This LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Lease”) is made and entered into as of November , 2013 by and between DC-402 Franklin Road, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Lessor (“Lessor”), and AT&T Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Lessee (“Lessee”).

RECITALS

Lessor desires to lease to Lessee and Lessee desires to lease from Lessor the Property, (as more specifically defined in the Definitions set forth in Appendix A as the “Property”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease; and

In connection therewith, Lessor desires to grant and delegate to Lessee, and Lessee desires to accept and assume from Lessor, all of the rights, duties and obligations associated with the ownership, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Property, as further described in this Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows.

TERMS

ARTICLE 1.

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A attached hereto and made a part hereof.

ARTICLE 2.

LEASE OF PROPERTY

Section 2.1. Demise and Lease. (a) Lessor hereby demises and leases the Property to Lessee, and Lessee does hereby rent and lease the Property from Lessor, for the Base Term. The Building at the Property consists of approximately Three Hundred Forty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Fifteen (347,515) rentable square feet, situated on approximately forty five (45) acres.

(b) Lessee may from time to time own or hold under lease or license from Persons other than Lessor, Lessee’s Equipment and Personalty, located on or about the Property, which shall not be subject to this Lease. Lessor shall from time to time, upon the reasonable request of Lessee, promptly acknowledge in writing to Lessee or other Persons that Lessor does not own or, except as provided in Article 10, have any other right or interest in or to such furniture, equipment and personal property, including Lessee’s Equipment and Personalty, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and Lessor hereby waives any such right, title or interest.

(c) Lessee agrees that during the Base Term, Lessee as sublandlord of the BNYM Lease, shall assume and timely undertake all obligations of landlord under the BNYM Lease and shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from any and all such obligations. Lessee further

covenants that it shall not extend or grant additional renewal options or term extensions beyond those already stated in the BNYM Lease, without the prior written consent of Lessor, which may be given or withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion.

Section 2.2 Net Lease; Non-Terminable. (a) This is a net lease and Base Rent, Supplemental Rent and all other sums payable hereunder by Lessee shall be paid, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, without notice, demand, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution, deduction, reduction or defense.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, this Lease shall not terminate, and Lessee shall not have any right to terminate this Lease, during the Term. This Lease is the absolute and unconditional obligation of Lessee. Lessee shall not be entitled to any setoff right, any Lien against Lessor or its property, or except as otherwise provided herein, any counterclaim, recoupment, abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution, deduction, reduction or defense of or to Base Rent, Supplemental Rent or any other sums payable under this Lease. Lessee hereby waives all rights which are not expressly stated in this Lease but which may now or hereafter otherwise be conferred by law (i) to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease or any of the Property, (ii) to any setoff, counterclaim (except to the extent a mandatory counterclaim for damages, injunctive or other similar equitable relief as set forth below), recoupment, abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution, deduction, reduction or defense (provided that Lessee shall not be deemed to have waived any defense in the context of litigation commenced by Lessor) of or to Base Rent, Supplemental Rent or any other sums payable under this Lease, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, and (iii) for any statutory Lien or offset right against Lessor or its property. This waiver by Lessee of any such rights shall not be a waiver of its right to seek damages, injunctive or other equitable relief by commencing litigation against Lessor and to recover such damages as provided under Applicable Law. The obligations of Lessee to pay Base Rent and Supplemental Rent under this Lease shall not be affected by any interference with Lessee’s use of any of the Property for any reason, including but not limited to the following: (i) any damage to or destruction of any of the Property by any cause whatsoever, (ii) any Condemnation, (iii) the prohibition, limitation or restriction of use of the Property except to the extent the use is not a Permitted Use of any of the Property unless intentionally and directly caused by Lessor, other than by its due exercise of its rights under this Lease, (iv) any eviction by paramount title or otherwise (not constituting an intentional and direct breach by Lessor of this Lease), (v) any default on the part of Lessor under this Lease or under any other agreement, (vi) any latent or other defect in, or any theft or loss of any of, the Property, (vii) the breach of any warranty of any seller or manufacturer of any of the fixtures within the Building, or (viii) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any Applicable Law to the contrary notwithstanding, other than on account of an intentional and direct breach by Lessor of this Lease. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the obligations of Lessee under this Lease shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, and that Base Rent and Supplemental Rent shall continue to be payable in all events and that the obligations of Lessee under this Lease shall continue unaffected, unless this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to an express provision of this Lease.

(c) Lessee agrees that it shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its provisions and that Lessee shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease,

notwithstanding (i) the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding affecting Lessor, (ii) the exercise of any remedy, including foreclosure, under any mortgage affecting the Property, or (iii) any action with respect to this Lease (including the disaffirmance hereof) which may be taken by Lessor under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or by any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Lessor or by any court under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

ARTICLE 3.

RENT

Section 3.1. Base Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor Base Rent on each Rent Payment Date during the Base Term in the amount set forth on Schedule 3.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein. Each installment of Base Rent is payable monthly in advance.

Section 3.2. Supplemental Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor, or to such other Person as shall be entitled thereto in the manner contemplated herein or as otherwise required by Lessor, any and all Supplemental Rent as the same shall become due and payable. In the event of Lessee’s failure to pay when due and payable any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein.

Section 3.3. Method of Payment. All Base Rent shall be paid to Lessor, or to such other account in the continental United States as Lessor may from time to time designate (on at least twenty (20) Business Days’ prior written notice) to Lessee. Lessee shall make each payment of Base Rent by wire or other transfer of immediately available funds consisting of lawful currency of the United States of America.

Section 3.4. Late Payment. If, during any Lease Year, Lessee shall make any payment of Base Rent more than ten (10) days after such payment is due under Section 3.3, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing that such payment is late and, and Lessee shall pay interest on such late payments from the due date of such payments to the date of receipt of such payments by Lessor at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, provided that if Lessor shall fail to notify Lessee of any such late payment within three (3) months after the due date thereof, Lessee shall not be obligated to pay interest on such late payment.

Section 3.5. No Setoff. It is agreed and intended that, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Base Rent, Supplemental Rent and any other amounts payable hereunder by Lessee shall be paid without notice, demand or setoff.

Section 3.6. True Lease. It is the intent of Lessor and Lessee and the parties agree that this Lease is an absolute true net net net lease (commonly referred to as a “bond” lease) and that this Lease does not represent a financing agreement, capital lease or other financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this Lease are those of a true lease. Each party shall reflect the transaction represented hereby in all applicable books, records and reports (including income tax filings and financial reports) in a manner consistent with “true lease” treatment rather than “financing” treatment.

ARTICLE 4.

RIGHT OF FIRST OPPORTUNITY

Section 4.1. Right of First Opportunity. (a) Subject to the terms of this Article 4, Lessee shall have a right of first offer as described in this Article 4 with respect to any sale of the Property or a portion thereof. If Lessor or any controlling members, shareholders or partners of Lessor or its Affiliates (the “Offeror”), determines that it desires to sell the Property or portion thereof (other than to an Affiliate of such Offeror), then it shall first offer the same to Lessee by delivering to Lessee a notice (constituting an offer) stating the sales price and all other material terms for the sale of the Property or other interest that Offeror would accept (the “First Offer Notice”). Lessee shall have twenty (20) days from its receipt of the First Offer Notice to accept the offer set forth in the First Offer Notice (the “Terms”). For purposes hereof, the twenty (20) day period is referred to as the “Applicable Period”. A First Offer Notice may be accepted by Lessee or its designee. The Offeror shall not be permitted to revoke the First Offer Notice during the Applicable Period, but the First Offer Notice shall be deemed to be revoked during the Applicable Period if Offeror and Lessee or Lessee’s designee enter into a purchase agreement with a purchase price or other economic terms which are materially different than the Terms. The Terms may be rejected by Lessee at any time.

(b) If Lessee desires to accept the Terms for the Property, Lessee must accept the Terms within the Applicable Period, whereupon the Lessee shall enter into a purchase agreement with the Offeror for the purchase and sale of the Property or portion thereof, as applicable, in a mutually agreeable form reflecting the Terms within fifteen (15) days after Lessee has irrevocably accepted the Terms. The purchase agreement for the sale of the Property or portion thereof, as applicable, shall provide for a closing on the terms set forth in the Terms. Lessor (on behalf of the Offeror) and Lessee agree to negotiate any purchase agreement in good faith, subject to Section 4.3.

(c) If Lessee (or its designee) rejects the Terms, the Offeror shall either (i) execute a purchase agreement on the Terms and close (absent a default by the buyer) or (ii) if the Terms were contained in an executed agreement with a buyer, close on the Terms therein (absent a default by the buyer) except that the purchase prices may be no less than ninety percent (90%) of the purchaser price offered to Lessee, in each case within one hundred eighty (180) days from (y) the expiration of the Applicable Period or (z) the date Lessee rejects the Terms, whichever is earlier. This Lease shall survive any sale or transfer described herein. If the closing does not occur within such period, the Offeror shall be required to repeat the procedure set forth in Section 4.1(a) each time that it desires to sell the Property or offered interests.

Section 4.2. Non-Applicability of Section 4.1. (a) Section 4.1 shall not apply to a conveyance or assignment to an Affiliate of Lessor, to Lender or an Affiliate of or successor to Lender, to the purchaser at a foreclosure sale in connection with the foreclosure, or to Lender or any Affiliate or designee in connection with a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage. Lessee’s rights hereunder shall survive any sale or transfer described above.

(b) Any purchase of the Property under this Article 4 will be subject to this Lease and the Mortgage, unless the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage is repaid in full. If Lessee or its Affiliate is the purchaser of the Property there shall be no merger of the fee and the leasehold.

Section 4.3. Miscellaneous. (a) Lessee’s failure to elect to purchase the Property shall not constitute a waiver on the part of Lessee of its rights under this Article 4 with respect to any other proposed sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition.

(b) The First Offer Notice and the Terms must cover only the Property and not any other property owned by Lessor or an affiliate of Lessor.

(c) The First Offer Notice and the Terms must cover the entire Property. Lessor may not sell, or offer to sell, or transfer, or offer to transfer, any interest, the result of which would be a sale or transfer of less than the entirety of the Property. Lessee’s failure to exercise its right of first offer in this situation shall not constitute a waiver on the part of Lessee of its rights under this Article 4 with respect to any other proposed sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition. This right of first offer shall also be triggered and the rights of Lessee hereunder vested in the event the Property is included in a sale or transfer of an interest in real estate of which the Property is a part.

(d) The controlling member, shareholder or partner of Lessor may not transfer or assign its interest in Lessor so that it is no longer a controlling member, controlling shareholder or controlling partner of Lessor (other than in connection with a corporate transaction involving the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the controlling member, shareholder or partner of Lessor at a time when such assets include significant assets other than such party’s interest in Lessor) unless it first complies with the provisions of Section 4.1 and (i) neither the transferee nor any Affiliate thereof is a Significant Competitor, directly or indirectly, of Lessee or any Affiliate thereof, and (ii) such transfer or assignment shall not result in a violation of Applicable Laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any other applicable securities law or ERISA or accounting requirements for treatment of this Lease by Lessee as an operating lease.

