which the City shall process in accordance with the applicable City ordinances. On making such
modifications, Company shall provide to City updated “as built” planning and engineering
drawings as specified in paragraph 6(b). Modifications that result in additional visible equipment
on the Structure or changes to the space requirements described in Exhibit C, may result in a
demand for an increased.license fee, which demand Company shall timely consider. In the event
that the City and Company do not agree on the amount of an appropriate increased license fee,
City and Company agree that the issue shall be submitted to a mutually agreeable arbitrator, or in
lieu of a mutually agreeable arbitrator, to an arbitrator chosen by a Judge of the Waukesha
County (Wisconsin) Circuit Court, to determine the amount of the increased license fee that is
appropriate due to the modifications, and the arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon
the City and the Company. Any increased license fee shall be paid in full, including all resulting
increases through the remainder of the term, at the time that the modification is made.

from the Structure at any time, for any reason, then the City shall have the ability to require
modification of the installation plans shown in Exhibit C regarding the re-installation of the
Communications Facilities. Company shall comply with all such modifications at Company’s
expense. In the event Company concludes that the modification is not acceptable due to
engineering concerns or due to the cost being unreasonably disproportionate to the benefit, and
the Company and the City are unable to reach agreement, then the matter shall be submitted to a
mutually agreeable arbitrator, or in lieu of a mutually agreeable arbitrator, to an arbitrator chosen
by a Judge of the Waukesha County (Wisconsin) Circuit Court. The arbitrator shall determine
(1) whether the proposed modification provides the same or better ability to attach and operate
the Communications Facilities on the Structure, as does the original plan; and (2) whether the
cost of the modification is unreasonably disproportionate to the benefit. If the answer to issue (I)
is in the affirmative, and issue (2) in the negative, the modification shall be required. If the
answer to issue (1) is in the affirmative, and issue (2) in the affirmative, then the arbitrator shall
determine a reasonable amount that shall be required for Company to pay if the modification
were required, and the City, at its option, may agree to pay the balance and require the
modification. In all other cases, the modification shall not be required, and the re-installation 0 shall be done at Company’s expense in accordance with the plans existing prior to the proposed
modification.

under Paragraph 7, Company shall provide studies consistent with Federal requirements and the
Company's license obligations to determine whether Company's proposed installation or
modification will interfere with the electronic equipment of City, other licensees of the City, or
nearby property owners. Prior to the installation of any equipment on the Structure pursuant to
Paragraph 6 and prior to the installation on the Structure pursuant to Paragraph 7 of any
additional equipment or replacement equipment which is significantly greater in size, weight or
volume than the existing equipment, Company will also provide City with a Wisconsin PE
stamped structural engineering study to determine whether the proposed installation or
modification will adversely affect the structural integrity of any part of the Structure. Upon
City's request, Company will pay for an independent review of that structural engineering study
by a reviewer of the City's choice.

expense, promptly and diligently remove all of the Communications Facilities and any other
personal property installed in or on the Premises and leave the Premises in the same or better
condition as existed prior to the date of this Agreement, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

governmental approval of the location or authority is canceled, expires or is withdrawn or
terminated and Company is no longer authorized to operate its Communication Facilities from
the Premises; (ii) due to changes in technology or other events beyond company’s control,
Company is no longer able to utilize the Premises for its Communication Facilities; (iii) City
requires relocation pursuant to paragraph 23 of this Agreement. If Company provides written
notice of this termination at least one year before the termination date, then Company shall not be
liable to pay a license fee for any time period beyond the termination date, then Company shall
not be liable to pay a license fee for any time period beyond the termination date, and the City
shall return to Company the pro-rated amount of any pre-paid license fees for any period of time

