change or otherwise prevent Licensee
from the operation of the Equipment on the Facilities in a commercially
reasonable manner. Licensor shall provide Licensee with notice in writing thirty
(30) days in advance of any such change.
3. SITE USE
Licensor hereby grants Licensee the right, license and privilege to use the
Facilities at each Site. Licensee shall use the Facilities at each Site to
install, operate and maintain only the Equipment specified in each SLA,
including only the frequencies and power levels authorized in the Site
Engineering Application approved by Licensor. Licensee shall not occupy any
additional space on the tower, additional ground space or equipment shelter
space, except as specified in the applicable SLA and upon approval of a Site
Engineering Application. These limitations are in addition to the restrictions
on subletting, sublicensing or partial assignment described in Section 20.
Licensee agrees that the limitations on use of the Facilities, combined with the
restrictions on transferring, in whole or in part, its rights hereunder (except
as otherwise expressly set forth herein) shall prohibit and restrict Licensee
from sharing, splitting, offering, exchanging or selling its rights under this
Agreement or any SLA with or to another spectrum licensee of the FCC. Licensee
shall comply with all permits, directives, laws, rules, regulations and
ordinances of all applicable Government Entities and with the Special
Conditions, Site Rules and Regulations, and Access and Security Procedures for
Users as set forth in Exhibit "F" hereto. Subject to the conditions of Section
36, Licensee shall be solely responsible for obtaining, at its own expense, all
permits, authorizations and licenses associated with its occupancy of Facilities
at each Site and utilization of Equipment thereon; provided, however, Licensor
hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate with Licensee, at no cost to Licensor, in
the execution of any documents, applications or the provision of materials which
may be required in connection with Licensee's efforts to obtain the permits,
authorizations and licenses which may be required in connection with Licensee's
use of the Sites. Licensee agrees that any
6
expansion in Licensee's use of the Facilities as approved in the SLA as
executed for any Site requires an amendment to the SLA for which expansion
Licensor may be entitled to additional compensation.
4. TERM
4.1 TERM OF AGREEMENT. Licensor and Licensee agree that no additional Sites
shall be licensed to Licensee under Article 2 of this Agreement two (2) years
from the date first written above All other terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall survive for so long as any SLA remains in effect.
4.2 SLA TERM. Each Site licensed by Licensor to Licensee pursuant to a SLA
shall be licensed for five (5) years, beginning on the SLA Commencement Date.
The term of each SLA may be extended for up to three (3) additional five (5)
year terms at Licensee's option. In the event that Licensee desires to renew a
SLA, Licensee shall submit its request to Licensor, in writing, at least six (6)
months prior to the end of the SLA Term.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Licensor's rights in the Site are derived
from a Prime Lease or other agreement with a third party and such Prime Lease
has a shorter term than those provided for under this Section 4.2, then the SLA
Term and Licensee's right to extend any particular SLA shall only be for as long
as Licensor retains its interest in said Prime Lease. Licensor, at its sole
discretion, shall use reasonable commercial efforts to renew or extend any Prime
Lease for which Licensee's SLA is in effect and has a remaining term of twelve
(12) months or more. In no event, however, is Licensor obligated to Licensee for
any inconvenience, damage, claim or loss arising out of Licensor's failure to
extend or renew said Prime Lease.
5. CONSIDERATION
5.1 BASIC MONTHLY PAYMENT. Licensee shall pay to Licensor the Basic Monthly
Payment for the licensing of each Site, as designated on the applicable SLA and
calculated in accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit "C". The Basic
Monthly Payment for each SLA shall be paid in advance and without demand, in
equal monthly installments beginning on the SLA Commencement Date and continuing
each month thereafter for the remainder of the SLA Term, including any
extensions thereof, and including all adjustments as provided for hereafter.
5.2. FEE ADJUSTMENT. The Basic Annual Payment, Site Application Fee and
Site Installation Fee due pursuant to this Agreement, shall be increased on the
first anniversary of the date first written above and every anniversary
thereafter by an amount equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index for
the applicable period. Licensor's failure to timely demand any such increase
shall not be construed as a waiver of any right thereto and Licensee shall be
obligated to remit all increases notwithstanding any lack of notice or demand
thereof.
7
5.3 LICENSEE'S PAYMENT OF TAXES, FEES AND ASSESSMENTS. Licensee shall pay
directly to the applicable Government Entity or to Licensor if Licensor is
invoiced by such Government Entity, all taxes, fees, assessments or other
charges assessed by any Government Entity against the Equipment and/or
Licensee's use of any Site. Licensee shall also pay to Licensor the applicable
Pro Rata Share of all taxes, fees, assessments or charges assessed by any
Government Entity against any Site. Licensor shall provide notice of any
assessments to be paid by Licensee and received by Licensor promptly upon
receipt. Licensee shall make said payments directly to the Government Entity.
For all other assessments against the Site, Licensor shall invoice Licensee

