Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On June 2, 1999, Crown Castle International Corp. ("CCIC") acquired 619 wireless communications towers from Powertel, Inc., Powertel Atlanta Towers, LLC, Powertel Birmingham Towers, LLC, Powertel Jacksonville Towers, LLC, Powertel Kentucky Towers, LLC and Powertel Memphis Towers, LLC (collectively "Powertel") for approximately $262.0 million in cash pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") dated as of March 15, 1999 between CCIC and Powertel, and as amended by the Closing Memorandum (the "Closing Memorandum") dated June 2, 1999. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Powertel will continue to lease space on the towers for ten years, with the option to renew such lease for three additional five-year terms. CCIC will receive revenue of $1,800 per month per tower from Powertel as anchor tenant, subject to a 15 percent rent increase on each fifth anniversary of the agreement up to an amount that is 115 percent of the rent paid during the preceding five year period.

In addition, pursuant to a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") dated June 2, 1999 between CCIC and Powertel, CCIC will acquire 31 additional tower sites which are existing Powertel sites or sites in the process of being constructed. The transaction contemplated by the Letter Agreement is expected to close on or before December 2, 1999. Tower space on such towers will be leased to Powertel at $1,800 per month on the same terms as the towers acquired pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Letter Agreement further includes an exclusive build-to-suit arrangement through December 31, 2000. Powertel will lease space on these new build-to-suit towers at $1,500 per month and otherwise on the same terms as the acquired Powertel towers. CCIC will also provide antenna installation for Powertel on all build-to-suit sites and in-progress sites subject to any existing antenna installation agreements Powertel has with respect to certain sites.

EXHIBIT 2.2
CLOSING MEMORANDUM

This Closing Memorandum, dated June 2, 1999, is entered into by and among Powertel, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Powertel"), Powertel Atlanta Towers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Atlanta Towers"), Powertel Birmingham Towers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Birmingham Towers"), Powertel Jacksonville Towers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Jacksonville Towers"), Powertel Kentucky Towers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Kentucky Towers"), Powertel Memphis Towers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Memphis Towers" and, together with Atlanta Towers, Birmingham Towers, Jacksonville Towers and Kentucky Towers, the "Sellers"), Crown Castle International Corp., a Delaware corporation ("CCIC"), and Crown Castle PT Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly CCP Inc., the "Buyer").

R E C I T A L S

The parties hereto entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of March 15, 1999 (the "Agreement"). In connection with the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement (the "Closing"), which is occurring simultaneously with the execution of this Closing Memorandum, the parties hereto desire to confirm and memorialize certain agreements and amend and supplement the Agreement in certain respects, all as set forth herein.

In consideration of the premises, the parties hereto agree as follows:

A G R E E M E N T

1. Status of Agreement. Except as set forth herein, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. All capitalized terms used and not defined in this Closing Memorandum shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. In the event of any conflict as to any matter between the Agreement and this Closing Memorandum, the terms of this Closing Memorandum shall control. In all other respects, this Closing Memorandum shall be considered a supplement to and construed as a part of the Agreement. The disclosure set forth herein and on the exhibits hereto shall be deemed to update and amend all Schedules to the Agreement as of the Closing Date.

2. Eulonia Site. Powertel and Sellers have recently discovered that certain construction activities at the Eulonia Site (J-GA-095-108) may have resulted in the fill of wetlands without certain necessary approvals and permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Powertel and Sellers have evaluated and are continuing to evaluate the situation and are applying to obtain the requisite approvals and permits for such fill activities. Powertel and Sellers agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of one year following the Closing Date to obtain at their expense a permit from the U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers with respect to past fill activity on wetlands at such site. Notwithstanding such one year limitation, Powertel and Sellers acknowledge that all

Liabilities arising from the fill of wetlands without obtaining the requisite approvals and permits are Retained Liabilities.

3. Certain Sites that Require Consent.

(a) Management Agreement Pending Possible Sale. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a list of Tower Sites which CCIC and Buyer desire to purchase from Powertel and Sellers, but for which certain Required Consents have not been obtained. CCIC and Buyer have paid to Powertel and Sellers a management fee of $423,077 (the "Management Fee") for each Tower Site listed on Exhibit A. In consideration of the payment of this Management Fee, which the parties acknowledge and agree is fully earned when paid, Powertel and Sellers hereby agree to pay over to CCIC and Buyer all amounts (whenever received) with respect to the Tower Sites listed on Exhibit A (including rents and other amounts paid with respect to such Tower Sites) for periods after June 1, 1999 and agree that CCIC and Buyer may exercise all rights with respect to such Tower Sites (including the right to cause Powertel and Seller to accept new tenants upon such site, in accordance with the terms and conditions that govern the Tower Sites sold at the Closing). CCIC and Buyer agree to promptly reimburse Powertel and Sellers for all amounts paid by Powertel and Sellers (whenever paid) for periods after June 1, 1999 with respect to the lease of land at such Tower Sites, and commencing on June 1, 1999, to bear the risk of loss and costs of maintenance, repairs, upkeep, insurance, taxes and other expenses (except for tower monitoring obligations which shall be retained by Powertel or its affiliates for and on behalf of Buyer for a period of six (6) months pursuant to the Master Lease) incurred in connection with such Tower Sites. CCIC and Buyer agree that they shall be responsible for the performance of Powertel's and Sellers' obligations with respect to such Tower Sites to the extent arising or accruing after June 1, 1999 (except for tower monitoring obligations which shall be retained by Powertel or its affiliates for and on behalf of Buyer for a period of six (6) months pursuant to the Master Lease), and the parties hereto agree that they shall comply with the terms of all Contracts relating to such Tower Sites.

(b) Agreement to Sell and Purchase if Consent Obtained. Powertel and Sellers agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of one year following the Closing Date to obtain the Required Consents. The parties agree that when all Required Consents are obtained with respect to any Tower Site set forth on Exhibit A, Powertel and Sellers will convey all of their right, title and interest in such Tower Site to CCIC and Buyer, subject to the terms and conditions upon which other Tower Sites were conveyed by Powertel and Sellers to CCIC and Buyer at the Closing. In that the Management Fee referred to in Section 3(a) above has been paid at Closing with respect to a Tower Site that is being conveyed pursuant to this Section 3(b), the Management Fee shall be considered as, and shall serve as full credit against, the purchase price for the conveyance of such Tower Site.

2

(c) Option to Sublease. If Required Consents are not obtained with respect to any Tower Site listed on Exhibit A within 90 days following the Closing Date, upon written request from CCIC to Powertel, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith, to the extent allowed by the Contracts related to such Tower Sites, a sublease arrangement that allows CCIC and Buyer to assume the rights and obligations of ownership of such Tower Site. In that the Management Fee referred to in
Section 3(a) above has been paid at Closing with respect to each Tower Site subleased pursuant to this Section 3(c), the Management Fee shall be considered as, and shall serve as full credit against, consideration for such sublease arrangement.

(d) In the event Required Consents are not obtained, and in the event the parties are unable to enter into a sublease arrangement for any of the Tower Sites listed on Exhibit A, the parties shall continue to operate under Section 3(a) above and shall cooperate as provided in Section 2.4 of the Agreement in furnishing such further assurances as shall fulfill the parties' intention that CCIC and Buyer enjoy and bear the legal and economic benefits, burdens and risk of loss associated with leasing and operating the subject Tower Site from and after June 1, 1999. The parties further acknowledge and agree that in the event the management and sublease arrangements create an unreasonable risk of Default under an applicable Site Lease, either party shall have the right to recquire a rescission of such arrangement and a refund in full of the Management Fee applicable to the subject Tower Site.

4. Rejected Sites. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the following Tower Sites are Rejected Sites under the Agreement: (i) Pine Mountain (I-GA-072-0008); (ii) Greenway (A-GA-060-0023); (iii) U.S. 278 (J-GA-025-998);
(iv) Prattville (B-AL-001-149); (v) Shiloh (N0581); (vi) Heck Road (AN0017A); and (vii) Temple (AS0329C).

5. Acceptance of Certain Defective Sites.

(a) In order to induce CCIC and Buyer to accept the Defective Sites listed on Exhibit B, Powertel and Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree, with respect to such Defective Sites only, that the following shall constitute Retained Liabilities: any Third Party Claims arising from a Defect constituting an Environmental Condition in existence on any such listed Defective Site as of Closing, whether or not caused by Powertel, the Sellers or their Affiliates. For purposes of this Paragraph 5(a) only, the $75,000.00 limitation contained in the definition of "Environmental Condition" shall not apply. Powertel and Sellers hereby acknowledge that the term "Person" as used in the definition of "Third Party Claims" includes any Governmental Authority of the appropriate jurisdiction.

3

(b) In order to induce CCIC and Buyer to accept the Defective Sites listed on Exhibit C, Powertel and Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree, with respect to such Defective Sites only, that the following shall constitute Retained Liabilities: any Third Party Claims arising from the Defects affecting title to such Defective Sites. Except as set forth herein, CCIC and Buyer shall be deemed to have otherwise waived such Defect at Closing.

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that acceptance of all other Defective Sites by CCIC and Buyer, other than those Defective Sites listed on Exhibit B and Exhibit C hereto, has occurred in accordance with the terms, conditions and requirements of the Agreement.

6. Transfer Tax. CCIC and Buyer shall indemnify and hold Powertel and Sellers harmless from and against any interest or penalties arising from any underpayment of transfer taxes or document stamps due upon recordation of deeds, Assignments and Assumptions of Lease, Site Lease Acknowledgments or other documents executed in connection with the transfer of the Assets pursuant to the Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the obligation of Powertel and Sellers to pay one-half of the transfer taxes or document stamps actually determined to be due and owing upon such recordation as set forth in
Section 10.3 of the Agreement. CCIC and Buyer shall have the right to control any audits or proceedings relating to transfer taxes. Powertel and Sellers shall immediately notify CCIC and Buyer of any transfer tax audit or similar matter.

7. Modification of Section 6.3(a). The recitals and Section 6.3(a) of the Agreement shall be deemed to be modified to reflect that Buyer is a wholly- owned subsidiary of CCIC, and not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crown Communication Inc.

8. Acceptance of Revised Schedules. Pursuant to Section 4.1(b) of the Agreement, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Schedules attached hereto as Exhibit D either (i) replace in their entirety the like Schedules which were attached to the Agreement, and include modifications to such Schedules made by Powertel and Sellers pursuant to Section 4.1(b) of the Agreement or (ii) satisfy the delivery requirements of Section 6.2 of the Agreement.

9. Swap Lease Agreements. The parties acknowledge and agree that Powertel and Sellers shall not be required to make any payments to Buyer or CCIC pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Agreement.

10. Certain Apportionments. Section 2.7 of the Agreement provides for the apportionment of certain amounts between Powertel and the Sellers, on the one hand, and CCIC and Buyer, on the other hand. The parties have agreed to make such apportionments as of June 1, 1999, instead of making such apportionments as of the Closing Date, as contemplated by the Agreement. The parties acknowledge that as of June 1, 1999, Powertel has paid rents under the Site Leases for the month of June on behalf of Buyer, subject to reimbursement under Section 2.7 of the Agreement. The

4

parties also acknowledge that to the extent Powertel shall continue to receive rent payments from third party tenants under Tower Leases relating to such periods after June 1, 1999, Powertel shall remit such payments to CCIC within ten (10) business days of receipt. Other post-closing apportionments will be made in accordance with Section 2.7 of the Agreement. On June 2, 1999, Powertel or its affiliates shall pay the rents due under the Master Lease for each of the Tower Sites subject to Site Lease Acknowledgments thereunder.

11. Press Releases and Public Announcements. Press releases, public announcements or disclosures made by or on behalf of any party to this Closing Memorandum relating to the Agreement or the transaction contemplated thereby, other than filings made pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, must be coordinated with and consented to by Powertel, in the case of a press release, public announcement or disclosure to be made by or on behalf of CCIC or Buyer, or by CCIC, in the case of a press release, public announcement or disclosure to be made by or on behalf of Powertel or Sellers.

Transition Sites that are rejected pursuant to a Rejection Notice under the Purchase Agreement shall


Powertel, Inc., et al
June 2, 1999

Page 6

not be counted toward, and shall not reduce, the number of Proposals that Powertel and the Sellers are required to provide under the Build-to-Suit Agreement.

b. Each Transition Site which has not been rejected pursuant to a Rejection Notice under the Purchase Agreement and is not a Purchase Site upon the Closing Date (as defined in paragraph 4(f) below), including Transition Sites that are subject to Elective Exclusion Notices, shall be the subject of a Proposal. Other future sites identified by Powertel, the Sellers or the Powertel Affiliates shall also be the subject of Proposals from time to time as set forth in paragraph 3(f) below. Each site which is the subject of a Proposal that is accepted by CCIC shall become a Build-to- Suit Site and shall be subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Build-to-Suit Agreement.

c. All site acquisition work, including zoning and permitting, and all tower structure installation work in connection with each Build-to-Suit Site will be completed by or on behalf of CCIC or its affiliate at CCIC's sole cost, and on a turnkey basis; provided, however, that in the event any such services have already been performed by or on behalf of Powertel or have already been committed to be performed by or on behalf of Powertel at the time the Proposal is accepted by CCIC, Powertel shall be reimbursed by CCIC for the direct costs it has incurred or has committed to incur in performing such services, provided Powertel actually pays for such services. Each Proposal submitted by Powertel shall include information regarding costs previously incurred, contracted for and budgeted in connection with the site in question, plus information concerning the current status of site acquisition, zoning, permitting and construction completion.

d. Notwithstanding paragraph 3(c) above, the parties agree that, while CCIC or its designated affiliate is responsible for site acquisition, zoning and permitting with respect to the Build-to-Suit Sites, any personnel involved in such process shall report to and be under the supervision of a Powertel manager for the duration of such process. The Powertel manager shall be a non-reimbursable expense of Powertel.

e. In the event that CCIC or its designated affiliate fails to meet the construction deadlines as set forth in the Build-to-Suit Agreement, the parties agree that Powertel shall be entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of $250 per day for a maximum of 60 days. After such 60 days, in the event that construction is still incomplete, Powertel shall have the right to complete the construction of the Site and CCIC and its designated affiliate shall be responsible for all of Powertel's costs of construction incurred as a result of such delay. The parties acknowledge that they have generally agreed that the amount of time necessary for construction of a tower site (including the services described in the Antenna Installation Specifications) is no more


Powertel, Inc., et al
June 2, 1999

Page 7

than seven (7) weeks from the time of issuance of a building permit, exclusive of delays resulting from force majeure events.

f. Under the terms of the Build-to-Suit Agreement, CCIC or its designated affiliate shall be the exclusive tower company which Powertel, the Sellers or the Powertel Affiliates contracts with to provide turnkey build-to-suit services (including site acquisition, zoning, permitting and construction) for their greenfield tower site build needs; provided, however, Powertel, Sellers and the Powertel Affiliates may contract with other tower companies in connection with Proposals which are rejected by
CCIC. If CCIC and Buyer fulfill their obligations under the Purchase Agreement, all greenfield tower site build needs of Powertel, the Sellers and the Powertel Affiliates for greenfield tower sites shall be the subject of Proposals until the earlier of such time as: (i) CCIC or its designated affiliate have accepted forty (40) Proposals; or (ii) December 31,2000; provided, however, that if CCIC or its designated affiliate accept forty
(40) Proposals prior to December 31, 2000, Powertel's greenfield tower building needs which relate to tower structures that will not be owned by Powertel, the Sellers or Powertel Affiliates shall continue to be subject to Proposals until December 31, 2000. CCIC or its designated affiliate may accept or reject Proposals which are submitted, it being the understanding and agreement of the parties that CCIC or its designated affiliate shall have a right of first refusal with respect to each Proposal during the time periods and upon the terms and other conditions set forth in this letter agreement. The parties acknowledge that nothing herein or in the Build-to- Suit Agreement shall limit in any way Powertel's ability during the time period covered by the Build-to-Suit Agreement or otherwise to (i) co-locate on another tower company's existing tower, or (ii) co-locate on another tower company's proposed tower for which a building permit has already been issued provided that Powertel is not the first tenant to execute a lease in connection with such co-location.

g. Upon completion of a tower structure installation at a Build-to- Suit Site, the Buyer and the applicable Powertel Affiliate shall execute a Site Lease Acknowledgment which shall designate the commencement date and otherwise be subject to the terms and provisions of the Master Lease, except that the monthly rental rate for such Site Leases shall be $1,500 per month; the form and substance of each such Site Lease Acknowledgment shall otherwise be the same as contained in the Site Lease Acknowledgments executed by the Sellers and the Powertel Affiliates in connection with each Master Lease which has been assigned to the Buyer in connection with the Closing of the Agreement.

h. If Powertel together with the Sellers and the Powertel Affiliates fail to provide CCIC or its designated affiliate with at least forty (40) Proposals prior to


Powertel, Inc., et al
June 2, 1999

Page 8

December 31, 2000, Powertel, Sellers and the Powertel Affiliates may, at their option and as CCIC's and its designated affiliate's sole and exclusive remedy: (i) elect to pay to CCIC or its designated affiliate as a cancellation fee in cash the amount of $50,000 multiplied by the difference between forty (40) and the number of sites that were actually subject to Proposals prior to December 31, 2000; or (ii) extend the period of time during which all of Powertel's greenfield tower building needs shall continue to be subject to Proposals until March 31, 2001, and thereafter, if necessary, for up to three (3) additional successive thirty (30) day periods, until such time as CCIC or its designated affiliate have been provided with not less than forty (40) Proposals; provided, however, that if such period of time is extended pursuant to this subparagraph (ii), Powertel shall retain the right to terminate such extension period at any time upon payment of the cancellation fee that would then be due under subparagraph (i) above. In the event that Powertel exhausts its extension rights as set forth above without providing CCIC or its designated affiliate with at least forty (40) Proposals, Powertel shall be required to pay the cancellation fee in the amount that would then be due under subparagraph (i) above.

i. Each Build-to-Suit Site shall be owned by the Buyer.

4. Purchase Agreement. Subject to the matters set out in this letter agreement, Powertel and the Sellers will sell, and the Buyer will purchase, the Purchase Sites. The parties agree to negotiate the form of and execute the Purchase Agreement upon the terms and conditions set out herein and the other terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement will contain representations, warranties, indemnification provisions and covenants which are substantially similar to those set forth in the Agreement, except as otherwise modified herein. The Purchase Agreement shall include provisions covering the following matters:

a. Subject to the provisions of this letter agreement, CCIC and Buyer will be required to purchase thirty-one (31) sites pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, provided that under no circumstance will CCIC or Buyer be required to purchase any Defective Sites or any Site (regardless of whether such Site is subject to an Acceptance Notice) if the construction with respect to such Site is not completed by December 2, 1999.

b. The purchase price for each Purchase Site shall be $423,077. Each Purchase Site shall be transferred, assigned and conveyed to the Buyer in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, including the documentation and title warranty described therein.

c. On or before July 15, 1999, Powertel and the Sellers shall deliver a list of a minimum of thirty-one (31) sites that they propose to sell and Due Diligence Materials


Powertel, Inc., et al
June 2, 1999

Page 9

related to such sites to CCIC and Buyer (the "Offer Notice"). With respect to each such site, the rent payable under the ground lease at such site shall not exceed the fair market rental for comparable tower sites in the relevant market area, the leases with respect to such sites shall not by their terms prohibit or require consents for subleasing or assignment, and there shall be no revenue sharing arrangements with respect to such site (collectively, the "Minimum Requirements"). On or prior to August 15, 1999, CCIC and Buyer shall deliver to Powertel and the Sellers with regard to each such site (i) an Acceptance Notice, (ii) a Defect Notice, or (iii) an Elective Exclusion Notice. CCIC and Buyer shall not be required to issue Acceptance Notices with respect to more than thirty-one (31) Sites. CCIC and Buyer will only be allowed to issue Defect Notices if the Defects referenced in such Defect Notices are consistent with the type and severity of Defects described under the Agreement or if such site does not meet the Minimum Requirements. In the event that fair rental value under a ground lease becomes the subject of a dispute between the parties, Powertel and Sellers shall have the option of seeking an appraisal or increasing the rent under the applicable Site Lease to cover any excess in fair rental value. CCIC and Buyer may issue Elective Exclusion Notices for any reason or no reason whatsoever with respect to a total of no more than five (5) sites. Each Site that is subject to a Rejection Notice will not be subject to the Build-to-Suit Agreement, and will not count as a site for which a Proposal has been made to CCIC and Buyer under the Build-to-Suit Agreement, provided that Powertel and Sellers shall have the right to substitute other sites in lieu of such sites under the Purchase Agreement, and to make such substituted sites subject to the Offer Notice.

d. Following receipt of a Defect Notice from CCIC or Buyer with respect to a site, Powertel and Sellers shall deliver to CCIC and Buyer a Cure Notice or a notice that Powertel and Sellers have elected to treat such site as a Rejected Site and to substitute another site for such site pursuant to paragraph 4(e) below. Within ten (10) days of receipt of a Cure Notice, CCIC and Buyer shall provide to Powertel and Sellers an Acceptance Notice or a notice that, in their good faith judgment, the cure specified in the Cure Notice has not adequately remedied the Defect (a "Notice of Inadequate Cure"); provided, however, that CCIC and Buyer shall not be entitled to object to a cure, and shall be required to accept the Cure Notice offered with respect to such site and shall not issue a Notice of Inadequate Cure, if such Cure Notice provides the curative action specified by the Defect Notice or if such Cure Notice includes the provisions contemplated by clause (ii) set forth in the definition of "Cure Notice" in this letter agreement. In the event CCIC or Buyer issues a Notice of Inadequate Cure, Powertel and Sellers shall have the right to continue to propose cures and issue Cure Notices with respect to such Site, or to substitute a site therefor pursuant to paragraph 4(e) below.


Powertel, Inc., et al
June 2, 1999

Page 10

e. If Powertel or Sellers (i) issue a Rejection Notice; (ii) receive a Notice of Inadequate Cure; (iii) determine in their judgment that they will not receive the necessary Governmental Approvals to allow them to complete construction of a site for which an Acceptance Notice has been issued, or that such a site will otherwise will not be completed by the Closing Date; or (iv) determine that they will be unable to give the representations and warranties that they will be required to give at the Closing Date with respect to such site, Powertel and Sellers shall have the right from time to time to present additional sites to CCIC and Buyer for their approval as Purchase Sites, and each such additional site shall be subject to the Offer Notice. Only Transition Sites or Existing Sites may be substituted for, or offered as additional sites under, this Letter Agreement. Once such a site is presented to CCIC and Buyer for review, CCIC and Buyer must then issue an Acceptance Notice, a Defect Notice or an Elective Exclusion Notice with respect to such site in accordance with the terms of this letter agreement.

f. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchase Sites shall occur on December 2, 1999 or any other date upon which all parties may agree in writing (the "Closing Date"), at a mutually agreeable time, at the offices of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, L.L.P. in Atlanta, Georgia.

g. At the closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchase Sites, the Buyer and the applicable Powertel Affiliate shall execute a Site Lease Acknowledgment which will set forth the commencement date and otherwise be subject to the terms and provisions of the Master Lease; the form and substance of each such Site Lease Acknowledgment shall be the same as contained in the Site Lease Acknowledgments executed by the Sellers and the Powertel Affiliates in connection with each Master Lease which has been assigned to the Buyer in connection with the Closing of the Agreement.

5. Termination. This letter agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the execution of a mutually agreed upon Purchase Agreement and Build-to- Suit Agreement by and between the parties or (ii) June 30, 1999.

6. Notices. All notices, consents or other communications required or permitted to be given in connection with this letter agreement shall be given in the manner provided in the Agreement.

CONVEYANCE AND CONSIDERATION

3.1 Conveyance. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Transferring Entity agrees to grant, convey and deliver to TowerCo, and TowerCo agrees to take and accept from such Transferring Entity, at the Closings, a leasehold, subleasehold interest, or other interest consistent with the terms of the Sublease, as applicable, in and to the Subleased Property and Leased Property of all of the Existing Sites and BTS Sites which the applicable Transferring Entity is not legally precluded from leasing or subleasing to TowerCo, as more particularly described in the Subleases and applicable Site Designation Supplements (collectively, the "Transferred Interests").

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.1(a), the Transferred Interests shall not include, without limitation, any of the following: (i) under the BMI Sublease, the Reserved Space of the Included Sites; (ii) under the BMI Sublease, BMI's or its Affiliate's Improvements on the Included Sites; (iii) any equipment or transmissions systems used for the remote monitoring of the Included Sites; (iv) any and all rights that accrue or will accrue to BMI, BST or any other Transferring Entity under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the Consideration; (v) any and all rights retained by and/or granted to BMI, BST or any other Transferring Entity pursuant to the Transaction Documents; and (vi) the Excluded Sites.

3.2 Consideration. (a) Subject to the prorations and adjustments set forth in this Article 3, the aggregate consideration for the Transferred Interests (the "Consideration"), based on 1850 Existing Sites, shall be equal to the sum of (i) $430,000,000 in cash, subject to increase as provided in Section
3.2(b) (the "Initial Cash Consideration"), plus (ii) that aggregate number of

unregistered shares of CCIC Common Stock, $.01 par value per share ("Parent Stock"), equal to (A) $180,000,000, subject to decrease as provided in Section 3.2(b), divided by (B) the Initial Share Price (the "Initial Stock Consideration").

(b) CCIC will have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to increase the Initial Cash Consideration to up to $460,000,000 and decrease the Initial Stock Consideration to not less than $150,000,000 provided that the aggregate consideration must be not less than $610,000,000. CCIC must exercise the option prior to the Initial Closing, and the Stock Percentage and Cash Percentage shall be adjusted based on such exercise.

(c) The Consideration shall be due and payable, at each Closing, as follows:

(i) at the Initial Closing, TowerCo shall pay $3,500,000 in cash to BST and $6,500,000 in cash to BMI;

(ii) TowerCo shall pay the applicable Transferring Entity (A) the Cash Percentage of $324,324.32 in cash and the Stock Percentage of such

11

amount in Parent Stock, in each case multiplied by (B) the number of the Included Sites being conveyed at such Closing, subject in the case of BST, to Section 3.2(f);

(iii) the cash portion of each payment under Section 3.2 or 3.4 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds through the Federal Reserve System to an account designated in writing by BMI; and

(iv) CCIC, TowerCo and each Transferring Entity other than BMI acknowledge and agree that BMI will have the right to allocate the Stock Consideration and Cash Allocation in its sole discretion among and between Transferring Entities, but in no event shall such allocation change the Cash Percentage or the Stock Percentage.

(d) No fractional shares shall be issued as Stock Consideration, and an amount in cash (if any) shall be paid in lieu of any fractional part of a share otherwise resulting from the terms of this Section 3.2 equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by the Initial Share Price.

(e) Whenever in this Agreement any Stock Consideration is to be issued to any Transferring Entity other than BMI, such Stock Consideration at the election of BMI, may be evidenced by a certificate issued to BMI (or other BMI Affiliates designated by BMI in writing from time to time prior to the applicable Closing) for the benefit of such Transferring Entity, which certificate may at BMI's option also evidence Stock Consideration issued to BMI and/or any other Transferring Entities.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of Consideration payable to BST in respect of any BST Site listed in Schedule 3.2(f) (the "Sprint Constructed Sites") at the BST Closing or any other Closing in which a BST Site is included shall be reduced by the respective amount set forth in the column labeled "Total Rebate" minus the amount in the column labeled "Total Rebate SLAM Date to 6/30/99" opposite the applicable Sprint Constructed Site in Schedule 3.2(f) assuming a July 1, 1999 closing.

3.3 Maintained Sites. Subject to the right of a Transferring Entity to defer the Closing of a Site until a later Closing under Section 4.6, if at any Closing a Transferring Entity is unable to deliver to TowerCo the Transferred Interest with respect to any Site as a result of such Transferring Entity's failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 11.5, TowerCo does not waive that condition, and such Site does not become a leased or a subleased Site pursuant to the applicable Sublease on or prior to the Final Closing, then for purposes of this Agreement, such Site shall at the Transferring Entity's option, to be exercised by such Transferring Entity's written notice to TowerCo on or prior to the applicable Closing, either (i) become an Excluded Site or (ii) become subject to the Site Maintenance Agreement in which case such Site shall become a Maintained Site under the Site Maintenance Agreement pursuant to the execution by the applicable Transferring Entity and TowerCo of one or more Addenda to the Site Maintenance Agreement; provided, however, that, if as of the applicable Closing the only unsatisfied and unwaived condition is the absence of any required consent of the Ground Lessor, such Site shall be deferred until such a consent is received; provided, further, that, if as

12

of the Final Closing the parties have not obtained such consent, such Site shall be a Maintained Site or an Excluded Site, at the Transferring Entity's option as provided herein. For purposes of determining the Consideration pursuant to
Section 3.2, Sites that become Maintained Sites pursuant to this Section 3.3 or Excluded Sites pursuant to Section 4.6, 5.3 or 5.4 shall not constitute an Included Site. In no event shall the number of Sites made subject to the Site Maintenance Agreement at all Closings exceed 300 Sites in the aggregate, unless TowerCo otherwise consents. Any Sites that do not become Included Sites or Maintained Sites pursuant to the foregoing, shall constitute Excluded Sites.

3.4 Increase in Consideration. (a) If the number of any Included Sites is greater than 1,850 but equal to or less than 2,100, TowerCo shall pay the applicable Transferring Entity as Additional Consideration, Cash Consideration in an amount equal to (i) $324,324.32 multiplied by (ii) the amount by which the number of the Included Sites exceeds 1,850. Such additional Cash Consideration shall be paid in cash on the applicable Closing Date.

(b) If the number of Included Sites is greater than 2,100, TowerCo shall pay to the applicable Transferring Entity, as Additional Consideration, Stock Consideration (valued at the Initial Share Price) in an amount equal to
(i) $324,324.31 multiplied by (ii) the amount by which the number of Included Sites exceeds 2,100. Such additional Stock Consideration shall be delivered on the applicable Closing Date.

3.5 Proration. (a) At each Closing, the following items shall be apportioned between the Transferring Entity and TowerCo: (i) federal, state, local or foreign Taxes (other than income taxes) payable with respect to the Transferred Interests of Included Sites; and (ii) the other items set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto. Such apportionments shall be made pro rata on a per diem basis as of each Closing Date so that all such Taxes and other payments attributable to the period prior to such Closing Date shall be for the account of the Transferring Entity, and all such Taxes and other payments attributable to the period from and after such Closing Date shall be for the account of TowerCo. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all up- front, bolt-on or attachment fees or payments and escrow amounts related to Existing Leases paid prior to the applicable Closing shall remain with the applicable Transferring Entity.

(b) In the event that the amount of any item to be prorated is not determinable at the time of each Closing, such proration shall be made on the basis of the best available information, and the applicable Transferring Entity and TowerCo shall re-prorate such item promptly upon receipt of the applicable bills therefor and shall make between themselves any equitable adjustment required by reason of any difference between the estimated amount used as a basis for the proration at each Closing and the actual amount subject to proration. In the event any prorated item is due and payable at the time of a Closing, the same shall be paid at such Closing. If any prorated item is not paid at a Closing, and either party has identified that item at Closing as a properly prorated item, the applicable Transferring Entity shall deliver to TowerCo the bills therefor promptly upon receipt thereof and TowerCo shall be responsible for the payment of TowerCo's pro rata share in full thereof within the time fixed for payment thereof and before the same becomes delinquent, provided that TowerCo's obligation to make such payment before it has become delinquent is subject to TowerCo's having received the bill therefor in a sufficiently

13

timely manner. In no event shall TowerCo be responsible for any prorated item about which TowerCo receives notice more than eighteen (18) months following the applicable Closing.

(c) If the Share Price determined as of the first anniversary of the Final Closing (the "Subsequent Share Price") is less than the Initial Share Price, then CCIC shall immediately thereafter, at CCIC's option, either: (x) pay the Transferring Entities cash in an amount (the "Make-up Amount") equal to
(i) (a) the difference between the Initial Share Price and the Subsequent Share Price multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Parent Stock issued pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph minus (ii) the gross proceeds to any Transferring Entity from all sales of such Parent Stock prior to the first anniversary of the Final Closing; or (y) issue to BMI and BST that number of shares of Parent Stock equal to the Make-up Amount divided by the Subsequent Share Price; in each case not to exceed $50 million in cash or $75 million in Parent Stock. If CCIC elects to so issue Parent Stock, any such Parent Stock shall be subject to the Registration Rights Agreement.

3.6 Existing Louisiana Sites. On or prior to the Closing for the Louisiana market, BMI shall cause the Existing Louisiana Sites to become subject to the BMI Sublease, pursuant to the execution by the applicable parties of a Site Designation Supplement for each such Existing Louisiana Site, without payment by TowerCo of any consideration to BMI or any obligation of any BMI Affiliate to pay CCIC, TowerCo or any Affiliate of CCIC (or any Person claiming by or through any such Affiliate) of any consideration or any cost, fee, expense or other amount.

3.7 Consents Under Ground Leases.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Ground Lessor with respect to any particular Site refuses to give its consent to BMI's or BST's subleasing of such Site to TowerCo and TowerCo's subsequent subleasing of portions of such Site to third parties (each, a "Ground Lessor Consent"), all pursuant to the applicable Sublease, then BMI or BST may, in its sole discretion, offer to such Ground Lessor, as an inducement to give such consent, an increase in the Ground Rent. If the proposed increase of the Ground Rent as to any Site is equal to or less than 25% of the then current Ground Rent (which then current Ground Rent is based on all then recurring monthly payments, it being understood that after the Ground Rent is increased, all future adjustments in the nature of annual or other recurring increases and/or existing revenue sharing arrangements shall apply to such increased Ground Rent) and such offer is accepted by the applicable Ground Lessor, then BMI or BST, as applicable, shall give CCIC written notice of such increase promptly thereafter and CCIC shall accept such Site and such Site shall become subject to the applicable Sublease. If the applicable Ground Lessor will agree to grant its consent to BMI's or BST's sublease of the Site to TowerCo and TowerCo's subsequent sublease of portions of the Site to third parties only if BMI or BST, as applicable, is willing to increase the Ground Rent under the applicable Ground Lease by more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the then current Ground Rent (which then current Ground Rent is based on all then recurring monthly payments, it being understood that after the Ground Rent is increased, all future adjustments in the nature of annual or other recurring increases and/or existing revenue sharing arrangements shall apply to such increased Ground Rent), then TowerCo will have (i) the right to participate in any subsequent discussions with the applicable Ground Lessor regarding the

14

obtaining of its consent and (ii) an option, exercisable within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from BMI or BST as applicable, to cause such Site not to become subject to the applicable Sublease, in which event such Site shall constitute a Maintained Site.

(b) If the parties are unable to obtain any Ground Lessor Consent by the applicable Closing, the parties shall continue using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Ground Lessor Consent in accordance with Section 3.7(a); provided, that if the parties subsequently obtain such Ground Lessor Consent as to any Site, the Closing for such Site shall take place at the Closing next succeeding the date on which such Ground Lessor Consent is obtained, or, if the Final Closing has occurred, within six (6) months after the Final Closing at a time agreed by the parties; provided further, no Closings for such Sites shall occur after the expiration of such six (6) month period, unless the parties otherwise agree.

(c) In pursuing any Ground Lessor Consent for any Site pursuant to
Section 3.7(a), BMI may not offer to the Ground Lessor any right to share in revenues received by TowerCo from such Site unless the maximum amount of shared revenues would not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the then-current Ground Rent for such Site.

(a) At each Closing, and from time to time thereafter, each Transferring Entity shall do all such additional and further acts, and shall execute and deliver all such additional and further instruments, certificates and documents, as TowerCo may reasonably require fully to vest in and assure to TowerCo full right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Interests to the full extent contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto will cooperate with the others and execute and deliver to the other parties such other instruments and documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any other party as necessary to carry out, evidence and confirm the intended purposes of this Agreement.

(b) If in the review of any Site Designation Supplement either party identifies any corrections that in either party's judgment necessitate further revisions to Exhibit B, C or D to such Site Designation Supplement, the parties may at either party's request effect the correction by SE Technologies of such Exhibit B, C or D, and defer the recordation of such Site Designation Supplement until such revisions are made, for up to thirty (30) days.

17

(c) In addition, with respect to the Included Sites, the parties shall have the right to review and make corrections, if necessary, to any and all exhibits to the Site Designation Supplements applicable to such Included Sites after the applicable Closing. After making any such corrections, TowerCo shall re-record any such Site Designation Supplements to reflect such corrections, if requested by the applicable Transferring Entity.

(d) If after any Closing any party discovers that the name of the Transferring Entity as set forth in any Site Designation Supplement is incorrect, the applicable Transferring Entity shall re-execute such Site Designation Supplement in such a manner as to correct such name, and TowerCo shall re-record such Site Designation Supplement, unless the parties agree that such re-recordation is not necessary. The foregoing obligation shall survive the Closing in respect of which such Site Designation Supplement was executed for a period of six (6) months.

(e) The Transferring Entity shall have the right, at its sole expense, to cause any amendment to the Site Designation Supplement to be recorded. In addition, the parties shall cooperate with each other to cause changes to be made in the documentation for any Site, and in the Site Designation Supplement for such Site, if such changes are requested by the Transferring Entity to evidence any permitted changes in the Reserved Space or Transferred Interest respecting such Site, including without limitation changes in such Transferring Entity's antennas or other parts of its Communications Facility at such Site. Such obligation shall survive any Closing without limitation.

4.5 Field Inspection. Prior to the applicable Closing Date, CCIC shall, or shall cause SE Technologies or another agent satisfactory to CCIC and BMI, as to the Initial BMI Professional Services Agreement or BST as to the BST Professional Services Agreement to conduct, pursuant to the SET Agreement or another agreement on substantially the same terms and conditions, or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to BMI and BST and to which BMI or BST is a party or an intended third party beneficiary (each, an "Inspection Services Agreement"), collect the data relating to the Existing Sites, adequately describe such Existing Sites and prepare Exhibits B, C and D for all Site Designation Supplements relating to such Existing Sites, all in accordance with the terms thereof. CCIC shall be responsible for the timely performance by such agent of such field inspection and shall pay all the fees and expenses of such agent. BMI and BST shall cooperate with CCIC to coordinate such field inspection. CCIC shall, or shall cause such agent to, make such changes in its documentation as may be requested by the applicable Transferring Entity to effect any correction, whether before or after the applicable Closing. Such obligation shall survive the applicable Closing until six (6) months after the Final Closing. The Inspection Services Agreement will provide, among other things, that any time, as provided therein, BMI or BST as applicable, may (i) make corrections to Exhibits B, C and D to the Site Designation Supplements after the applicable Closing Date, as provided therein and (ii) if such agent does not perform in accordance with the requirements of the Inspection Services Agreement, exercise sole authority over the agent, whereupon the agent will follow BMI's or BST's, as applicable, directions and not CCIC's directions; provided, that BMI and BST under the respective Inspection Service Agreement thereafter will be responsible for the payment of the fees and expenses of such agent incurred in connection with such agent's compliance with BMI's or BST's, as applicable directions. The parties agree that, as between the parties, the description of Existing Sites shall be

18

sufficient to adequately describe the Transferred Interests, and agree to cause such agent to make changes and corrections requested by a party consistent with that objective.

4.6 Deferral of Closings; Updating of Representations. (a) Each Transferring Entity will have the right to defer the Closing as to any Site to a later Closing by virtue of (i) the failure of such Site to satisfy any condition to the obligations of CCIC or TowerCo respecting such Site (including without limitation the failure to obtain any Ground Lessor Consent, as contemplated by
Section 3.7) or (ii) the breach by the applicable Transferring Entity of any Real Estate Representation as to such Site. If, by the Final Closing, the applicable Transferring Entity fails, after the exercise of reasonable efforts, to cause any such unsatisfied (and unwaived) condition to be satisfied or to cure any such (unwaived) breach of a Real Estate Representation, such Site shall constitute an Excluded Site or Maintained Site pursuant to and as provided in
Section 3.3. CCIC shall notify BMI or BST prior to the applicable Closing of any Site that it believes does not satisfy any condition in this Agreement to its obligations to acquire the Transferred Interest in such Site, including without limitation by virtue of a breach of a Real Estate Representation as to such Site. The applicable Transferring Entity will have the right to cure any such breach of a representation, warranty or covenant and/or remedy such condition, and defer the Closing of such Site to facilitate such cure, as provided above.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable prior to the date scheduled for any Closing in the Closing Schedule, the applicable Transferring Entity shall disclose in writing any material information, known to such Transferring Entity without additional inquiry, that is required to (x) be provided pursuant to any representation or warranty made by a Transferring Entity pursuant to Article 6 or (y) cause any Real Estate Representation with respect to any Existing Site to be true and correct in all material respects and would modify, amend or supplement such Real Estate Representation, including without limitation: (i) to set forth exceptions to any such representations and warranties, where such exceptions were not theretofore set forth in this Agreement or any Schedule hereto, or (ii) to reflect any lease, sublease or license that becomes an Existing Lease entered into after the date of this Agreement in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and matters related thereto. The applicable Transferring Entity shall provide any such disclosure that relates to such Transferring Entity and does not constitute a Real Estate Representation prior to the first Closing in which any Sites of such Transferring Entity is included. Any such disclosure shall be deemed to create and constitute a portion of, and all such disclosures together shall be, the "Disclosure Schedule". Any Existing Site in respect of which the applicable Transferring Entity makes any disclosure pursuant to this Section 4.6(b) may, at CCIC's option, be deferred to a later Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.6(a), where the matters so described would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Existing Site. The sole remedy of CCIC and TowerCo in respect of any such disclosure as to any Site shall be to cause such Site to be a Maintained Site pursuant to Section 3.3 or, at the

19

applicable Transferring Entity's option pursuant to Section 4.6, to be an Excluded Site hereunder or to defer the Closing for such Site to a later Closing Date.

4.7 Re-Recordation. Whenever in this Agreement either party is required or has the right to record or re-record any document, including without limitation any Site Designation Supplement, Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof, TowerCo shall, or shall cause the agent effecting such recordation to, deliver a copy of the document to the other party promptly after receipt thereof, and in any event contemporaneously with its first delivery thereof to the recording party.

4.8 Title Searches. For each Closing following the Initial Closing, TowerCo shall cause (i) a national title insurance company with licensed agents in each part of the Territory to cause a full title search to be undertaken as to each Site in such part of the Territory and (ii) to deliver copies of such title search to BMI not less than ten (10) days prior to the date scheduled for such Closing in the Closing Schedule, and in any event contemporaneously with the delivery of such searches to any Crown Affiliate or agent of any Crown Affiliate. Each Transferring Entity whose Sites are covered by the foregoing obligation shall provide access to any documents reasonably available to it, to the extent necessary to facilitate such title search.

Without the prior written consent of the other parties, no party hereto may take any intentional action that would cause the conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties hereto to effect the transactions contemplated hereby not to be fulfilled, including, without limitation, taking or causing to be taken any action that would cause the representations and warranties made by such party herein not to be true, correct and complete as of each Closing.

5.10 Governmental Filings. (a) The parties shall make, or cause to be made, all filings and submissions required to be made to any Government in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided however that the parties acknowledge and agree that no filings or submissions are required under the Hard-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act").

22

(b) Each party hereto agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and to obtain all consents, orders and approvals that may be or become necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and each party shall furnish to the other parties such necessary information and reasonable assistance as other parties may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of necessary filings or submissions to any governmental or other regulatory agency in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, orders and approvals.

5.11 Confidentiality. (a) The parties acknowledge and agree that in the course of their discussions and negotiations of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated herein, a party hereto (the "Disclosing Party") may already have disclosed or may hereafter disclose Confidential Information (as defined below) to one or more of the other parties hereto (each, a "Disclosee"). Each party agrees that if the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated, it will return to the Disclosing Party all documents and other written information furnished to it. Each party further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any and all Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party and not disclose or give any Confidential Information to any Person or use such Confidential Information, provided, however, that the foregoing obligations will not apply to: (i) any information which was lawfully known by the Disclosee free of any obligation of confidentiality to any Person prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (ii) any information which was in the public domain prior to the disclosure thereof; (iii) any information which comes into the public domain through no fault of the Disclosee; (iv) any information which is disclosed to the Disclosee by a third party, other than an Affiliate, having the legal right to make such disclosure; (v) any information which is required to be disclosed by Order of any Forum or as required by Law, or (vi) TowerCo's disclosure of Confidential Information to third parties if reasonably related to TowerCo's Permitted Use of the Sites as contemplated in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party agrees that, when acting as a Disclosee, it will (a) restrict the disclosure of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those employees of Disclosee who require such information for the purposes contemplated hereunder, (b) notify all of its employees to whom Confidential Information of the Disclosing party is disclosed not to use or disclose such Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement, (c) prevent use or disclosure by its employees of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except as provided herein, and (d) promptly inform the Disclosing Party of any use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, whether intentional or not, which violates the provisions of this section and of which Disclosee has any knowledge.

(b) For purposes of this Section 5.11, "Confidential Information" means any and all technical, business, and other information which is (i) possessed or hereafter acquired by a Disclosing Party and (ii) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to Persons other than the Disclosing Party, including, without limitation, technical or nontechnical data, compositions, devices, methods, techniques, drawings, inventions, processes, financial data, financial plans, lists of actual or potential customers or suppliers, information regarding the business plans and operations of the Disclosing Party, and the existence of

23

discussions and negotiations between the parties hereto relating to the terms hereof; provided, however, it does not include confidential business information that does not constitute a trade secret under applicable law after the first
(1st) anniversary of the date hereof. The provisions of this Section 5.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement for any reason and shall remain in full force and effect from and after the Initial Closing Date so long as the Sublease and the Site Maintenance Agreement remain in full force and effect.

(c) Each of CCIC and TowerCo acknowledges and agrees that the databases respecting the Sites maintained on behalf of BMI are owned by BMI and constitute trade secrets of BMI. Any data from such databases that BMI provides to CCIC may be used by CCIC in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 5.11.

5.12 Real Estate Matters. (a) Prior to the applicable Closing, CCIC shall notify BMI and BST if the Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has not been recorded for any Site. TowerCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such recordation, at its sole cost and expense, except where prohibited by Law or the terms of the applicable Ground Lease. The applicable Transferring Entity shall execute documents reasonably requested by CCIC to effect such recordation, and shall cooperate with TowerCo in pursuing such recordation.

(b) If notwithstanding the foregoing efforts, TowerCo is unable to record any theretofore unrecorded Ground Lease or memorandum thereof in respect of any Site, then TowerCo shall nonetheless use reasonable efforts to cause the Site Designation Supplement for such Site to be duly recorded, including on the face of the applicable Site Designation Supplement a cross reference to the applicable deed and its recording information, submitting the Site Designation Supplement for recordation (which Site Designation Supplement shall include a copy of the applicable Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof), requesting that the clerk of the applicable jurisdiction cross-index the Site Designation Supplement to the grantor-grantee index and otherwise using reasonable efforts to effect such recordation; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.12 (including any failure of TowerCo to record any Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof or a Site Designation Supplement in the absence of such recordation) shall constitute a condition precedent to CCIC's or TowerCo's obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to such Site or otherwise release CCIC or TowerCo from the obligation to treat such Site as an Included Site at the applicable Closing.

(c) The applicable Transferring Entity and, after the applicable Closing, TowerCo shall each have the right to place, each at its sole cost and expense, accurate signage on each Site to put third parties on notice of its interest in such Site, subject to compliance with applicable Laws.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if TowerCo is unable to record any unrecorded Ground Lease or memorandum thereof in respect of any Site, record a Site Designation Supplement as aforesaid or otherwise to protect the applicable Transferring Entity's interest in such Site and at any time thereafter the applicable Transferring Entity loses its interest under the Ground Lease by virtue of a foreclosure of a prior Mortgage on

24

the fee interest of such Site, TowerCo will have no claim against BMI or the Transferring Entity in respect thereof, but if such Transferring Entity desires to locate another Tower in the same general area, TowerCo will have the right to build the Tower for such Transferring Entity pursuant to the Build to Suit Agreement, and such Tower shall become subject to the applicable Sublease. No such Tower will constitute a Qualifying Site, as defined in the Build to Suit Agreement.

(e) Following the applicable Closing, TowerCo and each Transferring Entity whose Sites were the subject of a Site Designation Supplement and whose Ground Lease or memorandum was not recorded, shall continue reasonable efforts to cause the Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof to be recorded. Such obligation shall expire on the first anniversary of the Final Closing. If any such Ground Lease or a memorandum is thereafter recorded in respect of any Site, the parties shall re-record the Site Designation Supplement for such Site.

(f) Each Site Designation Supplement shall be in recordable form. CCIC shall be responsible for effecting the recordation of all Site Designation Supplements, unless prohibited by Law or by the applicable Ground Lease, and CCIC shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Promptly after effecting such recordation, CCIC shall give the applicable Transferring Entity written confirmation of such recordation and copies of the recorded documents.

5.13 TowerCo's Employees. (a) The parties have agreed that the employees of BMI listed in Exhibit E are the employees whose services are desired in order for TowerCo to successfully comply with the obligations imposed on TowerCo by the Transaction Documents (the "Identified Employees"). Subject to this Section 5.13, except as set forth in Exhibit E, prior to the Initial Closing TowerCo shall offer employment to the Identified Employees. Once an offer is made, BMI shall not interfere with or dissuade any such Identified Employee from accepting such offer.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, CCIC shall have the right to interview any Identified Employee to determine if such Identified Employee possesses qualifications or experience necessary to perform the duties and obligations required for the applicable position. If CCIC determines, in good faith, that any Identified Employee lacks necessary qualifications or experience, then CCIC and TowerCo shall have the right not to offer employment to such Identified Employee.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no employee listed on Schedule 5.13(c) shall be an Identified Employee subject to the provision of this Section 5.13.

(d) If and to the extent permitted by applicable law without disqualification to CCIC's benefit plans, CCIC shall treat such employees for benefit plan purposes in the same manner as it treats its own similarly situated employees. CCIC shall use reasonable best efforts to offer salary to each such employee at a salary at least comparable to the salary he or she receives as of the Initial Closing, and shall offer any employee whose salary does not exceed 110% of the maximum salary associated with his or her CCIC pay grade, their current salary. If and to the

25

extent permitted by applicable law without disqualification to CCIC's benefit plans, CCIC shall give service credit to any such employee for his or her years of service with BMI for purposes of participation in benefit plans and determining benefit levels, including vacation.

5.14 Update of Information. At all times prior to the Final Closing, TowerCo and CCIC shall promptly provide BMI and BST, and BMI and BST, subject to
Section 4.6(b), shall promptly provide CCIC with written notification of any material fact, event, occurrence or other information of any kind whatsoever which affects, or may affect, the truthfulness, correctness or completeness of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any document, agreement, instrument, certificate or writing furnished to any party or its respective Affiliates pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, or which affects or may affect the continued truthfulness, correctness or completeness of any thereof through the date of the Final Closing. Each such written notification shall specifically identify all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements affected by the fact, event, occurrence or information that necessitated the giving of the notice; provided, that, except as set forth in Section 4.6(b), no such notification of any material fact, event, occurrence or other information shall be deemed to modify, amend or supplement any such representation, warranty, covenant and agreement.

5.15 CCIC's Guaranty. (a) CCIC unconditionally guarantees to BMI, BST and the other Transferring Entities the full and timely performance and observance of all of the terms, provisions, covenants and obligations of TowerCo under this Agreement and other Transaction Documents and any Affiliate of TowerCo under any Transaction Documents (the "Obligations"). CCIC agrees that if TowerCo or TowerCo's Affiliate defaults at any time in the performance of any of the Obligations, CCIC shall faithfully perform and fulfill all Obligations and shall pay to BMI all reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and other expenses, costs and disbursements incurred by BMI on account of any default by TowerCo or TowerCo's Affiliate and on account of the enforcement of this guaranty.

(b) If TowerCo or TowerCo's Affiliate defaults under this Agreement or any Transaction Documents, and BMI elects (on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Transferring Entities) to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.15, BMI shall promptly give CCIC reasonably detailed written notice thereof, which notice shall constitute an exercise of BMI's rights against CCIC pursuant to this Section 5.15. Following the receipt of such notice by CCIC, CCIC shall have the same period of time as is afforded to TowerCo or TowerCo's Affiliate under this Agreement or any Transaction Documents to cure such default, but no such cure period shall diminish the obligations of CCIC under this Section 5.15.

(c) This guaranty obligation of CCIC shall be enforceable by BMI in an Action against CCIC without the necessity of any Action by BMI of any kind or nature whatsoever against TowerCo or its Affiliate, without the necessity of any notice to CCIC of TowerCo's or its Affiliate's default or breach under this Agreement or any Transaction Documents, and without the necessity of any other notice or demand to CCIC to which CCIC might otherwise be entitled, all of which notices CCIC hereby expressly waive. CCIC hereby agrees that the validity of this

26

guaranty and the obligations of CCIC hereunder shall not be terminated, affected, diminished, or impaired by reason of the assertion or the failure to assert by BMI against TowerCo or its Affiliate any of the rights or remedies reserved to BMI pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Documents or any other remedy or right which BMI may have at law or in equity or otherwise.

(d) CCIC covenants and agrees that this guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty. The liability of CCIC hereunder shall not be affected, modified, or diminished by reason of any modification or termination of this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents or any modification or waiver of or change in any of the covenants and terms of this Agreement or any Transaction Documents by agreement of BMI and TowerCo or its Affiliate, or by any unilateral action of either BMI or TowerCo or its Affiliate, or by an extension of time that may be granted by BMI to TowerCo or its Affiliate or any indulgence of any kind granted to TowerCo or its Affiliate, or any dealings or transactions occurring between BMI and TowerCo or its Affiliate, including, without limitation, any adjustment, compromise, settlement, accord and satisfaction, or release, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership, or trusteeship affecting TowerCo or its Affiliate. CCIC does hereby expressly waive any suretyship defense it may have by virtue of any Law of any state or Government.

(e) All of BMI's' rights and remedies under this guaranty are intended to be distinct, separate, and cumulative and no such right and remedy herein is intended to be the exclusion of or a waiver of any other.

(f) CCIC hereby waives presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and notice of acceptance. CCIC further waives any right to require that an action be brought against TowerCo or its Affiliate or any other person or to require that resort be had by BMI to any security held by BMI. The provisions of this Section 5.15 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Indemnified Party is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, reasonably and necessarily incurred by the Indemnified Party in the defense of such Action.

(d) If an Order is rendered against the Indemnified Party in any Action covered by the indemnification hereunder, or any Lien in respect of such Order attaches to any of the assets of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately upon such entry or attachment pay any amount required by such Order in full or discharge such Lien unless, at the expense and request of the Indemnifying Party, an appeal is taken under which the execution of the Order or satisfaction of the Lien is stayed. If and when a final Order is rendered in any such Action, the Indemnifying Party shall forthwith pay any amount required by such Order or discharge such Lien before the Indemnified Party is compelled to do so.

12.6 Certain Limitations. (a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require any Transferring Entity to indemnify any TowerCo Indemnitee for or in respect of any of the Real Estate Representations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the sole remedies of TowerCo or CCIC in respect of a breach of any Real Estate Representation by any Transferring Entity shall be to cause (i) such Transferring Entity to continue to use reasonable efforts to cure such breach, as contemplated by Section 4.6, until the Final Closing Date, or (ii) the Site as to which such Real Estate Representation is breached to be a Maintained Site (or, at the applicable Transferring Entity's election, an Excluded Site) or to defer the Closing of such Site to a later Closing Date, provided that the failure of any such deferred Site to become an Included Site or Maintained Site on or prior to the Final Closing shall not constitute a default under this Agreement or give CCIC or TowerCo any remedy.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Transferring Entity shall have any obligation under this Section 12 to TowerCo Indemnitees with respect to the breach of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements by BMI, unless, until and only to the extent that the aggregate of all TowerCo Indemnified Losses from all such breaches exceeds on a cumulative basis $10,000,000 (the "Deductible Amount"), and then only to the extent of such excess amount.

(c) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall any Transferring Entity be liable under this Agreement for any indemnification obligation pursuant to this Section 12 in excess of the aggregate amount of the Cash Consideration having been paid to such Transferring Entity as of the date on which the claim for indemnification arose (the "Maximum Indemnification").

12.7 Limitation on Liability. In no event shall any party hereto or its respective Affiliates be liable to the other parties for any special, incidental or consequential damages suffered or incurred by such other parties to this Agreement or any third parties and caused by or arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

44

12.8 Survival. The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive any investigation before or after the date of this Agreement made by the other parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect for the periods specified below ("Survival Period"):

(a) no representations and warranties of a Transferring Entity relating to real estate matters, including without limitation Sections 3.7 and 6.6 through 6.13, shall survive the Closing; and

(b) all other representations and warranties in this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect after the first anniversary of the date hereof.

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Survival Period shall be extended automatically to include any time period necessary to resolve a claim for indemnification which was made before expiration of the Survival Period, but not resolved prior to its expiration, and any such extension shall apply only as to the claims asserted and not so resolved within the Survival Period. Liability for any such item shall continue until such claim shall have been finally settled, decided or adjudicated.

ARTICLE 13
TERMINATION

13.1 Termination for Certain Causes by BMI. (a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Final Closing by BMI upon written notice to TowerCo, upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events, effective as of the date designated by BMI in its notice of termination:

(i) If any of the conditions set forth in Article 10 have not been satisfied, performed or waived in writing on or as of any applicable Closing Date;

(ii) If any representation or warranty of CCIC or TowerCo set forth in Article 7 or 8 shall prove to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect;

(iii) If CCIC's or TowerCo's failure to comply with conditions hereunder constitute (A) a breach of representation or warranty by CCIC TowerCo or either of them in any material respect, (B) a failure by CCIC or TowerCo to perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, requirements, restrictions or provisions of this Agreement in any material respect, or (C) a default by CCIC or TowerCo; or

(iv) If CCIC or TowerCo fail to keep, observe, perform, satisfy or comply with, fully and completely, in any material respect, any of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, requirements, restrictions or provisions required by this Agreement to be kept, observed, performed, satisfied or complied with by CCIC or TowerCo.

45

(v) If an unwaived event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under Section 31(d) of the BMI Sublease that would give BMI the right to terminate the Sublease as to all Sites;

provided; however that for the events listed in clauses (i) through (iv) above occurring after the Initial Closing, BMI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement only if such event or events shall have or would have a substantial likelihood of preventing or delaying a Closing (it being understood that such prevention or delay may be caused by BMI's exercise of its other rights under this Agreement in its reasonable discretion), such termination to be effective after notice to TowerCo and an opportunity for TowerCo to cure all such events within (A) ninety (90) days of such notice, in the case of a failure of a condition described in Section 10.6(a) and (B) twenty (20) days of such notice, in all other cases.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by BMI pursuant to Section 13.1(a), then BMI shall be entitled to and CCIC shall pay BMI, within five (5) business days following the date of such termination, a termination fee in the amount of $50,000,000 (the "Termination Fee"). Upon any such termination, all Transaction Documents between the parties shall be terminated (including the Site Marketing Agreement), and, at the option of BMI, all prior Closings shall be rescinded. If released to BMI, the Escrow Fund shall be applied toward CCIC's obligation to pay the Termination Fee. If BMI exercises its option to rescind the prior Closings, payment of the Termination Fee shall be made by netting it against the amounts previously paid to Transferring Entities at the previous Closings, and BMI shall pay to CCIC any amounts paid to Transferring Entities at the prior Closings which are in excess of the Termination Fee.

13.2 Termination for Passage of Time. This Agreement may be terminated by either party (a) if the Initial Closing shall not have occurred on or before June 30, 1999 or (ii) if the conditions to Closing contained in Articles 10 and 11 shall not have been satisfied or waived in writing on or before ten (10) months from the date hereof. Upon any such termination, no party shall have any further rights, Liabilities or obligations hereunder.

13.3 TowerCo's Remedies. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the parties fail to consummate any Closing contemplated by the Closing Schedule as a result of BMI's or BST's failure to keep, observe, perform, satisfy or comply with, fully and completely, any of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, requirements, restrictions or provisions required by this Agreement to be kept, observed, performed, satisfied or complied with by BMI, then TowerCo may exercise such all such rights and remedies as may be provided for or allowed by law or in equity. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, CCIC may, in addition to any other remedies that may be available at law or in equity, bring an action for specific performance, including attorneys' fees and costs of suit.

(b) Each Transferring Entity hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of such Transferring Entity's default hereunder, TowerCo shall be entitled to, without limitation, (i) an Action for specific performance against such Transferring Entity and (b) the right to seek, prove and

46

recover direct damages from such Transferring Entity incurred by TowerCo in connection with such Action, including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees in connection with such Action.

14.2 Facsimile as Writing. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any statutory or decisional law to the contrary, the printed product of a facsimile transmittal shall be deemed to be "written" and a "writing" for all purposes of this Agreement.

14.3 No Assignment; Binding Effect. Each Transferring Entity may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the written consent of Crown or TowerCo, to any BMI Affiliate it being understood that upon such assignment, such Transferring Entity will not be released from its obligations hereunder. Neither Crown nor TowerCo may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the other parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. A Person may become a Transferring Entity hereunder and a party hereto or to any Transaction Document by executing and delivering to CCIC a Site Designation Supplement or other written instrument reasonably acceptable to CCIC, setting forth its agreement to be bound by the terms hereof or thereof, whereupon such Person shall be a party hereto or thereto.

14.4 Headings. The headings of particular provisions of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not to be construed as a part of this Agreement or serve as a limitation or expansion on the scope of any term or provision of this Agreement.

48

14.5 Exhibits and Schedules. Each and every exhibit and schedule referred to or otherwise mentioned in this Agreement is attached to this Agreement and is and shall be construed to be made a part of this Agreement by such reference or other mention at each point at which such reference or other mention occurs, in the same manner and with the same effect as if each exhibit and schedule were set forth in full and at length every time it is referred to or otherwise mentioned.

14.6 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them at the point where first defined, irrespective of where their use occurs, with the same effect as if the definitions of such terms were set forth in full and at length every time such terms are used.

14.7 Arbitration. (a) Any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with the negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (other than the payment of moneys) shall be solely and finally settled by arbitration which shall be conducted in Washington, D.C., in accordance with the Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes (the "Rules") as promulgated from time to time by the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution in New York, New York (the "CPR"), by a panel of three arbitrators selected by the CPR in accordance with the Rules (the "Arbitrators"). The Arbitrators shall be lawyers experienced in real estate and corporate transactions in the tower industry and shall not have been employed by or affiliated with any of the Parties or their Affiliates. The Parties hereby renounce all recourse to litigation and agree that the award of the Arbitrators shall be final and subject to no judicial review; provided however, that neither the provisions of this Section 14.7 nor the recourse to arbitration, shall prejudice the right of any Party to apply to any court of ordinary jurisdiction for the request of temporary or permanent injunctive or similar judicial relief. A written transcript shall be kept of all proceedings. The Arbitrators shall decide the issues submitted to them, in writing, stating the reasons for their decision, in accordance with: (i) the provisions and purposes of this Agreement; and (ii) the laws of the State of Georgia (without regard to its conflicts of laws rules). Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrators shall render their decision within sixty (60) days.

(b) The parties agree to facilitate the arbitration by: (i) making available to one another and to the Arbitrators for examination, inspection and extraction all documents, books, records and personnel under their control if determined by the Arbitrators to be relevant to the dispute; (ii) conducting arbitration hearings to the greatest extent possible on successive days; and
(iii) observing strictly the time periods established by the Rules or by the Arbitrators for submission of evidence or briefs.

(c) Judgment on the award of the Arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which enforcement of the award is being sought. The Arbitrators are expressly authorized to enter orders of interim or provisional relief each of which may be enforced as a final award. The Arbitrators shall divide all costs (other than fees of counsel) incurred in conducting the arbitration in their final award in accordance with what they deem just and equitable under the circumstances.

49

14.8 Partial Invalidity and Severability. All rights and restrictions contained herein may be exercised and are applicable and binding only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable Laws and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary to render this Agreement legal, valid and enforceable. If any term of this Agreement, or part thereof, not essential to the commercial purpose of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a Forum of competent jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the remaining terms hereof, or part thereof, constitute their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and all such remaining terms, or parts thereof, remain in full force and effect. To the extent legally permissible, any illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement will be replaced by a valid provision which will implement the commercial purpose of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.

14.9 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party which is entitled to the benefit thereof, but only if such waiver is evidenced by a writing signed by such party. No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy created hereunder, will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by either party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No waiver by either party hereto of any breach of or default in any term or condition of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of or assent to any succeeding breach of or default in the same or any other term or condition hereof.

14.10 Rights Cumulative. All rights, remedies, powers and privileges conferred under this Agreement on the parties shall be cumulative of and in addition to, but not restrictive of or in lieu of, those conferred by law.

14.11 Time of Essence; Dates. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Anywhere a day certain is stated for payment or for performance of any obligation, the day certain so stated enters into and becomes a part of the consideration for this Agreement. If any date set forth in this Agreement shall fall on, or any time period set forth in this Agreement shall expire on, a day which is a Saturday, Sunday, federal or state holiday, or other non-business day, such date shall automatically be extended to, and the expiration of such time period shall automatically to be extended to, the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, federal or state holiday or other non-business day. The final day of any time period under this Agreement or any deadline under this Agreement shall be the specified day or date, and shall include the period of time through and including such specified day or date. All references to the "Effective Date" shall be deemed to refer to the later of the date of TowerCo's or BMI's execution of this Agreement, as indicated below their executions hereon.

14.12 Governing Law. The validity and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by, construed under and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules.

50

14.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14.14 Attorneys' Fees. In the event of any litigation between the parties arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party the expenses of litigation (including reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by the prevailing party.

14.15 Authority. Each party hereto warrants and represents that such party has full and complete authority to enter into this Agreement and each person executing this Agreement on behalf of a party warrants and represents that he has been fully authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of such party and that such party is bound by the signature of such representative.

14.16 Counsel. Each party hereto warrants and represents that each party has been afforded the opportunity to be represented by counsel of its choice in connection with the execution of this Agreement and has had ample opportunity to read, review, and understand the provisions of this Agreement.

14.17 Number and Gender. Where the context requires, the use of the singular form herein includes the plural, the use of the plural includes the singular, and the use of any gender includes any and all genders.

14.18 No Construction Against Preparer. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party's having or being deemed to have prepared or imposed such provision.

