DISCUSSION
In response to telecommunications advancements and increased consumer demand for network
data capacity, wireless providers have increasingly sought to place small cell antennas and
equipment on existing infrastructure located within the public right-of-way. Typically, a small cell
antenna is attached to a streetlight or utility pole, or placed mid -span on wires between utility poles.
Wireless providers place these small cells in locations that are densely populated in order to
provide additional network capacity, such as in downtown areas and around heavily used traffic
corridors. The small cell antennas are also deployed in areas that cannot be effectively served by
a traditional macro cell.
Los Angeles SMSA Limited Partnership seeks to enter into an agreement (Exhibit 1) with the City
for the installation of small cell antennas on City -owned street lights. This will increase network
and data capacity for their subscribers in the areas surrounding the antennas.
The agreement applies only to wireless telecommunications installations on City facilities in the
public right-of-way. Installations on City facilities not in the public right-of-way (such as cell
20B-1

antennas placed on water facilities or within parks, etc.), will continue to require separate
agreements.
An application fee of $1,741.79 will be collected for each City -owned facility licensed under this
agreement during FY 2019-20. Staff seeks approval for an appropriation adjustment to recognize
$50,000 in estimated revenue into the Public Works Revenues, Small Cell Application Fee for City
Facilities revenue account (No. 01117002-53740) and appropriate the same amount into the Public
Works City Facilities License Agreement, Contract Services — Professional expenditure account
(No.01117605-62300).
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development,
Objective #3 (promote a solutions -based customer focus in all efforts to facilitate development and
investment in the community), Strategy C (explore opportunities to encourage a business friendly
environment within the city).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the appropriation adjustment will recognize $50,000 in Public Works Revenues, Small
Cell Application Fee for City Facilities revenue account (no. 01117002-53740) and appropriate the
same amount into Public Works City Facilities License Agreement, Contract Services —
Professional expenditure account (no. 01117605-62300) for expenditure in Fiscal Year 2019-20.

Licensor may elect to accept one or more payments of fees from Licensee.
3. REPRESENTATION CONCERNING SERVICES; TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. Licensee
represents, warrants and covenants that its Equipment installed pursuant to this Agreement and
each Supplement will be utilized solely for providing the Services, and Licensee is not authorized

