Notice shall be effective upon actual receipt or refusal as shown on the receipt
obtained pursuant to the foregoing.
17. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall extend to and bind the heirs, personal
representative successors and assigns of the Parties hereto.
18. DEFAULT.
(a) In the event there is a breach by SMITH COMMUNICATIONS with respect
to any of the provisions of this Agreement or its obligations under it, including the
payment of rent, FAYETTEVILLE shall give SMITH COMMUNICATIONS written
notice of such breach. After receipt of such written notice, SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall have fifteen (15) days in which to cure any monetary breach
and thirty (30) days in which to cure any non -monetary breach, provided SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall have such extended period as may be required beyond the
thirty (30) days if the nature of the cure is such that it reasonably requires more than thirty
(30) days and SMITH COMMUNICATIONS commences the cure within the thirty (30)
day period and thereafter continuously and diligently pursues the cure to completion.
FAYETTEVILLE may not maintain any action or effect any remedies for default against
SMITH COMMUNICATIONS unless and until SMITH COMMUNICATIONS has
failed to cure the breach within the time penods provided in this Paragraph. However,
repetitive breaches relating to blocking or interfering with the access easement or the
rights of other tenants to successfully operate their equipment without electronic or other
interference shall give FAYETTEVILLE the right to terminate this contract even if such
breaches are temporary and cured within thirty days.
(b) In the event there is a breach by FAYETTEVILLE with respect to any of the
provisions of this Agreement or its obligations under it, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS
shall give FAYETTEVILLE written notice of such breach. After receipt of such written
notice, FAYETTEVILLE shall have thirty (30) days in which to cure any such breach,
provided FAYETTEVILLE shall have such extended period as may be required beyond
the thirty (30) days if the nature of the cure is such that it reasonably requires more than
thirty (30) days and FAYETTEVILLE commences the cure within the thirty (30) day
period and thereafter continuously and diligently pursues the cure to completion. SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS may not maintain any action or effect any remedies for default
6
against FAYETTEVILLE unless and until FAYETTEVILLE 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 if FAYETTEVILLE fails, within five
(5) days after receipt of written notice of such breach, to perform an obligation required to
be performed by FAYETTEVILLE if the failure to perform such an obligation interferes
with SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's ability to conduct its business on the Property;
provided, however, that if the nature of FAYETTEVILLE's obligation is such that more
than five (5) days after such notice is reasonably required for its performance, then it shall
not be a default under this Agreement if performance is commenced within such five (5)
day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
19. REMEDIES. Upon a default, the non -defaulting party may at its option (but
without obligation to do so), perform the defaulting party's duty or obligation on the
defaulting party's behalf. The costs and expenses of any such performance by the non -
defaulting party shall be due and payable by the defaulting party upon invoice therefor. In
the event of a default by either party with respect to a material provision of this
Agreement, without limiting the non -defaulting party in the exercise of any right or
remedy which the non -defaulting may have by reason of such default, the non -defaulting
party may terminate the Agreement and/or pursue any remedy now or hereafter available
to the non -defaulting party under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the
Premises are located; provided, however, FAYETTEVILLE and SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages in connection
with a default by FAYETTEVILLE or SMITH COMMUNICATIONS. If SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS so performs any of FAYETTEVILLE's obligations hereunder, the
full amount of the reasonable and actual cost and expense incurred by SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall immediately be owing by FAYETTEVILLE to SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS, and FAYETTEVILLE shall pay to SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS upon demand the full undisputed amount thereof with Interest
thereon from the date of payment at the highest rate permitted by applicable Laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if FAYETTEVILLE does not pay SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS the full undisputed amount within thirty (30) days of its receipt of
an invoice setting forth the amount due from SMITH COMMUNICATIONS, SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS may offset the full undisputed amount, including all accrued
interest, due against all fees due and owing to FAYETTEVILLE until the full undisputed
amount, including all accrued interest, is fully reimbursed to SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS.
20. CASUALTY. In the event of damage by fire or other casualty to the
Premises that cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired within forty-five (45) days
following the event, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS may terminate this by sending
written notice to FAYETTEVILLE. Any such notice of termination shall cause this
Agreement 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 this Agreement and the Parties
shall make an appropriate adjustment, as of such termination date, with respect to
7
payments due to the other under this Agreement. 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 SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's use of the Premises is impaired.
21. CONDEMNATION. In the event of any condemnation of all or any portion
of the Property, this Agreement shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the
condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first. If as a result of a
partial condemnation of the Premises or Property, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS, in
SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's sole discretion, is unable to use the Premises for the
purposes intended hereunder, or if such condemnation may reasonably be expected to
disrupt SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's operations at the Premises for more than forty-
five (45) days, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS may, at SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's
option, to be exercised in writing within fifteen (15) days after FAYETTEVILLE shall
have given SMITH COMMUNICATIONS written notice of such taking (or in the
absence of such notice, within fifteen (15) days after the condemning authority shall have
taken possession) terminate this Agreement as of the date the condemning authority takes
such possession. SMITH COMMUNICATIONS may on its own behalf make a claim in
any condemnation proceeding involving the Premises for losses related to the equipment,
conduits, fixtures, its relocation costs and its damages and losses. Any such notice of
termination shall cause this Agreement 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 this
Agreement and the Parties shall make an appropriate adjustment as of such termination
date with respect to payments due to the other under this Agreement,. SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with the
foregoing, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the
Premises remaining, except that the rent shall be reduced in the same proportion as the
rentable area of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. In the
event that this Agreement is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by such
condemning authority.
22. SUBMISSION OF AGREEMENT/PARTIAL INVALIDITY/AUTHORITY.
The submission of this Agreement for examination does not constitute an offer to lease
the Premises and this Agreement becomes effective only upon the full execution of this
Agreement by the Parties. If any provision herein is invalid, it shall be considered deleted
from this Agreement and shall not invalidate the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Each of the Parties hereto warrants to the other that the person or persons executing this
Agreement on behalf of such Party has the full right, power and authority to enter into and

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor Dan Coody and City Council
Thru: Gary Dumas, Operations Director
From: Connie Edmonston, Parks and Recreation Director
Date: April 12, 2007
Subject: Resolution to authorize the Mayor to process a Conditional Use
application for a cell tower in Walker Park
BACKGROUND
Smith Communications has submitted a request to place a 150 foot cell tower within the
confines of Walker Park. This tower would be configured as a Monopme camo-mount to
blend into the forest canopy and imitate the appearance of a pine tree. This request would
be similar to the cell tower lease and contract that was approved at the new Fire Station in
Routh Park.
Representatives of Smith Communications toured the Walker Park area with Park Staff
and found the best location would be adjacent to the parking lot located north of 13th
Street and Block. The tower would require a 30 foot road and utility easement from the
northeast comer of the parking lot leading to a 3,600 square foot area in which the tower
would be located. The area would be screened with a wood fence and landscaping.
Many areas within Walker Park were not considered because they were not accessible to
tower service vehicles, in too close proximity to active recreation areas, or were within
the floodway.