Licensee with a statement of the Site Maintenance Expense for the preceding year
or applicable portion thereof, together with the Pro Rata Share of the Site
Maintenance Expense, which amount shall be paid to Licensor within thirty (30)
days of Licensor's demand therefor. Licensor's failure to provide Licensee with
a statement of Licensor's Site Maintenance Expense within the prescribed time
period shall not relieve Licensee of its obligations hereunder.
5.5 EXTRAORDINARY SITE DEVELOPMENT COSTS. In the event that Licensee elects
to execute a SLA for any Site where Licensor has previously incurred any
Extraordinary Site Development Costs, Licensor shall identify such costs to
Licensee in advance of execution of the SLA. Licensee shall pay to Licensor on
the SLA Commencement Date, the Pro Rata Share of the Extraordinary Site
Development Costs related to the development and operation of the applicable
Site. Licensee shall not be responsible for the payment of a Pro Rata Share of
Extraordinary Site Development Costs prior to execution of a SLA unless agreed
to in writing in the SLA by Licensee.
5.6 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE COSTS. In the event that Licensor, at any Site
where Licensee has executed an SLA, thereafter incurs Regulatory Compliance
Costs, Licensee shall be responsible to pay to Licensor, its Pro Rata Share of

invoice.
5.7 [NOT APPLICABLE]
5.8 LATE PAYMENTS. Any payment not paid within ten (10) business days of
written notice of non-payment from Licensor shall, at Licensor's option, bear
interest until paid at the greater of (i) the rate of twelve percent (12%) per
annum; or (ii) the maximum rate allowed under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which the Site is located. This late charge is not a waiver of Licensor's right
to declare this Agreement in default if the Basic Annual Payment or any other
payment is not made when due.

the address
8
indicated in the applicable SLA. Licensor may change this payment method,

