================================================================================
This Master Tower Site Lease ( the "Lease") is entered pursuant to a
Contract of Sale dated December 31, 1997, between Lessor and Lessee (the
"Purchase Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Lease have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement. Lessee acknowledges and
agrees that Lessee's entering into and performing under this Lease is a material
inducement to Lessor's purchase of the Property under the Purchase Agreement.
Lessor operates the antenna site(s) described in the Antenna Site Lease
Schedule(s) executed and delivered by Lessor and Lessee pursuant to this Lease
from time to time (each a "Schedule" and, collectively, the "Schedules"). Lessor
desires to lease to Lessee and Lessee desires to lease from Lessor certain space
at the site for the continuing operation of Lessee's equipment which is
currently installed and equipment which may be installed in the future on the
terms set forth in the Schedule(s) and herein. If the terms of a Schedule
conflict with this Lease, the Schedule shall control.
1. Leased Premises. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee space at the
site as specified and described in a Schedule. If a Schedule provides that
Lessee's equipment will be connected to a multiplexer, Lessee shall be
responsible for all costs of multiplexer modules and other equipment required
for the connection.
2. Term.
(a) The initial term and, if applicable, renewal terms of this
Lease for any antenna system shall be for a period of ten (10) years beginning
on the date of execution of this Lease. Provided Lessee is not in default, the
lease term may, by mutual agreement, be renewed for one or more five-year terms,
at a rental rate to be mutually agreed upon.
(b) If Lessee holds over the leased premises after the final
term of this Lease, then this Lease shall revert to a month-to-month term, and
rent shall be 150% of the rent for the last month of the preceding term. Lessor
shall have the right during such month-to-month term to terminate this Lease
without cause upon thirty (30) days notice to Lessee.
3. Rent.
(a) Lessee shall pay rent at the rate of $48,140.50 per month.
Such rental rate shall increase by 1.5% on each of the first four annual
anniversary dates of this Lease, and by 2.5% on each of the fifth through ninth
anniversary dates of this Lease. Rent for any fractional month at the beginning
or end of a term shall be prorated. Monthly rent as specified above applies to
the cumulative equipment currently in operation by Lessee at the twenty sites to
be acquired by Lessor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(b) Lessee shall pay rent by electronic transfer or direct to
Lessor's lockbox account at Pinnacle Towers Inc., X.X. Xxx 000000, Xxxxx, XX
00000-0000 no later than the first day of each calendar month with respect to
which it is payable. If payment is not received by the 10th of any month, Lessor
has the option to charge a late fee equal to the greater of $25 or 12% per month
of the amount due.
(c) Any security deposit required by this Lease will be held
in a non-interest bearing account and shall be returned to Lessee thirty (30)
days following the conclusion of the lease term of the Schedule, provided Lessee
is not in default.
(d) Lessee shall pay all sales or use taxes applicable to rent
payable under this Lease or as a direct result of Lessee's equipment being
located on the leased premises.
4. Installation.
(a) Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that Lessee currently has
certain equipment installed at the sites, which equipment is subject to the
terms of this Lease. Additionally, Lessor acknowledges that Lessee may wish to
install additional equipment at the sites in the future.
(b) Lessee shall install and operate only the equipment
currently in place on the leased premises and identified in the Schedules, and
the cost of Lessee's installation and licensing fees shall be borne solely by
Lessee. Lessee shall comply with all site rules and standards contained in
Exhibit A to this Lease with respect to any equipment that Lessor subsequently
agrees may be added to
Exhibit "D"
the Schedules, but will not be required to so comply with respect to the
equipment currently in place on the leased premises and identified in the
Schedules on the date of this Lease unless the tower whereupon the equipment is
located is subsequently upgraded or replaced by Lessor.
(c) During installation of any later approved equipment,
Lessee shall not cause interference of any kind to the activities of Lessor or
lessees on the site. If such interference is caused by Lessee and cannot be
reduced to levels reasonably acceptable to Lessor, Lessee shall immediately halt
all installation work, and Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease by giving
Lessee ten (10) days written notice.
(d) Lessee represents that: (I) Lessee's current and future
equipment and the operation and use thereof materially complies and will comply
with all applicable law, and (II) all equipment has received all approvals of
governmental authorities required in connection with ownership thereof and have
been operated and maintained in accordance with applicable law.