There are two areas of Walker Park that are included in an Arkansas Parks and Tourism
Outdoor Recreation Grant provision that secures in perpetuity the use of these areas for
outdoor recreational use only. Several grant projects were awarded in these areas to build
the skate park in the northwest section and the playground, restroom and racquetball
court on the southern portion. The location of a cell tower would be prohibited in these
areas These areas are noted as A and B on the attached map. The western two thirds of
the Block Street parking lot is not owned by the City.
The request for a 30 year lease with Smith Communications for a cell tower in Walker
Park was presented to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) on March 5,
2007. PRAB toured the site with David Reynolds from Smith Communications and
unanimously voted to table the vote to a Special Board meeting on March 15, 2007.
On March 15th PRAB voted (5-3) against the proposed placement of the cell tower in
Walker Park. Discussion included statements related to the incompatibility of a cell
tower with the relative natural forested setting of Walker Park. Other members were
concemed about potentially establishing a precedent for placing towers in parks and the
long length of the lease that could conflict with the future use of the park. There was
some discussion about distorting or obscunng the view from the downtown area to
Walker Park. PRAB members voting for the cell tower stated that if the tower was going
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2007
Agenda Item Number
to be placed in that area and be visible from the park, they would like the Parks to receive
the revenue instead of another entity (See attached PRAB March 5 and 15, 2007
minutes.)
DISCUSSION
Unified Development Code Title XV, section 163.14 Wireless Communications Facilities
(F), states the City "...should actively market its own property and existing structures as
suitable co -location sites." Even though the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board voted
against the tower to be located in Walker Park, Smith Communications is asking the City
Council if a portion of Walker Park could be leased for the tower. (See attached letter.)
This submission is not a request for the approval of the cell tower, but a to allow a
petition to the Planning Comission to determine land use campatibility in Walker Park for
the tower. If approved by the City Council, a lease agreement will be forwarded for
consideration In order for Smith Communication to complete the Planning Commission
Conditional Use Application, they must have the approval of the City to lease the land In
this instance in which PRAB recommended denial of the use of Walker Park for the cell
tower placement, it is essential to determine the intent of City Council before Smith
Communications proceeds with the Conditional Use Application. Smith
Communications must know if the City would lease the land before they continue to the
Planning Commission for final determination.
BUDGET IMPACT
The contract between the City and Smith Communications would be very similar to the
contract for the Fire Station at Routh Park. This would be a 30 year lease allowing up to
five Garners on the tower. The City could receive monthly revenues of $3,500 to $4,500
depending on the number of carriers and the contract negotiated by our City Attorney.
Smith Communications has also agreed to donate $20,000 to the Walker Park Mural
project to help with it's completion to include three kiosk signs, audio recordings related
to the depictions on the mural and a sidewalk around the perimeter for ADA accessibility.

DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE

TO: Dan Coody, Mayor
City Council
Connie Edmonston, Parks & Recreation Division Head
FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney
DATE: April 18, 2007
RE• Monopole cell tower proposed for Walker Park
I have drafted a very similar potential contract to lease land in Walker
Park to a cell tower company as was done next to the Fire Station at Hwy.
265 and Old Wire Road. This cell tower would generate:
(a) $20,000.00 contribution to the Walker Park Mural Project;
(b) Free City use of the tower for at least two needed antennas;
(c) $12,000.00 to $54,000.00 annual rent (depending on how
many cell phone tenants locate on the tower). The rent is
linked to the CPI and will increase with inflation.
The City Council's policy outlined in its cell tower ordinance is to
locate cell towers on city land where feasible. However, if the City Council
does not wish to locate this in a partially obscured location off a parking lot
in Walker Park, the cell tower company will likely locate it right across 15`h
Street which will be plainly visible from Walker Park, but not physically
inside our park's borders.
LAND LEASE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, made this day of May, 2007, between the CITY OF

designated FAYETTEVILLE, and CALLAHAN TOWER JOINT VENTURE, with its
principal office located at Callahan Tower. 520 N. College Avenue, Fayetteville, AR 72701,
hereinafter designated as CALLAHAN. FAYETTEVILLE and CALLAHAN are at times
collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Parties".
I. PREMISES. FAYETTEVILLE hereby leases to CALLAHAN a portion of that
certain parcel of property referred to hereinafter as the Walker Park site, located in Washington
County, Arkansas, and described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto (the "Land Space"), together
with the non-exclusive but constant (24 hours per day, 7 days a week) access and utility
easement over, under, or along the existing driveway, said Land Space and easement
(hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Premises") being substantially as described herein in
Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof. CALLAHAN agrees not to block the
driveway at any time and to coordinate and cooperate with the CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE and
its Parks Department in their use and access to their facilities.
2. SURVEY. FAYETTEVILLE also hereby grants to CALLAHAN the right to
survey the Walker Park site and the Premises, and said survey after review and acceptance by
FAYETTEVILLE shall then become Exhibit "B" which shall be attached hereto and made a
part hereof, and shall control in the event of boundary and access discrepancies between it and
Exhibit "A". Cost for such work shall be borne by CALLAHAN.
3. TERM. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date of execution by both
parties, and the initial term of five (5) years shall commence on the first day of the month
following the Planning Commission's approval of the conditional use permit for a cell tower at
this site, at which time rental payments shall commence and be due at a total monthly rental of
One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) to be paid on the first day of the month, in advance, to
FAYETTEVILLE.
4. EXTENSIONS. This Agreement shall automatically be extended for four (4)
additional five (5) year terms unless CALLAHAN terminates it at the end of the then current
term by giving FAYETTEVILLE written notice of its intent to terminate at least six (6) months
prior to the end of the then current term.
5. EXTENSION RENTALS. The monthly rental for the first five year extension
term shall be increased by an amount equal to the total CPI increase during the five year period
of the lease; the monthly rental for the second five year extension term shall be further
increased by an amount equal to the total CP1 increase during the second five year period of the
lease; the monthly rental for the third five year extension term shall be further increased by an
amount equal to the total CPI increase during the third five year period of the lease; and the
monthly rental for the fourth five year extension term shall be further increased by an amount

6. USE: GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. CALLAHAN shall use the Premises
for the purpose of constructing, maintaining, repairing and operating a communications facility
and uses incidental thereto. A security fence consisting of chain link construction or similar but
comparable construction may be placed around the perimeter of the Premises at the discretion
of CALLAHAN (not including the access easement). All improvements, equipment and
conduits shall be at CALLAHAN's expense and the installation of all improvements shall be at
the discretion and option of CALLAHAN. CALLAHAN shall have the right to replace, repair,
add or otherwise modify its equipment and/or conduits or any portion thereof and the
frequencies over which the equipment operates, whether the equipment, conduits or frequencies
are specified or not on any exhibit attached hereto, during the Term. It is understood and agreed
that CALLAHAN's ability to use the Premises is contingent upon its obtaining after the
execution date of this Agreement 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 satisfactory soil boring tests which will permit CALLAHAN use of
the Premises as set forth above. FAYETTEVILLE shall take no action which would adversely
affect the status of the Property with respect to the proposed use thereof by CALLAHAN. In
the event that any of such applications for such Governmental Approvals should be finally
rejected; any Governmental Approval issued to CALLAHAN is canceled, expires, lapses, or
is otherwise withdrawn or terminated by governmental authority CALLAHAN shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement. Notice of CALLAHAN's exercise of its right to terminate
shall be given to FAYETTEVILLE in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, and
shall be effective upon the mailing of such notice by CALLAHAN, or upon such later date as
designated by CALLAHAN. All rentals paid to said termination date shall be retained by
FAYETTEVILLE. Upon such termination, this Agreement 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 hereunder. Otherwise, CALLAHAN shall have no further obligations for the payment
of rent to FAYETTEVILLE. If this site becomes technologically unsuitable for CALLAHAN's
purposes, CALLAHAN may terminate this lease upon ninety days notice.
