MASTER SITE AGREEMENT
---------------------
This Master Antenna Site License Agreement ("Agreement"), is entered
into this 17th day of April, 1998, between Nextel Communications, Inc., a
Delaware Corporation, together with its wireless communications subsidiaries and
affiliates which elect to participate in this License, (collectively "Nextel"),
and TRITON PCS PROPERTY COMPANY L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company,
("Triton").
For good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.A. Master License. This Agreement sets forth the basic terms and
conditions upon which Nextel shall license antenna sites to Triton and upon
which Triton shall license antenna sites to Nextel. For purposes of this
Agreement, Licensor shall be either Triton or Nextel and Licensee shall be
either Triton or Nextel as defined in the individual Site License. Upon the
parties' agreement as to the particular terms of any such license, the parties
shall execute and attach hereto a completed site license ("Site License") in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A which is incorporated herein by this
reference. The terms and conditions of any Site License shall govern and control
in the event of a discrepancy or inconsistency with the terms and conditions of
this License.
1.B. Premises. (a) Licensor currently leases parcels of land (each
--------
individual parcel shall be referred to herein as "Land") and owns and operates
telecommunications towers (each individual tower shall be referred to herein as
"Tower") and communications equipment buildings or cabinets (each individual
equipment building or cabinet shall be referred to herein as "Enclosure")
located thereon as identified in the individual Site License (the Tower,
Enclosure and Land are collectively, the "Property"). The Land is more
particularly described in Exhibit 1 attached to each Site License. Licensor
hereby licenses to Licensee and Licensee licenses from Licensor the area of Land
identified on the Site License, and Licensor hereby licenses to Licensee and
Licensee licenses from Licensor space on the Towers (collectively, the
"Premises") and grants Licensee the right to install and maintain transmission
and utility wires, poles, cables conduits and pipes on the Property including
over, under or along a right-of-way extending from the nearest public right-of-
way to the Licensed Premises; said Licensed Premises and right-of-way for access
being substantially as described in Exhibit 2 annexed to each individual Site
License.
(b) Each of the Premises are a part of the same property leased to
the Licensor under an agreement pursuant to which Licensor has rights in and to
the Land (each such individual agreement shall be referred to herein as "Prime
Lease"). Each Prime Lease shall be attached to and made a part of each
individual Site License as Exhibit 4. Except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, or except as the terms of the Prime Lease may be in conflict with or
inconsistent with the terms herein provided or provided in each individual Site
License, all of the terms, covenants and provisions in the Prime Lease are
hereby incorporated into and made a part of each individual Site License as if
fully set forth therein; shall terminate as between Licensor and Licensee on the
effective date of termination of the Prime Lease, and Licensor shall have no
liability to Licensee therefor. Licensor shall give Licensee written notice of
such termination or expiration of the Prime Lease as provided herein or as soon
as practicable.
2. Use. The Premises may be used by Licensee for any activity in
---
connection with the provision of telecommunications services. Licensor agrees to
cooperate with Licensee, at Licensee's
expense, in making application for and obtaining all licenses, permits and any
and all other necessary approvals that may be required for Licensee's intended
use of the Premises.
3. Tests and Construction. (a) Licensee shall have the right at any
----------------------
time following the full execution of the Site License to enter upon the Land for
the purpose of: making necessary engineering surveys, inspections, soil test
borings, other reasonably necessary tests and constructing the Licensee
Facilities (as defined in Paragraph 7 (a)); provided, however, such tests and
-
construction shall be at Licensee's sole cost and expense. Upon Licensee's
request, Licensor agrees to provide promptly to Licensee copies of all plans,
specification, surveys and tower maps for the Land or Tower in Licensor's
possession or available to Licensor. The tower map plan or similar document
shall include the elevation of all antennas on the Tower and the frequencies
upon which each antenna operates. Prior to installation of the Licensee
Facilities on the Tower, Licensee shall pay for any and all costs associated
with any structural analyses and modification(s) of the Tower and Licensor's
equipment thereon. In approving Licensee's plans, Licensor shall not be required
to approve any modification(s) to Licensor's equipment which would measurably
adversely affect or interfere with Licensor's operation.