(6) months' written notice to Licensee, to terminate this Agreement and to require the removal of
Licensee's Equipment from the ROW and from Municipal Facilities, including the cost of any site
remediation, at no cost to the Licensor, without any liability to Licensee related directly or
indirectly to such termination.
4. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT. Licensee may only use Municipal Facilities pursuant to an
approved Supplement. Any and all rights expressly granted to Licensee under this Agreement shall
be exercised at Licensee's sole cost and expense, and shall be subject to the restrictions and
conditions set forth herein.
4.1 Attachment to Municipal Facilities. Subject to the conditions herein, the
Licensor hereby authorizes and permits Licensee to locate, place, attach, install, operate, maintain,
control, remove, reattach, reinstall, relocate, and replace Equipment on identified Municipal
Facilities located in the ROW for the purpose of providing Services.
4.1.1 Licensee will submit to the authorized representative of the Licensor an
application substantially in the form of Exhibit B ("Application") hereto including a proposed
design for any proposed Equipment installations that identifies both the Equipment and the
Municipal Facilities Licensee proposes to use. One Application is required per Municipal Facility.
4.1.2 Licensor may approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove an
Application in its sole discretion, in compliance with applicable Laws, provided however, Licensor
shall not unreasonably delay its decision. Any approved Equipment shall be included as part of the
applicable Supplement.
4.1.3 If Licensee submits an Application to use a Municipal Facility that is
structurally inadequate to accommodate its proposed Equipment, Licensor may permit the
replacement of the Municipal Facility (a "Replacement Facility") with one that is acceptable to
Page 5 of 23
20B-7
and approved by the Licensor as part of the applicable Supplement. Any Replacement Facility
shall be installed, maintained, repaired, and/or replaced in accordance with Section 6 of this
Agreement.
4.1.4 Unmetered electricity unless otherwise approved. Licensee shall be
solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining the provision of electricity to the Equipment,
including, but not limited to, making payments to electric utilities and installation of separate
electric meters, if necessary. Licensee shall secure unmetered electricity services and shall not
incorporate a meter box in its Equipment design unless otherwise approved by the Director of
Public Works or required by the servicing utility company.
4.2 Additional Authority. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit in any way
Licensee's obligation to obtain any additional required regulatory approvals from any City
department, board or commission or other governmental agency that has regulatory authority over
the Licensee's proposed activities involving use of the Municipal Facilities in the ROW.
4.3 No Interference. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the primary purpose of
the Municipal Facilities is to serve the Licensor and the public. Licensee in the performance and
exercise of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not interfere in any manner with
Licensor's own services or the existence and operation of any and all Public Rights -of -Way,
sanitary sewers, water mains, storm drains, gas mains, poles, aerial and underground electrical and
telephone wires, traffic signals, communication facilities owned by the Licensor, electroliers, cable
television, location monitoring services, public safety and other then existing telecommunications
equipment, utility, or municipal property, without the express written approval of the owner or
owners of the affected property or properties, except as permitted by applicable laws or this
Agreement. If such interference should occur, Licensee shall discontinue using the Equipment,
methodology or technology that causes the interference until such time as Licensee takes corrective
measures to eliminate such interference. In the event that such interference does not cease
promptly, Licensee acknowledges that continuing interference may cause irreparable injury and
harm, and therefore, in addition to any other remedies, and without limitation of any other remedy,
Licensor shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctions against the breach of this
Subsection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor agrees to work in good faith with Licensee
to resolve any interference to or by Licensee.
4.4 Permits; Default. In addition to any other remedies available hereunder, whenever
Licensee is in default of this Agreement or an applicable Supplement, after notice and applicable
cure periods, Licensor may deny further encroachment, excavation or similar permits for work in
connection with installations under this Agreement until such time as Licensee cures all of its
defaults.
4.5 Compliance with Laws. Licensee shall comply with all applicable laws in the
exercise and performance of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.
4.6 Non -Exclusive Use Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, any and all rights expressly or impliedly granted to Licensee under this Agreement
shall be non-exclusive, and shall be subject and subordinate to (1) the continuing right of the
Licensor to use, and to allow any other person or persons to use, any and all parts of the ROW or
Page 6 of 23
20B-8
Municipal Facilities, exclusively or concurrently with any other person or persons, and (2) the
public easement for streets and any and all other deeds, easements, dedications, conditions,
covenants, restrictions, encumbrances and claims of title (collectively, "Encumbrances") which
may affect the ROW or Municipal Facilities now or at any time during the term of this Agreement,
including, without limitation any Encumbrances granted, created or allowed by the Licensor at any
time.
4.7 In any situation where Licensee has a choice of attaching its equipment to either
Municipal Facilities or third -party -owned poles in the public rights -of -way, Licensee shall use
good faith efforts to attach to Municipal Facilities, provided that the Municipal Facility in question
is substantially similar to third -party owned poles (i.e., it provides the same functionality, fulfills
the same need and can be made available within the same time frame) and the total cost of installing
and maintaining the Equipment on the Municipal Facility in question is the same or less than on
the available alternative third -party owned pole.
5. COMPENSATION. Licensee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all fees in
connection with Licensee's performance under this Agreement, including those set forth below.
5.1 Application Fee. Each application for a Supplement shall be accompanied by a
non-refundable application fee ("Application Fee") in the amount fixed by Licensor's
Miscellaneous Fees Schedule that is in effect at the time the application for a Supplement is made
to Licensor.
5.2 License Fees.
5.2.1 Licensee acknowledges that the FCC has adopted a Declaratory Ruling
(FCC 18-133) that relates to the compensation which went into effect on January 14, 2019 but that
Declaratory Ruling is currently the subject of litigation. Paragraphs 5.2.2, 5.2.3 and 5.2.4 govern
the payment of compensation and how it may be impacted by the Declaratory Ruling and the
resolution of related litigation during the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms.
5.2.2 During any period in which the FCC Declaratory Ruling (FCC 18-133) is
in effect and during any period in which the Alternate License Fee provisions in paragraph 5.2.3
are not applicable, the Licensee shall pay a License Fee as described in this paragraph. Licensee
shall pay to the Licensor the base amount of two hundred and seventy dollars ($270.00) per year
for each location covered by a Supplement ("License Fee"). The base amount of the License Fee
under all Supplements shall be subject to an annual adjustment of three percent (3%) applied on
each anniversary of the Effective Date. Any new Supplements entered into during a given year
shall commence at the License Fee, as adjusted by this Section to reflect the then -current
rate. There shall be no refunds of License Fees paid due to the termination or expiration of the
Agreement for any reason.
5.2.3 Alternate License Fee. In the event the relevant provisions of the FCC
Declaratory Ruling cease to be effective, (for example, because they are stayed after having gone
into effect, or they are vacated or invalidated and have not been replaced by the FCC with an
alternative provision setting a specific amount as License Fee), the Licensee shall automatically
and immediately be obligated to pay the Alternate License Fee as described in this paragraph and
Page 7 of 23
20B-9
paragraph 5.2.4, if applicable. For each location covered by a Supplement, Licensee shall pay to
the Licensor an Alternate License Fee in the base amount of one thousand five hundred dollars
($1,500) per year ("Alternate License Fee"). The base amount of the Alternate License Fee shall
be subject to an annual adjustment of three percent (3%) applied on each anniversary of the
Effective Date. There shall be no refunds of Alternate License Fee paid due to the termination or
expiration of the Agreement for any reason. If applicable state or federal law is modified and the
Alternate License Fee is not consistent with then -current applicable law, then the parties agree to
promptly amend the Agreement to revise the Alternate License Fee consistent with then -current
applicable law.
5.2.4 The Licensor agrees that irrespective of whether the relevant provisions of
the FCC Declaratory Ruling (FCC 18-133) cease to be effective, no Alternate License Fee shall
be due for any periods during which the relevant provisions of the FCC Declaratory Ruling were
in effect. However, if Licensee has paid License Fee pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2.2
above for a year, and the relevant provisions of the FCC Declaratory Ruling subsequently cease to
be effective during the same year, the Licensee shall pay the difference between the License Fee
and the Alternate License Fee for the period from the date the relevant provisions of the FCC
Declaratory Ruling ceased to be effective, until the next anniversary of the Effective Date of this
Agreement ("License Fee Adjustment"). Such License Fee Adjustment shall be paid to Licensor
on the next anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
5.3 Payment.
5.3.1 Licensee shall make the first payment of License Fee (or Alternate License
Fee, if applicable) under any Supplement within forty-five (45) days of the Supplement Effective
Date. The amount of the first payment of License Fee (or Alternate License Fee, if applicable) for
any Supplement shall be prorated to cover the period from the Supplement Effective Date of the
applicable Supplement to the next anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement. Thereafter,
License Fee (or Alternate License Fee, if applicable) shall be paid in advance for each Municipal
Facility used on or before each anniversary of the Effective Date. Acceptance by Licensor of any
payment of the License Fee (or Alternate License Fee, if applicable) shall not be deemed a waiver
by Licensor of any breach of this Agreement occurring prior thereto, nor will the acceptance by
Licensor of any such payment preclude Licensor from later establishing that a greater amount was
actually due or from collecting any balance that is due. As a prerequisite to the payment of License
Fee (or Alternate License Fee, if applicable), Licensor hereby agrees to provide to Licensee certain
documentation (the "License Documentation") evidencing Licensor's interest in, and right to
receive payments under, this Agreement, including without limitation: (i) a complete and fully
executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or equivalent, in a form acceptable to Licensee, for
any party to whom License Fee payments are to be made pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) other
documentation requested by Licensee in Licensee's reasonable discretion. From time to time
during the Term of this Agreement and within thirty (30) days of a written request from Licensee,
Licensor agrees to provide updated License Documentation in a form reasonably acceptable to
Licensee.
5.3.2 The License Fee (or Alternate License Fee, if applicable) shall be paid by
check made payable to the City and mailed or delivered to the City of Santa Ana, Public Works
Agency — Administrative Services, P.O. Box 1988, M-21, Santa Ana, CA 92702. The place and
Page 8 of 23
20B-10
time of payment may be changed at any time by Licensor upon thirty (30) days' written notice to
Licensee. Mailed payments shall be deemed paid upon the date such payment is officially
postmarked by the United States Postal Service. If postmarks are illegible to read, the payment
shall be deemed paid upon actual receipt. Licensee assumes all risk of loss and responsibility for
late payment charges if payments are made by mail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon
agreement of the parties, Licensee may pay the License Fee (or Alternate License Fee, if
applicable) by electronic funds transfer and if agreed, the Licensor will provide to Licensee bank
routing information for such purpose upon request of Licensee.
5.4 Delinquent Payment. A ten percent (10%) late fee shall be added to the License
Fee (or Alternate License Fee, if applicable) if not received by Licensor within thirty (30) calendar
days after the due date. In addition, all unpaid fee shall accrue interest on the amount due at the
rate of ten percent (10%) per annum accruing as of the first day following the expiration of the
foregoing 30-day period until paid in full. All late charges and interest payments shall become
License Fee (or Alternate License Fee, if applicable) under this Agreement.
5.5 Additional Remedies. The late fee set forth in Section 5.4 above is not exclusive,
and does not preclude the Licensor from pursuing any other or additional remedies in the event
that payments become overdue by more than 30 days.
6. CONSTRUCTION. Licensee shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local codes
related to the construction, installation, operation, maintenance, and control of Licensee's
Equipment installed on Municipal Facilities, including the installation of Replacement Facilities
where authorized. Except as provided in Section 6.7, Licensee shall not attach, install, maintain,
or operate any Equipment on Municipal Facilities without the prior written approval of an
authorized representative of the Licensor for each location as evidenced in a signed Supplement.
Licensee shall keep the Municipal Facilities free and clear from any liens arising out of any work
performed, material furnished or obligations incurred by or for Licensee.
6.1 Installation and Operation. On a quarterly basis, Licensee must furnish to
Licensor a current list and map that identifies the exact location of the Equipment in or on the
Municipal Facility. That information must be provided in a format established by the Licensor and
that is compatible with Licensor's information technology, including but not limited to ESRI
compatible GIS shapefiles.
6.2 Design Standards. The Equipment and any Replacement Facility shall comply
with the standards and guidelines for wireless facilities in the public right-of-way established by
the Director of Public Works pursuant to Section 33-234 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. All
future Supplements, Supplement renewals, and modifications to existing Equipment shall be
subject to such updated standards.
6.3 Obtaining Required Permits. Licensee acknowledges that in addition to a signed
Supplement, each installation of Equipment and maintenance shall also be subject to then -current
City permitting requirements as set out in the City's Municipal Code. Licensee agrees to comply
with the current applicable ordinances regarding such installations and maintenance as well as any
future regulations that may be adopted by the City respecting such installations and maintenance.
Licensee shall apply for the appropriate permits and pay any standard and customary permit fees.
Page 9 of 23
20B-11
6.4 Make Ready
6.4.1 Make Ready Work and Costs.
(a) Licensee shall bear responsibility for all Make -Ready work. If
Licensee or a Person other than Licensor or Licensee acting on Licensee's behalf would have to
rearrange or adjust any of its facilities in order to accommodate a new Equipment, Licensee shall
be responsible, at Licensee's sole expense, to coordinate such activity. Licensee shall be
responsible for directly paying such other Person for its charges for the same.
(b) The Equipment shall be conditioned on the completion of all Make -
Ready Work needed to establish full compliance with NESC, and with Licensor's regulatory rules
and engineering standards; provided, however, that Licensee shall not be responsible for any third -
party or Licensor costs necessary to correct third party or Licensor attachments that are non-
compliant at the time of Licensee's Application. If Licensee is requested by another Person, in
comparable circumstances, to relocate or adjust any Equipment to accommodate that Person's
facilities, subject to Licensor's written approval of such relocation, Licensee shall reasonably
cooperate with such request.
6.4.2 Notification of Completion of Installation. Within twenty (20) business
days of completing the installation of Equipment on each Municipal Facility, Licensee shall notify
Licensor of such completion.
6.5 Replacement Facilities
6.5.1 Ownership of Replacement Facilities

