than the payment of amounts due from the Owners thereunder, which payments shall be paid out of the Operating Account as provided herein). If any Owner is obligated to or otherwise undertakes any alterations or improvements to a Tower Site, the
Manager shall arrange for such alteration or improvement on the Owner’s behalf and at the Owner’s expense.

other amounts due under the Leases (whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise), to terminate any Lease and/or to evict any Tenant. The Manager shall also have the right, in accordance with the Operation Standards, to compromise, settle, and
otherwise resolve claims and disputes with regard to Leases and Tower Site Management Agreements. The Manager may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive any payment on, and permit the release of any Tenant on, any

permits, licenses, certificates of occupancy, statutes and deed restrictions applicable to the Tower Sites. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to apply for, obtain and maintain, in
the name of the respective Owners, or, if required, in the name of the Manager, the licenses and permits reasonably required for the operation of the Tower Sites as telecommunications sites, or for the management, marketing and operation of the
Tower Sites (including such licenses required to be obtained from the FAA and the FCC). The cost of complying with this paragraph shall be the responsibility of the Owners, shall be considered an Operating Expense, shall be included in the Operating
Budget and will be payable out of the Operating Account.

specified therein. In addition, the Manager will, from time to time upon request, furnish to each Rating Agency and the Servicer such additional information pertaining to the Tower Sites as such Rating Agency may reasonably request and in the case
of the Servicer, as the Servicer reasonably determines is necessary to perform its duties under the Servicing Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.
Administrative Services. During the Term of this Agreement, the Manager shall, subject to the terms hereof, provide to each Owner the following administrative services in accordance with the Operation Standards (collectively, the
“Administrative Services”): 
 (i) provide to the Owners clerical, bookkeeping and accounting services,
including maintenance of general records of the Owners and the preparation of monthly financial statements, as necessary or appropriate in light of the nature of the Owners’ business and the requirements of the Transaction Documents;

 (ii) maintain accurate books of account and records of the transactions of each Owner, render statements or copies thereof
from time to time as reasonably requested by such Owner and assist in all audits of such Owner; 
 (iii) prepare and file, or
cause to be prepared and filed, all franchise, withholding, income and other tax returns of such Owner required to be filed by it and arrange for any taxes owing by such Owner to be paid to the appropriate authorities out of funds of such Owner
available for such purpose, all on a timely basis and in accordance with applicable law, rules or regulations; 
  

 4 








 (iv) administer such Owner’s performance under the Transaction Documents, including
(A) preparing and delivering on behalf of such Owner such opinions of counsel, officers’ certificates, financial statements, reports, notices and other documents as are required under the Transaction Documents and (B) holding,
maintaining and preserving the Transaction Documents and books and records relating to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated or funded thereby, and making such books and records available for inspection in accordance with the
terms of the Transaction Documents; 
 (v) take all actions on behalf of such Owner as may be necessary or appropriate in
order for such Owner to remain duly organized and qualified to carry out its business under applicable law, rules or regulations, including making all necessary or appropriate filings with federal, state and local authorities under corporate and
other applicable statutes; and 
 (vi) managing all litigation instituted by or against such Owner, including retaining on
behalf of and for the account of such Owner legal counsel to perform such services as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith and negotiating any settlements to be entered into in connection therewith. 
 SECTION 5. Operation Standards. The Manager shall perform the Services in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents,
the Leases, the Tower Site Management Agreements, the Ground Leases, the Easements and applicable law, rule and regulation and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, (i) using the same degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence that
the Owners employed in the management of their Tower Sites and operations prior to the date hereof and that the Manager uses for other sites it manages and (ii) with the objective of maximizing revenue and minimizing expenses on the Tower
Sites. The Tower Site Management Services shall be of a scope and quality not less than those generally performed by first class, professional managers of properties similar in type and quality to the Tower Sites and located in the same market areas
as the Tower Sites. The Manager hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of each of the Transaction Documents and agrees not to take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the Owners to be in default thereunder. 
 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, Tower 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 subject to the
Operation Standards in determining whether to commence litigation on behalf of an Owner, and will have full authority to 

