Upon payment of the applicable fees and subject to the terms and conditions herein, Sentinel (i) grants Customer a license (sometimes herein the “License”) for the License Term to use the distinct areas (hereinafter, the “Space”) of the Sentinel Bedford Data Center described in Attachment 1 attached hereto and identified in any Sales Order separately signed by Sentinel and Customer, including any Sales Order hereafter signed, the License to be solely for the purpose of installing, operating, maintaining, altering and repairing in the Space equipment which will at all times belong to Customer or its third party supplier and will not belong to Sentinel (“Equipment’’), and (ii) shall provide certain services that are set forth in an Order (each such service, a “Service”). If Sentinel and Customer subsequently sign any new Sales Orders, the Space identified in that Sales Order shall ipso facto become part of the “Space” for all purposes under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the License is acknowledged to be a Service. | ||
b) | At all times during the Term, Sentinel and Customer agree to comply with the rules, regulations and procedures set forth in the Occupant Handbook, which rules, regulations and procedures are at all times incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that it has received a copy of the current Occupant Handbook prior to execution of this Agreement. | ||

Provided that all damage caused by such removal shall be promptly repaired, Customer may remove any or all of its assets from the Space and the Property at any time, in its sole discretion, and Sentinel agrees to provide Customer with access to remove such assets, upon Customer’s request from time to time. |
3) | No Use of Space by Others. |
Customer
may not sublicense the Space or any portion thereof or permit any occupancy or
use thereof or access thereto by anybody other than Customer or its Affiliates and their
agents, employees and contractors, nor may Customer assign or otherwise transfer its
2
interest in this Agreement, except that Customer may assign this Agreement without consent
(but with notice to Sentinel promptly after or contemporaneous with such assignment) (i) to
an Affiliate (or may so sublicense to an Affiliate) or (ii) in connection with a merger,
consolidation, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, provided
in each instance that the transferee or sublicense, immediately after such transaction (and
taking into account assets and liabilities acquired through such transaction), shall have
financial resources, in terms of net worth and working capital, at least equal to that of
Customer as of the date of such transfer or sublicense or as of the MSA Effective Date,
whatever shall be greater. Any act in connection of the foregoing shall be deemed ipso
facto null and void.
4) | Insurance; Waiver of Subrogation; SAS 70 Report; Indemnity. |
a) | Customer shall throughout the term hereof maintain commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Space and its occupancy and use of the Property, issued by well-rated insurance companies authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in amounts not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) with, respect to bodily injuries suffered in any one occurrence and not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to property damage. | ||
b) | The insurance required to be carried by Customer pursuant to this License may be carried under a blanket policy, and Customer shall provide to Sentinel, upon the execution of this Agreement and thereafter prior to the expiration of each such policy, evidence of the maintenance of the insurance required pursuant to this Article 4. | ||

Such insurance required to be carried by Sentinel pursuant to this Agreement may be carried under a blanket policy, and Sentinel shall provide to Customer, upon Customer’s written request, evidence of the maintenance of the insurance required pursuant to this Article 4. | ||
d) | Neither Sentinel nor Customer shall have any obligation to insure any property belonging to or in the possession of the other. As to any property insurance carried by Sentinel on the Property where the Space is located, Sentinel shall obtain a waiver of subrogation in favor of Customer. As to any property insurance carried by Customer on its Equipment, Customer shall obtain a waiver of subrogation in favor of Sentinel. Except as set forth in subsection (d) immediately below, neither party shall have any responsibility for any loss or damage to property belonging to or in the possession of the other. | ||

The SAS 70 Report |
3
