5 ROOFTOP TELECOM LEASING: PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS, KEY PROVISIONS AND OTHER LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS Stephen A. Kisker, Esq. Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
6 CURRENT TRENDS Site / Lease Buyouts Lump sum up-front payment for existing leases and / or locations Developing secondary market Options to Lease Small income stream reserving rights to lease in the future Allows company to lock up territory without long term investment Rooftop Management Company Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
7 IS A TELECOM LEASE THE BEST USE FOR MY ROOFTOP? Solar or Wind Project Solar Panels or Micro Wind Turbines Electricity generated for general consumption Distributed generation for the site itself Can generate rent, electric revenue and/or electric savings Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
8 OTHER ROOFTOP USES Rooftop Farm Distributed generation of high quality produce in urban areas Rainwater recapture and reuse Decrease heat gain Lower heat loss Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
9 OTHER ROOFTOP USES Rooftop Bars and Restaurants Rooftop Oasis Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
10 BENEFITS OF A ROOFTOP TELECOM LEASE Income either up front or over time Roof repairs and/or maintenance a pre-condition to the deal Increase the value of the building additional income stream Can add cell service to a building without it or it can strengthen a weak signal competitive advantage Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
11 DETRIMENTS TO A ROOFTOP TELECOM LEASE Forgo future opportunities for easy up front cash Ongoing roof repairs and maintenance Loss of flexibility (casualty, condemnation, financing, sale, redevelopment, expansion) Frequently requires more than just the roof (staging areas, utility easements, parking, access and interior or ground mounted equipment) Structural issues Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
12 DEAL STRUCTURES Simple Single Lease Benefits Monetize your roof with up-front payment or periodic rent payments Condition the lease on roof repairs or upgrades and/or place the maintenance burden on the tenant Little effort for the building owner Detriments Sacrifice future opportunities Roof leaks / maintenance issues Redevelopment / sale / reconstruction restrictions or complications May not maximize the value of the entire roof Financing approval is the juice worth the squeeze? Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
13 DEAL STRUCTURES Multiple Leases on a Single Roof Benefits Opportunity to maximize value of and income generated by the roof Monetize your roof with lump sum up-front payment or periodic rent payments Condition the lease on roof repairs or upgrades up front and/or place the burden of roof maintenance on the tenant Detriments Coordination of and interference by multiple tenants Maintenance/repair obligations and disputes who caused that leak! Much more effort to put together and manage Multiple seats at the negotiating table upon casualty, condemnation, sale, redevelopment or major reconstruction Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
14 DEAL STRUCTURES Buyout of Existing Lease and Location Benefits Monetize future income stream now Eliminates the future management/administrative burden Removes the risk of payment defaults Detriments Long term agreements that are very difficult to terminate Sacrifice future opportunities Greater casualty / condemnation / redevelopment / sale / reconstruction restrictions and complications May not maximize the value of the entire roof Frowned upon by lenders Tax ramifications of lump sum payment Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
15 DEAL STRUCTURES Option to Lease Benefits Free money Very little effort and limited obligations Detriments Loss of future opportunity Disputes and litigation Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
16 LEASE, LICENSE OR EASEMENT? LEASE Benefits An estate in land that provides the tenant with greater protection (rent abatements, constructive eviction, etc.) and an alternative financing method (leasehold mortgage) If properly perfected it can be binding on future property owners In some states it offers landlord protection from construction liens filed by a tenant s contactor Detriments Frequently more difficult to terminate and regain possession (some states do not allow landlord to take possession without court order) Subject to state and municipal lease formalities and tenant protection measures such as a duty to mitigate damages and statute of frauds Frequently requires lender approval Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
17 LEASE, LICENSE OR EASEMENT? LICENSE Benefits Not an estate in land but rather a contractual right Frequently easier to terminate and regain possession Not subject to state and municipal lease formalities and tenant protection measures such as a duty to mitigate damages and the statue of frauds Does not always require lender approval Detriments May subject owner s property to construction lien resulting from licensee s failure to pay for improvements to the licensed premises May not be sufficient protection to get the deal done Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
18 LEASE, LICENSE OR EASEMENT? EASEMENT Benefits An interest in real estate that provides the holder with greater protection Not an executory contract subject to termination in bankruptcy Runs with the land Not subject to state and municipal lease formalities and tenant protection measures such as duty to mitigate damages Detriments Difficult to terminate and regain possession Not easily financeable Unorthodox May be subject to technical state formalities applicable to estates in land, such as the statute of frauds Almost always requires lender approval Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
19 PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS Roof structure Maintenance Roof warranty Roof leaks Rooftop Equipment Roof repairs and resurfacing that requires removal of equipment Casualty and condemnation Access (emergency and security concerns) Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC
20 Practical Considerations Insurance End of term obligations Termination rights Sale of host property Frequency interference Utilities generators Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC

22 Rooftop Telecom Leasing: Key Provisions
23 Scope of Installation Finite list of equipment. Upgrades, repairs and replacements of Equipment Additional equipment Identify the location of the including conduit and utility connections 23 Aesthetics are a reasonable component for approval of plans consider screening requirement or obligation to paint antennas and equipment the color of adjacent walls or rooftops as a means of camouflage.
