period (the "First Renewal Term"), unless Company provides the City at least ninety (90) days' written
notice of its intent not to renew prior to the end of the Initial Terin or unless the franchise between the
parties is terminated. At the expiration of the First Renewal Term, this Agreement will automatically renew

parties shall modify such terms as deemed reasonably necessary by the City to ensure the public health,
safety and welfare. A Site Lease Addendum shall not extend this Agreement; each Site Lease Addendum
shall terminate with the expiration or termination of this Agreement, unless this Agreement is extended by
mutual agreement of the parties.
Compensation
6.1. Prior to execution of this Agreement, Company shall pay a one-time fee for the City's
actual incurred administrative costs related to the development of this Agreement, as provided in a Fee
Schedule pertaining to the siting of Small Wireless Facilities approved by City Council, and as may be
amended from time to time by the City Council (the "Fee Schedule"). If the amount of administrative costs
exceed the amount on the Fee Schedule, then the Company shall pay to the City such additional, reasonable
and documented costs within thirty (30) days of an invoice by the City.
6.2. Company is permitted, but not required, to reserve up to ten (10) City Poles at any one
time, prior to submitting a Site Lease Addendum for such City Pole. This reservation will expire six (6)
months from the date of reservation (the "Reservation Period"), unless Company has submitted a Site Lease
Addendum for the specific City Pole. The fees associated with reserving the City Pole shall be in
accordance with the Fee Schedule. The City will not approve a Site Lease Addendum from another
applicant for any reserved pole during the Reservation Period.
6.3. Company shall be responsible for paying a non-refundable administrative fee for the
processing and review of the Site Lease Addenda as further described in the Fee Schedule (the
"Administrative Fee") for each City Pole requested in a Site Lease Addendum submitted for review and
approval. The Administrative Fee shall be submitted with every Site Lease Addendum as a prerequisite to
begin review of the Site Lease Addendum. Company shall have the right to amend the Site Lease
Addendum to correct errors or provide additional information without having to pay a second
Administrative Fee. Any additional, reasonable and documented costs incurred by the City in excess of the
Administrative Fee shall be paid by the Company within thirty (30) days of an invoice by the City. The
Administrative Fee may be modified based on the City's analysis of actual costs as described in the Fee
Schedule.
6.4. Company shall pay to the City the Rent for each Site Lease Addendum, in advance, on the
first day of January through the Term of the Agreement, without any prior notice or demand therefor, and
without deduction, offset, abatement, or setoff. "Rent" in the year in which the Site Lease Addendum is
submitted to the City shall be included in the Administrative Fee, unless Rent is increased as described in
Section 6.5 below; thereafter, the Rent is as described in the Fee Schedule, as may be amended by the City
Council. As of the date of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Rent will be based upon actual cost to the
City or $270, unless Section 6.5 applies. Rent shall be due regardless of whether Company has installed
the Site Equipment on the City Pole, provided that the City has approved the Site Lease Addendum for the
City Pole.
{DPK2428001.DOCX;2/13104.080004/ 1 6
6.5. If the Federal Communications Commission's Declaratory Ruling published in the federal
register on October 15, 2018 ("Declaratory Ruling") as it pertains to fees for the usage of City Poles is
repealed, modified or overturned, in a manner which allows the City to charge additional fees beyond actual
costs to the City, the parties agree that Rent shall increase to the fair market value for the use of the City
Poles as determined by the City in the Fee Schedule, as may be amended by the City Council. If the
Company disagrees with the new Rent amount it may utilize the arbitration process described in RCW
35.21.860, provided that it requests arbitration within thirty (30) days of the approval of the revised Fee
Schedule by the City Council. The increase in Rent for all City Poles in which Company has an approved
Site Lease Addendum shall be due sixty (60) days after the City issues the revised Fee Schedule. Rent in
the year in which the Site Lease Addendum is submitted to the City shall be paid in full by the Company
upon receipt of an approved Site Lease Addendum from the City, and not prorated for a partial year. If
after implementation of the increased Rent rate, applicable law is modified so that the increased Rent rate
is no longer consistent with applicable law ("Change of Law"), then the Parties agree to promptly amend
the Agreement to revise the increased Rent rate consistent with such Change of Law effective as of the date
the Change of Law occurred.
6.6. Rent is due annually on or before the 1 st of January for the coming year. The Rent as
described in Section 6.5 will increase as of January 1st of each successive year by adding an adjustment
equal to the greater of the Consumer Price Index for Seattle -Tacoma -Bellevue or three percent (3%) over
the Rent paid for the immediately preceding year.
6.7. Company is responsible for and agrees to reimburse the City for electrical service for its
Site Equipment. The reimbursement of such electrical services shall be paid to the City if required by the
City's electric utility. Company agrees to place an electrical meter on the City Pole if required by the City
to determine electrical usage and if permitted by the local utility provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Company reserves the right to contract directly with the City's electric utility for the provision of electrical
service to its Site Equipment.
6.8. Rent shall be delivered or mailed to the City of Federal Way, attn: Public Works
Department. Rent payment must reference the pole location and assigned site identification number.
6.9. Receipt of any Rent or other fees by the City, with knowledge of any breach of this
Agreement by Company, or of any default on the part of Company in the observance or performance of any
of the conditions or covenants of this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any provision of this
Agreement nor limit the City's remedies to address such breach or default.
6.10. If after the end of the Term, Company continues to maintain Site Equipment on the City
Poles without entering into a new license with City, and/or City has not provided written notice to Company
that the Agreement will not be renewed, Company shall become a tenant whose occupancy may be
terminated upon thirty (30) days written notice. Company shall pay Rent during the hold over period for all
Site Lease Addenda in the amount of One Hundred -Fifty percent (150%) of the annual Rent (the "Holdover
Rate").
6.11. If any sums payable to City under this Agreement are not received by the City on or before
the fifth (5th) day following its due date, Company agrees to pay interest compounded at the rate of one
percent (1 %) per month from the due date or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is greater, but not
to exceed eighteen percent (18%) in any event for all Site Lease Addenda for which payment was not
received. Where a check is returned to the City by a bank or other financial institution with the indication
that the check cannot be honored, there shall be a fee assessed to Company based on the current statutory
maximum allowed. City and Company agree that such charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of
the costs incurred by City by reason of late payments and uncollectible checks, and the failure by Company
{DPK2428001.DOCX;2/13104.080004/ 1 7
to pay any such charges by no later than thirty (30) days after Company's receipt of written demand
therefore by City shall be a default under this Agreement. City's acceptance of less than the full amount of
any payment due from Company shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, waiver, or compromise of
such payment unless specifically agreed to in writing by City.
6.12. City hereby agrees to provide to Company certain documentation (the "Rental
Documentation") evidencing City's interest in, and right to receive payments under, this Agreement,
including a complete and fully executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or equivalent, for any party
to whom rental payments are to be made pursuant to this Agreement. From time to time during the Term
of this Agreement and within thirty (30) days of a written request from Company, City agrees to provide
updated Rental Documentation in a form reasonably acceptable to Company.
7. Taxes Assessments & Utilities. In addition to the Rent, Company shall pay annually in advance
to the City the then current, applicable leasehold excise tax, unless the Company is centrally assessed by
the State of Washington and provides documentation, that is acceptable to the City, of its central assessment,
which evidence shall then be attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D. If Company is centrally assessed by
the State of Washington and Company provides satisfactory evidence of its central assessment to City, then
for any and all periods that Company reports the property as operating property, as defined in RCW
84.12.200, Company will not be required to pay leasehold excise tax to City. Should the City collect from
Company and pay to the Department of Revenue leasehold excise tax which is subsequently determined to
