Amendment, dated as of October 3, 2002, by and among SpectraSite
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and the parties set

Agreement to remove the requirement that holders of Restricted Stock or
Management Stock sell their securities through a common broker under certain
circumstances; and

Company and holders of at least 60% of the voting power of the Restricted Stock
and Management Stock outstanding; and
WHEREAS, the parties to this Amendment constitute at least 60% of the
voting power of the Restricted Stock and Management Stock outstanding.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Amendment of Section 3. Section 3 of the Registration Rights
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the second paragraph thereof in its
entirety.
2. Continuing Effect of Registration Rights Agreement. This Amendment
shall not constitute an amendment or modification of any other provision of the
Registration Rights Agreement not expressly referred to herein. Except as
expressly amended or modified herein, the provisions of the Registration Rights
Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect.
3. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the
parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts and all such counterparts
shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. Each party hereto confirms
that any facsimile copy of such party's executed counterpart of this Amendment
(or its signature page thereof) shall be deemed to be an executed original
thereof.

4. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles
of conflicts of law of such state.
