7.2.1 For the period of time from the Effective Date until the end of the
second calendar year, Licensee shall pay to City, commencing forty-five (45)
calendar days after execution of any Amendment, the amounts listed in the most
current published rents schedule approved by the City Manager and available on
the City's website, for each Streetlight, per month, based upon the License Year
at the time of Amendment to the Master License, and the number of License Areas.
7.2.2 After the time period set forth in Section 7.2.1, the Rent for each
Streetlight, shall either be: (1) Twenty-Two Dollars and Fifty Cents ($22.50) per
month (i.e. Two Hundred and Seventy Dollars ($270) per year); or (2) any higher

Released September 27, 2018 ("FCC 2018 Order"), or any FCC subsequent order
or ruling related to small wireless facilities use of the Public Right-of Way.
7.2.3 In the event the FCC 2018 Order provisions related charges for
small wireless facilities use of the Public Right-of-Way, are determined to be
invalid, removed, stayed, or altered in a significant manner by the FCC or a court
of competent jurisdiction ("Subsequent Significant Action"), either Party to this
Agreement may request that the Parties meet and confer as to whether the Rent
provisions in this Master License should be modified. If after good faith negotiation

hereunder, the Rent for each Streetlight, per month, shall revert to the most current
published rents schedule approved by.the City Manager and available on the City's
website.