(b) None of the Licensee Facilities shall be installed on the Tower
nor shall any construction pertaining to the Licensee Facilities commence until
Licensee has submitted its construction and installation plans, contractors and
subcontractors to Licensor in writing and such plans have been approved in
writing by Licensor. Licensor shall give such approval or provide Licensee with
its requests for changes within ten (10) working days after Licensor's receipt
of Licensee's plans or following receipt of any Tower analysis results, if
applicable. Licensee shall have the right to immediately terminate the Site
License if Licensor has not provided such approval or request for change within
twenty (20) days after such ten (10) working day period. Licensor shall not be
entitled to receive any additional consideration in exchange for giving its
approval of Licensee's plans. Licensee shall not alter any plans so approved
without following the same procedures. Licensee shall be responsible for
grounding all external and internal wiring and cabling installed by Licensee.
Licensee shall obtain Licensor's prior written approval of such grounding plans.
(c) Licensee shall provide all labor for the installation,
maintenance and repair of Licensee's antennas and related equipment on the
Tower, unless Licensor, it its sole discretion, elects to provide such labor, in
which case Licensee shall pay Licensor for such labor; provided, however, that
such labor costs shall be reasonable and that Licensor shall provide Licensee
copies of all bills and invoices for such work.
4. Term. (a) Site Licenses. The term of each individual Site License
----
shall be five (5) years commencing on the date Licensee begins construction of
the Licensee Facilities or that date which is ninety (90) days after execution
of the Site License ("Contingency Date"), whichever first occurs ("Commencement
Date") and terminating on the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date
("Term") unless otherwise terminated as provided in Paragraph 10. Either
Licensor or Licensee, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the conditions set
forth in paragraphs 5 and 10 below, may terminate any Site License(s). Licensee
shall have the right to extend the Term for three (3) successive five (5) year
periods ("Renewal Terms") on the same terms and conditions as set forth herein.
The Site License shall automatically be extended for each successive Renewal
Term unless Licensee notifies Licensor of its intention not to renew at least
thirty (30) days prior to commencement of the succeeding Renewal Term. The
length of the Term and each Renewal Term of each Site License shall be subject
to the length of the Term of the Prime Lease and the Term or Renewal Term of
each Site License shall be coterminous with the term of the Prime Lease. It is
expressly understood that all rights granted to Licensee under this License are
irrevocable until the Site License expires or sooner terminates as provided in
this Agreement
2
or each Site License. The termination of this License, its terms and conditions
shall survive and continue to govern with respect to any remaining Site Licenses
in effect until the termination of such Site Licenses.
(b) Master Site Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall be ten
(10) years beginning on the date hereof and ending on the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the date hereof, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the
terms hereof. This Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional term of
five (5) years unless terminated by either party in writing at least ninety (90)
days prior to the end of the initial term. The terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall survive and continue to govern with respect to any remaining
Site Licenses in effect at the termination of this Agreement.
5. Contingencies. Each Site License is subject to the following
-------------
contingencies:
(a) Licensee's ability to obtain all governmental licenses, permits
and approvals required of or deemed necessary or appropriate by Licensee for its
use of the Licensed Premises, including without limitation applications for
zoning variances, zoning ordinances, amendments, special use permits, and
building permits (collectively referred to as "Governmental Approvals");
provided that Licensee shall have the right, without obligation to do so, to
appeal any denial by a governmental agency and the contingency date for
obtaining Governmental Approvals; shall be extended until such time as a final
decision is rendered and is not the subject of any further appeal made or
defended by Licensee. Licensor agrees to make reasonable efforts to cooperate
with Licensee and join in any application for Governmental Approvals, provided,
however, that Licensor shall be reimbursed by Licensee for any of Licensor's
reasonable out-to-pocket costs associated with the foregoing; and
(b) Owner's consent to the Site License on the Owner's consent
attached hereto (and to each Site License) as Exhibit 6, provided such consent
is required pursuant to the Prime Lease.
(c) If either Paragraph 5 contingency is not satisfied or waived
within one (1) year from the date the Site License is fully executed (subject to
appeal and tolling of this contingency date pursuant to Paragraph 5 (a)),
Licensor may terminate this license on thirty (30) days notice without
liability.
