2.1 Term. The term of this Lease, and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent under this Lease, shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall continue in effect for the Term of the Lease, as the same may be extended, or earlier terminated, in accordance with the express terms of this Lease.
2.2 Delivery of Tenant Space. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the Commencement Date Conditions and deliver Premises-A and the Pathway to Tenant on or prior to the Target Commencement Date. Once and if Landlord completes the Commencement Date Conditions, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that, by virtue of Landlord’s delivery of the Commencement Date Notice to Tenant, Landlord shall be deemed to have delivered Premises-A and the Pathway to Tenant, and Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the same.
2.2.1 Landlord and Tenant agree that, if the Commencement Date Conditions have occurred prior to the Target Commencement Date, Landlord shall have the right to deliver the Commencement Date Notice to Tenant, and thereby cause the Commencement Date (or the Deemed Commencement Date, pursuant to Section 2.2.4, below) to occur, on or after the Early Delivery Date, provided that Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the notice of the Early Delivery Date at least ten (10) days prior to the Early Delivery Date.
2.2.2 In the event that the Commencement Date Conditions have not been completed by the Target Commencement Date, subject to extension by virtue of Tenant Delay* and Force Majeure*, Landlord shall not be deemed in default hereunder, and the Commencement Date shall be postponed, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy, until the date on which the Commencement Date Conditions have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Commencement Date Conditions have not occurred prior to the Outside Completion Date, subject to extension by virtue of Tenant Delay* and Force Majeure*, Tenant shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Lease, provided that (a) Tenant notifies Landlord of such termination prior to the earlier to occur of (1) completion of the Commencement Date Conditions; or (2) no later than ten (10) days after the Outside Completion Date; and (b) Landlord has not caused the Commencement Date Conditions to have been completed within five (5) days after its receipt of such notice of termination from Tenant. If (aa) the Commencement Date Conditions are completed prior to Tenant’s exercise of the foregoing termination right, (bb) the Commencement Date Conditions are completed within five (5) days after Tenant’s exercise of the foregoing termination right, or (cc) Tenant shall fail to exercise such termination right within ten (10) days after the Outside Completion Date, then such termination right shall, in any such event, be deemed to have expired and shall, thereafter, be of no further force or effect.
* | Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Tenant of the occurrence of such a delay reasonably contemporaneously with such occurrence. Additionally, Landlord and Tenant agree that extensions of the Target Commencement Date and the Outside Completion Date by Force Majeure shall be capped at an aggregate of one hundred (100) days of such delays. |
2.2.3 Intentionally Deleted.
-2-
2.2.4 Tenant agrees that, if the date of Landlord’s completion of the Commencement Date Conditions is, in effect, pushed back due to delays caused by Tenant Delay*, the Commencement Date shall, upon delivery of the Commencement Date Notice, be deemed (for the purpose of determining the first day of the Term and the first day of Rent accrual hereunder) to have been moved up to the Deemed Commencement Date. The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord’s post-Commencement Date obligations hereunder shall, in the event of a Deemed Commencement Date, be deemed to have commenced as of the actual date that the Commencement Date Notice is delivered to Tenant.
* | Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Tenant of the occurrence of such a delay reasonably contemporaneously with such occurrence. |
2.2.5 Delivery of Premises-B. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that, on the Phase II Expansion Date, Landlord shall be deemed to have delivered Premises-B to Tenant, and Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the same. For the avoidance of doubt (and notwithstanding the fact that Premises-A and Premises-B are (or will be) constructed as one combined cage), Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant shall have no right to occupy or use Premises-B (or any of the equipment or electrical power located in, provided to and/or serving such space, as applicable), until the occurrence of the Phase II Expansion Date.
2.3 Extension Options.
2.3.1 Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.3, Tenant shall have the number of Extension Options specified in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Information to extend the Term of this Lease, for the respective Extension Terms specified in such Item 6, upon the same terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the then-current Term of this Lease (except as provided otherwise herein). The monthly Extension Term Base Rent payable with respect to the Tenant Space for each year of the Extension Term shall be increased hereunder as of the first (1st) day of each such year to be equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Base Rent payable for the immediately preceding month of the Term of the Lease, as extended.
2.3.2 Tenant may exercise each Extension Option only by delivering an Extension Option Exercise Notice to Landlord at least six (6) calendar months prior to the then applicable expiration date of the Term, specifying that Tenant is irrevocably exercising its Extension Option so as to extend the Term of this Lease by an Extension Term on the terms set forth in this Section 2.3. In the event that Tenant shall duly exercise an Extension Option, the Term shall be extended to include the applicable Extension Term (and all references to the Term in this Lease shall be deemed to refer to the Term specified in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Information, plus all duly exercised Extension Terms). In the event that Tenant shall fail to deliver an Extension Option Exercise Notice within the applicable time period specified herein for the delivery thereof, time being of the essence, at the election of Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed to have forever waived and relinquished such Extension Option, and any other options or rights to renew or extend the Term effective after the then applicable expiration date of the Term shall terminate and shall be of no further force or effect.
2.3.3 Tenant shall have the right to exercise any Extension Option only with respect to the entire Tenant Space leased by Tenant at the time that Tenant delivers the applicable Extension Option Exercise Notice. If Tenant duly exercises an Extension Option, Landlord and
-3-
Tenant shall execute an amendment reflecting such exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any attempted exercise by Tenant of an Extension Option shall, at the election of Landlord, be invalid, ineffective, and of no force or effect if, on the date on which Tenant delivers an Extension Option Exercise Notice, or on the date on which the Extension Term is scheduled to commence, there shall be an uncured Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease.
3. | BASE RENT AND OTHER CHARGES. |
3.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord throughout the Term of this Lease. All Base Rent shall be paid to Landlord in monthly installments in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month throughout the Term of this Lease; provided, however, that (a) the installment of Base Rent for the first (1st) full calendar month of the Term shall be payable upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease; and (b) if the Term of this Lease does not commence on the first day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for the Partial Month shall (i) be calculated on a per diem basis determined by dividing the Base Rent above by the total number of calendar days in such Partial Month and multiplying such amount by the number of days remaining in such Partial Month from and after (and including) the Commencement Date, and (ii) be paid by Tenant to Landlord on the Commencement Date. Except as set forth in this Section 3.1, Tenant shall not pay any installment of Rent more than one (1) month in advance.
3.2 Installation Fee. Tenant shall pay the Installation Fee to Landlord, no later than the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of an invoice therefor. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Installation Fee represents partial remuneration to Landlord in consideration of the costs incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s Installations and otherwise in connection with Landlord’s fixturization of the Tenant Space related to this Lease.
