Pole(s) cannot be repaired or replaced within thirty (30) days, Lessee, at its sole
discretion, shall have the right to terminate the applicable Supplement upon thirty (30)
days’ written notice to Lessor. However, at Lessee's sole option, within thirty (30) days
after the casualty damage, Lessor must provide Lessee with a replacement Supplement to
lease space at a new location upon which the Parties mutually agree. The monthly rental
payable under the new replacement Supplement will not be greater than the monthly rental
payable under the terminated Supplement.
G. If Lessee’s installation requires a new Wireless Support Structure to be
constructed or an existing Wireless Support Structure to be replaced by Lessee (the
“Replacement Wireless Support Structure”) then, any such Replacement Wireless Support
Structure, shall be deemed to be a fixture on the Property and the Replacement Wireless
Support Structure shall be and remain the property of the Lessor, without further
consideration to or from Lessor. Upon completion of Lessee’s installation, Lessor shall be
responsible for any and all costs relating to the operation, maintenance, repair and disposal
of the Replacement Wireless Support Structure, unless such costs are due to the improper

operates. Any additions or material modifications shall require Lessor’s approval and may be
subject to an increase in rent if allowed by law.
10. GOVERMENTAL APPROVALS; PERMITS. It is understood and agreed that
Lessee's ability to use the Premises is contingent upon Lessee obtaining all of the certificates,
permits and other approvals (collectively the "Government Approvals") that may be required by
any Federal, State or Local authorities, as well as a satisfactory structural analysis that will permit
Lessee use of the Premises as set forth above. Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in its effort to
obtain the Governmental Approvals, and shall take no action which would adversely affect the
status of the Property with respect to the proposed use thereof by Lessee. Lessee shall have the
right to terminate the applicable Supplement if: (i) any of the applications for Governmental
Approvals is finally rejected; (ii) any Governmental Approval issued to Lessee is canceled,
Resolution No. 2017 – 69 Page 8
expires, lapses, or is otherwise withdrawn or terminated by governmental authority; (iii) Lessee
determines that the Governmental Approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner; (iv) Lessee
determines that the Premises is no longer technically compatible for its use; or (v) Lessee, in its
sole discretion, determines that the use of the Premises is obsolete or unnecessary. Notice of
Lessee's exercise of its right to terminate shall be given to Lessor in accordance with the notice
provisions set forth in Paragraph 20 and shall be effective upon the mailing of that notice by
Lessee, or upon such later date as designated by Lessee. All rentals paid to the termination date
shall be retained by Lessor. Upon such termination, the applicable Supplement shall be of no
further force or effect except to the extent of the representations, warranties, and indemnities
made by each Party to the other thereunder. Otherwise, the Lessee shall have no further
obligations for the payment of rent to Lessor for the terminated Supplement.
11. INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lessee agrees to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lessor, and its employees, officials, and agents from and
against all claims, actions, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees,
arising out of Lessee’s negligence, misconduct, or Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations
under this Agreement. Lessee’s indemnification obligation shall apply to Lessee’s contractors,
subcontractors, or anyone directly or indirectly employed or hired by Lessee, or anyone for whose
acts Lessee may be liable. Lessor will provide Lessee with prompt, written notice of any written
claim covered by this indemnification provision; provided that any failure of Lessor to provide any
such notice, or to provide it promptly, shall not relieve Lessee from its indemnification obligations
in respect of such claim, except to the extent Lessee can establish actual prejudice and direct
damages as a result thereof. Lessor will cooperate with Lessee in connection with Lessee’s
defense of such claim. Lessee shall not settle or compromise any such claim or consent to the
entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of Lessor and without an unconditional
release of all claims by each claimant or plaintiff in favor of Lessor. The indemnity obligation shall
survive the completion or termination of this Agreement.
12. INSURANCE
.
A. Waiver of Subrogation. To the extent allowed by law, Lessee hereby
waives and release any and all rights of action for negligence against Lessor which may
hereafter arise on account of damage to Lessee’s property, resulting from any fire, or
other casualty of the kind covered by standard fire insurance policies with extended
coverage, regardless of whether or not, or in what amounts, such insurance is now or
hereafter carried by Lessee. This waiver and release shall apply between the Parties and
shall also apply to any claim asserted as a right of subrogation. All such policies of
insurance obtained by Lessee concerning its property shall waive the insurer's right of
subrogation against Lessor.
B. General Liability. Lessee agrees that at its own cost and expense, it will
maintain commercial general liability insurance with limits not less than $2,000,000 per
occurrence; $4,000,000 annual aggregate, for bodily injury (including death) and for
damage or destruction to property. The policy shall cover liability arising from premises,

contractually assumed liability. Lessee shall add the Lessor as an additional insured.
