AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 3, 2005, is by and among AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“ATC”), ASTEROID MERGER SUB, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”) and a direct wholly owned Subsidiary of ATC, and SpectraSite, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SpectraSite”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware (the “DLLC Act”), ATC and SpectraSite will enter into a business combination transaction pursuant to which SpectraSite will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Company”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of SpectraSite (i) has determined that the Merger is consistent with and in furtherance of the long-term business strategy of SpectraSite, and in the best interests of SpectraSite and the holders of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “SpectraSite Common Stock”), and has approved and adopted this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and declared its advisability and (ii) has recommended that the stockholders of SpectraSite approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of ATC (i) has determined that the Merger is consistent with and in furtherance of the long-term business strategy of ATC, and in the best interests of ATC and its stockholders and has approved and adopted this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and declared its advisability and (ii) has recommended that the stockholders of ATC approve the issuance of ATC Common Stock in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby;

WHEREAS, the Board of Managers of Merger Sub (i) has determined that the Merger is in the best interests of Merger Sub and its sole member and has approved and adopted this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and declared its advisability and (ii) has recommended that ATC, as the sole member of Merger Sub, approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger;

WHEREAS, ATC, in its capacity as sole member of Merger Sub, has approved and adopted this Agreement and the Merger by unanimous written consent in accordance with the requirements of the DLLC Act;

WHEREAS, ATC may, prior to the Merger, contribute all of the membership units of interest in Merger Sub to another limited liability company wholly owned by ATC; and

WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended by ATC, Merger Sub and SpectraSite that (a) the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (b) this Agreement shall constitute a plan of reorganization, and (c) ATC and SpectraSite shall each be a party to such reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL and the DLLC Act, at the Effective Time, SpectraSite shall be merged with and into Merger Sub. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of SpectraSite shall cease and Merger Sub shall continue as the Surviving Company following the Merger. The existence of Merger Sub shall continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Merger and, as the Surviving Company, it shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware. At the option of ATC and in lieu of the otherwise applicable provisions of this Section 1.1, the Merger will consist of the merger of Merger Sub with and into SpectraSite, with SpectraSite as the Surviving Company; provided, that ATC shall not be entitled to exercise such right to the extent that it would result in the failure to be satisfied of the conditions set forth in either Section 6.2(d) or 6.3(d). In the event that ATC makes such an election, the parties shall discuss in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to agree on appropriate amendments to the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements contained herein to give effect to such change; provided, that if the parties do not so agree then the Merger shall be structured in the manner described in the first two sentences of this paragraph.

Section 1.2. Effective Time; Closing. As promptly as practicable (and in any event within three (3) business days) after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and by making all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL or the DLLC Act in connection with the Merger, in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the DGCL or the DLLC Act, as applicable. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such other time as the parties hereto agree and as shall be specified in the Certificate of Merger (the date and time the Merger becomes effective, the “Effective Time”). On the date of such filing, a closing (the “Closing”) shall be held at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at the offices of King & Spalding LLP, 0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, or at such other time and location as the parties hereto shall otherwise agree.

Section 1.3. Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the DLLC Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided herein, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of SpectraSite and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of SpectraSite and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.4. Certificate of Formation and Operating Agreement.

(a) The Certificate of Formation of Merger Sub in effect immediately preceding the Effective Time, which shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit 1.4(a), shall be the Certificate of Formation of the Surviving Company until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(b) The Operating Agreement of Merger Sub in effect immediately preceding the Effective Time, which shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit 1.4(b), shall be the Operating Agreement of the Surviving Company, until thereafter changed or amended or as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Section 1.5. Managers and Officers. From and after the Effective Time, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law, (a) the members of the board of managers of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall be the members of the board of managers of the Surviving Company, and (b) the officers of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Section 2.1. Effect on Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of ATC, Merger Sub, SpectraSite or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.1, each share of SpectraSite Common Stock (collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(b)) shall be canceled and shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof be converted automatically into the right to receive 3.575 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of ATC Class A Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all Shares converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (“Certificate”) representing any such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.1(a).

