forth in the Lease , as a condition precedent to payment of Rent under thi s Agreement , Owner shall
furnish, upon completion and at Tenant's request, a copy of the following documents, if applicable: 2C
Survey, Environmental Reports, FAA determination, and FCC Antenna Structure Registration, all of
which shall be in sufficient form and content as reasonably determined by Tenant to satisfy FCC and FAA
reporting requirements and compliance standards of Tenant.
4. Title and Quiet Possession.
Owner represents and agrees (a) that it is in possession of the Site as lessee under a ground lease
("Ground Lease"), and the Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and (b) to the best of Owner's
knowledge, (i) Owner has received no notice of default which is currently in effect under the Ground
Lease, nor has Owner given the other party under the Ground Lease a notice of default which is currently
in effect; (ii) Owner has no knowledge of any circumstance by which the giving of notice or the passage
of time or both would constitute either a default by Owner of the other party under the Ground Lease; ( c)
that it has the right to enter into this Agreement; ( d) that the person signing this Agreement on behalf of
Owner has the authority to sign; and ( e) that Tenant is entitled to the quiet possession of the Site
throughout the Initial Term and each Renewal Term so long as Tenant is not in default beyond the
expiration of any cure period. Tenant, at Tenant's option, may obtain title insurance on the Property.
Owner, at Owner's expense, shall cooperate with Tenant's efforts to obtain title insurance by executing
documents or obtaining requested documentation as required by the title insurance company. If the Site is
subject to a ground lease, Owner agrees to exercise any renewal options contained in the Ground Lease
which may be required to extend the term of the Ground Lease beyond the expiration of the Initial Term
and any Renewal Term hereunder, only if Tenant remains a tenant at the Site, paying Rent monthly.
Owner will not do, attempt, permit or suffer anything to be done which could be construed to be a
violation of the Ground Lease. This Agreement is subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust now of
record against the Site. Promptly after this Agreement is fully executed, Owner will use commercially
reasonable efforts to request the holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust to execute and deliver a
non-disturbance agreement in a form provided by Tenant, and Owner will cooperate with Tenant at
Tenant's sole expense toward such an end. Tenant will not, directly or indirectly, on behalf of itself or
any third party, negotiate, and/or contract with the lessor of the Ground Lease without Owner's prior
written approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant reserves the right to negotiate with
the fee owner of the real property herein concerned in order to allow Tenant to remain on the Site after the
termination of the Owner's interest thereto. In the event Tenant exercises its right to negotiate with the
fee owner, Owner agrees to cooperate with Tenant to continue Tenant's use and occupancy of the Site for
the stated Initial Term and any Renewal Terms hereunder.
5. Assignment/Subletting.
Tenant will not assign or transfer this Agreement or sublet all or any portion of the Site without the prior
written consent of Owner, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant and Owner (as applicable) may assign or sublet this Agreement,
without the Tenant or Owner's prior written consent but with prior written notice to Tenant or Owner, to
any party affiliated with, controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant or Owner or to
any entity which acquires all or substantially all of the Tenant's or Owner's assets in the market defined
by the Federal Communications Commission in which the Site is located by reason of a merger,
acquisition, or other business reorganization. A sublet or assignment by Tenant or Owner under this
Section 5 will not relieve Tenant or Owner of any obligations or liability hereunder; provided, however,
that if Tenant or Owner assigns or transfers this Agreement pursuant to this Section to a transferee with
comparable credit quality, and if Tenant's or Owner's assignee or transferee expressly assumes Tenant's
or Owner's obligations under this Agreement then, in such event Tenant or Owner will be relieved in full
of its obligations under this Agreement.
2
6. Access and Security.
Tenant will have the right of access to the Site where its Equipment is located twenty-four (24) hours a
day, seven (7) days a week; provided that, whenever practical, Tenant shall give Owner twenty-four (24)
hours written notice for maintenance and installation of Equipment performed on the tower. In the event
of an emergency situation which poses an immediate threat of substantial harm or damage to persons
and/or property (including the continued operations of Tenant's telecommunications Equipment) which
requires entry on the Site, Tenant may enter the Site and take the actions that are required to protect
individuals or personal property from the immediate threat of substantial harm or damage, including
ascending the tower; provided that promptly after the emergency entry and in no event later than twenty-
four (24) hours, Tenant gives telephonic and/or written notice to Owner of Tenant's entry onto the Site.
Tenant will at all times have unrestricted access twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week to
the Site, including but not limited to, Tenant's pad, shelter, and Owner's tower subject to the notice
provisions contained hereinabove.
7. Notices.
All notices, requests, demands and communications hereunder will be given by first class certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier, postage prepaid,
to be effective when properly sent and received, refused or returned undelivered. All notices must be in
writing and shall be sent to the address( es) set forth below.

