Certain terms used in this Agreement have the respective meanings

---------
Pinnacle Towers, the Fund, Wolsey, Dell'Apa, Xxxxx and the Xxxxx Trust
are parties to a Subscription and Stockholders Agreement dated as of April 17,
1995, amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of May 3, 1995 and further
amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Subscription and Stockholders
Agreement dated as of December 31, 1995 (the "Original Agreement") whereby the
------------------
Fund, Wolsey, Dell'Apa, Xxxxx and the Xxxxx Trust (the "Initial Stockholders")
--------------------

of Pinnacle Towers held by such Initial Stockholder, in return for shares of

Therefore, the parties hereto agree that the Original Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
ARTICLE 1

1.1 INITIAL SHARE ACQUISITIONS. On May 3, 1995 (the "Closing Date"):
-------------------------- ------------
(A) BY THE FUND. The Fund acquired from Pinnacle Towers, and Pinnacle
-----------

Stock, and in consideration for such shares the Fund contributed to
Pinnacle Towers cash in the amount of $3,500,000.
(B) BY THE INITIAL EXECUTIVES. Each of Wolsey, Dell'Apa, Xxxxx and
-------------------------

to each of them, the number of shares of Pinnacle Towers' Class B Common
Stock, and the number of shares of Pinnacle Towers' Class D Common Stock,
set forth opposite their respective names on the attached Exhibit B-1, and
-----------
in consideration for the issuance of such shares each of them contributed
to Pinnacle Towers cash in the amount set forth opposite his name on the
attached Exhibit B-1.
-----------
All of the shares of Class D Common Stock of Pinnacle Towers described in clause
(b) above were Unvested Shares upon their issuance and were Unvested Shares at
the time of their contribution to the Company as described in Section 1.2.
1.2 CONTRIBUTIONS ON DECEMBER 31, 1995. On December 31, 1995,
----------------------------------
pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and effective as of the Effective Time,
each of the Fund, Wolsey, Dell'Apa, Xxxxx and the Xxxxx Trust contributed to the
capital of the Company the shares of Pinnacle Towers' capital stock acquired by
such Person as described in Section 11 and, in consideration for such
contribution, was issued the shares of capital stock of the Company set forth
opposite such Person's name of the attached Exhibit B-2. On the date of this
-----------
Agreement and as of the Effective Time, all shares of Class D Common so issued
are Unvested Shares, and may become Vested Shares pursuant to Section 2.1.
1.3 ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
--------------------------------
(A) INITIAL COMMITTED CONTRIBUTIONS. In order to fund all or a
-------------------------------
portion of the acquisition of any assets or business by the Company,
operating costs of the Company, or for any other purpose which the Board
has approved or may approve, the Fund has made, and from time to time on or
prior to May 3, 1998 may make, additional contributions to the Company's
capital in an aggregate amount not to exceed $16,500,000 (collectively, the
"Initial Committed Contributions"). In consideration for each $100.00
-------------------------------
contributed by the Fund in any Initial Committed Contribution, the Company
has issued or will issue to the Fund one share of Class A Common.
(B) SECONDARY COMMITTED CONTRIBUTIONS. In order to fund all or a
---------------------------------
portion of the acquisition of any assets or business by the Company,
operating costs of the Company, or for any other purpose which the Board
has approved or may approve, the Fund has made, and from time to time on or
prior
-2-
to the third anniversary of the Closing Date may make, additional
contributions to the Company's capital in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$30,000,000 (collectively, the "Secondary Committed Contributions" and
---------------------------------
together with the Initial Committed Contributions, the "Committed
---------
Contributions"). In consideration for each $100.00 contributed by the Fund
-------------
in any Secondary Committed Contribution, the Company has issued or will
issue to the Fund one share of Class E Common.
1.4 CONVERSION OF CLASS D COMMON. On the Conversion Date, each
----------------------------
holder of Class D Common will convert all shares of Class D Common held by such
holder into shares of Class C Common in accordance with the Company Charter.
All Class C Common issued upon conversion of shares of Class D Common which are
Vested Shares immediately prior to such conversion will be Vested Shares
immediately after such conversion. All shares of Class C Common issued upon the
conversion of shares of Class D Common which are Unvested Shares immediately
prior to such conversion will be Unvested Shares immediately after such
conversion.
For example, if immediately prior to conversion there are
outstanding 2,000 shares of Class D Common which are Vested
Shares, 8,000 shares of Class D Common which are Unvested Shares,
68,000 shares of Class A Common and 12,000 shares of Class B
Common, then 20,000 shares of Class C Common will be issuable
upon such conversion, and 4,000 of those shares of Class C Common
will be Vested Shares upon conversion and the remaining 16,000
shares of Class C Common will be Unvested Shares upon conversion.