  

 5 








 
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. The Manager hereby disclaims any and all interests in the Central Account (and any Sub-Accounts thereof), the Lock Box Account and in any of the Rents, taxes, other
Receipts, profits or other sums payable to the Owners. Upon written notice from the Trustee or the Servicer that an Event of Default has occurred, the Manager agrees to apply Rents, taxes, other Receipts, profits or other sums payable to the Owners
as instructed by the Trustee or Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee. 
 SECTION 7. Operating Account; Receipts. 
 (a) Operating Account. Subject to Section 9(c), the Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to establish and
maintain, within sixty (60) days of the date hereof, one or more operating bank accounts in the name of an Owner and/or on behalf of one or more Owners (such account or accounts being the “Operating Account”). The Owners shall
maintain funds in the Operating Account for the payment of Capital Expenditures and Operating Expenses (other than the Management Fee and Impositions and Insurance Premiums that are to be paid pursuant to Article V of the Indenture) in accordance
with the amount and timing set forth in the Budget. At all times during the Term of this Agreement the Manager shall have full access to the Operating Account for the purposes set forth herein, and all checks or disbursements from the Operating
Account will require only the signature of the Manager. Funds may be withdrawn by Manager from the Operating Account only (i) to pay Operating Expenses and Capital 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 Operating Account exceeds the amount required to pay the Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures 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 Operating Account 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 Operating Account. 
 (b) Receipts. The Manager shall cause all Receipts to be deposited into the Lock Box Account (or to the Central Account or the
appropriate sub-account thereof, to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents) as soon as practicable and in any event within one (1) Business Day of the Manager’s receipt thereof. To the extent that the Manager holds
any Receipts, whether in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise, the Manager shall be deemed to hold the same in trust for the applicable Owner and for the benefit of the Trustee and shall remit such amounts to the Lock Box Account (or to the
Central Account or the appropriate sub-account thereof, to the extent required or permitted by the Transaction Documents) within one (1) Business Day after Manager’s receipt thereof.

 SECTION 8. Budgets. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Manager and the Owners have agreed on an initial Operating Budget and CapEx Budget for the current calendar year, copies of which are attached as Exhibit A. On or before February 15 of each year, the Manager shall deliver to the Owner
Representative and the Servicer an Operating Budget and CapEx Budget for such year (in each case presented on a monthly and annual basis). The Operating Budget shall identify and set forth the Managers’ reasonable estimate, after due
consideration, of all Operating Expenses on a line-item basis consistent with the form of Operating Budget attached as Exhibit A. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Operating Budget and the CapEx Budget represent an estimate
only, and that actual Operating Expenses and Capital 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 Operating Expenses or Capital
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. The Manager will furnish a copy of each Budget to the Servicer at the times required by the Transaction Documents. 
 SECTION 9. Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures. 
 (a) The Manager is hereby authorized to incur
Operating 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. The Manager shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to incur Operating Expenses and to make Capital Expenditures within the limits prescribed by the Budgets; provided, that the Manager may at any time incur Operating Expenses and make Capital Expenditures in amounts that
exceed the Operating 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.

 (b) The Manager shall maintain accurate records with respect to each Tower Site reflecting the status of real estate and
personal property taxes, ground lease payments, easement payments (if any), insurance premiums and other Operating Expenses payable in respect thereof and shall furnish to the Owner Representative and the Servicer from time to time such information
regarding the payment status of such items as the Owner Representative or the Servicer 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,
easement payments (if any), insurance premiums and other Operating Expenses as the same become due and payable out of funds available for that purpose in the Imposition and Insurance Reserve or the Operating Account, as applicable. All Operating
Expenses will be funded through the Imposition and Insurance Reserve or the Operating Account, as applicable, and the Manager shall have no obligation to subsidize, incur, or authorize any Operating Expense that cannot, or will not be paid by or
through the Imposition and Insurance Reserve or the Operating Account. If the Manager determines that the funds on deposit in the Imposition and Insurance Reserve and the Operating Account are not sufficient to pay all Operating Expenses related to
the Tower Sites as the same 

