WHEREAS, [***] desires to purchase from Developer, and Developer desires to sell to [***] certain Towers and their related Tower Assets that Developer intends to develop in the Territory (each a “Development Tower”), on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby mutually acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Purchase and Sell; Minimum Number of Development Towers; Term of Agreement.
(a) For a period of [***] commencing as of the Effective Date (the “Term”), and subject to the satisfaction of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Developer agrees to offer up to [***] Development Towers (in the aggregate together with the Colombia Development Towers and the Argentina Development Towers) for sale to [***] in accordance with the procedure described in Section 2 that meet the Minimum Conditions set forth in Exhibit A, and free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens. In the event that [***] (or [***] Colombia or [***]’s applicable affiliate in connection with the Colombia Development Towers or the Argentina Development Towers) approves the development of [***] Development Towers (in the aggregate together with the Colombia Development Towers and the Argentina Development Towers), [***] and Developer (or their respective affiliates) could mutually agree to amend this Agreement, the Colombia Development Agreement, and/or the Argentina Development Agreement to contemplate the development and acquisition of an additional [***] Towers.
(b) The Term may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties to be confirmed in writing prior to expiration of the Term then in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, if [***] has approved its intention to purchase any Development Tower during the Term, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue to apply through Closing (and any related post-Closing obligations) related to such Development Tower(s) but neither Party shall have continuing obligations related to any potential Development Tower(s) not identified by Developer and/or approved by [***].
2. Identification; Purchase Price; Payments; Closing.
(a) (i) Identification and Acceptance of Sites for Development Towers. During the Term, Developer shall identify each communications site (each a “Site”) on which it proposes to develop a future Tower in the Territory and which, in Developer’s sole discretion, it wishes to present to [***], by delivering to [***] detailed information in a form of a Search Ring or Site Acquisition Map in the form acceptable to the prospective Tenant. [***] shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt from Developer of a Search Ring or Site Acquisition Map to determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not to accept the Site as a “Development Tower” for the sale to [***] under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement. Any failure to respond by [***] during such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to be a rejection of the Site as a Development Tower. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, only those sites presented by Developer to [***] and accepted by [***] in accordance with this Section 2(a)(i) shall be “Development Towers” for purposes of this Agreement.
(ii) Ground Lease Option or Usufruct. For each Site that is accepted as a “Development Tower” pursuant to Section 2(a)(i), Developer shall provide to [***], as soon as practicable, the proposed Ground Lease Option applicable to such Site substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit 2(a)(ii) hereto. If the terms of the proposed Ground Lease Option are satisfactory to [***], [***] will purchase the Development Tower (and the related Tower Assets and Site) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Asset Purchase Agreement. If the terms of the proposed Ground Lease Option are not satisfactory to [***], [***] shall have the right to reject such Site as a Development Tower upon written notice to Developer within five (5) Business Days and upon receipt of such written notice, neither Party shall have any further obligations to the other Party under this Agreement with respect to such Site and such Site shall not be deemed to be a Development Tower for purposes of this Agreement (the failure of [***] to deliver written notice within such time frame shall be deemed [***]’s acceptance of the Ground Lease Option set forth therein).
(iii) ROFO. During the Term, Developer shall not sell, transfer or otherwise convey, or agree to sell, transfer or otherwise convey, except in connection with a joint venture or other financing arrangement to which Developer is a party, all or any portion of a tower (including the related Tower Assets and Site if such tower were a “Development Tower” or an “Acquisition Tower” under this Agreement), or any group of towers or any interest therein, located in the Territory, to any Person unless Developer has first offered to sell, transfer and convey the tower(s) (including the related Tower Assets and Site) to [***] by written notice (the “Sale Notice”). Any tower previously tendered to and rejected
2
by [***] as described in this Agreement (each a “Rejected Tower”) shall be exempt from the terms of this Section 2(a)(iii), provided that such exemption shall not apply if Developer proposes to include any Rejected Tower in an offer to any Person that combines such Rejected Tower with any other tower or group of towers that is subject to this Section 8 (the “Renewed ROFO”). The Sale Notice shall include (A) a description of the proposed tower(s) and (B) the price and other terms and conditions on which it is willing to sell such tower(s). Upon receipt by [***] of the Sale Notice and continuing for twenty (20) days thereafter (the “Exercise Period”), [***] shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) to Developer, to purchase all (but not less than all, except any tower(s) for which Defects are identified during due diligence) of the tower(s) (including the related Tower Assets and Sites) described in the Sale Notice from Developer on terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice. In the event [***] purchases the tower(s) pursuant to this Section 2(a)(iii), the Parties shall negotiate an Asset Purchase Agreement containing at least the same terms and conditions contemplated in the Sale Notice. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, the closing of any purchase of tower(s) shall occur five (5) Business Days after all third-party consents (including governmental approvals) are obtained. As to any tower(s) [***] does not exercise its right to purchase, Developer shall be free, during the [***] period following the Sale Notice (together with any reasonable and bona fide extensions of time required to complete the closing of an agreement made binding during such [***] period), to sell and convey the tower(s) to a bona fide third-party upon the same material terms and conditions available to [***] set forth in the Sale Notice. Any towers (and related Tower Assets and Sites) not sold within such [***] period shall continue to be subject to the requirements of this Section 2(a)(iii).
(b) Purchase Price. The purchase price for each Development Tower that meets the Minimum Conditions (the “Purchase Price”) shall equal the sum of (A) the Allocable Purchase Price, plus (B) any Earn-Out Amounts, if any, payable to Developer in accordance with this Section 2(b). At the Closing of each Development Tower, [***] shall pay an amount (the “Closing Date Payment”) equal to the Allocable Purchase Price minus the total amount of Milestone Payments paid in accordance with Section 2(c) of this Agreement (it being understood that the Fifth Milestone Payment shall not be required to be paid to the Developer until the Closing in accordance with Section 2(c)). The Purchase Price of each Development Tower shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds pursuant to Developer’s wire instructions. Subject to the satisfaction of all terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, the closing (each a “Closing”) of the purchase of a Development Tower will occur on the later of thirty (30) days after (i) the date on which Developer delivers notice to [***] with reasonable supporting documentation that the Fifth Milestone was achieved, or (ii) the date that all Minimum Conditions have been satisfied or previously waived by [***] in writing. The date of a Closing shall be referred to as a “Closing Date.”
