Fiber (collectively the “Authorizations”) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain or
renew all such Authorizations throughout the Lease Term. If any Authorizations are modified or
terminated, threatening to cause or causing material financial harm to Lessor, or preventing or

upon notice which is reasonably practicable, with respect to the affected Leased Fiber without
further obligation or liability to MetroPCS, except that Lucent will refund to MetroPCS any charges
paid by MetroPCS for periods of use extending beyond the date of termination.

(e.g., through eminent domain, nationalization, or expropriation), (ii) in order to comply with
applicable laws, (iii) to reduce governmental fees or taxes assessed against it or Lucent, or (iv)
for bonafide operational reasons. Lessor has agreed to provide Lucent ***
prior notice of a relocation, if reasonably feasible, and Lucent will in turn immediately notify
MetfoPCS. MetroPCS further acknowledges that Lessor has the right to direct such relocation,
including the right to determine the extent of, the timing of, and methods to be used for such
relocation, provided that any relocation: (y) is constructed and tested in accordance with the
specifications for the Leased Fiber; (vi) does not result in a Materially adverse change to the
operations, performance, or connection points with MetroPCS’s network; and (vii) does not
interrupt service on the Leased Fiber.

(b) Lessor has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: secure an agreement for
reimbursement from any third party requiring a relocation. If, despite using such efforts, Lessor
is unable to obtain such reimbursement, Lessor has agreed to provide Lucent an estimate of the
relocation costs of any relocation pursuant to Section 4 (a) (i), (ii) or (iii) for which it is not
receiving reimbursement and to the extent Lessor shall not be reimbursed by the requesting third
party, Lucent shall notify MetroPCS of the pro rata share of those costs which shall be the ratio
of the number of Leased Fibers to the number of total relocated fiber strands in such relocated
segment. MetroPCS may elect to pay the pro rata share of such costs or not. If MetroPCS elects
not to pay the pro rata share, Lessor, in its sole discretion may either undertake the relocation
at no cost, or terminate the lease agreement with respect to the affected Customer Locations
without further liability.