8. Installation and Improvements.
Tenant has the right to do all work necessary to prepare, add, maintain and alter the Site for Tenant's
communications operations and to install utility lines and transmission lines connecting antennas to
transmitters and receivers. Prior to installing or allowing any Equipment to be installed at the Site or
making any changes, modifications or alterations to such Equipment, Tenant at its expense, will obtain all
required governmental approvals and will submit to Owner plans and specifications of the planned
installation or other activity, and the contractors proposed to perform same, for Owner's approval which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, including, if requested by Owner, a
tower loading study performed and certified by an independent licensed professional engineer. All
installations of or other work on Tenant's Equipment will be at Tenant's sole expense. Upon completion
of installation of any Equipment on the Site, Owner will have the right to inspect and reasonably approve
all installation work. Owner reserves the right to prohibit operation of any equipment it reasonably deems
to be improperly installed, unsafe or not included in the installation design plan provided Owner had
given Tenant notice of default and Tenant has failed to cure such default within 30 days of receipt of such
notice. Owner agrees to cooperate with Tenant's reasonable requests, at Tenant's expense, with respect to
obtaining any required zoning and other permitting approvals for the Site and any improvements. Owner
shall not charge Tenant or assess any fee for reviewing and signing applications or other documents for
required permits or other governmental approvals. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement,
Tenant shall have sixty (60) days to remove its Equipment and improvements and will surrender the Site
to Owner in substantially the same condition as existed on the Commencement Date, except for
underground facilities, ordinary wear and tear and insured casualty loss. Tenant will continue paying
Rent for the sixty (60) day period at the current rental rate in effect at the time of termination or
expiration. If Tenant fails to remove its Equipment as hereinbefore specified, Tenant's Equipment will be
subject to disconnection, removal, and disposal by Owner after delivery of any and all notices to Tenant
as may be required by law. If the Equipment is not removed by Owner, a hold-over fee equal to one
hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the then effective monthly Rent, prorated sixty (60) days from the
effective date of termination to the date the Equipment is removed from the Site, shall be paid by Tenant
to Owner. Title to all improvements constructed or installed by Tenant on the Property shall remain in
Tenant, and all improvements constructed or installed by Tenant shall at all times be and remain the
property of Tenant, regardless of whether such improvements are attached or affixed to the Property,
provided Tenant is not in material default under any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement
beyond any applicable cure period. Furthermore, all improvements constructed or installed by Tenant
shall be removable at the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement or any renewal or extension
thereof, provided Tenant shall not at such time be in material default under any covenant or provision
contained in this Agreement.
4
9. Compliance with Laws.
Owner represents that the Site, its property contiguous thereto, and all improvements located thereon, are
in compliance with all known building, life/safety, disability and other laws, codes and regulations of
applicable governmental authorities. Tenant will substantially comply with all known applicable laws
relating to its possession and use of the Site and its Equipment. Tenant understands and acknowledges
that Tenant is entering into this Agreement in order to locate and operate radio frequency transmitter and
associated equipment at the Site. This Equipment is subject to the regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC"), including regulations regarding exposure by workers and
members of the public to the radio frequency emissions generated by Tenant's Equipment. These FCC
regulations prescribe the permissible exposure levels to emissions from transmitters and associated
equipment which can generally be met by maintaining safe distances from transmitters and associated
equipment. Owner therefore agrees that Tenant shall be allowed to install at Tenant's expense such
markings, signage or barriers to restrict access as Tenant deems necessary at the location of Tenant's
facilities in order to comply with the FCC's regulations. Owner also agrees that Tenant shall be allowed
to post prominent signage at all points of entry to the containing instructions as to potential exposure and
methods for minimizing such exposure risk. Owner and Tenant shall cooperate in good faith to minimize
any confusion or unnecessary duplication that could result from similar signage being posted respecting
other carriers' transmission equipment (if any) at or near the Site. Tenant agrees further to alert all
personnel working at or near the Site (e.g., maintenance or inspection personnel), including Tenant's
personnel, to heed all of Tenant's signage or Site restrictions, to maintain the prescribed distance from
Tenant's Equipment, and otherwise to follow the posted instructions. Owner agrees further to provide
advance written notice of any known repairs or maintenance work at the Site which would require work in
closer proximity to Tenant's facilities then prescribed by the signage or Site restrictions. Owner agrees to
cooperate reasonably with Tenant on a going-forward basis in order for Tenant to maintain compliance
with the FCC's regulations. Owner represents and warrants that the Site complies with all applicable
tower or building height, marking and lighting regulations promulgated by the FAA or the FCC. Owner
agrees that Tenant may install, at Tenant's sole cost and expense and as required for Tenant's
telecommunications facility, a (i) backup generator within the Site to provide backup power in the event
of a power outage at the Site, and/or (ii) tower lighting alarm monitoring system (including, but not
limited to, commercial power and a dedicated surveillance telephone line) to monitor the status of the
tower/building lighting. Tenant's installation of such backup generator and/or tower/building lighting
alarm monitoring system will not relieve Owner of its primary responsibility for compliance with all
applicable tower or building marking and lighting requirements.
I 0. Insurance.
Tenant shall be obligated to obtain and maintain the required insurance policies. Tenant shall maintain
the following insurance: (i) Commercial General Liability with limits of $1,000,000.00 per occurrence
and in the aggregate, (ii) Automobile Liability with a combined single limit of$ 1 ,000,000.00 per accident
(iii) Worker's Compensation as required by law, and (iv) Employer's liability with limits of
$1,000,000.00 per accident. Tenant shall include Owner as an additional insured with respect to this
Agreement in the Commercial General Liability insurance. Owner agrees, during the tenn(s) of this
Agreement to maintain commercial general liability insurance policy covering all of its operations and
activities on the leased space under the Ground Lease, having limits of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to self-insure the coverage
required above. In the event Tenant elects to self-insure its obligation to include Owner as an additional
insured, the following provisions shall apply:
(i) Owner shall promptly and no later than thirty (30) days after notice thereof
provide Tenant with written notice of any claim, demand, lawsuit, or the like for which it
5
