the Premises, including the grant to Lessee or to the servicing utility company at no cost to the

or other utilities will be at a location acceptable to Lessor and the servicing utility company.
(c) Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents, and subcontractors shall have access to the roof
of the Building and to the Premises, without notice to Lessor twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven

material breach by Lessee. In the event any of Lessee's Facilities causes interference to Lessor
and other lessees or licensees of the Property whose installations predate that of Lessee
1Aca\djnM&reements%Red1ands Community Investment-Lease.doc 2
Facilities, Lessee agrees to take all action necessary to promptly eliminate such interference, in a
commercially reasonable time period. In the alternative, rather- than taking action to eliminate
such interference, Lessee, in its sole discretion, may promptly cease operation of the Lessee
Facilities and terminate this Lease upon five(5) days' prior written notice to Lessor.
(b) Subsequent to the installation of the Lessee Facilities, Lessor shall not permit itself,
its lessees or licensees to install new equipment on the Property or property contiguous thereto
owned or controlled by Lessor, if such. equipment is likely to cause interference with Lessee's
operations. Such interference shall be deemed a material breach by Lessor. In the event
interference occurs, Lessor agrees to take all action necessary to promptly eliminate such
interference, in a commercially reasonable time period. In the event Lessor fails to comply with
this paragraph, Lessee may terminate this Agreement and/or pursue any other remedies available
under this Agreement, at law, and/or at equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pre-existing
communications equipment of other lessees or licensees operating in the same manner as of the
Effective Date hereof shall not be deemed interference.
(c) The Parties acknowledge that there will not be an adequate remedy at law for
noncompliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 7, and, therefore, either Party shall have the
right to equitable remedies, such as, without limitation, injunctive relief and specific
performance.

directly attributable to the Lessee Facilities. Except as provided immediately below, Lessor shall

provide to Lessee the documentation from the taxing authority indicating the increase is directly
due to Lessee's improvements.
9. Waiver of Lessor's Lien. Lessor waives any lien rights it may have concerning the Lessee
Facilities, which are deemed Lessee's personal property and not fixtures, and Lessee has the right
to remove the same at any time without Lessor's consent.
10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated without further liability on thirty (30) days'
prior written notice as follows: (i) by either Party upon a default of any covenant or term hereof
by the other Party, which default is not cured within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice
