equal to the Adjusted Fair Market Value, and all necessary adjustments, payments
and repayments, if any, as may be required by virtue of such

which certain of the Communications Shelters and Co-Location Facilities may be
located; and "Right-of-Way" means one of the Rights-of-Way.

"Utilities Shelters" means the utilities shelters that are part of the Support
Structures.

3.   ASSETS INCLUDE ROW RIGHTS

     (a)  The Assets include the grant by the Vendor to the Purchaser with
          respect to the ROW Rights required for the use, operation and
          maintenance of the Assets and Support Structures during the Initial
          Term of a sublicense of the ROW Rights to be granted pursuant to a
          sublicense agreement to be executed and delivered as described in
          Section 10.1 of the Agreement (the "Sublicense Agreement").

     (b)  The purchase price referred to in Article 5 of the Agreement shall be
          inclusive of all consideration payable for applicable Underlying
          Rights for the Initial Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
          contained herein, the terms of the sublicensing of ROW Rights shall be
          subject to the terms of such Sublicense Agreement and any Rights
          granted to Purchaser pursuant to the Sublicense Agreement in
          accordance herewith shall be subject in all respects to the terms of
          applicable laws and of the Underlying Rights including, without

4.   INTEREST IN SUPPORT STRUCTURES

The Assets include the grant by the Vendor to the Purchaser, for no additional
consideration, of an undivided interest in all Support Structures related
thereto (including, for greater clarity, related Utilities Shelters) equal to
its proportionate share in the total Strands from time to time making up the
applicable segment of the Fiber Optic Cable(s) that will be shared with others
(such undivided interest shall be referred to as the "Support Structures
Interests"). The Purchaser acknowledges that the Support Structures will be
owned by all owners of Strands permitted by the Rights-of-Way and may be used by
such owners or others granted rights in the strands.

5.   COMMUNICATIONS SHELTERS AND CO-LOCATION FACILITIES

The Assets include the Communications Shelters and Co-Location Facilities, but
not any interest in the land upon which such Communication Shelters and
Co-Location Facilities are located. Where Exhibit A-1 indicates that the Assets
include a communications shelter, then the Assets include all right, title and
interest of the Vendor in and to such communications shelter. Where Exhibit A-1
indicates that the Assets include co-location facilities, the Assets include the
grant by the Vendor to the Purchaser of non-exclusive licences of occupation in
respect of such co-location facilities, to be included in a co-location
agreement in a form acceptable to the Purchaser and the Vendor, acting
reasonably and in good faith.

The Assets include the grant by the Vendor to the Purchaser of non-exclusive
licenses of occupation in a form acceptable to the Purchaser and the Vendor,
acting reasonably and in good faith (a "Shelter License") in respect of each
Communications Shelter and Co-Location Facility that is not located on one of
the Underlying Rights, for the Initial Term, pursuant to Shelter License
agreements to be executed and delivered as described in this Section 5, and such
Shelter Licenses shall entitle Purchaser (at no cost to Purchaser during the
Initial Term) to keep such Communications Shelters at the location supplied and
(at Purchaser's cost) to maintain, repair and improve any equipment or materials
in such Communications Shelters and to have exclusive access to the interior of
the Communications Shelters.
