The remaining 532 sites stay under the original lease with extended terms through 2033–2042 and modified escalation caps (12.5% maximum). Rent adjustment dates and extension options were restructured across site schedules. Insurance and confidentiality provisions were amended to align with a mortgage loan agreement.
