(a) TowerCo grants the Operator access to the Sites and Facilities to exercise certain co-location rights;
(b) the Operator may occupy and use capacity at the Sites and Facilities; and
(c) TowerCo will provide certain services to the Operator at the Sites,
to support the Operator’s Business. |
It is agreed as follows.
1. | Definitions and Interpretation |
Capitalised terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set out in Schedule 5 (Definitions and Interpretation). The interpretation provisions set out in Schedule 5 (Definitions and Interpretation) apply to this Agreement.
Page 5
2. | Term of Agreement and Site Licences |
2.1 | Agreement |
This Agreement commences on the Commencement Date and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement, continues until the final expiry date of the longest term of any lease, licence or other right of access, occupation and use that the Operator has in respect of any of the Facilities at the Sites the subject of a Site Licence (the Term).
2.2 | Site Licences |
(a) | The term of each Site Licence shall be 12 years from the date of execution of the relevant Site Licence, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement and the relevant Site Licence (the Initial Term). |
(b) | At the expiry of the Initial Term of any Site Licence the Operator may, at its sole option, by giving at least 6 months’ prior notice to TowerCo, either: |
(i) | extend a Site Licence for a subsequent term of 6 years (the Renewal Site Term), on the same terms and conditions except that the Lease Fee payable in any Renewal Site Term will equal 90% of the Lease Fee that was payable as at the date of expiry of the Initial Term of that Site Licence; or |
(ii) | exercise the Bargain Purchase Option in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 4 (Bargain Purchase Option), in which case the parties must take all steps necessary to give effect to the Bargain Purchase Option upon expiry of the term of the relevant Site Licence. |
3. | Reserved Capacity and Additional Capacity |
3.1 | Reserved Capacity |
(a) | TowerCo grants to the Operator an exclusive right to use the Reserved Capacity identified in the relevant Site Licences on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement and the relevant Site Licences. |
(b) | TowerCo may agree to a third party installing or readjusting its Equipment on or in that part of a Facility not located within the Reserved Capacity (and any agreed Additional Capacity) identified in the relevant Site Licence provided that the third party’s access and use of the Facility and the relevant Site does not derogate from the Operator’s interest and rights under this Agreement and the relevant Site Licence. |
3.2 | Additional Capacity |
(a) | From time to time the Operator may require capacity at a Facility and/or at a Site which is in addition to the Reserved Capacity (individually or collectively the Additional Capacity). If the Operator wishes to use Additional Capacity, then the Operator will submit to TowerCo an application in the form set out in Schedule 9 (Form of Notice for Change to Operator Equipment). Each application will be considered by TowerCo in accordance with this clause 3.2. |
Page 6
(b) | Subject to clauses 3.2(c) and (d), TowerCo must use its best efforts to make available to the Operator the Additional Capacity within 15 Working Days of receipt of a request from the Operator, on the same terms and conditions as the Reserved Capacity is made available under this Agreement and the Site Licences. If required, this 15 Working Days period may be extended with the agreement of the parties, acting reasonably. The Lease Fee payable in respect of any Additional Capacity shall be payable: |
(i) | in advance for the remainder of the then applicable Lease Fee period of the relevant Site Licence; and |
(ii) | thereafter annually in advance, |
to be calculated as follows:
(iii) | for Operator Equipment installed on Facilities at a Site in excess of the Reserved Capacity: an amount equal to the square meters of antenna/microwave dish surface area x USD[***] per square meter per month x installation height (in meters) of the antenna or microwave centerline (exclusive of value added tax); and |
(iv) | for Operator Equipment installed on the ground at a Site in excess of the Reserved Capacity: an amount equal to the square meters of the ground surface area x USD[***] per square meter per month (exclusive of value added tax). |
(c) | If the requested Additional Capacity is not available on the existing Facilities and/or Sites due to the technical limits of the relevant Facility and/or Site, and if the Operator requests, then the parties will enter into good faith negotiations to agree upon any Make Ready Work, including necessary upgrades, which may include strengthening the relevant Facility or acquiring a lease over additional land, to the extent possible. TowerCo agrees to bear the costs of undertaking any Make Ready Work, such upgrades or obtaining additional land. |
(d) | If after 3 months of receipt of a request from the Operator, and despite TowerCo’s compliance with clauses 3.2(b) and (c), TowerCo remains unable to procure the requested Additional Capacity for the Operator, and provides to the Operator on request sufficient evidence that it is unable to procure such Additional Capacity, then either party may give notice to the other terminating TowerCo’s obligations to procure the requested Additional Capacity. Nothing in this clause 3.2(d) restricts the Operator’s right to request Additional Capacity at any other Facility and/ or Site. |
(e) | If the Operator installs any Operator Equipment outside of the Reserved Capacity then identified in the Site Licence at a Site (Unauthorized Equipment) without notifying TowerCo of such installation, TowerCo may by written notice direct the Operator to remove the Unauthorized Equipment. If the Operator installs Unauthorized Equipment on more than [***]% of the Sites or if the Operator fails to remove Unauthorized Equipment within five (5) Working Days of receipt of a notice from TowerCo directing removal, the Operator shall be deemed to have entered into a twelve (12) year lease for the Unauthorized Equipment at such Site commencing from the Completion Date of the Site (with all past due Lease Fee amounts to be payable within 20 Working Days of receipt of an invoice evidencing such amounts), and the Operator shall during the term of such lease pay [***]% of the Lease Fee applicable to the Additional Capacity attributable to the |
Page 7
Unauthorized Equipment for the term of such lease. The Operator shall also pay immediately and upon demand all costs and expenses incurred by TowerCo in connection with the audit that revealed Lessee’s Unauthorized Equipment. |
4. | Site Licences |
4.1 | Site Licences |
On the Completion Date for a Site, the parties must execute a Site Licence in relation to that Site.
4.2 | Deemed Site Licences |
If no Site Licence is executed by the parties in respect of a Site on the relevant Completion Date, then a Site Licence in the form attached as Annexure A to this Agreement will be deemed to apply as if it had been executed by the parties on the relevant Completion Date and the Lease Fee shall be payable in accordance with clause 7.1 as if the deemed Site Licence had been fully executed.
4.3 | Future Facilities & Future Sites |
If the Operator wishes to access and install Operator Equipment on any Future Facilities on any Future Sites in accordance with the Put and Call Option and/or the Build to Suit Agreement (as the case may be), then the parties must enter into a Site Licence in relation to the Operator’s use of that Future Site. For the purposes of any Site Licence and this Agreement, the space to be available to the Operator on the Future Site will be deemed to be the Reserved Capacity, the Future Site will be deemed to be a Site and the Future Facilities will be deemed to be Facilities.
