Item (4) Change Order No. 1 for Project 2018-107 CTH M / Liberty Drive Traffic Signals.
Integrity Grading and Excavating is nearing completion of the traffic signals at CTH M / Liberty
Drive / Thousand Oaks Trail.
Change order No. 1 is to rectify lighting quantities for the work completed to date. ATC notified
the City of clearance issues between their overhead transmission line and the proposed street
light poles to be constructed. City submitted the plans to ATC well in advance of the project
being bid and received no comments. Comments were provided by ATC when AECOM
scheduled the pre-construction conference.
The contract notes are as follows:
• Contract award value = $576,111.96
• Change order No. 1 = $3,597.00 (add)
• Final contract value = $579,708.96
Item (5) Ordinance Number 19-940 Cluster Mailboxes.
In 2012, the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) updated their Postal Operations Manual
(“POM”) with a focus on modes of delivery. The USPS will no longer be delivering mail to
individual mailboxes for single-family residences, but has required coordination with the local
Post Master to determine where cluster mailbox units should be located as depicted in Figure 1.
Figure 1 - Two different styles of cluster mailbox units.
Staff has created an Ordinance that would explain the requirements for a cluster mailbox unit.
Ordinance highlights are as follows:
1. Privately owned within an outlot dedicated to a homeowner’s association
2. Installed outside of public right-of-way
3. Installed on a concrete pad behind a sidewalk
Item (6) Lease Agreement with Verizon for services located at Tower 3.
Staff has been working with Verizon on a lease agreement for rental of tower space at Tower 3
located near Country View Elementary School. The lease agreement follows the City lease
format executed with other carries currently located on City facilities.
Highlights of the lease agreement are as follows:
1. Five year term
2. Renewal for four additional successive five year terms unless tenant provides landlord written
notice
3. Upfront cost for execution of lease is $16,100
4. Base monthly rent is $2,300 with a 3% escalation
Action shall be contingent on legal review of the lease agreement.
Item (7) Agreement with Dane County for construction of CTH M.
City of Madison is the lead for the CTH M expansion currently under construction and has
agreement with Wisconsin Department of Transportation. City of Verona and Dane County
each have separate agreements with City of Madison for the cost sharing of the CTH M project.
Project ID 5992-09-82 (Verona section) is being billed by WisDOT to City of Verona and not City
of Madison. City of Madison has not received any invoices for the construction of the elements
under the 5992-09-82 ID. This agreement will allow the billing process to move forward and
allow the City of Verona to invoice Dane County for their share of the project. An amendment
will be required with City of Madison as part of this agenda item.
Item (8) Verona waterworks rate case update.
The hearing at the Public Service Commission occurred on July 31, 2019 with only two
comments from the public. All items presented by PSC and City staff were sworn in as official
documents for the rate case. City should anticipate seeing the official order from the PSC
within the month on their action of approval or denial or modification.

LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT ("Lease") is entered into as of this ___ day of
_______________, 20__, by the City of Verona (“Landlord”), a Wisconsin municipal
corporation, and Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, with its principal offices at One
Verizon Way, Mail Stop 4AW100, Basking Ridge, New Jersey 07920 (“Tenant”).
BACKGROUND
Landlord is the owner in fee simple of a parcel of land located on Hemlock Drive in the City of
Verona, Dane County, State of Wisconsin, legally described on the attached Exhibit A (the
“Premises”). A water tower (the “Tower”) is located on the Premises. Landlord desires to lease
to Tenant, and Tenant desires to lease from Landlord, a portion of the Premises described below
to enable Tenant to erect, operate and maintain certain communications facilities of Tenant, on
the terms and conditions set forth below.
AGREEMENT
1. Leased Premises.
A. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord a portion of the
Premises, including space on the Tower and space on the ground for a shelter, as
shown on the Site Plan attached as Exhibit B. The Premises are subject to all
existing easements, covenants, conditions, and restrictions of record, if any.
Tenant intends to locate directional antennas, connecting cables, coaxial cables,
and appurtenances (“Antenna Facilities”) on the Tower at the locations shown on
the attached Exhibit C.
B. Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to permanently relocate its facilities
once during any ten (10) year period at Tenant’s expense to another location on
the Tower provided such relocation is a result of a governmental requirement, to
accommodate a governmental party or in relation to maintenance or
improvements of the Tower. Tenant shall complete the relocation of its facilities
within three hundred sixty five (365) days after written notice from Landlord. If
Landlord requires Tenant to permanently relocate more than one (1) time during
any ten (10) year period, such relocation shall be at Landlord’s expense.
Landlord shall not cause Tenant to relocate its facilities to accommodate any non-
governmental third party.
C. Landlord reserves the right at any time upon one hundred eighty (180) days
advanced written notice to Tenant to take any action it deems necessary, in its
sole discretion, to repair, maintain, alter or improve the Premises or Tower and to
temporarily interfere with Tenant’s leasehold improvements as may be necessary
in order to carry out any such activities. During the period of such temporary
interference, Tenant shall have the option to place a temporary antenna array on
the Premises and Tower. Such temporary antenna array shall be at least 20’ from
the drip area of the Tower. This notice requirement shall not affect any situation
where Landlord must request Tenant's relocation in the event of an emergency as
1
necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of visitors or Landlord's other
tenants. In the event of a relocation request under this Section, Tenant agrees to
cover the costs of relocating its equipment. If such approval is to include going
through any permitting process of Landlord, Landlord shall waive any permit fees
for Tenant for its reinstallation. Landlord shall provide space satisfactory to
Tenant in the location shown in the Site Drawing attached hereto as Exhibit B in
order for Tenant to operate temporary cellular facilities during the course of any
maintenance that cannot be completed without Tenant's relocation. Landlord
shall take all steps possible to ensure that Tenant is off the Tower for the
minimum length of time possible.
D. Landlord also makes certain grants of easement for ingress/egress and utilities, as
more particularly described on the attached Exhibit A, which easement is in effect
throughout the term of the Lease as renewed or extended. Any and all rights
granted to Tenant under the grants of easement for ingress/egress and utilities, as
more particularly described on the attached Exhibit A, shall terminate when the
Lease terminates. For avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s access to the Premises,
including the easement areas described in Exhibit A and the Tower, is also subject
to Section 9 of this Lease.
E. This Lease is not a franchise nor is it a permit to use the rights-of-way. Any such
franchise or permit must be obtained separately from Landlord.
2. Term.
A. The initial term of this Lease shall be five (5) years terminating at midnight on the
fifth (5) annual anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Initial Term”).
B. This Lease will automatically renew for four (4) additional and successive five (5) year
terms unless Tenant gives Landlord written notice of non-renewal at least six (6) months
before the end of each existing term (each a “Renewal Term”).
C. The Lease shall commence on the earlier of: (i) the date that is twelve (12) months from
full execution of this Lease or (ii) the date that the Tenant commences its installation
work on its Antenna Facilities on the Premises. In the event the date at which Tenant
commences its installation work on the Premises or the date that is twelve (12) months
from full execution of the Lease, whichever is applicable, falls between the 1st and 15th of
the month, the Lease shall commence on the 1st of that month and if such date falls
between the 16th and 31st of the month, then the Lease shall commence on the 1st day of
the following month (either the "Commencement Date"). Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge and agree that initial rental payment(s) shall not actually be sent by Tenant
until thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date. By way of illustration of the
preceding sentence, if the Commencement Date is January 1, Tenant shall send to the
Landlord the rental payments for January 1 and February 1 by February 1.

exclusive.
B. Tenant may erect and operate six (6) antennas and three (3) hybrid cables. Tenant
may add additional antennas or coaxial/ cabling lines only with Landlord’s

be removed and the Premises restored to its original condition (normal wear and
tear excepted) upon termination or expiration of this Lease. Upon removal of the
Antenna Facilities, except the shelter, (or portions thereof), Tenant shall restore
the affected area of the Premises, less wear and tear to the reasonable satisfaction
of Landlord. All costs and expenses for the removal and restoration to be
performed by Tenant shall be borne by Tenant, and Tenant shall hold Landlord
harmless from any portion thereof. If Tenant requests permission not to remove
all or a portion of the Antenna Facilities, and Landlord consents to such non-
removal, title to the affected Antenna Facilities shall thereupon transfer to
Landlord and the same thereafter shall be the sole and entire property of Landlord,
and Tenant shall be relieved of its duty to otherwise remove same.