3.3 Payments Generally. Base Rent payable hereunder by Tenant (i) shall be payable to Landlord when due, without any prior notice or demand therefor, in lawful money of the United States without any abatement, offset or deduction whatsoever (except as specifically provided otherwise herein), and (ii) shall be payable to Landlord at the address of Landlord specified in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Information (or to such other person or to such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing to Tenant). All forms of Additional Rent payable hereunder by Tenant (aa) shall be payable to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice for same, without any other notice or demand therefor, in lawful money of the United States without any abatement, offset or deduction whatsoever (except as specifically provided otherwise herein), and (bb) shall be payable to Landlord at the address of Landlord specified in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Information (or to such other person or to such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing to Tenant). No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease, the service of any notice, the commencement of any suit, or a final judgment for possession shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease or affect any such notice, demand, suit or judgment. No partial payment by Tenant shall be deemed to be other than on account of the full amount otherwise due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord shall be entitled to accept such payment without compromise or prejudice to any of the rights of Landlord hereunder or under any Applicable Laws. In the event that the Commencement Date or the expiration of the Term (or the date of any earlier termination of this Lease) falls on a date other than the first or last day of a calendar month, respectively, the Rent payable for such partial calendar month shall be prorated based on a per diem basis.
-4-
3.3.1 Landlord acknowledges and agrees that the Base Rent payable to Landlord under this Lease is on a “gross” basis except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, in consideration for all costs as may be incurred by Landlord for the operation, maintenance, management, insurance and repair of the Premises, Building and Property and the real estate taxes thereon. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not be responsible for payment of any of Landlord’s costs or expenses in connection with the Tenant Space, Building and Property.
3.4 Late Payments. As it relates to any Late Payment, Tenant shall, in addition to Tenant’s obligation to pay the Late Payment to Landlord, also be required to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, (i) a Late Charge, and (ii) Late Payment Interest from the Delinquency Date until the date the foregoing are paid, collectively, to cover Landlord’s additional administrative costs and damages related to such Late Payment, which are difficult, if not impossible, to determine. In no event, however, shall the charges permitted under this Section 3.4, or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent the same are considered to be interest under Applicable Law, exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest. Landlord’s acceptance of any Late Charge, or any Late Payment Interest, shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the Late Payment, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder or under any Applicable Laws.
3.5 Utilities. Tenant shall pay for all electricity and/or other utilities (e.g., chilled water) serving, provided to and/or used in, or for, the Tenant Space. Tenant shall pay each Tenant’s Utility Payment to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days of receipt of each Tenant’s Utility Payment invoice. The formula described in Section 3.5.1, below, has been designed to capture Tenant’s Shared Mechanical Payment. Additionally, in the event that Landlord determines that it is no longer commercially impractical to separately meter some or all of the utility costs related to some or all of the Shared Mechanical Equipment, then Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, cause the relevant Shared Mechanical Equipment to be separately metered to the Tenant Space. In such event, Tenant’s Utility Payment related to the newly metered Shared Mechanical Equipment shall thereafter be the separately metered cost of the shared utilities provided to, serving and/or used in, the Tenant Space by such equipment based upon the Shared Mechanical Metering Equipment (i.e., such payment would then be a Tenant’s Separately Metered Utility Payment). Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the utility costs for which Tenant shall be responsible include the actual cost of all utilities (including electricity) serving, provided to and/or used in the UPS Room and the Pump Room. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the parties that this Section 3.5 represents a mechanism only for Landlord’s cost recovery with regard to utilities (including electrical power) serving, provided to and/or used in or for the Tenant Space, and that there is no intent for Tenant’s Utility Payment to include any element of profit to Landlord in connection therewith.
3.5.1 Calculation of Tenant’s Datacenter Utility Payments.
3.5.1.1 During Periods of Premises Operation, the term Tenant’s Datacenter Utility Payment, as it relates to each Datacenter Utility Xxxx, shall mean the result of the following formula:
G = N x (A / B)
-5-
3.5.1.2 Intentionally Deleted.
3.5.2 Periods of Premises Underutilization. Tenant acknowledges that Shared Mechanical Costs will be incurred for the operation of the Datacenter, regardless of whether there is any power being drawn in the Premises. As such, Section 3.5.1, above, notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, during Periods of Premises Underutilization, Tenant’s Shared Mechanical Payment shall be a reasonable proration of the Shared Mechanical Costs, based on the ratio that the square footage of the Premises bears to the square footage of the Datacenter.
3.5.3 Generator Fuel Usage. Additionally, Tenant shall pay the cost of all Generator Fuel Usage, except for the extent to which such Generator Fuel Usage represents Maintenance Fuel Usage or results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Landlord shall xxxx Tenant not more frequently than monthly for the amount of the Generator Fuel Payment. Tenant shall pay the Generator Fuel Payment to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days of delivery of each Generator Fuel Payment invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the parties that this Section 3.5.3 represents a mechanism only for Landlord’s cost recovery with regard to non-maintenance related Generator Fuel Usage, and that there is no intent for Tenant’s Generator Fuel Payment to include any element of profit to Landlord in connection therewith.
3.5.4 Tenant’s Additional Rent Audit Right. Landlord shall keep complete books and records regarding all Additional Rent charges made by Landlord hereunder. All such records pertaining to a particular calendar year shall be retained for at least one (1) full calendar year after the expiration of such particular calendar year (i.e., all such records pertaining to the calendar year 2012 shall be retained at least until the end of the calendar 2013). Tenant shall have the right, once per twelve (12) month period during the Term, to audit the applicable Additional Rent records of Landlord to confirm that the Additional Rent charges billed to Tenant conform to the provisions of this Lease. Such right, as it relates to any calendar year, shall be exercisable by Tenant within one (1) year after the expiration of such calendar year. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant during each such audit in providing Tenant reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records for the calculation of such items of Additional Rent during normal business hours to enable Tenant to audit such books and records. If the audit discloses any overpayment on the part of Tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled to a credit on the next succeeding installment of Additional Rent, following Landlord’s confirmation of the correctness of such audit conclusions, for an amount equal to the overcharge, and such credit shall be extended to succeeding installments of Additional Rent in the event such overcharge exceeds the amount of the next succeeding such installment. In the event the Term of this Lease has expired or been earlier terminated, then Tenant shall be entitled to a refund of such excess from Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s confirmation of the correctness of such audit conclusions. In addition, in the event such audit by Tenant discloses such an overcharge in excess of ten percent (10%) of the amount payable pursuant to this Lease, then Landlord shall pay to Tenant the reasonable costs and expenses of such audit, not to exceed Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00) for any particular audit.
4. | TAXES. |
4.1 Taxes – Equipment. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay before delinquency all Taxes – Equipment. If any such Taxes - Equipment are levied or assessed against Landlord or the Property, and if Landlord elects to pay the same, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s demand therefor, that part of such Taxes – Equipment for which Tenant is liable hereunder. In the event that Tenant desires to contest such Taxes – Equipment, Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant in connection therewith at Tenant’s cost.
4.2 Taxes – Other. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent and within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s demand therefor, and in such manner and at such times as Landlord shall direct from time to time by written notice to Tenant all Taxes – Other.