(b) Each Share held in treasury of SpectraSite and each Share owned directly by ATC, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be canceled without any conversion thereof, and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Each membership unit of interest in Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Units”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and unaffected by the Merger as identical units of interest in the Surviving Company and, following the Merger, shall constitute the only outstanding units of interest or other equity interests in the Surviving Company from and after the Effective Time.

Section 2.2. Stock Options; Warrants.

(a) ATC, effective as of the Effective Time, shall assume by operation of this Agreement the SpectraSite 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and the SpectraSite 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (together, the “SpectraSite Stock Option Plans”), and all stock options (the “SpectraSite Options”) outstanding, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, at the Effective Time under the SpectraSite Stock Option Plans, shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall result in the vesting (or other lapsing of similar restrictions in exercisability) of unvested options granted under the SpectraSite Stock Option Plans that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under, and only to the extent expressly provided for by the terms of, the SpectraSite Stock Option Plans and the related SpectraSite Options as outstanding and in effect on the date hereof or issued after the date hereof to the extent permitted by Section 5.1(b) (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the SpectraSite Stock Options Plans or in the SpectraSite Options (x) by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (y) to the extent permitted in accordance with Section 5.1(c)(vii)). The parties acknowledge that, under the terms of the SpectraSite Stock Option Plans, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of SpectraSite will determine whether the SpectraSite Performance Options (as defined in each stock option agreement for SpectraSite Stock Options (a “SpectraSite Option Agreement”)) that are unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time will become vested upon the Effective Time, which determination shall be made in accordance with the terms of the SpectraSite Options and the SpectraSite Stock Option Plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that if any SpectraSite Option provides for a Service Option (as defined in such SpectraSite Option Agreement), such Service Option will vest if the employment of the holder of such SpectraSite Option is terminated without Cause (as “Cause” is defined in the SpectraSite 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”)) at any time after the Effective Time but before the end of the one (1) year period which starts at the Effective Time (the “Protected Period”) or the employment of such SpectraSite Option holder terminates as a result of such SpectraSite Option holder’s resignation for Good Reason (as “Good Reason” is defined in the 2003 Plan) during the Protected Period. At the Effective Time, the SpectraSite Options shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further

action on the part of SpectraSite or the holder thereof, be assumed by ATC in such manner that ATC (i) is a corporation “assuming a stock option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) applies” within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code and the regulations thereunder or (ii) to the extent that Section 424 of the Code does not apply to any such SpectraSite Options, would be such a corporation were Section 424 of the Code applicable to any such SpectraSite Options. From and after the Effective Time, all references to SpectraSite in the SpectraSite Stock Option Plans and the applicable stock option agreements issued thereunder shall be deemed to refer to ATC. Each SpectraSite Option assumed by ATC (each, a “Substitute Option”) shall be exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as under the SpectraSite Stock Option Plans and the applicable option agreement issued thereunder, except that (A) each such Substitute Option shall be exercisable for, and represent the right to acquire, that whole number of shares of ATC Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the aggregate number of shares of SpectraSite Common Stock subject to such SpectraSite Option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio; and (B) the option price per share of ATC Common Stock shall be an amount equal to the option price per share of SpectraSite Common Stock subject to such SpectraSite Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (the option price per share, as so determined, being rounded upward to the nearest full cent). Such Substitute Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as such SpectraSite Option.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, ATC shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each holder of a Substitute Option an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant thereto and such Substitute Option shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (including any antidilution provisions, and subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.2 after giving effect to the Merger). ATC shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of ATC Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Substitute Options pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 2.2. ATC shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC and to cause to be effective prior to or at the Effective Time a registration statement on Form S-8 (or another appropriate form) registering under the SpectraSite Stock Option Plans all shares of ATC Common Stock subject to the Substitute Options. ATC shall use reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement effective and to keep the current status of the prospectus required thereby maintained as long as Substitute Options remain outstanding. In addition, ATC shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of ATC Common Stock subject to Substitute Options to be listed on the NYSE.

(c) As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and the conversion of the issued and outstanding shares of SpectraSite Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above, and without any action on the part of SpectraSite or ATC or the holder of the warrants issued and outstanding in connection with SpectraSite’s Plan of Reorganization that became effective on February 10, 2003, granting holders thereof the right to purchase shares of SpectraSite Common Stock (the “SpectraSite Warrants”), each SpectraSite Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, in accordance with and subject to the applicable provisions of such SpectraSite Warrant (i) remain outstanding after the Effective Time and (ii) be exercisable in accordance with the terms of such SpectraSite Warrant.

