Subject: RE: Joint Use with Avista Utilities (Hope, ID and Malden, WA)
Hello Mr. Geibel,
I am returning a fully executed agreement via regular mail today. The certificate of insurance is in place through 12/19/09.
A renewal for 2010 will need to be sent to my attention prior to 12/19/09.
Please let me know when you become the legal owner of the cable system in Hope, Idaho and Malden, Washington. We
will need to receive proof of the transaction either by a Bill of Sale or Transfer of Ownership signed by the previous legal
owners to you. We would also need to know about any other communities you may become the operator/owner within
Avista's service territory.
The construction standards were sent in a previous email on July 13, 2009 to Mr. Randy Turner along with the design
requirements. Please refer to those documents for making sure the cable you are acquiring meets the conditions. You will
be responsible for the cable and will want to have it fielded for any repairs and meet compliance requirements.
Should you desire to install new cable/fiber on Avista's poles, you will need to provide a designed route layout and an
application for each route to be reviewed by our joint use administrator/inspector. No cable is allowed to be installed on
our poles until the final approval has been given in writing by an Avista representative.
Frank Meland, Avista's joint use administrator is an excellent resource for any construction questions. He can be reached
at [phone] or [e-mail].

tained from Licensor, and specifying the applicable information in an RA or SA in the
form of Exhibit H or Exhibit J, attached hereto, or as may from time to time be pre-
scribed by Licensor.
2.3. Requirements And Specifications Of Installation
a. Licensee shall be a member in good standing of the "One Call System" for under-
ground facility locates in all of Licensor's service areas in which Licensee has under-
ground facilities.
b. Licensee shall coordinate construction activity with Licensor in order to minimize inter-
ruption and interference with Licensor's electrical operations.
C. All Communication Facilities will meet Licensor's specifications for use in and on Li-
censor's Structures. Licensee shall install and maintain non-corrosive durable tags or
signs suitable for outdoor use and resistant to ultraviolet radiation at each Pole, on
each control box at each pole and at all duct faces in each manhole and vault to identi-
fy the name of the owner and a 24-hour emergency telephone number. If a third party
Overlash is constructed, then labeling shall be provided on each Cable at each Pole.
d. Only those items designated in the RLA or SLA may be installed in and on the Struc-
tures.
e. Licensee shall neither handle nor change the position of any electrical conductors or
equipment belonging to Licensor. In the event that such changes are required, Licen-
see shall make a request to Licensor that Licensor make the change at Licensee's
sole expense.
f. Licensee shall neither handle nor change the position of any Communication Facilities
belonging to third parties in or on Licensor's Structures. In the event that such
changes are required, Licensee shall make suitable arrangements with the third par-
ties and will deliver appropriate evidence of authorization from those parties to Licen-
sor prior to performance of such changes.
g. During work in or on Licensor's Structures, Licensee will exercise due care to avoid
damage to the facilities of Licensor and others in or on or adjacent to the Structures.
Licensee will make an immediate report of the occurrence of any such damage to the
owner of the damaged facilities and, on demand, will reimburse said owner for the en-
tire expense incurred in making repairs.
h. Licensee's employees and contractors shall be qualified by training to work in and on
Licensor's Structures and in close proximity to high voltage electric cables, conductors
and equipment.
i. Licensor has the right to inspect and monitor all work by Licensee in, on and near Li-
censor's Structures.
j. Licensor, at its sole discretion, may restrict certain Structures to only Licensor's work-
men.