7. INSURANCE. CALLAHAN agrees that at its own cost and expense, it will
maintain commercial general liability insurance with limits not less than $1,000,000 for
injury to or death of one or more persons in any one occurrence and $500,000 for damage or
destruction to property in any one occurrence.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In no event will either FAYETTEVILLE or
CALLAHAN 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 loss or
interruption of use of service, under any theory of tort, strict liability or negligence.
9. INTERFERENCE. CALLAHAN agrees to install equipment of the type and
frequency which will not cause material interference which is measurable in accordance with
then existing industry standards to any equipment of FAYETTEVILLE or its lessees of the
Property. In the event any after -installed CALLAHAN's equipment causes such
interference, and after FAYETTEVILLE has notified CALLAHAN in writing of such
interference, CALLAHAN will take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to correct
2
and eliminate the interference, including but not limited to, at CALLAHAN's option,
powering down such equipment and later powering up such equipment for intermittent
testing. In no event will FAYETTEVILLE be entitled to terminate this Agreement or
relocate the equipment as long as CALLAHAN is making a good faith effort to remedy the
interference issue. CALLAHAN agrees to indemnify and hold Fayetteville harmless from
any claim by other tenants that CALLAHAN's equipment has damaged or interfered with
their equipment or service to their customers. FAYETTEVILLE agrees that it or other
tenants 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 material interference which is measurable in accordance with then existing
industry standards to the then existing equipment of CALLAHAN.
10. REMOVAL AT END OF TERM. CALLAHAN shall, upon expiration of the
Term, or within ninety (90) days after any earlier termination of the Agreement, remove its
building(s), antenna structure(s) (except footings), equipment, conduits, fixtures and all
personal property and restore the Premises to its original condition, reasonable wear and tear
and casualty damage excepted. FAYETTEVILLE agrees and acknowledges that all of the
equipment, conduits, fixtures and personal property of CALLAHAN shall remain the
personal property of CALLAHAN and CALLAHAN 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 such time for removal causes
CALLAHAN to remain on the Premises after termination of this Agreement, CALLAHAN
shall pay rent at the then existing monthly rate or on the existing monthly pro -rata basis if
based upon a longer payment term, until such time as the removal of the building, antenna
structure, fixtures and all personal property are completed.
11. OUIET ENJOYMENT. FAYETTEVILLE covenants that CALLAHAN, on
paying the rent and performing the covenants herein, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold
and enjoy the Premises. FAYETTEVILLE agrees that this lease shall survive and remain in
force if FAYETTEVILLE sells or transfers any part of the Land Space.
12. TITLE. FAYETTEVILLE represents and warrants to CALLAHAN as of the
execution date of this Agreement, and covenants during the Term that FAYETTEVILLE is
seized of good and sufficient title and interest to the Property and has full authority to enter
into and execute this Agreement and that there are no covenants, easement or restrictions
which prevent or adversely affect the use of occupancy of the Premises by CALLAHAN as
set forth above.
13. INTEGRATION. It is agreed and understood that this Agreement contains all
agreements, promises and understandings between FAYETTEVILLE and CALLAHAN and
that no verbal or oral agreements, promises or understandings shall be binding upon either
FAYETTEVILLE or CALLAHAN. In the event any provision of the Agreement is found to
be invalid or unenforceable, such finding shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement. The failure of either Party to insist upon strict
performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any of its
rights under the Agreement shall not waive such rights and such Party shall have the right to
3
enforce such rights at any time and take such action as may be lawful and authorized under
this Agreement, in law or in equity.
14. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the performance thereof shall be
governed, interpreted, construed and regulated by the laws of Arkansas and venue shall be in
Washington County.
15. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may be sold, assigned or transferred by
CALLAHAN without any approval or consent of FAYETTEVILLE to CALLAHAN's
principal, affiliates, subsidiaries of its principal or to any entity which acquires all or
substantially all of CALLAHAN's assets in the market defined by the Federal
Communications Commission in which the Property is located by reason of a merger,
acquisition or other business reorganization. As to other parties, this Agreement may not be
sold, assigned or transferred without the written consent of FAYETTEVILLE, which such
consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No change of stock ownership or
control of CALLAHAN shall constitute an assignment hereunder. CALLAHAN may
sublease any portion of the Property at its sole discretion upon notice to FAYETTEVILLE.
Any sublease that is entered into by CALLAHAN shall be subject to the provisions of this
Agreement and shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives
of the respective parties hereto. The term "Sublease", "Sublet' , "Sublessee" and any other
similar term shall apply to any situation by which CALLAHAN allows a third party use of'
the Property for co -location, whether it be by formal sublease, license or other agreement.
All rights and responsibilities of CALLAHAN set forth in this Agreement shall be enjoyed
by and binding on any Sublessee.
(a) In the event CALLAHAN subleases any portion of the Property, in accordance
with this Agreement, any rental paid by any Sublessee(s) shall be divided between
FAYETTEVILLE and CALLAHAN in the following manner: (i) The first cell phone
carrier's antenna array is paid for by the monthly rent charged to CALLAHAN pursuant to
this Land Lease Agreement; (ii) The gross rental paid by (and the gross value of any other
type of consideration received from) the business using the second set of cell phone antennas
shall be divided with 75% of the gross going to CALLAHAN and 25% to FAYETTEVILLE;
(iii) The gross rental paid by (and the gross value of any other type of consideration received
from) the business using the third and any subsequent set of cell phone antennas shall be
divided with 50% of the gross going to CALLAHAN and 50% to FAYETTEVILLE. Any
Sublessee shall be instructed to pay the foregoing percentage amounts directly to
CALLAHAN. CALLAHAN shall be responsible to Fayetteville for the collection or
payment of rents by the Sublessee and their remittance to FAYETTEVILLE. However,
CALLAHAN shall have no liability to FAYETTEVILLE in the event of failure of payment
by Sublessee. In this event, CALLAHAN shall have no liability of any nature to
FAYETTEVILLE for failure to sublet all or any part of the premises to any or all potential
Sublessee(s); CALLAHAN will provide FAYETTEVILLE with all agreements that have
been executed by CALLAHAN and its Sublessee.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, CALLAHAN shall not
be required to obtain approval from FAYETTEVILLE for the subletting of the Property or
4
part thereof. CALLAHAN shall have the sole right to determine whether it will Sublet any
portion of the Property or whether it will sublease to any specific Sublessee.