be a duplicate payment or over -payment of tax by Company, Company shall not have any claim against the
City, but shall look directly to the Department of Revenue for reimbursement.
8. Permits
8.1. Prior to performing any construction, maintenance or repair work on the City Poles, the
Company shall secure all necessary federal (including any FCC or FAA requirements), state and local
permits and approvals (collectively referred to hereinafter as "Government Approvals") at its sole expense.
The City hereby authorizes Company to make any and all applications and/or submissions necessary to
obtain all Government Approvals from all applicable governmental and/or regulatory entities required for
construction, maintenance, or operation of the Site Equipment on the City Poles. Notwithstanding the
above, the City has certain obligations and procedures as a municipality, including but not limited to
permitting procedures, zoning requirements and Council approval requirements, and nothing in this
Agreement shall be interpreted or applied to deprive the City of the exercise of its administrative or quasi-
judicial discretion in any Governmental Approval process, or prevent it from otherwise adhering to its
procedures or exercising its obligations under the FWRC.
8.2. Company must obtain Governmental Approvals for each Site Lease Addendum prior to the
commencement of any build -out of the Site Equipment. Company shall complete installation of its Site
Equipment and commence operations within one (1) year after receipt of Government Approvals. No Site
Equipment shall be permitted on the City Poles prior to the granting of such Governmental Approvals.
Failure of Company to complete installation, commence operation of the applicable Site Equipment, or
apply for Governmental Approvals, as provided above, shall allow the City to terminate the affected Site
Lease Addendum upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Company. Company may request, in writing, an
extension of the timelines listed in this Section 8.2 for up to an additional three (3) months, provided it has
received Government Approvals and commenced installation, which extension shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(DPK2428001.DOCX;2/13104.080004/ }
Non -Interference with City Poles
9.1. The City shall not be responsible for interference with the Company's Site Equipment
caused by the electronics equipment of the City or any senior lessee or licensee on the City Poles. If such
interference occurs and cannot be remedied within thirty (30) days after notice, then the Company may
cancel the Site Lease Addendum pursuant to Section 29.2.1, without penalty.
9.2. Company has an obligation to cooperate with other users of the City Poles to remedy
interference. Further, Company may not cause harmful interference (as defined in 47 C.F.R. Section 90.7,
47 C.F.R. Section 101.3, and the radio frequency regulations for any other equipment or technology which
is present at the subject City Pole) with the equipment of the City or of senior lessees or licensees. City
usage may include operation of wireless transceivers attached to City Poles. Within seventy-two (72) hours
after notice, Company shall remedy interference caused by Company's Site Equipment. Failure of
Company to remedy such interference shall be cause for the City to either disconnect power to the Site
Equipment on the specific City Pole or terminate the Site Lease Addendum consistent with Section 28.1.
9.3. Outside of the historic and/or primary use, which includes but is not limited to traffic
control infrastructure, emergency management, street lighting, and decorative features such as planters and
banners, including future planned primary use of the City Poles, the City shall not use, nor shall the City
permit its tenants, employees, or agents to use any portion of the City Poles that are subject of a Site Lease
Addendum in any way which materially interferes with the operations of Company authorized by this
Agreement. Such new interference shall be terminated within seventy-two (72) hours upon written notice
to the City. Notwithstanding the foregoing nothing in this Section shall be construed to imply that Company
is seeking or entitled to an exclusive license with the City which will interfere with the historic, and/or
primary use, including future primary use of the City Poles by the City.
9.4. The City agrees that it will require any other subsequent occupants outside of the historical
uses of the City Poles, which historical uses shall include emergency management, to provide to Company
and the City the same assurances against interference, and any subsequent occupants outside the historical
uses of the City Poles shall have the same obligation to eliminate any harmful or unreasonable interference
with the operations of Company caused by the subsequent occupants. To the extent any Company Site
Equipment interferes or disturbs equipment owned by any third party, Company shall notify such third
party directly and shall make good faith efforts to resolve the matter with such third party prior to involving
the City.
10. Radio Frenuenev Interference Stud
10.1. Company must comply with all laws, including all laws relating to the allowable presence
of or human exposure to Radiofrequency Radiation ("RFs") or Electromagnetic Fields ("EMFs") on or off
the City Poles, including all applicable FCC standards, whether such RF or EMF presence or exposure
results from the Site Equipment alone or from the cumulative effect of the Site Equipment added to all other
sources on or near the City Poles. Company shall, at its own cost and expense, perform an RF emissions
test following installation to validate that the Site Equipment, once installed, complies with the FCC
standards.
10.2. If, after Company initiates operation of its Site Equipment, the City has reason to believe
that Company's operation of its Site Equipment has caused or is causing any electrical, electromagnetic,
radio frequency, or other harmful interference with the operation and use of any other authorized
communications facilities on the City Poles, whether operated by the City, emergency network or another
pre-existing lessee, user or occupant with rights prior in time to Company, upon notice, Company shall
promptly commence curative measures until the interference has been corrected to the reasonable
(DPK2428001.DOCX;2/13104.080004/ ) 9
satisfaction of the City of the facilities being interfered with. If such interference has not been corrected
within thirty (30) days of Company's receipt of the initial notice from City, Company shall remove the
interfering equipment, or portions thereof causing the interference. If, after removal, the interference
continues, then Company or City may terminate the Site Lease Addendum upon thirty (30) days' notice to
the other party and neither party shall have any further obligations or responsibilities under the Site Lease
Addendum.
10.3. Company shall not affix or mount any antennas, devices, equipment or related material, in
any manner or in any location which would cause degradation in the operation or use of communications
systems at the City Poles which serve the City or other users. This would include but not be limited to
adversely impacting the received or transmitted signal strength or patterns of any systems at the site serving
the needs of the City. If at any time the operation of Company's Site Equipment interferes with the
reception or transmission of public safety, utility or traffic signalization communications, Company shall
immediately cease operation of the site or the specific portion of the Site Equipment causing the interference
until such time as the interference is corrected.
11. City Poles Access & Securi
Company shall comply with the following:
11.1. Company is hereby granted a non-exclusive right to access the City Poles for maintenance,
operation and/or repair of the Site Equipment. Company is required to pull all applicable permits for
maintenance, operation, and/or repair (for example, right of way use permits).
11.2. Except in an emergency situation, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
perform such repairs during such hours as will minimally interfere with the City's primary use of the City
Poles. Company is required to give forty-eight (48) hours advance notice to the City before accessing the
City Poles to perform normal/regular maintenance of the Site Equipment or such other period of time as
required by the Blanket Annual Right -of -Way Permit.
11.3. Company shall be permitted access to the Site Equipment without being required to give
notice in the event of an emergency, provided that the Company shall submit to the City, no later than forty-
eight (48) hours after the emergency, or if such 48-hour period falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following
business day, a written report describing the emergency and the reason(s) why immediate access to the City
Poles was required. In the event of (i) a public emergency, such as, but not limited to, road failure,
evacuation, natural disasters, hazardous substance spills, fatal or serious injury accidents, and/or (ii) during
City use at the City Poles, Company's access may, at the reasonable discretion of the City, be temporarily
limited or restricted; provided, that any temporary limitation or restriction in Company's access shall be
restored as soon as the circumstances shall allow, as determined by the City, in its sole discretion.
11.4. Company shall designate a Site Equipment Manager or a Local Government Affairs
Designee, and a secondary contact person to serve as the primary point of contact for the City with regard
to Site Equipment located on City Poles. The contact information for such contacts is attached hereto as