14.19 Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this Agreement contains the sole and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby. This Agreement will not be altered or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the party entitled to the benefit of the provision against whom enforcement is sought.

14.20 Power of Attorney. (a) The Transferring Entities, and each of them, hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint BMI as their agent to modify, amend or otherwise change the Agreement to Sublease, any other Transaction Documents or any of their respective terms or provisions (including modifications, amendments or changes subsequent to any Closing), to take all actions and to execute all documents necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Agreement to Sublease, and to take all actions and to execute all documents which may be necessary or desirable in connection therewith, to give

51

and receive consents and all notices hereunder, to negotiate and settle claims for indemnification thereunder and to perform any other act arising under or pertaining to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. Each Transferring Entity agrees that service of process upon BMI in any action or proceeding arising under or pertaining to the Transaction Documents shall be deemed to be valid service of process upon the undersigned, and any claim by CCIC against any Transferring Entity in respect to the Transaction Documents may be settled by BMI. BMI shall be deemed to have accepted the appointment herein upon its execution of this Agreement.

(b) It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing power of attorney and the agency created thereby is coupled with an interest of the respective parties hereto and shall be binding on and enforceable against the respective successors and assigns of the undersigned, and each of them, and said power of attorney shall not be revoked or terminated in any event, including, without limitation, the dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency of any Transferring Entity, shall continue to be binding and enforceable in the manner provided herein and shall survive any and all Closings.

(c) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to make BMI liable to the Transferring Entities because of service in its capacity as agent or otherwise. In performing any of its duties under this letter agreement, BMI shall not incur or be responsible for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, demands, judgments, losses, costs, damages or expenses whatsoever ("Losses") to the Transferring Entities, except for BMI's fraud, willful default or gross negligence, and each Transferring Entity shall indemnify BMI against all Losses.

In addition, at BMI's request, Vendor shall assign to BMI a non-exclusive right to enforce all warranties respecting materials used by Vendor in Completing each BTS Site and shall secure any and all consents from the suppliers of such materials to make such assignment effective or enforce any such warranties on behalf of BMI. If any defect or deviation should exist, develop, be discovered or appear within the Warranty Period, Vendor, at its sole cost and expense, immediately upon demand, shall fully and completely repair, correct and eliminate such defect or deviation. The foregoing warranties and guarantees are cumulative of and in addition to, and not restrictive of or in lieu of, any and all other warranties and guarantees provided for or required by the Specifications, any other provision of this Agreement or applicable laws, and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

6.11 Access and Inspection. (a) The construction shall be performed in such a manner as will permit BMI to inspect each BTS Site. BMI may, at its election, conduct or have conducted such inspections as it deems necessary at each BTS Site. If BMI notifies Vendor of any observed defects or nonconformities with the Specifications, Vendor shall promptly correct any defect or nonconformity in such time and manner as will permit Completion of each BTS Site in accordance with the Site Schedule for such BTS Site. The failure of BMI to inspect any BTS Site, however, will not in any way limit, waive, or otherwise affect the rights of BMI with respect to any of Vendor's warranties or obligations under this Agreement.

(b) BMI will have access to any BTS Site during all working hours, and will have the right to observe the Work performed; provided, however, that BMI shall not delay, hinder or interfere with the performance of the Work. BMI's inspection of any Work will not relieve Vendor of any of its obligations to perform the Work in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation the Specifications, except to the extent a specific deviation from the Specifications at any BTS Site is or has been accepted in writing by BMI.

Not later than twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice, BMI shall provide Vendor with written notice stating (i) BMI agrees that the Work as to such BTS Site is Completed, whereupon the parties shall execute a Completion Certificate with respect to such BTS Site as soon as reasonably practicable after BMI gives such notice, (ii) BMI rejects such BTS Site as not Completed; provided BMI includes an explanation in reasonable detail of the respects in which such BTS Site is not Completed, or (iii) BMI exercises the option set forth in Section 6.12(c) to execute a Completion Certificate together with a Punch List.

(b) In addition to any right BMI may have under Section 6.11, BMI will have the right to (i) inspect any BTS Site at any time after BMI receives the notification under Section 6.12(a) and prior to any date on which the Completion Certificate is executed and (ii) notify Vendor in writing if such inspection by BMI reveals that Completion has not occurred with respect to any BTS Site. Promptly after receipt of any such notification, Vendor shall promptly cause any unperformed Work to be performed.

(c) Upon issuance of the Completion Certificate with respect to a BTS Site, such BTS Site shall constitute a completed BTS Site (a "Completed BTS Site"). Each Completed BTS Site shall be added to Exhibit B hereto and shall constitute an accepted BTS Site. If at any time prior to Completion such BTS Site does not comply with the Specifications or other requirements of this Agreement in any material respect, BMI may, at its sole option, elect to execute a Completion Certificate with respect to such BTS Site together with a punch list, in the form of Annex F attached hereto (the "Punch List"), indicating the particulars of the alleged deviation from the Specifications or other requirements of Vendor hereunder. Vendor shall promptly, but not later than within thirty (30) days of the date of the Punch List and at its own cost and expense, correct any such non-compliance or deviation. Upon execution of a Completion Certification and a Site Designation Supplement with respect to a BTS Site, BMI shall pay Vendor a Site Maintenance Charge applicable to such BTS Site pursuant to Section 3.01(b) and, the Site Installation Fee pursuant to Annex H.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 6.12(c), if (i) any BTS Site becomes a Substantially Completed Site and (ii) at any time before the execution of the Completion Certificate or the Site Designation Supplement with respect to any BTS Site, BMI installs and begins operation of BMI's Communications Equipment on such BTS Site in a revenue generating mode, such BTS Site shall be deemed to constitute a Substantially Completed BTS Site, and from and after the date such BTS Site is deemed a Substantially Completed Site and such Communications

23

Equipment has been in service, BMI shall be obligated to pay Vendor the applicable Site Maintenance Charge and Site Installation Charge with respect to such BTS Site; provided, however, that in either case BMI shall have the right to defer, accrue, and withhold payment of, the applicable BTS Site Maintenance Charge and Site Installation Charge until such BTS Site is Completed. Not later than thirty (30) days after any such BTS Site is Complete, BMI shall pay such accrued Site Maintenance Charge and Site Installation Charge, without interest.

(e) The parties acknowledge that during the construction period, title, right and interest in, to and under the Tower and Improvements on each BTS Site shall vest in and at all times remain with Vendor. Without limiting the foregoing, effective as of the date of the Completion of each BTS Site, all rights, title and interest in, to and under the Tower and Improvements constructed on such BTS Site pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed, without any further action or demand by BMI, transferred, assigned and conveyed over unto BMI or the applicable BMI Affiliate upon execution of the applicable Completion Certificate, and Vendor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to BMI, as an attachment to a Completion Certificate, any and all further instruments and documents to assure such transfer, assignment and conveyance to the full extent contemplated by Vendor's obligation hereunder.

(b) If Vendor defaults under this Agreement, and BMI elects to enforce the provisions of this Section 7.01, BMI shall promptly give CCIC written notice thereof, which notice shall constitute an exercise of BMI's rights against CCIC pursuant to this Section 7.01. Following the receipt of such notice by CCIC, CCIC shall have the same period of time as is afforded to Vendor under this Agreement to cure such default, but no such cure period shall diminish the obligations of CCIC under this Section 7.01.

(c) This guaranty obligation of CCIC shall be enforceable by BMI in an action against CCIC without the necessity of any suit, action, or proceedings by BMI of any kind or nature whatsoever against Vendor, without the necessity of any notice to CCIC of Vendor's default or breach under this Agreement, and without the necessity of any other notice or demand to CCIC to which CCIC or Vendor might otherwise be entitled, all of which notices CCIC hereby expressly waives. CCIC hereby agrees that the validity of this guaranty and the obligations of CCIC hereunder shall not be terminated, affected, diminished, or impaired by reason of the assertion or the failure to assert by BMI against Vendor any of the rights or

24

remedies reserved to BMI pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other remedy or right which BMI may have at law or in equity or otherwise.

(d) CCIC covenants and agrees that this guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty. The liability of CCIC hereunder shall not be affected, modified, or diminished by reason of any assignment, renewal, modification or extension of this Agreement or any modification or waiver of or change in any of the covenants and terms of this Agreement by agreement of BMI and Vendor, or by any unilateral action of either BMI or Vendor, or by an extension of time that may be granted by BMI to Vendor or any indulgence of any kind granted to Vendor, or any dealings or transactions occurring between BMI and Vendor, including, without limitation, any adjustment, compromise, settlement, accord and satisfaction, or release, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership, or trusteeship affecting Vendor. CCIC does hereby expressly waive any suretyship defense it may have by virtue of any statute, law, or ordinance of any state or other governmental authority.

(e) All of BMI's rights and remedies under this guaranty are intended to be distinct, separate, and cumulative and no such right and remedy herein is intended to be the exclusion of or a waiver of any other.

(f) CCIC hereby waives presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and notice of acceptance. CCIC further waive any right to require that an action be brought against Vendor or any other person or to require that resort be had by BMI to any security held by BMI.

8.01 Acquisition of BTS Site. In addition to and not in limitation of any other obligations of Vendor under this Agreement, in order to permit the construction and installation of the Tower and the Improvements on each BTS Site, Vendor may act as BMI's agent in the acquisition for, on behalf and in the name of BMI, of a fee title to or a leasehold interest in such BTS Site. Each BTS Site which is so acquired, at BMI's request, shall be free and clear of all Liens.

In the event that Vendor determines, in Vendor's reasonable judgment, that the results of such Inspections are not satisfactory, Vendor

25

shall give BMI notice to such effect and thereafter such site shall no longer be a BTS Site hereunder and Vendor shall, at BMI's written direction, terminate any option of BMI to enter into a Ground Lease for such site, identify and propose to BMI a new potential cell site location for a BTS Site pursuant to and subject to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 hereof, and the Site Schedule as it applies to the applicable BTS Site, shall be adjusted to reflect any additional time which will be required for the performance of any of the duties or obligations of Vendor under this Agreement as a result of such event.

8.05 Additional Environmental Requirements. Prior to commencement of construction in respect of any BTS Site (and except as to any Potential Colocation Sites, prior to obtaining any Permit) and as a condition to BMI's obligations to accept any BTS Site, Vendor shall perform an analysis to determine whether (i) the proposed site will be located in an officially designated wilderness area or preserve; (ii) the facility may affect federally listed, threatened or endangered species or designated critical habitats; (iii) the facility may affect districts, site buildings, structures, objects, or other cultural resources listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places; (iv) facility may affect Indian religious sites; (v) the potential site is located within a 100-year floodplain; (vi) the construction of the facility will involve a significant change in surface features (e.g., wetland fill, deforestation, or water diversion); (vii) the structure will be equipped with high intensity white lights and be located in or near a residential neighborhood; including any future modifications to the rules as directed by the FCC.

If it is found that any condition listed in this Section 8.05 is present at any BTS Site, an Environmental Assessment must be prepared by the Vendor and filed with the FCC with a copy being provided to BMI. If any of conditions listed herein are present, no construction may be commenced on a BTS Site until the required FCC applications have been granted and notice of such grant is provided to Vendor by BMI's authorized representative. All costs and expenses incurred by Vendor in connection with or relating to Vendor's compliance with the requirements of this
Section 8.05 shall be borne by Vendor.

12.04 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. None of the duties and obligations of Vendor under this Agreement shall in any way or in any manner be deemed to create any liability of Vendor to, or any rights in, any person or entity other than the BMI Indemnitees and the Vendor Indemnitees.

(c) This Sublease is subject to all matters affecting BMI's right, title and interest in and to any Owned Site (including without limitation, Existing Subleases and the interests of third parties as to any Owned Sites that are subject to any Colocation Agreements);

-12-

and, as to Leased Sites, this Sublease is also subject to all matters affecting title to BMI's leasehold interest, leasehold estate or other possessory interest therein (including without limitation, Existing Subleases and the interest of a third party as to any Leased Sites that are subject to Colocation Agreements).

(d) TowerCo hereby acknowledges that, as to the Subleased Property of each Leased Site, this Sublease is a sublease by BMI under the provisions of, and is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of, the applicable Ground Lease of such Leased Site. As to any Leased Site, BMI shall not be deemed to have assumed any duty or obligation of the Ground Lessor under the applicable Ground Lease and shall not be liable or responsible in any manner whatsoever for any failure of such Ground Lessor to perform any such duty or obligation. Except as provided in Section 3(f) or 3(h), TowerCo shall abide by, comply in all respects with, and fully and completely perform all terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions of each Ground Lease (including, without limitation, terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions relating to maintenance, insurance and alterations) as if TowerCo were the "ground lessee" thereunder and, to the extent evidence of such performance must be provided to the Ground Lessor of the applicable Ground Lease, TowerCo shall provide such evidence to BMI. TowerCo shall not engage in or permit any conduct that would:
(i) constitute a breach of or default under any Ground Lease; or (ii) result in the Ground Lessor being entitled to terminate the applicable Ground Lease or to terminate BMI's right as ground lessee under such Ground Lease, or to exercise any other rights or remedies to which the Ground Lessor may be entitled for a default or breach under the applicable Ground Lease. During the Term of this Sublease, BMI agrees to exercise prior to the expiration thereof and in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Ground Lease, any and all renewal options existing as of the date of the Site Designation Supplement, and as may be further extended or renewed by BMI pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, for any Leased Site under the Ground Leases of such Leased Sites; provided, however, that such renewals shall not extend the Expiration Date for the Site Designations Supplements for such Leased Sites.

(e) Except as provided in Section 3(f), TowerCo shall not be entitled to act as agent for, or otherwise on behalf of, BMI or to bind BMI in any way whatsoever.

(f) Subject to the provisions of Section 8 and after BMI has exercised all renewal options pursuant to Section 3(d), TowerCo, at TowerCo's sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for and shall negotiate and obtain any extension or renewal of the Ground Leases of the Leased Sites on behalf of and for the benefit of BMI, and BMI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist TowerCo in obtaining such extension or renewal, provided that such extension or renewal does not impose any liability on BMI for which TowerCo is not responsible under the terms of this Sublease. TowerCo shall commence its negotiations with the applicable Ground Lessor sufficiently in advance of any expiration of each Ground Lease and in any event, not later than two (2) years prior to such expiration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time during the twelve-month period immediately prior to any expiration of a Ground Lease of a Leased Site, TowerCo has not successfully effected the extension or renewal of such Ground Lease, BMI shall have the right to take responsibility for conducting and completing negotiations for such extension or renewal on its own behalf and upon BMI's exercise of such right by written notice thereof, TowerCo shall cease participating in

-13-

any negotiations with the applicable Ground Lessor as to such Site. Until such time as BMI so exercises its right to conduct and complete negotiations for such extension or renewal, TowerCo shall be exclusively responsible for conducting and completing such negotiations and BMI shall not participate, except to the extent reasonably requested by TowerCo, in any negotiations with the applicable Ground Lessor as to such Site. In the event BMI completes negotiations for such extension or renewal, TowerCo shall have the option, exercisable within thirty
(30) days of receipt of notice of the terms of the extension or renewal, of (i) assuming all payments for the extension or renewal and retaining its sublease interest in such Site or (ii) assigning all of its interests in such Site to BMI as of the date the Ground Lease would have expired had BMI not extended or renewed such Ground Lease, and BMI's Site Maintenance Charge and TowerCo's obligation to pay Rent, if any, shall terminate effective that date. If neither TowerCo on behalf of and for the benefit of BMI nor BMI is able to extend or renew any Ground Lease in accordance with this Section 3(f), then the Parties shall permit such Ground Lease to expire on the applicable expiration date and this Sublease shall have no further force and effect as to the Subleased Property of the Leased Site to which such Ground Lease applies. Each of TowerCo and CCIC agrees that neither it, nor any of its Affiliates, shall seek to obtain, obtain or hold, any interest in any Ground Lease or its underlying fee interest that is superior or prior to BMI's interests in such Ground Lease. TowerCo shall have the right, up to the date on which BMI exercises its right to conduct and complete negotiations with the applicable Ground Lessor, to acquire the fee simple interest in the Site from the Ground Lessor and transfer such fee simple interest to BMI for $1.00, in which event there shall be no Rent for that Site as of the date fee simple title vests in BMI; provided that, if there is a continuing unwaived event of default by BMI with respect to the Ground Lease of any Site, TowerCo shall have no obligation to transfer to BMI the fee simple interest in such Site. Except as provided above or as TowerCo may otherwise agree, BMI shall not take any action to amend any Ground Lease, other than to exercise renewals expressly provided therein. If any subdivision is required for the transfer of such fee simple interest, BMI shall cooperate with TowerCo to the extent reasonably requested, including without limitation by executing any applications required for such subdivision, all at TowerCo's sole cost and expense.

(g) Subject to Section 25 and Section 26, BMI's right to sell, convey, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of BMI's interest in and to any Site (including BMI's or such Affiliates interest in and to the Subleased Property of such Site) shall be unrestricted.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, BMI represents to TowerCo that as of the date of the applicable Site Designation Supplement, each Ground Lease for a Leased Site will be in full force and effect and BMI will not be in default under any such Ground Lease in any material respect as a result of BMI's acts or omissions. BMI further agrees that it will promptly pay or cause to be paid the Ground Rent under each of the Ground Leases of the Leased Sites during the Term of this Sublease when such payments become due and payable. BMI shall pay the Ground Rent in respect of each Site, for so long as this Sublease is in effect as to such Site, notwithstanding that TowerCo may be in default of its obligations hereunder. BMI shall otherwise perform any obligations under and comply with the terms of each of the Ground Leases, but only if such obligations are expressly reserved to BMI for its performance under the terms of this Sublease. Upon receipt by BMI of any notice of default or notice of an act or omission which could with the passing of time and/or the giving of

-14-

notice constitute an event of default under a Ground Lease or non-compliance with a term of a Ground Lease (the "Default Notice"), BMI shall, within five (5) days after receipt of the Default Notice, provide TowerCo with a copy of the Default Notice. If such default or non-compliance with a term of a Ground Lease is caused by TowerCo or any Space Subtenant, TowerCo shall, and shall cause the applicable Space Subtenant, cure or otherwise remedy such default or non- compliance. If any such default or non-compliance with a term of a Ground Lease (in respect of an obligation expressly reserved for performance by BMI) is caused by BMI, then BMI shall, within two (2) days after the expiration of the aforementioned 5-day period, provide TowerCo a letter stating that (i) the default or non-compliance, if a payment default, or if the default is in respect of an obligation expressly reserved for performance by BMI, has been cured or remedied, (ii) if the default is in respect of an obligation expressly reserved for performance by BMI, the default (other than a payment default) has not been cured but will be cured within the time period provided under the Ground Lease, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the actions BMI intends to take to effect such cure, its basis for concluding that such actions will be accepted by the Ground Lessor as an adequate cure or (iii) the basis, if any, for BMI's good faith position that there is no default or non-compliance if the default is in respect of an obligation expressly reserved under this Sublease for performance by BMI ("BMI's Notice"). If BMI does not or cannot provide BMI's Notice or if, subsequent to delivery of BMI's Notice to TowerCo, BMI is unable to effect an appropriate cure, then TowerCo has the right, but not the obligation, to take such action as may reasonably be necessary to cure or otherwise remedy such default or non-compliance and, in such event, TowerCo will have the right to demand prompt reimbursement from BMI of any and all amounts expended by TowerCo or on TowerCo's behalf, together with interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date of TowerCo's payment until the date repaid by BMI. TowerCo's failure to take any such action shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver of any rights it may have to assert Claims against BMI for a breach of its obligations under this Sublease. Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, unless an obligation under a Ground Lease represents a payment default by BMI or is expressly reserved under this Sublease for performance by BMI, any default referred to in the Default Notice shall constitute a default by TowerCo under this Sublease.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, TowerCo shall have the right, at TowerCo's cost and expense, to make Alterations to any Site and to expand a Site, including the expansion of the Land, as TowerCo deems reasonably necessary for the conduct of its business pursuant to this Sublease, including but not limited to the extension of the Tower, the re- enforcement of the Tower, and the construction of additional Towers on such Site; provided, however, that such Alterations or expansions shall be subject to TowerCo's performance of its obligations pursuant to this Sublease, including but not limited to Sections 13 and 15 and shall not disrupt or otherwise adversely affect BMI's Permitted Use of its Reserved Space. TowerCo covenants and agrees that any such Alterations or expansions shall be made in a workmanlike manner in compliance with standard industry practices and with all applicable Laws.

TowerCo shall receive all rents and other economic benefits from parties to Colocation Agreements that occupy any Available Space. BMI retains and reserves all rights under the Colocation Agreements to occupy any space on any cell site location (including towers and Improvements thereof) of any other parties to the Colocation Agreements that is available for occupancy pursuant to such Colocation Agreements (the "Available Colocation Space"). TowerCo shall have no right or obligation to amend or modify any Colocation Agreement, except as to the terms applicable to the occupancy of any Available Space by the Party to such Colocation Agreement; provided, however, that such amendment or modification does not affect BMI's rights thereunder. From time to time, BMI shall give TowerCo written notice of the intent of third parties to Colocation Agreements to occupy any Available Space, and promptly following receipt of such notice, TowerCo shall cooperate with BMI and the applicable third party so as to facilitate such third party's occupancy of such Available Colocation Space.

(c) TowerCo shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify, defend and hold BMI harmless from, against and in respect of any and all Claims, paid, suffered, incurred or sustained by BMI and in any manner arising out of, by reason of, or in connection with any failure of the duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of BMI as "sublandlord" or "sublessor" under any of the Existing Subleases affecting each Site and arising from and after the date of the Site

-16-

Designation Supplement for such Site, to be fully and completely performed pursuant to the Existing Subleases, except to the extent caused by BMI or BMI Affiliate or a BMI Indemnitee.

(d) The assignment by BMI to TowerCo of the Existing Subleases in respect of each Site shall automatically terminate and expire, such Existing Subleases shall automatically be assigned to BMI, and BMI shall accept such assignment, upon the expiration of the Term of, or earlier termination of, this Sublease in respect of such Site.

