EXHIBIT 2.2
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
BY AND AMONG
AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION,
ATI MERGER CORPORATION,
AND UNISITE, INC.
This Amendment No. 1 ("First Amendment"), effective as of November 30,
1999, is to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among American Tower
Corporation ("ATC"), ATI Merger Corporation ("ATI"), and UniSite, Inc.
("UniSite"), dated June 28, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement").
BACKGROUND
With the approval of ATC, UniSite entered into a letter agreement, dated
September 23, 1999, whereby the Wireless Communications Site Services Agreement,
dated July 31, 1996, among GTE Mobilnet Incorporated, GTE Mobile Communications
Incorporated, Contel Cellular Inc., and UniSite, Inc. (the "GTE Agreement") was
terminated effective August 7, 1999 (the "Settlement Agreement"). UniSite will
receive a lump sum payment of $5.0 million pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.
ATC has agreed that UniSite may use in its operations before the closing of the
Merger Agreement, the $5.0 million that UniSite receives under the Settlement
Agreement. The parties desire to adjust the Merger Consideration (as defined in
the Merger Agreement) to reflect the termination of the GTE Agreement and
UniSite's use of the $5.0 million that it will receive under the Settlement
Agreement.
UniSite intends to enter into agreements with each holder of options to
purchase UniSite common stock, par value $.01 per share, for the surrender of
such options in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment from UniSite.
Because UniSite may be unable to obtain surrender agreements from all holders of
options to purchase UniSite common stock, the parties desire to amend the Merger
Agreement to provide that any options to purchase UniSite common stock that are
issued and outstanding immediately before the effectiveness of the merger will
be converted into the right to receive a cash payment from UniSite.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this
First Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby
agree as follows:
1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this First
Amendment shall have the meaning given to them in the Merger Agreement.
2. Amendment of the Merger Agreement.
(a) The Merger Agreement is amended as follows:
(i) The definition of "Working Capital" contained in Appendix A
to the Merger Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"Working Capital" shall mean, with respect to UniSite, the amount by
which the current assets of UniSite and its Subsidiaries exceed (or
are less than) the current liabilities (other than the principal
amount of Indebtedness for Money Borrowed) of UniSite and its
Subsidiaries, as determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently
applied with the UniSite Financial Statements, except as hereinafter
specifically set forth; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing:
(a) current assets shall be increased by an amount equal to the sum
of:
(i) Tower Construction Costs actually paid by UniSite with
respect to Towers Under Construction;
(ii) funds actually paid to (x) CSFB for acting as financial
adviser to UniSite with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement, (y) Fleet, for acting as financial adviser to UniSite in
connection with its sale of high-yield debt securities in an amount

costs and expenses;
(iii) funds actually paid with respect to all severance, accrued
vacation or other benefits payable to terminated UniSite Employees as
a result of the Merger (other than those paid pursuant to the plan
referred to in Section 6.14) to the extent they do not, together with
amounts accrued under clause (b)(i)(z) following, exceed $2,000,000;
and
(iv) funds actually paid by UniSite subsequent to the date of
this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time for Environmental
Reports and Structural Reports on Completed Towers.

to the Effective Time for Environmental Reports and Structural Reports
on Completed Towers;
(w) in respect of Tower Construction Costs with respect to Towers
Under Construction;
(x) subsequent to the date of this Agreement in respect of
acquisitions of towers (so long as such acquisitions were approved by
ATC in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.6);
(y) in respect of (I) CSFB for acting as financial adviser as
described above, and (II) Fleet, for acting as financial adviser as
described above in an amount not in excess of $500,000 (less any

immediately preceding), together with, without duplication,
reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses; and
(z) in respect of all severance, accrued vacation or other benefits payable to
terminated UniSite Employees (other than those paid pursuant to the plan
referred to in Section 6.14) to the extent they do not , together with
amounts paid under clause (a) (iii) above, exceed $2,000,000; and
(ii) included in current liabilities an accrual with respect to
the full amount of all costs and expenses required to be borne by
UniSite pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including
without limitation (w) those referred to in Section 10.2 (except
amounts paid under clause (a)(iv) or excluded under clause (b)(i)(v)
above), (x) all severance, accrued vacation or other benefits paid or
payable (other than with respect to the plan referred to in Section
6.14) to all terminated UniSite Employees in excess of $2,000,000,
whether or not required by GAAP (it being understood that reserves
will be established for any such obligation not accounted for as a
liability), (y) all benefits payable pursuant to the plan referred to
in Section 6.14 (it being understood that reserves will be established
for any such obligation not accounted for as a liability); and (z) all
amounts payable to holders of UniSite Stock Options referred to in
Section 3.4; provided, however, that it is understood, and ATC hereby
agrees, that the Surviving Corporation shall be responsible for
amounts payable to (I) CSFB for acting as a financial adviser as
described above, and (II) Fleet, for acting as financial
adviser as described above in an amount not in excess of $500,000
together with reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses, and (B)
all severance benefits, accrued vacation or other benefits payable to
terminated UniSite Employees (other than those paid pursuant to the
plan referred to in Section 6.14) to the extent they do not, together
with amounts paid under clause (a)(iii) above or excluded under clause
(b)(i)(z) above, exceed $2,000,000.
(c) There shall be deducted from current assets an amount equal to $5
million, which was the amount received by UniSite in connection with the
termination of the GTE Management Agreement."
(ii) The definition section contained in Appendix A to the Merger
Agreement is amended by adding the following definition:
"UniSite Stock Options" shall mean the options to purchase
UniSite Common Stock.
(iii) Section 3.4 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"Option Securities and Convertible Securities; Payment Rights.
At the Effective Time, each outstanding Option Security and each
Convertible Security of UniSite (except a UniSite Warrant or a
Convertible Security or an Option Security owned by a Subsidiary
of UniSite), if any, whether or not then exercisable for or
convertible into shares of UniSite Common Stock or other UniSite
securities, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time,
shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and
certificates and agreements previously evidencing such Option
Securities and Convertible Securities shall thereafter represent
the right to receive a cash payment from UniSite equal to the
amount of Merger Consideration payable per share of UniSite
Common Stock less the exercise price of such Option Security or
Convertible Security, as the case may be, at the Effective Time.
(iv) Section 6.6(d) is amended by adding the words "(other than
UniSite Stock Options)," after the words "Convertible Securities or
Option Securities" in line 5.
(b) If the parties subsequently prepare an amended and restated Merger
Agreement and a conflict occurs between this First Amendment and
any amended and restated Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement, as amended by
this First Amendment and any subsequent amendments, shall
control.
3. Ratification. All of the terms of the Merger Agreement, as hereby
amended, are ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.
4. Waiver of Rights; Release of Obligations; Consent. ATC and ATI each
hereby waives any rights and releases UniSite from the observance of any term of
the Merger Agreement that may, directly or indirectly, be breached, violated, or

contemplated thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, ATC hereby consents to
UniSite's termination of the GTE Agreement pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations
under, this First Amendment.

unenforceable, in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
not affect any otherwise valid provision, and all other valid provisions shall
remain in full force and effect.
(b) This First Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, which
taken together shall constitute one and the same document. Facsimile signatures
on this First Amendment are acceptable in lieu of originals.

or communications among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof,
and contains the complete and exclusive expression of the understandings among
the parties. This First Amendment cannot be amended, modified, or supplemented
in any respect except by a subsequent written agreement entered into by the
parties hereto.
(d) This First Amendment will be governed by, and will be construed
according to the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict or