12. Hazardous Materials
Company shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, stored, used, released or
disposed of on the City Poles which would cause the City Poles to be in violation of any applicable laws or
which would require remediation or correction to the City Poles. "Hazardous Materials" means any
dangerous, toxic or harmful substance, material or waste that is or becomes regulated by any local
government authority, the State of Washington, or the United States Government due to its potential harm
to the health, safety or welfare of humans or the environment. Company shall be responsible for all spills
or other releases of any Hazardous Materials that may occur on the City Poles arising out of Company's
activities or caused by the Company, its employees, contractors, subcontractors, or invitees. At Company's
sole cost, Company shall promptly conduct any investigation and remediation as required by any applicable
laws.
13. Pole Replacement.
13.1. Upon adoption of a city standard small wireless facility pole design(s) within the Public
Works Engineering & Construction Standards, the Company shall utilize such pole design or may request
modifications to the standard pole design to accommodate its small wireless facility without substantially
changing the outward visual and aesthetic character of the design. The Company, upon a showing that use
or modification of the standard pole design is either technically or physically infeasible, or that the modified
pole design will not comply with the City's ADA, sidewalk clearance requirements and/or would violate
electrical or other safety standards, may deviate from the adopted standard pole design and propose a
different pole design that is consistent with the requirements of the FWRC.
13.2. Company shall bear all costs for all Make -Ready work, including installing Site
Equipment, replacing or retrofitting existing City Poles and running all electrical and telecommunications
wiring and conduit to the City Pole. Such costs shall include, but are not limited to, costs for dismantling,
removal and disposal of the existing City Poles and appurtenances in compliance with the FWRC, removal
and replacement of foundation, replacement streetlight, placement and/or replacement of junction boxes to
non-skid boxes, placement of additional conduit, and geotechnical analysis (as appropriate for soil and
foundation stability, etc.), applicable restoration of the right-of-way, replacement of hardscape, vegetation
or other existing urban design features impacted by the work. Any such replacement shall be subject to
prior approval by the City and approved as part of the Site Lease Addendum. If Company or a third party,
other than City or Company, acting on Company's behalf would have to rearrange or adjust any of its
facilities in order to accommodate the Site Equipment, Company shall be responsible, at Company's sole
expense, to coordinate such activity and to pay any such third party for any related expenses. If Company
is requested by a third party who has the right to be on the City Pole, to relocate or adjust any Site Equipment
to accommodate that third party's facilities, subject to City's written approval of such relocation, Company
shall reasonably cooperate with such request.
13.3. The design and appearance of any such replacement poles will need to be approved by City
through a Site Lease Addendum prior to installation. The approval of the Site Lease Addendum shall be
conditioned on the completion of all Make -Ready Work needed to establish full compliance with the latest
{DPK2428001.DOCX,2/13104.080004/ } I I
edition of the National Electric Safety Code, and with City's regulatory rules and the Public Works
Engineering & Construction Standards, and any applicable ADA requirements.
13.4. Upon inspection and acceptance by the City, the Company agrees to assign ownership of
any replacement pole (together with the foundation and related access conduits, handholds, etc.) to the City,
and prepare any ancillary documentation or agreement. City may require Company to deliver written
evidence (reasonably acceptable to the City) of the deed of dedication of the replacement pole (together
with the foundation and related access conduits, handholds, etc.), along with the assignment of any
warranties applicable to the replacement pole, including, without limitation, manufacturer's, installation,
and other service provider warranties.
13.5. Where City approves the installation of a replacement pole, the pre-existing pole and
foundation must be removed, to the extent required by the City, by Company within ten (10) business days
after the installation of the replacement pole and restored to a condition equal to or better than existed prior
to such removal.
13.6. Company shall not place any advertising or lighting devices in, on or about the City Poles,
unless such signs or lighting are a part of the design of the pole and provide a public benefit as approved
by the City. Examples of installations providing a public benefit include wayfinding signage and civic
banners. However, Company is required to place a sticker with the contact name and number so that the
City can contact the Company as necessary for repairs and in emergency situations.
13.7. A prototype for a City Pole with Site Equipment may be required to be constructed at a site
designated by the City for the City's review and approval prior to installation of a Small Wireless Facility
on a City Pole, only if there is a deviation from the standard small wireless facility pole design, in order to
establish the design and technical feasibility of the Company's Site Equipment, such technical feasibility
shall include, but is not limited to, testing for interference with traffic control devices, electrical equipment,
lighting, and wireless transceivers. In the alternative to providing a prototype within the City, Company
may provide the City with the site location of an existing small wireless facility with the proposed pole
design, provided such site location is within forty (40) miles of the City.
13.8. Any replacement pole must include a method by which the City may install a City -standard
pole on the replacement pole foundation, in order to ensure that the City can continue to provide street
lighting if such replacement pole were ever removed. This can be achieved by either following the same
bolt pattern as the existing City Poles, by providing adapter plates to the City, or through another mutually
agreeable method, in order to ensure that the City may install a standard Federal Way street light pole on
the same foundation in case of knock -down, abandonment, or other reason in which the pole needs to be
replaced.
14. Maintenance/Stewards-hi
14.1. Company shall, at its own expense and at all times, keep the Site Equipment in good order,
repair and condition and keep and use the City Poles in accordance with all laws. Company shall permit or
cause no waste, damage or injury to the City Poles. Company is responsible for any damage caused to City
Poles by Company and shall coordinate with City an appropriate schedule and plans for repairs to any
damaged City Poles. City acknowledges and agrees that Company shall not be responsible for ongoing
maintenance of lighting on any City Poles.
14.2. City shall have no obligation to the Company to maintain or safeguard the City Poles,
except that City shall not intentionally permit access to the Site Equipment to any third party without the
prior approval of Company, except as otherwise provided herein or in an emergency situation.