5. Reserved Space. (a) TowerCo expressly acknowledges that, as to any Site, the Subleased Property of such Site does not include, and that BMI has reserved and excepted from this Sublease, the Reserved Space of such Site, regardless of whether or not such Reserved Space is now or hereafter occupied, and, TowerCo further expressly acknowledges that as between BMI and TowerCo, the Reserved Space of each Site shall, at all times during the Term of this Sublease, be and remain the property of BMI. As an appurtenance to, and a part of, the Reserved Space of each Site, BMI also reserves; (i) the right of ingress to and egress from the entire Site, and access to the entire Tower and all Improvements thereof (including any and all easements), at such times (on a 24- hour, seven (7) day per week basis unless otherwise limited by the Ground Lease or other restrictions of record that have priority over the Sublease), to such extent, and in such means and manners (on foot or by motor vehicle, including trucks and other heavy equipment), as BMI deems necessary or desirable in connection with its full use and enjoyment of the Reserved Space, including, without limitation, the construction, installation, use, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of its Communications Facility thereon; and (ii) the right to use any portion of the Subleased Property of a Site, including the Land and Improvements thereof, for purposes of temporary location and storage of any equipment (including Communications Equipment) and any part thereof in connection with performing any repairs or replacements of BMI's Improvements; provided, however, that such storage shall not have a material adverse effect on Space Subtenants' Permitted Use.

(b) (i) Subject to the availability of Available Space on the applicable Tower (other than Towers on BTS Sites) at the time of the proposed expansion, BMI may at any time expand the Reserved Space on Towers on up to one hundred and twenty (120) Sites by expanding the number of panels on an existing Tower (other than Towers on BTS Sites) to up to twelve (12) panels consistent with other typical twelve (12) panel arrays currently existing on other Towers on the date hereof, without any limitation on the increase in the weight or sail area resulting from such expansion or upgrade; provided, however, that the weight and sail area of the Communications Equipment located on the Tower location of such Reserved Space shall not exceed the weight or sail area as of the applicable Site Commencement Date (subject to increase resulting from the expansion of the number of panels on such Tower) by more than ten percent (10%).

(ii) As to BTS Sites, at the time of the proposed expansion, BMI will have the right to (x) expand the number of panels on the Towers of such BTS Sites to up to twelve (12) panels consistent with the twelve (12) panel antenna arrays and related equipment specified in Annex B to the Construction Agreement, without any limitation on (A) the number of BTS Sites in respect of which this right may be exercised and (B) the increase in the weight or

-17-

sail area resulting from such expansion or upgrade and (y) add a microwave dish subject to Section 5(b)(iii).

(iii) As to any BTS Site, regardless of the actual number of panel antennas existing at the time of the applicable Site Designation Supplement, BMI shall have the right to expand the number of antennas on such BTS Site and to add additional equipment on such BTS Site, so long as no such addition or expansion results in the increase of the weight or sail area of BMI's Communications Equipment by more than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the weight and sail area associated with the twelve (12) panel antenna array and related equipment specified in Annex B (excluding the weight and sail area associated with the microwave dish on Annex B) to the Construction Agreement. If such weight and sail area are exceeded at any BTS Site and the applicable BMI Affiliate desires to add a microwave dish or any other equipment at such BTS Site, such BMI Affiliate shall pay TowerCo an increase in the Site Maintenance Charge for such BTS Site, at market rates, for such microwave dish.

(c) Subject to the availability of Available Space on the applicable Tower at the time of the proposed expansion, BMI shall have the further right to expand the number of panels on the Tower beyond the first one hundred twenty
(120) Sites, provided that BMI shall pay TowerCo $100 per month per panel, not to exceed $1600 per Tower. Such amounts shall increase each year after the date hereof five percent (5%) per year, until the tenth anniversary of the applicable Site Designation Supplement and thereafter pursuant to Section 11(h).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Reserved Space of each Site will include, without limitation, all portions of such Site utilized or occupied by BMI or BMI Affiliate as of the applicable Site Commencement Date for such Site for the use, enjoyment, operation or maintenance of BMI's Communications Facility on such Site for the Permitted Use. Subject to Section 25(a), the Parties further agree that for purposes of calculating the Aggregate Site Maintenance Charge, the amount of Site Maintenance Charge stated in Section 11(c) shall apply to the number of antennas existing on any Site as of June 1, 1999. If at any time between June 1, 1999 and the Closing Date (as defined in the Agreement to Sublease) at which a Site is made subject to this Sublease, BMI or its Affiliate elects to increase the number of panels on such Site and install any additional antennas, then BMI shall have an option, exercisable at its sole discretion upon written notice to TowerCo prior to the applicable Closing, to (i) count such Site toward one hundred and twenty (120) Sites in accordance with Section 5(b) and pay the amount of Site Maintenance Charge determined in accordance with
Section 11(c) with respect to such Site, or (ii) pay TowerCo, the amount of Site Maintenance Charge determined in accordance with in Section 5(c).

(e) The parties acknowledge and agree that antenna mounting hardware constitutes a portion of the Improvements and does not constitute part of the Reserved Space, except antenna mounting hardware attached to the Tower on any BTS Site. If, as to any Sites (other than BTS Sites), the applicable BMI Affiliate desires to exercise its Right of Substitution pursuant to Section
25(b), to move any of its Communications Equipment on such Tower to any Available Space, and such exercise would require relocation of the existing antenna mounting hardware to accommodate such move, TowerCo shall move such antenna mounting hardware as requested by such BMI Affiliate, unless (i) other Space Subtenants are sharing the same antenna mounting hardware, (ii) such relocation would adversely affect the rights of other Space

-18-

Subtenants or (iii) TowerCo otherwise determines that such relocation is not feasible or beneficial. If TowerCo does relocate such BMI Affiliate's antenna mounting hardware in response to the exercise of the Right of Substitution, such BMI Affiliate shall reimburse TowerCo for the reasonable costs directly attributable to such relocation. If as contemplated by the foregoing, TowerCo does not or cannot relocate the existing antenna mounting hardware, TowerCo shall, at its sole cost and expense, install suitable mounting hardware at the location on the Tower designated by the applicable BMI Affiliate, so as to accommodate the requested relocation; provided that such BMI Affiliate shall remain responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses associated with moving its antennas to the antenna mounting hardware supplied by TowerCo. Under no circumstances will any antenna mounting hardware be taken into account in determining the amount of any increase in the weight or sail area of a BMI Affiliate's Communications Equipment on the Tower location of its Reserved Space, pursuant to Section 5(c), 25(a) or otherwise.

(f) Not later than five (5) business days before any BMI Affiliate adds or relocates any antennas to the Tower location of any Site, such BMI Affiliate shall give TowerCo notice of such addition or relocation. No approval of TowerCo shall be required for any addition or relocation. Upon the request of either Party, the Parties shall promptly execute such instruments as may be reasonably required to further evidence such addition or relocation, including without limitation an amendment to the applicable Site Designation Supplement, and shall cause such amendment to be recorded at such BMI Affiliate's cost and expense, unless the Parties otherwise agree.

(g) With respect to any space which, pursuant to clause (y) of the definition of "Reserved Space", is reserved on a BTS Site for installation of a microwave dish (the "Reserved Microwave Space"), if BMI or one of BMI's Affiliates has not installed a microwave dish in such space pursuant to Section 5(b)(iii) and TowerCo receives a bona fide written application from a Space Subtenant to install equipment in such Reserved Microwave Space (there being no other acceptable Available Space for such Space Subtenant), BMI shall have ten
(10) days from receipt of written notice from TowerCo to confirm that BMI or one of its Affiliates will commence use of the Reserved Microwave Space, otherwise such Reserved Microwave Space will be released for use by such Space Subtenant. If BMI or a BMI Affiliate commences use of such Reserved Microwave Space, it shall pay TowerCo an increase in the Site Maintenance Charge for such Site, at market rates, for such microwave dish. In the event that such Reserved Microwave Space is released, BMI shall be entitled to replacement microwave space (the "Replacement Microwave Space") located seventeen (17) feet below the Reserved Microwave Space, except to the extent no suitable Replacement Microwave Space exists by virtue of the operation of this Section 5(g). The Replacement Microwave Space shall be subject to the same notice, confirmation, release and replacement process described above; provided that upon release by BMI of any such space, BMI shall be entitled to replacement space (also, "Replacement Microwave Space") located seventeen (17) feet below such released space.

6. Permitted Use.

(a) TowerCo shall use, and shall permit the use of, the Subleased Property of each Site only for the Permitted Use.

(b) TowerCo shall not use, or permit to be used, the Subleased Property of any Site, or any portion thereof, by TowerCo, any Person (other than BMI) or the public in such manner as might reasonably tend to impair BMI's title to or interest in such Site, or any portion thereof, or in such manner as might reasonably make possible a Claim or Claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such, or any Person (other than BMI), or of implied dedication of such Subleased Property, or any portion thereof. Nothing contained in this Sublease and no action or inaction by BMI shall be deemed or construed to mean that BMI has granted to TowerCo any right, power or permission to do any act or make any agreement that may create, or give rise to or be the foundation for any such right, title, interest, lien, charge or other encumbrance upon the estate of BMI in any Site.

(c) BMI shall not use, or permit to be used, the Reserved Space of any Site, or any portion thereof, by BMI, any Person (other than TowerCo and Space Subtenants) or the public in such manner as might reasonably tend to impair TowerCo's title to or interest in such Site, or any portion thereof, or in such manner as might reasonably make possible a Claim or Claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such, or any Person (other than TowerCo and Space Subtenants), or of implied dedication of such Reserved Space, or any portion thereof. Nothing contained in this Sublease and no action or inaction by TowerCo shall be deemed or construed to mean that TowerCo has granted to BMI any right, power or permission to do any act or make any agreement that may create, or give rise to or be the foundation for any such right, title, interest, lien, charge or other encumbrance upon the estate of TowerCo in any Site.

7. Access. The Subleased Property of a Site includes, as an appurtenance thereto, a non-exclusive right for access to the Subleased Property of each Site on a 24-hour, seven (7) day per week basis, on foot or motor vehicle, including trucks and other heavy equipment, for the installation and maintenance of the Tower and Improvements thereof and the Communications Facilities of Space Subtenants. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the right to access the Subleased Property of each Site, or any portion thereof, granted pursuant to this Section 7 shall be granted to TowerCo and its authorized contractors, subcontractors, engineers, agents, advisors, consultants, representatives, or other persons authorized by TowerCo and under TowerCo's direct supervision, and to Space Subtenants.

8. Term.

(a) The term of this Sublease, as to each Site, shall commence on the Site Commencement Date set forth in the Site Designation Supplement with respect thereto and shall expire on the Site Expiration Date therefor, which shall be
(i) in respect of an Owned Site (including any Site which becomes an Owned Site after the date hereof, if any), one hundred (100) years from the date of the Site Commencement Date, and (ii) in respect of a Site (other than an Owned Site), one day before the Ground Lease with respect to such Site expires, as the term of such Ground Lease may be renewed or extended pursuant to Section 3 (the "Term"). After BMI has exercised all rights to extend a Ground Lease as a matter of right pursuant to the

-20-

terms of the existing Ground Lease, and if BMI or TowerCo has successfully negotiated a new or extended Ground Lease pursuant to Section 3(f), then the term of BMI's Site Designation Supplement under such Ground Lease for purposes of Section 10(a) and all other purposes of this Sublease shall be deemed to recommence as of the commencement date of the new or extended Ground Lease.

(b) No surrender by TowerCo to BMI of the Subleased Property of any Site or any portion thereof, prior to the expiration of the Term as to such Site shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by BMI, and no act by BMI, other than such a written acceptance, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.

(c) As to any Site, upon expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, TowerCo shall, at its cost and expense and upon instructions from BMI,
(i) within a reasonable period of time, but in no event less than thirty (30) days, stop and cease, and cause the Space Subtenants on such Site to stop and cease, the operation of their respective Communications Facilities on such Site and shall remove, and cause all Space Subtenants to remove, all of TowerCo's and such Space Subtenant's Improvements from such Site, including without limitation, the Tower and the Improvements on such Site, and (ii) (A) restore each Site that is a Leased Site to the condition required by the Ground Lease, including, without limitation removal of the Tower and the Improvements thereof (if required by the applicable Ground Lease) or restore each Site that is an Owned Site to the condition it was in on the applicable Site Commencement Date, or (B) vacate such Site leaving it in "AS IS" condition at the time of such expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease as to such Site.

9. Put Right. In addition to and not in limitation of the provisions of Section 10 or 31(d), BMI will have the Put Right, exercisable in its sole discretion, in respect of any Site, at any time during the Term of this Sublease; provided, however, that the number of Sites in respect of which BMI may exercise its Put Right over the Term shall not exceed an aggregate of the greater of: (i) one and one half percent (1.5%) of the number of all Sites then and theretofore under this Sublease; or (ii) thirty (30) Sites. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BMI shall have no Put Right in respect of any BTS Site within ten
(10) years of the Site Commencement Date for that BTS Site. To exercise any such Put Right, BMI shall give TowerCo not less than six (6) months' prior written notice of such exercise (a "Put Notice"). If BMI exercises the Put Right as to any Site, then BMI's obligation to pay any Site Maintenance Charge with respect to such Site shall terminate as of the Put Date and the Put Date as to such Site shall be the date specified in the applicable Put Notice. Not later than the Put Date of any Site, BMI shall vacate the Reserved Space of such Site if such Reserved Space is occupied whereupon BMI's right to use the Reserved Space of such Site shall be terminated. BMI shall assign to TowerCo all its interest in the Ground Lease as to such Site and any Improvements thereon (other than any BMI Improvements that BMI elects to retain and remove), subject to BMI's receipt of any consent required for such assignment, whereupon BMI shall be released from any and all further obligations under such Ground Lease and under this Sublease in respect of such Site, including, without limitation BMI's obligations to renew or extend the Ground Lease and pay the Ground Rent with respect to such Site and TowerCo hereby acknowledges and consents to such release. If BMI does not receive any such required consent, such Reserved Space shall be deemed subleased to TowerCo pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, and shall be

-21-

added to the Subleased Property of such Site effective without further act of the Parties; provided, however, that the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Site Designation Supplement for such Site to be amended by a written instrument in recordable form to reflect such sublease.

10. Withdrawal.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and without limiting the provisions of Section 9, BMI will have the Withdrawal Right, exercisable in respect of any Site on the tenth anniversary of the Site Commencement Date of such Site and on each five-year anniversary of such Site Commencement Date thereafter. To exercise any such Withdrawal Right, BMI shall give TowerCo written notice of such exercise not less than ninety (90) days, in the case of the exercise of a Withdrawal Right in respect of less than twenty percent (20%) of all Sites now or hereafter under this Sublease and one hundred eighty (180) days, in the case of the exercise of a Withdrawal Right in respect of twenty percent (20%) or more of all Sites now or hereafter under this Sublease, prior to any such anniversary (the "Withdrawal Notice"). If BMI exercises the Withdrawal Right as to any Site, then BMI's obligation to pay any Site Maintenance Charge with respect to such Site shall terminate as of the Withdrawal Date and the Withdrawal Date as to such Site shall be the date specified in the applicable Withdrawal Notice. Not later than the Withdrawal Date of any Site, BMI shall vacate the Reserved Space of such Site if such Reserved Space is occupied. BMI shall assign to TowerCo all its interest in the Ground Lease and any Improvements thereon (other than any BMI Improvements that BMI elects to retain and remove), subject to BMI's receipt of any consent required for such assignment, whereupon BMI shall be released from any and all further obligations under such Ground Lease and under this Sublease in respect of such Site, including, without limitation BMI's obligations to renew or extend the Ground Lease and pay the Ground Rent with respect to such Site and TowerCo hereby acknowledges and consents to such release. If BMI does not receive any such required consent, such Reserved Space shall be deemed subleased to TowerCo pursuant to the terms of this Sublease and shall be added to the Subleased Property of such Site, effective without further act of the Parties; provided, however, that the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Site Designation Supplement for such Site to be amended by a written instrument in recordable form to reflect such sublease.

(b) In addition to and not in limitation of any right of BMI under
Section 10(a), BMI will have the right, exercisable at any time during the Term of this Sublease, to cease occupying the Reserved Space of any Site, and retain its right to such Reserved Space and may permit a BMI Affiliate to occupy such Site, so long as BMI (i) has not exercised its Put Right with regard to that Site pursuant to Section 9 and (ii) continues to pay the Site Maintenance Charge in respect of such Site.

(c) If BMI elects to assign, sublet, transfer or dispose of any interest in any Reserved Space to or in favor of any Person (other than an Affiliate of BMI), then, prior to such assignment, subletting, transfer or disposition, BMI shall give TowerCo written notice of such election ("Disposition Notification") and any such assignment, subletting or disposal shall be subject to TowerCo's rights under Section 10(d). If TowerCo does not exercise its right to acquire any interest in such Reserved Space prior to such assignment, subletting or disposition, then BMI may, at its option, assign, sublet or dispose of such interest in such Reserved Space or

-22-

retain its interest in such Reserved Space, free of any right of TowerCo to acquire any interest in the Reserved Space.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, TowerCo will have the right and option, exercisable by written notice given to BMI at any time (whether before or after such assignment) following BMI's giving of a Disposition Notice as to any Reserved Space (regardless of whether such Reserved Space has been assigned), to purchase from BMI such Reserved Space and all of BMI's retained rights in that Site for consideration equal to: (i) $5,000 (such amount to increase each calendar year after 1999 by the amount of the CPI Increase), payable in immediately available funds on the effective date of such sublease, plus (ii) the grant to BMI of the right to receive thirty-five percent

(35%) of all Gross Revenues payable to TowerCo each year during the Term from any Person's use or occupancy of such Reserved Space. Upon exercise of such purchase right by TowerCo, BMI shall assign to TowerCo all its interest in the Ground Lease and any Improvements thereon (other than any BMI Improvements that BMI elects to retain and remove), subject to BMI's receipt of any consent required for such assignment, whereupon BMI shall be released from any and all further obligations under such Ground Lease and under this Sublease in respect of such Site, including, without limitation BMI's obligations to renew or extend the Ground Lease and pay the Ground Rent with respect to such Site and TowerCo hereby acknowledges and consents to such release. If BMI does not receive any such required consent, such Reserved Space shall be deemed subleased to TowerCo pursuant to the terms of this Sublease and shall be added to the Subleased Property of such Site, effective without further act of the Parties; provided, however, that the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Site Designation Supplement for such Site to be amended by a written instrument in recordable form to reflect such sublease. Upon any such assignment or sublease, BMI's obligations under this Sublease in respect of such Reserved Space shall cease, including without limitation, its obligation to provide any alarm monitoring data feed. Under no circumstances will BMI be required to account for or pay to TowerCo any amount received from any sublessee or other transferee of any Reserved Space subleased or transferred upon the exercise of a Withdrawal Notice, received prior to the date on which TowerCo exercised its rights under this Section 10(d) in respect of such Reserved Space. TowerCo will have no obligation to lease any such Reserved Space to any third party.

11. Rent.

(a) TowerCo shall pay BMI monthly Rent in respect of the Subleased Property of each Site, for each Site Term Year as provided in this Section 11. Each month during the Term of this Sublease, the applicable Site Payment (as defined below) shall be determined and paid pursuant to this Section 11. If, as to any month, the Aggregate Rent exceeds the Aggregate Site Maintenance Charge (each as defined in Section 11(c)), TowerCo shall pay the amount of such excess to BMI, at the address specified in this Sublease or at such other place as BMI may specify in writing. If, as to any month, the Aggregate Site Maintenance Charge exceeds the Aggregate Rent, BMI shall pay the amount of such excess to TowerCo, at the address specified in this Sublease or at such other place as TowerCo may specify in writing.

(b) Any amount payable by TowerCo or BMI, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 11(a) is referred to herein as a "Site Payment." Each Site Payment shall be due and

-23-

payable, in advance, beginning on the date hereof and continuing on the first day of each succeeding month thereafter throughout the Term.

(c) For purposes of calculating the Site Payment, the following terms shall have the following definitions:

"Aggregate Rent" means the aggregate amount of all Rents for the Sites then subject to this Sublease, which shall be payable by TowerCo to BMI pursuant to this Sublease;

"Aggregate Site Maintenance Charge" means, as to any month in any Sublease Year, (i) the number of Sites subject to this Sublease multiplied by the applicable Site Maintenance Charge, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of the Reimbursable Maintenance Expenses (as defined in Section 30(a)), if any, minus
(iii) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed (A) Taxes and Assessments of BMI or (B) Taxes and Assessments, as applicable, pursuant to Section 16;

"Ground Rents" means, as to any Site (other than an Owned Site), all rents, fees and other charges payable by BMI to the Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease for such Site calculated in accordance with Section 11(d);

"Rent" means, (i) as to any Site other than Owned Sites, the amount of all Ground Rents, and (ii) as to any Owned Site, $1.00;

"Site Maintenance Charge" means, subject to Section 5(d), (i) as to any Site (other than an Existing Louisiana Site), in any Sublease Year, an amount equal to $1,200 per month subject to an increase of the lesser of (x) the applicable CPI Increase plus four percent (4%) or (y) five percent (5%) per year (but never less than zero percent (0%)) on each anniversary of the applicable Site Commencement Date, and (ii) as to any Existing Louisiana Site, in any Sublease Year, an amount equal to $1,300 per month subject to an increase of four percent (4%), on each anniversary of August 1, 1999; in each case, for each month in such Sublease Year, representing a payment by BMI for services performed by TowerCo for the benefit of BMI pursuant to this Sublease.

(d) If the Site Commencement Date for any Site is a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the applicable Ground Rent and Site Maintenance Charge for the period from such Site Commencement Date through the end of the calendar month during which such Site Commencement Date occurs shall be prorated on a daily basis, and shall be included in the calculation of the Ground Rent or Site Maintenance Charge, as the case may be, for the first full calendar month of the Term, on the first day of the first calendar month following such Site Commencement Date.