  

 7 








 
shall become due and payable, the Manager shall notify the Owner Representative, the Servicer and the Trustee of the amount of such deficiency and, subject
to the applicable provisions of the Indenture and other Transaction Documents, 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 Operating Account has not been established or maintained, the Manager
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to establish and maintain the Operating Account as promptly as practicable and, during any period in which the Operating Account has not been established or maintained, shall cause all Operating Expenses and
any Capital Expenditures to be paid, whether out of its own funds or otherwise. In the event that the Operating Account has been established and maintained and there is a deficiency in the Operating Account, the Manager may, in its sole discretion,
elect to pay Operating 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 Operating 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 Operating Account has been established and the reimbursement relates to a
deficiency in the Operating Account, (ii) such interest is requested by the Manager and (iii) such interest is permitted to be paid under the Indenture and the Cash Management Agreement. 
 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 Payment Date, equal to ten percent (10%) of the Operating Revenues for the immediately preceding calendar month. On the day
that is three (3) Business Days prior to each 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 Management Fee so paid to it was less 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 Payment Date following the date of such determination shall be increased by the amount of the underpayment. If the Manager subsequently determines that 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 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 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 Operating
Expenses and any Capital Expenditures, all of which are payable by the Owners) will be paid from the Manager’s own funds. 
  

 8 








 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 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 Tower Sites and the Services as may be necessary or appropriate under the Operation Standards. Such books and records shall
include all Leases, Tower Site Management Agreements, Ground Leases, Easements, 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 Tower Sites. All such books and records (“Records”) shall be kept in an organized fashion and in a secure location and separate from records relating to activities of the Manager which do not
relate to the duties of the Manager hereunder. During the Term of this Agreement, the Manager shall afford to the Owners, the Servicer and the Trustee access to any Records relating to the Tower 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 (and for the benefit of and to be held in trust for the Trustee to the extent provided in the Transaction Documents), except as otherwise required by the Transaction Documents. All such payments shall be
applied in accordance with the Transaction Documents or, if the Transaction Documents do not specify an application, shall be deposited into the Operating Account. The Manager shall provide to the Trustee and the Servicer on behalf of the Owners
such evidence of insurance and payments of the premiums thereof required pursuant to the Owners’ obligations under Section 7.05 of the Indenture. 
  

 9 








 (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 Tower 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 Servicer or the Owner
Representative, the Manager shall cause to be delivered to the Owner Representative, the Servicer and the Trustee 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 ten (10) days prior written notice to the Owner Representative, the Servicer and the Trustee. 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. 
 (a) None of the Owners is aware of any material
violations of Environmental Laws at the Tower Sites. 
 (b) The Manager shall not consent to the installation, use or
incorporation into the Tower Sites of any Hazardous Materials in violation of applicable Environmental Laws and shall not consent to the discharge, dispersion, release, or storage, treatment, generation or disposal of any pollutants or toxic or
Hazardous Materials, other than in compliance with Environmental Laws and covenants and agrees to take reasonable steps to comply with the Environmental Laws. 
 (c) Manager covenants and agrees (i) that it shall advise the Owner Representative, the Servicer and the Trustee in writing of each
notice of any material violation of Environmental Law of which Manager has actual knowledge, promptly after Manager obtains actual knowledge thereof, and (ii) to deliver promptly to the Owner Representative, the Servicer and the Trustee copies
of all communications from any Federal, state and local governmental authorities received by Manager concerning any such violation and Hazardous Material on, at or about the Tower Sites. 
 SECTION 15. Cooperation. Each Owner and the Manager shall cooperate with the other parties hereto in connection with the performance of any
responsibility required hereunder, under the Transaction Documents or otherwise related to the Tower Sites or the Services. In the case of the Owners, such cooperation shall include (i) executing such documents and/or performing such acts as
may be required to protect, preserve, enhance, or maintain the Tower Sites or the Operating Account, (ii) executing such documents as may be reasonably required to accommodate a Tenant or its installations, (iii) furnishing to the Manager,
on or prior 