4.2.1 Landlord represents and warrants that, to the best of Landlord’s Actual Knowledge, (a) no Taxes-Other are due or payable with regard to this Lease as of the Effective Date of this Lease; and (b) no Taxes-Other will be due or payable with regard to this Lease with regard to the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs.

Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for any losses, costs or damages caused by unauthorized parties who gain access to the Tenant Space or the Building through access cards, keys or other access devices provided to Tenant (or any other Tenant Party) by Landlord. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for any additional insurance premium charged by Landlord’s insurance carrier for any insurance policy by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.1.1.
6.2 Datacenter Rules and Regulations. Tenant’s Permitted Use shall be subject to, and Tenant, and all other Tenant Parties, shall comply fully with the Datacenter Rules and Regulations. Landlord shall have the right, from time-to-time, to change, amend and/or supplement the Datacenter Rules and Regulations as may be deemed by Landlord, in the exercise of its sole but good faith discretion, advisable for the safety, care and/or cleanliness of the Tenant Space, the Datacenter, the Building and/or the Property, and/or for the preservation of good order in any of same; provided, however, that such changes to the Datacenter Rules and Regulations may not increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease or unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Tenant Space. In the event of a conflict between the Datacenter Rules and Regulations and the terms of this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall govern. Tenant shall be responsible for causing the other Tenant Parties to comply with the Datacenter Rules and Regulations. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing when changes are made to Datacenter Rules and Regulations.
6.3 Compliance with Laws; Hazardous Materials.

6.3.2 Hazardous Materials. Tenant agrees that neither Tenant, nor any other Tenant Party, shall Handle any Hazardous Materials in the Tenant Space or any portion of the Building or the Property. Additionally, Tenant agrees that neither Tenant, nor any other Tenant Party, shall use the Tenant Space in any manner which may directly or indirectly lead to any non-compliance with any Environmental Law.
6.3.2.1 Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that, to the best of Landlord’s Actual Knowledge, as of the Effective Date, (a) except for the extent to which same is disclosed in the Environmental Reports, neither the Property, nor the Building nor the Tenant Space contain any Hazardous Materials, other than those amounts and types of Hazardous Materials (e.g., the battery acid contained within the Datacenter’s batteries) that are utilized in the ordinary course of operating the Datacenter, (b) except for the extent to which same is disclosed in the Environmental Reports, neither the Property, nor the Building nor the Tenant Space contain Hazardous Materials at levels or in conditions that are in violation of applicable Environmental Laws, (b) except for the extent to which same is disclosed in the Environmental Reports, no underground storage tanks are located on the Property, (c) no Claims or actions of any sort have been brought against Landlord concerning Hazardous Materials on the Property, and (d) no investigations have been initiated against Landlord concerning Hazardous Materials on the Property.

Tenant’s actual electricity consumption for the Premises, as reasonably determined by Landlord pursuant to such measurement method or methods as Landlord shall employ from time to time (including, without limitation, the use of sub-meters and/or pulse meters or electrical surveys), shall not at any time, exceed the Electricity Consumption Threshold. The power drawn by all of Tenant’s Personal Property shall be included in the calculation of Tenant’s actual electricity consumption for the Premises.

7. | ACCESS CONTROL; LANDLORD’S ESSENTIAL SERVICES; INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES; SAS 70. |
7.1 Access Control. Landlord will provide Landlord’s Access Control Systems during the Term of this Lease. Landlord reserves the right, but without assuming any duty, to institute additional access control measures in order to further control and regulate access to the Building or any part thereof. Landlord shall not, under any circumstances, be responsible for providing or supplying security services to the Datacenter, the Tenant Space or any part of the Building in excess of the Landlord’s Access Control Systems (and, unless expressly agreed in writing by Landlord, Landlord shall not under any circumstances be deemed to have agreed to provide any access control services in excess of the above specified Landlord’s Access Control Systems).

8. | MAINTENANCE; ALTERATIONS; REMOVAL OF TENANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY. |

During the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain the Tenant Space and Tenant’s equipment therein in good order and in a clean and safe condition.

The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any usual and customary installations, repairs, maintenance, and removals of electrical distribution equipment downstream of the PDUs in the Premises, equipment and telecommunication cables within the Tenant Space if and to the extent that such installations, repairs, maintenance, and removals (i) are usual and customary within the industry, (ii) are in compliance with the Datacenter Rules and Regulations, and (iii) will not adversely affect the Building’s structure, the provision of services to other Building tenants, or the Building’s electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety or mechanical systems. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (a) Landlord’s Installations are hereby deemed to be Alterations hereunder; and (b) all Landlord’s Installations shall be left as part of the Tenant Space, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, in good and operable condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted.

8.3.3 In any instance where Tenant desires to conduct Alterations, Tenant’s contractors, laborers, material men and others furnishing labor or materials for Tenant’s job must work in harmony, and not interfere, with any labor utilized by Landlord, Landlord’s contractors or mechanics or by any other tenant or such other tenant’s contractors or mechanics; and if at any time such entry by one (1) or more persons furnishing labor or materials for Tenant’s work shall cause disharmony or interference for any reason whatsoever without regard to fault, the consent granted by Landlord to Tenant and/or the express or implied permission for such persons to enter the Premises may be withdrawn at any time upon written notice to Tenant. Additionally, all such contractors, laborers, material men and others must obtain (and provide Landlord evidence of) such insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, prior to any such entry; provided that, in no event shall such insurance requirements exceed those that are described on Exhibit “B-1”, attached hereto.
8.4 Removal of Tenant’s Personal Property. Tenant agrees that, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, promptly remove all of Tenant’s Personal Property, and shall restore those portions of the Building, the Datacenter, and/or the Tenant Space damaged by such removal of (or by the initial installation of) such Tenant’s Personal Property to their condition existing immediately prior to the installation or placement of such items (including, without limitation, the replacement of all damaged floor tiles in the Premises), ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted. If Tenant fails to promptly remove any such Tenant’s Personal Property pursuant to this Section 8.4, Landlord shall have the right to cause the removal of such Tenant’s Personal Property and the restoration of those portions of the Building, the Datacenter, and/or the Tenant Space damaged by such removal to their condition existing immediately prior to the installation or placement of such Tenant’s Personal Property, ordinary wear and tear excepted, in which case Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s demand therefor, for all of Landlord’s actual and reasonable out of pocket costs of removal and restoration plus an administrative fee equal to five percent (5%) of such costs.