6.2.1 INITIAL INSTALLATION SERVICES. Licensee may engage Licensor to
provide installation services pursuant to a mutually agreed upon price, scope of
work and terms. In the event Licensee elects to use a third-party contractor to
provide initial installation services, such services must be performed by a
Licensor-approved third-party contractor. Prior to the commencement of such
services, Licensee shall submit detailed plans and engineering drawings to
Licensor for Licensor's approval. Licensee shall pay a Site Audit Fee to
Licensor in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00) in the
event Licensee uses an approved third-party contractor.
6.2.2 SUBSEQUENT INSTALLATION OR MODIFICATION. Following Licensee's
initial installation of Equipment at any Site, Licensee shall not subsequently
install or modify any Equipment at the Site until: (i) Licensee has executed and
delivered to Licensor a completed Site Engineering Application pursuant to
Section 2.1 describing the particulars of such proposed subsequent installation
or modification; and (ii) Licensor has approved in writing such subsequent
installation or modification, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to prevent Licensee's
performance of routine maintenance and replacement and repair of defective
equipment not located on the tower structure. Any subsequent installation or
modification which changes Licensee's power levels, frequency or antenna loading
requirements is subject to the foregoing conditions as well as increases in the
Basic Annual Payment stated in the applicable SLA. Licensor's failure to respond
to the Site Engineering Application within thirty (30) days of Licensee's
request shall be deemed a denial of that proposal by Licensor. As part of the
review process, Licensor may consider, among other things, the potential effect
on structural integrity, interference, health, safety and environmental
concerns. The structural, engineering, environmental or other studies that
Licensor deems necessary in its sole discretion to determine compliance with
structural, environmental, engineering or legal requirements shall be performed
by Licensor at Licensee's cost. Subsequent installation and modification
services shall be performed by Licensor at the cost of such services to
Licensor, plus fifteen percent (15%) for Licensor's administration, coordination
and documentation. In the event that Licensee fails to submit a Site Engineering
Application to Licensor to obtain Licensor's prior approval of any subsequent
installation or modification, Licensor may, at Licensor's sole discretion, in
addition to any other remedies of Licensor set forth in this Agreement: (i)
charge Licensee additional rent for the unauthorized equipment retroactive to
the date of unauthorized installation or modification; (ii) impose a liquidated
damage penalty upon Licensee in an amount equal to ten (10) times Licensor's
then current Site Application Fee; or (iii) terminate Licensee's SLA for that
Site.
6.2.3 LICENSOR'S COSTS. The reasonable cost of any improvements,
upgrades or modifications required to be made by Licensor at any Site in order
to install or subsequently modify Licensee's Equipment shall be borne by
Licensee. These costs shall include, but not by way of limitation, costs related
to: (i) structural improvement or extension of the tower structure; (ii) costs
10
related to the consolidation or expansion of equipment shelters or other
structures; (iii) the relocation of existing users; (iv) the acquisition of
additional ground space or extensions of the Prime Lease Term; and (v)
additional regulatory compliance. All such costs shall be disclosed to Licensee
prior to execution of a SLA.
6.2.4 RELOCATION. With respect to any Site, Licensor shall have the
right to change the location of the Equipment upon sixty (60) days prior written
notice to Licensee, provided that said change does not, when completed,
materially alter the signal pattern of the Equipment existing prior to the
change or prevent Licensee from conducting its use of the Facilities in a
commercially reasonable manner. Such relocation shall include, but not by way of
limitation, Licensor's right to: (i) relocate the position and height of
Licensee's antennas on the tower structure; (ii) relocate Licensee's
ground-based equipment into a multi-user shelter or other consolidated
structure; (iii) relocate Licensee's antennas into a combiner; (iv) relocate
Licensee's Equipment to an alternate or temporary structure in order to
facilitate tower replacement or Site reconstruction or alteration. All
relocation shall be performed at Licensor's expense and with reasonably minimal
disruption to Licensee. In no event, however, shall Licensor be liable to
Licensee for any consequential damages or indirect costs including lost profits
for the effect of such relocation on the performance of the Equipment or
Licensee's system.
6.2.5 NO INTERFERENCE REPAIR/RENEWAL. The operation and maintenance of
the Equipment at the Site by Licensee shall be performed without any damage,
harm, or interruption to the service of Licensor or other users of the Site and
consistent with the standards set forth in Exhibit "F".
6.2.6 REMOVAL OF EQUIPMENT. The Equipment and any Licensee owned
equipment shelters installed at the Site and owned by Licensee shall remain the
personal property of Licensee. Upon sixty (60) days written notice of
termination of this Agreement or any SLA to Licensor or upon expiration or
earlier termination of the SLA Term, Licensee's personal property shall be
removed by Licensee provided that Licensee shall have fully performed all of its
obligations, covenants and agreements and no payments are due (or will become
due) from Licensee to Licensor under the provisions of this Agreement. In the
event Licensee shall fail to remove the Equipment in accordance with this
Section 6.2.6, Licensor shall have the right to perform all services related to
removal of the Equipment at the cost of such removal to Licensor, plus fifteen
percent (15%) for Licensor's administration, coordination and documentation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Licensor hereby
waives any and all lien rights it may have, statutory or otherwise, concerning
the Equipment or any portion thereof.
6.2.7 SITE ACCESS. In the event that Licensee requires emergency access
to any tower structure at any Site to correct any condition causing or