16. NOTICES. All notices hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed
validly given if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested or by commercial courier,
provided the courier's regular business is delivery service and provided further that it
guarantees delivery to the addressee by the end of the next business day following the
courier's receipt from the sender, addressed as follows (or any other address that the Party to

FAYETTEVILLE: CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE
Office of the Mayor
113 W. Mountain Street
Fayetteville, AR 72701
CALLAHAN: CALLAHAN TOWER JOINT VENTURE
ATTN: Jason Steele
520 N. College Avenue
Fayetteville, AR 72701
Notice shall be effective upon actual receipt or refusal as shown on the receipt
obtained pursuant to the foregoing.
17. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall extend to and bind the heirs, personal
representative, successors and assigns of the Parties hereto.
18. DEFAULT.
(a) In the event there is a breach by CALLAHAN with respect to any of the
provisions of this Agreement or its obligations under it, including the payment of rent,
FAYETTEVILLE shall give CALLAHAN written notice of such breach. After receipt of
such written notice, CALLAHAN shall have fifteen (15) days in which to cure any monetary
breach and thirty (30) days in which to cure any non -monetary breach, provided
CALLAHAN shall have such extended period as may be required beyond the thirty (30) days
if the nature of the cure is such that it reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days and
CALLAHAN commences the cure within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter
continuously and diligently pursues the cure to completion. FAYETTEVILLE may not
maintain any action or effect any remedies for default against CALLAHAN unless and until
CALLAHAN has failed to cure the breach within the time periods provided in this
Paragraph. However, repetitive breaches relating to blocking or interfering with the access
easement or the rights of other tenants to successfully operate their equipment without
electronic or other interference shall give FAYETTEVILLE the right to terminate this
contract even if such breaches are temporary and cured within thirty days.
(b) In the event there is a breach by FAYETTEVILLE with respect to any of the
provisions of this Agreement or its obligations under it, CALLAHAN shall give
FAYETTEVILLE written notice of such breach. After receipt of such written notice,
5
FAYETTEVILLE shall have thirty (30) days in which to cure any such breach, provided
FAYETTEVILLE shall have such extended period as may be required beyond the thirty (30)
days if the nature of the cure is such that it reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days and
FAYETTEVILLE commences the cure within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter
continuously and diligently pursues the cure to completion. CALLAHAN may not maintain
any action or effect any remedies for default against FAYETTEVILLE unless and until
FAYETTEVILLE 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 if FAYETTEVILLE fails, within five (5) days after receipt of written notice of
such breach, to perform an obligation required to be performed by FAYETTEVILLE if the
failure to perform such an obligation interferes with CALLAHAN's ability to conduct its
business on the Property; provided, however, that if the nature of FAYETTEVILLE's
obligation is such that more than five (5) days after such notice is reasonably required for its
performance, then it shall not be a default under this Agreement if performance is
commenced within such five (5) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
19. REMEDIES. Upon a default, the non -defaulting party may at its option (but
without obligation to do so), perform the defaulting party's duty or obligation on the
defaulting party s behalf. The costs and expenses of any such performance by the non -
defaulting party shall be due and payable by the defaulting party upon invoice therefor. In
the event of a default by either party with respect to a material provision of this Agreement,
without limiting the non -defaulting party in the exercise of any right or remedy which the
non -defaulting may have by reason of such default, the non -defaulting party may terminate
the Agreement and/or pursue any remedy now or hereafter available to the non -defaulting
party under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Premises are located;
provided, however, FAYETTEVILLE and CALLAHAN shall use reasonable efforts to
mitigate any damages in connection with a default by FAYETTEVILLE or CALLAHAN. If
CALLAHAN so performs any of FAYETTEVILLE's obligations hereunder, the full amount
of the reasonable and actual cost and expense incurred by CALLAHAN shall immediately be
owing by FAYETTEVILLE to CALLAHAN, and FAYETTEVILLE shall pay to
CALLAHAN upon demand the full undisputed amount thereof with interest thereon from the
date of payment at the highest rate permitted by applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if FAYETTEVILLE does not pay CALLAHAN the full undisputed amount within
thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice setting forth the amount due from CALLAHAN,
CALLAHAN may offset the full undisputed amount, including all accrued interest, due
against all fees due and owing to FAYETTEVILLE until the full undisputed amount,
including all accrued interest, is fully reimbursed to CALLAHAN.
20. CASUALTY. In the event of damage by fire or other casualty to the Premises
that cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired within forty-five (45) days following the
event, CALLAHAN may terminate this by sending written notice to FAYETTEVILLE. Any
such notice of termination shall cause this Agreement 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 this Agreement and the Parties shall make an appropriate adjustment, as of such
termination date, with respect to payments due to the other under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rent shall abate during the period of repair following such
6
fire or other casualty in proportion to the degree to which CALLAHAN'S use of the
Premises is impaired.
21. CONDEMNATION. In the event of any condemnation of all or any portion of
the Property, this Agreement shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the
condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first. If as a result of a
partial condemnation of the Premises or Property, CALLAHAN, in CALLAHAN's sole
discretion, is unable to use the Premises for the purposes intended hereunder, or if such
condemnation may reasonably be expected to disrupt CALLAHAN's operations at the
Premises for more than forty-five (45) days, CALLAHAN may, at CALLAHAN's option, to
be exercised in writing within fifteen (15) days after FAYETTEVILLE shall have given
CALLAHAN written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within fifteen
(15) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this
Agreement as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. CALLAHAN
may on its own behalf make a claim in any condemnation proceeding involving the Premises
for losses related to the equipment, conduits, fixtures, its relocation costs and its damages
and losses. Any such notice of termination shall cause this Agreement 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 this Agreement and the Parties shall make an appropriate adjustment
as of such termination date with respect to payments due to the other under this Agreement,.
CALLAHAN does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining,
except that the rent shall be reduced in the same proportion as the rentable area of the
Premises taken bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. In the event that this
Agreement is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, CALLAHAN shall promptly
repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemning authority.
22. SUBMISSION OF AGREEMENT/PARTIAL INVALIDITY/AUTHORITY.
The submission of this Agreement for examination does not constitute an offer to lease the
Premises and this Agreement becomes effective only upon the full execution of this
Agreement by the Parties. If any provision herein is invalid, it shall be considered deleted
from this Agreement and shall not invalidate the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Each of the Parties hereto warrants to the other that the person or persons executing this
Agreement on behalf of such Party has the full right, power and authority to enter into and
execute this Agreement on such Party's behalf and that no consent from any other person or
entity is necessary as a condition precedent to the legal effect of this Agreement.