ARTICLE 5.

RENEWAL OPTIONS

Provided that Lessee is not in default under the Lease and Lessee has not assigned the Lease, Lessee may at its option extend the Term of this Lease for three (3) additional periods of ten (10) years each (each a “Renewal Option”). Such periods are called the Renewal Term(s). The Renewal Term(s) shall be on the same terms contained in this Lease except for Base Rent during the Renewal Term; and any reference in this Lease to the “Term” of the Lease shall be deemed to include any Renewal Term and apply thereto, unless it is expressly provided otherwise. The Base Rent during the Renewal Term shall be the one hundred two percent (102%) of the Base Rent for the last year of the Term and increase by two percent (2%) each year thereafter. The Renewal Option may be exercised only with respect to the entire Property. The Renewal Option shall be exercisable by written notice (the “Renewal Notice”) to Lessor given not earlier than twenty-four (24) months, nor later than twelve (12) months (time being of the essence), prior to the expiration date of the Term or Renewal Term (as applicable).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall also have the right (the “Extension Right”) to extend the Base Term for a period of up to one (1) year (the “Extension Period”), subject to the following terms and conditions. The Extension Right shall be exercised by Lessee delivering written notice to Lessor at least twenty (20) months prior to the expiration of the Base Term. The Extension Period shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease and each monthly installment of Base Rent shall equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the monthly installment of Base Rent in effect during the last month of the Term prior to the Extension Period.

ARTICLE 6.

ENFORCEMENT OF WARRANTIES

Section 6.1. Assignment of Warranties. (a) Lessor hereby assigns and sets over to Lessee, and Lessee hereby accepts the assignment of, for the period of the Lease Term and on a nonexclusive basis, all of Lessor’s right, title, interest and estate in, to and under any and all warranties and other claims against dealers, manufacturers, vendors, contractors and subcontractors relating to the construction, use and maintenance of the Property or any portion thereof now existing or hereafter acquired (excluding from such assignment any such warranties and claims which by their terms are not assignable by Lessor without loss of some or all of the benefits of such warranties or claims) (collectively “Warranty Claims”). Lessor shall have no obligations under, or liabilities with respect to, any such warranties and claims. Lessee shall at its sole cost pursue all Warranty Claims in order to effect any repair or replacement of which Lessee is aware and which is covered by such Warranty Claims. The assignment of such warranties to Lessee shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this Lease.

(b) Lessor authorizes Lessee (directly or through agents) at Lessee’s expense to assert during the Lease Term, all of Lessor’s rights (if any) under any applicable warranty and any other Warranty Claims that Lessee or Lessor may have against any dealer, vendor, manufacturer, contractor or subcontractor with respect to the Property or any portion thereof.

(c) Lessor agrees, at Lessee’s expense, to cooperate with Lessee and take all other action necessary as specifically requested by Lessee to enable Lessee to enforce all of Lessee’s rights (if any) under this Section 6.1, such rights of enforcement to be exclusive to Lessee, and Lessor will not, during the Lease Term, amend, modify or waive, or take any action under, any applicable warranty or other claim that Lessee may have under this Section 6.1 without Lessee’s prior written consent.

ARTICLE 7.

LIENS

Section 7.1. Liens. Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on or with respect to (a) all or any part of the Property, title thereto or any interest therein; (b) this Lease or the

leasehold interest created hereby; (c) the Rent, title thereto or interest therein; or (d) the rentals payable with respect to the subletting of the Property. Except with respect to, and to the extent of, such Liens the imposition of which resulted from the actions or inactions of Lessor, Lessee shall promptly, but not later than forty (40) days after receipt of notice of the filing thereof, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge or eliminate or bond in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessor any such Lien (other than Permitted Liens); provided, however, that Lessee may contest any such Lien in good faith, upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 8.6(c) (excluding clause (vii) thereof) with respect to Lessee’s right to contest Impositions. During the course of any such contest, Lessee need not discharge or bond such Lien provided that no action to foreclose the Lien has been brought in any judicial or quasi-judicial action and no Lease Event of Default is then continuing and Lessor shall not incur any penalties or fines nor may the Property be subject to any liens or forfeiture as a result of such contest.

ARTICLE 8.

USE; MAINTENANCE AND CAPITAL REPAIR; ALTERATIONS; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; IMPOSITIONS AND OTHER CHARGES; LITIGATION

Section 8.1. Use. The Property may be used for any lawful purpose other than (a) any use that would constitute a public nuisance, (b) any use that would make it impossible to obtain or would invalidate any insurance policy with respect to the Property that is required to be maintained hereunder, (c) any use that would involve the mining for or removal of any oil, gas or minerals on the Property or (d) any use that involves the storage, handling or processing of Hazardous Materials in violation of Applicable Law; (“Permitted Use”). Lessee is not required to occupy the Property or conduct any business therein and neither failure to occupy or operate on or from the Property by Lessee shall be a default or breach of this Lease.

Section 8.2. Maintenance and Repair. (a) Except for damages caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, Lessee shall, at all times during the Lease and at its own cost and expense, maintain, repair and make replacements to the Property (which shall include, by way of illustration and not limitation, Lessor’s equipment, the heating, plumbing, and electrical systems, windows (including but not limited to window seals) and other structural components of the Improvements and the roof of the Improvements, parking areas and driveways (including sealing and striping at times and frequencies as is customary for similar buildings in the same metropolitan area), walkways, landscaping, painting and carpeting within the Improvements, as well as performing necessary snow and ice removal and garbage collection) so that the Property and all portions thereof are maintained in at least as good order, condition and repair as evidenced by that certain Property Condition Report, dated October 3, 2013 (the “Report”) prepared by IVI Assessment Services, Inc., being Project No. PC30905913, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E, reflecting the current condition of the Property; together with maintaining in good order and repair all of the “Repair Items” set forth in Section 8.2(b) below, as further detailed in the Report, from and after the date such Repair Items are completed at the Property; but in all cases less ordinary wear and tear, functional obsolescence due to age and casualty. The condition of the Property per the Report, plus the Repair items and less wear and tear, functional obsolescence due to age and casualty being referred to hereafter as the

“Standard”. The parties acknowledge that Lessee’s repair and maintenance obligations under this Section 8.2(a) shall be measured against the Standard. Subject to Lessee’s obligations under Section 8.2(b) hereafter, Lessee shall only be obligated to repair, replace and maintain the Property in at least as good condition as measured against the Standard. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2 and the Standard, Lessee shall make and perform all day-to-day maintenance and repairs at the Property and pursue Warranty Claims at Lessee’s sole cost and expense so that the Property, including the Repair Items, is maintained consistent with the Standard. Subject to the Standard, Lessee shall make all such repairs to the Property, including the Repair Items, and shall keep the Property, including the Repair Items, clean, neat, safe, sanitary, and in good order, repair and condition, including both the inside and the outside.

(b) Lessee Capital Repairs. Subject to the Standard, Lessee shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for any capital repair or replacement which may be required during the Lease Term, so that the Property and all portions thereof (including the Repair Items) are maintained consistent with the Standard. Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, shall to the extent required to meet the Standard, make the repairs and/or improvements to the Property as set forth and listed on Exhibit G, (collectively “Repair Items” and individually a “Repair Item”), at such time, or from time to time, during the Base Term or any Renewal Term, if applicable, as Lessee determines, as provided hereafter in this subparagraph (b). With regard to Lessee’s obligations as to the Repair Items set forth on Exhibit G, Lessee shall comply with the provisions of Section 8.4 of this Lease. On the Effective Date, Lessee shall deposit in escrow with GrayRobinson, P.A., 000 X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 (“Escrow Agent”) the amount of One Million Seven Hundred Forty Eight Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,748,500.00) (the “Escrow Deposit’) to be held by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement for Tenant Repairs in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H and disbursed to Lessee for payment by Lessee of repairs and replacements, as applicable, of any Repair Items set forth on Exhibit G that Lessee may choose to make, as follows. After approval by Lessor of Lessee’s proposed repair or replacement of an Exhibit G Repair Item, pursuant to the approval process and conditions in Section 8.4 hereafter, Lessee shall obtain estimates for cost of the work and submit the estimates, along with a draw request for the selected accepted bid, not to exceed the maximum dollar amount for such Repair Item expense as set forth on Exhibit G (the “Item Cost Cap”). Lessor shall approve such draw request and submit the same to Escrow Agent. Upon receiving the funds from Escrow Agent, Lessee shall then promptly commence and complete the repair or replacement of the applicable Repair Item and submit final lien waivers and invoices for same to Lessor (“Final Invoices”). If the Final Invoices are greater than the Item Cost Cap, then all costs incurred by Lessee for the repair or replacement of a Repair Item in excess of the Item Cost Cap for that specific Repair Item shall be the sole responsibility of, and shall be paid promptly by, Lessee. If the Final Invoice for the repair or replacement of a Repair Item is less than the Item Cost Cap allocated to such item as shown on Exhibit G, then Lessee may draw (to the extent not then drawn), use and apply the “under budget” difference between the Final Invoices for an Exhibit G Repair Item and the Item Cost Cap, to supplement any cost overage on another Exhibit G Repair Item, where the cost to repair or replace was above the Item Cost Cap. If, at the end of the Base Term, Lessee has not performed or completed all of the Repair Item work listed on Exhibit G, then, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Lessor’s sole and limited remedy, in lieu of any and all other remedies against Lessee for Lessee’s failure to repair or replace the Exhibit G Repair Items during the term of the Lease, shall be that Lessor upon expiration of the term of the lease, shall

retain all remaining dollars then held by Escrow Agent in the Escrow Deposit, as liquidated and stipulated damages, with all other claims or damages arising from Lessee’s failure to repair or replace the Exhibit G Repair Items during the term of the Lease, being waived and released by Lessor. Lessor shall not be required to make withdrawals from the Escrow Deposit more frequently than monthly, to accommodate Lessee’s draw requests. All interest, if any, earned on the Escrow Deposit, shall be retained by Lessor.

In addition to the foregoing, Lessee covenants that it shall maintain all generators on the Property in accordance with a preventative maintenance program during the term of the Lease, which includes Lessee’s obligation during the lease term to repair, or if required, to replace, as provided per the preventative maintenance program being followed by Lessee.

(c) No Lessor Obligation. LESSOR SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO MAKE ANY REPAIR, WHETHER FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN, CAPITAL OR NOT, OR TO MAINTAIN ANY OF THE PROPERTY IN ANY WAY, AND LESSEE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO MAKE REPAIRS OR MAINTENANCE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE LESSOR, WHICH RIGHT MAY BE PROVIDED FOR IN ANY APPLICABLE LAW NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT; PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT LESSOR SHALL REPAIR AND MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY AND IMPROVEMENTS WHERE SUCH REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED DUE TO LESSOR’S, OR IT’S SERVANT’S, EMPLOYEE’S, AGENT’S, CONTRACTOR’S OR INVITEE’S NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

(d) Nonapplicability. The provisions of this Section 8.2 shall not apply in the case of Casualty to or Condemnation of the Property, in which case the obligations of the parties shall be as provided in Article 12.

