C. GRAPEVINE agrees that OWNERS' Property(including,without limitation,the Tower),and all improvements,comply and
during the term of this Lease shall continue to comply with all building, life/safety,disability and other laws,codes and regulations of
any applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authority. All such compliance shall be accomplished at GRAPEVINE's sole cost
and expense.
D. This Lease and the performance hereof shall be governed, interpreted,construed and regulated by the laws of the State of
Texas.
E. This Lease,and each and every covenant and condition herein, is intended to benefit the Leased Site and shall extend to and
bind the heirs,personal representatives,successors and assigns of the parties.
F. The parties agree that all of the provisions hereof shall be construed as both covenants and conditions,the same as if the
words importing such covenants and conditions had been used in each separate paragraph.
G. The parties acknowledge that each has had an opportunity to review and negotiate this Lease and have executed this Lease
only after such review and negotiation. The language of each part of this Lease shall be construed simply and according to its fair
meaning,and this Lease shall not be construed more strictly in favor or against either party.
H. At GRAPEVINE's option,this Lease shall be subordinate to any mortgage by GRAPEVINE which from time to time may
encumber all or any part of the Leased Site,provided that every such mortgagee shall recognize(in writing and in a form acceptable to
TENANT)the validity of this Lease in the event of a foreclosure of GRAPEVINE's interest and also TENANT's right to remain in
occupancy and have access to the Leased Site as long as TENANT is not in default of this Lease. TENANT shall execute whatever
instruments may reasonably be required to evidence this subordination. If,as of the date of execution of this Lease,there is any deed
of trust,ground lease or other similar encumbrance affecting GRAPEVINE's Property,GRAPEVINE agrees to use its best efforts in
cooperating with TENANT to obtain from the holder of such encumbrance an agreement that TENANT shall not be disturbed in its
possession,use and enjoyment of the Leased Site.
I. If GRAPEVINE breaches this Lease in any manner or substantially breaches any material term contained in any mortgage or
deed of trust superior to TENANT's estate under this Lease(other than any mortgage or deed of trust for which TENANT has obtained
a non-disturbance agreement in accordance with Paragraph 22.H.)or contained in any lease under which GRAPEVINE holds title to
any portion of OWNERS'Property,and if GRAPEVINE fails to commence to cure such breach within thirty(30)days after receiving
a written notice from TENANT exactly specifying the violation(or if GRAPEVINE fails thereafter to diligently prosecute the cure to
completion),then TENANT may enforce each of its rights and remedies under this Lease or provided by law or it may(although it
shall not be obligated to do so)cure GRAPEVINE's breach or perform GRAPEVINE's obligations(on GRAPEVINE's behalf and at
GRAPEVINE's respective expense)and require the GRAPEVINE to reimburse(or offset against rent)all reasonable expenses
incurred in doing so plus interest(from the date such expenses are incurred until reimbursement)at ten percent(10%)per annum.
J. In the event that(i)the Leased Site is encumbered by or subject to any debts and liens,and(ii)GRAPEVINE defaults in the
payment and/or performance of said debts and liens,TENANT may,at its option and without obligation,cure or correct
GRAPEVINE's defaults,and upon doing so,TENANT shall be subrogated to any and all rights,superior titles, liens,and equities
)weed or claimed by the holders of such debts and liens,and TENANT shall be entitled to deduct and set-off against all rents that next
nay be or may become due under this Lease until all sums so paid by TENANT to cure or correct GRAPEVINE's defaults have been
ieducted and set-off in full against such rents.
K. If any portion of this Lease is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,then such portion
;hall be deemed modified to the extent necessary in such court's opinion to render such portion enforceable and,as so modified,such
)ortion and the balance of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
L. If a dispute arises between the parties relating to this Lease,the parties agree to meet to try to resolve the dispute. Such meeting
hall be attended by individuals with decision-making authority to attempt,in good faith,to negotiate a resolution of the dispute prior
o pursuing other available remedies. If,within thirty(30)days after such meeting,the parties have not succeeded in negotiating a
esolution of the dispute,either party may request that such dispute be resolved through non-binding mediation. The mediator shall be
in individual or firm with expertise in wireless telecommunications,as well as in the subject matter of the dispute. If either party
GROUND AND TOWER LEASE-PAGE 9
Printed: 7/11/0,11:2 pm)
institutes any action or proceeding in court to enforce any provision hereof,or any action for damages for any alleged breach of any
provision hereof,then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to receive from the non-prevailing party such
amount as the court may adjudge to be reasonable attorneys' fees for the services rendered to the prevailing party,together with its
other reasonable litigation expenses.
M. In addition to the other remedies provided for in this Lease,GRAPEVINE and TENANT shall be entitled to immediate
restraint by injunction of any violation of any of the covenants,conditions or provisions of this Lease.
N. The captions of the paragraphs of this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of
this Lease.
O. Concurrently with the execution of this Lease,GRAPEVINE shall execute before a notary and deliver to TENANT for
recording a"Memorandum of Lease Agreement"in the form of the attached Exhibit"B",with the same Exhibits"A l","A2"and"A3"