Tower is satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall submit to Landlord a detailed proposal
for any such replacement facilities and any supplemental materials as may be requested,
for Landlord’s evaluation and approval. Landlord will respond to Tenant’s proposal
within thirty (30) business days after submission. In the event Tenant’s proposed updates

Date: 8-1-19
the use of the Tower, the Premises, related facilities or other equipment of other
tenants.
B. Tenant shall have sole responsibility for the maintenance, repair, and security of
its equipment, personal property, Antenna Facilities, and leasehold improvements,

and maintain its Antenna Facilities. Tenant shall have access to the Tower only
with the prior approval of Landlord. Tenant shall request access to the Tower
twenty-four (24) hours in advance, except in an emergency, when the Landlord
shall use reasonable efforts to accommodate Tenant’s request for access to the
Premises. In the event Tenant must access the Tower outside normal business
hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Tenant shall contact Landlord at 608-845-6695 to notify
Landlord of such request and pay Landlord for the cost of a Landlord employee
accompanying Tenant at the normal hourly overtime rate for such employee plus
15% representing benefits with a minimum billing occurrence of two (2) hours.
B. Landlord shall be allowed and granted access to the Premises (including the

6
Tenant Site Name: NE Verona
Date: 8-1-19
11. License Fees. Tenant shall pay, as they become due and payable, all fees, charges, taxes
and expenses required for licenses and/or permits required for or occasioned by Tenant’s
use of the Premises.
12. Compliance with Statutes, Regulations, and Approvals. Tenant’s use of the Premises
is contingent upon its obtaining all certificates, permits, zoning, and other approvals that
may be required by any federal, state or local authority. Tenant shall erect, maintain and
operate its Antenna Facilities in accordance with site standards, Wisconsin statutes,
ordinances, rules and regulations now in effect or that thereafter may be issued by the
FCC or any other governing bodies.
13. Interference.
A. Tenant’s installation, operation, and maintenance of its Antenna Facilities shall
not damage or cause any objectionable electrical or physical interference in any
way with Landlord’s Tower operations or related repair and maintenance
activities or with such activities of a Co-Tenant. For purposes of this Section 13,
a “Co-Tenant” is a tenant that executes a lease agreement with Landlord to
operate communication facilities upon the Premises and the Tower. In the event
that it is determined using standard and accepted engineering testing or principles
that Tenant is causing any objectionable electrical or physical interference to the
operations of Landlord or a Co-Tenant, then, immediately upon written
notification from Landlord or the Co-Tenant of the interference, Tenant shall, at
its sole expense, take whatever steps are necessary to correct the interference,
including, but not limited to, changing frequency, ceasing transmission, reducing
power and/or installing filters or other equipment. If the interference cannot be
eliminated within twenty-four (24) hours, Tenant will power down its equipment
until the interference has been eliminated. If the interference cannot be
eliminated within thirty (30) days, Landlord may terminate this Lease. The party
experiencing the interference shall be responsible for determining its source, and
in the event it is determined that Tenant is causing the interference, Tenant shall
reimburse the affected party for the costs of such determination within thirty (30)
days of receipt of an invoice. Failure by Tenant to comply with these
requirements shall be the basis for termination of the Lease by Landlord. In the
event Landlord or a Co-Tenant interferes with Tenant and such interference is not
eliminated within thirty (30) days, Tenant may terminate this Lease. Landlord, at
all times during this Lease, reserves the right to take any action it deems
necessary, in its sole discretion, to repair, maintain, alter or improve the Premises,
with the exception of the Tenant’s Antenna Facilities, in connection with Tower
operations as may be necessary, including leasing parts of the Tower to others.
B. Before approving the placement of Antenna Facilities, Landlord may obtain, at
Tenant’s expense, an engineering study indicating whether the Tower is able to
structurally support the Tenant’s Antenna Facilities without prejudice to the
Landlord’s primary use of the Tower.
7
Tenant Site Name: NE Verona
Date: 8-1-19
C. Landlord does not guarantee to Tenant noninterference with Tenant’s
communications operations, provided, however, that in the event any other party,
except a governmental unit, requests a lease and/or permission to place any type
of antenna or transmission facility on the Premises subsequent to the execution of
this Lease, the procedures of this Section 13, or a procedure in substantially the
same form, shall govern to determine whether such antenna or transmission
facility will interfere with Tenant’s transmission operations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any governmental unit installing communications equipment after the
Commencement Date of this Lease shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that it
does not interfere with Tenant’s communications operations as permitted by this
Lease.
D. If Landlord receives a proposal by a party, except a governmental unit, to lease
and/or place any type of antenna or transmission facility on the Premises,
Landlord shall submit the proposal complete with all technical specifications
reasonably requested by Tenant to Tenant for review for noninterference;
however, Landlord shall not be required to provide Tenant with any specifications
or information claimed to be of a proprietary nature by the third party. The third
party shall be responsible for the reasonable cost of preparing the technical
specifications for its proposed transmission facility. Tenant shall have thirty (30)
days following receipt of the proposal to make any objections thereto, and failure
to make any objection within the thirty (30) day period shall be deemed consent
by Tenant to the installation of antennas or transmission facilities pursuant to the
