respective Owners, or, if required, in the name of the Manager, the licenses and permits reasonably required for the operation of the Sites as telecommunications sites, for the management, marketing and operation of the Sites (including such
licenses required to be obtained from the FAA and the FCC) and for the preparation, filing and payment of all reports, filings, taxes and fees required to be filed with or furnished to the SEC or tax authorities. The cost of complying with this

 5 








 SECTION 6. Authority of Manager. During the Term hereof, the parties recognize that
Manager will be acting as the exclusive agent of the Owners with regard to the Services described herein. Each Owner hereby grants to the Manager the exclusive right and authority, and hereby appoints the Manager as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Owner and in the name of such Owner, to negotiate, execute, implement or terminate, as circumstances dictate, for and on behalf of such Owner, any and all Leases, ground leases,
site management agreements, easements, contracts, permits, licenses, registrations, approvals, amendments and other instruments, documents, and agreements as the Manager deems necessary or advisable in accordance with the Operation Standards. In
addition, the Manager will have full discretion in determining whether to commence litigation on behalf of an Owner, and will have full authority to act on behalf of each Owner in any litigation proceedings or settlement discussions commenced by or
against any Owner. Each Owner shall promptly execute such other or further documents as the Manager may from time to time reasonably request to more completely effect or evidence the authority of the Manager hereunder, including the delivery of such
powers of attorney (or other similar authorizations) as the Manager may reasonably request to enable it to carry out the Services hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Manager shall not have the right or power, and in no
event shall it have any obligation, to institute, or to join any other Person in instituting, or to authorize a trustee or other Person acting on its behalf or on behalf of others to institute, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency, liquidation or receivership proceedings under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof with respect to any Owner. 
 SECTION 7. Accounts. 
 (a) Accounts. Subject to Section 9(c),
the Manager shall establish and maintain one or more operating bank accounts in the name of an Owner or on behalf of one or more Owners (such account or accounts being the “Accounts”). The Owners shall maintain funds in the Accounts
sufficient to run their respective businesses at all times (including funds sufficient to pay all expenses for the next month, including any interest payment due during the next month pursuant to the Indenture). At all times during the Term of this
Agreement the Manager shall have full access to the Accounts for the purposes set forth herein, and all checks or disbursements from the Accounts will require only the signature of the Manager. Funds may be withdrawn by Manager from the Accounts
only (i) to pay expenses and make expenditures in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) to withdraw amounts deposited in error and (iii) if the Manager determines, in accordance with the Operation Standards, that the amount on
deposit in the Accounts exceeds the amount required to pay the Owners’ expenses and make the Owners’ necessary expenditures for the next month as the same become due and payable, to make such other distributions as the Owner Representative
may direct. The Manager may direct any institution maintaining the Accounts to invest the funds held therein in one or more Permitted Investments as the Manager may select in its discretion. All interest and investment income realized on funds
deposited therein shall be deposited to the Accounts. 
 SECTION 8. Budgets. Upon request by the Owners, on or before
February 15 of each year, the Manager shall deliver to the Owner Representative a Budget for such year (in each case presented on a monthly and annual basis). The Budget shall identify and set forth the Managers’ reasonable estimate, after
due consideration, of all expenses and expenditures on a line-item basis consistent with the form of budgets previously provided to the Owners. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Budget represents an estimate only, and that
actual expenses and expenditures may vary from those set forth in the applicable Budget. In the event the Manager determines, in accordance with the Operation Standards, that the actual expenses or expenditures for any year will materially differ
from those set forth in the applicable Budget for such year, such Budget shall, at the request of the Manager and subject to the Transaction Documents, be modified or supplemented as appropriate to reflect such differences. 

SECTION 9. Expenses and Capital Expenditures. 
 (a) The Manager is hereby authorized to incur expenses and to make capital expenditures on behalf of the Owners, the necessity, nature and amount of which may be determined in Manager’s discretion in
accordance with the Operation Standards. If a Budget has been prepared for the applicable year, the Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to incur expenses and to make capital expenditures within the limits prescribed by the Budgets;
provided that the Manager may at any time incur expenses and make capital expenditures in amounts that exceed the expenses or capital expenditures, as the case may be, specified in the applicable Budget if and to the extent that the Manager
determines in accordance with the Operation Standards that it is necessary or advisable to do so. 