1.5 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.
-----------------
(A) GENERAL RIGHT. Except for any Exempt Issuance, if the Company
-------------
authorizes the issuance or sale of any Common Equivalents, then the Company
will give each Stockholder which owns Non-Incentive Common Shares written notice
offering to sell to that Stockholder a portion of such Common Equivalents equal
to that Stockholder's Ownership Percentage. Such notice will describe in
reasonable detail the Common Equivalents being offered, the purchase price, the
payment terms and such Stockholder's Ownership Percentage. Each Stockholder
which holds Non-Incentive Common Shares will be entitled to purchase those
Common Equivalents at the same price and on the same other terms as those Common
Equivalents are issued to other Persons; provided that, if other Persons
--------
purchasing or receiving Common Equivalents are required to also purchase other
securities of the Company or any other Person, then the Stockholders exercising
their rights under this Section 1.5 will also be required to purchase the same
strip of securities (on the same terms and conditions) that such other Persons
are required to purchase.
-3-
(B) METHOD OF EXERCISE. In order to exercise its purchase rights
------------------
under this Section 1.5, a Stockholder must, within 10 Business Days after
receipt of the written notice described in Section 1.5(a), deliver a written
notice to the Company stating that such Stockholder is electing to purchase
Common Equivalents and stating the maximum quantity of Common Equivalents for
which that Stockholder will subscribe. If any Stockholder does not elect to
purchase the full amount of that Stockholder's Ownership Percentage of the
Common Equivalents to be issued, then the unpurchased Common Equivalents will be
allocated to those other Stockholders who have elected to purchase their full
allotment, pro rata according to their respective Ownership Percentages, until
either all of the Common Equivalents being offered have been allocated or each
subscribing Stockholder has been allocated the entire quantity of Common
Equivalents for which that Stockholder has subscribed.
(C) SALE TO OTHERS. During the 180 days after the end of the 10-day
--------------
offering period described in Section 1.5(b), the Company will be entitled to
sell any Common Equivalents which the Stockholders which hold Non-Incentive
Common Shares have not elected to purchase, on terms and conditions no more
favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to those Stockholders.
Any Common Equivalents offered or sold by the Company after such 180-day period
must be reoffered in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.5 to the
Stockholders which hold Non-Incentive Common Shares.
(D) TERMINATION. The rights of the Stockholders under this Section
-----------
1.5 will terminate upon an IPO.
1.6 EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT. To the extent that it has not already
---------------------
done so, the Company will reimburse each of the Fund, Wolsey, Dell'Apa and Xxxxx
for the direct out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Stockholder in
connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of the Transaction
Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, and
will reimburse Wolsey, Dell'Apa and Xxxxx for certain start-up and other
expenses incurred by them prior to the Closing Date, a description of which is
attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C. To the extent they are not yet known
---------
or quantified, the Company will reimburse such items promptly after a report
thereof is furnished to the Company and the Fund.

ARTICLE 2
VESTING OF UNVESTED SHARES;
REPURCHASE OF EXECUTIVE SHARES; TRANSFER OF SHARES GENERALLY;
SALE OR REORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
2.1 VESTING OF UNVESTED SHARES.
--------------------------
(A) SCHEDULED VESTING. On each anniversary of the Closing Date
-----------------
which is specified below and on which any Executive is an employee of the
Company or Pinnacle Towers, the "Fraction" specified below of the Incentive
Shares for that Executive which are then Unvested Shares (whether or not then
held by that Executive) became or will become Vested Shares:
Anniversary of the
Closing Date: Fraction
-------------------- --------
First 1/10
Second 1/9
Third 1/8
Fourth 2/7
Fifth 1/2
Sixth 1/1/1/
For example, if 10,000 Unvested Shares are issued to an Executive
on the Closing Date and that Executive is an employee of the
Company or Pinnacle Towers on each of the first, second, third,
fourth, fifth and sixth anniversaries of the Closing Date, then
on such anniversaries the following number of those shares will
become Vested Shares, respectively: 1,000, 1,000, 1,000, 2,000,
2,500 and 2,500.
For all purposes relevant to this Agreement, "employment" by the Company or
Pinnacle Towers with respect to the Xxxxx Trust will refer to employment of
Xxxxx by the Company or Pinnacle Towers (the intention of the parties being that
in all respects the treatment of any Shares held by the Xxxxx Trust will be the
same as the treatment which would have been afforded those Shares under this
Agreement if they had been owned by Xxxxx).