23. APPLICABLE LAWS. CALLAHAN shall, in respect to the condition of the
Premises and at CALLAHAN's sole cost and expense, comply with (a) all Laws relating
solely to CALLAHAN'S specific and unique nature of use of the Premises; and (b) all
building codes requiring modifications to the Premises due to the improvements being made
by CALLAHAN in the Premises.
24. SURVIVAL. Any provisions of this Agreement which require performance
subsequent to the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall also survive such
termination or expiration.
7
25. CAPTIONS. The captions contained in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and are not intended to be part of the Agreement. They shall not affect or
be utilized in the construction or interpretation of the Agreement.
26. CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE'S RIGHT TO USE TOWER. As an express
condition for this lease and for the reduced rental payments demanded from CALLAHAN,
CALLAHAN agrees to provide FAYETTEVILLE adequate access to and use of the tower
and Leased Property to install antennas at sufficient height and location to fulfill the needs of
FAYETTEVILLE and its operating departments. FAYETTEVILLE agrees to cooperate with
CALLAHAN in the placement of its antennas to attempt to avoid interfering with
CALLAHAN's or sublessees' use of the tower for cell phone purposes.
27. WALKER PARK MURAL DONATION. Callahan Joint Ventures agrees to
contribute $20,000.00 to the Walker Park Mural project upon approval of this contract by the
City Council and approval of its conditional use permit request for the proposed cell tower by
the PlanningCommission.

PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD
Meeting Minutes March 5, 2007
A site visit to Walker Park was conducted at 5:30 P.M. to survey the location proposed by Staff for the
communication tower to be installed by Smith's 2 -way Radio. Discussion continued during the regular
meeting at City Hall.
Opening:
The regular meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board was called to order by Chairman Wade
Colwell at 6:05 P.M., on March 5, 2007 in Room 326 of the City Administration Building located at 113
West Mountain Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Present:
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members Colwell, Davidson, Burke, Davis,
Biendara, Mauritson, Hatfield and Bitler were present; Park Staff Edmonston,
Coles, Whillock, Curry, Wright and Jumper, City Horticulturist Netherland and
audience were in attendance.
1. Walker Park Cell Tower Proposal: Dave Reynolds, Smith Radio Project
Manager
The City is in the process of an agreement with Smith Radio to construct a cell tower at the
new Fire Station located in Routh Park. Smith Radio is also interested in locating a cell
tower in Walker Park. Staff has toured the site and found that the best location would
be adjacent to the parking lot located on Block and 13th Street. The tower would be
located on the northeast corner of the parking lot. The site was visited during the 5:30 pm
tour. Dave Reynolds presented the proposal for the cell tower during the tour and also
attended the meeting following the tour.
Colwell
said the City has been given
first right of refusal
to provide the location for the
tower.
Parks would
collect
revenues
from providing
the
space.
Edmonston said the Board will decide if this tower is compatible with the setting in Walker
Park which the Board visited prior to this evening's convened meeting. The City will collect
revenue but Smith 2 -Way Radio will donate money which will be used toward the
completion of the Walker Park Mural project.
Bitler asked if Staff has a recommendation.
Edmonston said the revenue is enticing since it's for a 30 year period.
Dave Reynolds explained the tower will be built at some location in the Walker Park vicinity
due to the increased need for a tower in the area. Some location on commercial land will
likely be used if Walker Park is not approved.
PRAB Motion:
Hatfield moved to table the vote to the Special Board meeting set for March 15th. Davis
seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of 8-0-0.

Chairman Wade Colwell at 5:35 P.M., on March 15, 2007 in Room 111 of the City
Administration Building located at 113 West Mountain Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members Colwell, Davidson, Burke, Davis,

Whillock, Curry, Wright and Jumper, City Trails Coordinator Mihalevich and audience

2. Walker Park Cell Tower Proposal: Dave Reynolds, Smith Radio Project
Manager
Edmonston provided an update stating at the last meeting the north parking lot
location at Walker Park had been mentioned as possibly a more desirable
location over the proposed location. She said Parks doesn't own all of the north
parking lot and the area has been designated a Parks and Tourism Outdoor
Recreation Grant Boundary in perpetuity. After considering other City lands in
the surrounding area it was determined none are within the area that will serve
the needs required for the cell tower.
Davidson said while in Ft. Smith he had looked for the tower Smith 2 -Way Radio
had placed there and to the credit of the manufacturer he could not find it.
Reynolds said if the tower is located outside the Park it will not look like a pine
tree but will have the same appearance as other cell towers. His company will,
however, construct it to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible because no one
wants a tower near them.
Edmonston said approving the tower on park land for a 30 year lease is a long
time for Parks to be responsible. If it's in a park we do have some responsibility.
Reynolds said Smith Radio will be responsible for upkeep.
Edmonston said she isn't
sure
she
wants to have the City set this precedence
(commercial
structures
placed
on
park
land).
Bitler asked should that area of Walker Park ever be developed would it possibly
March 15, 2007/ 1
be an obstruction.
Burke said everyone he spoke to was not in favor of setting the precedence of
placing towers in parks.
Colwell
suggested placing it across
the street on
Salvation Army land could
benefit
that
organization and
they
could
use the
money.
Reynolds said Smith Radio has talked to the Salvation Army and the mini -storage
owners next door about placement on their land.
Mauritson said the fact it's going to be placed somewhere in that area and will
certainly be visible makes him think Parks should get the revenue for placing it
on park land.
Hatfield asked what would happen if the tower was no longer needed due to
advanced technology.
Reynolds said their contract with the City states if technology deems towers to
be obsolete the existing towers installed by Smith 2 -Way Radio will be
dismantled within a year.
PRAB Motion:
Mauritson moved to approve the placement of the cell tower in Walker Park as
presented. Davis seconded the motion. The motion failed by a vote of 3-5-0
with Davis, Mauritson and Bitler voting 'yes' and Colwell, Biendara, Hatfield,
Burke and Davidson voting 'no'.

MEMORANDUM
Date: May 30, 2007
To: City Council
From: Connie Edmonston, Parks & Recreation Director
Subject: Walker Park Cell Tower Information
Attached is a location map and information relating to the proposed cell tower in Walker Park. The
proposed site for the tower is northeast of the parking lot located on the intersection of 13th Street
and Block Street. David Reynolds from Smith Communications said he would stake and mark the
site for you by Thursday.
Please note the parking lot on north Block Street that serves the BMX Track and Grinders Skate
Park is not entirely owned by the City. Park property is outlined in green. In addition, this parking
lot and Area B, as well as Area A marked on the map, are within an Arkansas Parks and Tourism
Outdoor Recreation Grant provision that secures in perpetuity the use of these areas for outdoor
recreational use only. Therefore, the cell tower could not be located in this area. Please refer to the
agenda memo.
