2. Site License Granted and Terms.
2.1. Scope. ACHD, acting in its proprietary capacity as the statutory owner of
Transportation Facilities in the ROW, does grant (subject to Section 3 below) to Licensee
a nonexclusive, revocable license to use Transportation Facilities owned by it to attach,
install, operate, maintain, upgrade, remove, reattach, reinstall, relocate and replace the
Equipment that may be required or desired to operate a Small Cell (the "Site License").
This grant is subject to the terms, conditions and other provisions set forth in this
Agreement, to applicable provisions of the Code, applicable required Permits and all
applicable Laws and reasonable regulations of any regulatory agency having competent
jurisdiction. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, preclude or impede the
ability of ACHD to enter into other similar agreements in the future allowing third parties
to also use the ROW, or the ability of ACHD to redesign, reconstruct, relocate, maintain
and improve its ROWs and Highways (defined in Section 2.3(c) below) as it determines,
in its sole discretion, is appropriate in accordance with applicable law. The Parties
contemplate that upon further development by Licensee, any additional Site Licenses
requested by Licensee shall be incorporated into this Agreement by means of an
addendum signed by each of the parties, but such additional Site Licenses shall only
become effective upon the written approval of ACHD or its designees authorized to
execute Site Licenses by the ACHD Board of Commissioners.
2.2. Use of ACHD Property. The Site License, if and when approved by ACHD,
allows Licensee to access, occupy and use allocated available space on each of the poles
and traffic signal devices identified as Transportation Facilities in Exhibit 1 to the Site License
to attach, install, operate, maintain, upgrade, remove, reattach, reinstall, relocate and
replace the Equipment, as identified in such Exhibit 1, solely for the purpose of Licensee
operating a Small Cell. The Site License also allows the installation, operation and
maintenance of ground based, pad mounted equipment cabinets and/or power pedestals

any material way from the then -existing and approved Equipment, then Licensee shall
notify an authorized representative of ACHD of the proposed changes and obtain ACHD's
written approval to make such change. In addition to any other submittal requirements,
and if requested by ACHD, Licensee shall provide "load" (structural) calculations for all
Transportation Facilities upon which it intends to modify Equipment in the ROW.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may modify its Equipment with like -kind or
similar Equipment without prior written approval of ACHD, so long as it (i) does not differ
in any material way from the then -existing and approved Equipment, and (ii) does not
jeopardize the structural integrity of ACHD's Transportation Facilities or interfere with
ACHD's operations; and (iii) does not interfere with the public's access or use of the ROW.

6. Basic Design and Installation Requirements for Using Transportation
Facilities. The basic design of the Equipment will be described in Exhibit 1 to each Site
License. All of Licensee's construction and installation work for its Equipment on the
Transportation Facilities shall be performed at Licensee's sole cost and expense and in a
good and workmanlike manner. Payment of the Annual Fee under each Site License shall
be made within forty-five (45) days of the initial Commencement Date of each Site License.
When Licensee and ACHD have agreed on an existing Transportation Facility location as
a suitable site for Licensee's Equipment, but the existing ACHD-owned pole needs to be
replaced to accommodate the Equipment, then Licensee shall pay all costs related to
replacing the ACHD-owned pole, including but not limited to installation of the
replacement pole (the "Replacement Pole"), transfer of the streetlight fixtures, traffic
signal and/or other items attached to the existing ACHD-owned pole to the Replacement
Pole, and removal and salvage of the existing ACHD-owned pole to ACHD. Payment of
the pole replacement costs does not provide Licensee with any ownership interest in the
Replacement Pole. ACHD will be deemed to own the original ACHD-owned pole and the
Replacement Pole. The installation or attachment of the Equipment using the
Replacement Pole shall be at Licensee's sole cost and expense.
7. Common Conditions or Requirements Applicable to Site Licenses Issued Under
this Agreement.
7.1. Submission of Plans and Specifications. For each installation, Licensee or
its designee shall submit plans and specifications for ACHD review and approval which
will be processed in a timely and reasonable fashion in accordance with ACHD's normal
practices.