(B) ACCELERATED VESTING. Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), upon any
-------------------
IPO or Sale of the Company, all Unvested Shares for any Executive which is then
an employee of the Company or Pinnacle Towers (whether or not then held by that
Executive) will become Vested Shares.
_________________________
/1/i.e., all Unvested Shares for any Executive will become Vested Shares if that
Executive is an employee of the Company or Pinnacle Towers on the sixth
anniversary of the Closing Date.
-5-
(C) EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Notwithstanding Sections
-----------------------------------
2.1(a) and 2.1, all Incentive Shares for any Executive (whether or not then held
by that Executive) will become (or remain) Unvested Shares upon the termination
of that Executive's employment with the Company and Pinnacle Towers either (i)
by the Company, Pinnacle Towers or by that Executive for any reason or for no
reason (other than by reason of such Executive's death or permanent disability)
prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) by reason of Cause at
any time prior to, on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date.
2.2 REPURCHASE OF EXECUTIVE SHARES: CALL OPTION
--------------------------------------------
(A) CALL OPTION. If any Executive ceases to be employed by the
-----------
Company and Pinnacle Towers/2/ for any reason or for no reason (the cessation of
an Executive's employment being a "Termination"), then the Executive Shares for
-----------
that Executive (whether then held by that Executive or one or more of that
Executive's permitted Transferees or, in the case of Xxxxx, the Xxxxx Trust or
its permitted Transferees) will be subject to repurchase by the Company and the
Stockholders which hold Non-Incentive Common Shares upon the terms and
conditions of this Section 2.2 (the "Call Option").
-----------
(B) CALL OPTION PRICE. In connection with any exercise of the Call
-----------------
Option, the purchase price for each Unvested Share for the Executive as to which
a Termination has occurred (whether or not then held by that Executive) will be
$0.001, and the purchase price for each other Executive Share for that Executive
(whether or not then held by that Executive) will be the Fair Market Value of
that Executive Share as of the date upon which the Company Call Notice or the
Fund Call Notice, as the case may be, is given. The Fair Market Value of any
Executive Share will be determined pursuant to Article 4.
(C) EXERCISE BY THE COMPANY. Promptly after any Termination (with
-----------------------
respect to the Unvested Shares which are part of the Executive Shares for the
Executive in question) the Company will, and at any time and from time to time
on or prior to the 20th Business Day after any Termination (with respect to the
other Executive Shares for that Executive), the Company may, exercise the Call
Option for all or any portion of the Executive Shares for the Executive in
question by delivering written notice (the "Company Call Notice") to the
-------------------
holder(s) of the Executive Shares to be purchased. The Company Call Notice will
set forth the number and type of Executive Shares to be acquired from each
holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for those Executive Shares and
the time and place for the closing of the Company's purchase.
_________________________
/2/i.e., if the Executive is employed by neither the Company nor Pinnacle
Towers.
-6-
(D) EXERCISE BY THE INITIAL STOCKHOLDERS.
------------------------------------
(i) If the Company does not exercise or has not exercised the Call
Option for any or all of the Executive Shares in question, then, at any
time and from time to time on or prior to the 20th Business Day after the
Termination in question, at the election of the Fund (by written notice as
described in clause (ii) below), then the Stockholders which hold Non-
Incentive Common Shares, including the Fund, if the Fund holds Non-
Incentive Common Shares, but excluding any Executive as to which a
Termination has occurred and any Family Member of any such Executive (those
non-excluded Stockholders being the "Eligible Stockholders") will be
---------------------
entitled to exercise the Call Option with respect to any or all of the
Executive Shares for the Executive in question and which the Company is not
able to purchase (collectively, the "Available Shares").
----------------
(ii) If the Fund so elects, then the Fund will give written notice
(the "Fund Call Notice") to the other Eligible Stockholders setting forth
----------------
the number of Available Shares of the type(s) to be purchased and the
proposed purchase price for those Available Shares. Each Eligible
Stockholder may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Shares of the
type(s) specified in the Fund Call Notice by giving written notice (an
"Election Notice") to the Fund specifying the maximum number of Executive
---------------
Shares of each such type which that Eligible Stockholder would purchase,
within 5 Business Days after the Fund Call Notice is given.
(iii) If the Eligible Stockholders elect to purchase an aggregate
number of Executive Shares of any type which is greater than the number of
Available Shares of that type which is specified in the Fund Call Notice,
then the number of Available Shares of that type which is specified in the
Fund Call Notice will be allocated among the electing Eligible Stockholders
pro rata, based upon their respective Non-Incentive Percentages. If any of
those Available Shares of any type are not allocated to the Eligible
Stockholders pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then the
unallocated Available Shares of that type will be allocated and reallocated
among the Eligible Stockholders who have elected to purchase more Available
Shares of that type (as indicated in their respective Election Notices),
pro rata based on their respective Non-Incentive Percentages, until either
the entire number of Available Shares of that type which is specified in
the Fund Call Notice have been allocated or each Eligible Stockholder has
been allocated the maximum number of the Available Shares of that type
which that Eligible Stockholder has elected to purchase (as indicated in
that Eligible Stockholder's Election Notice).