seeks coverage pursuant to this Section and provide Tenant with copies of any demands,
notices, summonses, or legal papers received in connection with such claim, demand,
lawsuit, or the like;
(ii) Owner shall not settle any such claim, demand, lawsuit, or the like without the
prior written consent of Tenant, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed, and
(iii) Owner shall fully cooperate with Tenant in the defense of the claim,
demand, lawsuit, or the like.
11. Interference.
(a) Where there are existing radio frequency user(s) on the Property, Owner will provide Tenant, upon
execution of this Agreement, with a list of all existing radio frequency user(s) on the Property to allow
Tenant to evaluate the potential for interference. Tenant warrants that its use of the Premises will not
interfere with existing radio frequency user(s) on the Property so disclosed by Owner, as long as the
existing radio frequency user(s) operate and continue to operate within their respective frequencies and in
accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
(b) Owner will not grant, after the date of this Agreement, a lease, license or any other right to any
third party for the use of the Property, if such use may in any way adversely affect or interfere with the
Communication Facility, the operations of Tenant or the rights of Tenant under this Agreement. Owner
will notify Tenant in writing prior to granting any third party the right to install and operate
communications equipment on the Property.
( c) Owner will not use, nor will Owner pennit its employees, tenants, licensees, invitees, agents or
independent contractors to use, any portion of the Property in any way which interferes with the
Communication Facility, the operations of Tenant or the rights of Tenant under this Agreement. Owner
will cause such interference to cease within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of notice of interference
from Tenant. In the event any such interference does not cease within the aforementioned cure period,
Owner shall cease all operations which are suspected of causing interference (except for inte1mittent
testing to detennine the cause of such interference) until the interference has been corrected.
(d) For the purposes of this Agreement, "interference" may include, but is not limited to, any use on
the Property that causes electronic or physical obstrnction with, or degradation of, the communications
signals from the Communication Facility.
12. Utilities.
Tenant shall be entitled to install any utilities and services required for Tenant's Equipment. Tenant will
be responsible directly to the appropriate utility companies for all utilities required for Tenant's use of the
Site. However, Owner agrees to cooperate with Tenant, at Tenant's expense, in its efforts to obtain
utilities from any location provided by the Owner or tl1e servicing utility. Should electric power be
provided by Owner, Tenant shall pay to Owner for the use of Owner's electric power the sum of Three
Hundred ($300.00) dollars per month as a payment separate from Rent. Tenant may at its option and at its
expense, install a separate electric meter and pay its electricity costs directly to the appropriate utility
company. Temporary interruption in the power provided by the facilities will not render Owner liable in
any respect for damages to either person or property nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant
or agreement hereof unless such interruption is due to Owners negligence, willful misconduct or
intentional breach. If any of Tenant's c01mnunications Equipment fails because of loss of any electrical
power, and the restoration of the electrical power is within the reasonable control of Owner, Owner will
use reasonable diligence to restore the electrical power promptly, and Tenant will have no claim for
6
damages on account of an interruption in electrical service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom,
unless such interruption is due to Owner's negligence, willful misconduct or intentional breach.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant will cooperate with Owner in shutting down (and Owner may shut
down) the electrical service to the Site and its communications Equipment in connection with any
necessary maintenance operation conducted for the Site or the facilities thereon if ( 1) such shut down is
required due to RF Emission standards as defined by the FCC; or (2) in emergency situations where
Tenant's Equipment is a hazard to human life or property, provided that if possible, same occurs between
the hours of midnight and 6:00 AM, and provided Owner agrees to give Tenant ten (10) days' prior
written notice, except in emergency situations, which notice may be oral and immediate. In the event of
such an emergency, Owner shall use best efforts to provide Tenant with as much advance notice as is
commercially practicable under the emergency circumstance for any electtical shut down for necessary
maintenance for the Site required under such an emergency basis, and which shut down may require an
interruption in Tenant's operation. Owner shall afford Tenant at no additional cost, a temporary location
from which to operate temporary equipment reasonably required by Tenant to conduct the use hereunder
as Owner provided at the Site (prior to the emergency shut down of power) until electrical service is fully
restored for the Site.
13. Termination by Tenant.
(a) Tenant shall have the right at any time beginning with the first Renewal Term to terminate this
Agreement without further liability on not less than sixty (60) days' prior written notice for any reason or
no reason, so long as Tenant pays Owner a tennination fee equal to six (6) months' Rent at the then-
current rate.
(b) At any time during the Term of this Agreement, and without the requirement to pay any Rent or
tennination fee, Tenant, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Owner, shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement under this and any other termination provision contained in any other Section of
this Agreement, except for Section 13 (a), including, but not limited to the following: (i) if Owner fails to
have proper possession of the Site or authority to enter into this Agreement; or (ii) if Tenant does not
obtain, after making diligent efforts, all permits or other approvals (collectively "approval") required from
any govennnental authority or any easements required from any third party to operate the
telecommunications system facility, or if any such approval is canceled, expires, is withdrawn or
terminated by such govennnental authority or third party following Tenant's diligent efforts to maintain
such approval or (iii) if Tenant is unable to occupy or utilize the Site due to a ruling or directive of the
FCC or other governmental or regulatory agency, including, but not limited to, a take back of channels or
change in frequencies through no fault of the Tenant; (iv) if the Site or the property is destroyed or
damaged so as in Tenant's judgment is effective use of the Site is impractical, and Owner does not
provide Tenant with a suitable temporary site for Tenant's facilities, or Owner decides not to repair or
rebuild in a manner suitable for Tenant's continuing use. Upon Owner's receipt of a termination notice,
Tenant shall have no further obligations to Owner under this Agreement, except for the removal of all
equipment as set forth in Section 8 of the Agreement and continuing indemnity obligations under Section
16hereof.
14. Default.
If either party is in default under this Agreement for a period of (a) thirty (30) days following receipt of
written notice from the non-defaulting party with respect to a default which may be cured solely by the
payment of money, or (b) sixty ( 60) days following receipt of written notice from the non-defaulting party