  
 6 








 (b) The Manager shall maintain accurate records with respect to each Site reflecting the
status of real estate and personal property taxes, ground lease payments, insurance premiums and other expenses payable in respect thereof and shall furnish to the Owner Representative from time to time such information regarding the payment status
of such items as the Owner Representative may from time to time reasonably request. The Manager shall arrange for the payment of all such real estate and personal property taxes, ground lease payments, insurance premiums and other expenses as the
same become due and payable out of funds available in the Accounts. All expenses and capital expenditures paid by the Manager will be funded through the Accounts and the Manager shall have no obligation to subsidize, incur, or authorize any expense
or capital expenditure that cannot, or will not be paid by or through the Accounts. If the Manager determines that the funds on deposit in the Accounts are not sufficient to pay all expenses related to the Sites as the same shall become due and
payable, the Manager shall notify the Owner Representative of the amount of such deficiency and the Owners shall deposit the amount of such deficiency therein as soon as practicable. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, if at any time the Accounts have not been established or maintained, the Manager shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to establish and maintain such Accounts as promptly as practicable and, during any period in which the Accounts have not been established or maintained, shall cause all expenses and any capital expenditures to be
paid, whether out of its own funds or otherwise. In the event that the Accounts have been established and maintained and there is a deficiency in the Accounts, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay expenses or make capital
expenditures out of its own funds, but shall have no obligation to do so. The Owners, jointly and severally, shall be obligated to pay or reimburse the Manager for all such expenses paid and capital expenditures made by the Manager out of its own
funds plus interest thereon at the Prime Rate; provided that such interest may be paid only if (i) the Accounts have been established and the reimbursement relates to a deficiency in the Accounts and (ii) such interest is requested
by the Manager. 
 SECTION 10. Compensation. In consideration of the Manager’s agreement to perform the Services
described herein, during the Term hereof, the Owners hereby jointly and severally agree to pay to the Manager a fee (the “Management Fee”), on each Monthly Payment Date, equal to 7.5% of the Operating Revenues for the immediately
preceding calendar month. On each Monthly Payment Date, the Manager shall report to the Owners the Management Fee then due and payable based on the best information regarding Operating Revenues for the immediately preceding calendar month then
available to it. If the Manager subsequently determines that the Management Fee so paid to it was less than what should have been paid (based on a recomputation of the Operating Revenues for such calendar month), then the Management Fee due on the
next Monthly Payment Date following the date of such determination shall be increased by the amount of the underpayment. If the Manager subsequently determines that the Management Fee so paid to it was higher than what should have been paid (based
on a re-computation of the Operating Revenues for such calendar month), then the Management Fee due on the next Monthly Payment Date following the date of such determination shall be reduced by the amount of the overpayment. Upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement as set forth in Section 20, the Manager shall be entitled to receive, on the next succeeding Monthly Payment Date, the portion of the Management Fee which was earned by the Manager through the effective
date of such expiration or termination (such earned portion being equal to the product at (a) the total Management Fee that would have been payable for the month in which such expiration or termination occurred had this Agreement remained in
effect multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such month through the effective of such expiration or termination, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such month). The Manager shall
be entitled to no other fees or payments from the Owners as a result of the termination or expiration of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. All expenses necessary to the performance of the Manager’s duties (other than expenses
and any capital expenditures, all of which are payable by the Owners) will be paid from the Manager’s own funds. 
 SECTION
11. Employees. The Manager shall employ, supervise and pay at all times a sufficient number of capable employees as may be necessary for Manager to perform the Services hereunder in accordance with the Operation Standards. All employees of
Manager will be employed at the sole cost of the Manager. All matters pertaining to the employment, supervision, compensation, promotion, and discharge of such employees are the sole responsibility of Manager, who is, in all respects, the employer
of such employees. To the 

  
 7 








 
extent the Manager, its designee, or any subcontractor negotiates with any union lawfully entitled to represent any such employees, it shall do so in its own name and shall execute any collective
bargaining agreements or labor contracts resulting therefrom in its own name and not as an agent for any Owner. The Manager shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations related to workers’ compensation, social
security, ERISA, unemployment insurance, hours of labor, wages, working conditions, and other employer-employee related subjects. The Manager is independently engaged in the business of performing management and operation services as an independent
contractor. All employment arrangements are therefore solely Manager’s concern and responsibility, and the Owners shall have no liability with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 12. Books, Records and Inspections. The Manager shall, on behalf of the Owners, keep such materially accurate and complete books and records pertaining to the Sites and the Services as may
be necessary or appropriate under the Operation Standards. Such books and records shall include all corporate records, monthly summaries of all accounts receivable and accounts payable, maintenance records, insurance policies, receipted bills and
vouchers, and other documents and papers pertaining to the Sites (including the Leases, site management agreements and ground leases). All such books and records (“Records”) shall be kept in an organized fashion and in a secure
location and separate from records relating to other management agreements. During the Term of this Agreement, the Manager shall afford to the Owners and the Trustee (solely to the extent required pursuant to the Transaction Documents) access to any
Records relating to the Sites and the Services within its control, except to the extent it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law or the terms of any applicable obligation of confidentiality or to the extent such information is subject to a
privilege under applicable law to be asserted on behalf of the Owners. Such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Manager designated by it.

 SECTION 13. Insurance Requirements. 
 (a) Owner Insurance. The Manager shall maintain, on behalf of the Owners, all insurance policies required to be maintained by the Owners pursuant to the Transaction Documents and such other
insurance policies as the Manager shall determine to be necessary or appropriate in accordance with the Operation Standards. The Manager shall prepare and present, on behalf of the Owners, claims under any such insurance policy in a timely fashion
in accordance with the terms of such policy. Any payments on such policy shall be made to the Manager as agent of and for the account of the Owners. 
 (b) Manager’s Insurance. The Manager shall maintain, at its own expense, a commercial crime policy and professional liability insurance policy. Any such commercial crime policy and
professional liability insurance shall protect and insure the Manager against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, errors and omissions and negligent acts of the employees of the Manager and shall be maintained in a form and amount
consistent with customary industry practices for managers of properties such as the Sites. The Manager shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such commercial crime policy and professional
liability policy and the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Manager. Annually, upon request of the Owner Representative, the Manager shall cause to be delivered to the Owner Representative a certification evidencing coverage under such
commercial crime policy and professional liability insurance policy. Any such commercial crime policy or professional liability insurance policy shall not be cancelled without 10 days’ prior notice to the Owner Representative. In cases where
any Owner and Manager maintain insurance policies that duplicate coverage, then the policies of such Owner shall provide primary coverage and Manager’s policies shall be excess and non-contributory. 

SECTION 14. Environmental.

Date shall be automatically extended to the date that is 30 days after the then-current Expiration Date without any action on the part of any party, unless the Owner Representative, acting in its sole and absolute discretion, delivers notice to