5. | Access and Use of Facilities and Sites |
(a) | Upon execution of a Site Licence, the Operator and its Personnel have the exclusive right to access, install, operate, maintain, repair, modify, replace, upgrade and remove the Operator Equipment within the Reserved Capacity and any agreed Additional Capacity at the relevant Site, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the relevant Site Licence. |
(b) | The Site and the Facilities may be used by the Operator only to install, operate, maintain, repair, modify, replace, upgrade and remove the Operator Equipment within the Reserved Capacity and any agreed Additional Capacity for the sole purpose of a telecommunications facility and uses incidental thereto in connection with the Operator’s Business. |
(c) | The Operator Equipment shall be and remain the property of the Operator or any member of its Group (as the case may be) notwithstanding that any part or parts thereof may be or become affixed to a Facility or Site. TowerCo acknowledges the rights of the Operator Lenders as set out in clause 26. |
(d) | The Operator may upgrade, add, modify, reposition, adjust or remove Operator Equipment within the Reserved Capacity and any agreed Additional Capacity at the Sites at any time during the term (including any Renewal Site Term) of the applicable Site Licences. These activities will be at no additional rental cost to the Operator beyond the relevant Lease |
Page 8
Fee payable, including any Lease Fee for any Additional Capacity. If required, TowerCo must undertake Make Ready Work, including structurally enhancing the Site to accommodate the Operator’s proposed upgrading, addition, modification, repositioning, adjustment or removal of Operator Equipment, as set out in clause 6. TowerCo acknowledges and agrees that the Operator may upgrade and add Operator Equipment within the Reserved Capacity and any agreed Additional Capacity subject to this clause that includes new and/or additional: |
(i) | antennas and related equipment, including GSM and 3G antennas and dual band antennas for 2G/3G, which shall be located at the same height as the existing three meter vertical space identified in the Site Licence; |
(ii) | Expansion Cabinets for the BTS; |
(iii) | microwave antennas and related equipment, provided that the average number of such antennas is not above 2.5 antennas per Site on average; |
(iv) | backup power equipment (e.g. diesel generator, solar panels, batteries); and |
(v) | additional shelters for transmission Point of Presence (PoP), for example fibre connections, provided that ground space is available and that these are installed at no more than [***] Sites that have been identified by the Operator and notified to TowerCo within 6 months of the Commencement Date (subject to a permitted variation of up to 10% of those [***] Sites after such date). |
(e) | TowerCo acknowledges that the Operator has direct access to an electricity supply at most Sites from Persusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) or other electricity utilities. TowerCo must not do anything to disrupt the electricity supply under those arrangements or otherwise hinder the relationship between the Operator and PLN and/or other utilities. The Operator is responsible for the costs of electricity used in its operations at the Sites at the rate charged by the PLN or other servicing utility company. |
(f) | If the Operator is not able to obtain direct access to a sufficient electricity supply at any Site, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, then TowerCo must, if the Operator requests, provide or procure for the Operator access to a sufficient electricity supply at the Site having the power and other technical specifications reasonably required by the Operator. If there is insufficient electricity supply at a Site, TowerCo must, if the Operator requests, make available the electricity supply from TowerCo’s available generators at the Site. The Operator agrees to pay for the costs of electricity and generators to the extent that these are used in its operations at the Sites, in the case of electricity at the rate charged by the PLN or other servicing utility company. |
(g) | Provided there is available ground space, the Operator may install one emergency gasoline, butane, diesel or other fuel-powered generator at a Site, at the Operator’s sole cost and expense. The Operator covenants that any installation, maintenance and use of such generator shall be in compliance with any applicable Laws enacted or promulgated by any governmental authority or court having jurisdiction over the relevant Site. The Operator is solely responsible for, and shall pay for, all costs associated with the generator. This installation shall be at no additional rental cost to the Operator beyond the Lease Fee. |
Page 9
(h) | The Operator shall provide to TowerCo within one month of the Commencement Date, and from time to time to reflect any changes to the list, a list of those of the Operator’s Personnel that are authorised by the Operator to enter the Sites. |