If you have any questions, please call me at 444-3473. I would be happy to meet you on site.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor Dan Coody and City Council
Thru: Gary Dumas, Operations Director
From: Connie Edmonston, Parks and Recreation Director
Date: April 12, 2007
Subject: Resolution to authorize the Mayor to process a Conditional Use
application for a cell tower in Walker Park
BACKGROUND
Smith Communications has submitted a request to place a 150 foot cell tower within the
confines of Walker Park. This tower would be configured as a Monopine camo-mount to
blend into the forest canopy and imitate the appearance of a pine tree. This request would
be similar to the cell tower lease and contract that was approved at the new Fire Station in
Routh Park.
Representatives of Smith Communications toured the Walker Park area with Park Staff
and found the best location would be adjacent to the parking lot located north of 13°'
Street and Block. The tower would require a 30 foot road and utility easement from the
northeast comer of the parking lot leading to a 3,600 square foot area in which the tower
would be located. The area would be screened with a wood fence and landscaping.
Many areas within Walker Park were not considered because they were not accessible to
tower service vehicles, in too close proximity to active recreation areas, or were within
the floodway.
There are two areas of Walker Park that are included in an Arkansas Parks and Tourism
Outdoor Recreation Grant provision that secures in perpetuity the use of these areas for
outdoor recreational use only. Several grant projects were awarded in these areas to build
the skate park in the northwest section and the playground, restroom and racquetball
court on the southern portion. The location of a cell tower would be prohibited in these
areas. These areas are noted as A and B on the attached map. The western two thirds of
the Block Street parking lot is not owned by the City.
The request for a 30 year lease with Smith Communications for a cell tower in Walker
Park was presented to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) on March 5,
2007. PRAB toured the site with David Reynolds from Smith Communications and
unanimously voted to table the vote to a Special Board meeting on March 15, 2007.
On March 15th PRAB voted (5-3) against the proposed placement of the cell tower in
Walker Park. Discussion included statements related to the incompatibility of a cell
tower with the relative natural forested setting of Walker Park. Other members were
concerned about potentially establishing a precedent for placing towers in parks and the
long length of the lease that could conflict with the future use of the park. There was
some discussion about distorting or obscuring the view from the downtown area to
Walker Park. PRAB members voting for the cell tower stated that if the tower was going
City Council Meeting of May 1, 2007
Agenda Item Number
to be placed in that area and be visible from the park, they would like the Parks to receive
the revenue instead of another entity. (See attached PRAB March 5 and 15, 2007
minutes.)
DISCUSSION
Unified Development Code Title XV, section 163.14 Wireless Communications Facilities
(F), states the City "...should actively market its own property and existing structures as
suitable co -location sites." Even though the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board voted
against the tower to be located in Walker Park, Smith Communications is asking the City
Council if a portion of Walker Park could be leased for the tower. (See attached letter.)
This submission is not a request for the approval of the cell tower, but a to allow a
petition to the Planning Comission to determine land use campatibility in Walker Park for
the tower. If approved by the City Council, a lease agreement will be forwarded for
consideration. In order for Smith Communication to complete the Planning Commission
Conditional Use Application, they must have the approval of the City to lease the land. In
this instance in which PRAB recommended denial of the use of Walker Park for the cell
tower placement, it is essential to determine the intent of City Council before Smith
Communications proceeds with the Conditional Use Application. Smith
Communications must know if the City would lease the land before they continue to the
Planning Commission for final determination,
BUDGET IMPACT
The contract between the City and Smith Communications would be very similar to the
contract for the Fire Station at Routh Park. This would be a 30 year lease allowing up to
five carriers on the tower. The City could receive monthly revenues of $3,500 to $4,500
depending on the number of carriers and the contract negotiated by our City Attorney.
Smith Communications has also agreed to donate $20,000 to the Walker Park Mural
project to help with it's completion to include three kiosk signs, audio recordings related
to the depictions on the mural and a sidewalk around the perimeter for ADA accessibility.

hereinafter designated FAYETTEVILLE, and SMITH COMMUNICATIONS, LLC, with
its principal office located at Smith 2 -Way Communications, 520 N. College Avenue,
Fayetteville, AR 72701, hereinafter designated as SMITH COMMUNICATIONS.
FAYETTEVILLE and SMITH COMMUNICATIONS are at times collectively referred to
hereinafter as the "Parties".
1. PREMISES. FAYETTEVILLE hereby leases to SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS, a portion of that certain parcel of property referred to hereinafter as
the Walker Park site, located in Washington County, Arkansas, and described in Exhibit
"A" attached hereto (the "Land Space"), together with the non-exclusive but constant (24
hours per day, 7 days a week) access and utility easement over, under, or along the existing
driveway, said Land Space and easement (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Premises") being substantially as described herein in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made
a part hereof. SMITH COMMUNICATIONS agrees not to block the driveway at any time
and to coordinate and cooperate with the CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE and its Parks
Department in their use and access to their facilities.
2. SURVEY. FAYETTEVILLE also hereby grants to SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS, the right to survey the Walker Park site and the Premises, and said
survey after review and acceptance by FAYETTEVILLE shall then become Exhibit "B"
which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof, and shall control in the event of
boundary and access discrepancies between it and Exhibit "A". Cost for such work shall be
borne by SMITH COMMUNICATIONS.
3. TERM. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date of execution by both
parties, and the initial term of five (5) years shall commence on the first day of the month
following the Planning Commission's approval of the conditional use permit for a cell tower
at this site, at which time rental payments shall commence and be due at a total monthly
rental of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) to be paid on the first day of the month, in
advance, to FAYETTEVILLE.
4. EXTENSIONS. This Agreement shall automatically be extended for four (4)
additional five (5) year terms unless SMITH COMMUNICATIONS, terminates it at the end
of the then current term by giving FAYETTEVILLE written notice of its intent to terminate
at least six (6) months prior to the end of the then current term.
5. EXTENSION RENTALS. The monthly rental for the first five year extension
term shall be increased by an amount equal to the total CPI increase during the five year
period of the lease; the monthly rental for the second five year extension term shall be
further increased by an amount equal to the total CPI increase during the second five year
period of the lease;
the monthly rental for
the third five year extension term shall be further
increased
by an
amount equal to the total
CPI increase during the third five year period of
the
lease;
and the monthly rental for the
fourth five year extension term shall be further
increased
by an
amount equal to the total
CPI increase during the fourth five year period of

6. USE: GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. SMITH COMMUNICATIONS
shall use the Premises for the purpose of constructing, maintaining, repairing and operating
a communications facility and uses incidental thereto. A security fence consisting of chain
link construction or similar but comparable construction may be placed around the
perimeter of the Premises at the discretion of SMITH COMMUNICATIONS, (not
including the access easement). All improvements, equipment and conduits shall be at
SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's expense and the installation of all improvements shall be
at the discretion and option of SMITH COMMUNICATIONS. SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall have the right to replace, repair, add or otherwise modify its
equipment and/or conduits or any portion thereof and the frequencies over which the
equipment operates, whether the equipment, conduits or frequencies are specified or not on
any exhibit attached hereto, during the Term. It is understood and agreed that SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS's ability to use the Premises is contingent upon its obtaining after
the execution date of this Agreement 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 satisfactory soil boring tests which will permit SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS use of the Premises as set forth above. FAYETTEVILLE shall take
no action which would adversely affect the status of the Property with respect to the
proposed use thereof by SMITH COMMUNICATIONS. In the event that any of such
applications for such Governmental Approvals should be finally rejected; any
Governmental Approval issued to SMITH COMMUNICATIONS is canceled, expires,
lapses, or is otherwise withdrawn or terminated by governmental authority SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. Notice of
SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's exercise of its right to terminate shall be given to
FAYETTEVILLE in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be
effective upon the mailing of such notice by SMITH COMMUNICATIONS, or upon such
later date as designated by SMITH COMMUNICATIONS. All rentals paid to said
termination date shall be retained by FAYETTEVILLE. Upon such termination, this
Agreement 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 hereunder. Otherwise, SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall have no further obligations for the payment of rent to
FAYETTEVILLE. If this site becomes technologically unsuitable for SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS's purposes, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS may terminate this
lease upon ninety days notice.