2.4. Make-Ready
a. At Licensor's sole discretion, Licensee may be required to pay prior to construction,
part or all of the estimated Make-Ready cost to be incurred by Licensor in connection
with this Agreement. If the actual cost exceeds the pre-payment, Licensee will reim-
burse Licensor for the difference. If the pre-payment exceeds the actual cost, Licen-
sor will reimburse Licensee for the difference. All such costs and expenses will be paid
within thirty (30) days after receipt of a statement of such costs and expenses and

Master License Agreement
Exhibit G
Rev Oct 19, 2004
Page 5 of 13
reasonable supporting documentation. The payment of Make-Ready costs does not
create or vest in Licensee any ownership or property rights in the facilities of Licensor
or others.
b. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, amounts recoverable by Licensor he-
reunder will consist of fully allocated costs for labor (including but not limited to all pay-
roll costs and overheads and all applicable engineering, supervision, and administra-
tive overheads), transportation, employee expenses, reprographic services, supplies,
telephone service and other expenses incurred by Licensor in connection with:
(1) processing, review of RAs or SAs including review of supporting materials and
a field review of the Route or Site, and negotiation of RLAs or SLAs;
(2) removal, modification, or installation of Licensor's Structures and electrical
power facilities to provide suitable Structures;
(3) preparation of the Route or Site; and
(4) inspection and monitoring of installation of Communication Facilities.
Licensor may require Licensee to pay the above listed costs prior to the expenses be-
ing incurred by Licensor.
C. Communication Facilities may be installed, at Licensee's sole expense, by either Li-
censee or Licensor.
2.5. Existing Structures
a. If in Licensor's judgment, Licensee's existing Communication Facilities in or on any
Structure interferes with or would make substantially more difficult or expensive the
placing therein or thereon of any additional facilities desired by Licensor and if such
additional Licensor facilities could be placed in or on such Structure only by removing
or rearranging such facilities, Licensor shall, when practical, notify Licensee of the
rearrangements and transfers of facilities desired in order to continue the Attachment
of Licensee's facilities, together with an estimate of the cost of making any such
changes.
b. If Licensee desires to continue to maintain its facilities in or on such Structure and so
notifies Licensor, Licensor shall make such Structure changes and Licensee shall
make such rearrangements or transfers of its facilities.
C. If Licensee does not so notify Licensor, Licensee shall be allowed thirty(30) days from
such notification by Licensor within which to remove its Communication Facilities from
such Structure, provided however, that Licensor in any emergency beyond its control,
may require the Licensee to remove its Communication Facilities in the time required
by such emergency. If facilities are not removed from the Structures by Licensee with-
in (30) days from notification by Licensor, or in emergencies when required by Licen-
sor, Licensor may remove Licensee's facilities at Licensee's sole risk and expense
and Licensee, on demand, shall reimburse Licensor for the entire reasonable expense
thereby incurred.
d. If Licensee installs Communication Facilities and structures beyond Licensor's existing
Structures, and if Licensor shall later desire to use such structures for its facilities, the
use, ownership, or Annual Fees of the structures may be negotiated by the parties. If
Licensee sells such structures to Licensor, such sale will be at the Remaining Value of
the structures.
2.6. Licensee's Requirement for new Structures
a. Licensee may request that Licensor install new structures by submitting such request
on an RA or SA. The responsibilities for the work and expense of installation will be as
agreed herein for Make-Ready. Licensee will install its Communication Facilities on
the new structures at its own sole expense in accordance with the terms herein.
b. If Licensor declines to install the structures, Licensee may install its own structures at
its own expense provided that Licensee's facilities are installed in a location and man-

ner to not encroach or interfere with access to and operation of Licensor's existing
Facilities.
2.7. Maintenance of Communication Facilities and Structures
a. Licensee shall coordinate maintenance activity with Licensor in order to minimize inter-
ruption and interference with Licensor's electrical operations.
b. Licensee's Communication Facilities in and on Structures shall be maintained:
(1) in a safe condition,
(2) in a manner which will not conflict or interfere with the use of such Structures
by Licensor or others using such Structures, or with the use of facilities of Li-
censor or others in, on, or from time to time placed in or on such Structures,
(3) in conformity with such requirements and specifications as Licensor shall from
time to time prescribe, and
(4) in accordance with all applicable state and local laws, regulations, and rules
pertaining to Structure construction, including, without limiting the scope of the
foregoing, the National Electrical Safety Code and the Washington Administra-
tive Code.
