MASTER BUILD TO SUIT LEASE AGREEMENT
------------------------------------
THIS MASTER BUILD TO SUIT LEASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered
into as of the ______ day of November, 1998, by and between Crown Communication
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CROWN"), and Triton PCS Property Company L.L.C.,
a Delaware limited liability company ("TRITON").
RECITALS
--------
CROWN will own, lease or otherwise control real property on which
CROWN will have constructed a wireless communications facility, including an
antenna support structure for the attachment of communications equipment. TRITON
wishes to lease from CROWN certain portions of such real property and the
wireless communications facility for the operation of TRITON's communications
facility. Each location for which TRITON, pursuant to this Agreement, enters
into a lease for a portion of the property and the wireless communications
facility will be referred to individually as a "Site" and collectively as
"Sites".
TRITON is an affiliate of a provider of wireless communications
services which operates networks of wireless communications facilities. CROWN
and TRITON are desirous of establishing terms and conditions that will apply to
the leasing of certain Sites by CROWN to TRITON in the areas described in
Exhibit "A" to this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in
this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, CROWN and TRITON agree as follows:
1. MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT
--------------------------
This Agreement contains the basic terms and conditions upon which each Site
shall be leased by CROWN to TRITON. When the parties agree on the particular
terms for a Site, the parties will execute a completed Site Lease Acknowledgment
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B" ("SLA"). Each executed SLA is deemed
to be a part of this Agreement. The terms and conditions of the SLA will govern
and control if there is a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and
conditions of a SLA and this Agreement. The SLA shall become effective and
become part of this Agreement upon its execution by both CROWN and TRITON. The
parties agree that an SLA shall terminate and have no force and effect if,
despite the reasonable efforts of Crown and Triton, a building permit for the
applicable Site is not issued or the Site Acquisition Package is not delivered
within a reasonable timeframe after the timeframes contemplated by this
Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any other
language in this Agreement to the contrary, TRITON's use of a Site pursuant to
this Agreement does not constitute a conveyance of any interest in real estate
to TRITON. The
5
relationship between CROWN and TRITON is not one of tenancy and no leasehold
interest or other interest in real estate has been or will be created.
2. SITE APPROVAL AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
------------------------------------------
2.1 TRITON'S PROPOSALS
----------------------
TRITON shall make CROWN aware of an opportunity to construct a group of Sites in
the areas identified in Exhibit "A" pursuant to this Agreement by providing
CROWN with a written proposal ("Proposal"), identifying the applicable search
areas for the potential Sites. TRITON and CROWN shall agree within twenty-one
(21) days of the execution of this Agreement upon the schedule to be set forth
on Exhibit "F".
As more fully described herein, CROWN will provide "Site Acquisition Services"
and "Construction Services" for the "A Sites" identified on Exhibit "A" (the "A
Sites") and "Construction Services" for the "B Sites" identified on Exhibit "A"
(the "B Sites"). CROWN will also be providing site development services to
TRITON for approximately 45 Sites pursuant to a Site Development Agreement
executed by the parties on November ____, 1998 (the "SDA"). The parties
expressly agree that if, at anytime during the term of this Agreement, CROWN
notifies TRITON of CROWN's preference to co-locate TRITON on an existing
structure in any of the areas described in Exhibit "A", rather than building a
Site pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then TRITON agrees to co-locate on
such Sites if such Sites meet the requirements of Viable Co-Locate Candidates as
described in Exhibit "C-3, paragraph 5". In the event that the parties mutually
agree, as described in the preceding sentence, then their respective rights and
obligations with respect to such Sites, shall be governed by the SDA and they
shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to such Sites.
2.2 COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; SLA PACKAGE
-------------------------------------
2.2.1 A SITES:
---------------
Upon release of Search Areas CROWN will perform the Site Acquisition Services
set forth in Section 2.4. Thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated building
permit issue date CROWN will deliver a completed SLA to TRITON. Within ten (10)
days of receipt, TRITON will provide a response ( an "SLA Response") consisting
of: (i) return an executed SLA or; (ii) reject the SLA for reasons noted on the
SLA transmittal or; (iii) request an extension of review time as noted on the
SLA transmittal. TRITON shall provide for CROWN's engineering services, after
designation of a Primary Site, an RF site build specification (antenna and cable
size, type, and location information).