with respect to a default which may not be cured solely by the payment of money, then, in either event,
the non-defaulting party may pursue any remedies available to it against the defaulting party under any
applicable law, including, but not limited to, the right to tenninate this Agreement. If the non-monetary
7
default may not reasonably be cured within a sixty (60) day period, this Agreement may not be terminated
if the defaulting party commences action to cure the default within such sixty ( 60) day period and
proceeds with due diligence to fully cure the default, except as set forth in Section 11, Interference.
15. Taxes.
Tenant will be responsible for payment of all personal property taxes, state sales or use taxes, regardless
of whether such taxes or assessments are levied directly upon Tenant or indirectly through Owner and/or
primary landowner, and arising solely from its use of tl1e communications facility on the Site. Owner will
be responsible for payment of all the real property taxes, except Tenant shall pay any increase in real
estate taxes levied against the Site directly attributable to Tenant's use of this Site. These additional fees
will be paid to Owner by Tenant within thirty (30) days after written notice by Owner accompanied by
copies of each tax bill, service bill and/or assessment notice which clearly evidences the basis for the
increase, along with the prior year's bill and a reasonable determination of the proportionate amount of
increase attributed to Tenant, together with Owner's share and any other tenant's shares.
16. Indemnity.
Owner and Tenant each indemnifies the other against and holds the other harmless from any and all costs
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) and claims of liability or loss which arise out of the use
and/or occupancy of the Site by the indenmifying party. This indemnity does not apply to any claims
arising from the negligence or intentional misconduct of the indemnified party. Except for its own acts of
negligence or intentional misconduct, neither party will have any liability to the other for any loss or
damage due to personal injury or deatl1, property damage, loss of revenues due to discontinuance of
operations at the Site, libel or slander, (excluding wrongful termination of this Agreement by Owner).
17. Warranties.
(a) Tenant and Owner each acknowledge and represent that it is duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing and has the right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and bind itself hereto
through the party set forth as signatory for the party below.
(b) Owner represents, warrants and agrees that (i) Owner is in possession of the Property by Ground
Lease as stated in Section 4 hereinabove; (ii) the Property is not and will not be encumbered by any liens,
restrictions, mortgages, covenants, conditions, easements, leases, or any other agreements of record or not
of record, which would adversely affect Tenant's Permitted Use and enjoyment of the Premises under this
Agreement; (iii) as long as Tenant is not in default then Owner grants to Tenant quiet and peaceful use,
enjoyment and possession of the Premises; (iv) Owner's execution and performance of this Agreement
will not violate any laws, ordinances, covenants or the provisions of any mortgage, lease or other
agreement binding on Owner.
18. Hazardous Substances.
Owner represents that it has no knowledge after reasonable investigation of any substance, chemical or
waste (collectively "substance") on the Site that is identified as hazardous, toxic or dangerous in any
applicable federal, state or local law or regulation. Tenant and Owner will not introduce or use any such
substance on the Site in violation of any applicable law, or discharge or release of such substance on the
Site. Owner agrees to indenmify and to hold Tenant hannless from and against any and all claims,
judgments demands, penalties, fines, losses and costs and expenses incurred by Tenant as a result of (i)
any substance that Owner, its agents, employees contractors or other tenants cause or pennit to be brought
upon, kept or used in or about tl1e Site or Owner's surrounding property and, (ii) any substance that exists
in or about the Site or Owner's surrounding property as of the Commencement Date. Tenant agrees to
8
indemnify and to hold Owner harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, demands,
penalties, fines losses and costs and expenses incurred by Owner during or after the term of this
Agreement as a result if any substance that Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors cause or permit to
be brought upon or released in or about the Site or Owner's surrounding property in violation of
applicable laws, except with respect to any and all claims resulting from or arising out of any action of
Owner or any third party.
19. Liens.
Neither party hereto will permit any mechanics', materialman's or other liens to stand against the Site for
any labor or material furnished in connection with work of any character performed by or at the direction
of either party. In the event that any notice of lien will be filed or given, the lien party will, within thirty
(30) days after the date of notice of filing, cause the same to be released or discharged by either payment,
deposit, or bond. The liened party shall indemnify the other from and against any losses, damages, costs,
expenses, fees or penalties suffered or incurred by the non-liened party on account of the filing of the
claim or lien.
20. Casualty or Condemnation.
In the event of any damage, destruction or condemnation of the Site, or any part thereof, not caused by
Tenant that renders the Site unusable or inoperable, Tenant shall have the right to abate payment of Rent
until the Site becomes useable or operable for Tenant's use, and Owner will use its best efforts to provide
an alternate location, for Tenant on the property where the Site is located, until the Site is repaired or
made operable. In the event that an alternate location cannot be found, or ifthe repair to the Site will take
longer than ninety (90) days, or is not reasonably acceptable to Tenant, Tenant may terminate the Lease
without further liability. If Owner does not provide an alternate location, either party may terminate this
Agreement within thirty (30) days after the damage, destruction or condemnation. If this Agreement is
not terminated: (i) the rent payable hereunder will be reduced or abated in proportion to the actual
reduction or abatement of use of the Site; and (ii) Owner will make any necessary repairs to the Site
caused by the damage or destruction and will be entitled to use any and all insurance proceeds to pay for
any repairs. Owner will in no event be liable to Tenant for any damage to or loss of the equipment, or
loss or damage sustained by reason of any business interruption suffered by reason of any act of God, by
Owner's act or omission, or Owner's violation of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement, unless caused by Owner's, its agents employees or contractors negligence or willful
misconduct. The terms and conditions of this Section 20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Owner acknowledges that Tenant may have certain emergency procedures that Tenant may desire to
implement, including the temporary location of a cell on wheels on the Site in the event of a casualty. To
the extent possible, Owner will cooperate with Tenant in Tenant's implementation of its emergency
responses as the same may exist from time to time.
21. Memorandum of Lease.
At the request of Tenant, Owner agrees to execute, within fifteen (15) days of receipt, a memorandum or
short form of this Agreement, in recordable form, as indicated on attached Exhibit "C", setting forth a
description of the Site, the term of this Agreement and other information desired by Tenant for the
purpose of giving public notice thereof to third parties.