C. In the event that planned modifications or repairs to the electric system require that the
Communication Facilities be temporarily disconnected or taken out of service, Licen-
sor will coordinate such interruption with Licensee in advance to the extent practical.
d. Licensor reserves to itself the right to maintain its Structures and to operate its facili-
ties in the manner it deems necessary, and shall not be liable to Licensee for any inter-
ruption to Licensee's service or for any interference with the operation of Licensee's
Communication Facilities arising in any manner from the use of such Poles and the
facilities thereon by Licensor.
2.8. Transfer, Relocate, Replace, or Remove Communication Facilities
a. Licensee shall at its own sole risk and expense transfer, relocate, replace, or remove
its Communication Facilities in or on Licensor's Structures within thirty (30) days of
written notice from Licensor.
(1) In cases where Licensor, for reasons beyond its control, cannot maintain a
Structure or Structures in the existing location for such thirty (30) days, Licen-
see will remove its Communication Facilities in the time required by Licensor.
(2) In cases of emergency, Licensor may, at Licensee's sole risk and expense, re-
locate, replace, or remove such Communication Facilities, transfer it to substi-
tuted Structures or perform any other work in connection with such Communi-
cation Facilities that may be required in the maintenance, replacement, re-
moval, or relocation of such poles. Licensee, on demand, will reimburse Li-
censor for any expense thereby incurred by Licensor.
(3) In cases where Licensee cannot remove its Communication Facilities in the
time allowed, Licensor may abandon the affected Structures to Licensee.
Upon notification in writing by Licensor, Licensee will become owner of such
structures and will be solely responsible for future maintenance, repair and
removal of those structures.
b. Licensee agrees that restoration of electrical service takes precedence over restora-
tion of damaged Communication Facilities.
(1) In the event of the failure of an electrical cable, conductor, Structure, or elec-
tric equipment, the restoration of electrical service may require Forced Ter-
mination. Licensor will notify Licensee in advance of such termination if prac-
tical, or in a reasonable time following such termination.
(2) In the event of a Forced Termination, Licensee may apply for and Licensor will
make a reasonable effort to expedite service on an alternative Route or Site if
one is available. Such application will be made under the terms and conditions
herein.

Master License Agreement
Exhibit G
Rev Oct 19, 2004
Page 7 of 13
C. In the event that the Structure with Licensee's Communication Facilities is required by
Licensor to satisfy the capacity or reliability needs of electrical service, Licensor will
notify Licensee least thirty (30) days in advance as to the time and location of the ne-
cessary termination of service. Licensee may apply for and Licensor will make a rea-
sonable effort to expedite service on an alternative Route or Site if one is available.
Such application will be made under the terms and conditions herein.
d. Licensee may at any time remove its Communication Facilities from any Structures or
cease its use of part or all of a Route or Site. Such removal or cessation shall consti-
tute a termination of Licensee's right to use such Structure.
(1) In each such case, Licensee shall give Licensor thirty (30) days prior written
notice of such removal, cessation, or abandonment in an RA or SA in the form
of Exhibit H attached hereto or as may be from time to time prescribed by Li-
censor.
e. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to compel Licensor to maintain any par-
ticular Structure or Structures for a period longer than demanded by its own service
requirements.
3. ADMINISTRATIVE RULES
3.1. Compliance with Rules and Regulations
a. Licensee's installations shall be in accordance with all state and local laws, rules and
regulations, including without limitation the National Electrical Safety Code, and with
Licensor's specifications and guidelines as they may from time to time be prescribed
by Licensor.
b. The Parties agree to take all reasonable actions as may be appropriate or required to
comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to them jointly or severally by
reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
C. This Agreement will in all respects be interpreted, construed and enforced in accor-
dance with the laws of the State of Washington, except that the laws of the State in
which an Attachment is located will apply in the case of any action for unlawful or forc-
ible detainer, ejectment, or similar action to remove Licensee's Attachments from Li-
censor's Poles or Ducts. Venue in any action concerning this Agreement, other than
one seeking to remove Licensee's Attachments, will be laid in the State or Federal
court sitting in Spokane County, Washington.
d. To the extent that this Agreement, any parts of this Agreement, attachments to the
Agreement, or the RLAs or SLAs are subject to the authority of regulatory agencies
having jurisdiction over Licensor or Licensee, each Party will promptly submit this
Agreement, attachments to the Agreement, or the RLAs or SLAs to the regulatory
agencies having such jurisdiction over such Party and will take such additional action
as may reasonably be required to promptly obtain any required approvals or other ac-
tion by such agencies.
