FEE CALCULATION
2.1 The Company shall pay to the Ministry an annual Fee for the use of each Site that is
subject to a Site Permit. The Fee for a Site will be based on the following three
factors: (1) geographic location, (2) the equipment that comprises the Wireless
Communications Facility at the Site; and, (3) if the Wireless Communications
Facility is attached, mounted or installed in or upon a Ministry Structure.
2.2 The Province shall be divided into the following zones for the purposes of a Fee
calculation:
a) Zone 1 is comprised of all Highways under the jurisdiction of the Ministry within
the boundaries of the Capital Regional District (CRD), Greater Vancouver Regional
District (GVRD), and the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD).
b) Zone 2 is comprised of all Highways under the jurisdiction of the Ministry within
the boundaries of municipalities within the Province of British Columbia which have
a population of 50,000 or more as identified in the 1996 Canadian Census.
c) Zone 3 is comprised of all Highways under the jurisdiction of the Ministry which
are not included in Zone 1 and 2.

2.3 For the purposes of a Fee calculation the annual Fee paid by the Company will be
determined by the total number of antennas installed at the Site.
2.4 For the purposes of a Fee calculation the annual Fee paid by the Company will be
determined on the basis of whether or not the Company’s Equipment is attached,
mounted or installed in, or on a Ministry Structure.
2.5 The Company’s Fee shall be automatically increased if the number of antennas is
increased at the Site to a higher category, such modifications to be carried out in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2.6 The Company may charge a fee for the use of structure space and/or building
space used by a Sublicensee at a Wireless Communications Facility, where the
Company has obtained a Site Permit from the Ministry. Where the Company has
sublicenced the Site, the Company will pay to the Ministry, in addition to the
Company’s own Site Permit fee, an amount equivalent to twenty-five (25) percent of
the Site Permit fee that would have been paid by the Sublicensee for their own site.
The additional fee to be paid by the Company for each Sublicensee will be based
on the number of antennas located at the Site by the Sublicensee, and form part of
the total Site Permit fee payable by the Company.
2.7 Where the Company elects to install, maintain and operate its facilities on a
structure which belongs to a non-Wireless Communications Company, and where
the non-Wireless Communications Company has a Permit to locate on and use
Right-of-Way Lands, the Wireless Communications Company will pay the Ministry
twenty-five (25) per cent of the annual Site Permit Fee that would be normally paid
to the Ministry. The Site Permit Fee paid by the Wireless Communications
Company to the Ministry will be based on the total number of antennas that the
Company has located at the non-Wireless Site.
2.8 Based on the Fee Calculation criteria, the Company’s annual Site Permit fee
for 2004/05 will be the amount shown in the Site Fee Table.

Commencing April 1, 2005, the Site Permit fee will be adjusted on an annual
basis, with the adjusted amount based on the annual average British
2
Columbia All Items Consumer Price Index for the term of the Agreement. The
Site Permit fee for 2005-06 will be calculated as follows. The Site Permit fee
for 2004-05 will represent the base year and the annual average All Items
Consumer Price Index for the calendar year 2004 will be used to adjust the
Site Permit fee for 2005-06. Adjustments of the Site Permit fee in subsequent
years will be based on the preceding year’s Site Permit fee and the preceding
year’s annual average British Columbia All Items Consumer Price Index. The
adjusted Site Permit fee shall not be less than the previous year of the Term.
2.9 A discounted rate shall be applied to the Company’s Site Permit fee for sites
located in Zones 2 and 3. The discounted rate shall be applied as follows:
A discounted rate of ten (10) percent of the total value of the Site Permit
fees for those Sites located in Zones 2 and 3 where the company has six (6)
to ten (10) Sites located in Zones 2 and 3.
 A discounted rate of fifteen (15) percent of the total value of the Site Permit
fees for those Sites located in Zones 2 and 3 where the company has more
than ten (10) Sites located in Zones 2 and 3.