threatening to cause immediate harm to the Equipment or Licensee's network,
Licensee may access the tower structure, provided that Licensee notifies
Licensor's network operations center as soon as is practical but in any event
not more than twenty-four (24) hours after such access and provides a reasonably
detailed written description to Licensor of the action taken by Licensee.
Licensee's access to the tower structure on an emergency basis shall not relieve
Licensee of any obligation or liability hereunder. Licensee acknowledges that
the foregoing access rights are subject to any restrictions identified in the
underlying real estate
11
interests related to the Site, including, but not limited to, any
restrictions identified in the Prime Lease. Licensor shall furnish Licensee with
necessary codes or devices such as keys or combinations for the purpose of
ingress and egress to the Site. The foregoing rights of access are limited to
employees or contractors of Licensee which have been previously approved by
Licensor in writing or persons under their direct supervision. No other persons
without Licensor's prior approval shall be permitted by Licensee on any Site.
6.3 ACCEPTANCE OF SITE. Taking possession of the Facilities at a Site by
Licensee is conclusive evidence that Licensee:
6.3.1 Accepts the Facilities at a Site as suitable for the purposes
for which the Facilities at a Site are licensed;
6.3.2 Accepts the Facilities and any structure on the Site and
every part and appurtenance thereof AS IS; and
6.3.3 Waives any claims against Licensor in respect of
defects in the Facilities or Site and its
appurtenances, their habitability or suitability for
any permitted purposes, except:
(i) If otherwise expressly provided hereunder;
(ii) If a defect is latent in nature;
(iii) If a defect in the Facilities results from
the sole gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Licensor, Licensor's
employees, agents or contractors;
(iv) If a defect in the Facilities or the Site
results from any known claim by a third
party not identified by Licensor in
Licensor's representations under this
Agreement; or
(v) If Licensor had actual knowledge of defects in the
Facilities and did not disclose those defects to
Licensee.
For the purposes of this provision, Licensee is deemed to take
possession upon the SLA Commencement Date.
7. LIENS
Licensee shall keep the Facilities and the Site and any interest it has
therein (including any leasehold or other tenancy) free from any liens arising
from any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or at
the request of Licensee, including any mortgages or other financing
12
obligations. If any lien is filed against the Facilities or the Site as
a result of the acts or omissions of Licensee, its employees, agents or
contractors, Licensee must discharge the lien or bond the lien off in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to Licensor within thirty (30) days after Licensee
receives written notice from any party that the lien has been filed. If Licensee
fails to discharge or bond any lien within such period, then, in addition to any
other right or remedy of Licensor, Licensor may, at Licensor's election,
discharge the lien by either paying the amount claimed to be due or obtaining
the discharge by deposit with a court or a title company or by bonding. Licensee
must pay on demand any amount paid by Licensor for the discharge or satisfaction
of any lien, and all reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses of
Licensor incurred in defending any such action or in obtaining the discharge of
such lien, together with all necessary disbursements in connection therewith.
8. INTERFERENCE
8.1 In the event that Licensor determines pursuant to reasonably
accepted engineering practices that Licensee's operations from any Site
interfere with a Prior User's authorized use of the Site, Licensor shall notify
the Licensee in writing of the interference. Licensor, Licensee and the Prior
User experiencing interference shall cooperate with each other in the attempt to
resolve the problem. In the event that the interference cannot be resolved
within thirty (30) days from the initial notification to Licensee, the matter
shall be resolved pursuant to the FCC dispute resolution process.
8.2 In the event that Licensee determines, pursuant to reasonably
accepted engineering practices, that a Subsequent User is interfering with the
operation of Licensee's Equipment, Licensee shall notify the Subsequent User and
Licensor in writing of such interference. Licensor, Licensee and the Subsequent
User shall cooperate with each other in the attempt to resolve the problem. In
the event that such interference cannot be resolved within thirty (30) days from
the initial notification to the Subsequent User, the matter shall be resolved
pursuant to the FCC dispute resolution process.
8.3 In the event that the interference cannot be resolved or eliminated
within forty-five (45) days after the initial notification of such interference,
any Party not causing interference may Licensee terminate the SLA governing the
location or the interfering Equipment, without continuing liability for either
party.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Licensee shall indemnify and hold Licensor, its subsidiaries, directors,
officers, employees and contractors, harmless from and against any claim,
liability, cost or expense, (including reasonable attorney's fees) resulting
from or arising out of Licensee's and/or any of its subcontractors', servants',
agents' or invitees' use or occupancy of a Site, including but not limited to
any claim of liability or loss associated with any Environmental Hazards and
Pollutants, bodily injury or property damage excepting claims or damages as may
be due to or caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Licensor, or its
subcontractors, servants, agents or invitees. If Licensor is made a party to any
litigation commenced by or against Licensee for any of the above reasons, then
Licensee shall protect and hold Licensor harmless and pay all costs, penalties,
charges, damages,
13
expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or paid by Licensor in
connection therewith.
Licensor shall indemnify and hold Licensee, its subsidiaries, directors,
officers, employees and contractors, harmless from and against any claim,