Section 8.3. Property Assessment Reports. Lessor shall have the right, not more frequently than once every two (2) years, to engage a qualified third party professional to prepare property assessment reports of the roof, structure and HVAC only (and no other items) at the Property (individually a “Property Assessment Report” and collectively the “Property Assessment Reports”) to confirm the same are being maintained to the Standard. Lessor shall pay the qualified third party professional directly for all costs of obtaining any Property Assessment Reports after the date of this Lease. It is understood and agreed to between the parties that IVI Assessment Services Inc. and its successors, affiliates and subsidiaries are qualified third party professionals. In the event that the Property Assessment Report discloses that maintenance or repairs are required in order to keep the roof, structure and HVAC as required by the Standard, then, subject to the following sentence, Tenant shall diligently and continuously complete such repairs or maintenance as soon as possible. If Tenant disputes that any such repairs or maintenance are necessary or consistent with its obligations in maintaining the roof, structure and HVAC to the Standard, then Tenant shall repair and maintain those items it does not dispute and the balance shall be resolved as set forth under Article 27 hereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee acknowledges its obligation at the end of the Lease Term for the Property’s condition and repair to comply with the Standard.

Section 8.4. Alterations. (a) At any time and from time to time, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, may make (1) without Lessor’s consent, non-structural

Alterations to the Property, less than the Threshold Amount; (2) and after giving prior written notice to Lessor and obtaining Lessor’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), structural Alterations and/or non-structural Alterations in excess of the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that no Alteration (whether consent is necessary or not) shall (i) materially negatively impair the utility, remaining useful life or fair market value of the Property, in each case assuming that the Improvements are then being operated and maintained in accordance with this Article 8; (ii) create a violation of this Lease; (iii) increase in any respect the risk of liability to Lessor under any Environmental Laws; (iv) materially and permanently reduce the rentable square footage (as calculated in accordance with the methods of measuring rentable area as described in the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z65.1-1996, as promulgated by the Building Owners and Managers Association International) of the Improvements; (v) materially reduce the electrical power available to the Building; (vi) permanently weaken (upon completion of construction or repair of the structure) the structure of the Improvements or any part thereof; or (vii) reduce the permitted uses of the Improvements under applicable zoning or land use laws so as to reduce the fair market value of the Property. Notwithstanding the requirements for notice and consent set forth above, Lessee may, in good faith, make any repairs (structural or non-structural) required by virtue of an emergency without satisfying any otherwise applicable notice and/or consent requirement, provided Lessee notifies Lessor of such repair (to the extent otherwise required) as promptly as is reasonably practical after the emergency.

(b) Every Alteration shall comply with the following terms (which compliance shall be at Lessee’s sole cost and expense): (i) except (unless required by Applicable Law) for non-structural Alterations costing less than the Threshold Amount for each scope of work, as reasonably determined by Lessee, the Alteration shall be made (x) in accordance with plans and specifications (copies of which shall be delivered to Lessor) prepared by a certified architect or civil engineer who shall be licensed in the appropriate jurisdiction to the extent required for the filing of any plans in connection with such Alteration (which architect may be an employee of Lessee or its Affiliates) and (y) under the supervision of such architect or engineer or other reasonably capable person; (ii) the structural integrity of the existing Improvements shall not be impaired upon completion of such work; (iii) Lessee shall obtain any licenses, approvals or permits required (including final approvals), copies of which shall be delivered to Lessor; and (iv) such Alterations shall not encroach upon any adjacent premises. Lessor agrees to cooperate with Lessee (at no cost to Lessor) in signing permit applications and similar documents to the extent required for any Alteration. Lessee may execute such applications or similar documents on behalf and (if necessary) in the name of Lessor for all Alterations for which Lessor’s consent is not required and for Alterations for which Lessor’s consent is required and has been granted if Lessor has not executed such documents within ten (10) days of Lessee’s request therefor. Nothing herein shall be deemed to impose any liability or responsibility on Lessor for performance or payment of any Alteration. In connection with any Alteration, Lessee shall perform and complete all work promptly and in a good, workmanlike manner in compliance with Applicable Laws (subject to Lessee’s right to contest the applicability thereof) and the plans and specifications submitted to Lessor, if applicable. Except in the event of self-insurance under Section 9.2 hereafter, Lessee shall maintain or cause to be maintained at all times during construction property insurance and commercial general liability insurance naming Lessor, as owner/lessor and Lender as mortgagee and loss payees as their interests may appear under such property insurance and including as additional insureds under such liability insurance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Lessee shall require all third party general contractors and subcontractors performing services for Lessee with regard to the Alterations to have and maintain at all times during construction, construction property insurance and commercial general liability insurance naming Lessee, Lessor, as owner/lessor and Lender as mortgagee and loss payees as their interests may appear under such property insurance and including as additional insureds under such liability insurance. Lessee shall provide “as-built” plans to Lessor for any structural Alteration for which Lessee has “as-built” plans prepared. If Lessee does not have “as-built” plans prepared for any Alteration, Lessee shall provide to Lessor with copies of such plans, if any, submitted to the City in connection with Lessee’s application for any necessary permits.

(c) With respect to such structural Alterations for which Lessee must obtain the prior written consent of Lessor pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Lessor shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after Lessee’s delivery of its request for consent, together with preliminary drawings and specifications for such Alterations, within which time Lessor may grant or not grant Lessee’s request for consent. If Lessor shall not have responded to Lessee within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, such consent shall be deemed to have been granted. Whether or not the Alteration is approved, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of review incurred by Lessor up to a maximum of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), shall be paid by Lessee within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice therefor.

(d) Lessee shall not, without Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld or denied in Lessor’s sole discretion (i) demolish all or substantially all of the Improvements or Building on the Property, or (ii) make any Alterations, at any time, which would (after the completion thereof) impair the structural integrity of the Building.

(e) Title to Alterations shall without further act vest in Lessor and shall be deemed to constitute a part of the Property and be subject to this Lease if (i) such Alteration is in replacement of or in substitution for a portion of the Improvements as of the date hereof, (ii) such Alteration is required to be made pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 or (iii) such Alteration is Non-Severable. Lessor shall notify Lessee in its consent to any Alteration, requiring prior Lessor consent, as to whether such Alteration must be removed upon termination of this Lease. In the event Lessor is deemed to have consented to any Alteration, Lessee shall not be required to remove such Alteration.

(f) Without limiting Lessee’s rights pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.4, at Lessee’s sole cost and without liability to Lessor, Lessor agrees to cooperate with Lessee (including signing applications upon Lessee’s written request) in obtaining any necessary permits, variances and consents for any Alterations which Lessee is permitted to make hereunder; provided none of the foregoing shall, in any manner, result in a net reduction of access to or ingress to or egress from the Property, a change in zoning, or otherwise have an adverse effect on the ability to use the Property for the Permitted Use or have an adverse effect on Lessor’s or any Mortgage or other loan document executed in connection therewith (or Lessor’s or Lender’s ability to place such Mortgage Lien) on the Property.

(g) If an Alteration is not within any of the categories set forth in Section 8.4(e), then title to such Alteration shall vest in Lessee and such Alteration shall be removed by Lessee to the

extent required under Article 10 hereof. All Alterations to which title shall vest in Lessee as aforesaid, and all Lessee’s Equipment and Personalty, so long as removal thereof shall not result in the violation of any Applicable Law or this Lease, may be removed at any time by Lessee, provided that Lessee shall, at its expense, repair any damage to the Property caused by the removal of any such Alteration.

Section 8.5. Compliance with Law; Environmental Compliance.

(a) Lessee, at Lessee’s expense, shall comply in all Material respects at all times with all Applicable Laws, including Environmental Laws regarding the Property.

(b) Lessee shall notify Lessor promptly if Lessee (i) has Actual Knowledge of the presence or Release of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under, emanating from or migrating to the Property which could reasonably be expected to violate in any Environmental Law or give rise to any liability under any Environmental Law, provided that Lessee shall not have any obligation to investigate the Property for any such presence or Release of Hazardous Materials and none of Lessee’s employees shall be deemed to have knowledge of the Environmental Laws applicable to the Property or what would constitute a violation thereof, or (ii) receives any written notice, claim, demand, material request for information or other material communication from a Governmental Authority regarding the presence or Release of any Hazardous Material at, on, under, within, emanating from or migrating to the Property or related to the Property which could reasonably be expected to violate in any material respect any Environmental Law or give rise to any liability.

Section 8.6. Payment of Impositions. (a) Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all Impositions due and payable during the Lease Term or payable as provided in Section 8.7, before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest (except as provided in Section 8.6(b)) or cost may be assessed or added for nonpayment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing authorities where feasible.

(b) If any such Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (regardless whether interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same in installments, and in such event Lessee shall pay only those installments that become due and payable during the Lease Term or, as provided in Section 8.7, relate to the Lease Term, as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be assessed or added thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right to contest any Imposition, subject to the following: (i) such contest shall be at Lessee’s sole cost and expense; (ii) such contest shall be by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence; (iii) such contest will operate to suspend the collection of, or other realization upon, such Imposition, from any Property or other interest of Lessor, or from any Rent (and will not otherwise adversely affect Lessee’s obligation to pay, and Lessor’s right to receive, Rent); (iv) such contest will not otherwise adversely affect Lender’s lien on any Property or Lessor’s right to any Property (for purposes hereof, “adversely affect” being deemed to mean that such lien or Lessor’s right would be subject to reasonable likelihood of extinguishment, impairment or

loss of priority); (v) such contest will not materially and adversely interfere with the possession, use or occupancy or sale of the Property; (vi) such contest will not subject Lessor to any civil (other than for the amounts being contested and related interest, penalties, costs and expenses) or criminal liability; (vii) Lessee shall not postpone the payment of any Imposition for such length of time as shall permit the Property to become subject to a lien created by such item being contested that is prior to the lien of the Mortgage (other than a lien for real property taxes which are already a first lien); and (viii) no Lease Event of Default shall then be existing. Lessee shall pay any Imposition (and related costs) promptly after forgoing any contest or after receipt of a final non-appealable adverse judgment.