APPROVED .2. Siting Priority Preference. Locations should be prioritized based upon
06/02/22 's technical and radio frequency needs and construction costs. The shared use
"E isting facility or structure is preferred to the construction of a new freestanding
:1_E111UM reless facility. ACHD's preference for deployment of Small Wireless Facilities is
the following order of priority, except as set forth below or as agreed between ACHD and
the Licensee:
(1) Attachment to or replacement of Transportation Facilities controlled by
ACHD;
(2) Attachment to non-ACHD assets (where attachment is not technically
feasible, replacement of the non-ACHD asset);
(3) Installation on new stand-alone pole.
In addition, in any situation where Licensee has a choice of attaching its Equipment to
either Transportation Facilities or third -party -owned property in the ROW, Licensee shall
use good faith efforts to attach to the Transportation Facilities, provided that (a) such
Transportation Facilities are at least equally suitable functionally for the operation of
Licensee's network and (b) the construction and installation costs associated with such
attachment over the length of the term are equal to or less than the cost to Licensee of
attaching to the alternative third -party -owned property. In the event that no suitable
Transportation Facilities or third -party -owned poles are functionally suitable, Licensee
may, at its sole cost and expense, install its own poles. Design, location and height of
proposed Licensee poles shall be reviewed and subject to administrative approval by
ACHD prior to installation. Licensee's Equipment and poles must conform as closely as
practicable with the design and color of poles existing in the vicinity of Licensee's
Equipment or pole location. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
the applicable Supplement, Licensee will be responsible for all maintenance, repair and
liability for all poles installed by Licensee in the ROW. Upon ACHD approval, the approved
plans are inserted in the Exhibit 1 attached to a Site License. If Licensee desires to
change or add new locations, Licensee will submit a proposed Site License indicating the
additional Transportation Facilities that it wishes to use.
7.3. Aesthetics. Equipment placement in the ROW and/or on Transportation
Facilities will.-
(1) On a Transportation Facility or existing third -party owned pole,
minimize impact to the aesthetics of the Transportation Facility or
existing third -party pole; or
(2) On a new pole, match the aesthetics (including height) of any adjacent
Traffic Facilities and third -party poles, where feasible.
7.4. Residential Neighborhoods, Buildings of Special Interest, Other Limitations.

(1) Siting of Small Wireless Facilities within Residential Zoned
Neighborhoods.
(a) Small Wireless Facilities shall not be sited within residential zoned
neighborhoods unless the governing board of the municipality or
county having land use jurisdiction has first consented in writing to
such siting. When placed near residential property, the Small
Wireless Facilities shall be placed adjacent to a common property
line between adjoining residential properties, such that the Small
Wireless Facilities minimizes visual impacts equitably among
adjacent properties (Figure 1). In the case of a corner lot, the Small
Wireless Facility may be placed adjacent to a common property line
between adjoining residential properties, or on the corner formed by
two intersecting streets (Figure 1). If these requirements are not
reasonably feasible from a construction, engineering or design
perspective, Licensee may submit a written statement to ACHD
requesting the Small Wireless Facility be exempt from these
requirements.
(b) Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the governing board of
the municipality or county having land use jurisdiction, Small
Wireless Facilities shall not be located within 20 feet of the closest
exterior wall of the habitable portion (excluding porches, garages,
and similar structures not typically considered to be the habitable
portion of a home) of a residential building in a residential zoning
district unless Licensee demonstrates that compliance with this
requirement would be technically infeasible.
(c) In addition, in areas zoned as residential by the municipality or
county having land use jurisdiction, and unless otherwise consented
to in writing by the governing board of the municipality or county
having land use jurisdiction, no two small wireless facilities owned by
Licensee shall be located within 600 feet of one another. ACHD may
exempt Licensee from this requirement if: (i) Licensee demonstrates
through technical network documentation that the minimum
separation requirement cannot be satisfied for technical reasons
(e.g. the minimum separation requirement will not result in effective
coverage of the area), or (ii) ACHD determines, when considering
the surrounding topography; the nature of adjacent uses and nearby
properties; and the height of existing structures in the vicinity, that
placement of a small cell wireless facility at a distance less than 600
feet from another small wireless facility owned by Licensee in the
public right of way will meet the intent of reducing visibility and visual
clutter of Small Wireless Facilities.