  

 10 








 
to the Effective Date, all keys, key cards or access codes required in order to obtain access to the Tower Sites, (iv) furnishing to the Manager, on or
prior to the Effective Date, all books, records, files, abstracts, contracts, Leases, Tower Site Management Agreements, materials and supplies, budgets and other Records relating to the Tower Sites or the performance of the Services and
(v) providing to the Manager such other information as Manager considers reasonably necessary for the effective performance of the Services. In the case of the Manager, such cooperation shall include cooperating with the Trustee, the Servicer,
potential purchasers of any of the Tower Sites, appraisers, sellers of Tower Sites, auditors and their respective agents and representatives, with the view that such parties shall be able to perform their duties efficiently and without interference.

 SECTION 16. Representations and Warranties of Manager. The Manager makes the following representations and warranties to the Owners
all of which shall survive the execution, delivery, performance or termination of this Agreement: 
 (a) The Manager is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 
 (b)
The Manager’s execution and delivery of, performance under and compliance with this Agreement will not violate the Manager’s organizational documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would
constitute a default) under, or result in a material breach of, any material agreement or other material instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound. 
 (c) The Manager has the full power and authority to own its properties, to conduct its business as presently conducted by it and to enter

binding obligation of the Manager, enforceable against the Manager in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 (e) The Manager is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of, performance under and compliance with this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter,
or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in the Manager’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of the
Manager to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of the Manager. 
 (f) The Manager’s
execution and delivery of, performance under and compliance with, this Agreement do not breach or result in a violation of, or default under, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or instrument to which the Manager is a party or

under this Agreement or the financial condition of the Manager.

 (a) Such Owner is a limited liability company or corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization. 
 (b) Such Owner’s execution and delivery of, performance under and compliance with this
Agreement will not violate such Owner’s organizational documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in a material breach of, any material agreement or
other material instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound. 
 (c) Such Owner has the full power and authority

under this Agreement or the financial condition of such Owner. 
 SECTION 18. Restrictions on Other Activities of Manager. The Manager
hereby covenants and agrees that (i) it shall not engage in any business except as contemplated by this Agreement and other management agreements or arrangements with Affiliates of the Manager and/or third parties not affiliated with the
Manager or any Owner and in business activities other than but related to the management of wireless telecommunications facilities (including the development and operation of such facilities) (“Permitted Operations”), (ii) it
shall not incur any indebtedness or other liabilities except for obligations hereunder and under other management agreements (including salaries and benefits of its officers and employees) and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business
in connection with its Permitted Operations and (iii) it shall comply in all material respects with the provisions of its organizational documents. 
 SECTION 19. Removal or Substitution of Tower Sites. If during the Term of this Agreement an Owner assigns or otherwise transfers all of its right, title and interest in and to any Tower Site to a Person other
than another Owner or the Trustee (whether pursuant to a taking under the power of eminent domain or otherwise) or otherwise ceases to have an interest in a Tower Site, this Agreement shall terminate (as to that Tower Site only) on the date of such
assignment or transfer and the Owners shall promptly deliver to Manager an amendment to Schedule I reflecting the removal of such Tower Site from the scope of this Agreement. Upon the termination of this Agreement as to a particular Tower Site, the
Manager and the respective Owner of such Tower Site shall be released and discharged from all liability hereunder with respect to such Tower Site for the period from and after the applicable termination date and the Manager shall have no further
obligation to perform any Tower Site Management Services with respect thereto from and after such date. In addition, the Owners may at any time add any additional Tower Site to Schedule I in connection with a substitution or acquisition permitted
under the terms of the Transaction Documents. Upon such substitution or acquisition, the Owners shall promptly deliver to the Manager an amendment to Schedule I reflecting the addition of such Tower Site, whereupon the Manager shall assume
responsibility for the performance of the Tower Site Management Services hereunder with respect to such Tower Site. 
 SECTION 20. Term of
Agreement. 
 (a) Term. This Agreement shall be in effect during the period (the “Term”)
commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 20. Immediately prior to the then-current Expiration Date, the Expiration
Date shall be automatically extended to the date that is thirty (30) days after the then-current Expiration Date without any 