Section 8.7. Adjustment of Impositions. Impositions with respect to the Property for a billing period during which Lessee’s obligation to indemnify Lessor pursuant to this Lease expires or terminates as to the Property shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after such expiration or termination of this Lease, and Lessee’s and Lessor’s obligation to pay its pro rata share thereof shall survive such expiration or termination (to the extent, with respect to Lessor, it is obligated to reimburse Lessee for Impositions paid by Lessee for periods after expiration of the Lease Term). Lessee acknowledges that at closing under the Purchase Contract, no credit was given to Lessor for accrued real estate taxes, in consideration for Lessee’s agreement to pay accrued real estate taxes through the termination of the Lease. Thus, in the year in which the Lease Term terminates, and promptly after the final real estate tax xxxx for that tax year is received by Lessor, Lessor will calculate Lessee’s obligation for real estate taxes through the termination date and submit an invoice and a copy of the tax xxxx to Lessee. Lessee will be obligated to pay to Lessor the amount so determined. Lessor acknowledges that Lessee may bring any tax certiorari or other actions for refunds of Impositions or adjustments of Impositions for which Lessee is liable under this Lease or relating to periods prior to the commencement date of the Lease Term and Lessee shall be entitled to all such refunds, provided that Lessee shall take no such action which could increase any Imposition for a period after the expiration of this Lease. During the Lease Term, Lessor agrees to cooperate with Lessee in such proceedings, at no cost to Lessor.

Section 8.8. Utility Charges. Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid, directly to the party entitled thereto, all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water, telephone, sanitary sewer services and all other utilities used in or on the Property prior to and during the Lease Term, and such obligation on the part of Lessee shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease until all such outstanding balances for services rendered prior to or during the Lease Term have been paid. Any refunds, credits or rebates of such charges attributable to the Lease Term or the period prior to the commencement of the Lease Term shall be the property of Lessee, and Lessor shall pay the same to Lessee promptly upon its receipt thereof. Lessee shall have the right to select all service providers for the Property. Lessor shall not be entitled to charge any fees associated with Lessee’s acquisition and/or use of utilities. If Lessee defaults in the payment of any such charges, Lessor may, at its option, pay such charges on behalf of Lessee, in which event Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor therefor and all such sums together with interest at the Default Rate shall be deemed Supplemental Rent hereunder. All applications and connections for necessary utility services on the Property shall be made in the name of Lessee only, unless otherwise required by the utility service provider. Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable to Lessee in damages or otherwise for failure or interruption in

service of electricity, water, gas, heat, telecommunication services, including telephone, sewer service or air-conditioning caused by any reason whatsoever, including the making of any repairs or improvements to the Property.

Section 8.9. Litigation; Zoning; Joint Assessment. Lessee shall give written notice within ten (10) Business Days to Lessor of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against Lessee or the Property of which Lessee has Actual Knowledge, which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the condition of the Property. Lessee shall not initiate any zoning reclassification for the Property, or any portion thereof, or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinances or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other Applicable Law. Lessee shall not initiate any proceeding to cause the Property to be jointly assessed with any other property or with any personal property of Lessee, or take any other action or initiate any proceeding which might cause the personal property of the Lessee to be taxed in a manner whereby such taxes or levies could be assessed against the Property.

ARTICLE 9.

INSURANCE

Section 9.1. Coverage. (a) Lessee shall maintain insurance of the types and in the amounts set forth on Schedule 9.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, including without limitation a policy or policies of (i) commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Property, with Lessor, Lessor’s asset and/or property manager, Lessor’s managing agent for the building, any ground lessors and Lender (whose names shall have been furnished to Lessee) named as additional insured parties on such policy or policies to the extent of any indemnity provided by Lessee under this Lease, and (ii) property insurance with respect to the Property, with Lessor and Lender named as loss payees as their interests may appear, all in forms and amounts as set forth in Schedule 9.1.

(b) Nothing in this Article 9 shall prohibit Lessee from maintaining, at its expense, commercial general liability and or property insurance on or with respect to the Property naming Lessee as insured and/or loss payee in amounts greater than the insurance required to be maintained under this Section 9.1 or any other insurance with respect to the Property (including business interruption insurance),naming Lessee as insured and/or loss payee thereunder, unless such insurance would conflict with or otherwise limit the availability of or coverage afforded by insurance required to be maintained under this Section 9.1. Nothing in this Section 9.1 shall prohibit Lessor from maintaining, at its expense, other insurance on or with respect to the Property or the operation, use and occupancy of the Property, unless such insurance would conflict with, cause Lessor to be a coinsurer or otherwise limit or adversely affect Lessee’s ability to obtain, or the cost of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee under Section 9.1(a).

(c) Copies of any certificates of insurance required to be delivered under Schedule 9.1 shall be delivered to Lessor at the time set forth in Section 9.1.

(d) In the event of Lessee’s failure to obtain or maintain the insurance called for under this Lease after any applicable notice and grace period, Lessor shall have the right, together with Lessor’s other remedies set forth herein, to obtain the policies of insurance required under this Lease and to xxxx Lessee for the reasonable premium payments therefor, such bills to be paid by Lessee to Lessor within five (5) days after delivery to Lessee of bills therefor, together with interest at the Default Rate. This subsection shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of Lessor’s rights and remedies, under any other provision of this Lease.

(e) Each insurance policy required to be carried by Lessee under this Lease shall also provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or omission of Lessor or Lessee which might, absent such provision, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment.

(f) Lessee shall comply with all insurance requirements applicable under any insurance policies required to be maintained under this Lease.

(g) To the extent that any insurance policy maintained by Lessee pursuant to this Lease has a deductible as between Lessee and the insurance company and Lessor is entitled to insurance proceeds with respect to a claim thereunder, then as between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall be responsible to cover such deductible or pay such claim.

(h) Lessor (i) shall promptly and no later than 30 days after notice thereof provide Lessee with written notice of any claim, demand, lawsuit, or the like for which it seeks coverage pursuant to this Article 9 or Schedule 9.1 and provide Lessee with copies of any demands, notices, summons, or legal papers received in connection with such claim, demand, lawsuit, or the like; and (ii) shall fully cooperate with Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, in the defense of the claim, demand, lawsuit, or the like.

Section 9.2 Self Insure. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9.1, during such periods as either the Lessee or Guarantor shall maintain a GAAP tangible net worth of at least $500,000,000.00 and both Lessee and Guarantor are either direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of AT&T Inc., Lessee shall have the right to self-insure by assuming in whole or in part, without insurance, any and all risks otherwise required by this Lease to be insured against by Lessee. If Lessee does not maintain, in whole or in part, insurance of the types and in the amounts set forth on Schedule 9.1, then it shall be deemed to have elected to self-insure, provided, however, Lessee’s self-insurance obligation for Lessor shall not extend to claims for punitive damages, exemplary damages, or gross negligence (collectively “Special Damages”) unless and only to the extent that the third party insurance coverages per Section 9.1 in affect at the time of the casualty would have responded to and paid the insured for such Special Damages claims. Lessee’s self-insurance obligation shall also not apply when the claim or liability arises solely from the negligence, fault, misconduct, actions or inactions of Lessor, its employees, contractors, or agents. Subject to the foregoing, in the event of a casualty to which casualty insurance coverage required to be carried under Section 9.1 would have responded, but for Lessee’s election to self-insure under this Section 9.2, then upon adjustment of the loss Lessee shall make payment to Lessor (and its Lender if then required under Lessor’s loan with such Lender) in an amount equal to the loss that would have been paid under such insurance coverages (assuming no deductible) had Lessee then had such required Section 9.1 insurance coverages in place at the time of the casualty. The parties acknowledge that it is their intention to

have Lessee’s self-insured obligation to Lessor and the payments received by Lessor under such self-insurance, be identical to and the same as would be paid to Lessor if Lessee had then had in place third party insurance coverages as set forth in Section 9.1 and Schedule 9.1.

ARTICLE 10.

RETURN OF PROPERTY TO LESSOR

Section 10.1. Return of Property to Lessor. (a) Lessee shall, upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, at its own expense, return the Property to Lessor by surrendering the same into the possession of Lessor (i) free and clear of all Liens caused by Lessee (whether by payment or bonding), other than (A) Lessor Liens, (B) any Lien created by the Mortgage and related debt documents, (C) Liens for taxes not yet due and payable subject to Lessee’s obligations under Sections 8.6(b) and 8.7, (D) Liens and Impositions being contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1 or 8.6(c), as the case may be, and (E) other Permitted Liens (other than this Lease and any assignment of this Lease), and (ii) in compliance with the terms of this Lease. Lessee hereby waives notice to vacate the Property and agrees that Lessor shall be entitled to the benefit of all provisions of the law respecting the summary recovery of possession of the Property from Lessee holding over to the same extent as if statutory notice had been given.

(b) All Alterations and Lessee’s Equipment and Personalty not removed by Lessee by the last day of the Lease Term (but in the event of a termination other than upon the expiration of the Base Term, within thirty (30) days after said termination of this Lease), other than those Alterations as to which title shall vest in Lessor pursuant to Section 8.4, shall be deemed abandoned and Lessor may dispose of such property in any manner that Lessor, in its sole discretion, determines is appropriate. Lessor hereby notifies Lessee that Lessor will not store any such property of Lessee and such property shall become the property of Lessor. In no event shall Lessee be required to remove or pay for the removal of any built in, permanent fixtures or improvements existing on, or within, the Property as of the date of this Lease, any raised computer floors built during the Lease Term, any other Alterations made in compliance with the terms of this Lease or any cabling or wiring (or similar property) now or hereafter located on or in the Property.

(c) Upon the return of the Property to Lessor, Lessee shall also deliver (i) all transferable licenses and permits pertaining to the Property by general assignment, without warranty or recourse; (ii) as built-drawings, including plans for HVAC, mechanical and electrical systems, to the extent in Lessee’s possession and not previously delivered to Lessor; (iii) available keys to the Property; (iv) a general assignment of all subleases existing on the date hereof or entered into in accordance with the terms of this Lease; and (v) to the extent assignable, a general assignment, without warranty or recourse, of all maintenance contracts (to the extent required by Lessor) and existing warranties applicable to the Property.

(d) Lessee agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lessor and its representatives to effectuate a smooth transition of the operation and maintenance of the Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary and provided that Lessee surrenders the Property upon the expiration or termination of this Lease in compliance with all Applicable Laws and the terms of

this Lease, the failure to remove any of Lessee’s Alterations or Lessee’s Equipment and Personalty in accordance with the provisions hereof shall not result in Lessee being deemed a holdover tenant hereunder.

ARTICLE 11.

ASSIGNMENT BY LESSEE

Section 11.1. Assignment by Lessee. (a)Lessee may, at Lessee’s sole expense and without the consent of Lessor, assign this Lease for a period that does not extend beyond the Lease Term to any Person. Any assignee shall assume the obligations of Lessee arising from and after the effective date of the assignment.

(b) Notwithstanding any assignment provided for in Section 11.1(a), Lessee and Guarantor shall not be released from its primary liability hereunder and shall continue to be obligated for all obligations of “Lessee” in this Lease, which obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal as though no assignment had been made.

Section 11.2. Use by Other Persons. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11 which may be construed to the contrary, Lessor acknowledges that the Property may be occupied by one or more customers, service providers, vendors, contractors, and Related Persons (as defined in Section 14.1) and their employees and contractors and that such use of the Property shall not be considered an assignment or sublease unless Lessee elects to treat it as such.