and/or any of its subcontractors', servants', agents' or invitees' use or
occupancy of a Site, including but not limited to any claim of liability or loss
associated with any Environmental Hazards and Pollutants, bodily injury or
property damage excepting claims or damages as may be due to or caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of Licensee, or its subcontractors, servants,
agents or invitees. If Licensee is made a party to any litigation commenced by
or against Licensor for any of the above reasons, then Licensor shall protect
and hold Licensee harmless and pay all costs, penalties, charges, damages,
expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or paid by Licensee in
connection therewith.
10. INSURANCE
10.1 INSURANCE AMOUNTS. Licensee shall carry public liability insurance
covering its use of each Site with companies licensed to do business in the
state of the respective Site(s) and in a form satisfactory to Licensor. The
policy shall name Licensee as insured and shall name Licensor above-referenced
affiliates as an additional insureds. The policy shall bear endorsements to the
effect that the insurer agrees to notify Licensor not less than thirty (30) days
in advance of any modification or cancellation thereof. At a minimum, Licensee
and all parties accessing a Site for or on behalf of Licensee shall obtain the
following insurance coverage: (i) Statutory Workers' Compensation including
$500,000 Employers' Liability; (ii) Comprehensive General Liability including
personal injury, broad form property damage, independent contractor, XCU and
products/completed operations with limits not less than $5,000,000 per
occurrence; (iii) Automobile Liability with limits not less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence; and, (iv) Fire and extended coverage insurance on all of Licensee's
improvements at the Site including all of Licensee's Equipment and other

liability endorsement to cover property damage for which Licensee is
responsible.) The amount of the insurance limits identified above shall be
increased on every fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement by
twenty-five percent (25%) over the amount of the insurance limits for the
immediately preceding five (5) year period. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision, Licensee may satisfy the foregoing insurance requirements by
obtaining appropriate endorsements to any master policy of insurance maintained
by Licensee.
All insurers will be rated A(-) or better and must be licensed to do
business in the jurisdiction where the respective Sites are located. The
provision of insurance required in this Agreement shall not be construed to
limit or otherwise affect the liability of Licensee.
Licensee will not knowingly do or permit to be done in or about a Site
nor bring or keep or permit to be brought to a Site anything that: (i) is
prohibited by any insurance policy carried by Licensor covering the Site or any
improvements thereon; or, (ii) will increase the existing premiums
14
for any such policy beyond that contemplated for the addition of Licensee's
Equipment. Licensee represents and warrants that the installation of
Licensee's Equipment at a Site in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.
The parties hereby waive any and all rights of action for negligence
against the other which may hereafter arise on account of damages to a Site
resulting from any fire, or other casualty of the kind covered by standard fire
insurance policies, regardless of whether or not, or in what amounts, such
insurance is now or hereafter carried by the parties, or either of them.
Licensee and Licensor shall each obtain a waiver of subrogation from their
respective insurance companies in which said insurance companies also waive
their respective rights to recover against the other party to this Agreement.
10.2 SUBORDINATION. Licensee's rights under this Agreement are and shall
remain subject and subordinate to the operation and effect of: (i) the Prime
Lease and any other lease of land or of land and buildings involving a Site;
and, (ii) any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument constituting
a lien upon a Site, whether the same shall be in existence at the date hereof or
created hereafter; any such lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other security
instrument being referred to herein as a "mortgage", and the party or parties
having the benefit of the same, whether as lessor, mortgagee, trustee or
noteholder, being referred to herein as a "mortgagee". Licensee's acknowledgment
and agreement of subordination provided for in this subsection is self-operative
and no further instrument of subordination shall be required; however, Licensee
shall execute such further assurances thereof as shall be required or as may be
requested from time-to-time by Licensor or a mortgagee.
10.3 ATTORNMENT. If any person shall succeed to all or part of Licensor's
interest in a Site, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure, power of sale, termination of lease, or otherwise, and if so
requested or required by such successor in interest, Licensee shall attorn to
such successor in interest and shall execute an agreement in confirmation of the
attornment as the successor in interest shall reasonably request.
11. SURRENDER OF FACILITIES
Licensee shall remove its Equipment from a Site upon the expiration or
termination of the applicable SLA consistent with the provisions set forth in
Section 6.2.6. Should Licensee's Equipment remain at a Site after termination of
the SLA Term, no tenancy or interest in the Site shall result, but this "holding
over" shall be an unlawful detainer and all such Equipment shall be subject to
immediate removal by Licensor in accordance with applicable law. Licensee shall,
upon demand, pay to Licensor, as a liquidated damage, a sum equal to one and
one-fourth (1 1/4) the Basic Monthly Payment for any period during which
Licensee shall "hold over" at a Site after the expiration or termination of the
applicable SLA in addition to any actual and reasonable expenses associated with
the removal and storage of Equipment.