9. | CASUALTY EVENTS; TAKINGS; INSURANCE. |
9.1 Casualty Events; Takings.
9.1.1 Casualty Events. If, during the Term of this Lease, any portion of the Building, the Datacenter, or the Tenant Space shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by a Casualty Event, Landlord shall, subject to the terms of this Section 9.1.1, and Sections 9.1.1.1 and 9.1.1.2, below, cause the Casualty Repair to occur. Landlord shall provide the Casualty Repair Notice to Tenant as soon as is reasonably practicable following the Casualty Event. For the avoidance of doubt, however, such repair and reconstruction obligation shall not be deemed to include any obligation on the part of Landlord with regard to any Alteration other than Landlord’s Installations, nor any of Tenant’s Personal Property.
9.1.1.1 Landlord’s Termination Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Repair Period-Estimated exceeds ninety (90) days, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by, and effective upon, written notice to Tenant as part of the Casualty Repair Notice.
9.1.1.2 Tenant’s Termination Right. If (a) a Casualty Event causes damage to the Tenant Space, or (b) a Casualty Event causes damage to the Building, such that Tenant is prevented from accessing the Premises or Tenant’s use of the Premises/Pathway for the Permitted Use is materially impaired, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by, and effective upon, written notice to Landlord if (i) the Repair Period-Estimated exceeds ninety (90) days (in which case Tenant must provide written notice to Landlord of such termination within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Casualty Repair Notice), or (ii) the Repair Period-Actual exceeds ninety (90) days (in which case Tenant must provide written notice to Landlord of such termination prior to the one hundredth (100th) day of the Repair Period-Actual).
9.1.1.3 Casualty-Complete. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event of a Casualty-Complete, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of the Casualty-Complete.
9.1.1.4 Base Rent Abatement – Casualty Events. In the event that this Lease is terminated pursuant to Sections 9.1.1.1, 9.1.1.2 or 9.1.1.3, above, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any prepaid Base Rent, less any sum then owing to Landlord by Tenant. If, however, this Lease is not terminated pursuant to any of said Sections, Base Rent shall be abated proportionately during the Repair Period-Actual to the extent that the Tenant Space (i) is unfit for use by Tenant in the ordinary conduct of Tenant’s business, and (ii) actually is not used by Tenant.
9.1.2 Takings.
9.1.2.1 Total Taking. If all or substantially all of the Tenant Space, the Building or the Property shall be the subject of a Taking, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the vesting of title in the condemning authority.
9.1.2.2 Partial Taking. If only a part of the Tenant Space, the Building or the Property shall be the subject of a Taking, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the terms of Sections 9.1.2.3-9.1.2.7, below.
9.1.2.3 Landlord’s Termination Right – Partial Taking. If the part of the Building or the Property that is taken or condemned as part of the Taking contains a part of the Tenant Space, the Building or the Property that, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, is material to the operation of the Tenant Space, Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days following the date upon which Landlord received notice of such Taking. If Landlord so notifies Tenant, this Lease shall terminate upon the date set forth in the notice, which date shall not be more than thirty (30) days following the giving of such notice.
9.1.2.4 Tenant’s Termination Right – Partial Taking. If the part of the Building or the Property that is taken or condemned as part of the Taking contains any portion of the Premises that existed immediately prior to such Taking, or if, by reason of such Taking, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Tenant Space or Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises is materially impaired, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within sixty (60) days following the date upon which Tenant received notice of such Taking. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall terminate upon the date set forth in the notice, which date shall not be more than thirty (30) days following the giving of such notice.
-12-
9.1.2.5 Restoration – Taking. If this Lease shall not have been terminated pursuant to Sections 9.1.2.3 or 9.1.2.4, above, Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable, restore that part of the Tenant Space that was not taken or condemned as part of the Taking to a self-contained rental unit substantially equivalent (with respect to character, quality, appearance and services) to that which existed immediately prior to occurrence of the Taking, excluding Tenant’s Personal Property; provided, however, that in the event Tenant receives an award for Tenant’s Alterations, such amounts shall be applied towards the restoration of such items.
9.1.2.6 Base Rent Abatement – Taking. In the event that this Lease is terminated pursuant to Sections 9.1.2.1, 9.1.2.3 or 9.1.2.4, above, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any prepaid Base Rent, less any sum then owing to Landlord by Tenant. If, however, this Lease is not terminated pursuant to any of said Sections, Base Rent shall be reduced proportionately to the extent that the Premises is reduced as a result of the Taking.
9.1.2.7 Taking Award Rights. Landlord reserves the right to receive the entirety of the condemning authority’s award related to a Taking of any portion of the Property. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event that this Lease is terminated in connection with any Taking, Landlord expressly permits Tenant to make a separate claim against the condemning authority, in any appropriate proceeding, for the value of Tenant’s unamortized, but taken, leasehold improvements or other improvements to the Tenant Space made by Tenant and for Tenant’s moving expenses related to such Taking, but only if such claim and/or recovery does not reduce the condemnation/taking award otherwise payable to Landlord in connection with such Taking. If any such award that is made, or compensation that is paid, to either party specifically includes an award or amount for the other, the party first receiving the same shall promptly make an accounting of same to the other.
9.1.3 Tenant’s Remedy. Tenant’s termination rights and rights to Base Rent abatement, to the extent provided above in this Article 9, shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedies in the event of a Casualty Event or Taking.
9.2 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, procure and maintain throughout the Term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance in accordance with the terms and requirements set forth in Exhibit “B-1” to this Lease. All of Tenant’s insurance policies with respect to the Tenant Space shall be endorsed so as to include a waiver of subrogation in accordance with and to the full extent of Tenant’s waiver of claims with respect to the Landlord Group set forth in Section 14.1.1 of this Lease.
9.2.1 The commercial general liability policies procured by Tenant hereunder shall name Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent, and any Holders designated by Landlord as additional insureds. Prior to occupying the Tenant Space, and prior to the expiration of each such policy, Tenant shall submit to Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing such policies (and the applicable renewals thereof) being in effect. All insurance policies procured hereunder shall contain a provision stating that the insurer shall endeavor to provide at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord and all others named as additional insureds prior to any cancellation or material modification of such policy.
9.3 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, procure and maintain throughout the Term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance in accordance with the terms and requirements set forth in Exhibit “B-2” to this Lease. Each of such insurance policies shall be endorsed so as to include a waiver of subrogation in accordance with and to the full extent of Landlord’s waiver of claims with respect to the Tenant Group set forth in Section 14.1.2 of this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, however, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that, in no event, shall Landlord be obligated to carry any insurance covering any of Tenant’s Personal Property, any Alteration to the Tenant Space made by or on behalf of Tenant, or covering any Tenant Party.
10. | TRANSFERS. |
10.1 Restrictions on Transfers; Landlord’s Consent. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 10.1.1 and Section 10.5, below, to the contrary, Tenant shall not effect a Transfer, without Landlord’s express prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Except as
-13-
otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, no Transfer (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) shall be valid or effective without Landlord’s prior written consent and, at Landlord’s election, any such Transfer or attempted Transfer shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under Section 15.1.2 of this Lease.
10.1.1 Permitted Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant may, without the consent of Landlord (and without being subject to Landlord’s recapture rights under Section 10.3, below) undertake Permitted Transfers.
10.2 Notice to Landlord. If Tenant desires to make any Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer, for which Tenant must merely notify Landlord prior to the occurrence of same), then at least ten (10) business days (but no more than one hundred eighty (180) days) prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer, Tenant shall submit a Transfer Notice to Landlord. If, thereafter, Tenant modifies any of the terms and conditions relevant to a proposed Transfer specified in the Transfer Notice, Tenant agrees to re-submit such Transfer Notice to Landlord for its consent pursuant to all of the terms and conditions of this Article 10.
10.3 Landlord’s Recapture Rights. Except with regard to a Permitted Transfer, at any time within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of all (but not less than all) of the information and documents described in Section 10.2, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable by written notice to Tenant, to elect to cancel and terminate this Lease.