5. Uses of Leased Premises.
(a) Lessee shall use the leased premises and conduct its
communications operations in compliance with the terms of its FCC license and
applicable regulations imposed by any other governmental agency. Lessee shall,
if requested, provide Lessor with copies of such permits.
(b) Lessee shall have a non-exclusive right to access the
leased premises twenty-four (24) hours a day, 365 days a year for its employees,
agents, or representatives as designated. In accordance with procedures in
Exhibit A, Lessee will be issued a key, key card, and/ or access code to unlock
the gate and transmitter room for maintenance purposes. This key may not be
duplicated, loaned, or transferred to any other entity. If this key or keycard
is lost or the integrity of security is breached by Lessee, Lessee will bear the
expense for Lessor to re-tool the locks, reprogram the security system, and
provide new keys and/or keycards for all authorized persons. Lessee shall
provide Lessor the name of Lessee's custodian of the key or keycard; should the
custodian change, Lessee shall notify Lessor, in writing, of the new custodian's
identity within twenty-four (24) hours.
(c) Before performing any installation or maintenance work at
a site (other than emergency and routine maintenance work), Lessee shall notify
Lessor and obtain Lessor's approval of the work to be performed and the persons
to perform the work with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. All contractors and subcontractors of Lessee who perform any services
on the leased premises must be approved by Lessor in advance with said approval
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and must hold all licenses necessary
for the work being performed. Lessee shall maintain a log of the entry and exit
of its employees and agents and shall make the log available to Lessor upon
request.
(d) Lessee shall not bring onto the site any Hazardous
Materials in violation of any environmental law.
(e) Lessee shall not cause interference of any kind to the
operations of the Lessor or other lessees of space at the towers on the leased
premises in excess of levels permitted by the FCC. However, to the extent that
the Lessee does not cause interference with current lessees, Lessee shall not be
required to make modifications with respect to those lessees. If Lessee is
notified that its operations are causing objectionable interference, Lessee
shall promptly undertake all necessary steps to determine the cause of and
eliminate such interference. If the interference continues for a period in
excess of forty-eight (48) hours following notification, Lessor shall have the
right to cause Lessee to cease operating the offending equipment or to reduce
the power sufficiently to remove the interference until the condition can be
remedied. Lessee shall continue to be obligated to pay rent, and Lessor shall
not be held liable for any damages or loss of revenues. If Lessee is required to
discontinue its operation under this section for a period of sixty (60) days,
and provided Lessee has diligently pursued all reasonable cures and is unable to
eliminate the interference, then Lessee shall have the right to terminate this
Lease. Provided Lessee's equipment is operating properly, if the operations of
any equipment installed after Lessee's equipment cause objectionable
interference to Lessee's operation, then Lessor shall require the interfering
lessee to remedy the interference and bear the costs thereof.
(f) Lessee understands that it is the intention of Lessor to
accommodate as many users as possible at its sites. Lessee shall cooperate, at
no cost to Lessee, with Lessor in rescheduling its transmitting activities,
reducing power, or interrupting its activities for limited periods of time in
order to permit the safe installation of new equipment or new facilities at the
site or to permit repairs to facilities of any user of the site or to the site
or related facilities.
(g) Lessor makes no guaranty or warranty, including any
implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular use. Lessee has
examined the leased premises and determined that they are suitable for its
purposes.
6. Utilities. In addition to all rental amounts required
hereunder, Lessee shall pay to Landlord the sum of $2,936.00 per month for
utility costs incurred by Lessor, and shall not be responsible for utility costs
incurred by Lessor in excess of $2,936.00 per month. Lessee shall also pay all
installation costs for electrical power feeds, phone lines, and other utility
installation for Lessee's equipment.
7. Insurance. Requirements are set forth in Exhibit B.

8. Maintenance of Site.
(a) Lessor shall maintain the site(s) in good repair, ordinary
wear and tear excepted, and in compliance with applicable sections of Part 17 of
the FCC's rules pertaining to lighting, marking, inspection, and maintenance. In
cases where such FCC regulations require the painting of Lessee's feedlines,
Lessee hereby consents to such painting at Lessor's expense.