7. INSURANCE. SMITH COMMUNICATIONS agrees that at its own cost
and expense, it will maintain commercial general liability insurance with limits not less
2
than $1,000,000 for injury to or death of one or more persons in any one occurrence and
$500,000 for damage or destruction to property in any one occurrence.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In no event will either FAYETTEVILLE or
SMITH COMMUNICATIONS 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
loss or interruption of use of service, under any theory of tort, strict liability or
negligence.
9. INTERFERENCE. SMITH COMMUNICATIONS agrees to install
equipment of the type and frequency which will not cause material interference which is
measurable in accordance with then existing industry standards to any equipment of
FAYETTEVILLE or its lessees of the Property. In the event any after -installed SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS's equipment causes such interference, and after FAYETTEVILLE
has notified SMITH COMMUNICATIONS in writing of such interference, SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS will take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to correct
and eliminate the interference, including but not limited to, at SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS's option, powering down such equipment and later powering up
such equipment for intermittent testing. In no event will FAYETTEVILLE be entitled to
terminate this Agreement or relocate the equipment as long as SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS is making a good faith effort to remedy the interference issue.
SMITH COMMUNICATIONS agrees to indemnify and hold Fayetteville harmless from
any claim by other tenants that SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's equipment has damaged
or interfered with their equipment or service to their customers. FAYETTEVILLE agrees
that it or other tenants 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 material interference which is measurable in accordance
with then existing industry standards to the then existing equipment of SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS.
10. REMOVAL AT END OF TERM. SMITH COMMUNICATIONS shall,
upon expiration of the Term, or within ninety (90) days after any earlier termination of
the Agreement, remove its building(s), antenna structure(s) (except footings), equipment,
conduits, fixtures and all personal property and restore the Premises to its original
condition, reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage excepted. FAYETTEVILLE
agrees and acknowledges that all of the equipment, conduits, fixtures and personal
property of SMITH COMMUNICATIONS shall remain the personal property of SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS and SMITH COMMUNICATIONS 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 such time for removal causes
SMITH COMMUNICATIONS to remain on the Premises after termination of this
Agreement, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS shall pay rent at the then existing monthly
rate or on the existing monthly pro -rata basis if based upon a longer payment term, until
3
such time as the removal of the building, antenna structure, fixtures and all personal
property are completed.
11. QUIET ENJOYMENT. FAYETTEVILLE covenants that SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS, on paying the rent and performing the covenants herein, shall
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises. FAYETTEVILLE agrees that
this lease shall survive and remain in force if FAYETTEVILLE sells or transfers any part
of the Land Space.
12. TITLE. FAYETTEVILLE represents and warrants to SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS as of the execution date of this Agreement, and covenants during
the Term that FAYETTEVILLE is seized of good and sufficient title and interest to the
Property and has full authority to enter into and execute this Agreement and that there are
no covenants, easement or restrictions which prevent or adversely affect the use of
occupancy of the Premises by SMITH COMMUNICATIONS as set forth above.
13. INTEGRATION. It is agreed and understood that this Agreement contains
all agreements, promises and understandings between FAYETTEVILLE and SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS and that no verbal or oral agreements, promises or understandings
shall be binding upon either FAYETTEVILLE or SMITH COMMUNICATIONS. In the
event any provision of the Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such
finding shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement. The failure of either Party to insist upon strict performance of any of the
terms or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any of its rights under the Agreement
shall not waive such rights and such Party shall have the right to enforce such rights at
any time and take such action as may be lawful and authorized under this Agreement, in
law or in equity.
14. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the performance thereof shall be
governed, interpreted, construed and regulated by the laws of Arkansas and venue shall be
in Washington County.
15. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may be sold, assigned or transferred by
SMITH COMMUNICATIONS without any approval or consent of FAYETTEVILLE to
SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's principal, affiliates, subsidiaries of its principal or to
any entity which acquires all or substantially all of SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's
assets in the market defined by the Federal Communications Commission in which the
Property is located by reason of a merger, acquisition or other business reorganization.
As to other parties, this Agreement may not be sold, assigned or transferred without the
written consent of FAYETTEVILLE, which such consent will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. No change of stock ownership or control of SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall constitute an assignment hereunder. SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS may sublease any portion of the Property at its sole discretion
upon notice to FAYETTEVILLE. Any sublease that is entered into by SMITH
4
COMMUNICATIONS shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and shall be
binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives of the respective
parties hereto. The term "Sublease", "Sublet", "Sublessee" and any other similar term
shall apply to any situation by which SMITH COMMUNICATIONS allows a third party
use of the Property for co -location, whether it be by formal sublease, license or other
agreement. All rights and responsibilities of SMITH COMMUNICATIONS set forth in
this Agreement shall be enjoyed by and binding on any Sublessee.
(a) In the event SMITH COMMUNICATIONS subleases any portion of the
Property, in accordance with this Agreement, any rental paid by any Sublessee(s) shall be
divided between FAYETTEVILLE and SMITH COMMUNICATIONS in the following
manner: (i) The first cell phone carrier's antenna array is paid for by the monthly rent
charged to SMITH COMMUNICATIONS pursuant to this Land Lease Agreement; (ii)
The gross rental paid by (and the gross value of any other type of consideration received
from) the business using the second set of cell phone antennas shall be divided with 75%
of the gross going to SMITH COMMUNICATIONS and 25% to FAYETTEVILLE; (iii)
The gross rental paid by (and the gross value of any other type of consideration received
from) the business using the third and any subsequent set of cell phone antennas shall be
divided with 50% of the gross going to SMITH COMMUNICATIONS and 50% to
FAYETTEVILLE. Any Sublessee shall be instructed to pay the foregoing percentage
amounts directly to SMITH COMMUNICATIONS. SMITH COMMUNICATIONS shall
be responsible to Fayetteville for the collection or payment of rents by the Sublessee and
their remittance to FAYETTEVILLE. However, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS shall
have no liability to FAYETTEVILLE in the event of failure of payment by Sublessee. In
this event, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS shall have no liability of any nature to
FAYETTEVILLE for failure to sublet all or any part of the premises to any or all
potential Sublessee(s); SMITH COMMUNICATIONS will provide FAYETTEVILLE
with all agreements that have been executed by SMITH COMMUNICATIONS and its
Sublessee.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall not be required to obtain approval from FAYETTEVILLE
for the subletting of the Property or part thereof. SMITH COMMUNICATIONS shall
have the sole right to determine whether it will Sublet any portion of the Property or
whether it will sublease to any specific Sublessee.

