If not separately metered, Tenant shall pay its allocable portion based upon the ratio between the Premises Gross Leasable Area and the total gross leasable square feet of space served by the common utility. However, if Landlord determines that Tenant is using a disproportionate amount of any utility service not separately metered, then Landlord may either install a separate meter to measure the utility service, at Tenant's cost, or charge Tenant a sum equal to Landlord's reasonable estimate of the cost of Tenant's excess use of such utility service. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on a monthly basis for landlord's cost in furnishing utilities and services to the Premises within ten (10) days after Tenant receives an invoice from Landlord and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any such failure or interruption unless caused by the misconduct of Landlord. No failure or interruption of any such utilities or services shall entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or to withhold rent or other sums due hereunder and unless otherwise specifically provided herein.

Landlord hereby authorizes Verizon, Worldcom, and Telephonet to provide telecommunication services to the Building. Tenant shall use its best efforts to get such vendors to execute license and access agreements reasonably acceptable to Landlord provided that such agreements do not materially alter the telecommunication service to Tenant or increase the costs to Tenant of such telecommunication services. Landlord’s approval shall not be deemed any kind of warranty or representation by Landlord, including, without limitation, any warranty or representation as to the suitability, competence, or financial strength of the provider. Without limitation of the foregoing standard, unless all of the following conditions are satisfied to Landlord’s satisfaction, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to refuse to give its approval: (i) Landlord shall incur no expense whatsoever with respect to any aspect of the provider’s provision of its services, including, without limitation, the costs of installation, materials and services; (ii) the provider shall agree to use the Building’s central communications distribution system (“CDS”) to deliver telecommunications services to Tenant (unless the CDS is not physically capable of delivering such services); (iii) prior to commencement of any work in or about the Building by the provider, the provider shall supply Landlord with such written indemnities, insurance, financial statements, and such other items as Landlord reasonably determines to be necessary to protect its financial interests and the interests of the Building relating to the proposed activities of the provider; (iv) the provider agrees in writing to abide by such rules and regulations, Building and other codes, job site rules and such other requirements as are reasonably determined by Landlord to be necessary to protect the interests of the Building, the tenants in the Building, and Landlord, in the same or similar manner as Landlord has the right to protect itself and the Building with respect to proposed alterations as described in this Lease; (v) Landlord reasonably determines that there is sufficient space in the Building for the placement of all of the provider’s equipment and materials; (vi) Landlord receives from the provider such compensation as is reasonably determined by Landlord to compensate it for the fair market value of a provider’s occupancy of the Building, and the costs which may reasonably be expected to be incurred by Landlord in conjunction with the provider’s occupancy of and activities within the Building; and (vii) all of the foregoing matters are documented in a written agreement between Landlord and the provider, the form and content of which is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Except as otherwise authorized in writing by Landlord, all communications services provided to Tenant shall be delivered via the Building’s CDS. Landlord may charge Tenant’s service providers fees for use of the CDS (“CDS Fees”), which includes monthly recurring fees (“Recurring CDS Fees”) for use of each circuit of the CDS used in the delivery of communications services to Tenant, and non-recurring fees (“Non-Recurring CDS Fees”) relating to activities such as moves, adds and changes of circuits which Landlord or Landlord’s agents are making. In the event that a service provider refuses for any reason to pay the CDS Fees directly to Landlord, or if Tenant is directly using the CDS to connect to a provider or otherwise, Tenant shall be responsible to pay Landlord Non-Recurring CDS Fees, but in no event shall Tenant be responsible to pay to Landlord Recurring CDS Fees, Landlord shall repair or replace the CDS as necessary to eliminate any interruption or other adverse effects to Tenant caused by malfunction, damage or destruction of the CDS, the cost of which shall be borne by Tenant if the problem was caused directly or indirectly by the act or omission of Tenant, its agents, representatives, employees or invitees. In no event shall Landlord or its agents be liable for any direct or indirect claims or damages of any kind arising out of any interruption or failure of communications or related services (including without limitation, local or long distance phone service, internet, cable TV, CDS, and data services) received by Tenant, it being understood that Tenant shall look solely to its communications services providers for recovery of any such claims or damages. To the extent that Landlord or its agents provides any communications services directly to Tenant, Tenant’s sole remedy in the event that such services provided by Landlord or its agents are interrupted or otherwise fail shall be an equitable abatement of the fees paid by Tenant to Landlord or its agents for such services, pro-rated from the date of the interruption or failure of service until the date upon which service is restored.

The Service Provider shall act under this Services Agreement solely as an independent contractor and not as an agent or employee of any other party or any of such party’s Affiliates. For the purposes of clarity, the parties acknowledge and agree that if and to the extent the Service Provider changes systems and processes used in the course of its business for its own account the Service Provider shall not permit such changes to degrade the Applicable Service Level.

At some point during the Legal Transition Period, Albertson’s will have the option to make Qualifying Offers (as defined in the SPA) to some or all of an additional group of identified members of the SVU Legal function. During the Legal Transition Period, the parties will cooperate with respect to the transition of legal matters between them, and each of Albertson’s (but only with respect to the services provided by the Transitioned Attorneys and only to the extent historically provided to SVU) and SVU will provide legal services pursuant to Schedule 2 hereto, if needed, provided that (i) SVU may, in its discretion and at its expense, provide outside counsel (reasonably selected from a list of outside counsel used by Albertson’s prior to the Effective Date) in lieu of providing such legal services directly (it being understood that such outside counsel providing Services to Albertson’s hereunder will be acting on behalf of and as counsel for Albertson’s, and that (as between Albertson’s and SVU) Albertson’s will control the attorney-client relationship); (ii) neither party will in any case provide services with respect to commercial or other litigation that the other party has agreed to assume responsibility for, or to indemnify the other party or its Affiliates for, pursuant to the SPA (provided, however, that SVU will continue to cooperate in providing in-house litigation support (other than litigation management) to the extent historically provided by SVU to Albertson’s and Albertson’s acknowledges that during the Legal Transition Period in-house litigation support will continue to be provided to SVU by the remaining SVU legal function not hired by Albertson’s as of the Effective Date); (iii) SVU will not be responsible for providing legal services to Albertson’s in quantities that exceed the historical levels provided by SVU to Albertson’s; and (iv) each party will provide any reasonable and customary waiver of conflicts of interest or similar waiver reasonably requested by the other party or any substituted outside counsel in connection with the legal services provided pursuant to this Services Agreement, provided that no such waiver shall materially disadvantage the other party with respect to any matter handled by such counsel. Upon the elimination of legal services as Services under this Services Agreement, there will be a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the fees payable during the Initial Term equal to the salary and benefits of each employee that transfers employment to Albertson’s pursuant to a Qualifying Offer (as defined in the SPA) made in Albertson’s sole discretion, and, if necessary, the parties will execute a letter agreement confirming the reduction as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.
(e) Similar to the legal transition referenced in Section 2.1(d), the parties have agreed to the elimination of additional Services originally contemplated to be provided by SVU pursuant to this Services Agreement by the employees of SVU and its Subsidiaries identified on Exhibit G. Upon the elimination of such Services from this Services Agreement, Albertson’s will receive credits against the fees payable pursuant to this Services Agreement as such credits are set forth on Exhibit G, and, if necessary, the parties will execute a letter agreement confirming the reduction as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
(f) The parties agree to meet on or before September 20, 2013, to review the Services being provided and determine if there are any Services no longer required and which may be deleted from the Service schedules.