Telecommunications Facilities and appurtenant equipment and facilities.
7.2.5 During the period commencing two (2) calendar years after the
Effective Date of this Master License, through the end of the Initial Term, the City
shall not offer rental rates in an amount less than the Rent under this Master
License, pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.2, to a licensee under the same
type of master license agreement for the installation of small cell
Telecommunication Facilities on City-owned Streetlights, unless, in any such case,
Licensee is provided with the same rental rates for installation of new
Telecommunication Facilities incorporated into this Master License by Amendment
from and after the date such rental rates are agreed to by City, as evidenced by a
fully executed agreement. The Parties expressly agree that this provision will not
apply to agreements that have a non-monetary component, such as, but not limited
to, the agreement between Los Angeles SMSA Limited Partnership (doing
business as Verizon Wireless) and the City, which has an effective date of
February 13, 2018, and is incorporated herein.
7.2.6 In exchange for City's agreement to the provisions outlined in
Section 7.2, Licensee, in furtherance of its intent to improve wireless
telecommunication signals in the City, hereby agrees to submit use and
construction permit applications for installation of new Telecommunication
New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, Page 6
Facilities on no fewer than twenty (20) Streetlights, pursuant to this Master
License, within ninety (90) calendar days of the Effective Date of this Master
License. Licensee further agrees to submit all documents and information
necessary to enter into an Amendment for no fewer than twenty (20) Streetlights
within ten (10) business days of obtaining said permits. Licensee shall execute and
return said Amendment to City, approved as to form by the City Attorney, within
ten (10) business days of receipt of the Amendment.
7.3 Time and Place of Payment. Commencing forty-five (45) calendar days
following the execution of an Amendment to this Master License, and on the first (1st) day
of each month during the Term, Licensee shall pay to City, Rent for each Streetlight. Rent
for any partial month shall be prorated in accordance with the actual number of days in
that month.
All payments of Rent shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America
and shall be paid to City in person or by United States mail, or overnight service, at the
Cashier's Office located at 100 Civic Center Drive, P.O. Box 1768, Newport Beach,
California, 92658, or to such other address as City may from time to time designate in
writing to Licensee. If requested by City, Licensee shall make payments electronically (at
www.newportbeachca.g ov) or by wire transfer(at Licensee's cost). Licensee assumes all
risk of loss and responsibility for late charges and delinquency rates if payments are not
timely received by City regardless of the method of transmittal.
7.4 Delinquent Payments. A ten percent (10%) penalty shall be added to the
Rent if not received by City within five (5) calendar days after the due date. In addition,
all unpaid Rent shall accrue interest on the amount due at the rate of ten percent (10%)
interest per annum from the date due and payable by the terms of this Master License
until paid in full. All late charges and interest payments hereunder, shall, as incurred,
become Rent due under this Master License.
7.5 Adjustment of Rent Upon Modification of Use. The City and Licensee intend
this Master License and any Amendment to cover only "small cell" installations, as those
terms are commonly understood to mean small, low-power, low-elevation, unobtrusive
wireless facilities intended to cover relatively small geographic areas. Licensee expressly
acknowledges and agrees that the permitted uses under this Master License does not
include the right to use any Streetlight for any other purpose. Rental rates, as set out in
Section 7.2, are based upon the scope of the project outlined. Changes to the
Telecommunication Facility, Telecommunication Facilities, Telecommunications
Services, the Streetlight, or License Area may increase the value of the Master License.
To the degree that a change in the Telecommunication Facility(ies) requires amendment
or modification to the permit beyond what is outlined in Section 1.7 and 3.1, City and
Licensee understand and mutually agree that a corresponding increase in the market rate
of the Telecommunications Facilities shall be commensurate with the additional License
Area being used to reflect an adjustment to the Rent. Such an adjustment may be defined
at the time at which Licensee seeks City's approval for modifications in the
Telecommunications Facility, and shall be mutually agreed to by the Parties as a condition
of the City's approval of such expanded service by the Licensee.
New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, Page 7
8. REPLACEMENT OF STREETLIGHTS
8.1 If the Telecommunication Facilities require replacement of a City-owned
Streetlight, Licensee shall be responsible for all costs to remove the existing Streetlight
and design, procure, and install a Replacement Streetlight. The Replacement Streetlight
shall be subject to the review and approval of City. Upon completion of the installation of
the Replacement Streetlight and acceptance by City Manager, or his/her designee, the
Replacement Streetlight shall become the City's property, in its then existing "as-is"
condition, with no payment owed to Licensee. Licensee shall execute any documents
required by City to cause the Replacement Streetlight to transfer ownership to City,
including transfer of manufacturer's warranty, or provide copy of manufacturer's warranty
to City and assist City in processing a claim against such manufacturer's warranty.
Alternatively, Licensee may self-warranty the Replacement Streetlight to the City, in a
scope and value equal to or greater than that provided by the manufacturer to the
Licensee.
8.2 Upon approval of the installation of a Replacement Streetlight, Licensee
shall have one hundred eighty (180) calendar days to install the Replacement Streetlight.
The existing Streetlight shall remain in operating condition until such time the
Replacement Streetlight is installed. Licensee shall have seventy-two (72) hours to
complete the installation of the Replacement Streetlight once the existing Streetlight is
removed.
8.3 In the event Licensee removes a Streetlight or Temporary Streetlight,
Licensee shall use its best efforts to remove the Streetlight or Temporary Streetlight in a
manner whereby the Streetlight or Temporary Streetlight can be reused. Licensee shall
contact the Municipal Operations Director or his/her designee at (949) 644-3011 at least
five (5) working days prior to removal for instructions on where to deliver the Streetlight
upon removal.
8.4 In the event a Streetlight has been removed and a Replacement Streetlight
for that Streetlight has not been accepted by City prior to removal of the License Area
from the Site List, Licensee shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated
with making such adjustments to the Replacement Streetlight so that it is consistent with
City standards. Such Streetlight shall be subject to the review and approval process set
forth in Section 8.1.
9. INTERFERENCE WITH CITY TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES
9.1 Licensee agrees that its operation of the Telecommunication Facilities shall
at all times comply with all FCC requirements and shall not cause any direct or indirect
interference with the operation of the Streetlights as streetlights or City's own wireless
communications facilities, including but not limited to public safety transmissions, police
and fire communications, water or sewer internal or external radio signals and
communications, as they now exist or may from time-to-time hereafter exist ("City's
Facilities").
9.2 In the event of any interference with City Police or Fire Department public
safety communications, Licensee shall work with the affected department(s) to correct
the interference within twenty-four (24) hours of City's written or telephone notice to
New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, Page 8
Licensee. In the event of interference with City's Streetlight or own wireless
communications system or external radio signals and communications other than Police