3.2. Licensee's Employees, Agents And Contractors
a. In furtherance of the security of communications, Licensee agrees as follows:

Master License Agreement
Exhibit G
Rev Oct 19, 2004
Page 8 of 13
(1) To file with the Joint Use Administrator of Licensor a current list of one or
more of Licensee's employees who are responsible for work performed on or
about any of such Structures under this agreement and who can be contacted
during normal or emergency work on/in such Structures.
(2) To provide suitable identification to each of its employees, agents and contrac-
tors.
(3) To inform each employee, agent and contractor of all rules and regulations
applicable to this Agreement.
3.3. Existing Contracts And Agreements
a. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as affecting any rights or privileges pre-
viously conferred by Licensor or any other utility, by contract or otherwise, to others not
parties to this Agreement to use any Structures covered by this Agreement; and Li-
censor and such other utility shall have the right to continue and extend such rights or
privileges.
b. All existing agreements between Licensee and Licensor for the joint use of Structures
within Licensor's service territory in the States of Idaho and Washington are, by mutual
consents, hereby abrogated and annulled, provided however that such abrogation
and annulment shall not in any way affect any claim, protection, or right to any pay-
ment or damages which may be asserted by or against either Party hereto on account
of doing or failure to do or perform any or all acts appertaining to such existing agree-
ments that were to be done by it prior to the date of this Agreement.
3.4. Assignment and Transfer
a. Licensee shall not assign or transfer any privilege granted to it hereunder without the
prior consent in writing of Licensor, except Licensee may assign any rights or privileg-
es granted hereunder to any person or business entity which is a parent, subsidiary, or
affiliate of Licensee without Licensor's consent by notifying Licensor prior to such as-
signment. Otherwise this agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the heirs or successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Consent will not be unrea-
sonably withheld.
b. Licensee shall not sublet any privileges granted hereunder without prior written con-
sent from Licensor, and consent will not be unreasonably withheld, provided that this
section shall not affect Licensee's right to use capacity of Licensee's Communication
Facilities. Licensee shall maintain all responsibility for facilities that are sublet. Not-
withstanding the foregoing, Licensor specifically reserves the right to refuse consent to
any third party installation which would violate the safety, engineering and attachment
requirements identified in this Master License Agreement, especially as they apply to
clearances, line separation and the structural integrity of Licensor's facilities.
3.5. Severability and Survival
a. If any portion of the Agreement, including all attachments thereto, is stricken as an
invalid provision, the remaining portions of this Agreement and attachments shall re-
main in full force and effect and shall continue to be binding upon the parties.
b. All provisions of the Agreement and attachments which may reasonably be interpreted
or construed as surviving the completion, termination, or cancellation of this Agree-
ment, will survive the completion, termination, or cancellation of this Agreement.
3.6. Audits and Reports
a. Licensee shall deliver a written report to Licensor by May 1 of each year enumerating
the current number of Attachments by Route or Site. Such report shall be in the form
of Exhibit L attached hereto or as may be from time to time prescribed by Licensor.
(1) Licensor may perform full or sample audits of Licensee's facilities covered by
this Joint Use Master License Agreement from time to time. Licensor will noti-
fy Licensee prior to the scheduled start of the audit to allow Licensee to partic-

Master License Agreement
Exhibit G
Rev Oct 19, 2004
Page 9 of 13
ipate. Licensor will report the audit results to Licensee within sixty(60) days of
the audit completion.
(2) If the number of Attachments reported is less than 95% of the audit results,
then the difference will be invoiced to Licensee at no more than three(3) times
the current Attachment rate times the number of unreported Attachments
times the number of years since the last audit. Such invoice for unreported
Attachments will be paid by Licensee within thirty(30) days after receipt.