-7-
(iv) As soon as practicable, the Fund will notify each holder of
Executive Shares as to the number of Executive Shares being purchased from
such holder by the Eligible Stockholders, the aggregate consideration to be
paid for those Executive Shares and the time and place for the closing of
the purchase by the Eligible Stockholders (the "Supplemental Call Notice").
------------------------
At the time the Fund delivers the Supplemental Call Notice to the holder(s)
of Executive Shares, the Fund will also deliver written notice to each
subscribing Eligible Stockholder setting forth the number and type of
Available Shares allocated to that Eligible Stockholder pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the
closing of the purchase by the Eligible Stockholders.
(E) ALLOCATION AMONG SELLING HOLDERS. The number of Executive Shares
--------------------------------
of any type to be repurchased by the Company or the Eligible Stockholders will
be satisfied to the extent possible from the Executive Shares held by the
Executive as to which the Termination in question has occurred. If the number of
Executive Shares of any type then held by that Executive is less than the total
number of Executive Shares of that type to be purchased, then the Company and/or
the Eligible Stockholders will purchase the remaining Executive Shares of that
type from the other holder(s) of Executive Shares for that Executive and of that
type, pro rata according to the number of such Executive Shares held by such
other holder(s).
(F) CLOSING. The closing of any purchase of Executive Shares pursuant
-------
to the Call Option will take place on the date designated in the Company Call
Notice or Supplemental Call Notice, as the case may be, which date will not be
earlier than the 5th Business Day after the delivery of such notice. The Company
and/or the Eligible Stockholders will pay for the Executive Shares to be
purchased pursuant to the Call Option by delivery of one or more certified
checks or wire transfers of funds. The purchasers of Executive Shares under this
Section 2.2 will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties
from the sellers regarding the sale of those Executive Shares (including
representations and warranties to the effect that the seller(s) have good title
to those Executive Shares, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances) and to
require that those sellers execute and deliver transfer documentation that is
reasonable in form and substance.
(G) CHARACTERIZATION OF EXECUTIVE SHARES PURCHASED. Any Executive
----------------------------------------------
Share purchased by any Executive or any Family Member of that Executive under
this Section 2.2 will thereafter be an Executive Share for that Executive (or
for Xxxxx, in the case of any such Share purchased by the Xxxxx Trust or any
Family Member thereof). Any Incentive Shares purchased by any Eligible
Stockholder under this Section 2.2 will thereafter continue to be Incentive
Shares in the hands of that Eligible Stockholder, but
-8-
will not thereafter be or become Unvested Shares; provided that any Vested
--------
Shares or Unvested Shares purchased by any Executive or any Family Member
thereof will become Unvested Shares if a Termination described in Section 2.2(a)
occurs with respect to that Executive (or with respect to Xxxxx, in the case of
any such Share purchased by the Xxxxx Trust or any Family Member thereof).
(H) DEADLINE FOR EXERCISE OF CALL OPTION. No Company Call Notice or
------------------------------------
Fund Call Notice with respect to Executive Shares for any Executive may be given
after the date which is 20 Business Days after the date upon which the
Termination occurs with respect to that Executive.
2.3 REPURCHASE OF EXECUTIVE SHARES: UPON TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE.
--------------------------------------------------------------
(A) WITHOUT-CAUSE PUT OPTION. If the employment of any Executive by
------------------------
the Company and Pinnacle Towers is terminated by the Company and Pinnacle Towers
(other than for Cause or by reason of that Executive's death or disability),
then that Executive and his Family Members will have the right (the "Without-
-------
Cause Put Option") to require the Company to purchase from that Executive and
----------------
his Family Members any or all of the shares of Class B Common which are held by
them at the time the Without-Cause Put Notice is given and which were issued
pursuant to the Contribution Agreement (the "Purchased Executive Shares" for
--------------------------
that Executive), upon the terms and conditions of this Section 2.3. Any
Termination described in the preceding sentence is referred to as a "Without-
-------
Cause Termination."
-----------------
(B) WITHOUT-CAUSE OPTION PRICE. In connection with any exercise of
--------------------------
the Without-Cause Put Option, the purchase price for each Purchased Executive
Share will be the Fair Market Value of that Purchased Executive Share as of the
date upon which the Without-Cause Put Notice is given. The Fair Market Value of
any Purchased Executive Share will be determined pursuant to Article 4.