2.2.2 B SITES:
---------------
6
Upon TRITON's delivery or anticipated delivery of a Site Acquisition Package to
CROWN, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated building permit
issue date, CROWN will deliver a completed SLA to TRITON. Within ten (10) days
of receipt, TRITON will provide an SLA Response. The "Site Acquisition Package"
shall contain: (i) a ground lease and/or other instruments such as an easement
evidencing CROWN's real estate interest in the Site; (ii) a title abstract;
(iii) a Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") approval; and (iv) a final non-
appealable zoning permit.
TRITON shall provide for CROWN's engineering services, after designation of a
Primary Site, an engineering information package (a "Tech Team Visit Checklist")
that includes: a site survey report, a sketch of the BTS, antenna and cable
locations, existing drawings and surveys (to the extent reasonably possible), a
deed, tax map, zoning map, zoning ordinance, applicable zoning application and
drawing preparation checklists (where they exist), RF site build specifications
(antenna and cable size, type, and location information) and site directions.
2.2.3 A AND B SITES
Upon designation of a "Primary Site", a Viable Candidate selected by TRITON,
CROWN will proceed with all required engineering services including but not
limited to surveys, drawings, geotechnical evaluations and environmental studies
unless otherwise directed by TRITON.
Failure of TRITON to provide CROWN with an SLA Response within ten (10) days
shall be deemed termination by TRITON pursuant to Section 2.4.2.
TRITON recognizes that the successful completion of CROWN's scope of work in
accordance with the schedules set forth in Exhibit "F", for B sites, depends on
the successful completion of Site Acquisition Services provided by independent
contractors engaged by TRITON who are not affiliated with CROWN. TRITON will
cause such contractors to cooperate with CROWN in the sharing information
required for the procurement of building permits included in CROWN's scope of
work.
2.3 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF SITE
----------------------------------
Upon anticipated or actual receipt of the executed SLA, CROWN shall proceed to
perform the Services required by this Agreement by the dates identified in
Exhibit "F".
For the purposes of this Agreement, "Substantial Completion" of a Site and
Improvements is defined as the Site being constructed to TRITON standards (as
set forth in Exhibit "I") and the site being capable of transmitting and
receiving RF signal at it's designed and licensed frequency range without
violating equipment warrantees or any statute, law, or ordinance of any federal,
state, or local agency having jurisdiction. Substantial Completion is evidenced
by receipt and approval by TRITON of a Site Acceptance Package in a form
acceptable to TRITON. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable SLA,
Substantial Completion of a Site and Improvements specifically excludes
installation of TRITON's BTS (which will be performed by independent
7
contractors), the provision of telephone service to TRITON's equipment, but
includes any CROWN service extension required to provide telephone service to
the Site and the utility work set forth in Section 2.4.3.3. The Substantial
Completion date may be extended by reason of an event of "Force Majeure" which
is defined as being any of the following events: delays in delivery of TRITON
provided construction materials, strikes, walk-outs, labor disputes, embargoes,
flood, earthquake, storm, dust storm, lightening, fire and any other weather
conditions that prevent construction (according to the tower construction
industry's standard of prudence), epidemic, acts of God, war, national
emergency, civil disturbance or disobedience, riot, sabotage, terrorism, threats
of sabotage or terrorism, restraint by court order or order of public authority,
and similar occurrences beyond the reasonable control of CROWN, and such non-
performance shall be excused for the period of time any such Force Majeure
causes such non-performance. The Substantial Completion period may also be
extended by mutual agreement of the parties.