Section 11.3. Notice to Lessor. Lessee shall endeavor to give prior written notice to Lessor of every assignment or subletting to any Person who is not an Affiliate of Lessee.

Section 11.4. Prohibited Assignments/Subleases. In no event shall this Lease be assignable by operation of any law, and Lessee’s rights hereunder may not become, and shall not be listed by Lessee as an asset under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings. Acceptance of any payment of Base Rent or Supplemental Rent by Lessor after any non-permitted assignment or sublease shall not constitute approval thereof by Lessor.

Section 11.5. Lessor’s Right to Collect Sublease Rents upon Lease Event of Default. If the Property (or any portion) is sublet and a Lease Event of Default occurs, then Lessor is authorized, at its option, to collect all sublease rents directly from the sublessee. Lessee hereby assigns the right to collect the sublease rents to Lessor in the event of Lessee default. The collection of sublease rents by Lessor shall not relieve Lessee of its obligations under this Lease, nor shall it create a contractual relationship between sublessee and Lessor or give sublessee any greater estate or right to the Property than contained in its sublease.

Section 11.6. Sale of Property. In the event of the transfer and assignment by Lessor of its interest in this Lease and the Property, Lessor shall thereby be released from any obligations arising prior to or accruing hereunder as of and after the date of such transfer, and Lessee agrees to attorn to the successor in interest of Lessor following any such transfer of such interest either voluntarily or by operation of law, to recognize such

successor as Lessor under this Lease, and look solely to such successor in interest of Lessor for the performance of such obligations. Lessor shall remain liable for any obligations of Lessor hereunder arising from or accruing prior to the date of the transfer of the Premises by Lessor. Any security given by Lessee to secure the performance of Lessee’s obligations hereunder may be assigned and transferred by Lessor to its successor in interest, and Lessor shall thereby be discharged of any further obligations relating thereto.

ARTICLE 12.

LOSS; DESTRUCTION; CONDEMNATION OR DAMAGE

Section 12.1. Destruction of the Building. (a) Subject to the terms of this Article 12, if the Building is totally or partially damaged or destroyed by Casualty, Lessee shall restore the Building to the same or better condition as existed immediately prior to such Casualty. Lessee shall have no obligation to repair and restore Lessee’s Equipment and Personalty, trade fixtures, decorations, signs, contents, or any non-standard improvements to the Premises. If (i) the Casualty results in damage to the Building which will take in excess of (A) two hundred seventy (270) days from the beginning of restoration to restore (as reasonably determined by an independent registered architect engaged by Lessor who will certify to Lessor and Lessee as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the Casualty the amount of time needed to restore) the Building to the same condition as existed immediately prior to such Casualty, using standard working methods, and such Casualty occurs at any time during the then current Lease Term, or (B) three (3) months from the beginning of restoration to restore (as reasonably determined by such architect in the same manner as in clause (A) above) the Building to the same condition as existed immediately prior to such Casualty and such Casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the then current Lease Term; (ii) the repair, restoration or reconstruction is prohibited by any zoning ordinance, building code or other Applicable Law, which in Lessor’s commercially reasonable determination, makes the rebuilding of the Building not economically viable, then Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease upon giving notice of such election in writing to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the Casualty, which notice shall specify a proposed termination date not earlier than the later of (x) one hundred twenty (120) days after the Casualty and (y) sixty (60) days after the date of the notice.

(b) Lessee shall commence the repair, restoration or rebuilding thereof within ninety (90) days after such Casualty (subject to delays in the adjustment of insurance and receipt of necessary permits from Governmental Authorities) and shall substantially complete such restoration, repair or rebuilding of the Property or the Building, as the case may be, to the same or better condition as existed immediately prior to the Casualty as promptly as practicable after the commencement thereof. In such event, this Lease will remain in full force and effect, and Lessee shall be bound by the terms hereof, including the obligation to pay Rent, subject to the provisions of Article 13.

(c) If Lessor elects to terminate this Lease (whether in part or in whole) by notice as provided above, such termination shall be effective on the proposed termination date specified in the notice provided to Lessee, provided that Lessee shall have the right, upon written notice to Lessor to elect an earlier termination date, not earlier than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice. In such event, Lessee shall be obligated to pay to Lessor the Rent accrued to the effective date of such termination, which obligation shall survive such termination, for the portion of the Property as to which this Lease was terminated.

Section 12.2. Lessee’s Right to Terminate. (a) If (i) the architect determines in accordance with Section 12.1 above that the Casualty resulted in damage to all or a substantial part of the Building which will take in excess of (x) eighteen (18) months from the beginning of restoration to restore the Building to the same condition as existed immediately prior to the Casualty and the Casualty occurs at any time during the Lease Term or (y) three (3) months from the beginning of restoration to restore the Building to the same condition as existed immediately prior to the Casualty and the Casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the then current Lease Term, but Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease, or (ii) as a result of a Casualty to the Building, Lessee must either (A) cease its operations at such Building for a period of fifteen (15) months or more, (B) move a Substantial Portion of its operations from the Building or relocate a Substantial Percentage of its employees from the Building to another location not on the Property for a period of fifteen (15) months or more or (C) lay off a Substantial Percentage of its employees working at the Building for a period of fifteen (15) months or more (any of the foregoing Casualties described in clause (i) or (ii), a “Substantial Casualty”), then Lessee may elect to terminate this Lease upon giving notice of such election in writing to Lessor within sixty (60) days after Lessee is notified in writing of the architect’s determination as to the time required to restore the Building or Lessee determines that a Substantial Casualty under clause (ii) above has occurred, which notice shall specify a termination date not earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the notice.

(b) If Lessee elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 12.2(a), then Lessee shall pay to Lessor the excess, if any, of the discounted Present Value of the Rent that would otherwise become due for the Property for the period of time commencing on the date of termination of this Lease and ending on the last day of the Lease Term over the discounted Present Value of the Fair Market Rent that Lessor can reasonably be expected to collect after restoration of the Property through the end of the Lease Term (assuming reasonable periods of time to prepare plans, secure permits and rebuild the Property substantially to its condition prior to the Casualty and to market and re-lease the Property to another tenant or tenants, all as determined pursuant to Section 12.2(c)). Lessee’s obligation to rebuild is separate from, and not affected by, Lessee’s and Lessor’s rights hereunder to terminate the Lease.

If the Lease is terminated by either Lessee or Lessor as the result of a Casualty, then Lessor shall have the option, by giving written notice to Lessee, to rebuild and restore the Property in lieu of Lessee repairing the damage and restoring the Property. In that event, Lessor shall receive from Lessee either the insurance proceeds (plus any deductible), or, if Lessee is then self- insuring, the amount that would have been received in insurance proceeds (including any deductible) paid in response to the adjusted loss to restore the Property from damage due to the casualty.

Lessor acknowledges that if it elects not to have the Property restored after a casualty and the Lease is terminated, then payment to it from either insurance proceeds or Lessee under self-insurance shall be only such amount as represents the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the Casualty, and not an amount equal to the full replacement cost to restore the Property.

(c) If Lessor and Lessee cannot agree on the discounted Present Value of the Fair Market Rent that Lessor could reasonably be expected to collect after restoration of the Property (or portion thereof), such discounted Present Value of the Fair Market Rent will be determined by appraisal in accordance with the Appraisal Procedure. The period of time required to rebuild the Building will be determined by two independent registered architects, one selected by Lessor and one selected by Lessee, assuming the reasonably prompt and efficient engagement of and work by architects, contractors and others necessary to rebuild the Building. The period of time that it would take to re-lease the Building after the reconstruction and/or repair thereof will be determined by two independent commercial real estate brokers, one selected by Lessor and one selected by Lessee, and each familiar with properties similar to the Property and with the commercial lease market in the area. The determinations of such architects and brokers shall be binding on the parties. If such architects or brokers cannot agree on the period of time to rebuild or re-lease the Building within twenty (20) Business Days after the their appointment, then a third architect or broker, as the case may be, shall be selected by the two other architects or brokers, as applicable or, failing agreement as to such third architect or broker within thirty (30) Business Days after the appointment of the others, by the American Arbitration Association office in the City (or if none, then the closest city that does have an office). The determinations of the relevant periods of time of the three architects or brokers, as the case may be, shall be made within twenty (20) Business Days of the appointment of the third such Person; such three time periods shall be averaged and such average time period shall be the time period required to rebuild or re-lease the Building, provided that if any one of the three determinations diverges from such average by ten percent (10%) or more, that determination shall be discarded and the average of the remaining two determinations shall be the applicable time period binding on the parties. The fees and expenses of the architect and broker appointed by a party shall be paid by such party; the fees and expenses of a third architect or broker shall be divided equally between the two parties. Lessee shall be released from any and all obligations hereunder arising from and after such termination, other than the obligation to pay such discounted present value of the Rent.

Section 12.3. Condemnation. (a) In the event of a Total Taking of the Property, the Lease Term shall terminate upon the earlier of delivery of possession of the Property to the condemning authority or the effective date of the taking and Lessee shall be obligated to pay to Lessor the sum of (i) any unpaid Base Rent accruing to the date of termination, plus (ii) after determination of the amount of the Award attributable to the discounted Present Value of the Fair Market Rent as provided in paragraph (d) below, the amount, if any, required to be paid by Lessee under paragraph (e) below.

(b) If a Minor Condemnation occurs, Lessor shall repair and restore the Property, to the extent practicable and as provided in this Section 12.3, to the condition as existed immediately prior to the Minor Condemnation and shall use the Award to pay the costs thereof. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Minor Condemnation, the obligation of Lessee to pay scheduled Rent to Lessor shall continue subject to Section 13.1, and Lessee shall be entitled to any rent interruption insurance proceeds payable in connection therewith and the amount of the Award payable to Lessee pursuant to paragraph (c) below.

(c) Any award, compensation or damages (the “Award”) for a Minor Condemnation or a Total Taking shall be paid to and be the sole property of Lessor whether the Award shall be made as compensation for diminution of the value of the leasehold estate or the fee of the

Property or otherwise, and Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to any and all of the Award; provided that, to the extent the Award would not diminished, Lessee shall have the right to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Lessor) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Lessee for moving, if a separate award for such items is made to Lessee; and provided further that Lessee shall have an independent right to make a claim for any Condemnation of Lessee’s Equipment and Personalty. Any portion of the Award that is not required to be expended by Lessor for repairing or restoration shall be retained by Lessor as Lessor’s sole property.

(d) The amount of any Award payable to Lessor on account of a Total Taking (not including any separate award payable to Lessee for moving or for condemnation of Lessee’s Equipment and Personalty) that is attributable to the Fair Market Rent that would be payable for the remainder of the then current Lease Term shall be ascertained through the Appraisal Procedure and such amount shall be discounted to the Present Value thereof.