emergency measures, as the City may determine to be necessary, appropriate, or useful in response to any
public health or safety emergency. If the City becomes aware of an emergency before the Company, then
the City shall notify Company by telephone promptly upon learning of the emergency and shall exercise
reasonable efforts to avoid an interruption of Company's operations.
15.7. The City will not be liable in any manner, and Company hereby waives any claims, for any
inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance, or other damage arising out of the City's access to
the Site Equipment, including the removal of Company's Site Equipment from a City Pole in an emergency.

Equipment and any other Company improvements to the City Poles, including but not limited to personal
property, shall remain the exclusive property of the Company.
18.2. The approved designs of the Site Equipment on a City Pole pursuant to a Site License
Addendum are concealment elements intended to maintain the look of a light pole. Accordingly, except
with respect to a Minor Modification, any material revision to the Site Equipment listed on a Site Lease
Addendum after initial installation shall require the City's prior written approval. Such City approval shall
be memorialized in an amendment to the Site Lease Addendum for which Company shall submit an
Administrative Fee consistent with Section 6.3. As used in this Section 18.2, "Minor Modification" shall
mean routine maintenance and repair of the Site Equipment, or the replacement of an antenna or equipment

recourse to any remedy available at law or equity. Further, Company's maintenance of insurance policies
required by this Agreement shall not be construed to excuse unfaithful performance by Company.
22. Hold Harmless.
22.1. The City and its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, contractors,
representatives and agents ("Indemnitees") shall not be liable for injury or damage to any persons or
property, including City Poles, resulting from the installation (including without limitation Company's
replacement of City Poles), operation or maintenance of the Site Equipment on the City Poles.
22.2. Company releases, covenants not to bring suit, and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless the Indemnitees from any and all claims, costs, judgments, awards, or liability to any person, for