Notice shall be effective upon actual receipt or refusal as shown on the receipt
obtained pursuant to the foregoing.
17. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall extend to and bind the heirs, personal
representative, successors and assigns of the Parties hereto.
18. DEFAULT.
(a) In the event there is a breach by SMITH COMMUNICATIONS with respect
to any of the provisions of this Agreement or its obligations under it, including the
payment of rent, FAYETTEVILLE shall give SMITH COMMUNICATIONS written
notice of such breach. After receipt of such written notice, SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall have fifteen (15) days in which to cure any monetary breach
and thirty (30) days in which to cure any non -monetary breach, provided SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall have such extended period as may be required beyond the
thirty (30) days if the nature of the cure is such that it reasonably requires more than thirty
(30) days and SMITH COMMUNICATIONS commences the cure within the thirty (30)
day period and thereafter continuously and diligently pursues the cure to completion.
FAYETTEVILLE may not maintain any action or effect any remedies for default against
SMITH COMMUNICATIONS unless and until SMITH COMMUNICATIONS has
failed to cure the breach within the time periods provided in this Paragraph. However,
repetitive breaches relating to blocking or interfering with the access easement or the
rights of other tenants to successfully operate their equipment without electronic or other
interference shall give FAYETTEVILLE the right to terminate this contract even if such
breaches are temporary and cured within thirty days.
(b) In the event there is a breach by FAYETTEVILLE with respect to any of the
provisions of this Agreement or its obligations under it, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS
shall give FAYETTEVILLE written notice of such breach. After receipt of such written
notice, FAYETTEVILLE shall have thirty (30) days in which to cure any such breach,
provided FAYETTEVILLE shall have such extended period as may be required beyond
the thirty (30) days if the nature of the cure is such that it reasonably requires more than
thirty (30) days and FAYETTEVILLE commences the cure within the thirty (30) day
period and thereafter continuously and diligently pursues the cure to completion. SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS may not maintain any action or effect any remedies for default
against FAYETTEVILLE unless and until FAYETTEVILLE 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 if FAYETTEVILLE fails, within five
(5) days after receipt of written notice of such breach, to perform an obligation required to
be performed by FAYETTEVILLE if the failure to perform such an obligation interferes
with SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's ability to conduct its business on the Property;
provided, however, that if the nature of FAYETTEVILLE's obligation is such that more
than five (5) days after such notice is reasonably required for its performance, then it shall
not be a default under this Agreement if performance is commenced within such five (5)
day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
19. REMEDIES. Upon a default, the non -defaulting party may at its option (but
without obligation to do so), perform the defaulting party's duty or obligation on the
defaulting party's behalf. The costs and expenses of any such performance by the non -
defaulting party shall be due and payable by the defaulting party upon invoice therefor. In
the event of a default by either party with respect to a material provision of this
Agreement, without limiting the non -defaulting party in the exercise of any right or
remedy which the non -defaulting may have by reason of such default, the non -defaulting
party may terminate the Agreement and/or pursue any remedy now or hereafter available
to the non -defaulting party under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the
Premises are located; provided, however, FAYETTEVILLE and SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages in connection
with a default by FAYETTEVILLE or SMITH COMMUNICATIONS. If SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS so performs any of FAYETTEVILLE's obligations hereunder, the
full amount of the reasonable and actual cost and expense incurred by SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall immediately be owing by FAYETTEVILLE to SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS, and FAYETTEVILLE shall pay to SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS upon demand the full undisputed amount thereof with interest
thereon from the date of payment at the highest rate permitted by applicable Laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if FAYETTEVILLE does not pay SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS the full undisputed amount within thirty (30) days of its receipt of
an invoice setting forth the amount due from SMITH COMMUNICATIONS, SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS may offset the full undisputed amount, including all accrued
interest, due against all fees due and owing to FAYETTEVILLE until the full undisputed
amount, including all accrued interest, is fully reimbursed to SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS.
20. CASUALTY. In the event of damage by fire or other casualty to the
Premises that cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired within forty-five (45) days
following the event, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS may terminate this by sending
written notice to FAYETTEVILLE. Any such notice of termination shall cause this
Agreement 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 this Agreement and the Parties
shall make an appropriate adjustment, as of such termination date, with respect to
WI
payments due to the other under this Agreement. 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 SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's use of the Premises is impaired.
21. CONDEMNATION. In the event of any condemnation of all or any portion
of the Property, this Agreement shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the
condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first. If as a result of a
partial condemnation of the Premises or Property, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS, in
SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's sole discretion, is unable to use the Premises for the
purposes intended hereunder, or if such condemnation may reasonably be expected to
disrupt SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's operations at the Premises for more than forty-
five (45) days, SMITH COMMUNICATIONS may, at SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's
option, to be exercised in writing within fifteen (15) days after FAYETTEVILLE shall
have given SMITH COMMUNICATIONS written notice of such taking (or in the
absence of such notice, within fifteen (15) days after the condemning authority shall have
taken possession) terminate this Agreement as of the date the condemning authority takes
such possession. SMITH COMMUNICATIONS may on its own behalf make a claim in
any condemnation proceeding involving the Premises for losses related to the equipment,
conduits, fixtures, its relocation costs and its damages and losses. Any such notice of
termination shall cause this Agreement 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 this
Agreement and the Parties shall make an appropriate adjustment as of such termination
date with respect to payments due to the other under this Agreement,. SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with the
foregoing, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the
Premises remaining, except that the rent shall be reduced in the same proportion as the
rentable area of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. In the
event that this Agreement is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, SMITH
COMMUNICATIONS shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by such
condemning authority.
22. SUBMISSION OF AGREEMENT/PARTIAL INVALIDITY/AUTHORITY.
The submission of this Agreement for examination does not constitute an offer to lease
the Premises and this Agreement becomes effective only upon the full execution of this
Agreement by the Parties. If any provision herein is invalid, it shall be considered deleted
from this Agreement and shall not invalidate the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Each of the Parties hereto warrants to the other that the person or persons executing this
Agreement on behalf of such Party has the full right, power and authority to enter into and
execute this Agreement on such Party's behalf and that no consent from any other person
or entity is necessary as a condition precedent to the legal effect of this Agreement.
23. APPLICABLE LAWS. SMITH COMMUNICATIONS shall, in respect to
the condition of the Premises and at SMITH COMMUNICATIONS's sole cost and