proposal.
E. Landlord will include a provision in substantially the same form as this Section 13
in each subsequent lease or agreement with a subsequent tenant for attachment of
equipment to the Tower.
14. Default and Landlord’s Remedies.
It shall be a default if Tenant defaults in the payment or provision of Rent or any other
sums to Landlord when due, and does not cure such default within ten days after receipt
of written notice from Landlord; or if Tenant defaults in the performance of any other
covenant or condition of this Lease and does not pursue a cure with due diligence and
cure such other default within ninety (90) days after written notice from Landlord
specifying the default complained of; or if Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises; or if
Tenant is adjudicated as bankrupt or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
if Tenant becomes insolvent or Landlord reasonably believes Tenant to be insolvent.
In the event of a default, Landlord shall have the right, at its option, in addition to and not
exclusive of any other remedy Landlord may have by operation of law, without any
further demand or notice, to enter the Premises and eject all persons therefrom, and either
(1) declare this Lease at an end, in which event Tenant shall immediately remove the
Antenna Facilities (and proceed as set forth in Section 4.D.) and pay Landlord a sum of
8
Tenant Site Name: NE Verona
Date: 8-1-19
money equal to the total of (i) the amount of the unpaid rent accrued through the date of
termination; and (ii) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the
Lease, but such amount in (ii) shall not exceed two months’ rent. No entry and taking of
possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s
part to terminate this Lease regardless of the extent of renovations and alterations by
Landlord unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant by Landlord.
Notwithstanding any reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter
elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
If suit shall be brought by Landlord for recovery of possession of the Premises, for the
recovery of any rent or any other amount due under the provisions of this Lease, or
because of the breach of any other covenant, Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all
expenses incurred therefor, including reasonable attorney fees as awarded by a court.
If Landlord fails to comply with any provision of this Lease, Tenant shall serve written
notice of such failure upon Landlord, whereupon a grace period of ninety (90) days shall
commence to run during which Landlord shall undertake and diligently pursue a cure of
such failure at its sole cost and expense. Such grace period shall automatically be
extended for an additional ninety (90) days, provided Landlord makes a good faith
showing that efforts toward a cure are continuing. If Landlord is not able to cure any
default within the timeframe listed above, Tenant may terminate this Lease in addition to
any other right or remedy at law or in equity.
15. Cure by Landlord. In the event of any default of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord may at
any time, after notice, cure the default for the account of and at the expense of Tenant.
16. Optional Termination.
A. This Lease may be terminated:
(1) by Tenant if it is unable to obtain or maintain any license, permit, or other
governmental approval necessary for the construction and/or operation of
the Antenna Facilities or Tenant’s business (except that Tenant shall still
be obligated to pay to Landlord all expenses incurred by Landlord in the
preparation and review of this Lease and of all engineering and project
plans);
(2) by Landlord, on eighteen (18) months written notice, if the Landlord
decides, in its sole discretion, to redevelop the Premises and/or discontinue
use of the Tower;
(3) by Landlord, immediately, if it determines, in its sole discretion and for
any reason, that the Tower is structurally unsound or otherwise not
9
Tenant Site Name: NE Verona
Date: 8-1-19
suitable for Tenant’s use, including but not limited to consideration of age
of the structure, damage or destruction of all or part of the Tower from any
source, or factors relating to condition of the Tower;
(4) by Landlord, immediately, if continued use of the Tower by Tenant is in
fact a threat to health, safety or welfare or violates applicable laws or
ordinances;
(5) by Landlord, immediately, at its sole discretion if Tenant loses its license
to provide PCS/cellular service for any reason, including, but not limited
to, nonrenewal, expiration, or cancellation of its license;
(6) by Landlord, immediately, if Tenant's use of the Premises becomes illegal
under any federal, state or local law or regulation;
or
(7) By Tenant, on six months written notice to Landlord, if Tenant determines
that the Premises, the Tower or the Antenna Facilities are inappropriate or
unnecessary for Tenant’s operations for economic or technological
reasons.
B. Upon termination of this Lease for any reason, Tenant shall remove its equipment,
personal property, Antenna Facilities, and leasehold improvements from the
Premises as specified in Section 4.D. of this Lease.
17. Liquidated Damages: Termination. Notice of termination under Section 16.A. shall be
given pursuant to Section 26, and shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the
non-terminating party. All rent paid for the Lease of the Premises prior to the termination
date shall be retained by Landlord. Upon such termination, this Lease shall become null
and void and the parties shall have no further obligations to each other.
18. Alteration, Damage or Destruction. If the Tower or any portion thereof is altered,
destroyed or damaged so as to materially hinder effective use of the Antenna Facilities
through no fault or negligence of Tenant, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon
thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord. During the period of time the Tenant’s
effective use of the Antenna Facilities are materially hindered, the Tenant will be allowed
to operate a temporary cellular site upon the Premises for up to the remainder of the
current lease term. In such event of Tenant terminating the Lease pursuant to this