(i) | The Operator and its Personnel may, subject to the SLA, the Site Access Rules and the terms of the relevant Site Licence, enter onto and use the access on or across any Site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at no charge, to obtain entry into the Site for the purpose of exercising the Operator’s rights to access, install, operate, maintain, repair, modify, replace, upgrade or remove the Operator Equipment at the Site. |
(j) | In order to provide access on or across any Site to the Operator and its Personnel in accordance with this Agreement, TowerCo must ensure that it has and maintains during the Term, at no cost to the Operator, all necessary permits, authorisations, easements or rights to enter, pass over or use the Sites, other parts of a building or land in which a Site is located or any access way or road, to enable pedestrian and vehicular access at all times from the public highway to and from the Site, in each case at least as extensive as such permits, authorisations, easements or rights transferred to TowerCo under the Tower Transfer Agreement. Where such transferred permits, authorisations, easements or rights are not adequate to allow reasonable access to the Operator, TowerCo shall use its best efforts to secure improved permits, authorisations, easements or rights. |
(k) | Except in emergency situations, prior to upgrading, installing or removing any Operator Equipment within the Reserved Capacity or any agreed Additional Capacity at a Site (the Proposed Works), the Operator must submit to TowerCo a notification of the Proposed Works in the form of Schedule 9 (Form of Notice for Change to Operator Equipment), at least five (5) Working Days prior to undertaking the Proposed Works. In emergency situations, the Operator must submit a notification of the actual work undertaken in the form of Schedule 9 (Form of Notice for Change to Operator Equipment) as soon a practicable after the event. Unless TowerCo notifies the Operator otherwise within five (5) Working Days, the notified form will be deemed to be a variation of the relevant Site Licences from the date of the notice. |
(l) | If, in the reasonable opinion of either party, any Make Ready Work is required at a Site before the Operator is able to undertake any Proposed Works, then clauses 6.1 and/or 6.2 will apply. Except in emergency situations, the Operator must not undertake any Proposed Works until all necessary Make Ready Work has been completed. |
(m) | Except in emergency situations, if the Operator installs any Operator Equipment within the Reserved Capacity at a Site that has not been listed in a Site Licence or amendment (deemed or otherwise) to a Site Licence, the Operator agrees to pay to TowerCo, on demand, USD[***] for each item of such Operator Equipment. |
(n) | The Operator shall be obligated to remove the Operator Equipment from a Site no later than 20 Working Days after the expiration date or earlier termination of the relevant Site Licence. The Operator shall restore the Facilities to as good a condition as initially received by the Operator (with the exception of normal wear and tear) and the Operator shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the removal of the Operator Equipment, including the repair of any damage to the Facilities or Site caused by such removal. If the Operator fails to remove the Operator Equipment from a Site within 20 Working Days after the expiration date or earlier termination of the relevant Site Licence, TowerCo may, at its option and provided that it has given the Operator at least two (2) Working Days prior written notice, do any one of the following: |
(i) | cause the Operator Equipment at the Site to be removed by authorised TowerCo Personnel and securely stored at the expense of the Operator; or |
Page 10
(ii) | require the Operator to pay to TowerCo holdover lease fees equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the then effective Lease Fee from the expiration date or earlier termination of the relevant Site Licence to the date the Operator Equipment is removed from the Site by the Operator. |

6. | Services to be provided by TowerCo |
6.1 | Make Ready Work |
(a) | TowerCo must perform or procure the performance of all necessary Make Ready Work at a Site subject to: |
(i) | applicable Industry Standards in Indonesia; and |
(ii) | the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any relevant Site Licence, |
within [***] calendar days or as otherwise agreed by the parties acting reasonably of receipt of a request from the Operator or of a notice of Proposed Work if, in the opinion of TowerCo, a Site has become structurally inadequate to accommodate the Operator’s proposed installation, modification or relocation of Operator Equipment within the Reserved Capacity and any agreed Additional Capacity at the Site. TowerCo must act reasonably to perform or procure any Make Ready Works as quickly as possible.