cooperate with Licensor to transfer ownership and any associated manufacturers' warranties of
any Replacement Facility from Licensee to Licensor.
6.5.2 Replacement Facility Provision.
Licensee shall be responsible for providing and installing any approved Replacement
Facility.
6.6 Damage, Maintenance & Repair.
6.6.1 Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense and to the satisfaction of the
Licensor: (a) remove, repair or replace any of its Equipment that is damaged or becomes detached;
and/or (b) repair any damage to ROW, Municipal Facilities, or other property, whether public or
private, caused by Licensee, its agents, employees or contractors in their actions relating to
attachment, operation, repair or maintenance of Equipment. Licensee shall complete such removal,
repair, or replacement within thirty (30) days' of written notice, unless time is extended by
Licensor in writing, in its discretion, because Licensee has demonstrated that more time is required
for the repairs.
Page 10 of 23
20B-12
6.6.2 For every twenty (20) Replacement Facilities in use by Licensee, Licensee
shall provide Licensor one (1) Replacement Facility for storage by Licensor free of charge, up to
a maximum of five (5) Replacement Facilities ("Spare Facilities"). Licensee shall retrieve all
Spare Facilities within sixty (60) days of the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
6.6.3 Licensor shall install, replace, and maintain the Municipal Facilities and
Replacement Facilities authorized to be used by Licensee pursuant to any Supplement in good
condition in accordance with Licensor's standard maintenance requirements. Such maintenance
of Municipal Facilities and Replacement Facilities shall be at Licensor's sole cost and expense,
except to the extent this Agreement provides otherwise. If a Municipal Facility or Replacement
Facility with Licensee Equipment on it needs to be cleared from the ROW (for example, due to an
accident), Licensor shall perform or cause to be performed that work. If Licensee does not remove,
repair, replace, or otherwise remediate damage to its Equipment, a Replacement Facility, or to the
ROW, Municipal Facilities or other property as required in this Section, the Licensor shall have
the option to perform or cause to be performed such removal, repair, or replacement on behalf of
Licensee and shall charge Licensee for the actual costs incurred by the Licensor. If such damage
causes a public health or safety emergency, as reasonably determined by the Licensor, the Licensor
may immediately perform reasonable and necessary repair or removal work on behalf of Licensee
and will notify Licensee as soon as practicable; provided, such repair work shall not include any
technical work on Licensee's Equipment. Licensor shall have no obligation to maintain or
safeguard the Equipment.
6.6.4 Upon the receipt of a written demand for payment accompanied by
supporting documentation for payment by the Licensor pursuant to this Section, Licensee shall
within forty-five (45) days of such receipt reimburse the Licensor for such costs.
6.7 Change in Equipment. If Licensee desires to install Equipment which is different
in any material way from the then -existing and approved Equipment, then Licensee shall first
obtain the written approval for the use and installation of such Equipment from an authorized
representative of the Licensor. Any such approval shall take the form of an amendment to the
applicable Supplement. In addition to any other submittal requirements, and if requested by
Licensor, Licensee shall provide "load" (structural) calculations for Equipment changes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may maintain, repair, and make like -kind replacements
or modifications to any Equipment that do not increase the size, height, and weight of the
Equipment or exceed the structural capacity of the Municipal Facility as established in an approved
Supplement without requiring additional Applications or Supplements.
6.8 Relocation and Displacement of Equipment.
6.8.1 This Agreement creates no right in Licensee to receive any relocation
assistance or payment for any reason under the Relocation Assistance Act, the Uniform Relocation
Assistance Act or under any existing or future law upon any termination of tenancy.
6.8.2 Licensee understands and acknowledges that Licensor may require
Licensee to relocate one or more of its Equipment installations. Licensee shall at Licensor's
direction and upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice to Licensee, relocate such Equipment at

