(“Foster” or “Licensee”), a Master License Agreement (“Master Agreement”) under which future individual site licenses (through subsequent expedited 851 advice letter filings) would be separately processed to install specific signboards on PG&E’s land, buildings and other structures for the outdoor display of advertising throughout PG&E’s service territory, the revenues from which will provide ratepayer benefits.