shall be issued by an accounting firm with a nationally recognized reputation and reasonably satisfactory to Customer (provided that Customer agrees that Wolf & Co. shall be deemed so satisfactory). Following the delivery of the first SAS 70 Report to Customer, Sentinel shall thereafter furnish an SAS 70 Report to Customer on an annual basis. In the event Sentinel fails to deliver to Customer a SAS 70 Report, as required under this subparagraph (e), within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice from Customer of Sentinel’s failure to do so as above provided, then Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Sentinel provided Sentinel shall have failed to deliver such SAS 70 Report within such thirty (30) days. | |||
f) | Subject to the limitations on the liability of each party elsewhere contained in this Agreement, each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) from and against (i) any and all third party claims for loss, cost damage, liability or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way arising out of or related to any breach or alleged breach by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement; or (ii) any negligent act or omission or misconduct of the Indemnifying Party, its employees, or agents. The Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder are contingent on the following conditions: (i) the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party in writing promptly after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of a claim or the possibility thereof; (ii) the Indemnified Party must grant the Indemnifying Party the sole control (but subject to consultation from time to time with the Indemnifying Party) of the settlement compromise, negotiation and defense of any such claim; and (iii) the Indemnified Party must cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and provide the Indemnifying Party with all information related to the claim that is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. |
5) | Interruptions in Service, and Intrusive Testing. |
Sentinel
shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to minimize errors and
interruptions in the Services and to provide advance notice of any unavailability of
Services, even if caused by force majeure. In all events Sentinel’s liability for any
failure of Services shall be limited as elsewhere provided in this
Agreement. Services
may be temporarily unavailable by reason of force majeure or as set forth in Section 13d
hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Customer shall
give Sentinel notice (an “Abatement Notice”) of an Abatement Event (as that term is
defined below), and if such Abatement Event continues thereafter beyond the Eligibility
Period (as that term is defined below), then the Recurring Charges to Customer shall be
abated entirely or proportionately reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the
Eligibility Period for such time that Customer continues to be so prevented from using,
and does not use, the Space, or a portion thereof, for the conduct of any of Customer’s
business. The term “Eligibility Period” shall mean a period of seven (7) consecutive
days after Sentinel’s receipt of any Abatement Notice(s). An “Abatement Event” shall be
defined as an event or circumstance that prevents Customer from using the Space, or a
material portion thereof, as a result of any failure by Sentinel to provide the Services
set forth in Attachment 2, or to have access to the Space needed by Customer to utilize
the Services, even if caused by force majeure. In addition, if an Abatement Event
prevents Customer from using all or substantially all of
4
the Space in a manner consistent with the parameters set forth in this Agreement and the
attachments hereto, and such Abatement Event continues for more than six (6) months after
an Abatement Notice with respect thereto, Customer may terminate this Agreement by thirty
days’ written notice to Sentinel, unless such Abatement Event is cured during such thirty
day period. In addition, at any time during an Abatement Event Customer may request that
Sentinel provide written notice of whether Sentinel has the intention and expectation
that such Abatement Event will be corrected within six (6) months after the original
Abatement Notice with respect thereto. Sentinel shall provide a written response to such
request (an “Assurance Response”) within ten (10) days of such request. If Sentinel does
not deliver to Customer an Assurance Response in such timeframe that indicates that
Sentinel expects that the Abatement Event will be corrected prior to
six (6) months after
the original Abatement Notice with respect thereto, then Customer may terminate this
Agreement by thirty days’ written notice to Sentinel, unless such Abatement Event is
cured during such thirty day period.
