1.6 Effects of Merger. The Merger shall have the effects specified in the FBCA and this Agreement.

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of SBA, SBA REIT or the shareholders of such corporations, the following shall occur:

(a) The outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of SBA (“SBA Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the same number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”).

(b) All shares of SBA Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist. At the Effective Time, each certificate (“Certificate”) formerly representing shares of SBA Common Stock shall thereafter only represent the right to receive the consideration payable in respect of such shares under Section 2.1(a).

(c) Each share of SBA Common Stock held in SBA’s treasury at the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(d) Each share of SBA REIT Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of SBA REIT or the holder of such shares, cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

2.2 Dividends Declared Prior to the Effective Time. SBA’s obligations with respect to any dividends or other distributions to the shareholders of SBA that have been declared by SBA but not paid prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the terms thereof.

2.3 SBA Stock Plans. At the Effective Time, the rights and obligations of SBA under the SBA Communications Corporation 2001 Equity Participation Plan as amended and restated, the SBA Communications

Corporation 2010 Performance and Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and the SBA Communications Corporation 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (including all amendments or modifications, collectively, the “Plans”) and related and other agreements will be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the terms thereof, and all rights of the parties thereto and the participants therein to acquire shares of SBA Common Stock on the terms and conditions of the Plans and such agreements will be converted into rights to acquire shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock, in each case, to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with, the terms of such Plans and related other agreements. The number of shares available for grant under each Plan is set forth in Schedule 2.3.

(a) As of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Computershare, the transfer agent and registrar for the shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock and the exchange agent for purposes of the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock, in an amount sufficient to effect the exchange of all Certificates for shares of SBA Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a). In addition, the Surviving Corporation shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of holders of Certificates as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4(c).

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificate to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Surviving Corporation may reasonably specify, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates evidencing shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled, and the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) a certificate evidencing the number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II and (B) the payment of any dividends and other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.4(c). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger consideration or on unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a surrender of a Certificate representing shares of SBA Common Stock in exchange for a certificate evidencing shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock in the name of a person other than the person in whose name such shares of SBA Common Stock are registered, a certificate evidencing the proper number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock may be issued to such a transferee if the Certificate evidencing such securities is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required by the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable transfer taxes have been paid.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared by the Surviving Corporation in respect of Surviving Corporation Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, shall be paid by the Exchange Agent to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until such Certificate is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall release to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of such surrender, the previously reserved amount equal to the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock that had been held by the Exchange Agent for the benefit of such holder, and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(d) At and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of SBA of shares of SBA Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for certificates representing shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II.

(e) Any former shareholders of SBA who have not complied with this Article II within one year after the Effective Time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for release of (A) their previously reserved shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of SBA Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement and (B) any dividends or other distributions paid on such shares for the benefit of such shareholders, without any interest thereon.

(f) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(g) None of SBA, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares or securities of SBA for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

5.1 Further Assurances. Each of SBA and SBA REIT shall use its best efforts to take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the Merger under the FBCA.
