(b) because the Equipment is interfering with or adversely affecting proper
operation of LICENSOR-owned Poles, traffic signals, communications, or other

expense and to the satisfaction of the LICENSOR: (a) remove, repair or replace any
of its Equipment that is damaged or becomes detached; and/or (b) repair any
damage to ROW, Municipal Facilities or other property, whether public or private,
caused by LICENSEE, its agents, employees or contractors in their actions relating
to attachment, operation, repair or maintenance of Equipment. If LICENSEE does

Facilities or other property, the LICENSOR shall have the option, upon 30 days'
prior written notice to LICENSEE, to perform or cause to be performed such
removal, repair, or replacement on behalf of LICENSEE and shall charge
LICENSEE for the actual costs incurred by the LICENSOR. If such damage causes
a public health or safety emergency as reasonably determined by the LICENSOR,

within fourty-eight hours (48) of notification. The LICENSOR may immediately
perform reasonable and necessary repair or removal work on behalf of LICENSEE
and will notify LICENSEE as soon as practicable; provided, no such repair work
involves reattachment of LICENSEE's Equipment to a Pole or repair of the Pole
itself, and shall not include any technical work on LICENSEE's Equipment. Upon
the receipt of a demand for payment by the LICENSOR, LICENSEE shall within
30 days of such receipt reimburse the LICENSOR for such costs. The terms of this
provision shall survive the expiration, completion or earlier termination of this
Agreement.
6.6 Change in Equipment. If LICENSEE proposes to install Equipment which
is different in any material way from the then-existing and approved Equipment,
then LICENSEE shall first obtain the written approval for the use and installation
of the unauthorized Equipment from an authorized representative of the
LICENSOR, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. In addition to any other submittal requirements, and if requested by
LICENSOR, LICENSEE shall provide "load" (structural) calculations for all Poles
upon which it intends to install Equipment in the ROW, notwithstanding original
installation or by way of Equipment type changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
LICENSEE may modify its Equipment with like-kind or similar Equipment without
prior written approval of the LICENSOR.
6.7 Termination of a Supplement. LICENSEE shall have the right to
terminate any Supplement on thirty (30) days notice to LICENSOR. In the event
of such termination, LICENSEE shall remove its Equipment in accordance with
§6.8 below and LICENSOR shall retain any Fee paid to such date.
6.8 Removal of Equipment. Within 60 days after the expiration or earlier
termination of a Supplement, LICENSEE shall promptly, safely and carefully
remove the Equipment from all Municipal Facilities and ROW. Such obligation of
LICENSEE shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
If LICENSEE fails to complete this removal work pursuant to this Section, then the
LICENSOR, upon written notice to LICENSEE, shall have the right at the
LICENSOR's sole election, but not the obligation, to perform this removal work
and charge LICENSEE for the actual costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable administrative costs. LICENSEE shall pay to the
LICENSOR actual costs and expenses incurred by the LICENSOR in performing
any removal work and any storage of LICENSEE's property after removal within
thirty days of the date of a written demand for this payment from the LICENSOR.
After the LICENSOR receives the reimbursement payment from LICENSEE for
the removal work performed by the LICENSOR, the LICENSOR shall promptly
make available to LICENSEE the property belonging to LICENSEE and removed
by the LICENSOR pursuant to this Section at no liability to the LICENSOR. If the
LICENSOR does not receive reimbursement payment from LICENSEE within
such thirty days, or if LICENSOR does not elect to remove such items at the
LICENSOR's cost after LICENSEE's failure to so remove pursuant to this Section,
or if LICENSEE does not remove LICENSEE's property within 30 days of such
property having been made available by the LICENSOR after LICENSEE's
payment of removal reimbursement as described above, any items of LICENSEE's
property remaining on or about the ROW, Municipal Facilities, or stored by the
LICENSOR after the LICENSOR's removal thereof may, at the LICENSOR's
option, be deemed abandoned and the LICENSOR may dispose of such property in
any manner by Law. Alternatively, the LICENSOR may elect to take title to
abandoned property, provided that LICENSEE shall submit to the LICENSOR an
instrument satisfactory to the LICENSOR transferring to the LICENSOR the
ownership of such property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

subject to the terms of this Agreement bears all risks of loss or damage or relocation
or replacement of its Equipment and materials installed in the ROW or on
Municipal Facilities pursuant to this Agreement from any cause, and the
LICENSOR shall not be liable for any cost of replacement or of repair to damaged
Equipment, including, without limitation, damage caused by the LICENSOR's
removal of the Equipment, except to the extent that such loss or damage was caused
by the willful misconduct or negligence of the LICENSOR, including, without
limitation, each of its elected officials, department directors, managers, officers,
agents, employees, and contractors, subject to the limitation of liability provided in
§7.2 below.

except to the extent arising from or caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the
LICENSOR, its LICENSOR Commission members, officers, employees, agents, or

7.1 Waiver of Claims. LICENSEE waives any and all claims, demands, causes
of action, and rights it may assert against the LICENSOR on account of any loss,
damage, or injury to any Equipment or any loss or degradation of the
Telecommunications Services or Information Service as a result of any event or
occurrence which is beyond the reasonable control of the LICENSOR.
7.2 Waiver of Subrogation. The parties hereby waive and release any and all
rights of action for negligence against the other which may hereafter arise on
account of damage to Municipal Facilities, Wireless Telecommunication System or
to the ROW, resulting from any fire, or other casualty of the kind covered by
standard fire insurance policies with extended coverage, regardless of whether or
not, or in what amounts, such insurance is now or hereafter carried by the parties,
or either of them. These waivers and releases shall apply between the parties and
they shall also apply to any claims under or through either party as a result of any
asserted right of subrogation. All such policies of insurance obtained by either
party concerning the Municipal Facilities, Wireless Telecommunication System or
the ROW shall waive the insurer's right of subrogation against the other party.
7.3 Limitation on Consequential Damages. Neither party shall be liable to
the other, or any of their respective agents, representatives, employees for any lost
revenue, lost profits, loss of technology, rights or services, incidental, punitive,
indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of data, or interruption or loss of
use of service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, whether under