(b) Lessee shall maintain its equipment in accordance with
standards of good engineering practice to assure that it conforms with the site
standards in Exhibit A and shall at the conclusion of a Schedule surrender
possession of the leased premises to Lessor in the same condition they were at
the commencement of the Schedule, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
9. Alteration by Lessee.
(a) Lessee may not make improvements or alterations to the
tower(s), building(s), or any portion of the leased premises without the
expressed written permission of Lessor. Any such improvements that are approved
by Lessor and made by Lessee shall become the property of Lessor upon
termination or expiration of this Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 9(a) above, Lessee may make
changes and alterations in its equipment provided that (i) such changes or
alterations conform with standards of good engineering practice and the
provisions of Section 5, (ii) plans and specifications are first submitted to
and approved in writing by Lessor (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed using customary commercial standards), and (iii) any proposed changes
or alterations do not materially increase the "wind loading" of the tower. Upon
Lessor's reasonable request, Lessee will provide an independent professional
analysis of Awind loading@ and stress to determine any changes that equipment
replacements or alterations would cause.
10. Site Damage; Damage to Lessee's Equipment; Service
Interruption.
(a) If a site is fully or partially destroyed or damaged,
Lessor, at its option, may elect to terminate a Schedule upon ten (10) days
written notice to the Lessee. In this event, Lessee shall owe rent only up to
the date on which Lessee was unable to conduct its normal operations solely due
to the damage or destruction of the site.
(b) Lessor, at its option, may elect to repair or rebuild the
site, in which case, the Schedules shall remain in force. Lessor will provide
Lessee at least thirty (30) days notice thereof, and any such project shall be
completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of damage or
destruction. If reconstruction or repair cannot reasonably be undertaken without
dismantling Lessee's antenna, then Lessor may remove Lessee's antenna and
interrupt Lessee's operations, thereafter replacing the antenna as soon as
reasonably possible. Lessee shall be entitled to a pro rata abatement of rent
for the time it is unable to conduct its normal operations as a result of such
total or partial destruction or damage or need of repair. Lessee shall also be
entitled to a pro rata abatement of rent, if Lessor does not repair or rebuild
the site in accordance with the terms hereof, in an amount for the damaged
location calculated in accordance with the allocation set forth on the attached
Exhibit C.
(c) Under no circumstances whatsoever shall Lessor be
responsible for damage to or loss of Lessee's equipment, or for financial loss
due to business interruption, unless by Lessor's negligence or willful
misconduct.
(d) Lessor shall incur no liability to Lessee for failure to
furnish space and/or electrical power if prevented by war, fires, accidents,
acts of God, or other causes beyond its reasonable control. During such period,
Lessee shall be entitled only to a pro rata abatement of rent for the time it is
unable to conduct substantially normal operations as a result of such
circumstances, except that Lessee shall not be entitled to any abatement for
outages of less than twenty-four (24) hours consecutive duration.
11. Eminent Domain. If the land or leased premises (or any
material part thereof) upon which a tower, foundation, or building is located
are acquired or condemned under the power of eminent domain, whether by public
authority, public utility, or otherwise, then the applicable Schedule shall
terminate as of the date of the acquisition. Lessor shall be entitled to the
entire amount of any condemnation award, and Lessee shall be entitled to make
claim for and retain a condemnation award based on and attributable to the
expense and damage of removing its fixtures.
12. Indemnification by Lessee. Lessee shall indemnify, hold
harmless, and defend Lessor for and against any and all liabilities, claims,
demands, suits, damages, actions, recoveries, judgments, and expenses (including
court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, and costs of investigation) resulting
from: (a) a breach by Lessee of any provision contained herein or any agreement
executed pursuant hereto; and (b) injuries to or death of any person or any
damage to property or loss of revenues due to discontinuance of operations at
the leased premises resulting from, or that is claimed to result from or arise
out of any act or omission of Lessee or its contractors, subcontractors, agents,
or representatives in or around the leased premises or any breach of this Lease
by Lessee, except to the extent such liabilities are directly caused by the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of Lessor.
13. Indemnification by Lessor. Lessor shall indemnify, hold
harmless, and defend Lessee for and against any and all liabilities, claims,
demands, suits, damages, actions, recoveries, judgments, and expenses (including
court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, and costs of investigation) resulting
from: (a) a breach by Lessor of any provision contained herein or any agreement
executed pursuant hereto; and (b) injuries to or death of any person or any
damage to property or loss of revenues due to discontinuance of operations at
the leased premises resulting from, or that is claimed to result from or arise
out of any act or omission of Lessor or its contractors,
3
subcontractors, agents, or representatives in or around the leased premises or
any breach of this Lease by Lessor, except to the extent such liabilities are
directly caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Lessee.
14. Assignment. Lessee shall not assign, mortgage, or encumber
this Lease and shall not sublet or permit the leased premises or any part
thereof to be used by others without the express written approval of Lessor,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessor's consent shall not be required in the event Lessee assigns
this Lease to a purchaser of all or substantially all assets of Lessee. No
sublease or authorized use by others shall relieve Lessee of its obligations
under this Lease. Lessor may assign, mortgage, or encumber its rights under this
Lease at any time.
15. Default by Lessee. If Lessee fails to make payments within ten
(10) days of date due and such failure continues for five (5) days after written
notice from Lessor, Lessee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, makes a transfer
in fraud of creditors, makes an arrangement for the benefit of creditors;
institutes voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or consents to the
filing of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or files a petition or answer or
consent seeking reorganization or liquidation under any bankruptcy or similar
laws; a receiver or trustee is appointed for substantially all of the assets of
Lessee or for Lessee's leasehold interest in this Lease, or; any representation,
warranty, or covenant of Lessee herein is untrue, false, or misleading at any
time; or Lessee fails to comply with any other term of this Lease after receipt
of written notice from Lessor, and does not cure such other failure within
thirty (30) days of such written notice, or does not commence to cure within
thirty (30) days and complete such cure within ninety (90) days of such written
notice (each an "Event of Default"); then Lessor shall have the option to
terminate this Lease or any or all Schedules, in which event Lessee shall
surrender possession of the leased premises within ten (10) days, or to pursue
any other remedy available to Lessor under this Lease or otherwise provided by
law or equity. Lessor may also apply any or all of the deposit or prepaid rent
to cure a default. Upon an Event of Default, Lessee shall pay Lessor the sum of:
(a) the unpaid rent and other amounts payable hereunder through the date of such
Event of Default; (b) the cost of repairing, altering, or otherwise putting the
leased premises into condition acceptable to a new lessee or lessees; (c) all
expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing its remedies, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs; (d) any other damages or relief Lessor may be
entitled to at law or in equity. Lessee shall be liable for all expenses
incurred by Lessor for recovery, and repossession by Lessor, which actions shall
not affect the obligations of Lessee for the unexpired term of this Lease unless
Lessor terminates this Lease.
16. Default by Lessor. Upon the occurrence of any act or omission
by Lessor that would give Lessee the right to damages or the right to terminate
a Schedule or this Lease, Lessee shall not xxx for damages or exercise any right
to terminate this Lease or a Schedule until it gives Lessor and any mortgagee
(the existence of which Lessor notifies Lessee in writing) of this Lease notice
in writing of the act or omission and a reasonable time (which shall not be less
than thirty [30] days) to remedy such act or omission.
17. Removal of Lessee's Equipment. At the termination of a
Schedule, provided Lessee is not in default, Lessee shall have one hundred
eighty (180) days to remove its equipment in accordance with Lessor's
designation of the order of removal, but such removal shall be within thirty
(30) days if Lessee defaults in any rent payment. Lessee shall pay all costs in
connection with the removal.
18. Subordination. This Lease is and shall be subject and
subordinate to all mortgages that may now or hereafter affect the leased
premises and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and
extensions thereof; provided, however, as a condition precedent to any such
subordination, the party secured by such instrument shall covenant for itself
and any purchaser at foreclosure not to disturb Lessee's quiet enjoyment so long
as Lessee is not in default hereunder. This subordination shall be self-
operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required by any
mortgagee. However, upon written request from Lessor, Lessee shall execute a
certificate confirming such subordination.