(e) On each anniversary of the date hereof, and from time to time upon BMI's request, within ten (10) days after BMI's giving of such request, TowerCo shall deliver a certificate duly executed by an officer of TowerCo certifying, as of the date of such certificate, the calculation of the aggregate amount of the Site Payment for such Sublease Year. BMI shall have the right (i) to request any substantiation of any such certification and TowerCo shall

-24-

provide BMI with such substantiation within ten (10) days after such request, and (ii) to audit the books and records of TowerCo relating to each Site from time to time during normal business hours to determine the accuracy of any such certificate and calculation of the Site Payment. BMI shall notify TowerCo in writing of any dispute it may have with TowerCo relating to any such calculation, not later than thirty (30) days after its receipt of such certificate and the Parties shall resolve such dispute within ten (10) days thereafter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time and from time to time at BMI's request, but not less than each calendar month, TowerCo shall provide BMI sufficient back up information necessary to determine whether the calculation of the Site Payment as to each Site is accurate. If TowerCo fails to supply BMI with such information as to any Site, the Site Maintenance Charge for such Site shall be deemed not to exceed the amount of the Ground Rent for such Site; provided, however, that upon submission of such information by TowerCo, BMI shall be liable to TowerCo for the outstanding amount of the Site Maintenance Charge applicable to such Site and BMI shall reimburse TowerCo for any amount BMI may owe to TowerCo.

(f) TowerCo's covenant to pay Rent in respect of the Subleased Property of each Site hereunder is independent of any other covenant, condition, provision or agreement of this Sublease and all payments of Rent shall be payable without previous demand therefor and without any right of abatement, setoff or deduction, counterclaim, or suspension, and in case of nonpayment of any Rent with respect to the Subleased Property of any Site by TowerCo when the same is due, BMI shall have, in addition to all its other rights and remedies, all of the rights and remedies available to BMI under the provisions of this Sublease or at law or in equity in the case of nonpayment of Rent. The performance and observance by TowerCo of all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements to be performed or observed by TowerCo hereunder shall be performed and observed by TowerCo at TowerCo's sole cost and expense. TowerCo shall pay a late charge of five percent (5%) of any monthly Rent payable by TowerCo under the provisions of this Sublease, which shall be paid within ten
(10) days after the date the same is due; provided, however, that the late charge shall not be assessed in respect of the first late payment occurring in any twelve (12) month period. In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, Rent not paid on or before the due date in respect of the Subleased Property of any Site shall be subject to a late charge equal to the amount of any interest or fees that would be payable by BMI if BMI were to make a late payment under the applicable Ground Lease.

(g) BMI shall pay a late charge of five percent (5%) of any Site Payment payable by BMI under the provisions of this Sublease, which shall be paid within ten (10) days after the date the same is due; provided, however, that the late charge shall not be assessed in respect of the first late payment occurring in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if BMI fails to pay any portion of a Site Payment because BMI, acting in good faith, reduced the amount of Site Maintenance Charges payable to TowerCo due to a mistaken belief that it was entitled to Reimbursable Maintenance Expenses under Section 30(a), no late charge shall be payable in respect thereof.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if after the tenth (10th) anniversary of each Site Designation Supplement, the then current Site Maintenance Charge payable by BMI to Tower with respect to any Site is below the market rate agreed upon by the Party at the time of determination, then such Site Maintenance Charge shall automatically be

-25-

increased on such anniversary and on each anniversary thereafter, based on the CPI Increase effective as of date of such anniversary. If, however, the then Site Maintenance Payment with respect to such Site is above the market rate, then such Site Maintenance Charge shall be automatically reset at ninety percent
(90%) of such agreed upon market rate effective as of date of such tenth (10th)
anniversary of the Site Designation Supplement and shall increase on each following anniversary at the then current annual market rate of increase for comparable properties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties shall agree as to the market rate not later than sixty (60) days prior to such tenth anniversary of the applicable Site Designation Supplement. If the parties are unable to agree upon the market rate, then BMI shall have an option, exercisable by written notice to TowerCo, to: (i) refer such dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section 38(e) hereof, or (ii) exercise its Withdrawal Right in accordance with Section 10(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 11(h) with respect to all BTS Sites, shall apply after June 1, 2001.

(i) (i) Subject to Section 11(i)(ii) below, if the Annual Gross Revenues for a Sublease Year in respect of any individual Site exceeds $60,000, then the Site Maintenance Charge in respect of such Site shall be reduced by an amount (the "Site Reduction Amount") equal to twenty percent (20%) of the amount by which the Annual Gross Revenues exceed $60,000, such $60,000 amount being increased from and after the fifth Sublease Year at a rate of 3% per annum. The Site Maintenance Charge shall be reduced each month pursuant to this Section 11(i)(i) in the next subsequent Sublease Year by an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Site Reduction Amount for the immediately preceding Sublease Year; provided, however, that under no circumstances will the Site Maintenance Charge for any Site be reduced to an amount below zero.

(ii) If the Annual Gross Revenues averaged over the average of the number of Sites for any Sublease Year exceeds $56,000, then the Aggregate Site Maintenance Charge shall be reduced by an amount (the "Overall Reduction Amount") equal to (x) the average of the number of Sites during such Sublease Year, multiplied by (y) twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount by which the average Annual Gross Revenues exceed $56,000, such $56,000 amount being increased from and after the fifth Sublease Year at a rate of 3% per annum; provided, however, that (A) if during any Sublease Year, the aggregate Site Reduction Amount exceeds the Overall Reduction Amount, the provisions of Section 11(i)(i) shall apply or (B) if during any Sublease Year, the Overall Reduction Amount exceeds the aggregate Site Reduction Amount, as to any individual Site where the Site Reduction Amount exceeds the average Overall Reduction Amount, the provisions of Section 11(i)(i) shall apply to such Site, the applicable BMI Affiliate shall receive the benefit of such Site Reduction Amount, the amount of any such benefit shall be subtracted from the Overall Reduction Amount and the balance, if any, remaining, shall be applied pursuant to this Section 11(i)(ii) to the other Sites by dividing the balance by the number of such other Sites. Any average number of Sites determined under this Section 11(i)(ii) shall be calculated by adding the number of Sites as of the last day of each calendar month in such Sublease Year and dividing such sum by twelve (12). The Aggregate Site Maintenance Charge shall be reduced each month pursuant to this Section 11(i)(ii) in the next subsequent Sublease Year by an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Overall Reduction Amount for the immediately preceding Sublease Year; provided, however, that under no

-26-

circumstances will the Site Maintenance Charge for any Site be reduced to an amount below zero.

For purposes of this Section 11, the following terms shall have the following definitions:

"Annual Gross Revenues" means, as to any Site, the Gross Revenues in respect of such Site in a Sublease Year.

"Gross Revenues," as to each Site in any Sublease Year, shall be equal to the sum of: (i) an aggregate amount of Space Subtenant Rents payable by all Space Subtenants on such Site in respect of such Sublease Year; plus (ii) the

Site Maintenance Charge payable by BMI with respect to the Reserved Space of such Site in respect of any Sublease Year.

"Space Subtenant Rent," as to each Site, shall be the amount of the rent and other amounts payable each month for the use or occupancy by a Space Subtenant of any Available Space on any Site pursuant to a lease, sublease, license or other possessory interest or right obtained from TowerCo, including without limitation any ongoing monthly payments for the use or occupancy of such Available Space, however characterized. For the purpose of calculating Gross Revenues, any "bolt-on fees" and other up-front payments by such third party ("Up-front Payments") shall be deemed to have occurred on a straight-line basis over 120 months, commencing on the first day of the next month following the month in which the Up-front Payment was made. Separately charged and stated payments for installation or construction services rendered by TowerCo to such Space Subtenant for such Site, valued on the basis of the fair market value of such services, shall be excluded from the calculation of Gross Revenues.

12. Condition of the Sites and Obligations of TowerCo.

(a) TowerCo acknowledges that, as between TowerCo and BMI, in respect of each Site, TowerCo has the obligation, right and responsibility to repair and maintain such Site, including without limitation, an obligation to monitor each Tower to maintain the structural integrity of the Tower and the ability of the Tower to hold and support all Communications Equipment then mounted on the Tower, in accordance with standard industry practices. Subject to the other provisions contained in this Sublease, TowerCo, at its sole cost and expense, except if such cost or expense arises out of a negligent or wrongful act or omission of BMI, shall monitor, maintain and repair each Site such that BMI and Space Subtenants may utilize such Site to the extent permitted herein, including, without limitation, each Tower lighting system (to the extent required by applicable Law) and markings and the structural integrity of each Tower. Installation, maintenance and repair of each Site must comply with all Laws applied in a manner consistent with standard industry practices. TowerCo's duties include, without limitation, subject to the other provisions contained in this Sublease, maintenance of appropriate records and notification to the FAA of any failure on TowerCo's part and repairs and correction of same. TowerCo assumes all responsibilities, as to each Site, for any fines, levies, and/or other penalties imposed as a result of non-compliance with said requirements of said authorities. TowerCo shall maintain and repair each Site, and cause Space Subtenants to maintain and repair all

-27-

Communications Equipment on each Site, in accordance with the requirements of this Sublease including without limitation as set forth in Exhibit C; provided, however, that nothing in this Sublease shall require TowerCo to maintain BMI's Communications Equipment.

(b) For each Site, TowerCo, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain all of the certificates, permits, and other approvals which may be required from any federal, state, or local authority and/or any easements or consents which are required from any third parties with respect to its operation of such Site, including the lighting system serving such Site. BMI shall cooperate with TowerCo in connection therewith, as contemplated by Section 18.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if TowerCo fails to repair any failed lighting pursuant to this Section 12(c), then TowerCo agrees to indemnify, defend and hold each BMI Indemnitee harmless from and against any Claims arising out of or by reason of TowerCo's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 12(c). In addition to and not in limitation of Sections 31(d) and (e), if TowerCo defaults under this Section
12(c), BMI, in addition to its other remedies pursuant to this Sublease, at law, or in equity, may either elect to take appropriate action to repair or replace lights and invoice TowerCo, or terminate this Sublease as to such Site within fifteen (15) days of the occurrence of such default; provided, that such default is not cured within the aforementioned fifteen (15) days period. Without in any way affecting TowerCo's obligations relating to lighting: (i) in order to accommodate TowerCo's needs during the transition period, BMI agrees to monitor the lighting system serving the Towers or the Improvements of the Sites from the respective dates of the Site Designation Supplements until the expiration of two calendar months after the Final Closing Date (as defined in the Agreement to Sublease); (ii) BMI shall have the right, at its expense, to install and maintain equipment for the purpose of monitoring (x) the lighting system serving the Tower or the Improvements of each Site, and/or (y) any device of TowerCo's used to monitor the lighting system serving each Tower; and (iii) TowerCo shall have the right, at its expense, to install and maintain equipment for the purpose of monitoring any device of BMI's used to monitor the lighting system servicing any Tower.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15 to the contrary, in the event any interference occurs in respect of a Site and the source of such interference is not readily determinable, it shall be assumed that TowerCo or a Space Subtenant and not BMI is the cause of such interference, TowerCo shall be responsible for the performance of its obligations under Section 15(c) in respect of such interference, and BMI shall be relieved of any obligations under
Section 15(e) in respect of such interference, unless and until it is determined that BMI is the cause of such interference.

16. Taxes and Assessments. (a) TowerCo is responsible for the payment of, as and when they shall become due and payable, all Taxes and Assessments as to each Site, for each Site Term Year during the term of this Sublease as to such Site.

(b) BMI shall pay all Taxes and Assessments of BMI with respect to the Sites, and TowerCo shall reimburse BMI not later than thirty (30) days after BMI delivers a copy of a notice setting forth the allocation with respect to Taxes and Assessments of BMI to TowerCo, unless otherwise elected by BMI pursuant to Section 16(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties agree that all Taxes and Assessments due and payable by

-34-

TowerCo hereunder and under the BST Lease may be included, at BMI's sole option and discretion exercisable upon written notice to TowerCo, into the calculation of the Aggregate Site Maintenance Charge. If BMI exercises its right to include Taxes and Assessments of BST into the calculation of the Aggregate Site Maintenance Charge hereunder, BMI shall reimburse BST for the amount of such Taxes and Assessments of BST upon BST's request.

17. Utilities. Prior to the Site Commencement Date as to each Site, TowerCo shall make all arrangements for, and thereafter shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due all charges for connection of all utilities and services to such Site, including, but not limited to, electricity, telephone, power, and other utility used or consumed by BMI or its Affiliate occupying the Reserved Space and all Space Subtenants of such Site.

-36-

unsatisfied and undischarged during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom; provided, however, that, if the Subleased Property of any Site or any part thereof are subject to imminent danger of loss or forfeiture by virtue of or by reason of such claim of Lien, such claim of Lien shall be complied with forthwith or BMI shall deposit with TowerCo a sum of money reasonably required by TowerCo as security to protect the Subleased Property of such Site from any such loss or forfeiture. TowerCo, at the sole cost and expense of BMI, shall cooperate fully with BMI in any such contest.

20. Condemnation.

(a) If there occurs a Taking of all or a Substantial Portion of any Site, other than a Taking for temporary use, that impairs or adversely affects BMI's full use and enjoyment of the Reserved Space, then this Sublease shall automatically terminate as to such Site unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, and the Term shall automatically expire as to such Site, on the Date of Taking, as if such date were the Site Expiration Date as to such Site, and all Rent and other sums payable by TowerCo and BMI in respect of such Site shall be apportioned and paid through and including the Date of Taking.

(b) If there occurs a Taking of less than a Substantial Portion of any Site, then this Sublease and all duties and obligations of TowerCo under this Sublease in respect of such Site shall remain unmodified, unaffected and in full force and effect; provided, however, that the Rent in respect of such Site payable after the Taking shall be reduced to an amount which bears the same ratio to the Rent payable immediately prior to the Taking as the rental value of the Subleased Property of such Site after taking bears to the rental value of the Subleased Property of that Site immediately prior to the Taking. TowerCo shall promptly proceed to reconstruct, restore and repair the remaining portion of the Subleased Property of such Site (to the extent feasible) to a condition substantially equivalent to the condition thereof prior to the Taking. TowerCo shall be entitled to apply the Award received by TowerCo to the reconstruction, Restoration and repair of any Subleased Property of any Site from time to time as such work progresses.

TowerCo agrees that BMI may, at BMI's option and election self insure with respect to all or a portion of the risks required to be insured against by BST under this Section 24. If BMI elects to be covered by and participate in its self insurance and risk management programs, BMI shall notify TowerCo of such election. From time to time, upon reasonable request by TowerCo, BMI shall furnish to TowerCo the information concerning its risk management and self insurance policies and programs in effect at the time of such request.

Section 24 under a blanket insurance policy or policies (evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to the other Party shall be delivered to the other Party by the insuring Party) which may cover other properties owned or operated by the insuring Party as well as the Subleased Property or the Available Space; provided, however, that any such policy of blanket insurance shall: (i) specify the amounts thereof to the extent such amounts are used to meet the initial limits required pursuant to this Section 24, it being understood that such specification shall not diminish or limit the availability of the entire amount of the blanket insurance policy; and (ii) provide that such policies of blanket insurance shall, as respects the Subleased Property of each Site, contain the various provisions required of such an insurance policy by the foregoing provisions of this Section 24.

25. Right of Substitution; Right of First Refusal.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and subject, in the case of Sites other than BTS Sites, to the proviso of Section
5(b)(i), BMI shall have the right to modify and/or replace, at BMI's expense, its Communications Equipment at any Site provided said replacement Communications Equipment does not increase the weight or sail area by more than ten percent (10%) of the weight or sail area on the applicable Site Commencement Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if during the Term, there is any Available Space in respect of the Subleased Property of any Site, then BMI shall have the Right of Substitution as to such Available Space, provided that the relocation shall

-44-

not violate the requirements of Section 25(a). The Right of Substitution pursuant to this Section 25(b) may be exercised by BMI at any time, and from time to time, without limit, upon written notice to TowerCo. If BMI elects to exercise its Right of Substitution, then, upon completion of the relocation of the Communications Equipment of BMI on the Tower and Improvements thereon, the previously existing Reserved Space of the applicable Site shall automatically be released by BMI and become a part of the Subleased Property of such Site, subject to the terms of this Sublease, and concurrently therewith, the Available Space on such Site to which the Communications Equipment of BMI has been relocated shall, upon the amendment of the Site Designation Supplement, automatically become and constitute the Reserved Space of such Site subject to
Section 5. The terms of this Section 25(b) shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to evidence any Substitution; provided, however, that upon the request of either BMI or TowerCo, the Parties shall promptly execute such instruments as may be reasonably required to further evidence such Substitution, including without limitation an amendment to the applicable Site Designation Supplement and cause such amendment to be recorded at BMI's cost and expense. BMI shall, at BMI's cost and expense, complete the relocation of its Communications Equipment within [thirty (30)] days of the exercise of its Right of Substitution and return the previously existing Reserved Space to its original condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if during the Term, TowerCo intends to sublease any Available Space of the Subleased Property of any Site to a potential Space Subtenant, TowerCo shall send BMI a copy of any letter-offer, letter of intent, or other correspondence with the potential Space Subtenant together with a summary of the economic terms of the proposed lease or sublease as contained in such documents, which economic terms shall include at least the number and location of all Sites subject to the proposed lease or sublease, the number, type, and location of each antenna on each Tower, the rent payable for such antenna at each location on the Tower (including any escalation provisions), and the term of each Space Subtenant lease or sublease and each of any renewals thereof (the "Economic Offer"). BMI may, in its sole discretion, by providing written notice thereof to TowerCo within ten (10) days after receipt of the Economic Offer from TowerCo (x) exercise its Right of Substitution pursuant to Section 25(b) in respect of such Available Space, or (y) exercise its Right of First Refusal in respect of such Available Space pursuant to Sections 25(e) and (f), or (z) exercise both, if with respect to multiple Sites. If TowerCo intends to sublease Available Space at multiple Sites, BMI shall not be entitled to exercise either its Right of Substitution and/or its Right of First Refusal as to any Available Space unless BMI exercises such Right in respect of a minimum of the greater of (i) five percent (5%) or (ii) two (2) of the total number of Available Spaces for those multiple Sites that TowerCo intends to sublease.

(d) If BMI exercises its Right of Substitution as to any Available Space, then such Available Space shall become the Reserved Space for all purposes of this Sublease and be subject to the provisions of Section 5. If BMI exercises its Right of First Refusal as to such Available Space, then TowerCo shall sublease the Available Space to BMI subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Economic Offer and BMI and TowerCo shall execute a sublease agreement in the form of Exhibit B, as modified to reflect the terms and conditions of the applicable Economic Offer, or in any other form acceptable to TowerCo and BMI and, BMI shall, for all purposes of this Sublease, become a Space Subtenant of such Available Space.

-45-

(e) If BMI fails to notify TowerCo as to its election under Section
25(d), then BMI's options referred to in Section 25(d) with respect to such Available Space shall expire and TowerCo shall be entitled to sublease such Available Space to a potential Space Subtenant upon the terms and conditions contained in the applicable Economic Offer.

(f) If TowerCo exercises its right to sublease any Available Space of any Site to a potential Space Subtenant in accordance with the Economic Offer, whether or not BMI exercises all or part of its Right of Substitution or Right of First Refusal with respect thereto, TowerCo shall promptly provide BMI a copy of the final definitive lease or sublease with the Space Subtenant (the "Final Agreement"). If the economic terms of the Economic Offer are not the same or better than those of the Final Agreement, then, in addition to any other remedies BMI have, BMI may require that any Site Maintenance Charge, if it exercised its Right of Substitution, or rent, if it exercised its Right of First Refusal, and all other economic terms, be reduced to and conformed with those of the Final Agreement.

(g) If such Available Space has not been so subleased to such Space Subtenant within one hundred and twenty (120) days after BMI's receipt of the applicable Economic Offer, then the restrictions provided in this Section 25 shall again become effective with respect to such Available Space, and TowerCo shall have no right to sublease any such Available Space without again offering such Available Space to BMI in accordance with the provisions of this Section 25.

26. Assignment and Subletting.

(a) Without the prior written consent of BMI, TowerCo may not assign this Sublease or any of TowerCo's rights hereunder in whole or in part, or sublet this Sublease in whole, or any of TowerCo's rights hereunder; except that TowerCo may assign this Sublease or sublet all or any portion of the Subleased Property of each Site, without the requirement of any consent by BMI, to a successor corporation or entity, by way of merger, consolidation or other reorganization, or to any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of TowerCo, or to any Person acquiring all or substantially all of TowerCo's assets, or to any Person acquiring and continuing that portion of TowerCo's business operations conducted at or from the Subleased Property; provided, however, in each case that such assignee: (i) is a Permitted TowerCo Transferee; and (ii) is not a BMI Competitor. The foregoing restriction shall not limit the right of TowerCo, without notice to or consent of BMI, to sublease, license or otherwise transfer rights to utilize all or any part of the Subleased Property of any Site or any Available Space on such Site to Space Subtenants.

(b) After the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date hereof, BMI shall have the unrestricted right to sell, convey, transfer, assign, sublease or otherwise dispose of BMI's interest in and to any Site (including BMI's or a BMI Affiliate's interest in and to the Subleased Property of such Site), in whole or in part (a "Transfer"). Prior to the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date hereof, BMI may Transfer BMI's interest in and to any Site (including BMI's or a BMI Affiliate's interest in and to the Subleased Property of such Site), in whole or in part, if any such Transfer is to: (i) a BMI Affiliate; (ii) any Person that is not a BMI Affiliate and does not qualify as a Permitted Transferee (a "Non-Qualifying Transferee"), so long as the aggregate number of Sites that are the subject of one or more Transfers pursuant to this clause (ii) at any time during the Term does not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Sites now or hereafter subject to this Sublease; or (iii) a Permitted Transferee or, subject to the further restrictions set forth in the last paragraph of this

-46-

Section 26(b), a Non-Qualifying Transferee, (x) in connection with a Market Transaction (as hereinafter defined), (y) in connection with the Transfer of a single Site, subject to TowerCo's rights under Section 10(d), or (z) in connection with a Transfer of all or a substantial portion of the Sites subject to this Sublease. In the event of any such Transfer by BMI or a BMI Affiliate, except in the case of a Transfer to a Non-Qualifying Transferee pursuant to clause (iii), all obligations under this Sublease of the Person effecting such Transfer shall cease and terminate, and TowerCo shall look only and solely to the Person to whom or which BMI's or such BMI Affiliate's interest in and to such Site (including BMI's or such BMI Affiliate's interest in and to the Subleased Property thereof or any portion thereof) (a "Transferee") is Transferred for performance of all of BMI's or such Affiliate's duties and obligations under this Sublease.