6) | Term of Agreement, Termination, and Default. |
a) | This Agreement shall commence on the MSA Effective Date. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement will terminate on the date the last Sales Order then in effect expires or is terminated pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (which will be the date on which the last “License Term” as specified and defined on such last Sales Order expires or is terminated pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement). | ||
b) | If either party shall be in material breach of this Agreement (nonpayment of any money due under an invoice or otherwise hereunder being agreed to be deemed ipso facto a material breach of this Agreement), or if Customer shall be in material breach of any of the rules regulations and procedures set forth in the Occupant Handbook, or if Sentinel shall modify materially the Occupant Handbook in a manner unacceptable to Customer in its reasonable discretion, the other party may terminate (at its discretion) this Agreement as to any or all Space (including all Services associated with that Space) then covered hereunder, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the breaching party unless the breaching party shall cure such breach prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period or, if cure cannot be reasonably achieved within such thirty (30) day period, the breaching party commences cure and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion at all times thereafter (provided, however, that such time period shall be ten (10) days with respect to any failure on the part of Customer to pay any charges hereunder). Termination shall not, however, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, be the sole remedy under this Agreement, and, whether or not termination is effected, except as expressly limited in this Agreement (including the limitations on the liability of Sentinel contained elsewhere in this Agreement), all other remedies will remain available. If the Property becomes the subject of an eminent domain or condemnation action by any authority or person that has such power and if continued operation of the Property for the Permitted Use would thereafter be impractical or impossible, or if Sentinel’s or Customer’s possession or right of access is otherwise terminated or substantially abated, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. Either party may also terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to the other party if (i) the other party becomes the subject of a voluntary petition in |
5
bankruptcy or any voluntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or composition for the benefit of creditors; or (ii) the other party becomes the subject of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or any involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or composition for the benefit of creditors and if such involuntary petition or proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after filing, provided in each case that Customer shall have such right to terminate this Agreement only if as a result of such petition or proceeding the Sentinel Bedford Data Center is no longer able to operate in a manner sufficient to allow Customer to receive the Services or to use the Space for the Permitted Use. | |||
c) | Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to any particular Space, the License and all other rights of Customer with respect to such Space, and the right to receive Services associated with such Space, shall terminate, and Customer agrees to remove the Equipment and any other property belonging to Customer prior to the effective time of such termination. If Customer fails to so remove the Equipment and all such other property Sentinel shall be entitled to pursue all available legal remedies against Customer, including, without limitation, immediately removing the Equipment and all such other property from the Space and storing it at Customer’s expense at an off- site location. At Sentinel’s option, Sentinel may sell the Equipment and other property to cover storage and other expenses if Customer fails to retrieve the Equipment and other property and pay all accrued storage and other expenses within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from Sentinel of the intention of Sentinel to effect such sale. | ||
d) | Should the Space or the Sentinel Bedford Data Center be substantially damaged by fire or other casualty, then Customer or Sentinel may elect to terminate this Agreement, provided that Customer shall not have such right to terminate if Sentinel gives notice of its intention to restore within forty-five (45) days following such fire or casualty and substantially restores the Space to a condition suitable for the Permitted Use within six (6) months after the date of such notice of intent to restore. Customer shall have no obligation to pay any Recurring Charges on a proportionate basis, for any period during which the Space or any portions thereof is not usable by Customer on account of such fire or other casualty. |
7) | Price and Payment Terms. |
a) | Customer shall pay Sentinel recurring monthly charges (hereinafter “Recurring Charges”), and other charges and deposits set forth in each Order, in accordance with Section (b) immediately below. Customer’s obligation to pay Recurring Charges shall commence for any Sales Order as set forth therein. Customer shall also pay Sentinel’s then current charges for any site preparation or other work undertaken by Sentinel pursuant to an Order or otherwise at Customer’s request (“Installation Charges”). | ||
b) | Customer shall pay to Sentinel all Recurring Charges without notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States, in monthly installments in advance on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the applicable term. With respect to all other charges, Customer invoices will be sent by Sentinel monthly and payment shall be due within twenty (20) days of Customer’s receipt of each invoice. Without |
6
intending to derogate from any other remedies available to Sentinel, undisputed amounts past due will incur a finance charge at the rate of 1% per month, or the maximum monthly interest rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, applied to the amount past due. All payments will be made in U.S. dollars. | |||
c) | Customer shall pay directly all taxes, governmental fees, and third-party charges related to the ownership and operation of the Equipment and the activities of Customer at the Sentinel Bedford Data Center, and shall be responsible for the payment, through Sentinel if such be the applicable party, of all taxes and other such charges upon the Recurring Charges and any other charge hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, however. Sentinel agrees that Sentinel shall be responsible for all property and use taxes applicable to the Space and all income taxes relating to amounts paid to Sentinel hereunder. |
8) | Time and Materials Services. |
Should Customer choose to use the time and materials services (described in Attachment 1
hereto or in any Sales Order) offered by Sentinel. Customer shall pay the charges from time to
time in effect for such services, in each case within twenty-seven (27) days of receipt of
Sentinel’s invoice. Sentinel reserves the right to require that Customer sign an additional
agreement relating to such services. The only obligation of Sentinel with respect to such services
shall be to carry out the express instructions of Customer, to the extent agreed to by Sentinel.