19. Liens. Lessee shall not suffer or permit any liens to stand
against the leased premises or any part thereof by reason of any work, labor,
service, or materials done for, or supplied for, or supplied to or claimed to
have been done for, or supplied to, Lessee or anyone holding Lessee's property
or any part thereof through or under Lessee ("Mechanics' Liens"). If any
Mechanics' Lien shall at any time be filed against the leased premises, Lessee
shall cause it to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after the date
of filing by either payment, deposit, or bond. If Lessee fails to discharge any
such Mechanics' Lien within such period, then, in addition to any other right or
remedy of Lessor, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, procure the
discharge of the Mechanics' Lien. All amounts incurred by Lessor, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, in procuring the discharge of such Mechanics' Lien,
together with interest thereon at 12% per annum from the date of incurrence,
shall become due and payable immediately by Lessee to Lessor.
20. Estoppel Certificates. At any time, but not with less than ten
(10) days prior written notice, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver
to Lessor a statement in writing certifying, if true, that this Lease and
applicable Schedule(s) are unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there
have been any modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as
modified and stating the modifications), and the dates to which rent and other
charges, if any, have been paid in advance.
4
21. Site Relocation. If Lessor reasonably determines that it is not
---------------
able to continue to lease any site to Lessee due to any title defect or
condition that existed or arose before the date hereof, then if Lessor locates
another site within a 5 mile radius of the subject site, Lessee shall be
obligated to relocate to such replacement site, at its cost and expense.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Lessee shall be obligated to pay all
rent allocable to the Mexia Site and Temple Site (as hereinafter defined)
whether or not Lessor locates a replacement site for the Lessee upon the
occurrence of the following: (1) Lessor reasonably determines that it is not
able to lease to the Lessee the Mexia Site identified as Site No. 4170 in the
Purchase Agreement (the "Mexia Site") due to tax suits and or judgments which
are currently outstanding against the Mexia Site, or (2) Lessor reasonably
determines it is not able to lease to the Lessee the Temple Site identified as
Site No. 4120 in the Purchase Agreement (the "Temple Site") due to the fact that
there is no building permit or variance for the Temple Site for the improvements
as they currently exist. For the preceding sentence, Lessor agrees to use
reasonable efforts to locate a replacement site within a five (5) mile radius of
the subject site, but Lessor shall determine in its sole discretion if it is
economically feasible for Lessor to obtain a replacement site.
22. Miscellaneous.
-------------
(a) The remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and shall not
preclude the assertion by any party hereto of any other rights or the seeking of
any other remedies against the other parties hereto.
(b) Should Lessor permit a continuing default by Lessee under this
Lease, the obligations of Lessee hereunder shall continue, and such permissive
default shall not be construed as a renewal of the term hereof nor as a waiver
of any of the rights of Lessor or obligations of Lessee hereunder.
(c) In addition to the other remedies in this Lease, and anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessor shall be entitled to
specific performance or injunctive relief of any violation or attempted or
threatened violation of this Lease by Lessee without the necessity to post a
bond.
(d) This Lease may be executed in counterparts, and any number of
counterparts signed in the aggregate by the parties will constitute a single,
original instrument.
(e) This Lease, including the exhibits, schedules, lists and other
documents referred to herein, contain the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to its subject matter. There are no restrictions, agreements,
promises, warranties, covenants, or understandings other than expressly set
forth herein or therein. This Lease supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings between the parties with respect to its subject matter. No
modification of this Lease shall be effective unless contained in a writing
signed, dated and fully witnessed by the authorized representative of both
parties.
(f) All notices, requests, claims, demands, and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given if delivered personally by FAX, by courier or mailed (certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to Lessor at the address shown herein
and to Lessee at the address shown on a Schedule or to such other address as any
party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance with this
provision.
(g) This Lease shall be governed by, construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of
laws rules.
(h) Each party hereby waives any right of recovery against the
other for injury or loss due to hazards covered by insurance or required to be
covered, to the extent of the injury or loss covered thereby. Any policy of
insurance to be provided by Lessee or Lessor pursuant to this Lease shall
contain a clause denying the applicable insurer any right of subrogation against
the other party.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, this Lease has been duly executed and delivered
by Lessor and Lessee on the date indicated below.