(3) Licensor may require Licensee to provide maps or equivalent documentation
of the location of Licensee facilities, including third party Overlashing, on Li-
censor structures.
3.7. Licensee's Statement of Inspection
a. Licensee's installations shall be in accordance with all state and local laws, rules and
regulations, including without limitation the National Electrical Safety Code, and with
Licensor's specifications and guidelines as they may from time to time be prescribed
by Licensor. Licensee shall perform a compliance inspection of all existing Licensee
facilities covered by this Agreement, within six (6) months of the effective date of this
Agreement. Licensee shall submit to Licensor a Statement of Inspection for the exist-
ing facilities. The Statement of Inspection shall be signed by a duly authorized repre-
sentative of Licensee and shall identify all attachments (by location and nature of defi-
ciency) which do not meet the safety and other attachment requirements specified
herein. The Statement shall identify all non-compliant attachments (including all non-
compliant subletting of the license to attach to Licensor's Structures) and shall commit
to a schedule for the correction of all attachment deficiencies as required by Licensor.
The Statement shall finally contain a representation that the Licensee representative
has reviewed its installation policies and practices and that such policies and practices
are consistent with industry standards for safety and compliance with codes and stan-
dards.
b.. At the conclusion of all new attachment projects Licensee shall perform an inspection
of the completed installation and submit a Statement of Inspection, as specified in
section 3.7.a, above.
C. To the extent that an attachment deficiency is not cured as required by Licensor,
committed to by Licensee in a Statement of Inspection, or identified by Licensor and
Licensee is appropriately notified as provided herein, failure of Licensee to cure defi-
ciencies shall constitute a termination of Licensee's right to use such Structures as de-
termined by Licensor. Licensor reserves the right to correct any attachment deficien-
cies at Licensee's sole risk and expense and Licensee agrees to pay Licensor for all
expenses incurred by Licensor to remedy deficiencies. Licensor may also charge Li-
censee for any expenses it incurs as a result of an unauthorized attachment by Licen-
see.
3.8. Defaults
a. Either party shall be in default of this Agreement if it fails to perform any material co-
venant or agreement to be performed by it under this Agreement, or is subject to revo-
cation of franchise rights and/or business license, and such failure continues unreme-
died for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after written notice is given to the default-
ing party. The party not at default then, at its option may declare this Agreement to be
in default and may terminate this Agreement or the related RLA or SLA.
b. If Licensee defaults, it shall remove all of its Communication Facilities from Licensor's
Structures within sixty(60) days from written notification of default given by Licensor.
C. If Licensee cannot remove its Communication Facilities from any Structure within the
time allowed for such removal or cannot perform any other work which it is obligated to
do under this Agreement, Licensor may elect to do such work at Licensee's sole risk

Master License Agreement
Exhibit G
Rev Oct 19, 2004
Page 10 of 13
and expense, and Licensee, on demand, will reimburse Licensor for the entire reason-
able expense thereby incurred.
d. The failure of either Party to insist upon or enforce strict performance by the other Par-
ty of any of the provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise any rights under this
Agreement, will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of its
right to assert or rely upon any such provisions or rights in that or any other instance;
rather, the same will be and remain in full force and effect.
3.9. Force Majeure
a. If a party is delayed in, hindered in, or prevented from performance required under
this Agreement (other than any delay or failure relating to payment of money, includ-
ing, without limitation, the Annual Fees and all reimbursable costs and expenses de-
scribed elsewhere in this Agreement) by circumstances beyond its control, including,
without limitation, labor disputes, fire, explosion, flood, drought, acts of God, war, or
other hostilities, and civil commotion, domestic or foreign governmental acts, orders,
or regulations, inability to obtain facilities or supplies, or if Licensee or Licensor is noti-
fied by a state or federal regulatory body that any aspect of this Agreement or the
RLAs or SLAs does not comply with any applicable law, regulation, rule, or policy, then
such Party is excused from such performance for the period of delay. The period for
the performance of any such act will then be extended for the period of such delay.
4. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
4.1. Damage, Loss, Or Injury Claims
a. Licensee releases and will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensor from any
and all claims, losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses (including, but not li-
mited to, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with the location of
any Attachments, the performance of the Licensee's work, the operation of the At-
tachments or the system of which the Attachments are a part, the enforcement of this
Agreement by Licensor, any default under or breach of this Agreement by Licensee or
the acts or omissions of Licensee or any of its suppliers or subcontractors of any tier,
the respective successors and assigns of Licensee or any of such suppliers or sub-
contractors, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, or
anyone acting on Licensee's behalf in connection with this Agreement. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the foregoing release, indemnity and hold harmless
will apply regardless of any act, omission, fault, or strict liability of Licensor; provided,
however, that Licensee will not be required to so indemnify Licensor against any claim,
loss, cost, liability, damage or expense to the extent the same is caused by or results
from the negligence or willful misconduct of Licensor. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST LICENSOR BY ANY EMPLOYEE OF THE LICENSEE,
LICENSEE WAIVES ANY DEFENSE TO ENFORCEMENT OF THIS PARAGRAPH
BASED UPON ANY IMMUNITY, DEFENSE, OR PROTECTION UNDER ANY
WORKERS' COMPENSATION, INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE, OR SIMILAR LAWS (IN-
CLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WASHINGTON INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE
ACT, TITLE 51, OF THE REVISED CODE OF WASHINGTON). THE WAIVER SET
FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY NEGO-
TIATED BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
b. The Licensee in each instance agrees to waive any claim against the Licensor for third
party interference with the operation of the facility of the Licensee.
C. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER
PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER FOR ANY: LOSS OF PROFIT
OR REVENUE, LOSS OF USE OF THE ATTACHMENTS OR THE SYSTEM, CLAIMS
OF CUSTOMERS OF LICENSEE FOR SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, AND INDI-
RECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, ECONOMIC, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, AS A RESULT OF OR RELATED TO THE ATTACHMENTS, THE EXIS-
TENCE OF THE ATTACHMENTS, OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING IN

Master License Agreement
Exhibit G
Rev Oct 19, 2004
Page 11 of 13
CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE, PROD-
UCT LIABILITY OR STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE. LICENSOR'S LIABILITY
(WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE AND NOTWITHSTANDING
ANY FAULT, NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR IMPUTED),
PRODUCT LIABILITY OR STRICT LIABILITY OF LICENSOR) UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT WILL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE COMPENSATION ACTUALLY
PAID TO LICENSOR FOR THE ATTACHMENT OR THAT PORTION OF THE AT-
TACHMENTS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE SPECIFIC CLAIM.
d. Licensee will be responsible for and will bear any and all risk of loss, deterioration,
theft, vandalism or destruction of, or damage to the Attachments and anything used
(or to be used or consumed) in connection with the work required to install, maintain,
and/or remove, or replace its Communication Facilities.
4.2. Insurance
a. Licensee will ensure that Licensee and all persons performing work on behalf of Li-
censee and its suppliers or subcontractors maintain in effect at all times during the
work, coverage or insurance in accordance with the applicable laws relating to work-
er's compensation and employer's liability insurance (including, but not limited to, the
Washington Industrial Insurance Act, where applicable, and the laws of the state in
which any such person was hired), regardless of whether such coverage is mandatory
or merely elective under the law. Licensee will furnish to Licensor such assurance and
evidence of such coverage of insurance (such as copies of insurance policies and/or
Certificates of Compliance) as Licensor may request.
b. Licensee will secure and maintain in effect at all times during the Term of this Agree-
ment the following insurance:
(1) Commercial General Liability Coverage, including personal injury, bodily injury,
property damage, operations hazard, independent contractor coverage, con-
tractual liability and products and completed operations liability, in limits not
less than five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) for each occurrence (combined
single limit) with Licensee named as insured therein and Licensor named as
an additional insured therein as their respective interests may appear.