(e) If the discounted Present Value of the Rent that would have become due from the date of termination of this Lease to the end of the then current Lease Term exceeds the amount of the award attributable to the discounted Present Value of the Fair Market Rent as determined under paragraph (d) above, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, within ten (10) Business Days after the determination thereof, the amount of such excess. If the amount of the Award attributable to the discounted Present Value of the Fair Market Rent as determined under paragraph (d) above exceeds the discounted Present Value of the Rent that would have become due hereunder, Lessee shall not make any additional payment to Lessor and Lessor shall not have any obligation to remit any portion of the Award to Lessee.

ARTICLE 13.

REDUCTION OF RENT

Section 13.1. Reduction of Rent. If after any repair, restoration or rebuilding required to be undertaken by Lessor as a result of a Casualty or Minor Condemnation there is a permanent reduction in the rentable square feet of the Building located on the Property available to or occupied by Lessee, then the Base Rent shall be proportionately reduced from the date of determination of such permanent reduction through the end of the Lease Term. The proportionate reduction shall be computed on, as applicable, (i) the basis that the rentable square feet of the Building from time to time available to Lessee after the Casualty or Minor Condemnation bears to the aggregate rentable square feet of the Building prior to the Casualty or Minor Condemnation. Any reduction in Rent shall become effective as of the determination of such permanent reduction. To the extent Lessee shall have paid any Base Rent for any period after such determination of permanent reduction in an amount which did not take into account the applicable reduction in Base Rent pursuant to this Section 13.1, Lessor shall remit the excess payment to Lessee within thirty (30) Business Days.

ARTICLE 14.

SUBLEASE

Section 14.1. Subleasing Permitted; Lessee Remains Obligated. Lessee may at any time and from time to time, directly or indirectly through one or

more Affiliates or Persons, (“Related Persons”), sublease the Property or any portion or portions thereof to any Person or permit the occupancy of the Property or any portion or portions thereof by any Person. No such sublease, sub-sublease, license, occupancy agreement or similar agreement (each, a “Sublease”) shall release Lessee and Guarantor from its primary liability for the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder, and Lessee and Guarantor shall continue to be obligated for all obligations of “Lessee” in this Lease, which obligations shall continue in full effect as though no Sublease had been made.

Section 14.2 Service Providers. Lessor acknowledges that Lessee in the course and custom of its business has provided space and will continue to provide space in its offices and elsewhere at the Property on a regular basis to Lessee’s customers, subcontractors, vendors and other service providers who provide services integral to Lessee’s business and operations. Such furnishing of space shall not constitute an assignment or sublease for purposes of this Lease, regardless of the terms or conditions upon which Lessee provides the same.

ARTICLE 15.

INSPECTION

Section 15.1. Inspection. Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lessee, Lessor and its representatives and agents (each, an “Inspecting Party”), may from time to time (but not more frequently than one time per calendar quarter), during normal business hours and in a commercially reasonable manner and at their own risk, to inspect the Property, to verify compliance with the provisions of this Lease. No Sublease shall contain any restrictions on inspection other than as set forth herein. The Inspecting Party shall repair any damage caused by any inspection performed pursuant to this Section 15.1. Lessee shall have the right to have its representatives, including security guards, present at any such inspection. In addition, Lessee may designate one or more reasonably sized “secure areas” to which no Inspecting Party shall have access and the Inspecting Party shall comply with Lessee’s other reasonable security requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall have the right to inspect such “secure areas” if required by Lessor’s board of directors or auditors, subject to a representative of Lessee being present at all times with the Inspecting Party. No video or other photography of any such area shall be permitted. Each Inspecting Party agrees to hold in confidence all proprietary information and trade secrets of which it becomes aware during such inspection. All such inspections shall be at Lessor’s expense. In no event shall such inspections materially disrupt Lessee’s ongoing business operations within the Building or on the Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, no prior notice to Lessee is required for Lessor’s inspection resulting from an emergency. For the period of six (6) months prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease, Lessor may show the Property to prospective tenants upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lessee. In addition, at any time during the term of this Lease, Lessor shall have a right show the Property to prospective purchasers of the Property, subject to the Lease, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lessee and subject to such parties being accompanied at all times by a Lessee representative.

ARTICLE 17.

ENFORCEMENT

Section 17.1. Lessor Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, Lessor may, at its option, by notice to Lessee do one or more of the following as Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine:

(a) Lessor may terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice of Lessor’s election to do so and the effective date thereof, in which event Lessor may forthwith repossess the Property and recover, in addition to any other sums or damages for which Lessee may be liable to Lessor, as liquidated damages a sum of money equal to the excess of the discounted Present Value of the Rent to be paid by Lessee for the balance of the Lease Term (after Lessor elects to exercise the remedy provided for in this paragraph (a)) over the discounted Present Value of the Fair Market Rent for the Property, after deduction from such Fair Market Rent of all anticipated reasonable expenses of reletting, for such period. Should the discounted Present Value of the Fair Market Rent for the Property, after deduction of all anticipated expenses of reletting, including without limitation reasonable legal fees, reasonable brokerage commissions and reasonable tenant improvement allowances or other concessions, for the balance of the Lease Term exceed the discounted Present Value of the Rent to be paid by Lessee for the balance of the Lease Term, Lessee shall have no obligation to pay Lessor such liquidated damages and Lessor shall have no obligation to pay to Lessee the excess of such discounted Present Value of the Fair Market Rent over the discounted Present Value of the Rent.

(b) Assuming that Lessor has not exercised its right to terminate this Lease under paragraph (a) above, Lessor may terminate Lessee’s right of possession of the Property without terminating this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee that Lessee’s right to possession shall end on the date stated in such notice, whereupon the right of Lessee to possession of the Property or any part thereof shall cease on the date stated in such notice. If Lessor terminates Lessee’s right of possession of the Property without terminating this Lease, such termination of possession shall not release Lessee, in whole or in part, from Lessee’s obligation to pay the Rent hereunder for the then current Lease Term. In such event, Lessor shall have the right from time to time to recover from Lessee, and Lessee shall remain liable for, all accrued Rent not theretofore paid which is due under this Lease during the period from the date of such notice of termination of possession to the date of such demand by Lessor, but not for any period after the last day of the then current Lease Term. In any such case, Lessor shall not be obligated to use any efforts to relet the Property (which may be for a term extending beyond the then current Lease Term of this Lease). Also, in any such case, Lessor may change the locks or other entry devices of the Property and make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Property and redecorate the same to the extent deemed by Lessor, in its reasonable judgment, necessary or desirable, and Lessee shall upon written demand pay the reasonable costs thereof, together with any reasonable costs incurred by Lessor in accomplishing such reletting (the “Additional Expenses”). Lessor may collect the rents from any such reletting and apply the same first to the payment of late charges and default interest, second to the payment of maintenance, repair and insurance costs, third to the payment of the Additional Expenses and finally to the payment of Rent herein provided to be paid by Lessee, and any excess or residue shall operate as an offsetting credit against the amount of Rent payable hereunder as the same thereafter becomes due and payable; provided that the use of such offsetting credit to reduce the amount of Rent due Lessor, if any, shall not be deemed to give Lessee any right, title or interest in or to such excess or residue and any such excess or residue shall belong to Lessor solely; provided further that in no event shall Lessee be entitled to a credit against such Rent in excess of the aggregate amount (including the Rent and any Additional Expenses payable by Lessee) due hereunder or which would have been paid by Lessee for the period for which the credit to Lessee is being determined had no default occurred. No such reentry, repossession, repairs, alterations, additions or reletting shall (i) be construed as an eviction or ouster of Lessee or as an election on Lessor’s part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention is given to Lessee, or (ii) operate to release Lessee in whole or in part from any of Lessee’s obligations hereunder, and Lessor may, at any time and from time to time, xxx and recover judgment for any deficiencies from time to time remaining after the application from time to time of the proceeds of any such reletting.

(c) Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Laws or in equity, or proceed by appropriate court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof. A single suit or separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any period or periods with respect to which Rent shall have accrued, and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice Lessor’s right to collect any such damages for any subsequent period. Lessor may defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Base Term, in which event such suit shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Base Term.

Section 17.2. Survival of Lessee’s Obligations. No repossession of any or all of the Property or exercise of any remedy under this Lease, including termination of this Lease, shall, except as specifically provided herein, relieve Lessee of any of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, including the obligation to pay Rent. In addition, except as specifically provided herein, Lessee shall be liable for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before, after or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, including the Additional Expenses and reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses (plus interest on such amounts from the date payable until the date paid at the Default Rate) incurred by Lessor and Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default or the exercise of Lessor’s remedies with respect thereto and including all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the return of the Property in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of, Article 10 as if the Property were being returned at the end of the Lease Term.

Section 17.3. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver; Consents; Mitigation of Damages. To the extent permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements of, Applicable Laws, each and every right, power and remedy specifically given to Lessor in this Lease or otherwise available under Applicable Law shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Lessor, and the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Lessor in the exercise of any right, power or remedy or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein. Lessor’s consent to any request made by Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute or preclude the necessity for obtaining Lessor’s consent in the future to all similar requests. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Lease Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Lease Event of Default. Lessor shall not be obligated to use reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages suffered by Lessor that result from a Lease Event of Default.

ARTICLE 18.

RIGHTS TO PERFORM FOR LESSEE AND LESSOR

Section 18.1. Lessor’s Right to Perform for Lessee. If Lessee shall fail to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, following applicable notice and cure periods as provided in other provisions of this Lease, Lessor shall then provide written notice to Lessee that Lessee has failed to perform or comply with an agreement or obligation hereunder and specifying the nature of the failure to perform or comply and advising Lessee that if such failure continues for (a) a period of thirty (30) days, in the case of a failure which does not pose a risk of material damage to the structural components of the Improvements and (b) a period of five (5) days in the case of a failure that poses a risk of material damage to the structural components of the Improvements after this notice, then Lessor may, at its election, but shall not be required to, exercise its right to perform such repairs and/or obligations for Lessee under this Section 18.1. Thereafter, if Lessee does not perform or comply with its agreement as specified in such notice, Lessor may perform or comply with such agreement, and Lessor shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any default caused by such

failure, and the amount of payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder and made by Lessor on behalf of Lessee, and all reasonable out-of-pocket third-party costs and expenses of Lessor (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand. In addition, during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default in respect of Lessee’s obligations under Section 8.2, then, in addition to the rights above and at the cost of Lessee, (a) Lessor shall have the right to hire Persons (as selected by Lessor in its reasonable discretion) to cure such Lease Event of Default and to take any and all other actions necessary to cure such Lease Event of Default and (b) Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor, and the Persons hired by Lessor, in the performance of such cure, including without limitation (i) providing access (subject to the limitations with respect to access by an Inspecting Party provided in Section 15.1) to the Property at reasonable times during business hours.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall not be obligated to provide the notice required under this Section 18.1 in the event of an emergency.

