p) LICENSOR requires the following design or concealment measures in a historic district or within
150 feet of a historic landmark:
(1.) The LICENSEE shall make every effort to collocate a small wireless facility on an existing
utility pole and in accordance with the following standards as set forth in this Section 4p),
unless the following standards have the effect of prohibiting any LICENSEE's technology.
In the event that the standards have the effect of prohibiting LICENSEE's technology,the
4
parties shall work in good faith to come up with alternative design and concealment
standards.
(a.) The collocation shall not increase the height of the utility pole by more than ten
(10) feet.
(b.) Each antenna shall be located entirely within a shroud enclosure of not more than
six(6)cubic feet in volume.
(c.) The diameter of the antenna or antenna enclosure should not exceed the diameter
of the top of the utility pole, and to the maximum extent practical, should appear
as a seamless vertical extension of the pole. In no case shall the maximum diameter
of the shroud be wider than one and one half times the diameter of the top of the
pole. Where maximum shroud diameter exceeds diameter of the top of the pole,
the shroud shall be tapered to meet the top of the pole.
(2.) The City's ornamental light fixtures and complimentary signal poles and signage poles,
shall not be used as wireless support structures as a collocation is found to be incompatible
with the design of such fixture or pole. The current design of the City's ornamental light
fixtures is generally depicted in the plan sheet prepared by King Luminaire Company Inc.,
dated January 26, 1996,a copy of which is on file with the City's Community Development
Department.
(3.) Where existing utility poles are not available for use,a new,free-standing wireless support
structure may be installed,designed to match the City's ornamental street light fixture. The
new wireless support structure shall have the small cell facilities enclosed in an equipment
cabinet integrated within the transformer base or within a pole mounted enclosure. The
free-standing wireless support structure shall not be more than 20 feet in height.
(4.) Equipment associated with a collocation should match the color of the structure to which
the equipment is attached or proximate thereto. New, free-standing wireless support
structures shall be the color required by the City for the installation of a new City
ornamental street fixture described above. In all instances,colors shall be selected to make
the small wireless facility as inconspicuous as possible.
Any such design or concealment measures, including restrictions on a specific category of poles,
may not have the effect of prohibiting any LICENSEE's technology. Such design and concealment
measures shall not be considered a part of the small wireless facility for purposes of the size
restrictions of a small wireless facility.This paragraph may not be construed to limit LICENSOR's
enforcement of historic preservation in conformance with the requirements adopted pursuant to the
Illinois State Agency Historic Resources Preservation Act or the National Historic Preservation
Act of 1966,54 U.S.C.Section 300101 et seq.and the regulations adopted to implement those laws.
5) APPLICATION PROCESS. LICENSOR shall process applications as follows:
a) An application to collocate a small wireless facility on an existing utility pole, replacement of an
existing utility pole or wireless support structure owned or controlled by LICENSOR shall be
processed by LICENSOR within 60 days from the date that LICENSEE submits a complete
application to the LICENSOR.
b) An application to collocate a small wireless facility that includes the installation of a new utility
pole shall be processed by a LICENSOR within 90 days from the date that the LICENSEE submits
a complete application to the LICENSOR.
5
c) LICENSOR shall approve an application unless the application does not meet the requirements of
this Agreement and Chapter 6.94 of the Elgin Municipal Code, 1976,as now or hereafter amended.
d) If LICENSOR determines that applicable codes, local code provisions or regulations that concern
public safety,or the Requirements of Chapter 6.94 of the Elgin Municipal Code, 1976,as amended,
require that the utility pole or wireless support structure be replaced before the requested
collocation,approval may be conditioned on the replacement of the utility pole or wireless support
structure at the cost of LICENSEE. LICENSOR must document the basis for a denial, including
the specific code provisions or application conditions on which the denial was based,and send the
documentation to LICENSEE on or before the day LICENSOR denies an application.LICENSEE
may cure the deficiencies identified by LICENSOR and resubmit the revised application once
within 30 days after notice of denial is sent to the applicant without paying an additional application
fee. LICENSOR shall approve or deny the revised application within 30 days after LICENSEE
resubmits the application or it is deemed approved.However,LICENSEE must notify LICENSOR
in writing of its intention to proceed with the permitted activity on a deemed approved basis,which
may be submitted with the resubmitted application. Any subsequent review shall be limited to the
deficiencies cited in the denial. However, this revised application cure does not apply if the cure
requires the review of a new location, new or different structure to be collocated upon, new
antennas, or other wireless equipment associated with the small wireless facility.