(2) Licensee shall obtain and maintain business automobile insurance with a limit
of no less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) combined single limits of bodily
injury and property damage, including owned, non-owned and hired car liability
applicable to any licensed vehicle used in connection with Licensee's work on
or use of Licensor's Structures. Licensor shall be named as an additional in-
sured under such policy.
(3) Upon thirty days notice, such other insurance in such amounts as may from
time to time be reasonably requested by Licensor against other insurable ha-
zards related to the Structures (including, without limitation, hazards to Licen-
sor property related to Licensee's activities therein or thereon), which at the
time are customarily insured against by owners or operators of similar types of
properties. Upon thirty days notice, Licensor may require changes in the
amounts or limits of the insurance to be maintained under this section to main-
tain reasonably equivalent coverage due to inflation, changes in Licensee's
business operations, changes in law, or changes in policy terms.
C. All required insurance policies must be taken out with reputable national insurers that
are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the Attachments are located. All
policies must contain an undertaking by the insurers to notify Licensor in writing not
less than fifteen (15) days before any material change, reduction in coverage, cancel-
lation, or termination of the insurance. Each insurance policy maintained by Licensee
will provide coverage on an occurrence rather than a claims-made basis and will pro-
vide that no act, omission, or default by Licensor will render the policy void as to Li-

Master License Agreement

Rev Oct 19, 2004
Page 12 of 13
censor or of Licensor's right to recover thereon. All policies will be written as primary
policies, not contributing with, and not in excess of coverage which Licensor may car-
ry.
d. On or before commencement of any work and thereafter upon the request of Licensor,
Licensee will provide certificates of insurance evidencing the required insurance and
upon Licensor's request, copies of any required policy.
e. Licensee will also furnish Licensor with such additional assurance and evidence of
such insurance as Licensor may from time to time request. Within thirty (30) days af-
ter any notice of termination, cancellation, expiration, or alteration in any policy of in-
surance required under this Agreement, Licensee will deliver to Licensor a Certificate
of Insurance acceptable to Licensor with respect to any replacement policy.
f. Licensee will ensure that any policies of insurance that Licensee or any of its suppliers
or subcontractors of any tier carry as insurance against property damage or against
liability for personal injury (including death) or property damage will include a provision
therein providing a waiver of the insurer's right to subrogation against Licensor. To the
extent permitted by its insurance policies, Licensee hereby waives all rights of subro-
gation against Licensor.
g. Licensee shall provide evidence of assets adequate to cover its self-insured limits.

other supply equipment mounted below the primary arm,then the minimum clearance between the
supply conductors and the communication space is 10 feet 6 inches from 751 V to 34,500V.
N6. For all new Communication attachments on 45 foot or taller poles with the primary and neutral
conductors mounted on a crossarm at the same level and there is no other supply equipment mounted
below the primary arm,Avista Utilities requires a minimum clearance at the pole of 14 feet from the
highest communication cable to the primary crossarm bolt from 751 V to 34,50OV. This allows for
future circuit upgrades to three phase operation with the neutral framed in the secondary position.
N7. For all new Communication attachments on 45 foot or taller poles,the highest point of attachment
at the support must not exceed 23.5 feet from the ground, unless approved otherwise by the Joint Use

clearances between communication cables and electric conductors and facilities.
N8. Clearances at the pole are from the horizontal plane touching the lowest part of the Avista Utilities wire,
mast arm,secondary rack,or top of conduit to the horizontal plane touching the uppermost part of the
communication cable.
N9. The horizontal clearance between the riser conduit and communication cables and hardware must be
at least 2 inches.
N10. No conduit covering is required in the communication space on a vertical wire from earth ground to the
electric neutral.
N 11. Supply Space is the vertical space on a pole occupied by the electric supply conductors and/or
hardware.
N12. All vertical clearances at the support apply to spans less than 400 feet. For longer spans additional
clearances may be required.
N13. Clearances to primary facilities may be reduced to 7 feet for brackets and hardware or as approved by
the Joint Use Administrator.
N14. Clearances to primary facilities may be reduced to 40 inches for shielded primary cable from OV
to 8,700V installed vertically down the pole from where it enters the top of a primary conduit riser.