The term "Market Transaction" means any Transfer of Site(s) between BMI or BMI Affiliates, on the one hand, and other providers of telecommunications services who are not BMI Affiliates, on the other hand, for the primary purpose of allowing BMI or a BMI Affiliate to enter a new market, to expand an existing market, to exit an existing market, or to exit part of an existing market, including, without limitation, any transfer of Sites(s) by BMI or BMI Affiliates to other providers of telecommunications services who are not BMI Affiliates within one or more geographic locations, in each case regardless of whether such market is defined in terms of geographic locations or new services.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Transfer by BMI or a BMI Affiliate pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 26(b) to a Non-Qualifying Transferee, BMI or such BMI Affiliate shall remain liable under this Sublease for such Non-Qualifying Transferee's performance of BMI's obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if either (x) such Non-Qualifying Transferee ultimately becomes a Permitted Transferee or (y) no unwaived event of default on the part of such Non-Qualifying Transferee occurs in respect of such Sites for three (3) years after the date of such Transfer to such Transferee, BMI or such BMI Affiliate, as applicable, shall be released from any and all obligations under this Sublease as to such Sites, pursuant to Section 26(c), and upon BMI's request TowerCo shall confirm such release in writing.

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 26(b), wherever under or in connection with this Sublease BMI assigns its right, title or interest, in whole or in part, in or to this Sublease or any Site, BMI shall be released from performing any and all obligations under this Sublease in respect of the right, title or interest so assigned and under the applicable Ground Lease, from and after the date of such assignment, subject only to BMI's receipt of any consent or approval required from the applicable Ground Lessor, and TowerCo hereby acknowledges such release. At or prior to any partial assignment of this Sublease, BMI and such assignee shall have entered into one or more agreements, including without limitation, a sublease and site designation supplements (collectively, the "New Sublease Documents"), that afford BMI and BMI Affiliates relative rights (including, without limitation, provisions relating to the calculation of the Site Payment and the right of BMI to act for TowerCo), vis-a- vis BMI's rights and obligations under the New Sublease Documents no less favorable to BMI than those afforded by the Sublease and the Site Designation Supplements with respect to the rights and obligation of BMI and any BMI Affiliate, and are otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BMI.

-47-

(d) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Sublease, any assignment of interest pursuant to this Sublease shall be effectuated by ten (10) days' written notice of such assignment, which notice shall include the name, address, and telephone number of assignee. Each Party hereby agrees that any attempt of the other Party to assign its interest in this Sublease or any of its rights hereunder, in whole or in part, in violation of
Section 26(a) shall constitute a default under this Sublease and shall be null and void ab initio.

27. Estoppel Certificate. Either Party, from time to time upon ten
(10) days' prior request by the other Party, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting Party, or to a person designated by such requesting Party, a certificate stating that this Sublease is unmodified and in full effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Sublease is in full effect as modified, and setting forth such modifications) and the dates to which Rent and other sums payable under this Sublease have been paid, and either stating that to the knowledge of the signer of such certificate no default exists hereunder or specifying each such default of which the signer has knowledge. The requesting Party, at such Party's cost and expense, shall cause such certificate to be prepared for execution by the requested Party. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective Mortgagee or purchaser of the Subleased Property of each Site.

28. Holding Over. If TowerCo remains in possession of the Subleased Property of any Site after expiration or termination of the then current Term as to such Site without any express written agreement by BMI, then TowerCo shall be and become a tenant at sufferance, and there shall be no renewal or extension of this Sublease by operation of law.

29. Rights of Entry and Inspection. (a) TowerCo shall permit BMI and BMI's representatives, agents and employees to enter the Subleased Property of any Site at all reasonable times for the purposes of inspecting such Subleased Property, showing the Site to prospective purchasers, tenants and Mortgagees, making any repairs or replacements or performing any maintenance, and performing any work on the Site that BMI may consider necessary to prevent or cure deterioration, waste or unsafe conditions. Nothing in this Section 29 shall imply or impose any duty or obligation upon BMI to enter upon any Site at any time for any purpose, or to inspect the Subleased Property at any time, or to perform, or pay the cost of, any work which TowerCo is required to perform under any provision of this Sublease, and BMI has no such duty or obligation.

(b) BMI shall permit TowerCo and TowerCo's representatives to inspect BMI's Communications Equipment for the purpose, in the event of an Emergency only, for making repairs or replacements to address such Emergency. The foregoing shall not limit TowerCo's rights pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

30. A Party's Right to Act for the Other Party.

(a) In addition to and not in limitation of any other remedy BMI may have under this Sublease, if TowerCo fails to make any payment or to take any other action when and as required under this Sublease, including without limitation Section 12(a) and Exhibit C, BMI may, without demand upon TowerCo and without waiving or releasing TowerCo from any duty, obligation or liability under this Sublease, make any such payment or take any such other action required of TowerCo. Unless TowerCo's failure results in or relates to an Emergency, BMI shall

-48-

give TowerCo at least ten (10) days prior written notice of BMI's action and TowerCo shall have the right to cure such failure within such 10-day period. No such notice shall be required in the event of an Emergency. The actions which BMI may take shall include, but are not limited to, the performance of maintenance or repairs and the making of replacements to the Towers and Improvements on each Site, the payment of insurance premiums which TowerCo is required to pay under this Sublease and the payment of Taxes and Assessments which TowerCo is required to pay under this Sublease, other than Taxes and Assessments that are paid by BMI pursuant to Section 16(b) and reimbursed in the calculation of the Site Maintenance Charge. BMI may pay all incidental costs and expenses incurred in exercising its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, penalties, re-instatement fees, late charges, and interest. One hundred twenty percent (120%) of the total amount of the costs and expenses (including salaries and benefits of BMI employees charged on a one time basis but excluding any overhead) attributable to BMI's rights under this Section 30, is referred to as the "Reimbursable Maintenance Expenses" of BMI. All amounts paid by BMI pursuant to this Section
30(a), and all costs and expenses incurred by BMI in exercising BMI's rights under this Section 30(a), shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date of payment by BMI until paid by TowerCo.

(b) If BMI fails to pay any Ground Rent or to make any other payment or to take any other action when and as required under this Sublease, TowerCo may, without demand upon BMI and without waiving or releasing BMI from any duty, obligation or liability under this Sublease, pay any such Ground Rent, make any such other payment or take any such other action required of BMI. Unless BMI's failure results in or relates to an Emergency, TowerCo shall give BMI at least ten (10) days prior written notice of TowerCo's action. No such notice shall be required in the event of an Emergency. The actions which TowerCo may take shall include, but are not limited to, the payment of insurance premiums which BMI is required to pay under this Sublease and the payment of Taxes and Assessment which BMI is required to pay under this Sublease. TowerCo may pay all incidental costs and expenses incurred in exercising its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, penalties, reinstatement fees, late charges, and interest. All amounts paid by TowerCo pursuant to this Section 30(b), and all costs and expenses incurred by TowerCo in exercising TowerCo's rights under this Section 30(b), shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date of payment by TowerCo and shall be payable by BMI to TowerCo upon demand. For purposes of this Section, the term "Emergency" means any event that causes, has caused or is likely to cause: (i) as to BMI or a BMI Affiliate, any bodily injury, personal injury or property damage; (ii) as to BMI or a BMI Affiliate, suspension, revocation, termination or any other adverse material effect on BMI's or such Affiliates' licenses and/or permits; (iii) as to BMI, any adverse effect on the ability of BMI or its Affiliate to operate its Communication Facility on such Site; (iv) as to TowerCo, any adverse effect on the ability of TowerCo to operate its Subleased Property on such Site; and (v) as to TowerCo, a termination of the Ground Lease with respect to such Site.

-49-

31. Defaults and Remedies.

(a) The following events shall constitute events of default by BMI:

(i) If BMI fails to timely pay Ground Rent as provided in
Section 3(h) within any applicable grace period thereunder or to perform any other material obligations pursuant to the applicable Ground Lease for a Site that BMI is expressly required to perform pursuant to the terms of this Sublease and shall not cure such failure by the later of (x) the expiration of any applicable cure period, or (y) thirty (30) days after TowerCo gives BMI written notice thereof; or

(ii) if BMI shall violate or breach, or shall fail fully and completely to observe, keep, satisfy, perform and comply with, any agreement, term, covenant, condition, requirement, restriction or provision of this Sublease in respect of any Site (which violations, breaches or failures may be different for each Site), and shall not cure such violation, breach or failure within thirty (30) days after TowerCo gives BMI written notice thereof, or, if such failure shall be incapable of cure within thirty (30) days, if BMI shall not commence to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period and continuously prosecute the performance of the same to completion with due diligence; or

(iii) Subject to Section 31(i), BMI breached any material representation or warranty in this Sublease as to any Site as of the date when made.

(iv) if BMI becomes insolvent as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code under the Laws applicable to this Sublease or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or if any action is brought by BMI seeking its dissolution or liquidation of its assets or seeking the appointment of a trustee, interim trustee, receiver or other custodian for any of its property; or if BMI commences a voluntary proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code; or if any reorganization or arrangement proceeding is instituted by BMI for the settlement, readjustment, composition or extension of any of its debts upon any terms; or if any action or petition is otherwise brought by BMI seeking similar relief or alleging that it is insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature; or if any action is brought against BMI seeking its dissolution or liquidation of any of its assets, or seeking the appointment of a trustee, interim trustee, receiver or other custodian for any of its property, and any such action is consented to or acquiesced in by BMI or is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date upon which it was instituted; or if any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code is instituted against BMI and (1) an order for relief is entered in such proceeding, or (2) such proceeding is consented to or acquiesced in by BMI or is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date upon which it was instituted; or if any reorganization or arrangement proceeding is instituted against BMI for the settlement, readjustment, composition or extension of any of its debts upon any terms, and such proceeding is consented to or acquiesced in by BMI or is not

-50-

dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date upon which it was instituted; or if any action or petition is otherwise brought against BMI seeking similar relief or alleging that it is insolvent, unable to pay its debts as they mature or generally not paying its debts as they become due, and such action or petition is consented to or acquiesced in by BMI or is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the date upon which it was brought.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event of default by BMI under Section
31(a)(iv), TowerCo may terminate this Sublease by giving BMI written notice of termination, and this Sublease shall be terminated at the time designated by TowerCo in its notice of termination to BMI. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by BMI under Sections 31(a)(i)-(a)(iii) as to the Reserved Space of a Site, TowerCo may terminate this Sublease as to such Site by giving BMI written notice of termination, and this Sublease shall be terminated as to the applicable Site at the time designated by TowerCo in its notice of termination to BMI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if BMI fails to pay any portion of a Site Payment because BMI, acting in good faith, reduced the amount of Site Maintenance Charges paid to TowerCo in giving effect to a mistaken belief that it made Reimbursable Maintenance Expenses under Section 30(a) that BMI was not permitted to make, such failure shall not constitute an event of default hereunder. Upon TowerCo's demand after any resolution of any dispute as to the amount of such Reimbursable Maintenance Expenses, BMI shall pay such amount to TowerCo, with interest thereon at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, from the date such amount was due until the date paid.

(c) TowerCo's remedy stated in Section 31(b) above shall not preclude pursuit of any other remedy or remedies provided in this Sublease or any other remedy or remedies provided for or allowed by law or in equity, separately or concurrently or in any combination.

(d) The following events shall constitute events of default by TowerCo:

(i) If TowerCo fails to make payment of any Rent or other amount hereunder and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after the date such payment was due and payable; or

(ii) (x) TowerCo shall violate or breach, or shall fail fully and completely to observe, keep, satisfy, perform and comply with, any term, covenant, condition, requirement, restriction or provision of this Sublease with respect to any Site (which violations, breaches or failures may be different for each Site), and shall not cure such violation, breach or failure within thirty (30) days after BMI gives TowerCo written notice thereof, or, if such failure shall be incapable of cure within thirty (30) days, if TowerCo shall not commence to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period and continuously prosecute the performance of the same to completion with due diligence, or (y) the aggregate amount of Reimbursable Maintenance Expenses in respect of any Site pursuant to Section 30(a) exceeds $2,000 on at least two occurrences within the same

-51-

Sublease Year, whether or not reimbursed by TowerCo or included in the calculation of the Site Payment; or

(iii) Subject to Section 31(i), any representation or warranty made by TowerCo in this Sublease or any Site Designation Supplement shall be false or misleading in any material respect on the date as of which made (or deemed made); or

(iv) TowerCo or CCIC shall violate or breach, or shall fail fully and completely to observe, keep, satisfy or perform any obligation for money borrowed in connection with this Sublease, including, without limitation, Mortgages, or any obligation under notes payable or drafts accepted, or any obligation of any other agreement, term or condition contained in any indenture or agreement under which any such obligation is created, guaranteed or secured if the effect of such default is to cause such obligation to become due prior to its stated maturity; or

(v) If TowerCo becomes insolvent as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code under the Laws applicable to this Sublease or any Site or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or if any action is brought by TowerCo seeking its dissolution or liquidation of its assets or seeking the appointment of a trustee, interim trustee, receiver or other custodian for any of its property; or if TowerCo commences a voluntary proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code; or if any reorganization or arrangement proceeding is instituted by TowerCo for the settlement, readjustment, composition or extension of any of its debts upon any terms; or if any action or petition is otherwise brought by TowerCo seeking similar relief or alleging that it is insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature; or if any action is brought against TowerCo seeking its dissolution or liquidation of any of its assets, or seeking the appointment of a trustee, interim trustee, receiver or other custodian for any of its property, and any such action is consented to or acquiesced in by TowerCo or is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date upon which it was instituted; or if any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code is instituted against TowerCo and (1) an order for relief is entered in such proceeding, or (2) such proceeding is consented to or acquiesced in by TowerCo or is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date upon which it was instituted; or if any reorganization or arrangement proceeding is instituted against TowerCo for the settlement, readjustment, composition or extension of any of its debts upon any terms, and such proceeding is consented to or acquiesced in by TowerCo or is not dismissed within ninety
(90) days after the date upon which it was instituted; or if any action or petition is otherwise brought against TowerCo seeking similar relief or alleging that it is insolvent, unable to pay its debts as they mature or generally not paying its debts as they become due, and such action or petition is consented to or acquiesced in by TowerCo or is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the date upon which it was brought.

-52-

(e) Upon the occurrence of any event of default by TowerCo under
Section 31(d) or Section 12(c) in respect of any Site, BMI may terminate this Sublease as to the applicable Site by giving TowerCo written notice of termination, and this Sublease shall be terminated as to such Site, at the time designated by BMI in its notice of termination to TowerCo, unless otherwise provided herein. Upon the occurrence of unwaived events of default (whether of the same or different types) by TowerCo under Section 31(d) in respect of more than fifty (50) Total Sites during any consecutive five (5) year period, BMI may terminate this Sublease as to all Sites, by giving TowerCo written notice of termination, and this Sublease shall be terminated as to all Sites at the time designated by BMI in its notice of termination to TowerCo.

(f) BMI's pursuit of any remedy or remedies provided in this Sublease, including without limitation Section 31(e), or any remedy or remedies provided for or allowed by law or in equity, separately or concurrently or in any combination, including, without limitation, (i) specific performance or other equitable remedies; (ii) money damages arising out of such default; (iii) BMI may exercise the Withdrawal Right as to any Site immediately and without further act, pursuant to Section 10; or (iv) BMI may perform, on behalf of TowerCo, TowerCo's obligations under the terms of this Sublease pursuant to
Section 30, in which event BMI shall have the right to set off all Reimbursable Maintenance Expenses against the Site Payment BMI is required to make. If the amount of Reimbursable Maintenance Expenses exceeds the Site Payment payable by BMI hereunder and TowerCo does not reimburse BMI the full amount of such excess within ten (10) days following BMI's written demand therefor, BMI may terminate this Sublease in respect of all or any of the Sites pursuant to Section 31(e).

(g) A Party's pursuit of any one or more of the remedies provided in this Sublease shall not constitute an election of remedies excluding the election of another remedy or other remedies, or a forfeiture or waiver of any Site Payment, Rent or other amounts payable under this Sublease as to the applicable Site by such Party or waiver of any relief or damages or other sums accruing to such Party by reason of the other Party's failure to fully and completely keep, observe, perform, satisfy and comply with all of the agreements, terms, covenants, conditions, requirements, provisions and restrictions of this Sublease. TowerCo shall be entitled to injunctive relief and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in respect of any event of default by BMI under Section 3(h). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall be liable to the other parties for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits, however arising, even if a Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

(h) Either Party's forbearance in pursuing or exercising one or more of its remedies shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any event of default or of any remedy. No waiver by either Party of any right or remedy on one occasion shall be construed as a waiver of that right or remedy on any subsequent occasion or as a waiver of any other right or remedy then or thereafter existing. No failure of either Party to pursue or exercise any of it's powers, rights or remedies or to insist upon strict and exact compliance by the other Party with any agreement, term, covenant, condition, requirement, provision or restriction of this Sublease, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms of this Sublease, shall constitute a waiver by

-53-

either Party of the right to demand strict and exact compliance with the terms and conditions of this Sublease.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no event of default shall be deemed to have occurred in respect of BMI under Section 31(a)(iii) or in respect of TowerCo under Section 31(d)(iii), if the other Party gives notice after one
(1) year following:

(i) the applicable Site Commencement Date in the case of a representation or warranty made under this Sublease or the applicable Site Designation Supplement, as to any Site;

(ii) the date hereof, in the case of any other representation or warranty made under this Sublease; or

(iii) in the case of representation or warranty made under the Agreement to Sublease, as provided therein.

32. Quiet Enjoyment. TowerCo shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease, peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Subleased Property of each Site during the Term without hindrance or interruption from BMI, so long as TowerCo fully and completely keeps, observes, performs, satisfies and complies with all of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions, requirements, provisions and restrictions of this Sublease to be kept, observed, performed, satisfied and complied with by TowerCo and pays all Rent and other amounts required to be paid by TowerCo under this Sublease and any other agreements between BMI and TowerCo.

33. No Merger. There shall be no merger of this Sublease or the subleasehold interest or estate created by this Sublease in any Site with the superior estate held by the Lessor thereof, by reason of the fact that the same person or entity may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, both the subleasehold interest or estate created by this Sublease in any Site and such superior estate; and this Sublease shall not be terminated, in whole or as to any Site, except as expressly provided herein.

34. Broker and Commission.

(a) All negotiations in connection with this Sublease have been conducted by and between TowerCo and BMI without the intervention of any person or other Party as agent or broker.

(b) TowerCo and BMI warrant and represent to each other that there are no broker's commissions or fees payable in connection with this Sublease by reason of their respective dealings, negotiations or communications. TowerCo and BMI shall, and do hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless each other from and against the Claims, demands, actions and judgments of any and all brokers, agents and other intermediaries alleging a commission, fee or other payment to be owing by reason of their respective dealings, negotiations or communications in connection with this Sublease.

-54-

35. Recording of Site Designation Supplement. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Agreement to Sublease, upon the execution of this Sublease, TowerCo shall, at its cost and expense (i) cause the Ground Leases or memorandum of Ground Leases for the Sites to be filed in the appropriate County property records, unless such Ground Leases expressly prohibit such recording; and (ii) promptly following the execution of each Site Designation Supplement for any Site, cause such Site Designation Supplement to be filed in the appropriate County property records.

(b) In addition to and not in limitation of any other provision of this Sublease, the Parties shall have the right to review and make corrections, if necessary, to any and all exhibits to the Site Designation Supplements after the date hereof. After making such corrections, TowerCo shall re-record any such Site Designation Supplements to reflect such corrections, if requested by BMI or BMI Affiliate. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to cause changes to be made in the documentation for any Site, and in the Site Designation Supplement for such Site, if such changes are requested by BMI or BMI Affiliate to evidence any permitted changes in the description of the Reserved Space respecting such Site, including, without limitation changes in BMI's or such BMI Affiliate's antennas or other parts of its Communications Facility at such Site. In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, BMI or any BMI Affiliate shall have the right, at its sole expense, to cause any amendment to a Site Designation Supplement to be recorded, including without limitation in connection with such changes.

36. Compliance with Specific FCC Regulations.

(a) TowerCo understands and acknowledges that Space Subtenants are engaged in the business of operating communications equipment, including, without limitation, Communications Equipment at each Site. The Communications Equipment is subject to the regulations of the FCC, including without limitation regulations regarding exposure by workers and members of the public to the radio frequency emissions generated by BMI's Communications Equipment. TowerCo acknowledges that such regulations prescribe the permissible exposure levels to emissions from the Communications Equipment which can generally be met by maintaining safe distances from such Communications Equipment. In order to comply with such regulations, TowerCo shall install, or cause the Space Subtenants to install, at its or their expense, such marking, signage or barriers to restrict access to any Subleased Property of each Site as TowerCo deems necessary in order to comply with the applicable FCC regulations. TowerCo further agrees to post, or to cause the Space Subtenants to post, prominent signage at all points of entry to the Subleased Property of each Site containing instructions as to any potential risk of exposure and methods for minimizing such risk. TowerCo shall cooperate in good faith with BMI to minimize any confusion or unnecessary duplication that could result in similar signage being posted with respect to any of BMI's transmission equipment at or near any Site in respect of any Reserved Space on such Site.

(b) TowerCo further agrees to alert all personnel working at or near each Site, including TowerCo's maintenance and inspection personnel, to heed all of TowerCo's or Space Subtenant's signage or restrictions with respect to the Subleased Property of a Site, to maintain the prescribed distance from the Communications Equipment, and to otherwise follow the posted instructions. TowerCo further agrees to alert each Space Subtenant in advance of any repair or

-55-

maintenance work to be performance on any Site which would require work in closer proximity to the Subleased Property than prescribed by the signage or restrictions.

(c) TowerCo agrees to cooperate with each Space Subtenant on a going- forward basis with respect to each Site in order to insure that such Space Subtenant complies with the applicable FCC regulations.

(d) BMI acknowledges and agrees that its Communications Equipment at each Site is subject to the regulations of the FCC, including without limitation regulations regarding exposure by workers and members of the public to the radio frequency emissions generated by BMI's Communications Equipment. BMI acknowledges that such regulations prescribe the permissible exposure levels to emissions from its Communications Equipment which can generally be met by maintaining safe distances from such Communications Equipment. BMI shall cooperate in good faith with TowerCo to minimize any confusion or unnecessary duplication that could result in similar signage being posted with respect to any of BMI's transmission equipment at or near any Site in respect of any Reserved Space on such Site.

