This Agreement for work associated with frequency rebanding
("Agreement"), is entered into between Valley Communications Center ("VCC")

RECITALS
A. On August 6, 2004, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC")
issued a report and order that modified its rules governing the 800 MHz
band. The purpose of the order was to reconfigure the 800 MHz band to
minimize harmful interference to public safety radio communications
systems in the band ("Reconfiguration").
B. On December 22, 2004, the FCC issued a Supplemental Order and Order
on Reconsideration. The August 6, 2004 and December 22, 2004 FCC
orders, any binding actions issued by the Transition Administrator
pursuant to its delegated authority under the orders ("Actions"), and any
supplemental FCC orders in the Reconfiguration proceeding or subsequent
Actions after the date of this Agreement, are collectively referred to as
the "Order."
C. Pursuant to the Order, VCC and Nextel West Corp. ("Nextel") are licensed
to use frequency allocations subject to Reconfiguration, and VCC must
relinquish the frequencies identified into the Frequency Reconfiguration
Agreement ("FRA") and relocate its system to replacement frequencies.
D. Pursuant to the Order, Nextel and VCC entered into a Frequency
Reconfiguration Agreement dated September 20, 2012.
E. Under the FRA, Nextel will pay VCC an amount to effect a Reconfiguration
of VCC's affected frequency allocations ("Reconfiguration Costs"). VCC
must certify to the Transition Administrator appointed pursuant to the
Order that the Reconfiguration Cost is the minimum amount necessary to
provide comparable facilities. VCC is responsible for the accounting of all
old and replacement equipment.
F. To complete the Reconfiguration, VCC must complete a number of
required tasks ("Tasks"), some of which require the cooperation of
agencies that receive service from VCC.
G. VCC agrees to reimburse the agencies for conducting specific tasks
required to complete the Reconfiguration.
