Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On April 17, 2006, SBA Senior Finance II LLC (“SBASF II”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SBA Communications Corporation, entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements, each with a notional amount of $100 million, with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. and Deutsche Bank AG to hedge the variability of future interest rates in anticipation of the issuance of debt which is expected to be issued on or before February 28, 2007 by an affiliate of SBA Communications Corporation. Under the swap agreements, SBASF II has agreed to pay fixed interest rates of 5.400% and 5.399%, respectively, on the total notional amount of $200 million, beginning on or before February 28, 2007 through February 28, 2012, in exchange for receiving floating payments based on three-month LIBOR on the same $200 million notional amount for the same five-year period. The swap agreements will be cash settled, in accordance with their terms, on or before February 28, 2007.
