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 the
Schedules, but will not be required to so comply with respect to the equipment

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

----------------------------------------------------------------
(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

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

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.

-----------------
days of date due and such failure continues for five (5) days after written

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

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

-----------------
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.
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
4
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.