Company, its agents, servants, officers, employees and contractors in the performance of this Agreement
and any rights granted within this Agreement.
22.3. Inspection or acceptance by the City of any work performed by Company at the time of

any claims that may be compromised.
22.4. The Indemnitees shall promptly notify Company of any claim or suit and request in writing
that Company indemnify the Indemnitees. The Indemnitees' failure to so notify and request
indemnification shall not relieve Company of any liability that Company might have, except to the extent
that such failure prejudices Company's ability to defend such claim or suit.
{DPK2428001_DOCX;2/13104.080004/ } 16
22.5. Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnitees from any and all
claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses, including without limitation,
diminution in the value of the City Poles, damages for loss or restriction of use of the City Poles, and sums
paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant and expert fees, investigation, clean-up, remediation
or other costs incurred or suffered by the City, arising out of any use, storage, release or disposal of
Hazardous Materials by Company, its employees, contractors, subcontractors, or invitees. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and any other provision in this Agreement, Company shall not be liable or responsible for
any environmental condition except to the extent Company causes or exacerbates the condition. This
indemnification shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
22.6. Company may choose counsel to defend the Indemnitees subject to this Section 22.6. In
the event that Company refuses the tender of defense in any suit or any claim, as required pursuant to the
indemnification provisions within this Agreement, and said refusal is subsequently determined by a court
having jurisdiction (or such other tribunal that the parties shall agree to decide the matter), to have been a
wrongful refusal on the part of Company, Company shall pay all of the City's reasonable costs for defense
of the action, including all expert witness fees, costs, and attorney's fees, and including costs and fees
incurred in recovering under this indemnification provision. If separate representation to fully protect the
interests of both parties is necessary, such as a conflict of interest between the City and the counsel selected
by Company to represent the City, then upon the prior written approval and consent of Company, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, the City shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action
or proceeding and to participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and Company shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel, except that Company shall not be required to pay
the fees and expenses of separate counsel on behalf of the City for the City to bring or pursue any
counterclaims or interpleader action, equitable relief, restraining order or injunction. The City's fees and
expenses shall include all out-of-pocket expenses, such as consultants and expert witness fees, and shall
also include the reasonable value of any services rendered by the counsel retained by the City (including
the use of in-house counsel) but shall not include outside attorneys' fees for services that are unnecessarily
duplicative of services provided the City by Company. Each party and indemnitee agrees to cooperate and
to cause its employees and agents to cooperate with the other party in the defense of any such claim and the
relevant records of each party shall be available to the other party with respect to any such defense.
22.7. Except to the extent that damage or injury arises from the sole negligence or willful
misconduct of the Indemnitees, the obligations of Company under the indemnification provisions of this
Section 22.6 shall apply regardless of whether liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons
or damages to property were caused or contributed to by the concurrent negligence of the Indemnitees.
Notwithstanding the proceeding sentence, to the extent the provisions of RCW 4.24.115 are applicable, the
parties agree that the indemnity provisions hereunder shall be deemed amended to conform to said statute
and liability shall be allocated as provided therein. It is further specifically and expressly understood that
the indemnification provided constitutes Company's waiver of immunity under Title 51 RCW, solely for
the purposes of this indemnification, relating solely to indemnity claims made by the City directly against
the Company for claims made against the City by Company's employees. This waiver has been mutually
negotiated by the parties.
22.8. Company acknowledges and agrees that Company, bears all risks of loss or damage or
relocation or replacement of its Site Equipment and materials installed on City Poles pursuant to this
Agreement from any cause, and the City shall not be liable for any cost of replacement or repair to damaged
Site Equipment, including, without limitation, damage caused by the City's removal of the Site Equipment,
loss of line of sight path, activities conducted by the City, its officials (elected or appointed), officers,
agents, employees, volunteers, elected and appointed officials, or contractors, except to the extent any such
damage or destruction is caused by or arises from any sole negligence, willful misconduct, or criminal
actions on the part of the City, its officials (elected or appointed), officers, agents, employees, volunteers,
{DPK2428001,DOCX;2/13104.080004/ 1 17
or elected or appointed officials, or contractors. Company releases and waives any and all such claims
against the City, its officers, agents, employees, volunteers, elected or appointed officials, or contractors.
22.9. In no event shall either party be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special,
consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including by way of example and not limitation lost profits,
lost revenue, loss of goodwill, or loss of business opportunity in connection with its performance or failure
to perform under this Agreement. The Company releases and waives any and all such claims against the
City, its officers, agents, employees, volunteers, or elected or appointed officials, or contractors. Company
further agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City against any claims for damages, including,
but not limited to, business interruption damages, lost profits and consequential damages, brought by or
under users of Company's Site Equipment or networks as the result of any interruption of service due to
damage or destruction of Company's Site Equipment caused by or arising out of activities conducted by
the City, its officials (elected or appointed), officers, agents, employees or contractors.
22.10. The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the expiration, revocation, or termination of
this Agreement.
23. Performance Bond
23.1. Company shall furnish a surety bond or bonds, a copy of which is attached in substantially
the same form to this Agreement as Exhibit F, covering faithful performance of this Agreement and
payment of all obligations arising thereunder, including but not limited to proper construction, long-term
facility maintenance, rent, timely removal of equipment and restoration. The bond shall be in -force during
the entire term or subsequent extensions. The bond shall be in a form acceptable to the City. The
performance bond for this Agreement shall not only indemnify City for the usual performance provisions
of this Agreement, but in addition shall be a bond to guarantee payment of any and all tax liability of any
type, kind, nature or description due as a result of this Agreement. Said performance bond shall be issued
to City prior to the issuance of any approvals for the construction of its facilities on the licensed property.
If City so uses or applies any portion of the performance bond, Company shall upon notice, restore the
performance bond to the full amount above specified, and Company's failure to do so shall constitute a
material breach of this Agreement. This performance bond shall be in addition to any construction or
maintenance bonds imposed by the City as part of its permitting process. This performance bond shall
remain in place until all of Company's Site Equipment has been removed by Company unless otherwise
permitted to remain by City. The amount of the bond shall be dependent on the number of City Poles used
by the Company as follows:
a. $100,000 bond for usage of 1-10 City Poles;
b. $250,000 bond for usage of 11-50 City Poles; and