broker or agent claiming through such party in relation to
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
13. UTILITIES.
Electrical power and telecommunications landline service may be
available to Licensee at each Site. All costs associated with the installation
and consumption of utilities by Licensee at a Site shall be the responsibility
of Licensee, including, where not previously available, the cost to submeter the
existing utility services. Licensee agrees, at no additional cost to Licensee,
to cooperate with other users of a Site to provide access to utility services.
Licensor shall incur no liability whatsoever in the event that any utility
becomes unavailable, provided that such unavailability has not resulted from
Licensor's negligence.
14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
While Licensor is authorized to act on behalf of each applicable
affiliate in connection with the execution of this Agreement, it is understood
that only the affiliate executing the applicable SLA shall be liable to Licensee
with respect to that SLA and all matters associated with Licensee's use of that
Site. Licensor assumes no responsibility for the licensing, operation and/or
maintenance of the Equipment. Licensor assumes no responsibility for regulatory
compliance by Licensee, and Licensee holds Licensor harmless from any liability
resulting form such noncompliance.
15. CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION
15.1 CASUALTY. In the event that a Site, or any part thereof, is damaged
by fire or other
17
casualty not caused by Licensee, Licensor shall have ninety (90) days from
the date of damage, if the damage is less than total destruction of the Site, in
which to make repairs, and one hundred and eighty (180) days from date of
destruction, if the Site (including the tower structure) is destroyed, in which
to replace the destroyed portion of the Site. If Licensor fails for any reason
to make such repair or restoration within the stipulated period and the damage
or destruction impairs Licensee's use of the Site as authorized under the
applicable SLA, then either party may, at its option, terminate the applicable
SLA without further liability of the parties, as of the date of partial or
complete destruction. If, for any reason whatsoever, Licensee's use of the Site
is interrupted due to casualty, Licensee's sole remedy shall be abatement of the
Basic Annual Payment for the period during which Licensee's use of the Site is
interrupted. Except with regard to repair of the Site as stated in this
Subsection 15.1, Licensor shall not be responsible for any damage caused by
vandalism or acts of God. In no event shall Licensor be liable to Licensee for
damage to the Equipment or Licensee's operations caused by acts of God or Forces
Majeure.
15.2 CONDEMNATION. If at any time during the term of this Agreement all or
"substantially all" (meaning the remaining portion thereof shall not be of
sufficient size or condition to permit the continuation of Licensee's use of the
Site in a commercially reasonable manner) of a Site or the Licensee's Equipment
located on such Site shall be taken in the exercise of the power of eminent
domain by any governmental or other authority, or by deed in lieu of
condemnation, then Licensee may terminate the applicable SLA by providing
written notice to Licensor, which termination shall be effective as of the date
of the vesting of title in such taking and any prepaid Basic Annual Payment
thereunder shall be apportioned as of said date and reimbursed to Licensee.
Licensee and Licensor shall each be entitled to pursue their own separate awards
with respect to such taking. In the event of any taking of less than all or
substantially all of the Site, such SLA shall continue and each of Licensor and
Licensee shall be entitled to pursue their own separate awards with respect to
such taking.
16. DEFAULT
16.1 LICENSEE'S DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events constitutes an "Event of Default" by Licensee under this Agreement:
16.1.1 If Licensee fails with respect to any Site to pay any fee or
sums payable by Licensee within ten (10) business days of
Licensee's receipt of written notice from Licensor that such
payment is past due;
16.1.2 Breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth
in this Agreement including any SLA, with the exception of
the non-payment of any fee or sums by Licensee, which is not
cured within thirty (30) days of Licensee's receipt of
written notice. Such thirty (30) day cure period will be

dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof),
or Licensee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings
filed under any section or chapter of the present or any
future Bankruptcy Code or under any similar law or statute
of the United States or any state thereof;
16.1.4 If a receiver, custodian or trustee is appointed for
Licensee or for any of the assets of Licensee and such
appointment is not vacated within sixty (60) days of the
date of appointment;
16.1.5 If Licensee is adjudicated by a final order of a court of
law of competent jurisdiction to have made a transfer in
fraud of creditors;
16.1.6 If the Equipment is found to be interfering with the
communications equipment of other users at any Site and said