e) COMPLETENESS OF APPLICATION. Within 30 days after receiving an application, the
LICENSOR shall determine whether the application is complete and notify the applicant. If an
application is incomplete, the LICENSOR shall specifically identify the missing information. An
application shall be deemed complete if the LICENSOR fails to provide notification to the applicant
with 30 days after all documents,information and fees specifically enumerated in the LICENSOR's
permit application form are submitted by the application to the LICENSOR. Processing deadlines
are tolled from the time the LICENSOR sends the notice of incompleteness to the time the applicant
provides the missing information.
f) TOLLING. The time period for applications may be further tolled by the express agreement in
writing by both LICENSOR and LICENSEE; or a local, State or federal disaster declaration or
similar emergency that causes the delay.
g) CONSOLIDATED APPLICATIONS. A LICENSEE seeking to collocate small wireless facilities
within the jurisdiction of LICENSOR shall be allowed, at LICENSEE's discretion, to file a
consolidated application and receive a single permit for the collocation of up to 25 small wireless
facilities if the collocations each involve substantially the same type of small wireless facility and
substantially the same type of structure.If an application includes multiple small wireless facilities,
LICENSOR may remove small wireless facility collocations from the application and treat
separately small wireless facility collocations for which incomplete information has been provided
or that do not qualify for consolidated treatment or that are denied.LICENSOR may issue separate
permits for each collocation that is approved in a consolidated application.
6) COLLOCATION COMPLETION DEADLINE. Collocation for which a permit is granted shall be
completed within 180 days after issuance of the permit, unless LICENSOR and LICENSEE agree to
extend this period or a delay is caused by make-ready work for a LICENSOR utility pole or by the lack
of commercial power or backhaul availability at the site, provided LICENSEE has made a timely
request within 60 days after the issuance of the permit for commercial power or backhaul services, and
6
the additional time to complete installation does not exceed 360 days after issuance of the permit.
Otherwise,the permit shall be void unless LICENSOR grants an extension in writing to the LICENSEE.
7) DURATION OF PERMITS AND SUPPLEMENTS. The duration of a permit and the initial
Supplement shall be for a period of 5 years, and the permit and Supplement shall be renewed for
equivalent durations unless LICENSOR makes a finding that the small wireless facilities or the new or
modified utility pole do not comply with the applicable codes or local code provisions or regulations
in Chapter 6.94 of the Elgin Municipal Code, 1976,as now or hereafter amended. If P.A. 100-0585 is
repealed as provided in Section 90 of the Act,renewals of permits shall be subject to the LICENSOR's
code provisions or regulations in effect at the time of renewal.
8) EXTENSIONS. Each Supplement may be extended for additional five (5) year terms unless
LICENSEE terminates it at the end of the then current term by giving LICENSOR written notice of the
intent to terminate at least three (3) months prior to the end of the then current term. The initial term

Notwithstanding anything herein, after the expiration of this Agreement, its terms and conditions shall
survive and govern with respect to any remaining Supplements in effect until their expiration or
termination.
9) RENTAL.Each Supplement shall be effective as of the date of execution by both Parties(the"Effective
Date"), provided, however, the initial term of each Supplement shall be for five (5) years and shall
commence on the first day of the month following the day that LICENSEE commences installation of
the equipment on the Premises (the "Commencement Date") at which time rental payments shall
commence and be due at a total annual rental as set forth in the Supplement, to be paid in advance
annually on the Commencement Date and on each anniversary of it in advance, to the LICENSOR in
the Supplement (unless LESSOR otherwise designates another payee and provides notice to
LICENSEE). LICENSOR and LICENSEE acknowledge and agree that the initial rental payment for
each Supplement shall not actually be sent by LICENSEE until thirty (30) days after the
Commencement Date. LICENSOR and LICENSEE agree that they shall acknowledge in writing the
Commencement Date of each Supplement. Rental for the use of any poles pursuant to this Agreement,
shall be an annual fee of$270.00 per each wireless facility which LICENSEE attaches to LICENSOR's
pole. Thereafter, rent will be due at each annual anniversary of the "Commencement Date" of the
applicable Supplement. Upon agreement of the Parties, LICENSEE may pay rent by electronic funds
transfer and in such event, LICENSOR agrees to provide to LICENSEE bank routing information for
such purpose upon request of LICENSEE.