(b) | If TowerCo fails to perform or procure the performance of all necessary Make Ready Work at a Site in accordance with paragraph (a), then the Operator may notify TowerCo in writing of such failure. If TowerCo has not responded to such notice and completed any required Make Ready Work within 10 Working Days of receipt of the Operator’s notice then, in addition to any remedies available to the Operator under this Agreement or a Site Licence, the Operator shall be entitled to undertake the Make Ready Work. The costs of the Operator undertaking any Make Ready Work will be attributed in accordance with clause 6.2 or as otherwise originally agreed. |
6.2 | Access to Reserved Capacity |
(a) | If the Operator wishes to install Operator Equipment within the Reserved Capacity at the Site, then TowerCo must use best efforts to enable the Operator to install its required additional Operator Equipment within the Reserved Capacity at the Site. Best efforts in this paragraph (a) includes undertaking all Make Ready Work, including upgrading/strengthening of the Facilities at the relevant Site and/or the acquisition of additional land. |
Page 11
(b) | If TowerCo is unable, despite using best efforts, to enable the Operator to install its required additional Operator Equipment within the Reserved Capacity at such Site, then the Operator shall have the right to step in and undertake any Make Ready Work, including upgrading/strengthening of the Facility at the Site and/or negotiate directly with any Head Lessor or other relevant third party to acquire additional land in order to install its required additional Operator Equipment. |
(c) | If, despite the parties best efforts in relation to the activities set out in paragraphs (a) and (b), the Operator remains unable to install its required additional Operator Equipment at the Site, then TowerCo must promptly provide sufficient space for the required additional Operator Equipment on another Site requested by the Operator. If required, TowerCo must undertake all Make Ready Work, including necessary upgrading/strengthening of the facilities at that site and/or the acquisition of additional land. |
(d) | TowerCo must, at the Operator’s request, provide the Operator with sufficient evidence that it cannot enable the Operator to install its required Operator Equipment within the Reserved Capacity at any Site chosen by the Operator. |
(e) | Any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the activities set out in clause 6.1 and paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above will be attributable to a party as follows: |
(i) | if the Operator’s request for access to the Reserved Capacity is in excess of the Original Structural Capacity and the Operator Equipment is the only Equipment on the Tower, then the Operator will be liable for the cost of any Make Ready Work and if TowerCo has incurred such costs then the Operator will reimburse TowerCo for its reasonable costs within 20 Working Days of receipt of an invoice evidencing such costs; |
(ii) | if the Operator’s request for access to the Reserved Capacity is within the Original Structural Capacity of that Tower, then TowerCo will be liable for the cost of any Make Ready Work and if the Operator has incurred such costs then TowerCo will reimburse the Operator for its reasonable costs within 20 Working Days of receipt of an invoice evidencing such costs; and |
(iii) | if: |
(A) | the Operator’s request for access to the Reserved Capacity is in excess of the Original Structural Capacity of that Tower; and |
(B) | a third party’s Equipment has been co located on that Tower, |
then TowerCo will be liable for the cost of any Make Ready Work that is necessary based on the proportion of the additional capacity, in excess of the Original Structural Capacity, used by the third party’s Equipment. The Operator is liable for the cost of the Make Ready Work based on the proportion of the additional capacity, in excess of the Original Structural Capacity, used by the Operator Equipment. If either party has incurred any costs in addition to those for which it is liable then the other party will reimburse it for its reasonable costs within 20 Working Days of receipt of an invoice evidencing such costs.
(f) | For the avoidance of doubt, the Operator’s use of any Reserved Capacity in accordance with this clause 6.2 will not incur any liability for rental fees in addition to the Lease Fee. |

(i) | to the extent the same have been transferred to TowerCo under the Tower Transfer Agreement (and if not then TowerCo must use best efforts to obtain and provide to the Operator), fit, safe and available access to the Sites and the Operator Equipment; |
(ii) | to the extent in existence when the relevant Site was transferred to TowerCo under the Tower Transfer Agreement (and if not then TowerCo must use best efforts to obtain and provide to the Operator), safety and security conditions consistent with Industry Standards in Indonesia to preserve the Operator Equipment from theft, damage or vandalism; |
(iii) | to the extent the same have been transferred to TowerCo under the Tower Transfer Agreement (and if not then TowerCo must use best efforts to obtain and provide to the Operator), all legal, contractual and regulatory rights in connection with the Facilities and the Sites consistent with Industry Standards in Indonesia to enable the Operator to exercise its rights and enjoy the benefits granted to it under this Agreement and the Site Licences; and |
(iv) | to the extent the same have been transferred to TowerCo under the Tower Transfer Agreement (and if not then TowerCo must use best efforts to obtain and provide to the Operator), other support systems for the correct and constant management, accessibility, operation, maintenance and servicing of the Sites in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Industry Standards in Indonesia and applicable Laws. |
6.4 | Electricity at a Site |
Except to the extent that the Operator holds any utility contracts in its name at a Site, TowerCo shall ensure that all utility contracts at the Sites supporting the Operator Equipment are in the name of TowerCo. The parties will cooperate in transferring any utility contracts in TowerCo’s name to the Operator.