24 CAMOUFLAGE A little color can make a big difference 24
25 Permits and Approvals Building Owners cooperation will be requested. Are fees or charges (separate from reimbursement for expenses) for permitting and zoning cooperation permissible? Lessees should be required to provide copies of all permits and licenses requested for the property, even those that owner is not required to execute. Approvals - Timing will be important; consider reasonable reasons to reject or condition approval. Utilities Direct connection with the utility provider, if possible. Request for Back-up generator is common either on rooftop or in other location, but consider limit on when it can be utilized. 25
26 26 Interference First in time. First in right. To avoid issues must be based upon time of installation of the equipment. Otherwise the rooftop becomes difficult to market in the future for other Lessees and can result in an unintended exclusive for the benefit of one Lessee. Consistency in all agreements at the property is key. If you have one or more agreements that relate back to the date of the agreement, and an antenna installed at a later date by one party interferes with an antenna that has been up and running by another Lessee, then the building owner will likely be in default of one or both agreements. Interference with consumer electronics and standard office equipment should not be an issue, due to running on different spectrums. Nevertheless, clarity that Lessee s equipment may not interfere with typical office equipment and electronics for an office building or consumer electronics and equipment in a residential building or hotel is reasonable. Agreement should include right to have the parties shut down the equipment to resolve issues, including time periods (hours not days). Consider which property will be covered by the interference language.
27 27 Access Lessees will want 24/7 access. However, limitations on this are reasonable and standard, provided it permits immediate access in the case of emergencies. A system that will permit Lessee independent access in an emergency is recommended for the safety of the property and people (no one wants a falling antenna). Standard procedures for building and rooftop access in the building should be in place, such as advance notice of access and coordination of work, except in the event of an emergency; Building Owner should have the right to accompany Lessee to accompany lessee on rooftop visits or visits to critical building areas. Contact Person for Lessee. Contact information including cellphone for the Lessee Rep. responsible for the equipment at the Building should be included in the agreement and Lessee should have an obligation to update as appropriate. If there is a problem with the antenna (connector is loose, etc.), someone should be able to contact a local rep ASAP.
28 28 Construction Staging Areas; Parking Identify location and timing for initial installation and future replacements, maintenance and upgrades Determine whether the property has limitations that will affect parking that should be addressed.
29 Alterations & Maintenance 29 Structural - the weight of the equipment can be significant, particularly if generators or equipment rooms will be installed on the roof. Deliver rooftop AS IS. Lessee perform its own tests to determine what, if any, weight supporting structures must be added. Both parties should have a copy of the report at the commencement of the installation so if problems or questions arise later the parties have a baseline to look to; consider, an obligation on the parties to share reports in the future, should structural questions arise. Agreement should address party responsible for installing weight supporting structures. Building Owner should have a self-help right if it feels the lessee is in default, lessee s will similarly seek this to address structural issue. Typically, rooftop agreements do not impose an obligation on the Lessee to be responsible for the roof. However, standard lease language regarding penetrations to the rooftop, compliance with rooftop warranties and the obligation to repair, are standard. Lessee should be obligated to properly label all equipment and cabling.