Section 18.2. Lessee’s Right to Perform for Lessor. If Lessor shall fail to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein (including without limitation its obligations under Section 8.2), following applicable notice by Lessee as provided in other provisions of this Lease, Lessee shall then provide written notice to Lessor that Lessor has failed to perform or comply with an agreement or obligation hereunder and specifying the nature of the failure to perform or comply and advising Lessor that if such failure continues for (a) a period of thirty (30) days, in the case of a failure which does not impact Lessee’s business and operations at the Property, (b) a period of ten (10) days, in the case of a failure that impacts Lessee’s business and operations at the Property and (c) a period of five (5) days in the case of a failure that impacts Lessee’s business and operations at the Property in a material way or causes an interruption of Lessee’s business and operations after this notice, then Lessee shall exercise its right to perform for Lessor under this Section 18.2. Thereafter, if Lessor does not perform or comply with its agreement as specified in such notice, Lessee may perform or comply with such agreement, and the amount of payment required to be made by Lessor hereunder and made by Lessee on behalf of Lessor, and the reasonable out-of-pocket third-party costs and expenses of Lessee (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be immediately payable by Lessor to Lessee upon demand and may be offset against any Rent payment otherwise due hereunder. In addition, in the event Lessor fails to perform its obligations under Section 8.2, then, in addition to the rights above and at the cost of Lessor, (a) Lessee shall have the right to hire Persons (as selected by Lessee in its reasonable discretion) to perform such obligations of Lessor and (b) Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee, and the Persons hired by Lessee, in the performance thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not be obligated to provide the notice required under this Section 18.2 in the event of an emergency.

INDEMNITIES

Section 19.1. General Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnify, defend and save harmless Lessor, Lessor’s mortgagee, deed of trust trustee and beneficiary, Lessor’s ground lessor, if any, and Lessor’s agents, contractors, subcontractors, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Lessor Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Claims brought by third parties and that arise from Lessee’s or its subtenant’s, assignee’s, agent’s, licensee’s, contractor’s, subcontractor’s, concessionaire’s or employee’s or existing tenant’s (Lessee and such other parties collectively, the “Lessee Parties”) use and occupancy of the Property or from any other activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by any Lessee Party on or about the Property, but this indemnity shall not include any damages or Claims by third parties arising from or relating to any activity, work or thing done on or about the Property by any Lessor Party (as defined below). If any proceeding covered by this Section 19.1 is filed by a third party against any Lessor Indemnified Party, then at Lessor’s request, Lessee shall defend such Lessor Indemnified Party in such proceeding at Lessee’s sole cost with legal counsel selected by Lessee and reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. In no event shall Lessee be obligated to indemnify any Lessor Indemnified Party for any damages or Claims arising out of the grossly negligent act or omission or any willful misconduct of Lessor or any other Lessor Indemnified Party. This Section 19.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Section 19.2. No Third Party Environmental Indemnification. The parties agree that neither of them shall be obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the other for any Claim or liability arising under any Environmental Law as a result of the action, failure to act or negligence of any other Person (except in the case of Lessee, itself or the Lessee Parties, and in the case of Lessor, itself or the Lessor Parties) on or about the Property or on any surrounding property.

Upon any transfer by Lessor of the Property as above provided, any such transferee shall be deemed the “Lessor” for all purposes of this Lease and each reference herein to Lessor shall thereafter be deemed a reference to such transferee for all purposes, except to the extent that Lessor retains any obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE 24.

PERMITTED FINANCING

Section 24.1. Financing During Lease Term. Subject to the terms of this Section 24.1, Lessee’s rights under this Lease are subordinate to any underlying Leases, existing easements, licenses, or deeds of trust, mortgages or other security interest now or hereafter affecting the Premises or Lessor’s Property, provided that Lessee’s tenancy is not disturbed. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the foregoing subordination is self-operative and no further instrument of subordination is required; provided, however, Lessee hereby agrees to execute, at the Lessor’s request, any customary and reasonable instrument which the Lessor or any lender may deem necessary or desirable to effect the subordination and nondisturbance of this Lease to any such mortgage. Attached to this Lease as Exhibit “D” is a form of the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”) that the parties agree is reasonable and customary. Provided that Lessee receives a nondisturbance agreement executed by Lessor and the Lender, Lender will, without charge, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lessor the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (or such other form which is customary and reasonable, as determined by Lender, in its reasonable discretion) in recordable form, within ten (10) business days after such receipt of the applicable form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender may unilaterally elect to subordinate its mortgages and liens to this Lease. In no event will the Lessee be required to guarantee or be obligated on such mortgage or lien. If Lessor puts financing on the Property as of the Effective Date, then upon the commencement of this Lease, Lender shall provide an SNDA to Lessee, for recording at Lessee’s cost. No SNDA upon the commencement of the Lease will be required if there is no Lender at that time.

Section 24.2. Lessee’s Consent to Assignment for Indebtedness. Lessee acknowledges that in order to secure Lessor’s obligations to Lender, Lessor may agree, among other things, to the assignment (to the extent provided therein) to Lender of Lessor’s right, title and interest to this Lease. While the Mortgage or any replacements thereof are in effect and provided that Lessor has notified Lessee in writing of the existence and name and address of Lender, Lessee hereby:

(a) consents to such assignment of this Lease; and

(b) covenants to, if so directed by Lessor, make payment directly to Lender or its designee in accordance with the terms of this Lease of Base Rent and any amounts payable under Article 17.

Section 25.13. No Accord and Satisfaction. The acceptance by Lessor of any sums from Lessee (whether as Rent or otherwise) in amounts which are less than the amounts due and payable by Lessee hereunder is not intended, nor shall be construed, to constitute an accord and satisfaction or compromise of any dispute between such parties regarding sums due and payable by Lessee hereunder, unless Lessor specifically deems it as such in writing.

In addition, at the request of a party, the other party shall provide such information as may be requested by the requesting to determine the other party’s compliance with the terms hereof.

Section 25.21. REIT Status.

Should the Code or the Regulations, or interpretations thereof by the Internal Revenue Service contained in Revenue Rulings, be changed so that any Base Rent or Supplemental Rent no longer qualifies as “rent from real property” for the purposes of Section 856(d) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, other than by reason of the application of Section 856(d)(2)(B) or 856(d)(5) of the Code or the Regulations relating thereto, such Base Rent or Supplemental Rent shall be adjusted so that it will so qualify; provided, however, that any adjustments required pursuant to this Section shall be made so as to produce the equivalent (in economic terms) Base Rent or Supplemental as payable prior to such adjustment.

To the extent permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements of, Applicable Laws, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Lessor in this Lease or otherwise existing at law or in equity shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Lessor. No delay or omission by Lessor in the exercise of any right, power or remedy or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein. Lessor’s consent to any request made by Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute or preclude the necessity for obtaining Lessor’s consent, in the future, to all similar requests. No waiver by Lessor of any default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent default.

Section 25.24. Holding Over. Lessee covenants that if for any reason Lessee shall fail to vacate and surrender possession of the Property or any part thereof, in the condition required herein, on or before the expiration or earlier termination of this

Lease, then Lessee’s continued possession of the Property shall be as a tenant at sufferance, during which time Lessee shall, as to the portion of the Leased Premises in which Lessee is holding over, pay to Lessor an amount equal to (a) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of a pro-rata portion of the total monthly amount of Rent (corresponding to the portion of the Property still occupied by Lessee) payable hereunder immediately prior to such termination (the “Existing Rent”) and seek recovery from Lessee for any damages directly arising from Lessee’s holdover. The provisions of this Section 25.24 shall not in any way be deemed to (i) permit Lessee to remain in possession of the Property after the expiration date or sooner termination of this Lease or (ii) imply any right of Lessee to use or occupy the Property upon expiration or termination of this Lease and the Lease Term and no acceptance by Lessor of payments from Lessee after the expiration date or sooner termination of the Lease Term shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Lessee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 25.24. Lessee’s obligations under this Section 25.24 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Section 25.25. Survival. The following provisions shall survive the termination of this Lease: (a) Sections 6.1, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, Articles 7, 10, 12 and 19 to the extent relating to unfulfilled obligations of Lessee or Lessor arising or occurring prior to the date of termination of this Lease; (b) any provision of this Lease pursuant to which Lessor or Lessee had an existing obligation which was unsatisfied at the time of termination of this Lease and remains unsatisfied, including, without limitation, to the extent there was any unsatisfied obligation under Section 12.1 and Article 3; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 25.25 shall be deemed to extend any applicable statute of limitations; and (c) any other provision of this Lease which by its terms is expressly stated to so survive.

Section 25.26. Financial Statements. Lessee shall cause Guarantor to comply with any requirements of the Guaranty regarding financial statements. Within ninety (90) days after receipt of a written request, which may be by email, from Lessor or Lender, (but not more frequently than two (2) times in any lease year), Lessee shall submit to Lessor and Lender the most current internally prepared annual (no older than 1 year) balance sheet, income and cash flow statements, respectively, certified by a senior financial officer of Lessor, with a certification which states:

—

Statement of income for the month and year to date ended XXXX 3X, 20XX

—

Statement of cash flows for the month and year to date ended XXXX 3X, 20XX

To the best of my knowledge, the statements fairly represent the financial condition and results of operations.

These statements are true, correct and complete and were prepared in accordance with GAAP, or an alternative presentation which is reasonably consistent with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis, subject to changes resulting from normal year-end adjustments.”

Section 25.27. Relationship of Lease and Mortgage. This Lease, the leasehold estate of Lessee created hereby and all rights of Lessee hereunder are and shall be senior or subordinate to the Mortgage and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,

replacements and extensions of the Mortgage as requested by Lender. Lender and Lessee shall each execute and deliver to the other party a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D.

Section 25.28. Lessor Representations.

Section 25.29 Rooftop Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 25.29, Lessee during the Lease Term shall have an exclusive right, at no additional cost, to install, use operate, maintain, repair and replace communications dishes, antennas, monopoles, towers or other supporting structures and other communications equipment (“Communication Dishes”) on the rooftop of the Building and corresponding equipment rooms within the Building, and applicable chases, risers or the like therein (collectively the “Communication Spaces”) and the same shall be free from charge; provided however, that (i) Lessor shall have approved in its reasonable discretion the dimensions and specifications for the Communication Dishes, and the proposed method of attaching the Communication Dishes to the Communication Space; (ii) Lessor’s engineer determines that the space on which Lessee desires to install the Communication Dishes are capable of bearing the weight of the Communication Dishes. All Communication Dishes of Lessee in place as of the commencement of this Lease are approved by Lessor.