6.5 | Compliance with SLA, Site Access Rules and operations plan |
(a) | TowerCo shall comply with its obligations under the SLA and the Site Access Rules. |
(b) | For the purposes of this Agreement, the Site Access Rules are those rules and regulations concerning access to, and activities at, the Sites that will apply universally to any person accessing the Sites (including the Operator), to be issued by TowerCo and agreed by the Operator, both acting reasonably, within 1 month of the Commencement Date and thereafter as varied from time to time. |
(c) | TowerCo undertakes that it will implement any operations plan submitted to the Operator as part of TowerCo’s Bid (as that term is defined in the Tower Transfer Agreement) to the extent that such plan does not derogate from TowerCo’s obligations under this Agreement. |

The Indonesian rate of inflation shall be calculated in accordance with the increase in the Indonesian Consumer Price Index published by the Badan Pusat Statistik (or any successor body) over the prior year (measured from December to December). |
(d) | The Lease Fee payable in any year of the Term will be payable in USD. |
(e) | The Lease Fee payable: |
(i) | on 1 April 2010 will be reduced if paragraph 1.5 of Schedule 3 (Service Level Agreement) applied in the preceding periods of the Term; and |
(ii) | thereafter in any year of the Term will be reduced if paragraph 1.5 of Schedule 3 (Service Level Agreement) applied in the immediately preceding year of the Term. |
(f) | The Lease Fee is exclusive of value added tax but inclusive of all sales tax, withholding tax and other taxes, levies and charges which may be payable as at the Commencement Date and at any time during the Term. The Operator will deduct withholding tax from the Lease Fee if required by Law. |
Page 14
(g) | For the avoidance of doubt, the Lease Fee will not be reduced if the Operator has not utilized its entire Reserved Capacity at a Site. |
7.2 | Other Fees |
(a) | In addition to the Lease Fees, the Operator will pay or reimburse to TowerCo any other costs incurred by TowerCo which the Operator has, by prior written notice or under this clause 7.2, agreed to pay, monthly in arrears after receipt of an invoice evidencing such costs, including: |
(i) | pass through electricity costs (including Overblust) to the extent that these relate to the Operator; |
(ii) | all costs for backup and permanent generators to the extent that these relate to the Operator; |
(iii) | any official Indonesian government duties, levies and charges, to the extent such duties, levies and charges are assessed as a result of and relate solely to, the Operator Equipment at the Site; and |
(iv) | any official Indonesian government permits, duties, levies and charges required by Law, to the extent that: |
(A) | these are assessed on the Facilities at a Site occupied by the Operator under a Site Licence; |
(B) | these are new or renewal permits, duties, levies and charges for the Sites (and in the case of renewal permits, only in relation to any increase in cost over the original cost of the permit); and |
(C) | the Operator pays a pro rata share of costs, with costs to be shared equally among TowerCo and each of the tenants at the relevant Site. |
(b) | Except as set out expressly in this Agreement, TowerCo is responsible for all costs and expenses incurred at a Site or relating to the Facilities from time to time, including any costs and expenses in connection with the Head Leases (and renewal thereof), the Required Consents, any taxes, duties, levies and charges associated with the Sites and/or the Facilities that may be payable as at the Commencement Date and at any time during the Term. |
7.3 | Invoicing |
(a) | TowerCo will provide an invoice and a tax invoice for the Lease Fees, in an agreed form and containing the information set out in an agreed form of invoice approved by the Joint Operations Committee, to the Operator prior to 20 Working Days before the due dates set forth in clause 7.1(a). Lease Fees invoiced in accordance with this paragraph (a) will be due and payable on or before the due dates set forth in clause 7.1(a). |
(b) | In the event of late payment of the Lease Fee or pass through costs or reimbursed expenses due under any Site Licence, except in the case of an Invoice Error, the Operator shall pay interest on any unpaid portion of such amounts commencing on the date payment was due under or in accordance with this Agreement until payment in full at a rate of [***]% per annum, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to TowerCo under this Agreement or any applicable Laws. |