magazine, or other form of mass media, the terms or conditions of this Agreement. Doing so shall
constitute a default under this Agreement. It is agreed that both parties will not discuss terms and

subordination, non-disturbance and attonunent agreements and/or Landlord recognition agreements, to further
memorialize the foregoing, and further agrees to use reasonable efforts to also cause its lenders to similarly

interest. Landlord agrees to recognize Tenant's Lender (as hereinafter defmed) as Tenant hereunder upon any such
exercise by Lender of its rights of foreclosure.
c) Landlord hereby agrees to give Lender written notice of any breach or default of the tenns of the Lease,
within fifteen days after the occurrence thereof, at such address as is specified by Lender. Landlord further agrees

in the event of any such breach or default under the terms of the Lease, Lender shall have the right, to the same
extent, for the same period and with the same effect, as the Tenant, plus an additional ninety days after any
applicable grace period to cure or correct any such default whether the same shall consist of the failure to pay rent or
the failure to perfonn, and Landlord agrees to accept such payment or performance on the part of the Lender as
though the same had been made or performed by the Tenant. Landlord agrees that it shall not exercise its right to
terminate the Lease or any of its other rights under the Lease upon breach or default of the terms of the Lease
without so affording Lender the foregoing notice and periods to cure any default or breach under the Lease.

any time owed by Tenant to the Lender (the "Collaterar'), and (ii) furthennore agrees that upon an event of default
under the loan documents between Tenant and Lender or the Lease, Lender shall be fully entitled to exercise its
rights against the Collateral prior to the exercise by the Landlord of any rights which it may have therein, including,
but not limited to, entry upon the Premises and removal of the Collateral free and clear of the Landlord's lien and
security interest.
e) Landlord acknowledges that nothing contained herein shall be deemed or constrUed to obligate the Lender

t) During the term of this Lease, Landlord covenants and agrees that it will not grant, create, or suffer any
claim, lien, encumbrance, easement, restriction, or other charge or exception to title to the Premises (an
"Encumbrance") without the prior written consent of Tenant; provided, however, that it is expressly agreed and
understood that Landlord may subject its interest in the Premises to a first mortgage lien if its lender shall agree for
itself and its lender, its successors, and assigns, by written instrument in fonn and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Tenant (!)to be bound by the terms of this Lease; (2) not to disturb Tenant's use or possession of the Premises in
the event of a foreclosure of such lien or encumbrance so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder; and (3) not to
join Tenant as a party defendant in any such foreclosure proceeding taken by it. With regard to any existing
Encumbrance, Landlord covenants and agrees that, upon the request of Tenant, it shall use its best efforts to cause
the holder thereof to execute a customary Subordination Non-Disturbance and AttornmenJ Agreement providing to
Tenant the rights afforded to Tenant above with regard to future first mortgage liens.