(d) Section 2.2(d) of the SpectraSite Disclosure Letter (hereinafter defined) sets forth a complete and correct list, as of May 2, 2005, of all SpectraSite Options, the number of shares of SpectraSite Common Stock (or other capital stock of SpectraSite) subject thereto, the grant dates, expiration dates, the exercise or base prices and vesting schedules thereof and the names of the holders thereof.

(e) On or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, each of ATC and SpectraSite shall take all necessary actions as may be required to cause any dispositions of SpectraSite Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to SpectraSite Common Stock) or acquisitions of ATC Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to ATC Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each director or officer who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, to be exempt from the short-swing profit liability rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder. Such actions shall be consistent with all current

applicable interpretation and guidance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including, but not limited to, the No-Action letter dated January 12, 1999, issued by the SEC to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP.

Section 2.3. Restricted Stock. Any shares of SpectraSite Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are subject to a repurchase option or risk of forfeiture under the SpectraSite Stock Option Plans shall, by operation of this Agreement, be exchanged for shares of ATC Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as the shares of SpectraSite Common Stock that are not subject to any repurchase option or risk of forfeiture in accordance with Section 2.1; provided, however, that, to the extent that such shares do not, by their terms, become vested and cease to be subject to any such repurchase option or risk of forfeiture as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such shares shall, following the Effective Time, be subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture as set forth in the agreement pursuant to which such shares were granted. Section 2.3 of the SpectraSite Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and correct list, as of the date hereof, of all SpectraSite Common Stock subject to any such repurchase option or other risk of forfeiture, the grant dates, expiration dates of such repurchase options or other risk of forfeiture or “vesting schedules” thereof and the names of the holders thereof.

Section 2.4. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, ATC shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company that may be designated by ATC as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, (i) certificates representing the shares of ATC Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and (ii) cash, from time to time as required to make payments in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.4(e) (such cash and certificates for shares of ATC Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the shares of ATC Common Stock and cash contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and this Section 2.4(a) out of the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated by Section 2.4(g) hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, ATC shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to such letter of transmittal. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor: (A) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of ATC Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate after taking into account all Shares then held by such holder, and (B) cash in lieu of any fractional shares of ATC Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable pursuant to Section 2.4(c) or (e). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of SpectraSite, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of ATC Common Stock and a check for cash in lieu of any fractional shares of ATC Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(e) and for any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(c) may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.4, each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right

to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration, the cash in lieu of any fractional shares of ATC Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(c).

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the ATC Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of SpectraSite Common Stock represented thereby, until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of escheat, tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of ATC Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of ATC Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such whole shares of ATC Common Stock.

(d) No Further Rights in SpectraSite Common Stock. All cash paid and shares of ATC Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.4(c) or (e)) shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares.

(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or script representing fractional shares of ATC Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional shares interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of ATC. Each holder of Shares exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of ATC Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, upon surrender of such holder’s Certificates in accordance with this Section 2.4, an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) such fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by (ii) the average of the per share closing prices on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of shares of ATC Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Effective Time. As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall so notify ATC, and ATC shall deposit such amount with the Exchange Agent and shall cause the Exchange Agent to forward payments to such holders of fractional share interests subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4(b).

(f) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into ATC Common Stock or SpectraSite Common Stock), cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to ATC Common Stock or SpectraSite Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of the SpectraSite Common Stock for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to ATC, upon demand, and any holders of the SpectraSite Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look solely to ATC with respect to the Merger Consideration payable or issuable upon due surrender of their Certificates, and any other cash amounts payable pursuant to this Article II, without any interest thereon. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares as of a date which is immediately prior to such times as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of ATC free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(h) No Liability. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any holder of Certificates for any such Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Company, ATC and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by ATC or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made by ATC or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

(j) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by ATC, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as ATC may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of ATC Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(e) and any dividend or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(c).

Section 2.5. Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of SpectraSite shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares thereafter on the records of SpectraSite. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or ATC for any reason shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of ATC Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(c).

