Licensee shall identify its Approved Equipment, including its equipment cabinets and coaxial cable (at the
top and bottom of the Tower) (unless such cabinet is located in a building or cabinet owned by Licensee)
by labels with Licensee's name, contact phone number and date of installation. In the event that Licensee
fails to comply with this provision and fails to cure such deficiency within ten (10)days of Licensor's written
notice of such failure, Licensor may, but is not obligated to, in addition to any other rights it may have
hereunder, label the Approved Equipment and assess against Licensee a fee of five hundred dollars
($500.00)("Labeling Fee")which shall be payable to Licensor upon receipt of an invoice therefor. Licensor
shall not be responsible to Licensee for any expenses or Damages incurred by Licensee arising from the

interruption of Licensee's service caused by Licensor if Licensor is unable to identify the Approved
Equipment as belonging to Licensee as a result of Licensee's failure to label such Approved Equipment.
10. IMPROVEMENTS BY LICENSEE.
(a) Installation and Approved Vendors. Prior to the commencement of any Work on the
Tower Facility, Licensee shall submit to Licensor for review and approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, detailed plans and specifications accurately describing all aspects of the proposed
Work. Licensee shall provide notice to Licensor no less than 5 days prior to the date upon which Licensee
intends to commence Work at the Tower Facility, together with a construction schedule, so Licensor has
the opportunity to be present during any such Work. Licensee shall not commence Work on the Tower
Facility until Licensor issues to Licensee a NTP. Licensor shall issue a NTP only upon request from
Licensee and receipt of the following complete and accurate documentation: (1) evidence that any
contingencies set forth in the approval of Licensee's Application have been satisfied; (2) evidence that
Licensee has obtained all required governmental approvals including, but not limited to, zoning approvals,
building permits, and any applicable environmental approvals including copies of the same; (3) a copy of
the plans and specifications that have been approved by Licensor for the proposed equipment installation;
(4) evidence that any contractor, subcontractor, or third-party, other than Licensor but including Licensee,
that will be performing the Work are on Licensor's approved vendor list, with valid and current worker's
compensation and general liability insurance certificates on file with Licensor naming Licensor as an
additional insured and which otherwise satisfy the insurance coverage requirements set forth in Subsection
15(d) of this Agreement; and (5) a construction schedule. In no event will a NTP be issued prior to the
payment by Licensee of a Relocation Application Fee when required pursuant to Subsection 10(c) of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Licensor reserves the right, in its
sole discretion, to refuse to permit any person or company to climb the Tower.
(b) Structural Analysis/Interference Analysis. Prior to the commencement of any Work on
the Tower Facility by or for the benefit of Licensee, with the exception of the initial installation, Licensor
may, in its reasonable discretion, perform or cause to be performed a structural analysis or require a
professional engineer's certified letter to determine the availability of capacity at the Tower Facility for the
installation or modification of any Approved Equipment and/or additional equipment at the Licensed Space
by Licensee. Licensee agrees to remit payment to Licensor for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by Licensor for such structural analysis or professional engineer's certified letter ("Structural Analysis
Fee")within thirty (30)days following receipt of an invoice from Licensor. The foregoing charge shall be at
Licensor's prevailing rates for the performance of same or the amount Licensor's vendor is then charging
Licensor, as applicable. In the event a structural analysis is performed after the execution of this Agreement
but prior to the initial installation of the Approved Equipment, and such analysis indicates that the existing
Tower cannot accommodate the proposed installation of Licensee's Approved Equipment thereon, Licensor
shall notify Licensee that modification of the Tower is required and inform Licensee of the fee Licensor will
charge Licensee to complete such modification (which fee shall be a reasonable estimate of Licensor's
actual cost of making such modifications). Such modification shall become part of the Tower Facility and
be Licensor's sole property. If Licensee elects not to pay such fee, and Licensee and Licensor do not
otherwise reach an agreement regarding the costs of such modification, Licensee may terminate this
Agreement upon written notice to Licensor. Prior to the commencement of any subsequent construction or
installation on the Tower Facility after the initial installation by or for the benefit of Licensee and/or the
modification of Licensee's Permitted Frequencies propagated from the Licensed Space, Licensor may elect
to perform a shared site interference study("SSIS")and Licensee shall pay Licensor a fee of$1,600.00 per
study("SSIS Fee"), as adjusted annually on the anniversary of the Commencement Date by a percentage
rate equal to the Annual Escalator. This fee shall be payable at the time Licensee pays the Relocation
Application Fee where required pursuant to Subsection 10(c) of this Agreement, or immediately upon
receipt of notice from Licensor that Licensor has determined that a SSIS is required. In the event a SSIS
is performed after the execution of this Agreement by Licensor but prior to the installation of Licensee's
Approved Equipment, and such SSIS indicates that the proposed installation of Licensee's Approved
Equipment on the Tower is acceptable, such an indication in no way relieves Licensee of its obligations
under Section 11 herein.

