SE 3 Avenue for the installation of a radio antenna, and
WHERAS, OUA had an antenna on the previous tower, prior to the hurricanes of 2004,
that was destroyed in those hurricanes, and said antenna installation will now improve
their communication capability immensely, and

installation with the following contingencies, agreed by both parties by virtue of their
signatures hereon:
1. All costs associated with the installation, operation and maintenance of the
second antenna will be born by OUA.
2. Any radio interference issues associated with the addition of the second
antenna will immediately cause the use of that antenna to be terminated until
such time as that interference can be corrected.
3. In the event that the above radio interference issue cannot be corrected to the
City's satisfaction, then OUA will, at its cost, remove the antenna and
associated equipment.
4. In the event that the City ever requires exclusive use of the radio tower, which
will require OUA to remove their antenna and equipment, OUA will do so, at
their cost, within 30 days of a formal, written request rendered by the City.

as a result of damage thereto, either in the installation thereof or the future use
of same.