2.4 SITE ACQUISITION SERVICES AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
-------------------------------------------------------
Services to be provided by CROWN shall include the Site Acquisition Services and
Construction Services described below:
2.4.1 SITE ACQUISITION SERVICES
-------------------------------
For the A Sites, CROWN will perform the "Site Acquisition Services" more fully
described in Exhibits "C-1", "C-2", "C-3", "C-4", "C-8" and "C-9".
The parties acknowledge that TRITON intends to engage independent third party
contractors not affiliated with CROWN to perform Site Acquisition Services for
the B Sites. TRITON agrees to cause such independent third party contractor to
meet both TRITON's site acquisition standards and the "Crown Site Acquisition
Standards" identified in Exhibit "E", to the extent possible, without delaying
the schedule set forth in Exhibit "F". TRITON further agrees to permit CROWN's
active participation in the candidate review process related to the B Sites
Furthermore, CROWN will reimburse TRITON for the actual site acquisition service
costs incurred for engaging such independent third party contractors up to a
maximum of $30,000 per B Site for which a building permit has been issued.
The parties acknowledge that from time to time during the zoning or building
permitting process, CROWN may want to reasonably continue with a proceeding that
TRITON either is not required to or is not desirous of continuing. In such
event, the parties agree that CROWN may continue to do so at its sole cost, so
long as such continuation by CROWN is not likely to delay the time frame set
forth on Exhibit "F", as determined within TRITON's reasonable discretion.
The parties also acknowledge that CROWN may desire to obtain zoning approval at
greater heights than required by TRITON to accommodate other tenants on the
tower. However, in no event shall CROWN attempt to obtain initial zoning
approval for a tower at such greater height if doing so in any way causes delay
in the approval of any permits required for TRITON's Improvements.
8
2.4.2 TERMINATION BY TRITON
---------------------------
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, TRITON has the right of
termination of any Site or SLA at any time prior to the issuance of a building
permit for such Site by providing written notice of the same to CROWN. If CROWN
has not completed Services in accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit
"F" or the maximum average cycle times identified in Exhibit "F-2", and such
failure was not caused by TRITON or TRITON's contractor, CROWN will not be
compensated for the work performed prior to such Site termination and TRITON
shall have no further obligation hereunder with respect to such Site. In the
event of any termination without cause, TRITON shall pay to CROWN a termination
fee according to the schedule set forth in Exhibit "G" and shall have no further
obligations hereunder with respect to such Site. TRITON expressly agrees that it
shall have no right to terminate this Agreement with respect to a Site at any
time after CROWN commences construction on such Site, unless CROWN materially
breaches under this Agreement. TRITON may terminate this Agreement and any or
all SLAs executed in connection herewith upon executing an agreement with CROWN
to sell CROWN any communications tower owned by TRITON. Such termination upon
sale shall not apply to Sites for which a construction permit has been granted
and which is currently under construction.
2.4.3 CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
---------------------------
The services to be provided by CROWN as identified below in Sections 2.4.3.1
through 2.4.3.4 shall be referred to as the "Construction Services" more fully

2.5.2 CHANGES TO CONTRACT SCOPE.
-------------------------
TRITON may make changes at any time to the general scope of the Services
contained herein only by means of a written order (a "Change Order") issued by
CROWN and approved by TRITON. Any Change Order that exceeds the scope of
Services and which requires additional services on the part of CROWN shall
result in an adjustment of the price to be paid to CROWN. CROWN shall, upon
receipt of a written request for a Change Order from TRITON, provide TRITON with
an estimate of additional charges required to complete the proposed Change
Order. Prior to commencement of additional work, the proposed Change Order shall
be approved in writing by a TRITON representative. Any charges for additional
work commenced by CROWN without a written Change Order approved by a TRITON
representative may be denied by TRITON, in full or in part, in its sole
discretion.