10.4 No Release; Subsequent Transfers. No Transfer (whether or not a Permitted Transfer) will release the undersigned Tenant from Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of the undersigned Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. In no event shall the acceptance of any payment by Landlord from any other person be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer will not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of breach by any Transferee in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against the undersigned Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee.
10.5 Colocation. Landlord acknowledges that the business to be conducted by the undersigned Tenant in the Premises may require Tenant to enter into Colocation Agreements that will permit Colocation Parties to engage in Colocation Activities. Landlord expressly agrees that Tenant may, without the need for Landlord’s consent, enter into such Colocation Agreements; provided, however, that (a) the Colocation Agreements, and each Colocation Party’s use of the Tenant Space, must comply with the terms of this Lease (including the Datacenter Rules and Regulations) and all Applicable Laws; (b) the Colocation Agreements, and the Colocation Parties’ rights thereunder, shall be subject and subordinate at all times to this Lease and all of its provisions, covenants and conditions; and (c) in no event may the rights of any Colocation Party, vis a vis the members of the Landlord Group, be greater than the rights of Tenant hereunder. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Colocation Agreements shall not constitute, or be deemed to be, the grant of a leasehold interest, or otherwise constitute, or be deemed to be, a real property interest.
10.6 Excess Rent. Landlord and Tenant agree that, if Tenant assigns this Lease, or subleases any part of the Tenant Space, for any Excess Rent, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of any such Excess Rent immediately upon Tenant’s receipt thereof.
11. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. At any time and from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after written request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying all matters relating to this Lease reasonably requested by Landlord and/or any prospective purchaser of the Building and/or the Property and/or any Holder. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any statement delivered (or to be delivered) pursuant to this Article 11 may be relied upon by Landlord and any prospective purchaser of the Building and/or the Property and by any current and/or prospective Holder, and any assignee of any such Holder.
12. | SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT; HOLDER RIGHTS. |
12.1 Subordination and Attornment. Without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, and at the election of Landlord or any Holder, this Lease will be subject and subordinate at all times to all Security Documents, which may now exist or hereafter be
-14-
executed which constitute a lien upon or affect the Property or any portion thereof, or Landlord’s interest and estate in any of said items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right to subordinate (or cause the subordination of) any such Security Documents to this Lease. In the event of any termination or transfer of Landlord’s estate or interest in the Property, the Building, the Datacenter or the Tenant Space by reason of any termination or foreclosure of any such Security Documents (and notwithstanding any subordination of such Security Document to this Lease that may or may not have occurred), at the election of Landlord’s successor in interest, Tenant agrees to attorn to and become the tenant of such successor, in which event Tenant’s right to possession of the Property will not be disturbed as long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice or cure periods. Tenant hereby waives any right under any Applicable Law or otherwise to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any termination or transfer of Landlord’s estate or interest in the Property, the Building, the Datacenter, or the Tenant Space by reason of any termination or foreclosure of any such Security Documents. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, within fifteen (15) days of receipt thereof, and in the form reasonably required by Landlord or any Holder, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease and Tenant’s agreement to attorn with respect to any such Security Document; provided, however, any such agreement subordinating this Lease to such lease, mortgage or deed of trust shall contain a non-disturbance provision that is reasonably acceptable to such Holder, Landlord and Tenant in accordance with Section 12.3, below.
12.2 Holder Protection. Tenant agrees to give each Noticed Holder, by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord by Tenant. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days after such notice to Landlord (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then within such additional time as may be necessary if Landlord has commenced such cure within such thirty (30) days and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default), then, prior to Tenant pursuing any remedy for such default provided hereunder, at law or in equity, any Noticed Holder shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure or correct such default (or if such default cannot reasonably be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if the Noticed Holder has commenced within such thirty (30) days and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default).
12.3 SNDA. Simultaneously with execution of this Lease if the Building is subject to any Security Document, or if the Building is not so subject as of the Effective Date, then at any time that the Building is hereafter made subject to any Security Document(s), Landlord shall use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Holder to deliver an SNDA to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the subordination of this Lease to any Security Document hereafter placed upon the Building, and Tenant’s agreement to attorn to the Holder as provided in this Article 12, shall be conditioned upon the Holder entering into an SNDA.
13. | SURRENDER OF TENANT SPACE; HOLDING OVER. |
13.1 Tenant’s Method of Surrender. Upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Tenant Space, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 13 and Section 8.4, quit and surrender possession of the Tenant Space to Landlord in good working order and clean condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
13.2 Disposal of Tenant’s Personal Property. If any property not belonging to Landlord remains in the Tenant Space after the expiration of, or within fifteen (15) days after any earlier termination of, the Term of this Lease or the termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Tenant Space, Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned such property and to have authorized Landlord to make such disposition of such property as Landlord may desire without liability for compensation or damages to Tenant or any other Tenant Party.
13.3 Holding Over. If Tenant should remain in possession of all or any portion of the Tenant Space after the expiration of the Term of this Lease (or any earlier termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Tenant Space), without the execution by Landlord and Tenant of a new lease or an extension of the Term of this Lease, then Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the entire Tenant Space as a tenant-at-sufferance, upon all of the terms contained herein, except as to term and Base Rent and any other provision reasonably determined by Landlord to be inapplicable. During any such holdover period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly Base Rent in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent payable by
-15-
Tenant to Landlord during the last month of the Term of this Lease and one hundred percent (100%) of the Additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the last month of the Term of this Lease. The monthly rent payable for such holdover period shall in no event be construed as a penalty or as liquidated damages for such retention of possession, nor shall such monthly rent be considered to be any form of Consequential Damages related to such retention of possession. Neither any provision hereof nor any acceptance by Landlord of any rent after any such expiration or earlier termination shall be deemed a consent to any holdover hereunder or result in a renewal of this Lease or an extension of the Term, or any waiver of any of Landlord’s rights or remedies with respect to such holdover. As such, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Tenant Space upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease or upon the earlier termination hereof or at any time during any holdover and the right to assert any remedy at law or in equity to evict Tenant and collect damages in connection with any such holdover.
13.4 Survival. The provisions of this Article 13 shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Lease.
14. | WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION; CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LIENS. |
14.1 Waivers.
14.1.1 Tenant hereby waives its rights against the Landlord Group with respect to any claims or damages or losses for bodily injury to persons and/or damage to any Tenant’s Personal Property, which are caused by or result from (i) risks insured against under any insurance policies which are required to be obtained and maintained by Tenant under this Lease, and were, in fact, carried by Tenant at the time of such claim, damage, loss or injury, or (ii) risks which would have been covered under any insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Tenant under this Lease had such insurance been obtained and maintained as required, including all such claims, damages and losses, which are caused by or result from the negligence or willful misconduct of any member of the Landlord Group. The foregoing waivers shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other waivers or releases contained in this Lease.
14.1.2 Landlord hereby waives its rights against the Tenant Group with respect to any claims or damages or losses for bodily injury to persons and/or for damage to the Building, the Property and/or Landlord’s equipment and fixtures, which are caused by or result from (i) risks insured against under any insurance policies which are required to be obtained and maintained by Landlord under this Lease and that were, in fact, carried by Landlord at the time of such claim, damage, loss or injury, or (ii) risks which would have been covered under any insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Landlord under this Lease had such insurance been obtained and maintained as required, including all such claims, damages and losses, which are caused by or result from the negligence or willful misconduct of any member of the Tenant Group. The foregoing waivers shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other waivers or releases contained in this Lease.