in this Lease; provided, however, in no event shall there be more than one such mortgage or encumbrance
outstanding at any one time. If the Tenant shall so mortgage (each a "Mortgage") the Tenant's interest in this Lease
to a lender (such lender, and any successor, assign, designee or nominee of such lender, hereinafter a "Lender"), the
Tenant or such Lender shall give the Landlord prompt notice of such Mortgage and furnish the Landlord with a
complete and correct copy of such Mortgage, certified as such by the Tenant or such Lender, together with the name
and address of such Lender. After receipt of the foregoing, the Landlord shall give to such Lender, at the address of
such Lender set forth in such notice, and otherwise in the manner provided by Section 26 of this Lease, a copy of
each notice of default hereunder at the same time as, and whenever, any such notice of default shall thereafter be
given by the Landlord to the Tenant, and no such notice of default by the Landlord shall be deemed to have been
duly given to the Tenant unless and until a copy thereof shall have been so given to Lender. Notices to Lender
under this Section 23 shall be deemed given on the date received by Lender. Lender (i) shall thereupon have a
period of ninety (90) days more than given to the Tenant in each instance in the case of a default in tlie payment of
rent and in the case of any other default, for remedying the default or causing the same to be remedied; provided,
however, if any non-rent default is not capable of remedy by Lender within such ninety (90) day period, Lender
shall have such ninety (90) day period to commence curing the default and such greater period of time as is
necessary to complete same with due diligence, and (ii) shall, within such periods and otherwise as herein provided,
have the right to remedy such default or cause the same to be remedied. The Landlord shall accept perfonnance by
a Lender of any covenant, condition or agreement on the Tenant's part to be perfonned hereunder with the same
force and effect as though performed by the Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
the default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured by Lender (for example, the bankruptcy of the Tenant), such
event shall not be a default under this Lease.
b) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Lease to the contrary, no default by the Tenant shall be
deemed to exist as long as Lender within the periods set forth in paragraph (a) above shall have delivered to the
Landlord its written agreement to take the action described in clause (i) or (ii) herein and thereafter, in good faith,
shall have commenced promptly either (I) to cure the default and to prosecute the same to completion? or (2) if
possession of the Premises is required in order to cure the default, to institute foreclosure proceedings and obtain
possession directly or through a receiver, and to prosecute such proceedings with diligence and continuity and, upon
obtaining such possession, commence promptly to cure the default and to prosecute the same to completion with
diligence and continuity, provided that during the period in which such action is being taken (and any foreclosure
proceedings are pending), all of the other obligations of the Tenant under this Lease, to the extent they are
reasonably susceptible to being performed by Lender, are being performed. However, at any time after the delivery
of the aforementioned agreement, Lender may notify the Landlord, in writing, that it has relinquished possession of
the Premises or that it will not institute foreclosure proceedings or, if such proceedings have been commenced, that
it bas discontinued or will discontinue them, and in such event, Lender shall have no further liability under such
agreement from and after the date it delivers such notice to the Landlord, and, thereupon, the Landlord shall have the
umestricted right to terminate this Lease and to take any other action it deems appropriate by reason of any default,
and upon any such termination the provisions of Section 24 below shall apply. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, provided such Lender shall have otherwise complied with the provisions of this Section
23, such Lender shall have no obligation to cure any defaults which are not susceptible to being cured by such
Lender.
c) Except as provided in Section 23(a) above, no Lender shall become liable under the provisions of this Lease
or any lease executed pursuant to Section 24 hereof unless and until such time as it becomes, and then only for as
long as it remains, the owner of the leasehold estate credited hereby or thereby. This Lease shall not be amended or
modified without the consent of any Lender which has delivered the notice provided for in Section 23(a) hereof. In
the event that a Lender shall become the owner of such leasehold estate, such Lender shall not be bound by any
modification or amendment of the Lease made subsequent to the date of the Mortgage and delivery to the Landlord
of the notice provided in Section 23(a) hereof and prior to its acquisition of such interest unless Lender shall have
consented to such modification or amendment at the time it was made or at the time of such acquisition.