29. Termination.
29.1. City's Termination Rights
29.1.1. Subject to the cure provision of Section 30, the City has the right to terminate,
this Agreement or any Site Lease Addendum if the City determines that Company's exercise of its rights
under this Agreement:
a. Interferes with the City's use of the City Poles and/or the structures on the City
Poles for the municipal purposes for which the City owns and administers such
structures/site, which may include, without limitation, the necessity to widen a street or
for other municipal projects that result in removing the City Pole, and the Site Equipment
cannot be relocated pursuant to Section 31;
b. Poses a threat to public health or safety or constitutes a public nuisance.
(DPK2428001.DOCX;2/13104.080004/ ) 22
C. The City determines that Company's exercise of its rights under this Agreement
interferes with the use of the City Poles or structures thereon by a governmental agency
with which the City has an agreement to provide services to the City, e.g. the emergency
network, and the Site Equipment cannot be relocated pursuant to Section 31; or
d. Company ceases to operate as a provider of telecommunications services under
federal law. In such a situation the City shall have the option, in its sole discretion and
upon six (6) months' written notice to Company, to terminate this Agreement and to
require the removal of the Site Equipment from the City Poles, pursuant to Section 32,
including the cost of any site remediation, at no cost to the City.
29.1.2. Immediate Removal. The City may, in its sole discretion, determine that exigent
circumstances require immediate removal of Site Equipment from a City Pole. Such exigent circumstances
may only include reasons of public health, safety or the need to provide street lighting. Company shall
remove its Site Equipment within forty-eight (48) hours' notice unless such longer period is provided by
the City. The applicable Site Lease Addendum will terminate upon the removal of the Site Equipment or
an amendment to the Site Lease Addendum will be required.
29.1.3. Pole Removal. The City has the right to remove any City Pole that it determines
in its sole judgment is unnecessary for its municipal purposes (for example street light operations). If the
City decides to remove a City Pole, it shall provide Company with at least sixty (60) days written notice
to remove its Site Equipment from the City Pole. The applicable Site Lease Addendum will terminate
upon the removal of the Site Equipment.
29.1.4. Pole Replacement. The City has the right to replace any City Poles that it
determines, in its sole judgment, is necessary for its municipal operations. At City's option, the applicable
Site Lease Addendum will terminate upon the removal of the Site Equipment.
29.1.5. No Further Obligation. Except those provisions that survive the termination of
this Agreement, upon termination under this Section 29.1, neither party will owe any further obligation to
the other party, except as otherwise provided in Section 34.15 below, provided that Company is not in
arrears in making its Rent or other required payments; provided however that Company shall, at
Company's sole cost, remove its Site Equipment and restore the City Pole. If the City terminates a Site
Lease Addendum pursuant to this Section 29.1, the Company may request alternative sites on other City
Poles in order to allow Company to continue to provide service within the City as further described in
Section 31. Further, to the extent that the City received any pre -paid Rent related to the terminated Site
Lease Addendum, City shall refund such pre -payments to Company.
29.2. Company's Termination Rights.
Company may terminate this Agreement or applicable Site Lease Addenda, as follows:
29.2.1. Upon thirty (30) days' notice at anytime Company determines in its sole discretion
that it desires to discontinue use of some or all of the City Poles for any reason whatsoever; provided,
however, that if Company terminates this Agreement or a Site Lease Addendum pursuant to this Section
29.2.1, Company shall not be entitled to a refund of any pre -paid Rent and shall pay the City a sum equal
to twelve (12) months' Rent for each terminated Site Lease Addendum; or
29.2.2. The City breaches any material term or provision of this Agreement, subject to
the cure period described in Section 30 below.
{DPK2428001.DOCX;2/13104.080004/ 1 23
29.3. Company's Risk of Loss; Suspension Rights.

accepts all risks, including but not limited to:
a. Acts of God or third parties that may damage Site Equipment (including, but not
limited to, fires, earthquakes, storms, and car accidents).
b. Loss of line of sight path, including where caused by City action.
C. City change in the use of the City Poles.
29.3.2. Company explicitly acknowledges that these risks include bearing all costs
associated with such risks, except such costs caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the
City.
29.3.3. Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 29.3.1, the
Company will not be liable for any Rent during the time the Site Equipment is rendered unusable, except
when caused by action of the Company or failure of the Company to perform its obligations under this
Agreement. Company at its option may prorate such Rent for the succeeding year to account for such
downtime but must detail its proration and associated calculation upon submission of such Rent
payments.
30. Cure. Neither party shall be in default under this Agreement until thirty (30) days after receipt of
written notice of default from the other; provided, however, where such default cannot reasonably be cured
within thirty (30) days, the defaulting party shall not be in default if it commences to cure such default
within said thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues cure to completion.
31. Relocation.
31.1. Company understands and acknowledges that City may require Company to relocate,
temporarily or permanently, one or more of its Site Equipment installations. Company shall at City's
direction and upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Company, relocate such Site Equipment at
Company's sole cost and expense whenever City reasonably determines that the relocation is needed for
any of the following purposes: (a) if required for the construction, modification, completion, repair,
relocation, or maintenance of a City or other public agency project; (b) because the Site Equipment is
interfering with or adversely affecting proper operation of City -owned poles, traffic signals,
communications, or other City Poles; (c) to protect or preserve the public health or safety; (d) as described
in Section 29; or (e) the City is abandoning or removing the City Pole. In any such case, City shall use
reasonable efforts to afford Company a reasonably equivalent alternate location. If Company shall fail to
relocate any Site Equipment as requested by the City in accordance with the foregoing provision, City shall,
upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Company be entitled to remove or relocate the Site Equipment
at Company's sole cost and expense, without further notice to Company. Company shall pay to City actual
costs and expenses incurred by the City in performing any removal work and any storage of Company's
property after removal within thirty (30) days of the date of a written demand for this payment from the
City. City will promptly inform Company of the displacement or removal of any City Pole on which any
Site Equipment is located.
31.2. In the event Company desires to relocate any Site Equipment from one City Pole to another,
Company shall so advise City and shall submit a Site Lease Addendum for approval by City.
{DPK2428001.DOCX;2/13104.080004/ 1 24