  

 13 








 
action on the part of any party, unless the Owner Representative, acting in its sole and absolute discretion, delivers written notice to the contrary to the
Manager prior to the then-current Expiration Date in which case the Expiration Date shall remain the then-current Expiration Date. 
 (b) Termination for Cause. The Owner Representative (or the Trustee or the Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee) may terminate this Agreement following the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (each, a
“Manager Termination Event”): (i) an “Event of Default” under the Indenture has occurred and is then continuing; (ii) thirty (30) days after notice from the Trustee to the Owner Representative if the Manager
has engaged in fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct arising from, or in connection with, its performance under this Agreement which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) the Manager defaults under this
Agreement, such default is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and such default remains unremedied for thirty (30) days following written notice from the Owner Representative (or the Trustee or the Servicer acting on behalf of
the Trustee) to the Manager; or (iv) the DSCR falls to less than 1.0 as of the end of any calendar quarter and the Trustee (acting at the direction of Noteholders entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights) reasonably determines that such
decline is primarily attributable to acts or omissions of the Manager rather than factors affecting the Owners’ industry generally. Subject to Section 7.12(b) of the Indenture, no such termination shall be effective until a successor
manager has been appointed by the Owner Representative; provided that if no successor manager has been appointed within ninety (90) days of notice of such termination, either the Servicer or Controlling Holders Representative shall
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an established and qualified institution to act as successor manager. 
 (c) Automatic Termination for Bankruptcy, Etc. If the Manager or any Owner files a petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement, or makes an assignment for the benefit of the creditors or takes advantage of any insolvency
or similar law, or if a receiver or trustee is appointed for the assets or business of the Manager or any Owner and is not discharged within ninety (90) days after such appointment, then this Agreement shall terminate automatically;
provided, however, that with respect to any such filing by the Manager, and subject to Section 7.12(b) of the Indenture, this Agreement shall not terminate until the Owner Representative shall have appointed a successor manager or
the Servicer or the Controlling Holders Representative shall have petitioned a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an established and qualified institution to act as successor manager; provided that if any such event shall occur with
respect to less than all of the Owners, then this Agreement will terminate solely with respect to the Owner or Owners for which such event has occurred and the respective Tower Sites owned, leased or managed by such Owner(s). Upon the termination of
this Agreement as to a particular Owner, the Manager and such Owner shall be released and discharged from all liability hereunder for the period from and after the applicable termination date and the Manager shall have no further obligation to
perform any Services for such Owner or any Tower Sites owned, leased or managed by such Owner from and after such date. 
 (d)
Resignation By Manager. Unless and until all Obligations due and owing under the Transaction Documents have been fully satisfied, the Manager shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it hereunder except upon
determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which can be taken to make the performance of its duties hereunder 

  

