such damage from the Premises, and Tenant shall promptly take such actions and cause such
repairs to be made to the Premises as will place the Premises in a neat and orderly condition and

the provisions hereof, then the Landlord may, upon prior notice to Tenant, take such measures as
it deems necessary to render the Premises in a neat, orderly and safe condition, and the Tenant
shall be responsible for any costs expended by the Landlord in connection therewith.

replacements for the restoration thereof in accordance with the plans and specifications as the same
existed prior to such damage or destruction, provided that the Tenant within forty-five (45)
calendar days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction notifies the Landlord in writing
that it elects to exercise its option to make the necessary repairs or replacements. If the Tenant
elects to make such repairs or replacements, it shall commence such repair or replacement within
six (6) months from the date of such destruction. If the Premises has been completely destroyed,
Tenant shall commence construction within one (1) year from the date of such destruction.
Landlord, in its sole discretion, may grant extensions to the above time periods upon request from
Tenant. Provided, however, in no event shall tower operations be discontinued for more than two
(2) years.
(2) If the Tenant fails to notify Landlord in writing of its intention to
make the necessary repairs or replacements within the forty-five (45) day period provided in
subparagraph (1) of this subsection (f), or Tenant does not elect to make such repairs and
replacements, then this Lease shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of seventy-five
(75) calendar days from the occurrence of such destruction or damage; or (ii) the date established
by written notice by the Landlord to the Tenant.
(g) Landlord's Negligence. Except for its negligence or the negligence of its
officers, employees, or agents, and except for damage caused by the breach by Landlord of its
covenant of quiet enjoyment, Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any damage or injury
to any property, fixtures, building, or other improvements, or to any person or persons, at any time
on the Premises, including any damage or injury to Tenant or to any of Tenant's officers, agents,
servants, employees, contractors or sub -tenants.
(h) Tenant's Indemnification of Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify and save
harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, liabilities, loss or damage, penalties or
judgments arising from injury to person or property sustained by anyone in and about the Premises
resulting from any act(s) or omissions(s) of Tenant, or Tenant's officers, agents, servants,
employees, or contractors. Further, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, defend any and all
suits or actions (just or unjust) which may be brought against Landlord or in which Landlord may
be impleaded with others upon any such matter, claim or claims, except as may result from the
acts described in the preceding paragraph. This indemnification obligation shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth above, neither Party shall
be liable to the other, or any of their respective agents, representatives or employees for any lost
revenue, lost profits, loss of technology, rights or services, incidental, punitive, indirect, special or
consequential damages, loss of data, or interruption or loss of use of service, even if advised of the
possibility of such damages, whether under theory of contract, tort (including negligence), strict
liability or otherwise.
14. Interference. Landlord hereby reserves the right to construct, maintain, repair and
operate its own communications facility on the Tower. All improvements, equipment, antennas
and conduits which Landlord wishes to place on the Tower shall be at Landlord's own cost and
expense and Landlord's installation shall be at the discretion and option of Landlord. Landlord
shall have the right to replace, repair, add or otherwise modify its utilities, equipment, antennas
and/or conduits or any portion thereof and the frequencies over which the equipment operates,
whether the equipment, antennas, conduits or frequencies are specified or not on any exhibit
attached hereto. Both Landlord and Tenant agree, each with the other, to install only such
equipment of the type and frequency which will not cause harmful interference which is
measurable in accordance with then existing industry standards to any equipment of the other or
other lessees located on the Tower. In the event any equipment causes such interference, and after
the offending party has received notice from the non -offending party, in writing, of such
interference, the offending party will take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to correct
and eliminate the interference, including but not limited to, at non -offending parry's option,
powering down such equipment and later powering up such equipment for intermittent testing. In
no event will either parry be entitled to terminate the Lease or relocate the equipment as long as
offending party is making a good faith effort to remedy the interference issue. The parties hereto
agree that all sub -tenants who currently have or in the future take occupancy on the Tower will be
permitted to install only such equipment that is of the type and frequency which will not cause
harmful interference which is measurable in accordance with then existing industry standards to
the then existing equipment of any other party on the Tower.
15. Subleasing. Tenant shall not be permitted to sublease the Tower Space, the Shelter
Space, any potion of the Premises or any of Tenant's interest under this Lease. Any such sublease
or attempt to sublease shall constitute an event of default by the Tenant.
16. Default: Termination.
(a) In the event there is a breach by Tenant with respect to any of the provisions
of this Lease or its obligations under it, including the payment of rent, Landlord shall give Tenant
written notice of such breach. After receipt of such written notice, Tenant shall have fifteen (15)
days in which to cure any monetary breach and thirty (30) days in which to cure any non -monetary
breach, provided Tenant shall have such extended period as may be required beyond the thirty (30)
days if the nature of the cure is such that it reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days and
Tenant commences the cure within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter continuously and
diligently pursues the cure to completion. Landlord may not maintain any action or effect any
remedies for default against Tenant unless and until Tenant has failed to cure the breach within the
time periods provided in this Paragraph.

provisions of this Lease or its obligations under it, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of
such breach. After receipt of such written notice, Landlord shall have thirty (30) days in which to

thirty (30) days and Landlord commences the cure within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter

or effect any remedies for default against Landlord unless and until Landlord has failed to cure the
breach within the time periods provided in this Paragraph.
17. Remedies. Upon a default, the non -defaulting party may at its option (but without

behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required insurance policies. The
costs and expenses of any such performance by the non -defaulting party shall be due and payable
by the defaulting party upon invoice therefor. In the event of a default by either party with respect
to a material provision of this Lease, without limiting the non -defaulting party in the exercise of
any right or remedy which the non -defaulting party may have by reason of such default, the non -
defaulting party may terminate the Lease and/or pursue any remedy now or hereafter available to
the non -defaulting party under the Laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Premises
are located; provided, however, that the equitable remedy of specific performance is hereby waived
by both parties; and provided, further, however, that Tenant will not assert any claim whatsoever
against Landlord for loss of anticipatory profits or any other indirect, special, incidental or
consequential damages incurred by Tenant as a result of the construction, maintenance, operation
or use of the Premises. If the non -defaulting party performs any of the defaulting party's
obligations hereunder, the full amount of the reasonable and actual cost and expense incurred by
the non -defaulting party shall immediately be due and owing by the defaulting party to the non -
defaulting party, and the defaulting party shall pay to the non -defaulting parry upon demand the
full undisputed amount thereof with interest thereon from the date of payment at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum. Upon a default by Tenant, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, elect
to: (a) re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property therefrom, either by summary
proceedings or by any appropriate action or proceeding at law; and/or (b) terminate this Lease by
giving ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant electing to terminate, whereupon, the terms of

hazardous substance into or upon the Property. Tenant agrees to bear full responsibility for curing
any breach of this covenant by causing all necessary cleanup and recovery of such substances to