or Fire Department, Licensee shall work with City to correct the interference within
seventy-two (72) hours of City's written or telephone notice to Licensee. If it is determined
the interference is caused by the Telecommunication Facilities and if Licensee is unable
to correct interference to City's satisfaction, Licensee shall cease its operation of the
interfering Telecommunication Facilities immediately, until the cause of the interference
is corrected to City's satisfaction. If Licensee fails to correct any interference, City may,
in addition to and without compromising any other available remedy, cut off power to the
Telecommunication Facilities in the manner set forth in this License.
9.3 Should Licensee make any changes to the frequency or operating
conditions approved by any permit issued by the City, which interferes with City's
Facilities, then Licensee shall submit plans for the changes to City for its review and
approval. Licensee agrees to fund any studies required to ensure that any contemplated
changes to the frequency or operating conditions will be compatible with the City's
Facilities. No further changes to the interfering frequency or Telecommunications Facility
shall be made, pursuant to this Section 9.3, prior to the City's written approval.
10. EMERGENCY
10.1 Licensee understands that the Telecommunication Facilities are located on
a public structure or on public property and emergency situations may develop from time-
to-time that require power to the Telecommunication Facilities to be immediately shut off
and thereby interfere or temporarily terminate the Licensee's use of its
Telecommunication Facilities on the Streetlights and License Area. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Master License, Licensee agrees that if such a situation occurs,
and/or there are frequency interferences of any nature between City's Police or Fire
Department public safety communications equipment or City's facilities affecting
operation of sewer or water service and that of Licensee in a manner that threatens public
health or safety, City shall have the right to immediately shut off power to the
Telecommunication Facilities and any equipment of Licensee's located on the Streetlights
or License Area for the duration of the emergency. However, City agrees to use
reasonable efforts to provide notice to Licensee prior to shutting-off power to the
Telecommunications Facilities. Licensee agrees not to hold City responsible or liable for
and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold City harmless for any damage, loss, claim
or liability of any nature suffered as a result of the loss of the use of the
Telecommunication Facilities or other communication facilities by the shutoff of power, as
permitted hereunder.
10.2 Licensee agrees to install a clearly marked and accessible master power
"cut-off' switch on the Telecommunication Facilities for the purpose of assisting City in
such an emergency.
10.3 Unless otherwise specifically provided in a notice of termination of this
Master License, City's exercise of the right to shut off any power to the
Telecommunication Facilities pursuant to this Master License is not intended to constitute
a termination of this Master License by either Party and such event is a risk accepted by
the Licensee. Licensee and City shall meet after the City determines that an emergency
situation has ended to establish the time and manner in which power shall be restored.
New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, Page 9
10.4 City shall have the right to determine what constitutes an "emergency
situation" pursuant to this Section.
11. ACCEPTANCE OF CONDITION OF LICENSE AREA
Licensee accepts use of the Streetlights and License Area in an "as is" condition,
with no warranty, express or implied from the City as to any latent, patent, foreseeable
and unforeseeable condition of the Streetlights and License Area, including their
suitability for the use intended by Licensee. To the best of City's knowledge, the
Streetlights and the License Area have not been used for generation, storage, treatment
or disposal of Hazardous Substances as defined in this Master License. The Licensee
has conducted its own appropriate due diligence investigation of the Streetlights and
License Area prior to its execution of this Master License or any Amendment hereto, or
will do so prior to its installation of Telecommunications Facilities within the License
Area(s).
12. NO INTEREST IN PROPERTY
Nothing herein shall be deemed to create a lease, or easement of any property
right, or to grant any, possessory or other interest in the Streetlights, License Area, or any
Public Right-of-Way, other than a real property license to use and access the Streetlights
and License Area, revocable and for a term as set forth in this Master License.
13. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
Licensee understands, acknowledges and agrees that any and all authorizations
granted to Licensee under this Master License are non-exclusive and shall remain subject
to all prior and continuing regulatory and propriety rights and powers of City to regulate,
govern and use City property, as well as any existing encumbrances, deeds, covenants,
restrictions, easements, dedications and other claims of title that may affect City property.
14. UTILITIES
Licensee shall not do anything, nor shall it permit anything to be done that may
interfere with the effectiveness and accessibility of the Streetlights, or utility, heating, air
conditioning or ventilation systems located in the License Area, except as may be
specifically permitted by any permit issued by the City. The Telecommunication Facilities
shall be separately metered. In addition to the Rent, Licensee shall be responsible for the
cost of all utility services necessary for the operation of the Telecommunication Facilities,
and if required by City, shall have such utilities installed underground and/or connected if
already installed, and maintained at Licensee's sole cost and expense (along with all
ongoing use charges). Subject to City's approval, Licensee shall obtain an encroachment
permit from City's Public Works Department and submit plans for underground
construction of any required utility lines to City for its review and approval prior to
commencement of construction. Alternatively, Licensee may tap into City's power source
within each License Area. Licensee shall pay to City a monthly fee as outlined in the Rate
Sheet for Telecommunications Facilities, approved by the City Manager and available on
the City's website, for estimated utility costs based on Licensee's equipment and
consumption history, to pay for the use of the City's Utility services ("Utility Use Fee").
City, upon not less than thirty (30) days' notice to Licensee, may increase or decrease
the Utility Use Fee commensurate with costs incurred by City for Licensee's use of City
New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, Page 10
provided utilities. City's costs incurred for Licensee's use of City provided utilities shall be
determined in City's sole and absolute discretion, and Licensee agrees not to dispute the
accuracy of any fee charged hereunder, either during the Term of the Agreement or at
any time thereafter, on the basis that it exceeds the cost(s) actually incurred by City for
Licensee's use of City provided utilities.
15. INSPECTION
15.1 City shall be entitled, at any time, to inspect the Streetlights and
Telecommunication Facilities for compliance with the terms of this Master License, and
with all applicable federal, state and local (including those of the City) government
regulations, provided any changes to such regulations shall not apply retroactively unless
required by applicable laws
15.2 The Telecommunication Facilities shall be structurally and aesthetically
compatible with the NBMC and in accordance with this Master License. If
Telecommunication Facilities are not compliant with this foregoing requirement, Licensee,
at Licensee's sole cost and expense, shall remove any such non-compliant
Telecommunication Facilities or make Telecommunication Facilities compliant upon the
request of the City. Licensee shall remove non-compliant Telecommunication Facilities
or make Telecommunication Facilities compliant within the timeframes required by the
City in writing. In the event Licensee fails to complete the foregoing within the timeframes
required by the City, the City may terminate Licensee's use of the affected Streetlight in