(C) EXERCISE. Any Executive or Family Member of any Executive may
--------
exercise the Without-Cause Put Option at any time and from time to time during
the 20 Business Days after the Without-Cause Termination of that Executive by
delivering written notice (the "Without-Cause Put Notice") to the Company. The
------------------------
Without-Cause Put Notice will set forth the number of Purchased Executive Shares
to be sold by that Executive or Family Member.
(D) CLOSING. The closing of the purchase and sale of Purchased
-------
Executive Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Without-Cause Put Option will
take place promptly after both the purchase price for those shares has been
determined and the certificate(s) representing those Purchased Executive Shares
(duly endorsed for transfer to the Company) have been surrendered to the Company
at its principal executive office. The Company will pay for the
-9-
Purchased Executive Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Without-Cause Put
Option by delivery of one or more certified checks or wire transfers of funds.
The Company will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties
from the seller(s) of those Purchased Executive Shares regarding the sale of
those Shares (including representations and warranties to the effect that the
seller(s) have good title to those Shares, free and clear of any liens or
encumbrances) and to require that those sellers execute and deliver transfer
documentation that is reasonable and customary.
(E) CHARACTERIZATION OF EXECUTIVE SHARES PURCHASED. Any Purchased
----------------------------------------------
Executive Share purchased by the Company under this Section 2.3 will be
cancelled and will not thereafter be reissued or resold by the Company.
(F) DEADLINE FOR EXERCISE OF WITHOUT-CAUSE PUT OPTION. No Without-
-------------------------------------------------
Cause Put Notice with respect to Purchased Executive Shares held by any
Executive or any Family Member of that Executive may be given after the date
which is 20 Business Days after the date upon which the Without-Cause
Termination occurs with respect to that Executive (or with respect to Xxxxx, in
the case of the Xxxxx Trust).
2.4 REPURCHASE OF EXECUTIVE SHARES: UPON DEATH.
-------------------------------------------
(A) MAINTENANCE OF KEY-MAN INSURANCE. From time to time after the
--------------------------------
date of this Agreement, the Company will use reasonable efforts to maintain or
cause Pinnacle Towers to maintain, at the Company's or Pinnacle Towers' expense,
life insurance policies on the lives of each of Wolsey, Dell'Apa and Xxxxx (the
"Key-Man Policies") which is then an employee of the Company or Pinnacle Towers.
----------------
Each Key-Man Policy will be the exclusive property of the Company and/or
Pinnacle Towers, and all death and other benefits payable under each Key-Man
Policy will be payable to the Company and/or Pinnacle Towers, as the sole
beneficiary(ies) thereof. The amounts of the death benefits payable under the
Key-Man Policy for each Executive will be reviewed and adjusted annually as may
be agreed by the Board and that Executive, with the intention being that the
amount of the death benefits (the "Death Benefits") approximate the aggregate
--------------
Fair Market Value of the Purchased Executive Shares and the Vested Shares for
that Executive (including, in the case of Xxxxx, those held by the Xxxxx Trust)
from time to time (to the extent that such insurance may be acquired for the
amount of such value).
(B) AFTER-DEATH PUT OPTION. Subject to Section 2.4(c), if the
----------------------
employment of any Executive by the Company and Pinnacle Towers is terminated by
reason of that Executive's death, then that Executive's Family Members will have
the right (the "After-Death Put Option") to require the Company to purchase from
----------------------
those Family Members any or all of the shares of the Purchased Executive Shares
-10-
for that Executive and a like proportion of the Vested Shares for that
Executive, upon the terms and conditions of this Section 2.4.
For example, if at the time of the death of an Executive that
Executive and his Family Members hold in the aggregate 2,000
Purchased Executive Shares and 1,000 Vested Shares, and the
Family Members of that Executive elect to require the Company to
purchase 1,200 of those Purchased Executive Shares, then those
Family Members also will be required to sell (and the Company
also will be required to purchase) 600/3/ of those Vested Shares.
(C) AFTER-DEATH OPTION PRICE. In connection with any exercise of the
------------------------
After-Death Put Option, the aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Executive
Shares and Vested Shares for any Executive to be purchased by the Company will
be an amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the
date upon which the After-Death Put Notice is given; provided the Company will
--------
not be required to purchase any such Shares to the extent that the aggregate
Fair Market Value thereof on such date exceeds the amount of the Death Benefits
paid to the Company and/or Pinnacle Towers pursuant to the Key-Man Policy for
that Executive.