2.5.3 SCHEDULE
---------------
Within 21 days after execution of this Agreement, TRITON and CROWN shall agree
upon the schedule for the completion of Services on a site-by-site basis which
will replace Exhibit "F" to this Agreement. The schedule will contain milestone
dates for completion by CROWN of the following milestones: Site Selection, Site
Leasing and Site Zoning for A Sites, and Building Permit, Construction Start and
Construction Complete (Substantial Completion) for A and B sites. This Agreement
shall terminate upon notice by either party to the other if the parties are
unable, after good faith negotiations, to agree to a schedule within the
allotted 21 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CROWN agrees to proceed working
under this Agreement, including deploying necessary personnel, immediately after
execution of this Agreement as set forth in Exhibits "H" and "H-1".
After the schedule in Exhibit "F" is submitted by CROWN and accepted by TRITON,
CROWN may be awarded schedule extensions for impacts by TRITON or TRITON's
contractors upon written notification to TRITON, subject to TRITON's
verification. Such schedule extensions shall be awarded for each day of notified
and verified impact.
Following approval of the schedule by TRITON, CROWN shall thereafter, for the
term of this Agreement, provide TRITON with not less than a written weekly
report outlining the progress made to attain the previously-agreed to schedule,
which reports must include the information required by Exhibit "C-12".
Any proposed change in schedule which results in a time extension of one week or
greater on an individual Site basis shall be clearly noted and the reasons
therefore shall be explained in writing. TRITON may, in its sole discretion,
agree to a time extension from the detailed schedule originally provided. CROWN
shall attend all project meetings reasonably requested by TRITON. CROWN further
agrees to the maximum average cycle times set forth in Exhibit "F-2".

(REMAINDER OF PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK)
2.5.4 RESOURCES
----------------
TRITON has the right at any time upon written notice to require the removal of
any employee of CROWN or subcontractor utilized or supervised by CROWN in
TRITON's sole discretion. Resumes will be provided for review and approval prior
to CROWN's employees starting work on this project. CROWN will not add or remove
any personnel once assigned to the project and accepted by TRITON without prior
written agreement with TRITON. CROWN will use the necessary quantity and quality
of resources to maintain the agreed upon schedule set forth in Exhibit "F".
2.5.5 CONTRACT CLOSEOUT
------------------------
Prior to submitting a final invoice for payment for any Site, CROWN must provide
to TRITON the documentation set forth on Exhibit "C-14".
3. CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS
--------------------------------
At the time each SLA is executed, the Site described in the SLA will be
undeveloped real estate. In accordance with Sections 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 above,
CROWN will provide the Site Acquisition Services and the Construction Services
to TRITON. To enable TRITON to use the Site as a communications facility, CROWN
further agrees to substantially complete construction on each Site the
improvements described in Exhibit "D" (the "Improvements") on or before the
Substantial Completion date specified in Exhibit "F" for that Site. The timely
Substantial Completion of the Improvements is of the essence in this Agreement
and the SLA and, by execution of the SLA, CROWN confirms that the Substantial
Completion date is a reasonable period for the completion of the Improvements.
Construction of the Improvements will be completed (a) in a good and workmanlike
manner; (b) in accordance with all applicable governmental laws, codes, rules
and regulations; and (c) in accordance with the building plans. CROWN agrees
that it will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any permits, zoning
approvals, variances or similar governmental requirements or approvals necessary
for the construction and operation of a wireless communications facility at the
Site, excluding, however, any FCC or other licenses related specifically to
TRITON's operations ("Government Approvals"). TRITON shall cooperate with CROWN
in obtaining Government Approvals, including acting as applicant, if necessary,
and executing documents reasonably needed to obtain the Government Approvals.
The parties agree that CROWN shall not be responsible for installing TRITON's
"BTS".
12
4. SITE USE
------------
A Site may be used by TRITON only for the installation, operation and
maintenance of unmanned radio communications equipment consistent with the terms
of the SLA. TRITON must, at TRITON's sole expense, comply with all laws, orders,
ordinances, regulations and directives of applicable federal, state, county and
municipal authorities or regulatory agencies including, without limitation, the
Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"). TRITON shall operate and maintain
its equipment within its licensed frequency and power such that it does not
interfere with the operations at the communications facility or any other prior
existing users of the communications facility. CROWN agrees to cooperate with
TRITON, at TRITON's expense, in executing such documents or applications
required in order for TRITON to obtain such licenses, permits or other
Governmental Approvals needed for TRITON's permitted use of the Site.