(e) BMI further agrees to alert all personnel working at or near each Site, including BMI's maintenance and inspection personnel, to maintain the prescribed distance from the Communications Equipment, and to otherwise follow the posted instructions of TowerCo.

37. CCIC's Guaranty.

(a) CCIC unconditionally guarantees to BMI the full and timely payment and performance and observance of all of the terms, provisions, covenants and obligations of TowerCo under this Sublease and each Site Designation Supplement (the "Obligations"). CCIC agrees that if TowerCo defaults at any time during the Term of this Sublease and any Site Designation Supplement in the performance of any of the Obligations, CCIC shall faithfully perform and fulfill all Obligations and shall pay to BMI all attorneys' fees, court costs, and other expenses, costs and disbursements incurred by BMI on account of any default by TowerCo and on account of the enforcement of this guaranty.

(b) If TowerCo defaults under this Sublease or any Site Designation Supplement, and BMI elects to enforce the provisions of this Section 37, BMI shall promptly give CCIC written notice thereof, which notice shall constitute an exercise of BMI's rights against CCIC pursuant to this Section 37. Following the receipt of such notice by CCIC, CCIC shall have the same period of time as is afforded to TowerCo under this Sublease or the applicable Site Designation Supplement to cure such default, but no such cure period shall diminish the obligations of CCIC under this Section 37.

(c) This guaranty obligation of CCIC shall be enforceable by BMI in an action against CCIC without the necessity of any suit, action, or proceedings by BMI of any kind or nature whatsoever against TowerCo, without the necessity of any notice to CCIC of TowerCo's default or breach under this Sublease or the applicable Site Designation Supplement, and without the necessity of any other notice or demand to CCIC to which CCIC might otherwise be entitled, all of which notices CCIC hereby expressly waives. CCIC hereby agrees that the validity of this guaranty and the obligations of CCIC hereunder shall not be terminated,

-56-

affected, diminished, or impaired by reason of the assertion or the failure to assert by BMI against TowerCo any of the rights or remedies reserved to BMI pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease or the applicable Site Designation Supplement or any other remedy or right which BMI may have at law or in equity or otherwise.

(d) CCIC covenants and agrees that this guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty. The liability of CCIC hereunder shall not be affected, modified, or diminished by reason of any assignment, renewal, modification or extension of this Sublease and any Site Designation Supplement or any modification or waiver of or change in any of the covenants and terms of this Sublease or any Site Designation Supplement by agreement of BMI and TowerCo, or by any unilateral action of either BMI or TowerCo, or by an extension of time that may be granted by BMI to TowerCo or any indulgence of any kind granted to TowerCo, or any dealings or transactions occurring between BMI and TowerCo, including, without limitation, any adjustment, compromise, settlement, accord and satisfaction, or release, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership, or trusteeship affecting TowerCo. CCIC does hereby expressly waive any suretyship defense it may have by virtue of any statute, law, or ordinance of any state or other governmental authority.

(e) All of BMI's' rights and remedies under this guaranty are intended to be distinct, separate, and cumulative and no such right and remedy herein is intended to be the exclusion of or a waiver of any other.

(f) CCIC hereby waives presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and notice of acceptance. CCIC further waives any right to require that an action be brought against TowerCo or any other person or to require that resort be had by BMI to any security held by BMI.

38. General Provisions.

(a) Notices. Whenever any notice, demand or request is required or permitted under this Agreement, such notice, demand or request shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, be sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or be sent by nationally recognized commercial courier for next business day delivery, to the addresses set forth below, or to such other addresses as are specified by written notice given in accordance herewith, or shall be transmitted by facsimile to the number for each Party set forth below their respective executions hereof, or to such other numbers as are specified by written notice given in accordance herewith. All notices, demands or requests delivered by hand shall be deemed given upon the date so delivered; those given by mailing as hereinabove provided shall be deemed given on the date of deposit in the United States Mail; those given by commercial courier as hereinabove provided shall be deemed given on the date of deposit with the commercial courier; and those given by facsimile shall be deemed given on the date of facsimile transmittal. Nonetheless, the time period, if any, in which a response to any notice, demand or request must be given shall commence to run from the date of receipt of the notice, demand or request by the addressee thereof. Any notice, demand or request not received because of changed address or facsimile number of which no notice was given as hereinabove provided or because of refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed received by the Party to whom addressed on the date of hand

-57-

delivery, on the date of facsimile transmittal, on the first calendar day after deposit with commercial courier, or on the third calendar day following deposit in the United States Mail, as the case may be.

(j) Non-Waiver. Failure by any Party to complain of any action, non- action or breach of any other Party shall not constitute a waiver of any aggrieved Party's rights hereunder.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 1st day of June, 1999, by and between BELLSOUTH MOBILITY INC, a Georgia corporation ("BMI"), and CROWN CASTLE INTERNATIONAL CORP., a Delaware corporation ("COMPANY").

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, this Agreement is made pursuant to that certain Agreement to Sublease dated as of the date hereof (the "Agreement to Sublease"), among BMI, Company, BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc., Crown Castle South Inc. and certain transferring entities.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Certain Definitions.

(a) As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

"BAM Registration Rights" shall mean the registration rights granted in respect of the BAM Shares.

"BAM Shares" shall mean the shares of common stock of Crown Castle International Corp. initially issued pursuant to Formation Agreement dated as of December 8, 1998 and that constitute Registrable Shares as that term is defined in the registration rights granted in respect of such shares in such Formation Agreement.

"Commission" shall mean the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The terms "register," "registered" and "registration" refer to a resale registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such registration statement.

"Registrable Shares" shall mean those shares that are (a) (i) issued to BMI, any Transferring Entity (as defined in the Agreement to Sublease) or any BMI Affiliate (as defined in the Agreement to Sublease) pursuant to the Agreement to Sublease (the "BellSouth Shares") and (ii) any securities issued or issuable in respect of BellSouth


Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, distribution, reorganization, merger, consolidation, consideration, exchange, recapitalization or other similar event occurring following the date of the Agreement and (b) "restricted securities" as defined in rule 144(a) (3) under the Securities Act.

"Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses, other than Selling Expenses, incurred by Company in complying with Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof, including without limitation, all registration and filing fees, listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for Company, fees and expenses (including counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, costs of insurance and fees and disbursements of one counsel for the sellers of Registrable Shares.

"Stockholders" shall mean those individuals and entities listed in Schedule I to the Stockholders Agreement.

"Selling Expenses" shall mean all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof and, except for the fees and disbursements of one counsel as included in Registration Expenses, the costs of any counsel retained by or on behalf of the holders of such Registrable Securities.

"Stockholders Agreement" shall mean the Stockholders Agreement dated as of the 21st of August, 1998 among Company and each of the Stockholders listed in Schedule I thereto.

SECTION 2. "Piggy-Back" Registration. If Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or any successor or similar forms thereto and other than pursuant to a registration under Section 3), each such time it will give written notice to all holders of outstanding Registrable Shares of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of any such holder, received by Company within twenty (20) days after the giving of any such notice by Company, to register any of its Registrable Shares, Company will, except as provided below, cause the Registrable Shares as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by Company, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the holder of such Registrable Shares so registered. In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of securities, the number of securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced if and to the extent that the managing underwriter shall be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold therein as follows: First, all persons (other than Company, the requesting holders of Registrable Shares, the requesting holders of BAM Shares and the requesting

2

Stockholders) who have requested shares to be registered shall be reduced in the manner provided by Company. In the event that the number of shares requested to be registered after such reduction shall still be in excess of the number of shares recommended to be registered by the underwriters, then the number of shares shall be further reduced pro rata among the requesting holders of Registrable Shares according to the number of shares requested by each such holder to be registered. In the event the number of shares requested to be registered after such reduction shall still be in excess of the number of shares recommended to be registered by the underwriters then the number of shares shall be reduced among the requesting holders of BAM Shares in accordance with the BAM Registration Rights. In the event the number of shares requested to be registered after such reduction shall still be in excess of the number of shares recommended to be registered by the underwriters then the number of shares shall be reduced among the requesting Stockholders in accordance with Article IV of the Stockholders Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Company may withdraw any registration statement referred to in this Section 2 without thereby incurring any liability to the holders of Registrable Shares. There shall be no limit to the number of registrations of Registrable Shares which may be effected under this Section 2.

SECTION 3. Demand Registration.

(a) The holders of the Registrable Shares at any time after the date of the Agreement and prior to the time Company is eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 or similar short-form registration, may request Company to register under the Securities Act all or a portion of the Registrable Shares held by them for sale in the manner specified in such notice; provided that (i) the reasonably anticipated aggregate net proceeds to the sellers from such public offering would exceed $30,000,000 and (ii) subject to
Section 3(c), no such request may be made more than once every nine months. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no request may be made under this Section 3 within 90 days after the effective date of a registration statement filed by Company covering a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the holders of Registrable Shares shall have been entitled to join pursuant to Section 2 and in which there shall have been effectively registered all Registrable Shares as to which registration shall have been requested. Company shall be obligated to register the Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 3(a) on three (3) occasions only; provided, however, that such obligations shall be deemed satisfied only when a registration statement covering all of the Registrable Shares specified in the notices received as aforesaid, for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting holders, shall have become effective and, if such method of disposition is a firm commitment underwritten public offering, all such shares shall have been sold pursuant thereto unless any such registration statement does not become effective due to the withdrawal of 66 2/3% of the Registrable Shares to be registered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Company is entitled to use Form S-3 or similar short-form registration but later is unable to do so, then to the extent the holders have not exercised their three demand rights under this Section 3(a), they shall be eligible to do so under this Section 3(a) until such time as Company again is entitled to use Form S-3 or similar short-form registration.

3

(b) Following receipt of any notice under this Section 3, Company shall immediately notify all holders of Registrable Shares from whom notice has not been received that a request for registration pursuant to Section 3(a) has been received and shall use its best efforts to register under the Securities Act, for public sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in such notice from the requesting holders, the number of shares of Registrable Shares specified in such notice (and in all notices received by Company from other holders within twenty (20) days after the giving of such notice by Company). If such method of disposition shall be an underwritten public offering, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares to be sold in such offering may designate the managing underwriter of such offering, subject to the approval of Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) Company shall be entitled to include in any registration statement referred to in this Section 3, for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting holders, shares of Company's securities to be sold by Company for its own account, and shares of any other person having registration rights with respect to Company's securities except as and to the extent that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter (if such method of disposition shall be an underwritten public offering), such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the Registrable Shares to be sold, then the number of shares to be registered and sold shall be reduced as follows:
First, the shares of Company securities requested to be registered by shareholders with "piggyback" or other registration rights (other than the Stockholders, the holders of BAM Shares and the holders of the Registrable Shares) shall be reduced at the direction of Company in accordance with the opinions of the underwriters participating in the public offering. In the event that the elimination of all of such shares is not sufficient to reduce the number of shares of Company's securities to be registered to the number recommended by the underwriters, then the number of shares to be registered by Company shall then be reduced. In the event that the number of shares requested to be registered after such reduction shall still be in excess of the number of shares requested to be registered by the underwriters, then the number of shares of Registrable Shares shall be reduced pro rata according to the number of shares requested by each such holder to be registered. In the event the number of shares requested to be registered after such reduction shall still be in excess of the number of shares recommended to be registered by the underwriters, then the number of shares shall be reduced among the requesting holders of BAM Shares in accordance with the BAM Registration Rights. In the event the number of shares requested to be registered after such reduction shall still be in excess of the number of shares recommended to be registered by the underwriters, then the number of shares shall be reduced among the requesting Stockholders in accordance with Article IV of the Stockholders Agreement. In the event the number of shares requested to be registered by the holders of Registrable Shares under this Section 3 is reduced to any extent as a result of this Section 3(c), then (i) the holders of Registrable Shares shall not be deemed to have exercised a demand right pursuant to this Section 3, (ii) the holders of Registrable Shares shall be entitled to make another request to register all or a portion of the Registrable Shares at anytime after 30 days after the date of the initial request and (iii) Company shall

4

use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement pursuant to a request made under (ii) above as promptly as possible. Except as provided in this Section 3 and except for registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or any successor or similar forms thereto and except for a registration statement being filed as a result of a request made pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Company will not file with the Commission any other registration statement with respect to its equity securities, whether for its own account or that of other stockholders, from the date of receipt of a notice from requesting holders pursuant to this Section 3 until ninety (90) days after the commencement of the public offering of the Registrable Shares covered by the registration statement requested pursuant to this Section 3.

SECTION 4. Registration on Form S-3. The holders of Registrable Shares may request at any time that Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto for a public offering of all or any portion of the Registrable Shares provided that (i) the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of the Registrable Shares to be offered would exceed $30,000,000 (or such lower amount in the case of a request by the holder to register the balance of the Registrable Shares), and (ii) Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 or any successor thereto to register such Registrable Shares. Promptly following receipt of any notice under this Section 4, Company shall use its best efforts to register under the Securities Act on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto, for public sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in such notice, the number of shares of Registrable Shares specified in such notice. Whenever Company is required by this Section 4 to use its best efforts to effect the registration of Registrable Shares, each of the procedures and requirements of Section 3 and 5 (including but not limited to the requirement that Company notify all holders of Registrable Shares from whom notice has not been received and provide them with the opportunity to participate in the offering, subject to the priority provisions set forth therein) shall apply to such registration. There is no limit on the number of requests that can be made pursuant to this Section 4, subject to such requests meeting the requirements set forth above.

SECTION 5. Registration Procedures. If and whenever Company is required by the provisions of Sections 2, 3 or 4 to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such securities, which in the case of Section 3 shall be on Form S-1 or other available form satisfactory to the holders with respect to such securities, and cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period specified in Section 5(i);

(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for the period specified in paragraph (i) below and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with

(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers of Registrable Shares or, in the case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter reasonably shall request; provided, however, that Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(e) use its best efforts to list the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange or market on which the securities of Company, if applicable, is then listed or quoted or, if the Registrable Shares are not then listed on a securities exchange, and if the NASD is reasonably likely to permit the inclusion of the Registrable Shares on NASDAQ, use its best efforts to facilitate the inclusion of the Registrable Shares on NASDAQ;

(f) immediately notify each seller of Registrable Shares and each underwriter under such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

(g) at the request of any seller of Registrable Shares, use its best efforts to furnish on the date that Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration: (i) an opinion dated such date of counsel representing Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and to such seller, stating that such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and that (A) to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act, (B) the registration statement, the related prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act (except that such counsel need not express any opinion as to financial statements contained therein) and (C) to such other effects as reasonably may be requested by counsel for the underwriters or by

6

such seller or its counsel and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants retained by Company, addressed to the underwriters and to such seller, stating that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial statements of Company included in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act, and such letter shall additionally cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period ending no more than five (5) business days prior to the date of such letter) with respect to such registration as such underwriters reasonably may request;

(h) (i) make available for inspection by each seller of Registrable Shares, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of Company, (ii) cause Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement and (iii) provide each seller and its counsel with the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement;

(k) use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or any qualification referred to in paragraphs (j) (ii) and (j) (iii) at the earliest possible moment;

(l) if any event contemplated by paragraph (f) shall exist, subject to Section 10, prepare and furnish to such sellers a post-effective amendment to the registration statement or supplement to the prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchaser of the Registrable Shares, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein

7

or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(m) not later than the effective date of the registration statement, provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Shares and provide the applicable transfer agent or agents with printed certificates or instruments for the Registrable Shares which are in a form eligible for deposit with Depository Trust Company or other transferee and otherwise meeting the requirements of any securities exchange or other trading market on which such Registrable Shares are listed or traded; and

(n) enter into such agreements and take such other actions as the sellers of Registrable Shares and the underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Shares including, without limitation, preparing for and participating in, such number of "road shows" and all such other customary selling efforts as the underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate such disposition. In connection with each registration hereunder, the sellers of Registrable Shares will furnish to Company in writing such information with respect to themselves and the proposed distribution by them as shall be reasonably necessary in order to assure compliance with Federal and applicable state securities laws. In connection with each registration pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4 covering an underwritten public offering, Company and each seller agree to enter into a written agreement with the managing underwriter selected in the manner herein provided in such form and containing such provisions as are customary in the securities business for such an arrangement between such underwriter and companies of Company's size and investment stature (it being understood that Company will not require a selling stockholder to make any representation, warranty or agreement in such agreement other than with respect to such stockholder, the ownership of such stockholder's securities being registered and such stockholder's intended method of disposition). The representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, Company to and for the benefit of the underwriters in such written agreement with the underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of the selling stockholders. In the event that any condition to the obligations under any such written agreement with the underwriters is not met or waived, and such failure to be met or waived is not attributable to the fault of the selling stockholders requesting a demand registration pursuant to Section 3, such request for registration shall not be deemed exercised for purposes of determining whether such registration has been effected for purposes of Section 3.

SECTION 6. Expenses. All Registration Expenses shall be borne by Company whether or not the registration statement has become effective. All Selling Expenses shall be borne by the participating sellers in proportion to the number of shares sold by each, or by such participating sellers other than Company (except to the extent Company shall be a seller) as they may agree.

SECTION 7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4, Company will indemnify and hold harmless each seller of such Registrable Shares thereunder, each underwriter of such Registrable Shares thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such seller or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such seller, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each such seller, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing by such seller, such underwriter or such controlling person specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.

(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4, each seller of such Registrable Shares thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless Company, each person, if any, who controls Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of Company who signs the registration statement, each director of Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that such seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in reliance upon and

9

in conformity with information pertaining to such seller, as such, furnished in writing to Company by such seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus; and provided further, however, that the liability of each seller hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the shares sold by such seller under such registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the proceeds received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 7 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this
Section 7 if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any indemnified party exercising rights under the Agreement, or any controlling person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 7 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 7 provides for indemnification in such case, (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 7, or
(iii) the

10

indemnification provided for by this Section 7 is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein; then, and in each such case, Company and such holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative fault referred to in clause (x) above but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party and the indemnified party from the offering of the securities (taking into account the portion of the proceeds of the offering received by each such party) as well as the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities and any other relevant equitable considerations. No holder of Registrable Shares will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the proceeds received by such holder in respect of all such Registrable Shares offered and sold by it pursuant to such registration statement and no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

SECTION 8. Changes in Common Stock; Successor. (a) If, and as often as, there is any change in the Common Stock by way of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Common Stock as so changed.

(b) If Company consolidates or merges into or with, another person or sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or a majority of its assets to any person or group, or any person or group consolidates with, or merges into or with, Company, each holder of Registrable Shares shall, as a condition to the relevant transaction involving such person, group or successor in business, be granted by such person, group or successor in business (each a "Successor"), equivalent rights granted in hereunder.

SECTION 9. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of Registrable Shares to the public without registration, at all times ninety (90) days after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, Company agrees to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

11

(b) use its best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) furnish to each holder of Registrable Shares forthwith upon request a written statement by Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of such Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such holder to sell any Registrable Shares without registration.

SECTION 10. Suspension of Registration Obligations. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3(c) (as the same may be applicable under Section 4) and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(a), (i) Company's obligation to file a registration statement, or cause such registration statement to become and remain effective (a) may be suspended on one occasion for a period not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days if there exists at the time material nonpublic information relating to Company which, in the reasonable opinion of Company, should not be disclosed (b) shall not apply for the period which begins seven days prior to and ends 90 days after the commencement of a public offering of securities, so long as Company has fulfilled its notice obligations under Sections 2, 3 or 4 with respect to such offering and (ii) if a public offering of securities has been previously commenced, neither the Company nor any controlling person of the Company shall commence another public offering of the securities until 90 days after the commencement of such prior offering.

SECTION 11. Other Stockholders and Registration Rights. From and after March 5, 1999, through the date hereof, Company has not amended any registration rights agreement or grant of registration rights in effect on March 5, 1999, nor has it granted any additional demand or piggyback registration rights to any individual or entity. The Company hereby represents that, other than pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, a letter agreement granting Robert and Barbara Crown a separate demand registration right and the BAM Registration Rights, the Company has not granted any persons any registration rights in respect of the common stock of the Company or security convertible into common stock. The Company shall not permit any additional parties to be designated as "Stockholders" under the Stockholders Agreement, except for transferees of Stockholders permitted under the Stockholders Agreement. The Company agrees that it will not enter into any registration rights with any person that include provisions designed to circumvent the provisions of these registration rights.

SECTION 12. Transferability of Registration Rights. Registration rights conferred herein on the holders of Registrable Shares shall inure to the benefit of their successors and transferees.

12

SECTION 13. Withdrawals. Any holder of Registrable Shares may at any time withdraw any request made pursuant to Section 2, 3 or 4 for registration of its Registrable Shares; provided, however, that to the extent that such withdrawal or withdrawals result in a termination of any offering proposed to be made pursuant to Section 3 or 4, Company shall be deemed, for purposes of determining the continuing rights of holders of Registrable Shares hereunder, to have consummated such offering for purposes of Section 3 or 4 unless such holder(s) agree to (and actually do) reimburse Company for all Registration Expenses incurred by Company in connection with such terminated offering. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 13 shall not be applicable in the event that any such withdrawal(s) resulting in such termination is or are effected on account of (a) Company's failure to disclose any material fact required to be disclosed in the registration statement or any prospectus relating to such offering or (b) any material adverse change in Company, its business, assets or condition (financial or other).

SECTION 14. General Provisions.

(a) Remedies. Each holder of Registrable Shares, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, in connection with the breach by Company of its obligations to register the Registrable Shares will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Company acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b) Notices. Whenever any notice, demand or request is required or permitted under this Agreement, such notice, demand or request shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, be sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or be sent by nationally recognized commercial courier for next business day delivery, to the addresses set forth below, or to such other addresses as are specified by written notice given in accordance herewith, or shall be transmitted by facsimile to the number for each party set forth below, or to such other numbers as are specified by written notice given in accordance herewith.

Nonetheless, the time period, if any, in which a response to any notice, demand or request must be given shall commence to run from the date of receipt of the notice, demand or request by the addressee thereof. Any notice, demand or request not received because of changed address or facsimile number of which no notice was given as hereinabove provided or because of refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed received by the party to whom addressed on the date of hand delivery, on the date of facsimile transmittal, on the first calendar day after deposit with commercial courier, or on the third calendar day following deposit in the United States

13

Mail, as the case may be. The address for any transferee of the Registrable Shares shall be the most current address given by such holder to Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14(b).