Resolution No. 2017 – 69 Page 9
C. Automobile Liability. Lessee shall maintain commercial automobile liability
Insurance, including owned, hired, and non-owned automobiles, with a minimum
combined single liability limit of $2,000,000 per occurrence.
D. Workers’ Compensation. Lessee agrees to provide workers’ compensation
insurance for all its employees in accordance with the statutory requirements of the State
of Minnesota. Lessor shall also carry employers’ liability insurance with minimum limits as
follows: $500,000 for bodily injury by disease per employee; $500,000 aggregate for
bodily injury by disease; and $500,000 for bodily injury by accident.
E. Additional Insurance Conditions.
(i) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a certificate of insurance as evidence
that the above coverages are in full force and effect.
(ii) Lessee’s policies shall be primary insurance and non-contributory to
any other valid and collectible insurance available to Lessor with respect to any
claim arising under this Agreement.
(iii) Lessee’s policies and certificate of insurance shall contain a
provision that coverage afforded under the policies shall not be cancelled without
at least thirty (30) days’ advanced written notice to Lessor, or ten (10) days’
written notice for non-payment of premium.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except for indemnification obligations pursuant
to Paragraph 11, neither Party shall be liable to the other, or any of their respective agents,
representatives, 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. Lessee shall obtain a radio frequency interference study carried
out by an independent professional radio frequency engineer showing that Lessee’s intended use
will not interfere with any current communication facilities which are located on or near a
Wireless Support Structure. Lessee shall not transmit or receive radio waves at the Premises until
such evaluation has been satisfactorily completed and approved by lessor. Lessee agrees to install
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 Lessor or
other tenants of the Property which existed on the Property prior to the date the applicable
Supplement is executed by the Parties. In the event any after-installed Lessee’s equipment causes
such interference, and after Lessor has notified Lessee of such interference, Lessee will take all
commercially reasonable steps necessary to correct and eliminate the interference, including but
not limited to, at Lessee’s option, powering down such interfering equipment and later powering
up such interfering equipment for intermittent testing. If the interference continues for a period in
excess of 48 hours following such notification, Lessor shall have the right to require Lessee to
reduce power, and/or cease operations until such time Lessee can make repairs to the interfering
equipment. In no event will Lessor be entitled to terminate a Supplement or relocate the
Equipment as long as Lessee is making a good faith effort to remedy the interference issue. Lessor
Resolution No. 2017 – 69 Page 10
agrees that Lessor and/or any other users of the Property who currently have or in the future take
possession of the Property 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 Lessee. If Lessee determines, in its
reasonable discretion, that Lessor’s equipment or any other user’s equipment permitted by Lessor
is causing interference, Lessor shall, upon written communication from Lessee to Lessor take all
reasonable steps necessary to correct and eliminate the interference, including causing other users
causing such interference to correct and eliminate the interference. If the interference continues
for a period in excess of 48 hours following the notification, Lessor shall, or shall require any
other user to, reduce power and/or cease operations until such time as Lessor, or the other user,
can make repairs to the interfering equipment. The Parties acknowledge that there will not be an
adequate remedy at law for noncompliance with the provisions of this Paragraph and therefore,
either Party shall have the right to equitable remedies, such as, without limitation, injunctive relief
and specific performance.
15. REMOVAL. Lessee shall, within sixty (60) days after expiration of the Term, or
any earlier termination of a Supplement, or an abandonment of it facilities, remove its equipment,
conduits, fixtures and all personal property and restore the Premises to its original condition,
reasonable wear and tear excepted, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Lessor agrees and
acknowledges that all of the equipment, conduits, fixtures and personal property of Lessee shall
remain the personal property of Lessee and Lessee shall have the right to remove the same at any
time during the Term, whether or not said items are considered fixtures and attachments to real
property under applicable Laws. If the time for removal causes Lessee to remain on the Premises
after termination of the Supplement, Lessee shall pay rent at the then-existing monthly rate, until
such time as the removal of the equipment, fixtures and all personal property are completed. If
Lessee fails to remove its facilities within the required time period, Lessor reserves the right to
remove the facilities and charge Lessee for the full cost of the removal and storage charges.
16. RIGHTS UPON SALE. If, at any time during the Term of any Supplement, Lessor
decides: (i) to sell or transfer all or any part of the Property or the Wireless Support Structure
thereon to a purchaser other than Lessee, or (ii) to grant to a third party by easement or other
legal instrument an interest in that portion of the Property occupied by Lessee, or a larger portion
thereof, for the purpose of operating and maintaining communications facilities or the
management thereof, that sale or grant of an easement or interest therein shall be subject to the
Supplement, and any such purchaser or transferee must recognize Lessee's rights hereunder and
under the terms of the affected Supplement(s). If Lessor completes any such sale, transfer, or
grant described in this paragraph without executing an assignment of the Supplement in which the
third party agrees in writing to assume all obligations of Lessor under the Supplement, then
Lessor shall not be released from its obligations to Lessee under the Supplement, and Lessee shall
have the right to look to Lessor and the third party for the full performance of the Supplement.