5. TERM
--------
5.1 TERM OF AGREEMENT
---------------------
The term of this Agreement shall be twelve (12) years commencing on the date
first written above.
5.2 TERM OF SLA
---------------
Each Site leased by CROWN to TRITON pursuant to a SLA shall be leased for an
initial term of twelve (12) years with the commencement date as of the date of
full execution of the particular SLA ("Commencement Date"). The term of each
particular SLA shall automatically be extended for up to three (3) additional
five (5) year terms unless TRITON terminates it at the end of the then current
term by giving CROWN written notice of the intent to terminate at least six (6)
months prior to the end of the then current term. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if CROWN's rights in the Site are derived from a prime lease or other agreement
with a third party ("Prime Lease") and such Prime Lease has a shorter term or

the lien by either paying the amount claimed to be due or obtaining the
discharge by deposit with a court or a title company or by bonding. TRITON must
pay on demand any amount paid by CROWN for the discharge or satisfaction of any

-----------------------------------
15
CROWN represents and warrants with respect to each Site that, upon Substantial
Completion of the Site and the Improvements for a period of one year thereafter,
such Site and Improvements will be in good operating condition, suitable for
their intended purpose. The foregoing representation and warranty shall not
extend to any materials or equipment provided by TRITON or for services properly
performed by CROWN within the stricter of CROWN, TRITON, and Ericsson standards
described herein or any applicable codes, statutes ordinances, regulations or
other requirements of any government unit or authority having jurisdiction.
10. SITE ALTERATIONS
---------------------
10.1 APPROVED SITE
------------------
TRITON has the right to erect, maintain, replace and operate at the Site only
that communications equipment specified on the SLA. It is understood that TRITON
shall have the right at each and every Site, subject to compliance with the
terms of this Agreement and particularly those set forth in this Section, to
replace the equipment described in a SLA with similar and comparable equipment
so long as: (a) there is no greater wind loading, structural loading, size,
weight or height; and (b) the equipment operates at the frequency or range of
frequencies designated in the applicable SLA, or at the frequency or range of
frequencies identified in TRITON's current FCC licensee or successor licensee
thereto, for the transmission of wireless communications signals at that given
Site. It is understood that any such replacement equipment must be frequency
compatible with then existing uses of the Site. Prior to commencing any material
alteration at a Site and prior to accessing the communications tower structure
for any reason whatsoever, TRITON must obtain CROWN's approval of:
(a) TRITON's plans for material alteration work; and
(b) the contractor performing the material alteration or in any way
accessing the tower structure itself.
CROWN's approval must not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All
of TRITON's alteration work must be performed:
(a) at TRITON's sole cost and expense;
(b) in a good and workmanlike manner, using the care and skill
ordinarily used by members of the profession practicing under
similar conditions at the same time and in the same geographic
area;
(c) in accordance with applicable building codes and with the
provisions of Exhibit "I"; and
16
(d) must not adversely affect the structural integrity or maintenance
of the Site or any structure on or use of the Site.
Any alterations to a structure at the Site must be designed, at TRITON's sole
cost and expense, by a structural engineer licensed in the jurisdiction where
the Site is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any structural
alterations of the communications facility, such structural engineer must be
approved by CROWN which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. For structural alterations requiring a municipal permit, the
structural engineer must be satisfactory to the local municipality.