(c) Equipment; Relocation, Modification, Removal. Licensor hereby grants Licensee
reasonable access to the Licensed Space for the purpose of installing and maintaining the Approved
Equipment and its appurtenances. Except as otherwise provided, Licensee shall be responsible for all site
Work to be done on the Licensed Space or the Easement pursuant to this Agreement. Licensee shall
provide all materials and shall pay for all labor for the construction, installation, operation, maintenance and
repair of the Approved Equipment. Licensee shall not construct, install or operate any equipment or
improvements on the Tower Facility other than those which are described on Exhibit A, alter the Permitted
Frequencies, or alter the operation of the Approved Equipment. Licensee shall submit an Application,
utilizing Licensor's then current form, to request the right to replace or modify its Approved Equipment,alter
the Permitted Frequencies or increase the Ground Space, which Application shall be accompanied by a
Relocation Application Fee. Licensor shall evaluate for approval the feasibility of Licensee's request,which
approval shall be in Licensor's sole discretion. Licensee acknowledges that any such relocation or
modification of the Approved Equipment may result in an increase in the Monthly License Fee. An
amendment to this Agreement shall be prepared to reflect each addition or modification to Licensee's
Approved Equipment to which Licensor has given its written consent and the resulting increase in the
Monthly License Fee, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may perform routine maintenance
on, modify and/or replace equipment within Licensee's shelter without the need to submit an application to
Licensor. Both Parties agree that Licensee shall follow Licensor's application process for all other future
modifications to Licensee's Approved Equipment. Licensee shall have the right to remove all Approved
Equipment at Licensee's sole expense on or before the expiration or earlier termination of the License
provided Licensee repairs any damage to the Tower Facility or the Tower caused by such removal. Within
thirty(30)days of the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Licensee shall: (i)remove
the Approved Equipment and any other property of Licensee at the Tower Facility at Licensee's sole risk,
cost, and expense; (ii)deliver the Licensed Space in substantially the same and in as good a condition as
received (ordinary wear and tear excepted); and (iii) repair any damage caused by the removal of the
Approved Equipment within twenty(20)days of the occurrence of such damage. If Licensee fails to timely
pay the Holdover Fee or does not remove its Approved Equipment within thirty(30)days after the expiration
or termination of this Agreement, (i)the Approved Equipment shall be deemed conclusively and absolutely
abandoned by Licensee and anyone claiming by, through, or under Licensee except for Hazardous
Materials and waste and Approved Equipment containing Hazardous Materials and waste;and (ii) Licensor
shall have the right to remove the Approved Equipment at Licensee's sole expense and dispose of such
Approved Equipment in any manner Licensor so elects, and Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for its
expenses upon demand without off-set.
11. RF INTERFERENCE/ USER PRIORITY.
(a) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 11, the following capitalized terms shall have
the meanings set forth herein:
(i) Interference includes any performance degradation, misinterpretation, or loss of
information to a radio communications system caused by unwanted energy emissions, radiations, or
inductions, but shall not include permissible interference as defined by the FCC, and in addition, with regard
to Unlicensed Frequencies, congestion.
(ii) Licensed Frequencies are those certain channels or frequencies of the radio
frequency spectrum that are licensed by the FCC in the geographic area where the Tower Facility is located.
(iii) A Licensed User is any user of the Tower Facility, including Licensee, which
transmits and/or receives Licensed Frequencies at the Tower Facility, but only with respect to such
Licensed Frequencies.
(iv) A Priority User is any Licensed User of the Tower Facility that holds a priority
position in relationship to Licensee for protection from Interference, as determined in this Section 11,which
status is subject to change as set forth herein.