remainder of the SLA Term, discounted by eleven percent
(11%) per year of acceleration; and
16.2.4. All other sums of money and damages owing by Licensee to
Licensor.
Licensor's termination of the Agreement or any SLA shall not terminate
Licensee's payment obligations hereunder. Licensor may elect any one or more of
the foregoing remedies with respect to this Agreement or to any particular SLA.
Licensor agrees to forego seeking any consequential damages against Licensee.
16.3 LICENSEE'S REMEDIES UPON LICENSOR'S DEFAULT. If Licensor is in breach
of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation or term set forth in
this Agreement then Licensor shall cure such breach within thirty (30) days of
receipt of Licensee's written notice thereof, except such thirty (30) day cure
period will be extended as reasonably necessary to permit Licensor to complete
the cure so long as Licensor commences the cure within such thirty (30) day

20
17. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Licensor represents that with the exception of certain Hazardous Substances
necessary for operation of a Site, to Licensor's knowledge there are no
Environmental Hazards on any Site. Nothing in this Agreement or in any SLA will
be construed or interpreted to require that Licensee remediate any Environmental
Hazards located at any Site unless Licensee or Licensee's officers, employees,
agents or contractors placed the Environmental Hazards on the Site. Licensor
shall indemnify and hold Licensee harmless for the use or existence at any Site
by Licensor of Hazardous Substances.
Licensee covenants and warrants that it will not bring to, transport across
or dispose of any Hazardous Substances on any particular Site without Licensor's
prior written approval. Approval shall not unduly be withheld or delayed where
Licensee demonstrates to Licensor reasonable satisfaction that said Hazardous
Substance is required for Licensee's authorized use of a Site. Licensee's use of
approved Hazardous Substances must comply with all applicable Environmental Laws
governing such use. Licensee shall indemnify and hold Licensor harmless for the
use or existence at any Site by Licensee of Hazardous Substances. Licensee shall
report in writing to Licensor prior to January 1 of each year, the type and
quantity of any Hazardous Substance maintained by Licensee at each Site.
Licensee agrees to provide Licensor, upon request, copies of all Material
Safety Data Sheets for approved Hazardous Substances brought to any Site and
annual inventories of such Hazardous Substances present at any Site. Licensee
shall promptly notify Licensor of any release of any Environmental Hazard at any
Site, immediately upon obtaining actual knowledge of such release. In addition
to any other notification required to Licensor pursuant to this Agreement,
Licensee must provide notice to Licensor of any above ground storage tank
installed by Licensee at any Site and provide copies of registration documents
to Licensor, if registration is required by the governing state agencies.
18. REVIEW OF CHARGES
If Licensee has a question concerning the Basic Monthly Payment or
Licensor's invoice of any taxes, fees, assessments or charges, Site Maintenance

Commitment Surcharge or Licensee's Pro Rata Share thereof or any invoice for
charges imposed by Licensor under the MLA or applicable SLA, or Licensee wishes
to challenge the accuracy or validity of any items involved in such charges,
Licensee shall give Licensor a Notice of Dispute within thirty (30) days after
the date of Licensee's payment for such items. Within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such Notice of Dispute, Licensor shall furnish such information
and/or documentation as it deems necessary to answer questions. If Licensor
fails to satisfy Licensee as to the accuracy and validity of the charges
described in the Notice of Dispute, Licensee may demand arbitration of whether
said payments or charges are Licensee's obligations under this Agreement or the
applicable SLA in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration
Association. Licensee's request for arbitration shall be promptly filed pursuant
to said
21
rules within one (1) year after the date of the due date for payment of the
charges identified in the Notice of Dispute, or Licensee's right to dispute the
payment shall be deemed to have been waived. It is agreed that the procedure
described herein shall be the sole and exclusive procedure for resolving any
dispute concerning charges imposed by Licensee under the MLA. No payment shall
be delayed or abated pending resolution of any question or dispute.
19. GOVERNING LAW
The laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, disregarding conflict of law
principles, shall govern this Agreement. Further, each party submits to the
jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania.
20. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE
This Agreement and any SLA may not be sold, assigned or transferred, in
whole or in part, by Licensee without prior written approval or consent of
Licensor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may, upon sixty (60) days
written notice to Licensor, assign its entire interest in this Agreement to its
parent company, or to any wholly owned subsidiary, or to an affiliate, or to any
successor-in-interest acquiring fifty-one percent (51%) or more of Licensee's
stock or assets. It is understood that any such assignment shall not relieve
Licensee of its obligations for performance of this Agreement. Licensee
represents and warrants that Licensee is authorized to operate its system under
its agreements and FCC rules, regulations and policies applicable to the
Equipment installed at a Facility pursuant to this Agreement. This Agreement,
the SLA, and the use of Facilities under any SLA may not be otherwise sold,
assigned, shared or transferred, in whole or in part, without the written
consent of Licensor, for any purpose, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Licensee shall not sublease or license its interest in this Agreement
or any SLA, either directly or through subsidiaries and affiliated entities.
Licensee specifically covenants to not, at any Facility, install any combiner or
other multiple frequency antenna device or more than one (1) transmission line
to any antenna without Licensor's prior written consent to each and every one.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision, Licensee may, upon written notice
to Licensor, mortgage or grant a security interest in Licensee's interest and
rights under this Agreement, any SLA and the Equipment and may assign this
Agreement, any SLA and the Equipment to any such mortgagees or holders of
security interests, including their successors or assigns (hereinafter
collectively referred to as "Licensee Mortgagee"); provided that such Licensee
Mortgagee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
any SLA so assigned. In such event, Licensor shall execute such consent to
financing as may be reasonably required by any Licensee Mortgagee. Licensor
agrees to give such Licensee Mortgagee the same right to cure any default as
Licensee, except that such cure period for such Licensee Mortgagee shall not be
less than ten (10) days after receipt of the default notice from Licensor.
21. SEVERABILITY
22
If any provision of this Agreement or any SLA is invalid or unenforceable
with respect to any party, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application
of such provision to persons other than those as to whom it is held invalid or
unenforceable, is not to be affected and each provision of this Agreement shall
be deemed valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
parties agree to promptly renegotiate in good faith any provision held to be
invalid or unenforceable under this paragraph.
22. NO WAIVER
No provision of this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived by either
party unless the waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom
enforcement is attempted. The rights granted in this Agreement are cumulative of
every other right or remedy that the enforcing party may otherwise have at law
or in equity or by statute, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies
will not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other
rights or remedies.