Following the initial installation at a Site, any installation, maintenance,
material alteration or removal of equipment at a Site by TRITON and any
activities whatsoever requiring access to a tower structure, must be performed
by a contractor reasonably acceptable to CROWN (which acceptance may
specifically include a requirement that all such contractors provide to CROWN,
in advance of any such work, certificates of insurance consistent with the
provisions of this Agreement). CROWN's consent thereto shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Said erection, maintenance, replacement and operation will in no way damage or
mechanically interfere with CROWN's use of or any operations at the
communications facility. If damage or mechanical interference is caused by
TRITON and TRITON fails to make such repairs immediately after notice by CROWN,
CROWN may make the repairs and the reasonable costs thereof shall be payable to
CROWN by TRITON upon written notice. If TRITON does not make payment to CROWN
within thirty (30) days after such notice, CROWN shall have the right to
immediately terminate the applicable SLA. No materials may be used in the
installation of the antennas or transmission lines that will cause corrosion or
rust or deterioration of the tower structure or its appurtenances.
11. UTILITIES
--------------
TRITON acknowledges that CROWN's obligation as to utility service is indicated
above in Section 2.4.3.3. TRITON has the right, at TRITON's sole cost and
expense, to obtain electrical and telephone service to TRITON's equipment at the
Site subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any limitations
contained in underlying real estate interests, including the Prime Lease. TRITON
understands and acknowledges that:
(a) the Site includes such non-exclusive easements as necessary to
enable TRITON to connect utility wires, cables, fibers and
conduits to its equipment; and
(b) CROWN does have the right to approve the route and the manner of
installation which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
17
12. ACCESS
-----------
TRITON shall have free access during the term of a SLA to the Site twenty-four
(24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week. TRITON acknowledges that the
foregoing access rights are subject to any restrictions identified in the
underlying real estate interests related to the communications facility,
including but not limited to any restrictions identified in the Prime Lease.
CROWN shall furnish TRITON with necessary devices for the purpose of ingress and
egress to the said Site and communications facility. It is agreed, however, that
only authorized engineers, employees or properly authorized contractors of
TRITON or persons under their direct supervision will be permitted to enter said
Site. TRITON will retain ownership of all buildings, equipment and appurtenances
TRITON installs at any Site; provided, however, that the removal of said
equipment will not adversely affect the integrity of any structures.

recordable Memorandum of Lease for the Site described in the SLA. CROWN, at its
sole expense, shall record the Memorandum of Lease in the land records of the
recording office(s) responsible for notice purposes.

industry standards.
14.4 INSURANCE RATING
---------------------
All insurers will be rated A-IX(9) or better and must be licensed to do business
in the jurisdiction where the respective Sites are located. The provision of
insurance required in this Agreement shall not be construed to limit or

19
The parties hereby waive any and all rights of action for negligence against the
other which may hereafter arise on account of damages to the premises or Site

-------------------------
This Agreement may not be sold, assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by
TRITON without prior approval or consent of CROWN (such approval and consent not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided, however, that,
notwithstanding anything to the
20
contrary contained herein, TRITON may sell, assign or transfer this Agreement or
any SLA without the written approval or consent of CROWN to (i) any affiliate of
TRITON or (ii) any person or entity that acquires, through merger, purchase or
otherwise, all or substantially all of the assets of TRITON. Additionally,
TRITON may, upon notice to CROWN, mortgage or grant a security interest in this
Agreement and TRITON's equipment, and may assign this Agreement and such
equipment to any such mortgagees or holders of security interests including
their successors or assigns (hereinafter collectively referred to as
"Mortgagees"). In such event, CROWN shall execute such consent to leasehold
financing as may reasonably be required by Mortgagees.
16.2 ASSIGNMENT BY CROWN
------------------------
This Agreement may not be sold, assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by
CROWN without prior approval or consent of TRITON, which consent may not be
unreasonably witheld, conditioned or delayed. Furthermore, CROWN may assign its
interest herein without TRITON's approval once all sites under this agreement
are accepted by TRITON. Without limiting the foregoing, TRITON acknowledges that
CROWN intends to assign its rights and obligations with respect as to Site
Acquisition Services, Construction Services and any services related to the
Improvements to its wholly-owned subsidiary Crown Network Systems, Inc., a
Pennsylvania corporation. Additionally, CROWN may, upon notice to TRITON,
mortgage or grant a security interest in this Agreement or any of its assets
related to this Agreement, and may assign this Agreement and such assets to any
such mortgagees or holders of security interests including their successors and
assigns (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Mortgagees"). In such event,
TRITON shall execute such consent to leasehold financing as may reasonably be
required by Mortgagees.
17. CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION
-----------------------------
17.1 CASUALTY
-------------
If there is a casualty to any structure upon which a TRITON communications
facility is located, CROWN must within forty-five (45) days repair or restore
the structure. During said period of repair or restoration, fees identified in
this Agreement applicable to that Site shall be abated. Upon completion of such
repair or restoration, TRITON is entitled to reinstall TRITON's communications
equipment. In the event such repairs or restoration will reasonably require more
than forty-five (45) days to complete, TRITON is entitled to terminate the
applicable SLA upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, TRITON may elect to pursue on its own, or through CROWN, an alternate
Site if such Site can be constructed in a shorter timeframe as reasonably
determined by TRITON.
21
17.2 CONDEMNATION
-----------------
If there is a condemnation of the Site, including without limitation a transfer
of the Site by consensual deed in lieu of condemnation, then the SLA for the
condemned Site will terminate upon transfer of title to the condemning
authority, without further liability to either party under this Agreement.
TRITON is entitled to pursue a separate condemnation award for TRITON's
communications equipment from the condemning authority.
18. SURRENDER OF SITE
----------------------
TRITON, upon termination of the Agreement or the applicable SLA, shall have
removed its equipment, personal property and all fixtures and have restored the
Site to its original condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If such time
for removal causes TRITON to remain on the Site after termination of this
Agreement or the applicable SLA, the annual fee shall be increased to one and
one-half times the then existing annual fee until such time as the removal of
all equipment is completed. Nothing in this provision shall be construed as
providing TRITON the right to hold over and CROWN, immediately upon the
termination or expiration of the Agreement or the applicable SLA, shall have the
right to remove TRITON from the Site.
19. INTERFERENCE
-----------------
TRITON agrees to have installed transmitting and receiving equipment of the
type, power and frequency consistent with its licenses. In the event TRITON'S
equipment fails to operate within such licensed power or frequency, and causes
interference, TRITON will take steps customary and reasonably necessary within
48 hours to eliminate such interference in a timely manner. CROWN agrees that
any future users of the Site who take possession after the date of execution of
any SLA will have properly installed transmitting and receiving equipment of the
type and frequency which will not cause interference to TRITON as defined by the
FCC. This provision shall not apply to test periods where the source of the
interference is being determined for purposes of suppression. IN THE EVENT THAT
ANY DEVICES INSTALLED ON A SITE AFTER THE DATE OF TRITON'S INSTALLATION AT SUCH
SITE, BY ANY AUTHORIZED USER SHALL INTERFERE WITH TRITON'S TRANSMISSION OR
RECEPTION, CROWN SHALL CAUSE THE INTERFERENCE TO BE ELIMINATED AS SOON AS
REASONABLY POSSIBLE AT NO COST TO TRITON. In the event such interference to
TRITON caused by a future user on a site is not analyzed with corrections
initiated within 48 hours, and does not cease within a reasonable period, the
parties acknowledge that continuing interference will cause irreparable injury
to TRITON and TRITON shall have the right, in addition to any other rights that
it may have at law or equity, to bring action to enjoin the interference or to
terminate the applicable SLA.

period will be extended as reasonably necessary to permit CROWN to complete the
cure so long as CROWN commences the cure within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter continuously and diligently pursues and completes such cure, TRITON
may, at TRITON's option and upon written notice:
(a) terminate the applicable SLA; or
(b) incur any expense reasonably necessary to perform the obligation
of CROWN specified in such notice and invoice CROWN for the
actual expenses, together with interest as set forth herein from
the date named. (Any invoice shall be accompanied by
documentation reasonably detailing actual expenses. If CROWN

of written notice, then TRITON is entitled to offset and deduct
such expenses from the fees or other charges next becoming due
under any SLA.)
TRITON agrees to forego seeking any consequential damages.