Prior to or contemporaneous with Lessee requesting Lessor’s approval of the installation of additional Communication Dishes, Lessee shall provide to Lessor: (i) plans and specifications for the Communication Dishes; (ii) copies of all required governmental and quasi-governmental permits, licensees, special zoning variances, and authorizations for the installation and operation of the Communication Dishes, all of which Lessee shall obtain at its own cost and expense; and (iii) unless Lessee is self-insuring as provided in Section 9.2 of this Lease, a policy or certificate of insurance evidencing such commercially reasonable insurance coverage as may be reasonably required by Lessor for the installation, operation and maintenance of the Communication Dishes. Lessor may withhold its approval of the installation of the Communication Dishes if the installation, operation or removal of the Communication Dishes may (A) damage the structural integrity of the Building or void any warranty or guaranty applicable to the roof or the Building; or (B) cause the violation of any zoning ordinance or other governmental or quasi-governmental law, rule or regulation applicable to the Building. Lessor may require as a precondition to its approval of the installation of any additional Communication Dishes if the same will exceed the load bearing specifications of the roof, that Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, install additional structural support (in a manner determined by Lessor’s engineer in its sole discretion) to the portion of the roof on which Lessee desires to install the Communication Dishes so that the load bearing specifications of the roof are not exceeded. Lessee shall not be entitled to rely on any such approval as being a representation by Lessor that such installation and operation is permitted by or in accordance with any zoning ordinance or other governmental or quasi-governmental law, rule or regulation applicable to the Building.

Lessor, upon reasonable notice to Lessee, shall be provided with access, while accompanied by a Lessee representative, to the any of the Communication Spaces, in order to inspect the Communication Dishes and to determine, inter alia, if the Communication Dish is causing damage to the roof or any other part of the Building. Lessor may require Lessee, at any time prior to the expiration of the Lease, to terminate the operation of any Communication Dish that Lessor reasonably establishes, after opportunity of Lessee to effect a cure to the issue, is causing physical damage to the structural integrity of the Building or voids any warranty or guaranty applicable to the roof or the Building, or is causing the violation of any governmental or quasi-governmental law, rule or regulation (now or hereafter in effect) applicable to the Building.

Unless Lessee desires to retain the Communication Dishes, as aforesaid at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, then Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, shall remove the Communication Dishes and all cabling and other equipment relating thereto from the Building, and Lessee shall restore the area where the Communication Dishes was located to its condition existing prior to such installation in a manner and with materials consistent with removal of communication dishes from data centers like the Property. In the event Lessee fails to promptly do so, Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to remove the Communication Dishes and all cabling and other equipment relating thereto and restore the area of the Roof and the other portions of the Building affected thereby, and charge Lessee for all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Lessee’s obligation to perform and observe this covenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of the Lease.

Lessee shall obtain, at its sole expense, all necessary licenses, permits and approvals from any Governmental Authority required in order to install, operate or maintain its Communication Dishes. Lessee shall install, maintain and use its Communication Dishes and repair any damage to the Building caused by Lessee’s installation, maintenance or use of its Communications Dishes, all at it sole expense, and in full compliance with Applicable Laws.

Lessee covenants and agrees that the installation, operation and removal of the Communication Dishes shall be at its sole cost and risk. Lessee covenants and agrees absolutely and unconditionally to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor harmless from and against all claims, actions, damages, liability, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered or sustained by Lessor arising out of the installation, operation, maintenance or removal of the Communication Dishes, including without limitation any loss or injury resulting from transmissions from the Communication Dishes or in any way relating to the connection of any component of the Communication Dishes to, or the removal of any component of the Communication Dishes from, the Building’s electric power source.

Lessor has designated Xxxx Xxxxxxxx as its exclusive “Authorized Representative” for purposes of dealing with the Lessee in connection with all matters relating to the Lease. All notices, consents, directions, approvals, instructions, requests and other communications required or permitted by the terms of the Lease to be given to Lessor shall be deemed given only when given in accordance with

Section 25.3 of the Lease, to Authorized Representative.

Lessor may, in its discretion, appoint a new Authorized Representative (the “New Authorized Representative”), and Lessor agrees that it shall notify Lessee of such New Authorized Representative in accordance with Section 25.3.

Section 25.31 Guaranty. Contemporaneously with the delivery of the executed Lease to Lessor, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a guaranty of this Lease by AT&T Teleholdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), in the form of Exhibit “E” attached hereto, dated and effective the same date as this Lease.

Guarantor has agreed to provide to Lessor this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits to be derived by Guarantor from enabling Lessee to lease the Property from Lessor in accordance with the terms of the Lease and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor agrees as follows for the benefit of Lessor:

1. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings given to them in the Lease.

2. Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lessor from and after (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default; (ii) the appointment of a receiver over the Lessee or the Lessee’s assets in connection with any State, Federal or Administrative Proceeding; or (iii) the filing by or against the Lessee of (x) a petition for bankruptcy under Title 11 of the United States Code; (y) an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (z) other insolvency, liquidation or dissolution proceeding: (a) the full and prompt payment of any and all Base Rent and Supplemental Rent payable by Lessee under the Lease, and (b) the full and timely performance and observance of all of the terms, provisions, covenants and obligations of Lessee under the Lease (collectively, with the payment of Rent, the “Obligations”).

3. Lessor may enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor at any time, from and after (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default; (ii) the appointment of a receiver over the Lessee or the Lessee’s assets in connection with any State, Federal or Administrative Proceeding, or (iii) the filing by or against the Lessee of (x) a petition for bankruptcy under Title 11 of the United States Code; (y) an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (z) other insolvency, liquidation or dissolution proceeding.

4. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty without regard to the validity or enforceability of any Obligations. Further, Guarantor expressly agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not in any way be terminated, affected or impaired by reason of (a) the granting by Lessor of any indulgences to Lessee, (b) the assertion against Lessee of any of the rights or remedies reserved to Lessor pursuant to the provisions of the Lease or (c) the release of Lessee from any of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease whether by operation of law or otherwise, provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be responsible for the amount by which Lessee’s liability under the Lease is reduced pursuant to a release, settlement or compromise memorialized in a written agreement executed by Lessor and Lessee. Guarantor hereby waives all suretyship defenses and all other defenses other than strict payment and performance in full of all Obligations other than as described in (c) above. Guarantor further covenants and agrees that this Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect as to any renewal, modification or extension of the Lease and, any assignment or other transfer thereof or any interest therein by Lessee, interests in Lessee or by operation of law, whether or not Guarantor shall have received any notice of or consent to such renewal, modification, extension or assignment. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and not merely a guaranty of collection.

5. It is agreed that the failure of Lessor to insist in any one or more instances upon strict performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or covenants of the Lease or to exercise any right therein contained shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment in the future of such term, provision, covenant or right.

6. All of Lessor’s rights and remedies under the Lease and this Guaranty are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right and remedy therein or herein provided is intended to be to the exclusion of or a waiver of any other.

7. Subject to paragraph 3, Guarantor hereby waives presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor and notice of acceptance. Guarantor further waives any right to require that an action be brought against Lessee or any other person or to require that resort be had by Lessor to any security held by Lessor. The foregoing provisions shall not constitute a waiver of any notice required by the terms of the Lease or this Guaranty.

8. Guarantor hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any and all rights, whether arising at law, in equity, by agreement or otherwise to subrogation to or indemnity, reimbursement or contribution from Lessee or any other Person primarily, contingently or secondarily directly or indirectly liable for all or any part of the Obligations that otherwise would arise out of or result from any payment by Guarantor to Lessor under or pursuant to this Guaranty.

9. In accordance with and subject to the applicable terms of the Lease, Lessor may assign all of its interests in and to the Lease to any person to whom Lessor sells the Property (as

defined in the Lease) and to any lender providing a loan to Lessor, or any collateral agent or trustee acting for the benefit of any such lender or lenders. Lessor will provide written notice to Guarantor, of any such assignment. In such event, each and every successive permitted assignee of this Guaranty and Lessor’s interest in the Lease notice of which Guarantor shall have received will have the right to enforce this Guaranty, by suit or otherwise, as fully as if such assignee were named herein. Guarantor will not assign its obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of Lessor, other than (i) to a successor to all or substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Guarantor or (ii) a subsidiary of AT&T Inc. with a senior unsecured debt rating not less than the rating of Guarantor immediately prior to the assignment. Guarantor will provide written notice to Lessee of any such assignment, provided that notwithstanding such assignment, Guarantor shall not be released from its obligation under this Guaranty.

10. Guarantor warrants and represents that (a) it has the legal right power, authority and capacity to execute this Guaranty, (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty do not violate any material agreements to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor is bound and (c) this Guaranty is fully binding on and enforceable against Guarantor, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, equitable principles or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general.

11. If at any time any part of any payment received by Lessor and applied to any of the Obligations is rescinded or avoided or returned by Lessor for any reason, including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of Lessee, Guarantor or any other Person, such Obligations shall be deemed to have continued in existence to the extent that such payment is rescinded, avoided or returned, and this Guaranty shall be reinstated as to such Obligations as though such prior application by Lessor had not been made or otherwise taken into account. The provisions of this Paragraph 11 shall survive the payment and satisfaction of the Obligations and this Guaranty as well as the delivery of any instruments of release, satisfaction or termination that may be delivered in connection with the Lease or this Guaranty.

12. In the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease by Lessee or Lessee’s receiver pursuant to any law affecting creditor’s rights, Guarantor shall, and does hereby (without the necessity of any further agreement or act), assume all obligations and liabilities of Lessee under or arising out of the Lease, to the same extent as if Guarantor had been originally named the lessee under the Lease and there had been no such rejection or disaffirmance. At the request of Lessor upon or after such rejection or disaffirmance, Guarantor shall confirm such assumption in writing. Upon such assumption, Guarantor shall have and succeed to all rights of Lessee under the Lease and shall be entitled to a new lease on all of the terms and conditions of the Lease with respect to the remaining Lease Term (to the extent permitted by law). Guarantor and Lessor shall execute and deliver such documents as the other party may from time to time reasonably require to evidence such assumption and succession.

13. Guarantor shall upon demand pay to Lessor the amount of any and all reasonable and documented expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, which Lessor may incur in connection with a successful enforcement of its rights hereunder.

14. The terms and provisions of this Guaranty, and the respective rights and obligations hereunder of Lessor and Guarantor, shall be binding upon their respective successors, legal representatives and assigns and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns.

15. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied by this Guaranty, Guarantor shall have the right to cure or cause to be cured any default under the Lease or Lease Event of Default within the cure periods provided for in the Lease in the case of a default. Lessor will accept any such cure by or caused by Guarantor. In the event Guarantor cures a Lease Event of Default as provided herein, Lessor shall not exercise any remedies against Lessee under Section 17.1 of the Lease.

16. Intentionally Omitted.

17. All notices to be sent hereunder shall be sent in the manner and deemed delivered at the times set forth in the Lease; with the exception that notices sent to Guarantor shall be sent to:

19. Lessor acknowledges that this Guaranty is a guarantee of the Obligations only and that Guarantor has not provided any security or collateral in support of the Guaranty.

23. Guarantor’s payment of any amount pursuant to this Guaranty shall not in any way entitle Guarantor to (and Guarantor hereby waives) any right, title or interest (whether by subrogation or otherwise) of the Lessee under the Lease or to any security being held for any Obligations.