10) ABANDONMENT.A small wireless facility that is not operated for a continuous period of 12 months
shall be considered abandoned and the LICENSEE must remove the small wireless facility within 90
days after receipt of written notice from LICENSOR notifying LICENSEE of the abandonment.
The notice shall be sent by certified or registered mail,return receipt requested, by LICENSOR to the
LICENSEE at the last known address of LICENSEE.If the small wireless facility is not removed within
90 days of such notice,LICENSOR may remove or cause the removal of such facility and charge said
costs to the LICENSEE.
LICENSEE shall provide written notice to LICENSOR of any sale or transfer of small wireless facilities
not less than 30 days prior to such transfer and said notice shall include the name and contact
information of the new wireless provider.

11) CONDITION OF PREMISES.Where the Premises includes one or more Poles,LICENSOR covenants
that it will keep the Poles in good repair as required by all federal, state, county and local laws. If the
LICENSOR fails to make such repairs including maintenance within 60 days, of any notification to
LICENSOR,the LICENSEE shall have the right to cease annual rental for the effected poles,but only
if the poles are no longer capable of being used for the purpose originally contemplated in this
Agreement or otherwise do not comply with existing law. If LICENSEE terminates, LICENSEE shall
remove its small wireless facility. Termination of this Agreement shall be the LICENSEE's sole
remedy.
12) MAKE READY TERMS.LICENSOR shall not require more make-ready work than required to meet
applicable codes or industry standards. Make-ready work may include work needed to accommodate
additional public safety communications needs that are identified in a documented and approved plan
for the deployment of public safety equipment as specified and included in an existing or preliminary
LICENSOR or public service agency plan.Fees for make-ready work,including any LICENSOR utility
pole attachment, shall not exceed actual costs or the amount charged to communications service
providers for similar work and shall not include any consultants' fees or expenses for LICENSOR
utility poles that do not support aerial facilities used to provide communications services or electric
service. Make-ready work, including any pole replacement, shall be completed within 60 days of
written acceptance of the good-faith estimate by the LICENSOR at the LICENSEE's sole cost and
expense. Any make-ready work, including pole replacements, shall be performed by the LICENSEE
or its qualified contractor.
13) AERIAL FACILITIES. For LICENSOR utility poles that support aerial facilities used to provide
communications services or electric services,LICENSEE shall comply with the process for make-ready
work under 47 U.S.C. 224 and its implementing regulations. LICENSOR shall follow a substantially
similar process for such make-ready work except to the extent that the timing requirements are
otherwise addressed in Chapter 6.94 of the Elgin Municipal Code, 1976,as now or hereafter amended.
The good-faith estimate of the person owning or controlling LICENSOR's utility pole for any make-
ready work necessary to enable the pole to support the requested collocation shall include LICENSOR
utility pole replacement, if necessary. Make-ready work for utility poles that support aerial facilities
used to provide communications services or electric services may include reasonable consultants' fees
and expenses.
14) NO AERIAL FACILITIES. For LICENSOR utility poles that do not support aerial facilities used to
provide communications services or electric services, LICENSOR shall provide a good-faith estimate
for any make-ready work necessary to enable the LICENSOR utility pole to support the requested
collocation, include pole replacement, if necessary, within 90 days after receipt of a complete
application.Make-ready work, including any LICENSOR utility pole replacement, shall be completed
within 60 days of written acceptance of the good-faith estimate by LICENSEE at LICENSEE's sole
cost and expense. Alternatively, if LICENSOR determines that applicable codes or public safety
regulations require the LICENSOR's utility pole to be replaced to support the requested collocation,
LICENSOR may require LICENSEE to replace LICENSOR's utility pole at LICENSEE's sole cost
and expense.