Section 2.6. Forms of SpectraSite Options and SpectraSite Restricted Stock Awards. Prior to the date hereof, SpectraSite has made available to ATC correct and complete copies of the form of each stock option agreement or restricted stock award that evidences any outstanding SpectraSite Options, restricted stock grants or other compensatory stock awards, and no stock option agreement or restricted stock purchase agreement or other award agreement that governs any such SpectraSite Options, restricted stock grants or other compensatory stock awards contains terms that are materially inconsistent with such forms.

None of the SpectraSite SEC Reports (including, any financial statements or schedules included or incorporated by reference therein) contained when filed, and any SpectraSite SEC Reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date hereof will not contain, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent updated, amended, restated or corrected by a subsequent SpectraSite Filed SEC Report. The principal executive officer of SpectraSite and the principal financial officer of SpectraSite (and each former principal executive officer of SpectraSite and each former principal financial officer of SpectraSite, as applicable) have made the certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of, and SpectraSite has complied in all material respects with, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to SpectraSite’s filings pursuant to the Exchange Act.

(d) SpectraSite’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are reasonably designed to ensure that all material information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by SpectraSite in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to SpectraSite’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of SpectraSite required under the Exchange Act with respect to such reports.

(e) Neither SpectraSite nor any of the SpectraSite Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any kind whatsoever, whether or not accrued and whether or not contingent or absolute, that are material to SpectraSite and the SpectraSite Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than (i) liabilities or obligations disclosed or provided for in the consolidated balance sheet of SpectraSite and the SpectraSite Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, including the notes thereto, contained in the SpectraSite Filed SEC Reports, (ii) liabilities or obligations incurred on behalf of SpectraSite in connection with this Agreement and the contemplated Merger, (iii) liabilities or obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since January 1, 2005, and (iv) other liabilities or obligations that are not otherwise covered by insurance that were not, or would not reasonably be expected to be, material and adverse to the businesses of SpectraSite and the SpectraSite Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 3.9. Taxes.

(a) Each of SpectraSite and the SpectraSite Subsidiaries has duly filed all tax returns and reports required to be filed by it or has been granted extensions to file such returns or reports, which extensions have not expired, except to the extent that all such failures to file, taken together, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SpectraSite and each of the SpectraSite Subsidiaries have paid (or SpectraSite has paid on its behalf) all taxes (i) shown as due on such returns or (ii) otherwise due and payable, except for those taxes (x) being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in the financial statements included in the SpectraSite Filed SEC Reports in accordance with GAAP or (y) that have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. There are no Liens for any taxes upon the assets of SpectraSite or the SpectraSite Subsidiaries, other than (i) statutory Liens for taxes not yet due and payable, (ii) Liens for taxes contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and (iii) Liens that are not, and would not reasonably be expected to be, material to the businesses of SpectraSite and the SpectraSite Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b) No deficiencies for any taxes have been proposed, asserted or assessed in writing against SpectraSite or any of the SpectraSite Subsidiaries that are not adequately reserved for, except for deficiencies that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such taxes have been granted or are pending (other than with respect to years that are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authorities).

(c) Neither SpectraSite nor any of the SpectraSite Subsidiaries has taken any action or has any knowledge of any fact or circumstance that is reasonably likely to prevent the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.

(d) Neither SpectraSite nor any of the SpectraSite Subsidiaries has constituted either a “distributing corporation” or a “controlled corporation” (within the meaning of Section 355(a)(1)(A)) in a distribution of stock qualifying for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code (i) in the two years prior to the date of this Agreement or (ii) in a distribution which could otherwise constitute part of a “plan” or “series of related transactions” (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) in conjunction with the Merger.

(a) Each of ATC and the ATC Subsidiaries has filed all forms, reports, statements and documents required to be filed with the SEC since February 10, 2003 (the “ATC SEC Reports”), each of which has complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, each as in effect on the date so filed, except to the extent updated, amended, restated or corrected by a subsequent ATC SEC Report filed or furnished to the SEC by ATC, and in either case, publicly available prior to the date hereof (each, a “ATC Filed SEC Report”). None of the ATC SEC Reports (including, any financial statements or schedules included or incorporated by reference therein) contained when filed, and any ATC SEC Reports filed

with the SEC subsequent to the date hereof will not contain, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent updated, amended, restated or corrected by a subsequent ATC Filed SEC Report. The principal executive officer of ATC and the principal financial officer of ATC (and each former principal executive officer of ATC and each former principal financial officer of ATC, as applicable) have made the certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of, and ATC has complied in all material respects with, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to ATC’s filings pursuant to the Exchange Act. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.

