connection with the provision of wireless communications services, including attachment of antennas to the towers at the sites. The term of the Master Site
Agreement is ten years from the date the agreement was signed. The term of each lease for each specific site will be five years, but the lessee has the right to
extend the term for up to an additional 20 years. The monthly fee will increase 3% per year. The lessee is also responsible for the utility costs and for certain

based on the mid
