Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Second Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement (defined below). RECITALS A. The Town and Western PCS III Corporation (“Original Lessee”) entered into an Option and Site Lease Agreement dated December 4, 1998 (the “Initial Agreement”), whereby Lessor leased to Original Lessee certain real property, together with access and utility easements (the “Premises”), all located within certain real property owned by Lessor at or about 17230 East Shea Boulevard, Fountain Hills, Arizona (the “Property”), for the purpose of occupying, installing, operating and maintaining a Communications Facility. B. The Initial Agreement contained an option for Original Lessee to lease the Property within the first 18 months of the Date of the Initial Agreement, which could be extended an additional six months upon written notification and the payment of a fee. The Lease Term would be five years, with two five-year Renewal Terms. C. On or about April 23, 2009, T-Mobile West Corporation, as successor-in-interest to VoiceStream PCS III Corporation, successor-in-interest to Original Lessee, gave Lessor notice of its intent to renew the Initial Agreement for the final five-year Term, commencing on June 10, 2009. D. On or about November 30, 2012, CCTMO LLC acquired exclusive rights to manage and operate Lessee’s Communications Facility on the Premises on behalf of Lessee. The Town issued its written consent on January 31, 2013. E. The Initial Agreement was amended on June 10, 2014 (the “First Amendment”), to (i) extend the term of the Agreement and (ii) increase the monthly rent paid by Lessee to Lessor under the Initial Agreement. The Initial Agreement and the First Amendment are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreement.” F. Lessor and Lessee desire to enter into this Second Amendment to extend the term of the Agreement. 2359554.1 Site Name: Town of Fountain Hills Business Unit #: 828549 2 AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are hereby incorporated by reference, the promises and covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows: 1.

Notary Public (Affix notary seal here) Issue 12 - April 3, 2015 Legislative Overview With a flurry of conference committees and floor activity the legislature made its final push this week towards sine die, and formally adjourned on April 3rd. There was an unprecedented move by the Senate, who concluded their business unilaterally while the House still had many more bills to consider. Several measures that needed Senate action therefore perished, including SB 1291: firearms; state preemption; penalties and SB 1419: liquor licenses; stores; proximity exemption. Many bills are however awaiting the governor's action. After the session is over Governor Ducey has 10 days to sign, veto or let bills become law without his signature. Most signed bills will become law on the general effective date of July 3, 2015. The League will publish its New Laws Report within the next few weeks. There you will find all of the bills that affect cities and towns, with summaries, effective dates and links to the actual bill language. In the meantime feel free to contact us for clarification on pertinent legislative matters. Firearms in Public Buildings On Monday HB 2320: firearms; permit holders; public places, sponsored by Rep. Brenda Barton (R-Payson) failed in Committee of the Whole on a roll call vote of 14-15. This measure would have cost the state, cities and counties millions of dollars if those public entities chose to refuse access to their buildings to those people who carry a firearm and have a concealed weapon permit. The League is grateful to those legislators who sided with us. Pawnbroker Transactions HB 2419: prohibited transaction fees; municipalities failed to pass the Senate Third Read this Thursday even after being reconsidered. Sponsored by Rep. David Stevens (R-Sierra Vista) the bill would have prohibited cities and towns from charging a transaction fee at pawn shops. This fee is used for law enforcement activity related to tracking stolen goods. We are appreciative of the senators that voted against this anti-public safety bill. Legislative Bill Monitoring (All bills being actively monitored by the League can be found here.) HB 2320: firearms; permit holders; public places HB 2419: municipalities; pawnbrokers; gold; prohibition fees (commission fees; payment method) Legislative Bulletin is published by the League of Arizona Cities and Towns.