6. Site License Rent.
-----------------
(a) Within fifteen (15) business days of the Commencement Date of
each Site License and on the first day of each month thereafter, Licensee shall
pay to Licensor the rent set forth on each individual Site License. Rent may be
negotiated for a particular Site License but shall not exceed ***** per month
attributed to the use of the Tower, and ***** per month attributed to the use of
the Enclosure and Land ("Rent"). In the event Licensee must separately pay rent
to a third party for use of the Enclosure or Land, the Rent shall be reduced and
shall not exceed ***** per month. The Rent shall be increased on each
anniversary of the Commencement Date by ***** of the prior year's rent. The rent
for any fractional month at the beginning or at the end of the Term or Renewal
Term shall be prorated. The Rent shall be payable to Licensor at the address
identified in the Site License.
If Licensee constructs a new tower or pole on the Land and said Land,

co-development then all Rent shall xxxxx for the first ten (10) years of such
Site License, provided, however, Licensor, shall own such tower or pole.

the Prime Lease for any Property which is the subject of a particular Site
License beyond its current expiration term (the "Additional Extension Term(s)"),
the Licensor shall provide the Licensee with written notice of the Additional
Extension Term(s) within thirty (30) days of the time that the Licensor and the
Owner have come to agreement on the Additional Extension Term(s) (the "Extension
Notice"). Licensee will have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Extension
Notice to notify Licensor in writing, if it intends to reject the Additional
Extension Term(s). Unless Licensee sends such rejection notice of the Additional
Extension Term(s) within the time period set forth in the preceding sentence,
then the Additional Extension Term(s) shall be deemed automatically incorporated
in the extension terms contemplated in the particular Site License on the same
terms and conditions of this License and the Particular Site License, except
that the License Fee for such Additional Extension Term(s) under the particular
Site License shall be adjusted by the same dollar increase or decrease as the
rental fee under the Prime Lease for the Additional Extension Term(s). The
adjusted License Fee for additional Extension Term(s) shall be distributed
equally between Licensee and all co-locators to reflect the same dollar increase
or decrease as the rental fee under the Prime Lease.
7. Facilities; Utilities; Access.
-----------------------------
(a) Licensee, at its sole cost and expense, has the right to erect,
maintain and operate on the Premises (and as to utilities cable, conduit, etc.
specified areas at the Property) radio communications facilities, including
utility lines, transmission line, and air conditioned equipment shelter or
cabinets, electronic equipment, radio transmitting and receiving antennas and
supporting structures thereto ("Licensee Facilities"). In connection therewith
and subject to Paragraph 3(c) above, Licensee has the right to do all work
necessary to prepare, maintain and alter the Premises for Licensee's business
operations and to install transmission lines connecting the antennas to the
transmitters and receivers. All construction and installation work shall be
performed in a good and workmanlike manner. Title to the Licensee Facilities
shall be held by Licensee. Licensee Facilities shall remain Licensee's personal
property and are not fixtures. Licensee has the right to remove all Licensee

termination of the Site License; provided, Licensee repairs any damage to the
Property caused by such removal and subject to Paragraph 3(c) above.
(b) Licensee shall pay for the electricity it consumes in its
operation at the rate charged by the servicing utility company. Licensee shall
have the right to draw electricity, by submeter, and other utilities from the
existing utilities on the Property or obtain, at its sole cost and expense,
separate utility services from any utility company that will provide service to
the Property (including a standby power generator for Licensee's exclusive use).
Any easement necessary for such power or other utilities will be at a location
acceptable to licensor and the servicing utility company.
(c) Unless otherwise restricted by the terms of a Prime Lease,
Licensee, Licensee's employees, agents and subcontractors may enter on or across
the Land without notice to Licensor twentyfour (24) hours a day, seven (7) days
a week, at no charge to obtain entry to its Premises for the purpose of
constructing, installing, operating, maintaining and repairing those parts of
the Licensee Facilities that are ground-based. Such access shall be as shown on
Exhibit 2. Licensee shall not, without prior notice to and approval from
Licensor, perform or arrange to be performed for normally scheduled
installation, maintenance or repair of the Licensee Facilities on the Tower. Any
emergency installation,
4
maintenance or repair of the Licensee Facilities on the Tower shall be performed
only with prior oral or written approval from Licensor.
8. Non-Interference.
----------------
(a) Each party agrees that it has performed adequate testing at the
Property or evaluated the operations of other occupants for interference with
its operation based upon the available information supplied by each party to the
other as to its own operations and, in the case of Licensor, other existing and
known potential wireless communications users at the Property and each party
agrees that the disclosed use or uses, as presently identified on Exhibit 5
attached hereto and made a part hereof and attached to and made a part of each
individual Site License, do not, if properly and lawfully operated, interfere
with such party's use of the Property.