Page 15
7.4 | Invoice Disputes |
(a) | Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, if the Operator: |
(i) | genuinely believes there is an error in a calculation of the amount of an invoice (an Invoice Error) which has resulted in TowerCo overcharging the Operator on that invoice, including a failure to set off amount that are due and payable to the Operator under this Agreement; and |
(ii) | before 10 Working Days before the due date for payment, gives notice setting out in full details of the invoice, the Invoice Error, the grounds for the Operator’s belief that the Invoice Error exists and the amount by which the Operator believes that TowerCo has overcharged it on that invoice by reason of the Invoice Error (the Disputed Amount), |
then either party may refer the alleged Invoice Error in writing to the Joint Operations Committee, which must attempt to resolve amicably the alleged Invoice Error. If the Joint Operations Committee is unable to resolve the alleged Invoice Error within five (5) Working Days, then TowerCo must issue a credit note for the Disputed Amount within three (3) Working Days before the due date for payment of the disputed invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, issuance of a credit note and non payment of any Disputed Amount prior to the resolution of an Invoice Error in accordance with this clause is not a breach of this Agreement and the issue of a credit note shall not be an admission by TowerCo that an Invoice Error exists.
(b) | Following the giving of any notice under clause 7.4(a)(ii), the parties must use best efforts to settle any claim of Invoice Error. If they do not settle any claim of Invoice Error within 20 Working Days from the date of the notice given under clause 7.4(a)(ii), either party may give notice requiring the matter to be referred to a certified practising accountant or a certified public accountant (the CPA) to be finally resolved. Unless otherwise agreed in writing: |
(i) | the parties must endeavour to appoint a single CPA by agreement. If, within 5 Working Days of the notice under this clause 7.4(b) being given, the parties are unable to agree on a single CPA, the CPA shall be an independent international accounting firm appointed by the Engagement Partner/Technical Advisor of the Operator’s Auditor on the application of either party; |
(ii) | the CPA must adopt a procedure which, in the CPA’s opinion, is the most simple and expeditious procedure possible in the circumstances; |
(iii) | the parties will provide the CPA with any information that the CPA reasonably requires; |
(iv) | either party may identify information provided to the CPA as being Confidential Information in which case the CPA shall be deemed to be a Receiving Party for the purposes of clause 15. The CPA will not include Confidential Information in his or her determination without the written consent of the Supplying Party, and will not make it available to any person other than as provided for in clause 15; |
Page 16
(v) | the CPA must use best efforts to make a decision on the claim of an Invoice Error within 30 Working Days of appointment; and |
(vi) | the costs of the CPA be paid as follows: |
(A) | if the CPA decides that there is no Invoice Error or, as a result of an Invoice Error the amount of the original invoice is increased after correction, then the Operator will pay the costs of the CPA; |
(B) | if the CPA decides that there is an Invoice Error and the amount of the original invoice is reduced by 5% or less after correction, then the Operator and TowerCo will equally share and pay the costs of the CPA; and |
(C) | if the CPA decides that there is an Invoice Error and the amount of the original invoice is reduced by more than 5% after correction, then TowerCo will pay the costs of the CPA. |
(vii) | If it is agreed by the parties or found by the CPA that an Invoice Error exists in the original invoice then, depending on whether the amount properly payable by the Operator on that invoice after correction of that Invoice Error is more than the amount paid (an underpayment) or less than the amount paid (an overpayment), either the Operator or TowerCo must forthwith pay to the other the amount of the difference between the amount paid and the amount properly payable by the Operator on the invoice after correction of that Invoice Error. |