previous condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, at termination or expiration of this
Agreement. For purpose hereof, “Security Mechanism” shall mean either (at Company’s
election): (i) a security deposit posted with City; (ii) an irrevocable letter of credit; or (iii) an
escrow deposit established with a title company - any such security deposit, letter of credit or
escrow deposit to be in the amount of Ten Thousand Dollars (%lO,OOO.OO).
12
b. In the event Company establishes a Security Mechanism by posting a security
deposit with City, City shall not be responsible for paying interest on said deposit. In the event
Company establishes a Security Mechanism by establishing an escrow, interest accruing on said
deposit shall be payable to Company from time to time.
c. City shall have the right to approve the title company and the form of escrow
agreement with respect to any such escrow or the issuing bank and form of letter of credit with
respect to any such letter of credit, if applicable. Any such escrow agreement or letter of credit
shall, in part, include provisions that said agreement or letter of credit, as the case may be, cannot
be terminated without the prior written consent of the City and a provision that the title company
or issuer, as the case may be, pay all monies held in said account to the City upon receipt of a
written statement by the City certifying that the Communications Facilities have not been
removed and the Premises restored to its previous condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted,
at the termination of this Agreement.
d. Company may, from time to time, substitute for the then-existing Security
Mechanism one of the other two types of Security Mechanism described herein and City shall
cooperate in connection with each such substitution.
e. Upon final satisfaction of Company’s removal obligations described in this
Paragraph, all funds in the escrow or the letter of credit or the security deposit, as the case may be,
shall be promptly returned to Company.
0 23. Relocation. In the event of unforeseeable and unusual circumstances, or the City’s
determination of a need of the Property for a special use per Paragraph 21 (b), City may, once
during the term of this Agreement, including any renewal terms of this Agreement, at its option,
require Company to relocate the Communications Facilities, to another location on the Property, or,
to other property owned or controlled by City that is located in the general vicinity of the Premises
and reasonably suitable for Company’s Communications Facilities, as determined by the Company,
which new location shall then constitute the Property, Structure and Premises. City shall be
responsible for 100% of the relocation costs if relocation is required during the first year of the
initial term of this Agreement; 90% of the relocation costs if relocation is required during the
second year of the initial term of this Agreement; 80% of the relocation costs if relocation is
required during the third year of the initial term of this Agreement; 70% of the relocation costs if

of any anticipated events or occurrences that may result in relocation during the renewal term then
being negotiated.

invoice, reimburse City for its pro-rata share of all reasonable costs and expenses of any type City

Agreement, including Paragraphs lo@), 11, 13, and 14, shall survive the expiration of earlier
termination of this Agreement.

subordinate to any and all mortgages, including all extensions, renewals, amendments, and
supplements thereto now or hereafter affecting any part of the Property. Company agrees to
execute and deliver promptly any instrument requested by City or any mortgagee or trustee to
further confine the subordination of this Agreement to a particular mortgage, provided that such
agreement contains reasonable consent and nondisturbance provisions to Company’s continued
right to use the Premises in accordance with this Agreement in the event that the mortgagee or
trustee takes control of the Property.
28. Estoppel Certificate. Company shall, at any time and from time to time upon not
less than ten (10) days prior request by City, deliver to City a statement in writing certifying to
the extent true that (i) this Agreement is unmodified and in full force (or if there have been
modifications, that the Agreement is in full force as modified and identifying the modifications);

powers.

short form memorandum of this Agreement outlining the basic provisions of this Agreement

terms mutually agreed upon by the parties.
3 1. Applicable Law and Severability. This Agreement and any interpretation thereof
shall be ruled by the internal laws (not the choice of law provisions) of the State of Wisconsin. If
one or more of the terms hereof are found to be void or invalid, those terms shall be deemed
inoperative and null and void, and shall be deemed modified to conform to such rule of law, all
without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the enforceability
thereof, which shall continue in full force and effect.
32. Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
14
understanding of the parties, and supersedes all offers, negotiations, and other agreements of any
kind. There are no representations or understandings of any kind not set forth herein. Any
modification of or amendment to this Agreement must be in writing and executed by both parties.