15) GENERAL RESTRICTIONS. In the event LICENSOR,in its reasonable discretion deems it necessary
to remove, relocate or replace a Pole, LICENSOR shall notify LICENSEE at least one hundred eighty
(180)days prior of the need to remove or relocate its small wireless facility.In such event,LICENSOR
shall provide options for alternative locations for LICENSEE relocation of equipment which shall be
in a mutually agreeable location ("Alternative Premises"). LICENSEE shall be solely responsible for
8
all costs related to the relocation of its small wireless facility to the Alternative Premises. In the event
that a suitable Alternative Premises cannot be identified, LICENSEE may terminate the applicable
Supplement. In the event of an emergency, which for purposes of this Agreement shall be considered
any imminent threat to health, safety and welfare of the public, LICENSOR must provide as much
notice as reasonably practical under the circumstances. LICENSEE may terminate this Agreement by
giving written notice to the other party specifying the date of termination, such notice to be given not
less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date specified therein.
16) ELECTRICAL. LICENSEE shall be permitted to connect its equipment to necessary electrical and
telephone service, at LICENSEE's expense. LICENSEE shall attempt to coordinate with utility
companies to provide separate service to LICENSEE's equipment for LICENSEE use. In the event
that LICENSEE can obtain separate electrical service with a separate meter measuring usage, the
LICENSEE shall pay the utility directly for its power consumption, if billed directly by the utility. In
the event that separate electrical service is not possible or practical under the circumstances,
LICENSEE may use existing service, at LICENSEE's expense, upon the reasonable approval of
LICENSOR. In the event that LICENSEE uses existing utility service at an individual Premises,the
Parties agree to either: (i) attempt to have a sub-meter installed, at LICENSEE's expense, which shall
monitor LICENSEE's utility usage (with a reading and subsequent bill for usage delivered to
LICENSEE by either the applicable utility company or LICENSOR); or(ii) provide for an additional
fee in the applicable Supplement which shall cover LICENSEE's utility usage. The Parties agree to
reflect power usage and measurement issues in each applicable Supplement.
17) TEMPORARY POWER. LICENSEE shall be permitted at any time during the Term of each
Supplement, to install, maintain and/or provide access to and use of, as necessary (during any power
interruption at the Premises), a temporary power source, and all related equipment and appurtenances
within the Premises, or elsewhere on the Property in such locations as reasonably approved by
LICENSOR. LICENSEE shall be permitted to connect the temporary power source to its equipment
on the Premises in areas and manner approved by LICENSOR.
18) USE; GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. LICENSEE shall use the Premises for the purpose of
constructing, maintaining, repairing and operating small wireless facilities and uses incidental thereto.
LICENSEE shall have the right to replace, repair and modify equipment, antennas and/or conduits or
any portion thereof and the frequencies over which the equipment operates, in conformance with the
original Supplement. It is understood and agreed that LICENSEE's ability to use the Premises is
contingent upon its obtaining after the execution date of each Supplement all of the certificates,permits
and other approvals(collectively the "Governmental Approvals")that may be required by any Federal,
State or Local authorities as well as a satisfactory building structural analysis which will permit
LICENSEE use of the Premises as set forth above. In the event that (i) any of such applications for
such Governmental Approvals should be finally rejected; (ii) any Governmental Approval issued to
LICENSEE is canceled, expires, lapses, or is otherwise withdrawn or terminated by governmental
authority; and (iii)LICENSEE determines that such Governmental Approvals may not be obtained in
a timely manner, LICENSEE shall have the right to terminate the applicable Supplement. Notice of
LICENSEE's exercise of its right to terminate shall be given to LICENSOR in accordance with the
notice provisions set forth in Paragraph 23 and shall be effective upon the mailing of such notice by
LICENSEE, or upon such later date as designated by LICENSEE. All rentals paid to said termination
date shall be retained by LICENSOR. 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 LICENSEE shall have no further obligations for
the payment of rent to LICENSOR for the terminated Supplement. Notwithstanding anything to the
9
contrary in this Paragraph, LICENSEE shall continue to be liable for all rental payments to the
LICENSOR until all equipment is removed from the Property.