Page 11 of 23
20B-13
needed for any of the following purposes: (a) if required for the construction, modification,
completion, repair, relocation, or maintenance of a Licensor or other public agency project;
(b) because the Equipment is interfering with or adversely affecting proper operation of
Licensor -owned Municipal Facilities; or (c) to protect or preserve the public health or safety. In
any such case, Licensor shall use reasonable efforts to afford Licensee a reasonably equivalent
alternate location. If Licensee shall fail to relocate any Equipment as requested by the Licensor
within the ninety (90) days, Licensor shall be entitled to remove or relocate the Equipment at
Licensee's sole cost and expense, without further notice to Licensee. Licensee shall pay to the
Licensor actual costs and expenses incurred by the Licensor in performing any removal work and
any storage of Licensee's property after removal within thirty (30) days of the date of a written
demand for this payment from the Licensor.
6.8.3 To the extent the Licensor has actual knowledge thereof, the Licensor will
attempt promptly to inform Licensee of the displacement or removal of any Municipal Facility on
which any Equipment is located.
6.9 Unauthorized Equipment. If Licensor discovers any Equipment has been
installed on Municipal Facilities without authorization pursuant to a Supplement, Licensor may
send an invoice to Licensee for a sum equal to five (5) times the then -current License Fee (or
Alternate License Fee, if applicable) as compensation for the unauthorized attachments, and,
within sixty (60) days from the date of such invoice, Licensee shall (i) pay the invoiced amount to
Licensor and submit an Application for the unauthorized Equipment, or (ii) produce
documentation showing Licensor's prior approval of the Equipment identified in the invoice. If,
in accordance with this Section, Licensee fails to pay all fees and submit the Application or submit
documentation satisfactorily showing Licensor's prior approval within sixty (60) days of
Licensor's invoice, Licensor may remove the unauthorized Equipment at Licensee's expense. If
Licensor removes such unauthorized Equipment, such Equipment shall become the property of
Licensor, who shall have sole rights over such Equipment's disposition. Licensor's removal of
unauthorized Equipment shall not release Licensee from its obligation to pay those invoiced fees
accruing pursuant to this Section.