17. QUIET ENJOYMENT AND REPRESENTATIONS. Lessor covenants that
Lessee, on paying the rent and performing the covenants herein and in a Supplement, shall
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises. Lessor represents and warrants to
Lessee as of the execution date of each Supplement, and covenants during the Term, that Lessor
is has good and sufficient title and interest to the Property, and has full authority to enter into and
Resolution No. 2017 – 69 Page 11
execute the Supplement. Lessor further covenants during the Term that there are no liens,
judgments or impediments of title on the Property, or affecting Lessor's title to the same and that
there are no covenants, easements or restrictions that prevent or adversely affect the use or
occupancy of the Premises by Lessee as provided in this Agreement and in the applicable
Supplement(s).
18. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement and each Supplement under it may be sold,
assigned or transferred by the Lessee without any approval or consent of the Lessor to the
Lessee's principal, affiliates, subsidiaries of its principal, or to any entity which acquires all or
substantially all of Lessee's assets in the market defined by the FCC in which the Property is
located by reason of a merger, acquisition or other business reorganization. As to other parties,
this Agreement and each Supplement may not be sold, assigned or transferred without the written
consent of the Lessor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

remedies for default against the breaching Party unless and until the breaching Party has failed to
cure the breach within the time periods provided in this Paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing
to the contrary, it shall be a default under this Agreement, or under an individual Supplement if
Lessor fails, within five (5) days after receipt of written notice of such breach, to perform an
obligation required to be performed by Lessor, and if the failure to perform that obligation
interferes with Lessee’s ability to conduct its business in the Premises; provided, however, that if
Resolution No. 2017 – 69 Page 12
the nature of Lessor’s obligation is such that more than five (5) days after notice is reasonably
required for its performance, then it shall not be a default under this Agreement or the applicable
Supplement if performance is commenced within such five (5) day period and thereafter diligently
pursued to completion, but in no event more than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of
written notice. Lessor and Lessee agree that a default under an individual Supplement does not
constitute a default under this Agreement
21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 20, the Parties
shall cooperate and use their best efforts to ensure that the various provisions of the Agreement
are fulfilled. The Parties agree to act in good faith to undertake resolution of disputes, in an
equitable and timely manner and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If disputes
cannot be resolved informally by the Parties, the following procedures shall be used:
A. Whenever there is a failure between the Parties to resolve a dispute on their
own, the Parties shall first attempt to mediate the dispute. The parties shall agree upon a
mediator, or if they cannot agree, shall obtain a list of court-approved mediators from the
Anoka County District Court Administrator and select a mediator by alternately striking
names until one remains. Lessor shall strike the first name followed by Lessee, and shall
continue in that order until one name remains.
B. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the end of
mediation proceedings, the Parties may pursue any legal or equitable remedy.
22. CASUALTY. In the event of damage by fire or other casualty to the Property that
cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired within forty-five (45) days following same or, if the
Property is damaged by fire or other casualty so that such damage may reasonably be expected to
disrupt Lessee's operations at the Premises for more than forty-five (45) days, then Lessee may, at
any time following such fire or other casualty, provided Lessor has not completed the restoration
required to permit Lessee to resume its operation at the Premises, terminate the Supplement upon
fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Lessor. Any such notice of termination shall cause the
Supplement to expire with the same force and effect as though the date set forth in such notice
were the date originally set as the expiration date of the Supplement and the Parties shall make an
appropriate adjustment, as of such termination date, with respect to payments due under the
Supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rent shall abate during the period of repair
following such fire or other casualty in proportion to the degree to which Lessee’s use of the
Premises is impaired.
23. APPLICABLE LAWS. Laws means any and all laws, regulations, ordinances,
resolutions, judicial decisions, rules, permits and approvals applicable to the subject of this
Agreement or Lessee’s use that are in force during the term of this Agreement, as lawfully
amended including, without limitation, Lessor’s city Code. Lessee and Lessor shall comply with
all applicable Laws. This Agreement does not limit any rights Lessee may have in accordance with
Laws to install its own poles in the right of way or to attach Lessee’s equipment to third-party
poles located in the right of way. This Agreement shall in no way limit or waive either party’s
present or future rights under Laws. If, after the date of this Agreement, the rights or obligations
of either Party are materially altered, preempted, or superseded by changes in Laws, the parties
Resolution No. 2017 – 69 Page 13
agree to amend the Agreement and/or Supplement to reflect the change in Laws.
24. GOVERNMENT DATA. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement
is considered public data not on individuals and is accessible to the public under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 13.03. Lessee and Lessor agrees to abide by the applicable provisions of the