condemnation proceeds), if any, then held by or payable to the Landlord or any other depository which the Tenant

the Landlord or such depository shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2S hereof, be deemed to be held by or
payable to it as the Landlord or depository under the new lease.
c) Upon the execution and delivery of a new lease under this Section 24, all subleases which theretofore have
been assigned to, or made by, the Landlord shall be assigned and transferred, without recourse, by the Landlord to
the tenant named in such new lease. Between the date of tennination of this Lease and the date of execution of the
new lease, if a Lender shall have requested such new lease as provided in Section 24(a}, the Landlord shall not
cancel any subleases or accept any cancellation, termination or surrender thereof (unless such tennination shall be
effected as a matter of law on the tennination of this Lease) or enter into new subleases without the consent of
Lender.
d) For so long as Lender shall have the right to enter into a new lease with the Landlord pursuant to this

PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY
TAX PARCEL NUMBER: 2175-241-00-032 DATE: October 25, 2013
PROJECT: AT&T Telecommunication Facility
OWNER: Jann Ertl
REPRESENTATIVE: Geoff Squier, C.W. Rech & Company, Inc. (AT&T's representative)
PRACTICAL LOCATION: Section 24 , T6S, R94W, off of County Road 321
ZONING: Rural
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Amendment to an Approved Land Use Change Permit -Determination
whether the propo se d amendment is a minor or major modification.
I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A telecommunication facility was approved on August 5, 2013 and memorialized under Resolution 2013-55.
This application involved ATLAS Tower developing the proposed site in conjunction with AT&T to improve
the carrier's wireless communica t ions network along 1-70.
The telecommunication tower was approved for:
• 125' tall towe r (120' without appurtenances);
• 60' x 60' leased area;
• 59' x 59' area fenced;
• 11' -5" x 20' x 9' -9.5" prefabricated concrete equipment shelter;
• 6' tall fence with 3 strands of barbed wire;
To date, the cond itions of approval id entified under Resolution 2013-55 have not been met and no Land Use
Change Permit (LU CP ) has been issued. An application to amend this LUCP can't occur until a LUCP has been
issued. AT&T now wishes to add the ir communication building and antennae to the tower. The attach ed
drawings deviate from what was approved under Resolution 2013-55 as follows :
• Addition of a ge ne rato r and propane tank (d evelo pm ent outside the 12' x 20' area shown for AT&T's
site); and,
• Antennae set at the 116' elevation than 110' elevation approved.
As per Article 4, Section 4-106 of the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code, amendments to a
Land Use Change Permit requires an Applicant to submit an application in order to determine if the
proposed amendment Is a minor or major modification. Below the Amendments to an Approved Land Use
Change Permit review processes, submittal materials, and application fees are discussed.
11. REGULATORY PROVISIONS APPLICANT IS REQURED TO ADDRESS
• Garfield County Comprehensive Plan 2030;
• Garfield County Land Use and Development Code (LUDC);
• Amendments to an Approved Land Use Change Permit (Section 4-106);
• Tables contained in 4-102, Common Review Procedures and Requirements; and, 4-201, Application
Submittal Requirements.
Ill. REVIEW PROCESS
1. Pre-application Conference.
2. Application.
3. Determination of Completeness.
4. Evaluation and Determination bv Director.
IV. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
Amendments to an Approved Land Use Change Permit -Table 4-201 lists General Application Materials
(Application Form (Please note: the Applicant is the land owner), Statement of Authority (see below),
Letter of Authorization (see below), and Fee) and narrative addressing Article 4, Section 4-106(C) of the
LUDC. As per Section 4-201 (B), the Director may request additional submittal information to adequately
review an application. This information includes:
1. Pre-Application Conference Summary;
2. Payment Agreement Form;
3. Warranty Deed showing ownership of property by Jan Ertl (see attached);
4. Letter of Authorization (LOA) from Jan Ertl to either ATLAS or AT&T to process this application on
behalf of the property owner.
If the Lease from Ertl to ATLAS gives ATLAS authority to seek all government permits; then no
separate LOA is necessary (lease is attached). The mere existence of a lease, however, Is not
sufficient to grant such authority. Specific authorization language is necessary in the lease.
5. If the Letter of Authorization is from Jan Ertl to ATLAS, then I'll also need a Letter of Authorization
from ATLAS to AT&T saying that ATLAS, as lessee, is giving AT&T authority to process this application.
(If the LOA is from Ertl to AT&Tthen we can skip the middle step of establishing a chain of authority
between Ertl and ATLAS.)
If the Sub-Lease between ATLAS and AT&T gives AT&Tauthority to seek all government permits;
then no separate LOA is necessary. The mere existence of a sub-lease, however, is not sufficient
to grant such authority. Specific language is necessary in the sub-lease.
6. Construction Plan set illustrating the modification. The plans need to be stamped by a qualified
engineer registered in the State of Colorado or a letter from this engineer stating that the plan set
was reviewed and approved by him or her; and,
7. Applicable Resolution (Resolution 2013-55, see attached).
Submit three (3) paper copies and one CD. Additional copies may be requested upon determination of
completeness.