For example, assuming the facts set forth in the preceding
illustration and if the aggregate Fair Market Value of those
1,200 Purchased Executive Shares and 600 Vested Shares were
$3,000,000 and the Death Benefits paid under the Key-Man Policy
for that Executive were $2,500,000, then the number of each type
of Shares to be purchased will be reduced (to 1,000 Purchased
Executive Shares and 500 Vested Shares) so that the aggregate
purchase price of the Shares to be purchased does not exceed the
amount of those Death Benefits.
The Fair Market Value of any Purchased Executive Shares and Vested Shares will
be determined pursuant to Article 4.

-12-
2.6 RETENTION OF EXECUTIVE SHARES.
-----------------------------
(A) CONSENT REQUIRED GENERALLY. Without limiting Section 7.1, no
--------------------------
holder of any Executive Share will Transfer any Executive Share or any interest
therein without the prior written approval of the Board, other than (i) to any
Family Member of the Executive in question (provided that such Family Member
--------
agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to any subsequent
Transfer, and the repurchase of, such Executive Share), (ii) pursuant to Section
2.2, 2.3 or 2.4, (iii) pursuant to Section 2.7 or Section 2.8, or (iv) in any
Public Sale. The Board may impose any condition(s) which it deems appropriate in
connection with the grant of any such consent or approval. Any Transfer of any
Executive Shares in violation of this Section 2.6 will be null and void, and the
Company will not give any effect to any such Transfer in the Company's records.
(B) STATUS AFTER EXEMPT TRANSFER. Any Executive Shares which are
----------------------------
Transferred as described in clause (iii) or clause (iv) of Section 2.6(a) will
cease to be Shares for purposes of this Agreement (meaning, without limitation,
that they will not thereafter be subject to repurchase pursuant to Section 2.2,
2.3 or 2.4, nor will any Transferee in such a Transfer have any rights pursuant
to any of Sections 1.4, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 or 2.7 by reason of holding any such
Shares).
2.7 TAG-ALONG RIGHTS.
----------------
(A) TAG-ALONG SALE NOTICE. Not later than the 5th Business Day prior
---------------------
to any Transfer of Common Shares by the Fund, the Fund will give each other
Stockholder which holds Non-Incentive Common Shares (collectively, the "Other
-----
Stockholders") a written notice (the "Tag-Along Sale Notice") specifying the
------------ ---------------------
material terms of the proposed Transfer. Each Other Stockholder may elect to
participate in such Transfer as an additional Transferor on the terms of this
Section 2.7, by delivering written notice to that effect to the Fund within 5
Business Days after delivery of the Tag-Along Sale Notice.
(B) MANNER OF PARTICIPATION. If any Other Stockholder elects to
-----------------------
participate in any such Transfer, then each Stockholder participating in that
Transfer as a Transferor (including the Fund) will be entitled to include in
that Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms (subject to Section
2.7(c)), up to a quantity of Non-Incentive Common Shares which is equal to the
product of (1) the quotient determined by dividing that Stockholder's Non-
-----------------------------------
Incentive Percentage by the aggregate Non-Incentive Percentage of all
participating Stockholders (including the Fund) multiplied by (2) the aggregate
number of Common Shares to be included in that Transfer.
-13-
For example, if the Fund proposes to Transfer 10,000 Common Shares, and one
Other Stockholder elects to participate in that Transfer, and the Non-
Incentive Percentage of the Fund is 60% and the Non-Incentive Percentage of
the Other Stockholder is 20%, then the Other Stockholder will be entitled
to include in that Transfer 2,500 Common Shares, /4/ and the Fund will be
entitled to include in that Transfer 7,500 Common Shares.
(C) DIVISION OF CONSIDERATION. In any Transfer of Common Shares in
-------------------------
accordance with this Section 2.7, the aggregate consideration paid by the
Transferee in question will be divided among the Fund and the participating
Other Stockholders as if such consideration were to be distributed as a
Distribution to the Company's stockholders in accordance with the Company
Charter and the Common Shares Transferred were the only shares of the Company's
capital stock outstanding.
(D) EXCEPTED TRANSFERS. The provisions of this Section 2.7 will not
------------------
apply to any Transfer by the Fund (i) to an Affiliate of the Fund (provided that
--------
the Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to
any subsequent Transfer of the Common Shares Transferred to that Affiliate),
(ii) pursuant to Section 2.8, (iii) in any Public Sale (including in connection
with or as part of an IPO), or (iv) to any employee of the Company or any
Subsidiary.