(b) Except to the extent updated, amended, restated or corrected by a subsequent ATC Filed SEC Report, all of the financial statements included in the ATC SEC Reports, in each case, including any related notes thereto, as filed with the SEC (those filed with the SEC are collectively referred to as the “ATC Financial Statements”), have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of the unaudited statements, as may be permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC and subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments which would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect).

(d) ATC’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are reasonably designed to ensure that all material information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by ATC in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to ATC’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of ATC required under the Exchange Act with respect to such reports.

ATC and each of the ATC Subsidiaries have paid (or ATC has paid on its behalf) all taxes (i) shown as due on such returns or (ii) otherwise due and payable, except for those taxes (x) being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in the financial statements included in the ATC Filed SEC Reports in accordance with GAAP or (y) that have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10. Change of Control Agreement; No Excess Parachute Payment. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) result in, cause the accelerated vesting or delivery of, or increase the amount or value of, any payment or benefit to any director, officer or employee of ATC or any ATC Subsidiary. No amount paid or payable by ATC or any ATC Subsidiary in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including accelerated vesting of options (either solely as a result thereof or as a result of such transactions in conjunction with any other event), will be an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. Neither ATC nor any ATC Subsidiary has any obligation to pay or otherwise reimburse any person for paying any tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do, or cause to be done, and cooperate to do all things necessary, proper or advisable under Law to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using all reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain all licenses, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of each Governmental Entity and parties to contracts with SpectraSite and SpectraSite Subsidiaries or ATC and ATC Subsidiaries as are necessary for the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fulfill the conditions set forth in Article VI, (ii) make all required regulatory filings and applications, (iii) defend all lawsuits or other legal proceedings and contest and resist any action challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) cause to be lifted or rescinded any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (v) cause the conditions set forth in Article VI to be satisfied. No party hereto shall take any action that would prohibit or materially impair or delay the ability of any party to obtain any necessary approvals of any Governmental Entity required for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers of each party to this Agreement and the Surviving Company shall use all reasonable best efforts to take all such action.

(b) In connection with, and without limiting the foregoing, each of ATC and SpectraSite and each of their Board of Directors shall (i) take all actions necessary to ensure that no state anti-takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes operative with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) if any state anti-takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes operative with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, take all actions necessary to ensure that this Agreement, the Merger and any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each of SpectraSite and ATC shall, in connection with its obligation to use reasonable best efforts to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or any other federal, state or foreign antitrust or fair trade law, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, (ii) promptly inform the other party of any communication received by such party from or given by such party to, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) or any other Governmental Entity and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) permit the other party, or the other party’s legal counsel, to review any communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, the DOJ, the FTC or any such other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other person and (iv) give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences.

(d) If any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under any Law or if any suit is instituted by any Governmental Entity or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of any Law, each of ATC and SpectraSite shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objections or challenge as such Governmental Entity or private party may have to such transactions under such Law so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Section 5.5, “reasonable best efforts” shall include, as necessary, the obligation to enter into a settlement, undertaking, consent decree, stipulation or other agreement with a Governmental Entity

regarding antitrust matters that requires a party to divest or hold separate any of its or its subsidiaries’ assets; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require or be deemed to require (i) ATC or SpectraSite to agree to, or proffer to, divest or hold separate any assets or any portion of any business of ATC and the ATC Subsidiaries (after giving effect to the Merger) or agree to any restriction, condition or other limitation on the conduct of their respective businesses, to the extent that doing so would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Combined Company Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) SpectraSite or ATC to agree to, or proffer to, divest or hold separate any assets or any portion of any business of SpectraSite or any of the SpectraSite Subsidiaries or ATC or any of the ATC Subsidiaries or agree to any material restriction, condition or other limitation on the conduct of their respective businesses, as the case may be, or take any other similar action, that is not conditional on the consummation of the Merger. The term “Combined Company Material Adverse Effect” means a Material Adverse Effect, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on ATC and the ATC Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that SpectraSite and the SpectraSite Subsidiaries shall constitute Subsidiaries of ATC for purposes of determining the existence of a Combined Company Material Adverse Effect.