LICENSOR SITE NAME/NUMBER:Castle Hill TX 1/309040
LICENSEE SITE NAME/NUMBER:Castle Hill TX 1/309040
(v) A Subsequent User is any user of the Tower Facility that holds a subordinate
position in relationship to Licensee for protection from Interference, as determined in this Section 11,which
status is subject to change as set forth herein.
(vi) Unlicensed Frequencies are those certain channels or frequencies of the radio
frequency spectrum that are not licensed by the FCC and are available for use by the general public in the
geographic area where the Tower Facility is located.
(vii) An Unlicensed User is any user of the Tower Facility, including Licensee, which
transmits and/or receives Unlicensed Frequencies at the Tower Facility, but only with respect to such
Unlicensed Frequencies.
(b) Information. Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor and with other lessees, licensees or
occupants of the Tower Facility for purposes of avoiding Interference and/or investigating claims of
Interference. Upon request, Licensee, within ten (10) business days of Licensor's request, shall provide
Licensor with a list of Licensee's transmit and receive frequencies and Approved Equipment specifications
necessary to resolve or investigate claims of Interference.
(c) Unlicensed Frequencies. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, as
among Licensor, Licensee and other users of the Tower or Tower Facility, (i)an Unlicensed User shall have
no priority with respect to any other FCC Unlicensed Users with respect to Interference; and (ii) an
Unlicensed User's rights and obligations with respect to such Interference shall be determined and
governed by FCC Rules and Regulations and any other Applicable Law. Licensor expressly disclaims any
and all warranties and accepts no responsibility for management, mediation, mitigation or resolution of
Interference among FCC Unlicensed Users operating at the Tower Facility and shall have no liability
therefor.
(d) Licensed Frequencies. Subject to FCC Rules and Regulations and otherApplicable Law,
the Parties acknowledge and agree that the accepted industry standard for priority protection from
Interference between multiple Licensed Users has been based on the priority of occupancy of each user to
another user of the Tower or Tower Facility, which priority has been based on the order of submittal of its
collocation Application by each user of the Tower or Tower Facility. Should the application of FCC Rules
and Regulations and other Applicable Law not resolve any claims of Interference consistent with
Subsections 11(e), 11(t and 11(g) below, as among Licensor, Licensee and other users of the Tower
Facility, (i)each Licensed User's priority shall be maintained so long as the Licensed User does not change
the equipment and/or frequency that it is entitled to use at the Tower Facility at the time of its initial
occupancy; and (ii) Licensee acknowledges and agrees that if Licensee replaces its Approved Equipment
or alters the radio frequency of the Approved Equipment to a frequency range other than as described on
page 1 of this Agreement, Licensee will lose its priority position for protection from Interference with regard
to Approved Equipment operating at the new frequency in its relationship to other Licensed Users which
are in place as of the date Licensee replaces its Approved Equipment or alters its radio frequency,
consistent with this Section 11.
(e) Correction.
(i) Licensee. Licensee agrees not to cause Interference with the operations of any
other user of the Tower or Tower Facility and to comply with all other terms and provisions of this Section
11 imposed upon Licensee. If Licensor determines, in its reasonable discretion based on standard and
accepted engineering practices, that Licensee's Approved Equipment is causing Interference to the
installations of Licensor or a Priority User, Licensee shall, within 48 hours of notification from Licensor, take
such actions as are necessary to mitigate or eliminate the Interference, with the exception of ceasing
Licensee's operations. If Licensee cannot mitigate or eliminate such Interference within the 48 hour period,
Licensor may file a complaint with the FCC (currently the FCC's Enforcement Bureau, Spectrum
Enforcement Division) or if such other user of the Tower Facility which is subject to Interference from
Licensee's Approved Equipment is a Priority User, then upon the request of such Priority User consistent

LICENSOR SITE NAME/NUMBER:Castle Hill TX 1/309040
LICENSEE SITE NAME/NUMBER:Castle Hill TX 1/309040
with Licensor's contractual obligations owed to the Priority User, Licensor may require that Licensee turn
off or power down its interfering Approved Equipment and only power up or use such Approved Equipment
during off-peak hours specified by Licensor in order to test whether such Interference continues or has
been satisfactorily eliminated. If Licensee is unable to resolve or eliminate, to the satisfaction of Licensor,
such Interference within thirty(30)days from Licensee's initial notification thereof, Licensee will immediately
remove or cease operations of the interfering Approved Equipment.
(ii) Licensor. Upon the request of Licensee, Licensor hereby covenants to take
commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit a Subsequent User from causing Interference with the
operations of Licensee to the extent Licensee is a Priority User pursuant this Section 11. If Licensor
determines, in its reasonable discretion based on standard and accepted engineering practices, that a
Subsequent User's equipment is causing Interference to the installations of Licensee, upon Licensee's
request, Licensor shall, within 48 hours of request, commence such actions as are necessary to mitigate
or eliminate the Interference, with the exception of ceasing Subsequent User's operations.
(iii) Government Users. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if another user of the Tower
or Tower Facility is a governmental entity, Licensor shall give such governmental entity written notice of the
Interference within 5 Business Days of Licensor's determination that such action is reasonably necessary.
Licensor shall have the right to give the governmental entity 5 Business Days, or more as specified in the
governmental site or occupancy agreement or as required by Applicable Law, from the receipt of such
notice prior to Licensor being required to take any actions required by this Subsection 11(e) to cure such
Interference.
(f) FCC Requirements Regarding Interference. Nothing herein shall prejudice, limit or
impair Licensee's rights under Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, FCC Rules and Regulations to
redress any Interference independently of the terms of this Section 11. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the provisions set forth in this Section 11 shall be interpreted in a manner so as not to be
inconsistent with Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, FCC Rules and Regulations and nothing
herein relieves Licensee from complying with all Applicable Laws governing the propagation of radio
frequencies and/or radio frequency interference. The Parties acknowledge that currently FCC Rules and
Regulations govern the obligations of wireless telecommunication service providers with respect to the
operation of equipment and use of frequencies. Consequently, the provisions set forth in this Section 11
are expressly subject to CFR, Title 47, including but not limited to Part 15; et seq, governing Radio
Frequency Devices; Part 20,et seq,governing commercial mobile radio services; Part 24,et seq,governing
personal communications services; and Part 90, et seq, governing private land mobile radio services. In
addition, in accordance with good engineering practice and standard industry protocols, licensees employ
a wide range of techniques and practices, including those involving the use of proper types of equipment
as well those related to the adjustment of operating parameters, in a mutually cooperative effort to identify
and mitigate sources of Interference. The obligation of Part 20 licensees, including, but not limited to,
private paging, specialized mobile radio services, cellular radiotelephone service and personal
communications services, to avoid Interference is set forth in 47 CFR Part 90, Subpart N — Operating
Requirements,§90.403(e). Claims of Interference are ultimately cognizable before the FCC's Enforcement
Bureau, Spectrum Enforcement Division. Licensee shall observe good engineering practice and standard
industry protocols, applying such commercially reasonable techniques as constitute best practices among
licensees, in the deployment of their frequencies and the operation of the Approved Equipment. If Licensee
deploys its frequencies or operates the Approved Equipment in a manner which prevents any other user of
the Tower or Tower Facility from decoding signal imbedded in their licensed frequencies such that the
Spectrum Enforcement Division makes a determination that Licensee is the cause of the Interference and
Licensee fails or refuses to mitigate or eliminate the Interference within the time and in the manner
prescribed by the Spectrum Enforcement Division, Licensee shall be default of this Agreement and the
remedies set forth in Section 22 shall apply.
(g) Public Safety Interference. As of the Commencement Date, Licensor and Licensee are
aware of the publication of FCC Final Rule, Private Land Mobile Services; 800 MHz Public Safety
Interference Proceeding, Federal Register. November 22, 2004 (Volume 69, Number 224), Rules and