to assistance under the Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Policy (Ch. 8.26 RCW).

Equipment from applicable City Poles and shall restore the City Poles as instructed by the City, reasonable
wear and tear and casualty excepted. Upon the 121st day, Rent shall accrue at the Holdover Rate described
in Section 6.10. If Company fails to complete this removal work pursuant to this Section 32, then the City,
upon written notice to Company, shall have the right at the City's sole election, but not the obligation, to
perform this removal work and charge Company for the actual, documented costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable administrative costs. Further, the City may use the performance bond in
Section 23 and may require the bonding company to supply contractors to perform such removal, storage
and restoration work. Company shall pay to the City actual, documented costs and expenses incurred by
the City in performing any removal work and any storage of Company's property after removal within
thirty (30) days of the date of a written demand for this payment from the City. After the City receives the
reimbursement payment from Company for the removal work performed by the City, the City shall
promptly make available to Company the property belonging to Company and removed by the City pursuant
to this Section 32 at no liability to the City. If the City does not receive reimbursement payment from
Company within such thirty (30) days, or if City does not elect to remove such items at the City's cost after
Company's failure to so remove pursuant to this Section, or if Company does not remove Company's
property within thirty (30) days of such property having been made available by the City after Company's
payment of removal reimbursement as described above, any items of Company's property remaining on or
about the rights of way, City Poles, or stored by the City after the City's removal thereof may, at the City's
option, be deemed abandoned and the City may dispose of such property in any manner by law.
Alternatively, the City may elect to take title to abandoned property, provided that Company shall submit
to the City an instrument satisfactory to the City transferring to the City the ownership of such property.
Provided, however, that nothing contained within this Section shall prevent the City from compelling
Company to remove any such Site Equipment through judicial action when the City has not permitted
Company to abandon said Site Equipment in place.
32.2. The Site Equipment, in whole or in part, may not be abandoned by Company without
written approval by the City. Any plan for abandonment or removal of Site Equipment shall be at the sole
cost of the Company, must be first approved by the City, and all necessary permits must be obtained prior
to such work. Notwithstanding the above, the City may permit Company's Site Equipment to be abandoned
and placed in such a manner as the City may prescribe. Upon permanent abandonment, Company shall
execute such necessary documents to transfer title to City.
32.3. The provisions of this Section 32 shall survive the expiration, revocation, or termination of
this Agreement.
33. Records; Audits
33.1. No more than twice during any calendar year, the City may require such information,
records, and documents from Company pertaining to this Agreement from time to time as are appropriate
to reasonably monitor compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
33.2. Company shall provide such records within twenty (20) business days of a request by the
City for production of the same unless additional time is reasonably needed by Company, in which case,
Company shall have such reasonable time as needed for the production of the same, but no longer than forty
{DPK2428001.DOCX;2/13104.080004/ } 25
(40) days. If any person other than Company maintains records on Company's behalf, Company shall be
responsible for making such records available to the City.
33.3. Company shall be responsible for clearly and conspicuously identifying any records as
confidential or proprietary and shall provide a brief written explanation as to why such information is
confidential and how it may be treated as such under State or federal law. In the event that the City receives
a public records request under Chapter 42.56 RCW or similar law for the disclosure of information
Company has designated as confidential, trade secret, or proprietary, the City will endeavor to provide
written notice of such disclosure request so that Company can take appropriate steps to obtain injunctive
relief to prevent disclosure of claimed confidential records. Nothing in this Section prohibits the City from
complying with Chapter 42.56 RCW or any other applicable law or court order requiring the release of
public records. City shall not be liable to Company for its good faith acts in determining that release of
records, including confidential records, is in compliance with any law or court order requiring the release
of public records. The City shall comply with any injunction or court order properly obtained by Company
and not stayed that prohibits the disclosure of any such confidential records; however, in the event a higher
court overturns such injunction or court order and such higher court action is or has become final and non -
appealable, Company shall reimburse the City for any fines or penalties imposed for failure to disclose such
records as required hereunder within sixty (60) days of a request from the City. In addition to the
indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 22, Company shall indemnify and defend the City from and
against any and all losses, penalties, fines, claims, demands, expenses (including, but not limited to,
attorneys' fees and litigation expenses), suits, judgments or damages arising from or relating to any failure
of Company to comply with this Section.

discharge or invalidate such covenant or provision or affect the right of either party to enforce the same in

transaction, Company shall be fully responsible for any fee due such broker and shall hold the City and its