(f) ATC shall perform, or cause to be performed, when due all obligations of Merger Sub under this Agreement.

Section 5.6. No Solicitation.

(a) SpectraSite.

(i) SpectraSite shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of the SpectraSite Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate or encourage, or take any other action designed to, or which would reasonably be expected to, facilitate, any SpectraSite Takeover Proposal or (B) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information, or otherwise cooperate with, any SpectraSite Takeover Proposal. SpectraSite shall, and shall cause the SpectraSite Subsidiaries and its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any SpectraSite Takeover Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the SpectraSite Stockholder Approval, in response to a bona fide written SpectraSite Takeover Proposal that the Board of Directors of SpectraSite determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a SpectraSite Superior Proposal, and which SpectraSite Takeover Proposal was not solicited after the date hereof, was made after the date hereof and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.6(a)(i), SpectraSite may, if its Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that it is required to do so to comply with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of SpectraSite under applicable Law, and subject to compliance with this Section 5.6(a)(i) and after giving ATC written notice of such determination, (x) furnish information with respect to SpectraSite and the SpectraSite Subsidiaries to the person making such SpectraSite Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of such person than the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that (1) all such information has previously been provided to ATC or is provided to ATC prior to the time it is provided to such person and (2) such customary confidentiality agreement expressly provides the right for SpectraSite to comply with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 5.6(a)(iii), and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such SpectraSite Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such SpectraSite Takeover Proposal.

The term “SpectraSite Takeover Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person relating to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase, in one transaction or a series of transactions, of assets or businesses that constitute 20% or more of the revenues, net income, EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) or the assets of SpectraSite and the SpectraSite Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or 20% or more of any class of

equity securities of SpectraSite, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity securities of SpectraSite, or any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture, binding share exchange or similar transaction involving SpectraSite pursuant to which any person or the stockholders of any person would own 20% or more of any class of equity securities of SpectraSite or of any resulting parent company of SpectraSite, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The term “SpectraSite Superior Proposal” means a SpectraSite Takeover Proposal (provided that for purposes of this definition references to 20% in the definition of “SpectraSite Takeover Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to 50%) which the Board of Directors of SpectraSite determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) to be (i) more favorable to the stockholders of SpectraSite than the Merger, taking into account all relevant factors (including all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by ATC in response to such offer or otherwise)) and (ii) reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the SpectraSite Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of SpectraSite may make a SpectraSite Adverse Recommendation Change described in clause (A)(2) above if such Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that it is required to do so to comply with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of SpectraSite under applicable Law; provided, however, that no such SpectraSite Adverse Recommendation Change may be made until after the fifth calendar day following ATC’s receipt of written notice (a “SpectraSite Notice of Adverse Recommendation”) from SpectraSite advising ATC that the Board of Directors of SpectraSite intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor, including the terms and conditions of any SpectraSite Superior Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the Board of Directors of SpectraSite (it being understood and agreed that (x) any amendment to any material term of such SpectraSite Superior Proposal or (y) with respect to any previous SpectraSite Adverse Recommendation Change, any material change in the principal stated rationale by the Board of Directors of SpectraSite for such previous SpectraSite Adverse Recommendation Change, shall, in the case of either (x) or (y), require a new SpectraSite Notice of Adverse Recommendation and a new five (5) calendar day period).

(including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person making any such SpectraSite Takeover Proposal or inquiry and (B) SpectraSite shall (1) keep ATC fully and promptly informed of the status and material details (including any change to any material term thereof) of any such SpectraSite Takeover Proposal or inquiry and (2) provide to ATC promptly after receipt or delivery thereof with copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to SpectraSite or any of the SpectraSite Subsidiaries from any person that describes any of the terms or conditions of any SpectraSite Takeover Proposal.

(iv) Nothing contained in this Section 5.6(a) shall prohibit SpectraSite from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14(e)-2(a) or Rule 14(d)-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to SpectraSite’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of SpectraSite, after consultation with independent outside counsel, failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with applicable Law; provided, however, that all actions taken or agreed to be taken by SpectraSite or the Board of Directors of SpectraSite or any committee thereof shall comply with the provisions of Section 5.6(a)(ii).