to City a document in which the assignee accepts responsibility for all of Licensee's
post, current and future obligations under the Master License.

reimbursement or damage therefore. Except in the event of an emergency or other
situation requiring immediate relocation of the Telecommunication Facilities, City shall

24. TERMINATION
24.1 This Master License is not a lease; it is a license to use City-owned property.
As such, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that City, as the licensor, may revoke
this Master License at will and at any time during the Term, for any reason, with or without
cause, by giving thirty (30) calendar days' written notice to the Licensee. However, City
agrees that City will not exercise its right to revoke this Master License at will unless City

Master License when the basis of the revocation is an event of default as set forth in
Section 23 shall be in the City's sole and absolute discretion.

prior written notice to City. Notwithstanding the above, if the nature of City's material
breach under this Master License is such that more than thirty (30) calendar days are
reasonably required for its cure, then City shall not be deemed to be in material breach if
City commences such cure within such thirty (30) calendar day period and diligently
proceeds with such cure to completion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during a Renewal
Term and upon one hundred eighty (180) days' written notice to City, Licensee may

provided, however, if Licensee terminates this Master License or license to use a specific
New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, Page 16
License Area under this subsection for any reason other than City's uncured material
breach, Licensee shall pay to the City, concurrently with the delivery of its written
termination notice, a termination fee equal to twelve (12) months' Rent in effect as of the
date of such termination for the specific License Area(s) affected thereby.

the Term or any exercised Renewal Term, pursuant to the terms of Section 24.2 above,
Licensee shall pay to the City that pro-rated portion of Rent and/or fees specified in this
Master License that is unpaid prior to the effective date of termination. Licensee shall be
liable for and pay any Rent owed for the Streetlight until such time as the
Telecommunications Facilities have been removed from the License Area and the Master

obligations of this Master License.

