both requirements

negotiate, it would not be a binding obligation

must be same additions to this letter. There can be advantages to an agree-
ment; we have the right to tell them where to place the tower, we want to
own the tower, we can state we want the right to maintain the tower, we can
pick the engineer, if there is any interference we can tell them to take their
antennas down and we keep the tower. We can dictate anything we want to dictate.

intent and if this occurs, we will negotitate before an agreement is signed.