 14 








 
permissible under applicable law. Any such determination under clause (d)(i) above permitting the resignation of the Manager shall be evidenced by an opinion
of counsel (who is not an employee of the Manager) to such effect delivered, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory, to the Owner Representative and the Servicer. Unless applicable law requires the Manager’s resignation to be
effective immediately, and the opinion of counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence so states, no resignation under this Section 20(d) shall be effective until a successor manager has been appointed by the Owner Representative, subject
to Section 7.12(b) of the Indenture; provided that if no successor manager has been appointed within ninety (90) days of notice of such resignation, either the Servicer or Controlling Holders Representative shall petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint an established and qualified institution to act as successor manager. From and after the date on which all Obligations due and owing under the Transaction Documents have been fully satisfied, the Manager shall have
the right in its sole and absolute discretion, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Owner Representative and the Servicer, to resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it. This Agreement shall terminate on the
effective date of any resignation of the Manager permitted under this paragraph (d). 
 SECTION 21. Duties Upon Termination. Upon the
expiration or termination of the Term, the Manager shall have no further right to act for any Owner or to draw checks on the Operating Account and shall promptly (i) furnish to the Owner Representative or its designee all keys, key cards or
access codes required in order to obtain access to the Tower Sites, (ii) deliver to the Owner Representative or its designee all rent, income, tenant security deposits and other monies due or belonging to the Owners under this Agreement but
received after such termination, (iii) deliver to the Owner Representative or its designee all books, files, abstracts, contracts, leases, materials and supplies, budgets and other Records relating to the Tower Sites or the performance of the
Services and (iv) upon request, assign, transfer, or convey, as required, to the respective Owners all service contracts and personal property relating to or used in the operation and maintenance of the Tower Sites, except any personal property
which was paid for and is owned by Manager. The Manager shall also, for a period of six (6) months after such expiration or termination, make itself available to consult with and advise the Owners regarding the operation and maintenance of the
Tower Sites or otherwise to facilitate an orderly transition of management to a new manager of the Tower Sites. This Section 21 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement (whether in whole or part). 
 SECTION 22. Indemnities. 
 (a) Subject to Section 23(g), the Owners jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold Manager harmless from and against, any and all suits, liabilities, damages, or claims for damages (including any reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs and expenses relating to any such suits, liabilities or claims), in any way relating to the Tower Sites, the Manager’s performance of the Services hereunder, or the exercise by the Manager of the
powers or authorities herein or hereafter granted to the Manager, except for those actions, omissions and breaches of Manager in relation to which the Manager has agreed to indemnify the Owners pursuant to Section 22(b). 
 (b) Subject to Section 23(g), the Manager agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Owners harmless from and against any and all
suits, liabilities, damages, or claims for 

  

 15 








 
damages (including any reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs and expenses relating to any such suits, liabilities or claims), in any way
arising out of (i) any acts or omissions of the Manager or its agents, officers or employees in the performance of the Services hereunder constituting misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or (ii) any material breach of any representation
or warranty made by the Manager hereunder. 
 (c) “Indemnified Party” and “Indemnitor” shall
mean the Manager and Owners, respectively, as to Section 22(a) and shall mean the Owners and Manager, respectively, as to Section 22(b). If any action or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party with respect to which indemnity
may be sought under this Section 22, the Indemnitor, upon written notice from the Indemnified Party, shall assume the investigation and defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and payment of all expenses. The Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the Indemnitor shall not be required to pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel unless such separate counsel
is employed with the written approval and consent of the Indemnitor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or refused. 
 (d) The indemnities in this Section 22 shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement. 
 SECTION 23.
Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Amendments. No amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall
be effective unless in writing and executed and delivered by the Manager and the Owner Representative; provided, that until all Obligations due and owing under the Transaction Documents have been fully satisfied, any amendment, supplement,
waiver or other modification of this Agreement (other than non-material changes) shall also require delivery of prior written notice to each Rating Agency and written consent of the Servicer. No failure by any party hereto to insist on the strict
performance of any obligation, covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy available upon a breach of this Agreement, shall constitute a waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and may be delivered personally
or by commercial overnight carrier, telecopied or mailed (postage prepaid via the US postal service) to the applicable party at the following address (or at such other address as the party may designate in writing from time to time); however, any

upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the rights, interests, duties, or obligations created by this Agreement may be assigned, transferred, or delegated in whole or
in part by the Manager or any Owner, and any such purported assignment, transfer, or delegation shall be void; provided, however, that (i) the Owners may assign this Agreement to the Trustee and grant a security interest in their
rights and interests hereunder pursuant to the Transaction Documents and (ii) the Manager may, in accordance with the Operation Standards, utilize the services of third-party service providers to perform all or any portion of its Services