Rebecca,
Thank you for your call this afternoon. This note is intended to clarify the situation related to my notarization, on
August 19th 2021, of the Small Wireless Communication Facilities Master Lease Agreement between the City of Federal Way
and Seattle SMSA Limited Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless. Instead of handwriting the information on page 29 of our
document, I chose to strike the notary section and replace it with a separate page that had most of the information legibly
typed. Based on your call, I realize now that this page does not reference the agreement. The inserted page is intended to
notarize Gordon Cooks' original signature on page 29 of our MLA referenced above.
Please advise if this note sufficiently clarifies the situation or if I need to come down next week and provide additional
information or update the document appropriately.

insurance policies required by this Agreement shall not be construed to excuse unfaithful
performance by Company.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
PERFORMANCE/PAYMENT BOND
KNOW ALL PEOPLE BY THESE PRESENTS:
We, the undersigned , ("Principal") and
the undersigned corporation organized

representatives, heirs, successors and assigns, jointly and severally.
This obligation is entered into pursuant to the statutes of the State of Washington and the ordinances,
regulations, standards and policies of the City, as now existing or hereafter amended or adopted.
The Principal has entered into an Agreement with the City dated , 20J for
NOW, THEREFORE, if the Principal shall perform all the provisions of the Agreement in the manner and
within the time period prescribed by the City, or within such extensions of time as may be granted under
the Agreement, and shall pay all laborers, mechanics, subcontractors and material men or women, and all
persons who shall supply the Principal or subcontractors with provisions and supplies for the carrying on
of said work, and shall hold the City, their officials, agents, employees and volunteers harmless from any
loss or damage occasioned to any person or property by reason of any carelessness or negligence on the
part of the Principal, or any subcontractor in the performance of said work, and shall indemnify and hold
the City harmless from any damage or expense by reason of failure of performance as specified in the
Agreement, or from defects appearing or developing in the material or workmanship provided or performed
under the Agreement within a period of two (2) years after its final acceptance thereof by the City, then and
in the event this obligation shall be void; but otherwise, it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
And the Surety, for value received, hereby further stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of time,
alteration or addition to the terms of the Agreement or to the work to be performed thereunder or the
specifications accompanying the same shall in any way affect its obligation on this bond, and it does hereby
waive notice of any change, extension of time, alterations or additions to the terms of the Agreement or to
the Work.
The Surety hereby agrees that modifications and changes may be made in the terms and provisions of the
Agreement without notice to Surety, and any such modifications or changes increasing the total amount to
be paid the Principal shall automatically increase the obligation of the Surety on this Performance Bond in
a like amount, such increase, however, not to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the original amount of
this bond without the consent of the Surety.
Within forty-five (45) days of receiving notice that the Principal has defaulted on all or part of the terms of

under this bond, according to the option it has elected. Should Surety elect option (a) to cure the default,
the penal sum of the Bond shall be reduced in an amount equal to the costs actually incurred by the Surety
in curing the default. If the Surety elects option (b), then upon completion of the necessary work, the City
shall notify the Surety of its actual costs. The City shall return, without interest, any overpayment made by
the Surety and the Surety shall pay to the City any actual costs which exceed the City estimate, limited to
the bond amount. Should the Surety elect option (c), the Parties shall first complete participation in
mediation, described in the below paragraph, prior to any interplead action.

default by the Principal, the Parties agree to participate in at least four hours of mediation to resolve said
dispute. The Parties shall proportionately share in the cost of the mediation. The mediation shall be
administered by Judicial Dispute Resolution, LLC, 1425 Fourth Avenue, Suite 300, Seattle, Washington
98101. The Surety shall not interplead prior to completion of the mediation.

TO: City Council
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor _
FROM: EJ Walsh, P.E., Public Works Director��
Cole Elliott, P.E. Development Services Manager
SUBJECT: Verizon Wireless — Small Wireless Master Lease Agreement
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Verizon Wireless (Verizon) paid a fee of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) to compensate the
City for the administrative expenses incurred that are directly related to preparing and approving
this Master Lease Agreement.
Verizon will be required to pay additional permitting fees for installation, operation and
maintenance of their facilities, including, but not limited to right-of-way use permits, master lease
addendum, and small wireless permits. Annual rental fees for attachment to city infrastructure are
limited by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruling to $270 per site. There are currently
no applications for installations, nor detailed deployment plans to estimate potential revenue.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Verizon was approved for a City of Federal Way Franchise in March 2020 in order to install,
operate, maintain and repair a telecommunications network consisting of small wireless facilities
in, across, over, along, under, through and below the City of Federal Way rights -of -way. Verizon
Wireless intends to deploy some of its small wireless equipment in areas where there are no utility
poles (due to undergrounding) and therefore proposes to install small wireless facilities on city
street lights. In order to do this, a Master Lease is required to outline the conditions by which small
wireless should be constructed on city poles. The Master Lease allows for administrative approval
of specific installations in the form of "Site Lease Addendums."
The term of this Master Lease is for a period of ten (10) years commencing on the effective date
of this Agreement consistent with the franchise term. The lease will automatically renew for an
additional five (5) years unless, after mutual agreement, that provision is changed to allow the City
the option to not renew.
Verizon Wireless shall provide City with a bond between $100,000 to $500,000 depending on how
many city poles that are leased ("Franchise Bond") running or renewable for the term of this Lease.
In addition, Verizon Wireless (as part of their existing Franchise Agreement) shall guarantee work
they complete in the right-of-way during project construction to final acceptance through a
September 13, 2021

Page 2
Performance Bond in an amount of 120 percent (120%) of the value of work performed followed
by a two-year Maintenance Bond valued at 10% of the value of construction work not to exceed
$250,000.
Verizon Wireless, per their Franchise, will maintain insurance of $5 Million for commercial
general liability, $5 Million for automobile, and carry an excess umbrella liability policy with
limits of $10,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate.