30 30 Obligations upon Termination; Security Deposit/Bonds The obligation to remove the equipment, particularly cabling, should be included. Structural items will likely be handled differently than antennas, regardless of the party that paid for the installation. Security Deposits? Bonds? Are these common? Are these appropriate?
31 31 Insurance & Indemnities Tenant Insurance As with any other lease, obligation to carry insurance is critical naming landlord and its property manager, if applicable, as additional insureds. Installations will almost certainly be handled by subcontractors so it s crucial to obtain insurance certificates from the parties performing construction services prior to allowing them onto the roof. Landlord Insurance would be negotiated similarly to other lease negotiations, keeping in mind that lessee will not typically be reimbursing for a share of common area expenses or for insurance costs and whether landlord will be agreeing to rebuild in the event of a casualty. Indemnifications This would be handled similarly to other leases at the building considering the use and rental stream involved.
32 32 Casualty & Condemnation Lessees will typically want the ability to locate a cell-onwheels (cow) on the property during any outages due to a casualty. Consider the costs and benefits. Should Lessee and/or landlord be obligated to rebuild following a casualty; this will depend not only upon the revenue stream, but would also depend upon the answer to the above question. Condemnation Could a portion of the rooftop itself be condemned for use for data or communications purposes? Is the building as a whole likely to be condemned? Relocation costs are of great concerns to lessees.
33 Compliance with Lighting Requirements; FCC Requirements 33 FCC Regulations should be the responsibility of the Lessee. Lighting requirements will depend upon the sophistication of building owner/property manager and the height of the building. If the owner is not currently aware of whether its building is subject to lighting requirements, then this obligation should be placed on the Lessee. Costs should be based upon the party whose property is the result of the need to comply.
34 Renewal & Termination Rights 34 Lessees will want automatic renewal options; with set rental rate increases, my opinion is that this is reasonable, however the time period for when the non-renewal notice is given is important. Building Owners should consider a termination right in the event of a major redevelopment. Such a termination right would typically be granted only after the initial and one or more renewal terms and would typically require a fee; consider redevelopment/relocation rights as an alternative. Termination by the Lessee for convenience is often requested Lessee termination due to loss of permits, change in laws, is often agreed upon subject to conditions, such as timely application for permits and diligent pursuit.
35 35 Assignment and Subletting Permitted assignment language is important to Lessees as it is an industry dominated by acquisitions, consolidation, dispositions. Subletting is a significantly different issue and if the request to sublet is made, a determination by the Building Owner of the Lessees intentions for the building must be determined.
36 36 Relocation & Redevelopment Preferable to simply terminating an agreement for redevelopment would be a relocation. Likewise, if relocation is required during the initial term or initial renewal terms, the cost should be on the landlord the further out in the terms, the greater the likelihood that the Lessee will agree to cover a portion of the cost. Lessee s will typically require that the new equipment be up and running or a cell-on-wheels be permitted during relocation. In planning a redevelopment, or work that will require a relocation, lead time for permits to move the equipment must be kept in mind. Allowing relocation at the Property versus termination will make the Building more marketable initially and planning a communication site in connection with a redevelopment often allows for an improved communication site for both parties.
37 Right of First Refusal. Notice 37 on Sale The addition of provisions to grant a right of first refusal are becoming more common based upon the structures discussed by Stephen and the development of a secondary market in these agreements. Should be limited to communications companies or otherwise specifically addressing rooftop rights and not any offers on the property generally. Should be triggered by offers the owner is willing to accept and not simply offers received. When representing the party benefitting from the ROFR, clarify that there is no obligation to match terms added in bad faith or for the purpose of undermining the right of first refusal. This is implied in some jurisdictions, but not all. Obligating a building owner to provide notice prior to a sale of the building (separate from a ROFR) is a fairly significant obligation and one that should be avoided.
38 When done right, the Rooftop can become a profitable part of a Building. 38 Janna Charlton Webber Charlton Webber, PLLC 5615 Kirby, Suite 420 Houston, Texas Janna.Webber@charltonwebber.com