Section, Tenant shall promptly remove the Antenna Facilities from the Premises and shall
restore the Premises to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. This Lease (and Tenant’s
obligation to pay rent) shall terminate upon Tenant’s fulfillment of the obligations set
forth in the preceding sentence including the removal of any temporary cellular site upon
the Premises, at which termination Tenant shall be entitled to the reimbursement of any
10
Tenant Site Name: NE Verona
Date: 8-1-19
rent prepaid by Tenant. Landlord shall have no obligation to repair any damage to any
portion of the Premises or the Tower.
19. Condemnation. If the Premises or the Tower are taken by eminent domain, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date title to the Premises vests in the condemning authority. If a
portion of the Premises is taken by eminent domain, either party shall have the right to
terminate this Lease as of the date of title transfer, by giving thirty (30) days’ written
notice to the other party. In the event of any taking under the power of eminent domain,
Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion of the award paid for the taking and the
Landlord shall receive full amount of such award. Tenant waives any right or claim to
any portion thereof. All damages, whether awarded as compensation for diminution in
value of the leasehold or to the fee of the Premises, shall belong to Landlord. Tenant shall
have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from
Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant on
account of any and all damage to Tenant’s business and any costs or expenses incurred
by Tenant in moving or removing its equipment, personal property, Antenna Facilities,
and leasehold improvements.
20. Indemnity and Insurance.
A. Indemnification. Landlord shall indemnify Tenant and hold Tenant and all
associated, affiliated, allied and subsidiary entities of Tenant, now existing or
hereafter created, and their respective officers, boards, employees, agents, and
attorneys, (“Tenant Indemnitees”) harmless from any and all costs (including
reasonable attorney fees) and claims of liability or loss which arise out of the use,
maintenance, and/or occupancy of the Premises by Landlord, except to the extent
caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant
Indemnitees or a third party. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, indemnify
and hold harmless Landlord and all associated, affiliated, allied and subsidiary
entities of Landlord, now existing or hereafter created, and their respective
officers, boards, commissions, employees, agents, and attorneys (collectively
referred to as “Landlord Indemnitees”), except to the extent caused by the
negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Indemnitees or
a third party from and against:
(1) Any and all liability, obligation, damages, penalties, claims, liens, costs,
charges, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
fees and expenses of attorneys, expert witnesses and consultants), which
may be imposed upon, incurred by or be asserted against the Landlord
Indemnitees by reason of any act or omission of Tenant (or its personnel,
employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors), except to the extent
caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of the Landlord
Indemnitees, resulting or allegedly resulting in personal injury, bodily
injury, or death to any person or damage to, loss of, or destruction of
tangible or intangible property, which may arise out of the occupancy,
11
Tenant Site Name: NE Verona
Date: 8-1-19
construction, installation, operation, maintenance, use or condition of the
Premises or the Antenna Facilities, or Tenant’s failure to comply with this
Lease or any federal, state or local statute, ordinance or regulation.
(2) Any and all liability, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, liens, costs,
charges, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
fees and expenses of attorneys, expert witnesses and other consultants),
which are imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Landlord
Indemnitees by reason of any claim or lien arising out of work, labor,
materials or supplies provided or supplied to Tenant, its contractors or
subcontractors, for the installation, construction, operation, maintenance
or use of the Premises or the Antenna Facilities.
(3) Any and all liability, obligation, damages, penalties, claims, liens, costs,
charges, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
fees and expenses of attorneys, expert witnesses and consultants), which
may be imposed upon, incurred by or be asserted against the Landlord
Indemnitees by reason of any financing or securities offering by Tenant or
its affiliates for violations of the common law or any laws, statutes, or
regulations of the State of Wisconsin or the United States, including those
of the FCC, whether by Tenant or otherwise.
Upon the written request of Landlord, Tenant shall cause such claim or lien
covering Landlord’s property to be discharged or bonded within thirty days
following such request.
B. Defense of Landlord or Tenant Indemnitees (“Indemnitees”). In the event any
action or proceeding shall be brought against either the Landlord or Tenant
Indemnitees by reason of any matter for which the Indemnitees are indemnified,
the indemnifying party shall, upon notice from any of the Indemnitees, at the
indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, resist and defend the action or
proceeding with legal counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided
however, that the indemnifying party shall not admit liability in any such matter
on behalf of the Indemnitees without the written consent of the Indemnitees and
provided further that Indemnitees shall not admit liability for, nor enter into any
compromise or settlement of, any claim for which they are indemnified, without
the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.
C. Insurance. During the term of the Lease, Tenant shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, in full force and effect and at its sole cost and expense, the following
types and limits of insurance:
(1) Worker’s compensation insurance meeting applicable statutory
requirements and employer’s liability insurance with limits of $100,000