--------------------------------
CROWN covenants and warrants to TRITON that TRITON, upon the payment of all fees
and performance of all the material terms, covenants and conditions under this
Agreement, will have, hold and enjoy each Site leased under a SLA during the

-----------------------------------------------
1.1.1. Schedule: All Phase I shall be completed within ten (10)
business days from "Notice to Proceed".
1.1.2. The purpose of a Phase I ESA is to identify and define
recognized environmental conditions within the range of
contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum
products. As such, the Phase I ESA satisfies one of the
requirements to qualify for the innocent Company defense to
CERCLA liability: that is, the practices that constitute "all
appropriate inquiry into the previous Ownership and uses of the
property consistent with good commercial or customary practice,"
as defined in 42 USC 9601(35)(B). The ESAs will be conducted in
accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) Standard: E 1527-94 Practice for Environmental Site
Assessments for Commercial Real Estate, and will consist of four
components: records review, site reconnaissance, interviews, and
a Phase I report. In addition, the Federal Communication
Commission's (FCC) checklist for the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) will be completed as part of the Phase I ESA
report. Each of the Phase I ESA components is discussed in the
following subsections.
1.1.3. Records Review
1.1.3.1. The record review will include a review of environmental
databases, physical setting sources, and historical use
information. The environmental database search will
include both federal and state databases to ASTM-specified
radii of the site. Databases will include the National
Priorities List; the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS);
Resource Conservation and Recovery Information System
(RCRIS) treatment, storage and disposal facilities and
generators; Emergency Response Notification System; state
list of hazardous waste sites; state landfill and/or solid
waste disposal sites; state leaking underground storage
tank sites (USTs); and state registered USTS. A current
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute topographic map
will be obtained for the area in which the property is
55
located to evaluate the physical setting. USGS or state
ground water and geological maps may be obtained in some
instances to provide further information. Historical use
information will be obtained from the present to the
property's first developed use or to 1940, whichever is
earlier. Historical sources to be reviewed may include
aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, property tax
files, recorded land title records, USGS maps, local
street directories, building department records, and
zoning and land use records. In addition, records will be
reviewed to determine designated wilderness areas or
preserve, threatened or endangered species, Indian
religious sites, flood plains, wetlands, and zoning for
high intensity white lights under the National
Environmental Policy Act.
1.1.4. Site Reconnaissance
1.1.4.1. A site reconnaissance will be conducted to obtain
information indicating the likelihood of identifying
recognized environmental conditions in connection with the
property. An environmental professional will visit the
site and visually and physically observe the property and
any structures on the property. The interiors of any
structures will be inspected. The methodology used and any
limitations to the observations will be documented. Uses
and conditions to be evaluated include current and past
use of the property and adjoining properties and
surrounding area; geologic, hydrogeologic, hydrologic, and
topographic conditions; structures; roads; potable water
supply; sewage disposal; hazardous substances to include
asbestos and petroleum products; storage tanks; odors;
pools of liquid; drums; containers; polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs); heating/cooling; stains or corrosion;
drains and sumps; pits, ponds, or lagoons; stained soil or
pavement; stressed vegetation; solid waste; waste water;
xxxxx; and septic systems. In addition, threatened or
endangered species, and wetlands will be identified during
the site reconnaissance.
1.1.5. Interviews
1.1.5.1. An environmental professional will conduct interviews with
the property owner and occupants and local government
officials to obtain information indicating recognized
environmental conditions in connection with the property.
The information sought during the interviews will be the
same as the uses and conditions to be observed during the
site reconnaissance. The transaction screen questionnaire
in ASTM Standard E 1528-93 Environmental Site Assessments:
Transaction Screen Process will be used during the
interviews. Prior to the site visit the property owner,
site manager, or user will be contacted to obtain any
helpful documents, such as environmental audit reports,
environmental permits, registrations for
56
storage tanks, hydrogeological or geotechnical studies,
etc. Local agency officials to be contacted may include
the fire department, public health department, etc.