RE: Amended Land Use Change Permit-Ertl/Atlas Tower
(File No. SUAA-7810)
Dear Geoff:
This letter is in regard to our completeness review of the Application you have submitted
on behalf of Jan Ertl and Atlas Tower for an Amended Land Use Change Permit-
Special Use Permit for a Telecommunication Facility. The permit is located off of
County Road 321 on property known by Assessor's Parcel No. 2175-241-00-032.
Based on the information you have provided our completeness review is ongoing. Our
initial review indicates that the following information is needed for us to complete our
review. We appreciate your understanding as our staffing changes have resulted in
your file being reassigned. I will also follow-up with a phone call to answer any
questions regarding the completeness issues.
1. In order for us to initiate review by the County Attorney's Office and properly file
your Application please provide two additional hard copies of your Application
submittals along with one copy on a CD. This is a standard requirement for receipt and
processing of your submittal and a pre-requisite to review of your leases and
authorization to apply documentation.
2. Your application is requesting an amendment to an existing approval. Your
submittals need to include copies of the original approval resolution and Land Use
Change Permit.
3. While your pre-application summary and Application form provide basic
information on your proposal, you should include with the submittal a narrative
explanation describing in detail your proposed amendment. The narrative and
supporting documentation should also address the review criteria for determining if your
application is a minor modification or substantial modification. The review criteria are
contained in Section 4-106(C).
4. Your Application form identifies your request as an amendment to a Special Use
Permit. This should be corrected to reflect our current terminology that the Application
is requesting an amendment to an approved Land Use Change Permit.
5. Additional Application materials may be required based on review by Planning
Staff and the County Attorney's Office. .f\dditional Application materials may also be
required based on the Director's Determination if the request is considered a
Substantial Modification.
In order to keep your Application moving forward I am in the process of reviewing the
current approvals for the Ertl -Atlas Tower approvals. I look forward to discussing your
file and the next steps toward completeness and the Director's Determination. Please
call with any questions as soon as your schedule permits.
Sincerely,
/}/l ;/J---

I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A telecommunication facility w as approved on August 5, 2013 and memorialized under Re solution 2013 -55.
This application involved ATLAS Tower developing the propos ed site in co njunction with AT&T to improve
the ca rrier's wirele ss communications network along 1-70 .
The telecommunication tower wa s approved for:
• 125' tall tower (120 ' without ap purtenances );

• 59' x 59' area fe nced;
• 11' -5" x 20' x 9' -9.5" prefa bricated concrete equipment shelter;
• 6' tall fence with 3 strands of barbed wire;
To date, the conditions of approval identified under Resolution 2013 -55 have not been m et and no Land Use
Change Permit (LUCP) has been is sued . An application to amend this LUCP can't occur until a LUCP has been
is sue d. AT&T now wishes to add their communication building and antennae to the tower. The attached
drawings deviate from what was approved under Resolution 2013-55 as follows:
• Addition of a generator and propane tank (d evelopm ent outside th e 12' x 20' area shown for AT&T's
site); and,
• Antennae set at the 116' elevation than 110' elevation approved.
As per Article 4, Section 4-106 of the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code, amendments to a
Land Use Change Permit requires an Applicant to submit an application in order to determine if the
proposed amendment is a minor or major modification. Below the Amendments to an Approved Land Use

111. REVIEW PROCESS
1. Pre-app//catlon Conference.
2. Appl/cation.
3. Determination of Completeness.
4. Evaluation and Determination by Director.
IV. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
Amendments to an Approved Land Use Change Permit -Table 4-201 lists General Application Materials
(Application Form (Please note: the Applicant Is the land owner), Statement of Authority (see below),
Letter of Authorization (see below), and Fee) and narrative addressing Article 4, Section 4-106{C) of the
LUDC. As per Section 4-201 (B), the Director may request additional submittal information to adequately
review an application. This information includes:
1. Pre-Application Conference Summary;
2. Payment Agreement Form;
3. Warranty Deed showing ownership of property by Jan Ertl (see attached);
4. Letter of Authorization (LOA) from Jan Ertl to either ATLAS or AT&T to process this application on
behalf of the property owner.
If the Lease from Ertl to ATLAS gives ATLAS authority to seek all government permits; then no
separate LOA is necessary (lease Is attached). The mere existence of a lease, however, is not
sufficient to grant such authority. Specific authorization language is necessary in the lease.
5. If the Letter of Authorization is from Jan Ertl to ATLAS, then I'll also need a Letter of Authorization
from ATLAS to AT&T saying that ATLAS, as lessee, is giving AT&T authority to process this application.
(If the LOA is from Ertl to AT&T then we can skip the middle step of establishing a chain of authority
between Ertl and ATLAS.)
If the Sub-Lease between ATLAS and AT&T gives AT&T authority to seek all government permits;
then no separate LOA Is necessary. The mere existence of a sub-lease, however, is not sufficient
to grant such authority. Specific language is necessary in the sub·lease.
6. Construction Plan set illustrating the modification. The plans need to be stamped by a qualified
engineer registered in the State of Colorado or a letter from this engineer stating that the plan set
was reviewed and approved by him or her; and,
7. Applicable Resolution (Resolution 2013-55, see attached).
Submit three (3) paper copies and one CD. Additional copies may be requested upon determination of
completeness.