12

installation of the Antenna Facilities, Tenant shall substitute for the
foregoing insurance policies of fire, extended coverage and vandalism and
malicious mischief insurance on the Antenna Facilities. The amount of
insurance at all times shall be representative of the insurable values
installed or constructed.

“Additional Insureds”).
E. Evidence of Insurance. Certificates of insurance for each insurance policy
required to be obtained by Tenant in compliance with this section shall be filed
and maintained with Landlord annually and if an insurance carrier changes during
the term of the Lease. Tenant shall, as soon as practicable, advise Landlord of

13
Tenant Site Name: NE Verona

F. Insurance Companies. All insurance shall be affected under valid and enforceable
policies, issued by insurers licensed, authorized or permitted to do business by the
State of Wisconsin or surplus line carriers on the State of Wisconsin Insurance
Commissioner’s approved list of companies qualified to do business in the State
of Wisconsin. All insurance carriers and surplus line carriers shall be rated A- or

substantially the same coverage with substantially the same limits as required of
Tenant.
H. Landlord shall maintain general liability insurance insuring against liability for
bodily injury, death or damage to personal property with combined single limits
of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) as well as all risk property
insurance covering all Landlord fixtures, improvements, and personal property at
full replacement value with commercially reasonable deductibles. In addition, to
the extent required by law, Landlord shall maintain worker’s compensation in
statutory amounts and employer’s liability insurance with combined single limits
of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000). Certificates of insurance for
each insurance policy required to be obtained by Landlord in compliance with this

carrier changes during the term of the Lease. Landlord shall immediately advise
Tenant of any claim, action or proceeding that may result in liability to Tenant.