(b) ATC.

(i) ATC shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of the ATC Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate or encourage, or take any other action designed to, or which would reasonably be expected to, facilitate, any ATC Takeover Proposal or (B) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information, or otherwise cooperate with, any ATC Takeover Proposal. ATC shall, and shall cause the ATC Subsidiaries and its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any ATC Takeover Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the ATC Stockholder Approval, in response to a bona fide written ATC Takeover Proposal that the Board of Directors of ATC determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an ATC Superior Proposal, and which ATC Takeover Proposal was not solicited after the date hereof, was made after the date hereof and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.6(b)(i), ATC may, if its Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that it is required to do so to comply with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of ATC under applicable Law, and subject to compliance with this Section 5.6(b)(i) and after giving SpectraSite written notice of such determination, (x) furnish information with respect to ATC and the ATC Subsidiaries to the person making such ATC Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of such person than the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that (1) all such information has previously been provided to SpectraSite or is provided to SpectraSite prior to the time it is provided to such person and (2) such customary confidentiality agreement expressly provides the right for ATC to comply with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 5.6(b)(iii), and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such ATC Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such ATC Takeover Proposal.

ATC agrees that any claims for indemnification hereunder as to which they have received written notice prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time shall survive, whether or not such claims shall have been finally adjudicated or settled as of such date.

(b) ATC shall cause the Surviving Company to, and the Surviving Company shall, maintain in effect for six years from the Effective Time, if available, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) containing the coverages, terms, conditions and limitations contained in the policies currently maintained by SpectraSite (provided that the Surviving Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are not materially less favorable) with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Company be required to expend pursuant to this Section 5.8(b) more than an amount per year equal to two hundred percent (200%) of current annual premiums paid by SpectraSite for the D&O Insurance.

Section 5.21. Warrant Agreement. Promptly following the Effective Time, ATC shall, as required by Section 12 of the SpectraSite Warrant Agreement, dated February 10, 2003 (the “Warrant Agreement”), execute a supplement thereto and cause the notification to holders of SpectraSite Warrants as required by Section 12 of the Warrant Agreement. ATC shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued ATC Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance and delivery upon exercise of the SpectraSite Warrants in accordance with their terms, such number of shares of ATC Common Stock as shall then be issuable or deliverable upon exercise of all outstanding but unexercised SpectraSite Warrants.

Xxxxx, Xxxxx and Xxxxxx or (ii) prevent ATC or the Surviving Company from terminating any Covered Employee for “cause” (as such term is defined in the SpectraSite Executive Severance Plan B).

(c) For purposes of determining eligibility to participate in, and non-forfeitable rights under, any employee benefit plan or arrangement of ATC or the Surviving Company, Covered Employees shall receive service credit for service with SpectraSite (and with any predecessor or acquired entities or any other entities for SpectraSite granted service credit) as if such service had been completed with ATC.

(d) To the extent applicable, ATC shall or shall cause the Surviving Company to waive or cause its insurance carriers to waive any pre-existing condition limitation on participation and coverage applicable to any Covered Employee or any of his or her covered dependents under any ATC or Surviving Company health or welfare plan (a “New Plan”) in which such Covered Employee or covered dependent shall become eligible to participate after the Effective Time to the extent such Covered Employee or covered dependent was no longer subject to such pre-existing condition limitation under the corresponding SpectraSite Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee or such covered dependent was participating immediately before he or she became eligible to participate in the New Plan. ATC shall or shall cause the Surviving Company to provide each Covered Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time and during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs under any SpectraSite Benefit Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment and deductible requirements for such calendar year under any New Plan in which such Covered Employee participates after the Effective Time.

(f) ATC shall or shall cause the Surviving Company to assume and honor in accordance with their terms all severance and termination plans and agreements (including change in control provisions) applicable to Covered Employees set forth in Section 3.14 of the SpectraSite Disclosure Letter.

(g) Without limiting the scope of Section 8.1, nothing in this Section 5.22 shall confer any rights or remedies of any kind or description upon any Covered Employee or any other person other than SpectraSite and ATC and their respective successors and assigns.