Please disregard the similar file you received from me in March. Although we thought this matter had been settled by the amendment included in SB1216, the Senate had a different idea. They added a separate assessment on the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) and the Pima Association of Governments (PAG) for their share of DOR’s total operations. This amendment also changed the analyzed period from the last two fiscal years to just FY14 only; and it clearly identifies the specific County tax statutes to include in the base. The combination of all these changes resulted in the Cities total share rising by roughly $208,000. The first sheet shows the calculation of the split between cities/towns, counties, MAG and PAG as a whole. The second sheet shows the allocation to each of the cities and towns (and each of the counties) based on their respective 2010 Census population numbers. The City/Town total share is based on revenues collected on behalf of cities and towns by DOR during FY14 from: State Shared TPT (A.R.S. 42-5029); direct Program city/town TPT (42-6001); and Urban Revenue Sharing (43-206). The County share is based on revenues collected on behalf of counties by DOR during FY14 from: State Shared TPT (A.R.S. 42-5029); and all of the direct county TPT imposed under the stated A.R.S. sections (42-6103, 42-6107, 42-6108, 42-6108.01, 42-6109, 42-6109.01, 42- 6110, 42-6111, 42-6112). The MAG share is based on revenues collected on behalf of MAG by DOR during FY14 from direct TPT (42-6105 – this is the 0.50% TPT in Maricopa County). The PAG share is based on revenues collected on behalf of PAG by DOR during FY14 from direct TPT (42-6106 – this is the 0.50% TPT in Pima County). The denominator is the combination of these four revenue totals. Using this method, Cities are responsible for 52.58% of the total $20,755,835 transfer, or $10,912,910. Counties are responsible for 32.52% of the total, or $6,749,322. MAG is responsible for 12.44% of the total, or $2,582,400. PAG is responsible for 2.46% of the total, or $511,203. These fees for DOR services provided to Local Governments are considered an ongoing annual budget item. I have also calculated the one-time fee that will be charged to the self-collecting cities for DOR’s tax system improvements, and the total anticipated billing from the Department for the 2016 Fiscal Year. The amount indicated will be billed by DOR not later than July 31, 2015 and is due not later than September 30, 2015. If the billing calculations performed by the Department provide a different result, the Department’s billing is controlling. Remember that if any amount is not paid to DOR by September 30, the Treasurer will be instructed to deduct the balance due from the next regularly scheduled payment of State Shared TPT. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Lee Grafstrom Tax Policy Analyst League of Arizona Cities and Towns 1820 W.

We obtained the total dollar ﬁ gures on which these early estimates are based from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the Arizona Department of Revenue (DOR). Subject to changes in these estimates and the governor’s budget, there may be a ﬁ nal report sent out in early May. Population Figures for Shared Revenue Estimates As directed by statute, the population used in distribution of state shared revenue for July 1, 2015 is the ﬁ gure from the 2010 Census except for the Urban Revenue Sharing (State Shared Income Tax). Changes can only be made to these numbers in the case of an annexation that has been certiﬁ ed by the Census Bureau. For distribution of Urban Revenue Sharing, those cities and towns with populations fewer than 1,500 are automatically assumed to have 1,500 in population. The total population ﬁ gures are as follows: 2010 Designated Population (TPT/HURF/VLT) – pop. for cities/towns ......................5,024,437 2010 Designated Population (URS) – pop. for cities/towns ........................................5,030,191 Shared Revenue Estimates The tables found within this report list the distribution of revenue from the vehicle license tax (VLT), highway user revenue fund (HURF) and the state sales and income taxes. Vehicle License Tax (VLT) –Vehicle License Tax monies are approximately 9.4% higher compared with last year’s estimates. Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) (UPDATE) – The HURF estimate provided by the Arizona Department of Transportation is 4.5% higher than last year’s estimate. (The highway user revenue estimate does not include the 3 percent monies reserved for cities with populations over 300,000.) State Sales Tax - The estimate for state shared sales tax is approximately 5.7% higher than the estimated amount contained in this report from last year. This fund may be subject to revision later in the year - we will send out revised estimates if we get any additional information. State Income Tax - The estimate for state income tax is actually .5% percent lower than last year’s estimate. (This is the only one of the shared revenues that can be accurately forecast since it is based on collections from two years ago.) The total estimated state shared revenues for cities and towns in the upcoming ﬁ scal year, based on current state law, from each of the sources are as follows: Vehicle License Tax . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $210,300,000 Highway User Revenue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $341,221,100 State Sales Tax . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $480,000,000 State Income Tax . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $605,634,332 If there are any signiﬁ cant changes to any of these numbers, we will get revised estimates to you as soon as possible.