(E) TRANSFERS IN VIOLATION. Any Transfer of any Common Shares in
----------------------
violation of this Section 2.7 will be null and void, and the Company will not
give any effect to any such Transfer in the Company's records. The Fund will
not Transfer (other than pursuant to clause (ii), clause (iii) or clause (iv) of
Section 2.7(d) any Common Shares to any Person which does not agree to permit
participation by the holders of Non-Incentive Common Shares in such Transfer in
accordance with this Section 2.7.
(F) TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS. If any Common Shares are
---------------------------
Transferred in accordance with this Section 2.7 (other than to an Affiliate of
the Fund), then no Other Stockholder will have any rights pursuant to this
Section 2.7 with respect to any subsequent Transfer of those Common Shares. The
rights of the Other Stockholders under this Section 2.7 will terminate with
respect to all Transfers of Common Shares upon an IPO or a Sale of the Company.

2.8 SALE OF THE COMPANY.
-------------------
(A) GENERALLY. In connection with any Approved Sale, each
---------
Stockholder will vote in favor of, consent to and raise no objection with
respect to the Approved Sale, and if the Approved Sale is structured as a sale
of the Company's capital stock, then each Stockholder will sell capital stock of
the Company, Options, Convertible Securities and other rights to acquire
securities of the Company on the terms and conditions applicable to the Approved
Sale. Each Stockholder will take all actions which may be necessary to approve
and effect any Approved Sale (including waiving any dissenter's or similar
rights which such Stockholder may have with respect to any Approved Sale) and
will use its best efforts to cooperate in any Approved Sale and will take all
other necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of any
Approved Sale as the Company or the Fund may reasonably request. The reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Stockholder in the ordinary course of
complying with this Section 2.8 (including reasonable attorneys' fees) will be
paid for or reimbursed by the Company or borne by all Stockholders pro rata
according to the respective amounts of the proceeds received by them in
connection with that Approved Sale.
(B) CONDITIONS. The obligations of each Stockholder with respect
----------
to any Approved Sale are subject to the satisfaction of the following
conditions:
(i) upon the consummation of the Approved Sale, each Stockholder
will receive the same form of consideration and the same amount of
consideration per share or other unit of securities, subject to Section
2.8(c) and clauses (ii) and (iii) below;
(ii) if any holders of a class of the Company's securities are given
an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, then
each Stockholder which holds any securities of that class will be given the
same option;
(iii) each Stockholder which holds any then currently exercisable
Options, Convertible Securities or other rights to acquire securities of
the Company of any class will be given an opportunity to either (A)
exercise those rights prior to the consummation of the Approved Sale and
participate in the Approved Sale as a holder of the securities issuable
upon exercise or (B) upon consummation of the Approved Sale, receive in
exchange for those rights consideration equal to the amount determined by
multiplying (1) the per-unit amount received by the holders of securities
of that class in connection with the Approved Sale less the per-unit
exercise price per payable upon the exercise of those rights by (2) the
-15-
number of units issuable upon the exercise of those rights; and
(iv) no Stockholder will be required by reason of any Approved Sale
to incur indemnification liability in a proportion which is greater than
that Stockholder's pro rata share of the proceeds of the Approved Sale with
respect to breaches of representations and warranties regarding matters
other than that Stockholder and the securities purported to be owned by
that Stockholder.
(C) DISTRIBUTIONS UPON SALE OF THE COMPANY. In the event of a Sale
--------------------------------------
of the Company, including an Approved Sale, which is effected by means of a sale
or exchange of the Company's capital stock (whether by sale, merger,
recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, combination, sale or transfer
of capital stock or otherwise), subject to clause (iii) of Section 2.8(b), each
Stockholder will receive in exchange for the shares owned by such Stockholder to
be sold or exchanged the same portion of the aggregate consideration from such
sale or exchange that such Stockholder would have received if such aggregate
consideration had been distributed by the Company in complete liquidation of the
Company pursuant to Company Charter, determined as if the securities involved in
such Sale of the Company were the Company's sole outstanding securities. Each
Stockholder will take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the
distribution of the aggregate consideration from such sale or exchange as are
requested by the Company to give effect to this Section 2.8(c).
2.9 RECAPITALIZATION. In the event that a Transfer to which the
----------------
tag-along rights described in Section 2.7 would apply, or a Public Offering, is
proposed and the Fund requests in order to facilitate that Transfer, or the
underwriters or other Persons managing or administering that offering on behalf
of the Company (the "Managers"), advise the Company in writing that in their
--------
opinion the equity structure of the Company (including the fact that the Company
is organized as a corporation) may adversely affect the marketability of the
offering, then each Stockholder will consent to and vote for a recapitalization
or reorganization of the Company and/or the exchange or conversion of the
Company's capital stock into a form of business organization and/or common and
preferred securities that the Fund or the Managers, as the case may be, propose,
and will take all other necessary or desirable actions in connection with the
consummation of the recapitalization, reorganization and/or exchange or
conversion, including entering into a restatement of any Transaction Document
which may be required in order to preserve the relative rights and obligations
of any Person; provided that the resulting organization and the common and
--------
preferred securities issued in connection with that recapitalization or
reorganization reflect and are consistent with the relative rights, duties and
preferences among the
-16-
Company's outstanding securities prior to such recapitalization or
reorganization.