(i) the use or occupancy of the Tenant Space or any portion of the Building or the Property by Tenant or any other Tenant Party and/or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant or any other Tenant Party, including, without limitation:
(a) Claims related to any Colocation Agreement;
(b) the acts or omissions of any Colocating Party;

(d) the malfunctioning of Tenant’s Security System;
(e) Claims related to any of Tenant’s Personal Property;
(f) Claims by any Tenant Party (or any individual accessing the Tenant Space on any Tenant Party’s behalf) for bodily injury;
(g) Tenant’s failure to surrender the Tenant Space upon the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Tenant Space in accordance with the terms of this Lease; and
(h) the removal, exercise of dominion over and/or disposition of any of Tenant’s Personal Property that is left in the Tenant Space after the expiration of the Term of this Lease in violation of Section 13.2.

(iii) any person or entity, other than the Tenant’s Broker listed in Item 13 of the Basic Lease Information, making a claim for any commission or other compensation in connection with the execution of this Lease or the leasing of the Tenant Space to Tenant if based on an allegation that such claimant dealt through Tenant.
14.2.1.2 The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant shall not be required to indemnify Landlord or any other member of the Landlord Group to the extent that the relevant Claims were caused by the active gross negligence or willful misconduct of any member of the Landlord Group.
14.2.1.3 In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord or any other member of the Landlord Group by reason of any indemnified Claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend such action or proceeding at Tenant’s cost and expense by counsel reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant agrees that no settlement offer shall be offered or accepted by Tenant in connection with any such indemnification and/or defense without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. This indemnity provision and Tenant’s obligations under this Section 14.2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease as to any matters arising prior to such expiration or termination or prior to Tenant’s vacation of the Tenant Space and the Building. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Section 14.2, nothing contained in this Section 14.2 shall be interpreted or used in any way to affect, limit, reduce or abrogate any insurance coverage provided by any insurer to either Tenant or Landlord.
14.2.2 Indemnification by Landlord. Landlord hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tenant and the other members of the Tenant Group from and against (and to reimburse Tenant and the other members of the Tenant Group for) all Claims to the extent arising from or in connection with the active gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any member of the Landlord Group at the Property.
14.2.2.1 The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord shall not be required to indemnify Tenant or any other member of the Tenant Group to the extent that the relevant Claims were caused by the active gross negligence or willful misconduct of any member of the Tenant Group.
14.2.2.2 In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant or any other member of the Tenant Group by reason of any indemnified Claim, Landlord
-17-
upon notice from Tenant shall defend such action or proceeding at Landlord’s cost and expense by counsel reasonably approved by Tenant. Landlord agrees that no settlement offer shall be offered or accepted by Landlord in connection with any such indemnification and/or defense without Tenant’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. This indemnity provision and Landlord’s obligations under this Section 14.2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease as to any matters arising prior to such expiration or termination. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Section 14.2, nothing contained in this Section 14.2 shall be interpreted or used in any way to affect, limit, reduce or abrogate any insurance coverage provided by any insurer to either Tenant or Landlord.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary (express or implied) contained herein, under no circumstances whatsoever shall Landlord or Tenant ever be liable under this Lease for first-party or third-party Consequential Damages; provided, however, that Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord and the other members of the Landlord Group harmless with regard to (and to reimburse Landlord and any other members of the Landlord Group for) any and all claims by, through, or under any Tenant Space Customer for Consequential Damages related to any use of the Tenant Space or any equipment located within the Tenant Space, excluding all such claims, if any, which arise as a result of the gross negligence of the Landlord Group.
14.4 Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Tenant have any right (express or implied) to create or permit there to be established any lien or encumbrance of any nature against the Tenant Space, the Building or the Property or against Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest therein or hereunder, including, without limitation, for any improvement or improvements by Tenant, and Tenant shall fully pay the cost of any improvement or improvements made or contracted for by Tenant. Tenant shall require each contractor which it engages to perform any improvements or alterations within the Tenant Space or elsewhere in the Building or the Property, to acknowledge and agree in writing that it is performing its work under its agreement with Tenant solely for the benefit of Tenant and that Tenant is not acting as Landlord’s agent. Any mechanic’s lien filed against the Tenant Space, the Building or the Property, or any portion of any of the above, for work claimed to have been done, or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant, shall be duly discharged or bonded off by Tenant within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant of the filing of the lien.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all of the notice periods provided in this Section 15.1 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, the notice requirements of any Applicable Laws.
15.2 Remedies.