Regulations, Page 67823-67853 ("Final Rule"). Claims of Interference made by or against users which
are public safety entities shall be in compliance with the Final Rule as and when effective, or otherwise in
accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations.
(h) AM Detuning. The parties acknowledge that the FCC Rules and Regulations govern the
obligations of Licensee with respect to the operation of the Approved Equipment. Consequently, the
provisions set forth in this Agreement are expressly subject to the FCC Rules and Regulations, including,
but not limited to 47 C.F.R. §§ 27.63, 22.371 and 73.1692. Licensee agrees, at Licensee's sole cost, to
comply with the foregoing as well as any and all other FCC Rules, Regulations and public guidance relating
to AM detuning as such provisions currently exist or are hereafter modified. Licensee shall be fully
responsible for any pre and/or post installation testing for AM interference at the Tower Facility and for the
installation of any new detuning apparatus or the adjustment of any existing detuning apparatus that may
be necessary to prevent adverse effects on the radiation pattern of any AM station caused by the installation
of the Approved Equipment. Licensee shall provide Licensor with written proof of such compliance. In the
event that Licensee determines that pre or post-installation testing for AM interference is not required at the
Tower Facility, such a determination shall be at Licensee's sole risk. If Licensee or Licensor receives a
complaint of interference from an AM broadcast station after the Approved Equipment is added to a Tower
or a Tower is modified to accommodate Licensee, Licensee shall eliminate such interference within thirty
(30)calendar days of the receipt of such complaint. Licensee's failure to eliminate such interference within
such thirty(30)day period shall constitute a default under this Agreement and Licensor shall have the right
to eliminate such interference at Licensee's expense. Licensee further agrees, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to indemnify Licensor in the event that Licensee's failure to comply with the FCC Rules and
Regulations prior to installation/modification of the Approved Equipment results in any administrative
investigation, proceeding or adjudication with respect to Licensor. If Licensee is unable, due to applicable
law, to indemnify Licensor, Licensee agrees to save harmless Licensor in the event that Licensee's failure
to comply with the FCC Rules and Regulations prior to installation/modification of the Approved Equipment
results in any administrative investigation, proceeding or adjudication with respect to Licensor.
(i) Government Approvals. Prior to installation of the Approved Equipment, in the event that
any government permit, approval or authorization required for Licensee's use or operation of Approved
Equipment is rejected or terminated through no act or omission of the Licensee, either in whole or in part,
this Agreement shall be deemed terminated immediately upon written notice to Licensor. In the event of
such termination, neither party shall have any obligations under this Agreement, except for those
indemnities provided in Section 15 of this Agreement.
12. SITE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Licensee agrees to comply with the reasonable rules and regulations established from time to time at the
Tower Facility by Licensor, which may be modified by Licensor from time to time upon receipt by Licensee
of such revised rules and regulations. Such rules and regulations will not unreasonably interfere with
Licensee's use of the Licensed Space under this Agreement.
13. DESTRUCTION; CONDEMNATION.
(a) Destruction. If the Tower or other portions of the improvements at the Tower Facility
owned by Licensor are destroyed or so damaged as to materially interfere with Licensee's use and benefits
from the Licensed Space, Licensor or Licensee shall be entitled to elect to cancel and terminate this
Agreement on the date of such casualty and any unearned Monthly License Fee paid in advance of such
date shall be refunded by Licensor to Licensee within thirty (30) days of such termination date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor may elect, in its sole discretion, to restore the damaged
improvements, in which case Licensee and Licensor shall remain bound to the terms of this Agreement but
Licensee shall be entitled to an abatement of the Monthly License Fee during the loss of use. If the Tower
is so damaged that reconstruction or repair cannot reasonably be undertaken without removing the
Approved Equipment, then (i) Licensor may, upon giving written notice to Licensee, remove any of the
Approved Equipment and interrupt the signal activity of Licensee, (ii)Licensee may, at Licensee's sole cost