(b) If any measurable adverse interference is caused by Licensor or
anyone now or in the future holding a Property interest from or under Licensor
due to improper or unlawful operations, or any subsequent change or addition of
equipment or improvements by Licensor or any such other holder on the Property,
Licensor agrees to the extent within Licensor's control, reasonably to cause the
elimination of same in a prompt and timely manner. If such measurable adverse
interference by Licensor or such other Property interest holder, or measurable
adverse interference by Licensee's Facilities with existing communications
equipment, cannot be eliminated within a reasonable length of time, but not to
exceed 48 hours after notice thereof for material interference and thirty (30)
days if otherwise measurably adverse, Licensor or Licensee, as the case may be,
shall cause the interference to cease except for brief tests necessary for the
elimination of the interference. In the event that such interference cannot be
eliminated within the time periods set forth in the previous sentence, Licensor
and Licensee acknowledge that such interference will cause irreparable injury,
and that Licensor or Licensee, as the case may be, in addition to all other
remedies available under this Agreement as it applies to the applicable Site
License, at law and/or at equity, shall have the right to bring an action to
enjoin the interference.
9. Taxes. Except as provided immediately below, Licensor shall pay all
-----
real property taxes it is obligated to pay under the Prime Lease. Licensee shall
reimburse Licensor for any increases in real property taxes which are assessed
as a direct result of Licensee's improvements to the land. As a condition of
Licensee's obligation to pay such tax increases, Licensor shall provide to
Licensee the documentation from the taxing authority, reasonably acceptable to
licensee, indicating the increase is due to Licensee's improvements.
10. Site License Termination.
------------------------
(a) Licensee acknowledges that Licensor currently operates a
communications facility at the Property. In the event Licensor's Prime Lease
with Owner terminates during the term hereof, and the applicable Site License
therefore terminates concurrently, Licensee may seek to purchase the monopole or
tower from Licensor at a reasonable cost to be mutually agreed upon between
Licensor and Licensee and agreed to by Licensor's applicable financing
institution. Licensee may also license or lease the Property directlyfrom the
Owner, if the Owner has so permitted or consents thereto. The parties
acknowledge and agree that the foregoing shall notbe deemed an option to
purchase or a right of first refusal to purchase the monopole or tower structure
or an encumbrance of any kind on the monopole or tower structure or restrict in
any way Licensor's or Licensor's successors or assigns' right to freely transfer
Licensor's monopole or tower structure so long as the transferee agrees to all
the terms and conditions of the within Agreement.
5

thirty (30) days prior written notice as follows: (a) by eitherparty upon a
default of any covenant or term hereof or of a Site License by the other party,
which default is not cured within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice
of default, provided that the grace period for any monetary default is ten (10)
days from receipt of notice, and, provided further, that any nonmonetary default
which cannot be cured within such sixty (60) day period shall not be a default
hereunder so long as such defaulting party diligently proceeds to cure such
default upon receipt of notice thereof; or (b) by Licensee for any reason or for
no reason, provided Licensee delivers written notice of early termination to
Licensor no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Commencement Date; or (iii)
by Licensee or Licensor if it does not obtain or maintain any license, permit or
other approval necessary for the construction and operation of Licensee
Facilities; or (iv) by Licensee or Licensor if Licensee or Licensor is unable to
occupy and utilize the premises due to an action of the FCC, including without
limitation, a take back of channels or change in frequencies; or (v) by Licensee
if Licensee determines that the Premises are not appropriate for its operations
for economic or technological reasons, including, without limitation, signal
interference.
11. Destruction or Condemnation. If the whole or any substantial
---------------------------
part of the Property shall be taken by any public authority under the power of
eminent domain so as to interfere with Licensee's use and occupancy thereof,
then the Site License shall cease on the part so taken on the date of possession
of that part, and any Rent paid in advance of such date shall be refunded to
Licensee, and the Licensee shall have the right to terminate the Site License
upon written notice to Licensor, which notice shall be delivered within thirty
(30) days following the date notice is received of such taking. If Licensee
chooses not to terminate the Site License, the Rent shall be reduced or abated
in proportion to the actual reduction or abatement of use of the Premises.

Licensee's use and operation of the Premises.
(b) Licensor shall exonerate, hold harmless, indemnify, and defend
Licensee from and against any and all liabilities, damages, costs and expenses