days' notice to Licensor. In the event of such termination, removal of Equipment associated with

License Fee (or Alternate License Fee, if applicable) paid.

circumstances: (a) if, after installation, Licensor determines the covered Equipment has been
inoperative or abandoned for sixty (60) consecutive days, and Licensee does not provide an
adequate explanation or commence to cure within thirty (30) days following notice; (b) if
Licensee's operation under a particular Supplement is deemed by Licensor to endanger or pose a
threat to the public health, safety or welfare or interfere with the normal day-to-day operation of
any Licensor department or service; or (c) Licensor is mandated by law, a court order or decision,
or the federal, state, or local government to take certain actions that will cause or require the
removal of any Equipment.

covered by the terminated or expired Supplement from the applicable Municipal Facility and
ROW. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement,
Licensee shall promptly, safely and carefully remove all Equipment from all the applicable
Municipal Facilities and ROW. If Licensee fails to complete this removal work pursuant to this
Section, then the Licensor, upon written notice to Licensee, shall have the right at the Licensor's
sole election, but not the obligation, to perform this removal work and charge Licensee for the
actual costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable administrative costs. Licensee
shall pay to the Licensor actual costs and expenses incurred by the Licensor in performing any
removal work and any storage of Licensee's property after removal within thirty (30) days of the
date of a written demand for this payment from the Licensor. After the Licensor receives the
reimbursement payment from Licensee for the removal work performed by the Licensor, the
Licensor shall promptly make available to Licensee the property belonging to Licensee and

pursuant to this Section, or if Licensee does not remove Licensee's property within thirty (30) days
of such property having been made available by the Licensor after Licensee's payment of removal
reimbursement as described above, any items of Licensee's property remaining on or about the
ROW, Municipal Facilities, or stored by the Licensor after the Licensor's removal thereof may, at

Equipment, including, without limitation, damage caused by the Licensor's removal of the
Equipment, except to the extent that such loss or damage was caused by the willful misconduct or
negligence of the Licensor, including, without limitation, each of its elected officials, department
directors, managers, officers, agents, employees, and contractors, subject to the limitation of
liability provided in Section 7.3 below.
6.13 Hazardous Substances. Licensee agrees that Licensee, its contractors,

of action for negligence against Licensor which may hereafter arise on account of damage to
Equipment, Municipal Facilities or to the ROW, resulting from any fire, or other casualty of the
kind covered by standard fire insurance policies with extended coverage, regardless of whether or

by Licensee concerning the Municipal Facilities, Equipment or the ROW shall waive the insurer's
right of subrogation against the Licensor.