and expense, install temporary facilities pending such reconstruction or repair, provided such temporary
facilities do not interfere with the construction, rebuilding or operation of the Tower, (iii) Licensor agrees to
provide Licensee alternative space, if available, on the Tower or at the Tower Facility during such
reconstruction/repair period and (iv) should Licensor not substantially restore or replace the Tower in a
fashion sufficient to allow Licensee to resume operations thereon within 6 months of the date of casualty,
provided that such 6 month period shall be automatically extended for so long as Licensor has commenced
and diligently continues to restore or replace such Tower, and Licensee's operation has been materially
disrupted for sixty(60)or more consecutive days, then Licensee, upon thirty(30)days' prior written notice
to Licensor, may terminate this Agreement.
(b) Condemnation. If the whole or any substantial part of the Tower Facility shall be taken
by any public authority under the power of eminent domain or in deed or conveyance in lieu of condemnation
so as to materially interfere with Licensee's use thereof and benefits from the Licensed Space, then this
Agreement shall terminate on the part so taken on the date of possession by such authority of that part,
and Licensor or Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and any unearned Monthly
License Fee paid in advance of such termination shall be refunded by Licensor to Licensee within thirty
(30) days following such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor may elect to rebuild the
Tower or other improvements affected by such condemnation at an alternate location or property owned,
leased or managed by Licensor, in which case Licensee and Licensor shall remain bound hereby. Upon
such relocation of the Tower or improvements, the Licensed Space shall be modified to include the new
Tower or improvements and the property on which the same are located and this Agreement shall be
amended accordingly to clarify the rights of Licensor and Licensee with respect to the Licensed Space.
Licensee agrees not to make a claim to the condemning authority for any condemnation award to the extent
such claim shall diminish or affect the award made to Licensor with regard to such condemnation; provided
Licensee may seek its own condemnation award separate and apart from any such condemnation award
made to Licensor.
(c) License Fee Abatement. The Monthly License Fee with respect to the affected Tower
Facility shall be abated during any period that the Tower has not been restored following an event described
in Subsections (a) or (b) above so long as Licensee is unable to continue to operate from a temporary
location at the Tower Facility during any period of restoration.
14. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
Licensor shall be responsible for compliance with any marking and lighting requirements of the FAA and
the FCC applicable to the Tower Facility, provided that if the requirement for compliance results from the
presence of the Approved Equipment on the Tower, Licensee shall pay the costs and expenses therefor
(including any lighting automated alarm system so required). Licensee has the responsibility of carrying
out the terms of Licensee's FCC license with respect to tower light observation and notification to the FAA
if those requirements imposed on Licensee are in excess of those required of Licensor. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Licensee shall at all times comply with all Applicable Laws and
ordinances and all rules and regulations of municipal, state and federal governmental authorities relating
to the installation, maintenance, location,use,operation,and removal of the Approved Equipment and other
alterations or improvements authorized pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
15. INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE.
(a) Mutual Indemnity. Subject to the mutual waiver of subrogation set forth in Section 27,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Licensee and Licensor each indemnifies the other against
and holds the other harmless from any and all costs, demands, Damages, suits, expenses, or causes of
action (including reasonable attorneys fees and court costs)which arise out of the use and/or occupancy
of the Licensed Space by the Indemnifying Party. This indemnity does not apply to any Claims to the extent
arising from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Indemnified Party.

INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCURRED RESULTING FROM (i) LICENSEE'S USE
OR LICENSEE'S INABILITY TO USE THE TOWER FACILITY, OR (ii) DAMAGE TO THE OTHER'S
EQUIPMENT. If Licensor shall fail to perform or observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation
required to be performed or observed by it under this Agreement or is charged with an indemnity obligation
hereunder, and if Licensee shall, as a consequence thereof, recover a money judgment against Licensor
(whether compensatory or punitive in nature), Licensee agrees that it shall look solely to Licensor's right,
title and interest in and to the Tower Facility and the Tower for the collection of such judgment,and Licensee
further agrees that no other assets of Licensor shall be subject to levy, execution or other process for the
satisfaction of Licensee's judgment, and that Licensor shall not be personally liable for any deficiency.
17. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
LICENSOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TOWER FACILITY OR THE