authorized signatories of Licensor.
27. RECORDING

or short form of lease (a "Memorandum of Lease"), in form satisfactory for
recording and satisfactory to Licensor, and such Memorandum of Lease may be
filed of record by the Licensee, at Licensee's sole cost, including taxes or
assessments incurred in connection therewith. The parties understand and agree

(30) days of expiration or termination of a Site Agreement. In the event

for this limited purpose to prepare, execute and record such release and

attorney fees and filing fees, incurred in connection therewith.
28. PRIME LEASE AGREEMENT
Licensor and Licensee acknowledge that Licensee's use of a Site may be
derived from a
24
Prime Lease. If this is the case, a copy of the Prime Lease shall be
attached as Exhibit "5" to the applicable SLA, and the following provisions of
this Section shall be applicable. In the event prior approval or payment to the
underlying lessor, grantor or licensor is required in the Prime Lease, the
effectiveness of the applicable SLA shall be specifically subject to the
obtaining of such approval or making such payment or both. Furthermore, all of
the terms, conditions and covenants contained in this Agreement shall be
specifically subject to and subordinate to the terms and conditions of the Prime
Lease. In the event any of the provisions of the Prime Lease supersede or
contradict the terms of this Agreement, such terms of this Agreement and the SLA
shall be deemed deleted or superseded to the extent of the contradiction as
applicable to that Site. Moreover, Licensee agrees to be bound by and agrees to
perform all of the acts and responsibilities required of the lessee, grantee or
licensee pursuant to the Prime Lease as are applicable to the access to and use
of the Site.
29. TERMINATION
This Agreement shall not be terminated prior to expiration, except by
mutual written consent of the parties, or, in the case of an Event of Default,
then upon Licensor's termination. Licensee shall have no right to terminate the
Agreement or any SLA except pursuant to the provisions of Section 16.3. In the
event any previously approved zoning or other permit of a Government Entity
affecting the use of the Site as a communications facility is withdrawn or
terminated, the SLA relating to the Site covered by said permit or approval
shall be deemed to have been terminated effective the date of the termination of
the permit or approval. In the event that the Prime Lease terminates for any
reason, the applicable SLA shall be deemed to have terminated effective the date
of the termination of the Prime Lease.
30. SUPERSEDES
This Agreement revokes and supersedes any other oral or written agreements
between the parties, whether or not in writing, that pertain to the subject
matter described herein.
31. NON-DISCLOSURE
The parties agree that without the express written consent of the other
party, neither party shall reveal, disclose or promulgate to any third party the
terms of this Agreement or any portion thereof, except to such third party's
auditor, accountant, lender or attorney or to a governmental agency if required
by regulation, subpoena or government order to do so.
32. THIRD PARTIES
Any obligations imposed on Licensee in this Agreement shall be equally and
fully applicable to any other third parties that Licensee brings on to a Site or
comes upon a Site through or under the authority of Licensee. Any breach by such
other third parties shall be deemed a breach by Licensee
25
of this Agreement and Licensee shall be fully liable and responsible to
Licensor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for such breach.
33. COMPLIANCE WITH FCC RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION REQUIREMENTS
33.1 LICENSEE'S INSTALLATION OR MODIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT AT A SITE.
Licensee agrees to operate the Equipment within the frequencies and power levels
specified in the Site Engineering Application pursuant to Section 2.1. If
Licensee's installation or modification of Equipment at a Site would put any
Prior User of the Site whose license rights predate those of Licensee, into
non-compliance with the FCC's exposure limits for radio frequency radiation,
then: (i) in the event that such non-compliance can be cured by limiting the
general public's access to the Site, Licensee shall pay all reasonable costs
associated with limiting access to the Site prior to making such installation
and/or modification; or, (ii) in the event such non-compliance can be cured by
modifying the equipment of existing users of the Site, and such users consent to
such modifications, Licensee shall pay all costs associated with making such
modifications.
33.2 FUTURE COOPERATION. In the event that future installations and/or
modifications proposed by third parties would put any user of a Site into
non-compliance with the FCC's exposure limits for radio frequency radiation and
cannot be cured by limiting access to the Site, Licensee shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent, when requested by Licensor, to modify its Equipment so
long as all costs associated with making such modifications to the Equipment are
borne by the party proposing such installation and/or modification. Licensee
further agrees that in the event that there is any change to applicable rules,
regulations and procedures governing radio frequency radiation which put the
Site into non-compliance with the FCC's or any other governmental agency's
exposure limits for radio frequency radiation, Licensee will cooperate with
Licensor and other users of the Site to bring the Site into compliance. The
costs associated with bringing the Site into compliance borne by Licensor shall
be Regulatory Compliance Costs.
33.3 PROTECTION OF WORKERS. Licensee agrees to reduce power or suspend
operation if necessary and upon reasonable notice to prevent exposure of workers
or the public to radio frequency radiation in excess of the then-existing
regulatory standards.
33.4 LICENSEE JOINT RF LIABILITY. The parties acknowledge and agree that if
Licensor does not hold an FCC license and does not, therefore, emit radio
frequency radiation at a Site, then, with respect to that Site, Licensee shall
hold harmless Licensor from claims, charges or violations relating to the
emission of radio frequency radiation at the Site jointly with other users of
the same Site, except to the extent resulting from the negligent act or omission
of Licensor, its agents, employees or contractors.
34. CAPTIONS
Marginal captions and titles of exhibits to this Agreement are for
convenience and reference only. They are in no way to be construed as defining,
limiting or modifying the scope or intent of the
26
various provisions of this Agreement.
35. FCC REGISTRATION
If a Site is registered with the FCC in accordance with 47 C.F.R. Part 17,
Licensor will attach a copy of the FCC Form 854R (Antenna Structure
Registration) to the applicable SLA as Exhibit "6". Licensee acknowledges that
Licensor's provision of said Form 854R (including the Site's coordinates set
forth therein) in no way obligates Licensor to verify the accuracy of the
information contained in said FCC form. Licensee shall assume full
responsibility for its compliance with the FCC regulations and the regulations
of any other local, state or federal Government Entity applicable to any Site.
Licensor will supply copies of such documentation supporting FCC Form 854R to
the extent that documents exist in Licensor's files.
36. REGULATORY FILINGS
Licensee shall make its own inquiries and conduct due diligence as
necessary to assess that each Site sufficiently meets all regulatory
requirements of applicable Government Entities for Licensee's intended and
authorized use. Upon Licensee's request, Licensor shall assist Licensee in
making filings or undertaking due diligence at a fee agreed upon in advance.
Licensee agrees to cooperate with Licensor in all matters relating to FCC and
FAA regulatory requirements, including but not limited to making supplemental or
amended filings to achieve compliance for any Site with such regulations.
Licensee shall provide copies of its regulatory filings regarding any Site to
Licensor. Licensor's receipt of same shall not be deemed acceptance of said
filings or agreement with the facts stated therein. In no event shall filings
made with the FCC contradict the prior status of the Site as having no
significant impact under the National Environmental Protection Act, or the
latitude and longitude stated in existing FCC Form 854R without the express
agreement of Licensor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall report to
Licensor, in writing, any fact or finding of which Licensee has current actual
knowledge, without duty of inquiry that indicates or suggests that the tower at
a Site, or a Site generally is not in compliance with applicable laws, rules or
regulations. The foregoing notwithstanding, Licensee shall not make a filing
with any Government Entity if such filing is inconsistent with any pre-existing
filing made without first obtaining the prior written consent of Licensor.
37. COUNTERPARTS
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which
will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument. Each SLA executed between the parties shall serve to affirm
this Agreement and shall by reference incorporate the terms hereof.
38. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS
27
Neither party shall use the other party's name, service ▇▇▇▇ or trademark
in any public announcement or advertisement without the prior written consent of
the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
39. STATUS OF PARTIES
The parties to this Agreement are strictly independent contractors. Neither
party is in any way an employee, partner, joint venture or agent of the other
party. Neither party shall in any way bind or obligate the other party to any
individual or entity unless a party has received the written consent of the
other party. Each party shall undertake all reasonable measures in the operation
of its business to inform third parties that the other party has no direct or
indirect liability arising out of any agreement entered into by that party, and
that the other party does not control the performance of such party.
40. ATTORNEYS' FEES
The prevailing party in any litigation arising hereunder shall be entitled
to its reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs. Such fees shall be deemed to
include reasonable attorneys' fees incurred through any appeal process and shall
include fees attributable to legal services provided by any in-house counsel or
staff to the prevailing or indemnified party. For purposes hereof, the services
of in-house attorneys and their staff shall be valued at prevailing rates for
independent counsel in the metropolitan area in which such counsel and staff
practice.
41. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement and all SLAs executed hereunder contain all of the
agreements, conditions, understandings, representations and warranties made
between Licensor and Licensee, and no verbal or oral agreements, conditions,
understandings, representations and warranties shall be binding upon either

Furthermore, any addition, variation or modification to this Agreement or any
SLA shall be void and ineffective unless made in writing signed by both parties.