broadly to mean any substance or material defined or designated as hazardous or toxic
waste, hazardous or toxic material, hazardous or toxic or radioactive substance, or other
similar term by any federal, state or local environmental law, regulation or rule presently
in effect or promulgated in the future, as such laws, regulations or rules may be amended
from time to time; and it shall be interpreted to include, but not be limited to, any
substance which after release into the environment will or may reasonably be anticipated
to cause sickness, death or disease.
Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that Landlord has never generated,
stored, handled, or disposed of any Hazardous Materials upon the Premises, and that
Landlord has no knowledge of such uses historically having been made of the Premises
or such substances historically having been introduced thereupon. Tenant shall not cause
or permit any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the Site
by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold as long as Tenant
demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that such Hazardous Materials are
necessary or useful to Tenant’s permitted use of the Site and will be used, kept and stored
in a manner that complies with all laws regulating any such Hazardous Materials so
14
Tenant Site Name: NE Verona
Date: 8-1-19
brought upon or used or kept in or about the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord acknowledges that Tenant may be using and maintaining on the Premises sealed
batteries, backup generator fuel, electronics, cables, common cleaning supplies, and an
FM200 fire suppression system, and that the use and maintenance of such items in
accordance with applicable law shall not constitute a violation or breach of this section. If
Tenant breaches any of its obligations contained herein, or if Tenant causes the presence
of any Hazardous Materials on the Site first occurring after the date of this Lease, which
results in contamination of any portion of the Site, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, damages,
penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses (including, without limitation, any sums paid in
settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees and experts’ fees) which arise
during or after the term hereof as a result of such contamination. If Landlord breaches
any of its obligations contained herein then Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold
Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties,
fines, costs, liabilities or losses (including, without limitation, any sums paid in
settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees and experts’ fees) which arise
during or after the term hereof as a result of such contamination. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall Tenant have any obligation to indemnify Landlord hereunder
for any claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses (including,
without limitation, any sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultants’
fees and experts’ fees) for any contamination by Hazardous Materials caused by or
resulting from Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees or for Hazardous
Materials present or located at or on or upon the Premises (or any part thereof) as of the
date of this Lease.
22. Holding Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the term of this Lease, with the
consent of the Landlord, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month at one
hundred and fifty (150%) percent the rents herein specified (prorated on a monthly basis)
and shall otherwise be for the term and on the conditions herein specified, so far as
applicable.
23. Subordination to Mortgage. Any mortgage now or subsequently placed upon any
property of which the Premises are a part shall be deemed to be prior in time and senior
to the rights of the Tenant under this Lease. Tenant subordinates all of its interest in the
leasehold estate created by this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage so long as
mortgagee agrees to recognize all of the rights of Tenant hereunder and not to disturb or
interfere with Tenant’s possession, use or enjoyment of the Premises provided that
Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable cure period. Tenant shall, at
Landlord’s request, execute any additional documents necessary to indicate this
subordination.
24. Acceptance of Premises. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant accepts the
Premises in the condition existing as of the Commencement Date. Landlord makes no
representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the Premises and Landlord
shall not be liable for any latent or patent defect in the Premises.

modifications, that the Lease is in full force as modified and identifying the
modifications); (b) the dates to which rent and other charges have been paid; (c) so far as

Tenant’s FCC authorization to operate a commercial mobile radio base station on
the Premises or to any subsidiary, parent, or affiliate or an entity resulting from
the merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of Tenant’s stock or
assets. For any other assignment, Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or
withheld. Upon assignment by Tenant and assumption of such assignment by
assignee, Tenant shall be fully relieved of its obligations hereunder.
B. Nothing in this Lease shall preclude Landlord from leasing other space for
communications equipment to any person or entity which may be in competition
with Tenant, or any other party provided that the Landlord satisfies the provisions
in Section 13.D. of this Lease.

parties, their respective successors, personal representatives and assigns.
29. Non-Waiver. Failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist on strict performance of any of the
conditions, covenants, terms or provisions of this Lease or to exercise any of their rights
hereunder shall not waive such rights, but either party shall have the right to enforce such
rights at any time and take such action as might be lawful or authorized hereunder, either
in law or equity. The receipt of any sum paid by Tenant to Landlord after a breach of this
Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach unless expressly set forth in writing.
30. Taxes.
A. Tenant shall pay all real and personal property taxes (or payments in lieu of taxes)
and assessments for the Premises directly attributable to Tenant’s equipment or
improvements, if any, which become due and payable during the term of this
Lease. All such payments shall be made, and evidence of all such payments shall
be provided to Landlord, at least ten days prior to the delinquency date of the
payment. Tenant shall pay all taxes on its personal property on the Premises.
B. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord from any and all liability, obligation, damages,
penalties, claims, liens, costs, charges, losses and expenses (including, without

consultants), which may be imposed upon, incurred by or be asserted against
Tenant in relation to the taxes owed or assessed on the Premises.
C. If the methods of taxation in effect at the Commencement Date of the Lease are
altered so that in lieu of or as a substitute for any portion of the property taxes and
special assessments now imposed on property there is imposed a tax upon or
against the rentals payable by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall pay those amounts
in the same manner as provided for the payment of real and personal property
taxes.
31. Miscellaneous.
A. Landlord and Tenant represent that each, respectively, has full right, power, and
authority to execute this Lease.