Master License. A copy of said determination is available by calling the prevailing wage
hotline number (415) 703-4774, and requesting one from the Department of Industrial
Relations. If applicable, all parties to the Master License shall be governed by all
provisions of the California Labor Code — including, but not limited to, the requirement to
pay prevailing wage rates (Sections 1770-7981 inclusive). If applicable, a copy of the
prevailing wage rates shall be posted by the Licensee at the job site.
25.4 Without limitation of any other remedy available hereunder or at law or in
equity, if Licensee fails to repair or refinish any such damage, City may, at its sole
discretion, but not be required to, repair or refinish such damage and Licensee shall
New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, Page 17
reimburse City of all costs and expenses incurred in such repair or refinishing within thirty
(30) calendar days of receipt of invoice from City.
25.5 Prior to the installation of a Telecommunication Facility, Licensee shall
submit to the City and, throughout the Term plus ninety (90) calendar days thereafter,
maintain in effect, a Faithful Performance Bond, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit

secure faithful compliance with the conditions of this Master License. The Security shall
be in a form acceptable to the City's Real Property Administrator, and shall remain in
effect throughout the Term of this Master License plus ninety (90) calendar days
thereafter. The purpose of the Security is to provide payment to the City for any and all
expenditures incurred by the City under this Master License, including but not limited to
costs of repairs and cost of removal of the Telecommunication Facilities upon expiration
or termination of this Master License should Licensee fail to do so as required by this
Master License. The Security shall in no way limit the liability or obligations of Licensee
or its insurers under this Master License. If the funds represented by the Security become
exhausted, Licensee shall immediately provide the City with a new security in the amount
necessary to provide full-required Security.
25.6 Upon the installation of each Telecommunication Facility, Licensee shall
promptly furnish to City a current list and map that identifies the exact location of each of
the Telecommunication Facilities. This information shall be provided in a format that is
compatible with City's geographic information system.
26. FACILITY MAINTENANCE
At its sole cost and expense, Licensee shall take good care of the
Telecommunication Facilities and keep the Telecommunication Facilities neat, clean, in
good condition and free from graffiti, dirt and rubbish at all times. City may perform
maintenance in the event Licensee fails to commence required maintenance within the
time provided by City in the notice requesting such maintenance. The cost of any
maintenance by the City pursuant to this Section shall be payable as additional Rent.
27. MULTIPLE COMPANIES
The Parties recognize that this Master License contemplates installation and use
by multiple entities or companies, other than City, seeking to place Telecommunication
Facilities in or about the Streetlights or License Area. Licensee shall use its best efforts
to coordinate its activities with those other entities to reduce the costs of all such parties
and to avoid interference with each such party's realizations of benefits of this and similar
licenses, but in no way shall Licensee sublease or authorize use of the Streetlight or
License Area by another entity/carrier without the City's express written consent. If City
deems reasonably necessary, City shall coordinate any such cooperative efforts. City will
not enter into a subsequent Master License with another entity to place
New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, Page 18
Telecommunication Facilities on the Streetlight or in proximity to the Streetlight if Licensee
has shown to City's satisfaction, after compliance with this Section, that additional
Telecommunication Facilities are technically incompatible with the operation of the
Telecommunication Facilities under this Master License.
28. INDEMNIFICATION
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents, volunteers, and

Licensee to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from the sole
negligence orwillful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Nothing in this indemnity shall
be construed as authorizing any award of attorney's fees in any action on or to enforce
the terms of this Master License. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability
regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act
as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by the Licensee.