(c) | No later than [***] days after the date of the issue of any invoice, the Operator may give notice disputing any amount in that invoice, regardless of whether or not it has previously given notice of Invoice Error in relation to that invoice or that invoice has been paid. The notice must set out details of the invoice, the disputed amount and the grounds for the Operator’s belief together with any supporting evidence available from its records. Delivery of any such notice shall not constitute grounds for termination of this Agreement by TowerCo. The parties must settle the dispute in accordance with clause 7.4(d). To avoid doubt, clauses 7.4(a) to 7.4(b) do not apply to any notice given under this clause 7.4(c), and clauses 7.4(d) and 7.4(e) do not apply to any notice given under clause 7.4(a)(ii). |
(d) | The parties must use best efforts to settle promptly any dispute under clause 7.4(c) including making available promptly all relevant data in their possession necessary to assist in such settlement. If they do not settle the dispute by agreement within 40 Working Days after notice was given under clause 7.4(c), either party may give notice referring the matter directly for settlement by arbitration under clause 20 without the need for prior negotiation. The arbitration must commence no earlier than 10 Working Days after the date the notice is given and the terms of the reference must be confined to that claim or dispute. |
(e) | If a dispute under clause 7.4(d) is settled in favour of the Operator, TowerCo must forthwith refund the amount agreed or found to have been overpaid. If a dispute under clause 7.4(d) is settled in favour of TowerCo, the Operator must pay all of TowerCo’s costs associated with the dispute and arbitration, including any amounts agreed or found to have been underpaid. |
Page 17
7.5 | Set off |

(b) | TowerCo must use best efforts to renew or renegotiate a Head Lease on its expiry by effluxion of time. Best efforts in this clause 8.2(b) means taking all action reasonably necessary, and acting diligently, to renew or renegotiate a Head Lease, but does not require paying money in circumstances that are commercially onerous or unreasonable or agreeing to commercially onerous or unreasonable conditions in the context of doing business in Indonesia. TowerCo must commence efforts to renew or renegotiate a Head Lease at least 6 months prior to its expiry by effluxion of time and keep the Operator informed as to the status of such efforts to renew or renegotiate a Head Lease on a monthly basis. TowerCo must continue to use best efforts to renew or renegotiate the Head Lease up to the expiry of the Head Lease by effluxion of time. |
Page 18
(c) | The Operator may at any time after one month prior to the expiry of a Head Lease, by giving 10 Working Days notice to TowerCo, unless the Operator has at any time up to the date of termination been provided with evidence by TowerCo that an extension of the Head Lease has been agreed, terminate the affected Site Licence or Site Licences, without liability to the Operator, and either: |

TowerCo agrees to reimburse the Operator for TowerCo’s share of the reasonable costs incurred by the Operator in relation to such migration within 15 Working Days of receiving an invoice evidencing for such costs. |
8.3 | Structural Life of the Facilities |
(a) | TowerCo must maintain the Facilities to ensure that they remain available to the Operator in accordance with this Agreement for their Structural Life and, in any event, not less than the term of the relevant Site Licence, including any Renewal Site Term. |
(b) | If TowerCo decides to replace a Facility at the end of its Structural Life, then TowerCo must promptly notify the Operator of this fact. TowerCo must ensure that: |
(i) | any replacement facility is built to the same or improved specifications as the original Facility; |
(ii) | the Operator’s rights on any replacement facility will be the same as in respect of the original Facility; |
(iii) | where the Operator Equipment needs to be relocated, then this relocation must be completed by the Operator before any replacement work commences; |
(iv) | during any replacement of Facilities TowerCo must use best efforts to ensure minimal disruption to the Operator’s Business; and. |
(v) | upon installation of the Operator Equipment on any replacement facility, such facility shall become a “Facility” for the purposes of this Agreement and any relevant Site Licence. |