16.1.1.1 if: (a) Landlord shall fail to perform or observe any of Landlord’s Lease Undertakings, and (b) such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice to Landlord of such failure; provided, however, that in the event that Landlord’s failure to perform or observe any of Landlord’s Lease Undertakings cannot reasonably be cured within ten (10) days following written notice to Landlord, such failure to cure shall not be a Landlord Default if Landlord commences its cure within such ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the curing thereof to completion. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide daily updates to Tenant regarding progress toward such completion.
16.1.1.2 The filing or execution or occurrence of any one of the following, provided the same is not dismissed or otherwise rectified within sixty (60) days: (i) a petition in bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding by or against Landlord, (ii) a petition or answer seeking relief for Landlord under any provision of the Bankruptcy Act, (iii) an assignment by Landlord for the benefit of creditors, (iv) a petition or other proceeding by or against Landlord for the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of Landlord or any of Landlord’s property, (v) a proceeding by any governmental authority for the dissolution or liquidation of Landlord, or (vi) any other instance whereby Landlord or any general partner of Landlord or any guarantor of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease shall cease doing business as a going concern.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) in the event of any Landlord Default, Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedies for any such failure shall be an action for money damages, specific performance and/or injunctive relief, and (b) in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate the Lease nor shall Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent or other charges under this Lease xxxxx based upon any default by Landlord of its obligations under the Lease. In that connection, Tenant hereby expressly waives any right conveyed to Tenant by virtue of any law granting Tenant a lien upon the property of Landlord and/or upon rental due to Landlord or granting Tenant a right to withhold Rent and/or terminate this Lease.

(ii) other than Landlord’s Liability Cap, Tenant shall have no recourse against any other assets of Landlord;
(iii) Tenant shall have no recourse against any assets of any member of the Landlord Group other than Landlord;

(v) no personal liability or personal responsibility of any sort with respect to any of Landlord’s Lease Undertakings, or any alleged breach thereof, is assumed by, or shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against, any member of the Landlord Group other than Landlord.
16.3 Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. Landlord (and each of Landlord’s successors-in-interest) shall have the right, from time to time, to assign its interest and obligations, in writing and/or by operation of law, in and under this Lease to any third party to whom Landlord conveys its interest in the Property. Once and if Landlord (and/or any successor to Landlord) shall convey its interest in the Property to a third party, (a) Landlord (and each such successor) shall be fully released from all of the obligations and liabilities of Landlord under the Lease Documents accruing on or after the date of such transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Property to such third party, and (b) Tenant agrees to look solely to the successor-in-interest of Landlord for all such obligations and liabilities accruing on or after the date of such transfer. If any security has been given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of any of the covenants of this Lease, Landlord shall transfer or deliver said security, as such, to Landlord’s successor in interest and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with regard to said security.
16.3.1 Status as a Real Estate Investment Trust. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to assign part of its interest and obligations in and under this Lease to a wholly owned subsidiary of Landlord (or a wholly owned subsidiary of Landlord’s parent company), if and to the extent that Landlord determines such partial transfer is necessary or advisable in connection with the status of Landlord, or any other member of the Landlord Group, as a real estate investment trust.
16.3.2 Partial Assignment. Should Landlord assign part of its obligation to a third party, Landlord shall, subject to the terms of Sections 14.1, 14.2 and 16.2, retain the responsibility for ensuring that the assigned obligations are properly performed under this Lease, including ensuring that such third party provides all reasonable account management services.
17. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
17.1 Severability. If it is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, (i) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and shall remain in full force and effect; and (ii) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to effectuating the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
-20-
17.2 No Waiver. No failure or delay by Landlord to insist on the strict performance of any obligation, covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease, or to exercise any right or remedy available upon such non-performance, will constitute a waiver thereof, and no breach or failure by Tenant to perform will be waived, altered or modified, except by written instrument signed by Landlord.
17.3 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. If either Landlord or Tenant initiates any litigation, mediation, arbitration or other proceeding regarding the enforcement, construction or interpretation of this Lease, then the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including, without limitation, all reasonable expense reimbursements, reasonable expert witness fees, reasonable litigation costs, court or arbitration tribunal costs, filing fees, reasonable exhibit fees, reasonable forensic consultant fees, reasonable litigation support costs, the costs of appeals and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with post-judgment collection and enforcement efforts). In addition, if it should otherwise be necessary or proper for Landlord to consult an attorney concerning this Lease for the review of instruments evidencing a proposed Transfer or for the purpose of collecting Rent, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord its actual attorneys’ fees whether suit be brought or not to the extent such fees exceed $1,000.00. The parties agree that this Section 17.3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
17.4 Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY TRIAL HELD AS A RESULT OF A CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR IN ANY MANNER RELATED TO THIS LEASE IN WHICH LANDLORD AND TENANT ARE ADVERSE PARTIES. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE FILING OF A CROSS-COMPLAINT BY ONE AGAINST THE OTHER IS SUFFICIENT TO MAKE THE PARTIES “ADVERSE.”
17.5 Headings; Time; Survival. The headings of the Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits of this Lease are for convenience only and do not define, limit or construe the contents thereof. Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. In all instances where a party is required to pay any sum or do any act at a particular indicated time or within an indicated period, it is understood that time is of the essence.

No contractual or other rights shall exist between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Tenant Space until both have executed and delivered this Lease, notwithstanding that Landlord has delivered to Tenant an unexecuted copy of this Lease.