compensation shall be required to be paid by the Owners in connection with any such third-party service provider. 
 (d)

one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby. 
 (e) Limitations on Liability. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Manager nor any director, officer, employee or agent of the Manager shall
be under any liability to the Owners or any other Person for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Manager
against any liability to the Owners, the Trustee or the Servicer for the material breach of a representation or warranty made by the Manager herein or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed on the Manager by reason of misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Services hereunder. 
 (ii) No party will be liable to any other for
special, indirect, incidental, exemplary, consequential or punitive damages, or loss of profits, arising from the relationship of the parties or the conduct of business under, or breach of, this Agreement, except where such damages or loss of
profits are claimed by or awarded to a third party in a claim or action against which a party to this Agreement has a specific obligation to indemnify another party to this Agreement. 
  

 17 








 (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any rights which the
Manager might otherwise have at law, in equity, or by statute, any liability of an Owner to the Manager shall be satisfied only from such Owner’s interest in the Tower Sites, the Leases, the Tower Site Management Agreements, the Insurance
Policies and the proceeds thereof, and then only to the extent that such Owner has funds available to satisfy such liability in accordance with the Transaction Documents (any such available funds being hereinafter referred to as “Available
Funds”). In the event the Available Funds of an Owner are insufficient to pay in full any such liabilities of an Owner, the excess of such liabilities over such Available Funds shall not constitute a claim (as defined in the United States
Bankruptcy Code) against such Owner unless and until a proceeding of the type described in Section 23(j) is commenced against such Owner by a party other than the Manager. 
 (iv) No officer, director, employee, agent, shareholder, member or Affiliate of any Owner or the Manager (except, in the case of an Owner,

Services.

 (g) Litigation Costs. If any legal action or other proceeding of any kind is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement or because of a default, misrepresentation, or any other dispute in connection with any
provision of this Agreement or the Services, the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all fees and other costs incurred in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. 
 (h) Confidentiality. Each party hereto agrees to keep confidential (and (a) to cause its respective officers, directors and
employees to keep confidential and (b) to use its best efforts to cause its respective agents and representatives to keep confidential) the Information (as defined below) and all copies thereof, extracts therefrom and analyses or other

Services, other than any of the foregoing that are or become publicly available other than by a breach of the confidentiality provisions contained herein. 
 (i) Owners’ Representative and Agent. From time to time during the Term, the Owners shall appoint one (1) Owner (the “Owner Representative”) to serve as the Owners’
representative and agent to act, make decisions, and grant any necessary consents or approvals hereunder, collectively, on behalf of all of the Owners. Each Owner hereby appoints Pinnacle Towers Acquisition Holdings LLC as the initial Owner
Representative hereunder and hereby authorizes the Owner Representative to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Owner Representative by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. 
 (j) No Petition. Prior to the date that is one year and one day after the date on

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 against any Owner. 
 (k) Permitted Operations. The Owners hereby acknowledge and agree that the Manager may engage in Permitted Operations and, as a
result, the Manager may engage in business activities that are in competition with the business of the Owners in respect of the Tower Sites. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way preclude the Manager or its Affiliates, subsidiaries, officers,
employees and agents from engaging in any Permitted Operation (including the operation, maintenance, leasing and/or marketing of telecommunications sites for itself or for others), even if, by doing so, such activities could be construed to be in
competition with the business activities of the Owners; provided, that (i) if the Manager arranges for a Lease of a telecommunication site with a tenant that is also a Tenant under a Lease with an Owner, such new Lease will be separate
from and independent of the Lease(s) between the Tenant and such Owner, (ii) if the Tenant with respect to a Tower Site is an Affiliate of the Manager, the Manager shall perform all Services in respect of such Tower Site in the same manner as