of Licensor's request and is hereby deemed fully earned by Licensor upon receipt. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, Licensor may condition its consent to any assignment, on among other things, (i) requiring
that the assignee execute a new form of license agreement so long as the Monthly License Fee and Initial
and Renewal Terms of such agreement are consistent with those set forth in this Agreement, and (ii)
requiring the assignee to demonstrate that it maintains at the time of such assignment, as evidenced by
current financial statements provided to Licensor, a financial position reasonably demonstrating the ability
of such assignee to meet and perform the obligations of Licensee hereunder through the unexpired balance
of the then current Initial Term or Renewal Term.Any purported assignment by Licensee in violation of the
terms of this Agreement shall be void. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted
assigns of both Parties.
20. SUBORDINATION TO GROUND LEASE.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event Licensor's rights in the Licensed Space and/or any
part of the Tower Facility is derived in whole or part pursuant to an underlying lease, sublease, permit,
easement or other right of use agreement (a "Ground Lease"), all terms, conditions and covenants
contained in this Agreement shall be specifically subject to and subordinate to the terms and conditions of
the applicable Ground Lease. In the event that any of the provisions of the Ground Lease are in conflict
with any of the provisions of this Agreement (other than those provisions relating to the length of term,
termination rights or financial consideration),the terms of the Ground Lease shall control. Further, Licensee
agrees to comply with the terms of such Ground Lease as applicable to the access and occupancy of the
Licensed Space. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Ground Lease
expires or is terminated for any reason, this Agreement shall terminate on the effective date of such
termination and Licensor shall have no liability to Licensee as a result of the termination of this Agreement.
Licensor is under no obligation to extend the term of or renew the Ground Lease. Licensor shall give
Licensee written notice of such termination or expiration of this Agreement as a result of the termination or
expiration of the Ground Lease as soon as practicable. Unless prohibited by the terms of such Ground
Lease, upon Licensee's written request, Licensor shall provide a copy of any applicable Ground Lease with
the economic terms and other terms that Licensor deems reasonably confidential redacted.
21. DEFAULT

breach of this Agreement by Licensee: (i) any failure of Licensee to pay the Monthly License Fee, or any
other charge for which Licensee has the responsibility of payment under this Agreement, within ten (10)
Business Days of the date following written notice to Licensee from Licensor, or its designee, of such
delinquency, it being understood, however, that Licensor is obligated to provide such notice only two times
in each calendar year, and the third instance of the failure to pay the Monthly License Fee or any other
charge shall be an immediate default without notice to Licensee if not paid within ten (10) Business Days
of the date when due; (ii) any failure of Licensee to perform or observe any term, covenant, provision or
condition of this Agreement which failure is not corrected or cured by Licensee within thirty (30) days of
receipt by Licensee of written notice from Licensor, or its designee, of the existence of such a default;
except such thirty(30) day cure period shall be extended as reasonably necessary to permit Licensee to
complete a cure so long as Licensee commences the cure within such thirty (30) day cure period and

thereafter continuously and diligently pursues and completes such cure; (iii)failure of Licensee to abide by
the Interference provisions as set forth in Section 11; (iv) intentionally deleted; (v) Licensee shall become
bankrupt, insolvent or file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, have an involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed

assignment for such purposes for the benefit of creditors; (vi)this Agreement or Licensee's interest herein
or Licensee's interest in the Tower Facility are executed upon or attached; (vii) Licensee commits or fails
to perform an act which results in a default under or nonconformance with the Ground Lease by Licensor
and the same shall not be cured within 5 Business Days (or such shorter time as permitted under the
Ground Lease to cure) of the date following written notice to Licensee from Licensor, or its designee, of
such default; or (viii) the imposition of any lien on the Approved Equipment except as may be expressly
authorized by this Agreement,or an attempt by Licensee or anyone claiming through Licensee to encumber
Licensor's interest in the Tower Facility, and the same shall not be dismissed or otherwise removed within
ten (10) Business Days of written notice from Licensor to Licensee.
(b) It shall be considered to be a default of this Agreement by Licensor if Licensor shall fail to
observe or perform any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement to be observed or performed by
Licensor, and Licensor shall not remedy such failure within 30 days following written notice from Licensee,
or if such failure is not reasonably susceptible to being remedied within such 30 day period, if Licensor shall
not within such 30 day period commence to remedy such failure and thereafter exercise commercially
reasonable efforts to prosecute such remedy to completion. Upon the occurrence of a Licensor default
under this Agreement, Licensee shall be entitled to pursue any and all legal and equitable rights and
remedies permitted by Applicable Law, subject to the terms and limitations contained in this Agreement.
22. REMEDIES.
In the event of a default or a breach of this Agreement by Licensee and after Licensee's failure to cure the
same within the time allowed Licensee to cure such default, if applicable, then Licensor may, in addition to
all other rights or remedies Licensor may have hereunder at law or in equity, (i) terminate this Agreement
by giving written notice to Licensee, stating the date upon which such termination shall be effective,
accelerating and declaring to be immediately due and payable the then present value of all Monthly License
Fees and other charges or fees which would have otherwise been due Licensor absent a breach of this
Agreement by Licensee, discounted by an annual percentage rate equal to five percent(5%), (ii)terminate
electrical power to the Approved Equipment, and/or (iii) remove the Approved Equipment without being
deemed liable for trespass or conversion and store the same at Licensee's sole cost and expense for a
period of thirty (30) days after which the Approved Equipment, other than Hazardous Materials, will be
deemed conclusively abandoned if not claimed by Licensee. Licensee shall pay all reasonable attorney's
fees, court costs, removal and storage fees (including any damage caused thereby), and other items of
cost reasonably incurred by Licensor in recovering the Monthly License Fee or other fee or charge.
Licensee shall not be permitted to claim the Approved Equipment until Licensor has been reimbursed for
removal and storage fees. Past due amounts under this Agreement will bear interest from the date upon
which the past due amount was due until the date paid at a rate equal to ten percent(10%) per annum, or
at a lower rate if required by law in the state in which this Agreement is to be performed. In addition,
Licensee shall be assessed a late payment fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the then-current Monthly
License Fee for any payment or reimbursement due to Licensor under this Agreement which is overdue by
ten (10) days or more and such fee shall be assessed for each thirty (30) day period thereafter that any
such amount (or portion thereof) remains unpaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both Parties agree that
the aforementioned 10%increases shall not apply if Licensor has made an accounting error where Licensor
later determines that Licensee has made payments in accordance with this Agreement. Both Parties
specifically acknowledge that this section 22 is subject to the "No SetOff' section previously set forth in
section 5(f). All other terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement shall apply to this section 22.
23. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS; PERMITS.