2.10 HOLDBACK. No Stockholder will offer to the public for sale, or
--------
make any public sale or distribution of, any Share or any other capital stock or
equity security of the Company, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for any of the foregoing, during the seven days
prior to or the 180 days after the effective date of any underwritten registered
offering of the Company's capital stock or other securities, unless the
underwriters managing such underwritten offering otherwise agree. The
restrictions set forth in this Section 2.10 will continue with respect to any
particular security until the date on which that security has been sold in a
Public Sale.
ARTICLE 3
VOTING PROVISIONS
3.1 ELECTION OF EXECUTIVES TO THE BOARD. From and after the date of
-----------------------------------
this Agreement, the Fund will vote all Shares which are eligible to vote on such
matters, and will take all other necessary or desirable actions within the
Fund's control (whether in the Funds's capacity as a stockholder or otherwise,
and including attendance at meetings in person or by proxy for purposes of
obtaining a quorum and execution of written consents in lieu of meetings), and
the Company will take all necessary or desirable actions within its control
(including, without limitation, calling special board and stockholder meetings),

ARTICLE 4
VALUATION
4.1 MARKETABLE SECURITIES. A Share which is listed on a recognized
---------------------
securities exchange will be valued as of its last sale price on the date in
question, or if no sale occurred on that date, at its last "bid" price on that
date; and a Share which is traded over-the-counter will be valued at its last
"bid" price on the date in question. This Section 4.1 will not apply, however,
to any security (i) held under a representation that it has been acquired for
investment, and not with a view to public sale or distribution, (ii) subject to
any other restriction on Transfer, or (iii) where the size of the owner's
holdings of the security compared to the trading volume in the security
materially affects its liquidity and marketability.
4.2 OTHER SHARES. Any Shares to which Section 4.1 does not apply by
------------
its terms will be valued as of the date in question at the price a willing buyer
would pay a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction, neither being under
any compulsion to buy or sell and both having knowledge of all relevant facts,
as determined using any reasonable valuation method designated by the Company in
good faith. The Fair Market Value of any Class A Common or Class B Common
described in this Section 4.2 will be determined by reference to the amount that
would be received in connection with a liquidation of the Company, and without
regard to any "premium" or "discount" which might be imputed if the rate at
which the Yield accrues on the Class A Common or the Class B Common were deemed
to constitute an above-market or below-market rate of return.
ARTICLE 5
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
5.1 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE FUND AND THE EXECUTIVES.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Original Agreement, the Fund and the Initial

appropriate for deciding whether to acquire and commit to acquire those

-----------------------
Towers, nor any representative of the Company or Pinnacle Towers, nor any
other Person, has at any time expressly or implicitly represented,
guaranteed, or warranted to that Stockholder that it or he may freely
Transfer those Shares, that a percentage of profit and/or amount or type of
consideration will be realized as a result of an investment in those
Shares, that past performance or experience on the part of any Person in
any way indicates the predictable results of the ownership of those Shares
or of the Company's or Pinnacle Towers' business, that any cash
distributions from the Company's or Pinnacle Towers' operations or
otherwise will be made to the owners of Shares by any specific date or will
be made at all, or that any specific tax benefits will accrue as a result
of an investment in the Company.

those Shares will depend on its or his particular circumstances, and
neither the Company or Pinnacle Towers nor any representative of either of
them nor
-21-
any other Person will be responsible or liable for the tax consequences to
that Stockholder of an investment in the Company. That Stockholder will
look solely to, and rely upon, its or his own advisors with respect to the
tax consequences of this investment. That Stockholder acknowledges that
there can be no assurance that the Code or the Treasury Regulations or any
other Law will not be amended or interpreted in the future in such a manner
so as to deprive the Company and its stockholders of some or all of the tax
benefits they might receive, nor that some of the deductions claimed by the
Company or the allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or
credit among the Company's stockholders may not be challenged by the

BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS
WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST
AND WITHOUT CHARGE.
(D) LEGEND REMOVAL. If any Restricted Securities become eligible for
--------------
sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (or any
similar rule or rules then in force), then the Company will, upon the request of
the holder of such Restricted
-25-
Securities, remove the legend set forth in Section 7.1(c) from the certificates