17.15 No Partnership or Joint Venture; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

CALIFORNIA STATE LAW PROVISIONS
1. | REMEDIES FOR EVENTS OF DEFAULT. |
1.1. Landlord’s Right to Terminate Upon Tenant Default. In the event of any Event of Default by Tenant as provided in Section 15.1 of the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and recover possession of the Tenant Space by giving written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease, in which event Landlord shall be entitled to receive from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and (e) at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by Applicable Laws. As used in clauses (a) and (b), above, “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the then highest lawful contract rate of interest. As used in clause (c), above, “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the Discounting Rate (defined below). As used herein, the term “Discounting Rate” means the lesser of (i) the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Laws.
1.2. Landlord’s Right To Continue Lease Upon Tenant Default. In the event of a default of this Lease and abandonment of the Tenant Space by Tenant, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 1.1, above, Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the proceeds of any reletting shall be applied first to pay to Landlord all costs and expenses of such reletting (including without limitation, costs and expenses of retaking or repossessing the Tenant Space, removing persons and property therefrom, securing new tenants, including expenses for refixturizing, alterations and other costs in connection with preparing the Tenant Space for the new tenant, and if Landlord shall maintain and operate the Tenant Space, the costs thereof) and receivers’ fees incurred in connection with the appointment of and performance by a receiver to protect the Tenant Space and Landlord’s interest under this Lease and any necessary or reasonable alterations; second, to the payment of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than Rent due and unpaid hereunder; third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of other or future obligations of Tenant to Landlord as the same may become due and payable, and Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any portion of such revenue. No re-entry or taking of possession of the Tenant Space by Landlord pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such election shall be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord, Landlord may, at any time after such reletting, elect to terminate this Lease for any such Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant under Section 15.1 of the Lease, if the Tenant Space or any portion thereof are sublet, Landlord, in addition and without prejudice to any other remedies herein provided or provided by Applicable Laws, may, at its option, collect directly from the sublessee all rentals becoming due to the Tenant and apply such rentals against other sums due hereunder to Landlord.
1.3. Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Exhibit “D”, Tenant’s right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Tenant Space (or any portion
-1-
thereof), by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Tenant Space (or any portion thereof), or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant’s right to possession.
1.4. Waiver of Right of Redemption. Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all right now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Tenant Space after any termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, the expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of Tenant’s rights to possession of the Tenant Space shall not discharge, relieve or release Tenant from any obligation or liability whatsoever under any indemnity provision of this Lease, including without limitation the provisions of Section 14.2 of this Lease.
1.5. Cumulative Remedies; Equitable Relief. The specific remedies to which Landlord may resort under the provisions of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which it may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, subject to Applicable Laws, Landlord shall be entitled to a restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or to a decree compelling specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions.

FIRST AMENDMENT
TO
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO TURN KEY DATACENTER LEASE (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the latest date of execution as set forth on the signature page hereof (the “1A Effective Date”), by and between DIGITAL XXXXXX, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and CONSTANT CONTACT, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant have heretofore entered into that certain Turn Key Datacenter Lease having an effective date of December 31, 2010 (the “TKD Lease”), covering approximately 3,600 total square feet of area (the “Premises”) located in Suite 140 (the “Datacenter”), in that certain building located at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Building”);
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant have heretofore entered into that certain POP Room Rider having an effective date of December 31, 2010 (the “POP Rider”), which amends and modifies the TKD Lease and covers (i) two (2) one-quarter (1/4) racks in Suite 155 of the Building, and (ii) two (2) one-quarter (1/4) racks in Suite 142 of the Building (the TKD Lease and the POP Rider are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Lease”);
WHEREAS, any capitalized term or phrase used in this Amendment shall have the same meaning as the meaning ascribed to such term or phrase in the Lease unless expressly otherwise defined in this Amendment; and
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to further modify the terms of the Lease in accordance with the terms and conditions herein provided.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration paid by each party hereto to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1. Early Access.
A. Definitions. As used herein:
(i) “Early Access” shall mean and refer to Tenant’s ability to enter Premises-A prior to the Commencement Date and Premises-B prior to the Phase II Expansion Date, for the purposes of inspecting same and for performing Tenant Work.
-1-
(ii) “Early Access Date” shall mean and refer to the date upon which Landlord provides Tenant the Early Access Notice. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Early Access Date to occur on or before April 1, 2011.
(iii) “Early Access Notice” shall mean and refer to the notice from Landlord to Tenant notifying Tenant that Landlord has advanced the Commencement Date Conditions sufficiently to allow Tenant to engage in certain activities of Tenant Work prior to the Commencement Date.
(iv) “Early Access Period” shall mean and refer to (a) the period between the Early Access Date and the Commencement Date, as it relates to Premises-A, and (b) the period between the Early Access Date and the Phase II Expansion Date, as it relates to Premises-B.
(v) “Tenant Work” shall mean and refer to all installations in the Premises, other than the completion of the Commencement Date Conditions, including the installation of Tenant’s Personal Property.
B. License. Landlord agrees to permit Tenant and the other Tenant Parties to have Early Access in the Premises, on and after the Early Access Date, except during the performance of Commissioning of the Datacenter. Any such permission shall constitute a license only, conditioned upon Tenant and Tenant’s contractors’ obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) with regard to each item of Tenant Work that any of such parties desire to undertake during the Early Access Period. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease or this Amendment to the contrary, the Early Access Period may be reduced by Landlord to the extent such Early Access materially interferes with Landlord’s ability to complete the Commencement Date Conditions on or before the Target Commencement Date. Tenant’s Early Access shall be subject to (and, during such period, Tenant must comply with) all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, excepting only the payment of Base Rent; provided, however, Tenant’s Early Access to Premises-B during Phase I shall not affect Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent during the Phase I period. Additionally, Tenant agrees that (a) Landlord’s obligations to provide services to Premises-A and/or the equipment serving Premises-A shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall not apply during the Early Access Period for Premises-A, (b) Landlord’s obligations to provide services to Premises-B and/or equipment serving Premises-B shall commence on the Phase II Expansion Date and shall not apply during the Early Access Period for Premises-B, and (c) Tenant shall be required to pay any and all electricity charges that accrue to the Premises during the Early Access Period. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant agrees that Tenant will only perform Tenant Work in the Premises during the Early Access Period, and that Tenant will not commence business operations in Premises-A prior to the Commencement Date, nor will Tenant commence business operations in Premises-B prior to the Phase II Expansion Date.
2. Confidentiality. Each party agrees that (i) the terms and provisions of this Amendment are confidential and constitute proprietary information of the parties; and (ii) as such, the terms and provisions of this Amendment are, and shall be, subject to the terms of Section 17.19 of the Standard Lease Provisions of the TKD Lease.
-2-
3. Miscellaneous.
A. In the event that the terms of the Lease conflict or are inconsistent with those of this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall govern.
B. The Lease is hereby amended as and where necessary to give effect to the express terms of this Amendment. Except as amended by this Amendment, the terms of the Lease remain in full force and effect.
C. This Amendment shall become effective only upon execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
D. This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same Amendment. Landlord and Tenant agree that the delivery of an executed copy of this Amendment by facsimile or e-mail shall be legal and binding and shall have the same full force and effect as if an original executed copy of this Amendment had been delivered.