LICENSOR SITE NAME/NUMBER:Castle Hill TX 1/309040
LICENSEE SITE NAME/NUMBER:Castle Hill TX 1/309040
In the event that any governmental permit, approval or authorization required for Licensor's use of,
operation of, or right to license space to Licensee at the Tower Facility is terminated or withdrawn by any
governmental authority or third party as part of any governmental, regulatory, or legal proceeding, Licensor
may terminate this Agreement. Licensee hereby agrees that in the event of a governmental or legal order
requiring the removal of the Approved Equipment from the Tower, the modification of the Tower, or the
removal of the Tower, Licensee shall remove the Approved Equipment promptly, but in no event later than
the date required by such order, at Licensee's sole cost and expense. Licensor shall cooperate with
Licensee in Licensee's efforts to obtain any permits or other approvals that may be necessary for Licensee's
installation and operation of the Approved Equipment, provided that Licensor shall not be required to
expend any funds or undertake any liability or obligation in connection with such cooperation. Licensor may
elect to obtain such required approvals or permits on Licensee's behalf, at Licensee's sole cost and
expense. In no event may Licensee encourage, suggest, participate in or permit the imposition of any
restrictions or additional obligations whatsoever on the Tower Facility or Licensor's current or future use or
ability to license space at the Tower Facility as part of or in exchange for obtaining any such approval or
permit. In the event that Licensee's shelter or cabinets are installed above a third-party or Licensor-owned
shelter or building, Licensee shall be solely responsible for obtaining any required approvals, or permits in
connection with such shelter or cabinet installation, excepting the consent of other users at the Tower
Facility and/or the ground landlord which shall remain the sole responsibility of Licensor where required.
24. REPLACEMENT OF TOWER/RELOCATION OF APPROVED EQUIPMENT.
(a) Replacement of Tower. Licensor may, at its election, replace or rebuild the Tower or a
portion thereof. Such replacement will (i) be at Licensor's sole cost and (ii) not result in an interruption of
Licensee's communications services beyond that which is necessary to replace the existing Tower. If
Licensee, in Licensee's reasonable discretion, cannot operate the Approved Equipment from the existing
Tower during such replacement or rebuild of the Tower, Licensee may establish, at Licensee's sole cost, a
temporary facility on the Tower Facility to provide such services as Licensee deems necessary during any such
construction by Licensor so long as adequate space is then available. The location of such temporary facilities
shall be subject to Licensor's approval. The Monthly License Fee due hereunder shall be abated for any period
during which Licensee is prevented from broadcasting from the existing Tower due to such replacement or
relocation. At the request of either Party, Licensor and Licensee shall enter into an amendment to this
Agreement to clarify the rights of Licensor and Licensee to the new Tower Facility.
(b) Relocation of Approved Equipment. Intentionally deleted.
(c) Tower Removal: If during the term of this Agreement Licensor determines based on
engineering structural standards generally applied to communications towers that the Tower is or has
become structurally unsound such that pursuant to generally accepted industry safety standards the Tower
or a portion thereof must be removed,then,upon ninety(90)days'prior written notice to Licensee, Licensor
may, in its sole discretion either(i) remove the Tower and terminate this Agreement effective as of the date
of such removal, or (ii) modify the Tower and relocate Licensee's Approved Equipment to an alternative
location on the modified Tower. If Licensee and Licensor are not able to agree on an alternative location
on the modified Tower for the installation of Licensee's Approved Equipment within the foregoing ninety
(90)day notice period, then Licensee or Licensor may elect to terminate this Agreement.
25. EMISSIONS.
If antenna power output ("RF Emissions") is presently or hereafter becomes subject to any restrictions
imposed by the FCC or other governmental agency for RF Emissions standards on Maximum Permissible
Exposure("MPE") limits, or if the Tower Facility otherwise becomes subject to federal, state or local rules,
regulations, restrictions or ordinances, Licensee shall comply with Licensor's reasonable requests for
modifications to the Approved Equipment which are reasonably necessary for Licensor to comply with such
limits, rules, regulations, restrictions or ordinances and Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause all other licensees of the Tower Facility to promptly comply. If Licensor requires an engineering
evaluation or other power density study be performed to evaluate RF Emissions compliance with MPE
Page 18 of 35
DocuSign Envelope ID:8403907C-CEFO-4076-B3E5-ABIAF8FO6E25
LICENSOR SITE NAME/NUMBER:Castle Hill TX 1/309040
LICENSEE SITE NAME/NUMBER:Castle Hill TX 1/309040
limits, then all reasonable costs of such an evaluation or study shall be paid proportionately by Licensee
and all other licensees of the Tower within thirty(30)days of Licensor's request therefor. If said study or a
study sponsored by any governmental agency indicates that RF Emissions at the Tower Facility do not
comply with MPE limits,then Licensee and Licensor, each for itself, shall immediately take any and all steps
necessary to ensure that it is individually in compliance with such limits, up to and including cessation of
operation, until a maintenance program or other mitigating measures can be implemented to comply with
MPE and in addition, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all other licensees of the
Tower to take similar steps necessary to ensure that they are individually in compliance with such limits.
26. ENVIRONMENTAL.
Licensee covenants that it will not use, store, dispose,or release any Hazardous Substances on the Tower
Facility in violation of Applicable Law. Licensee agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to
indemnify and save harmless Licensor against any and all Claims, liabilities, causes of action, Damages,
orders,judgments, and clean-up costs arising from Licensee's breach of any of the covenants contained in
this Section 26. The obligations of Licensee to indemnify Licensor pursuant to this Section 26 shall survive
the termination or expiration of this Agreement. If Licensee is unable, due to applicable law, to indemnify
Licensor, Licensee agrees to save Licensor harmless against any and all Claims, liabilities, causes of
action, Damages, orders, judgments, and clean-up costs arising from Licensee's breach of any of the
covenants contained in this Section 26.
27. SUBROGATION.
(a) Waiver. Licensor and Licensee waive all rights against each other and any of their
respective consultants and contractors, agents and employees,for Damages caused by perils to the extent
covered by the proceeds of the insurance provided herein, except such rights as they may have to the
insurance proceeds. All insurance policies required under this Agreement shall contain a waiver of
subrogation provision under the terms of which the insurance carrier of a Party waives all of such carrier's
rights to proceed against the other Party. Licensee's insurance policies shall provide such waivers of
subrogation by endorsement. Licensee shall require by appropriate agreements, written where legally
required for validity, similar waivers from its contractors and subcontractors. A waiver of subrogation shall
be effective as to a person or entity even though that person or entity would otherwise have a duty of
indemnification, contractual or otherwise, did not pay the insurance premium directly or indirectly, and
whether or not the person or entity had an insurable interest in the property damaged.
(b) Mutual Release. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Licensor
and Licensee each release the other and its respective affiliates, employees and representatives from any
Claims by them or any one claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise for Damage
to any person or to the Tower Facility and to the fixtures, personal property, improvements and alterations
in or on the Tower Facility that are caused by or result from risks insured against under any insurance policy
carried by each and required by this Agreement, provided that such releases shall be effective only if and
to the extent that the same do not diminish or adversely affect the coverage under such insurance policies
and only to the extent of the proceeds received from such policy.
28. GOVERNING LAW.
This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with the laws of the United States and state of Texas, exclusive of conflicts of law's provisions.
Venue for any suit brought under this Agreement shall be in a court of competent jurisdiction in Tarrant
County, Texas. If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable under judicial decree
or decision, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any approval,
consent, decision, or election to be made or given by a Party may be made or given in such Party's sole
judgment and discretion, unless a different standard (such as reasonableness or good faith)is provided for
explicitly.

Tower Facility. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Licensee shall immediately upon the
request of Licensor deliver a release of any instruments of record evidencing such Agreement.

Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties hereto concerning the subject matter herein and
shall supersede all prior offers, negotiations and agreements, whether written or oral. No revision of this
Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both Parties.

of which together shall constitute but one instrument. The Parties agree that a scanned or electronically