In the event that Sentinel fails to correctly carry out any such
instructions of Customer, Customer’s sole remedy shall be to require Sentinel to not charge Customer for the portion of the
service not correctly performed or to correct such work. It is the parties’ intention that this
Agreement shall be a so-called “gross” license except for Recurring Charges and Installation
Charges and Sentinel’s services payable pursuant to Attachments 1 and 2, and this Article 8 and
Article 7 immediately above, and that Customer shall have no obligation to otherwise pay any
additional proration costs or charges for operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance or
other such items.
9) | Representations, Warranties and Limitation of Liability. |
a) | Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or in an Order, Sentinel provides the Space, the Sentinel Bedford Data Center, and the Services strictly on an “as is, as available” basis, and Customer’s use of Data Center Services is at Customer’s own risk. Except as expressly provided herein, Sentinel does not make, and hereby expressly disclaims, any and all warranties, expressed or implied, including but not limited to any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. | ||
b) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither party shall be responsible or liable under or with respect to this Agreement, under any contract, tort, strict liability or other theory, from any cause, (a) for error or interruption of use or for loss or inaccuracy or corruption of data or cost of procurement of services or technology or for relocation expenses or loss of business: (b) for any indirect, exemplary, incidental, special, consequential or other such damages, including, but not limited to, loss of profits: or (c) for any force majeure event, as provided in Section 13d hereof. In all events Sentinel’s total liability for damages to customer for any cause whatsoever, regardless of the form of action, and |
7
whether in contract, tort, strict liability or other theory, from any cause, for any period in which the space is unavailable or cannot be used or any period during which services have not been furnished shall be limited to the Recurring Charges attributable to such monthly period. The provisions of this section 9(b) shall not be deemed to limit either party’s liability for breach of Section 10 or 11 of this Agreement. | |||
c) | Each party represents and warrants to the other that (a) it has obtained all necessary consents, licenses, leases, permits, and other approvals, both governmental and private, as may be necessary to permit it to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (b) it has the full right and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. | ||
d) | Each representative and each other person visiting the Sentinel Bedford Data Center does so at his/her own risk, and Sentinel assumes no liability whatsoever for any harm to such persons resulting from any cause resulting in personal injury to such persons or damage to any property of such persons during such a visit, except to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sentinel or its agents, employees or contractors. | ||
e) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each party’s maximum aggregate liability to the other party for monetary damages related to or in connection with this Agreement shall be limited to the amount of the Recurring Charges paid or payable by Customer to Sentinel hereunder for the then-prior six (6) months, provided that during the first eighteen (18) months of the term of this Agreement such limit shall be the greater of such prior six months’ Recurring Charges or Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00), and provided that in all events such limitation shall not apply to Customer’s obligations to pay Sentinel Recurring Charges and all other charges under this Agreement. Each party’s only other remedies shall be as specifically provided in this Agreement, except that for damages arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a party, such party’s maximum aggregate liability to the other party for monetary damages arising from such gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be the amounts of insurance payable by the insurance carrier(s) on behalf of such party for such damages, provided that such party shall have been carrying at least the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b) above, as applicable. |
10) | Confidential Information. |
a) | Definition. As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” with respect to Customer shall mean any and all non-public information in any form that is proprietary or confidential to Customer or Customer’s clients, and for which such non-public and proprietary or confidential status has been communicated to Sentinel in writing or which, under the circumstances taken as a whole, would reasonably be deemed to be confidential, including without limitation all information regarding the Equipment and all information stored in or transmitted through the Equipment.

Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties shall use at least the same procedures and degree of care which it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party under this Agreement, but in no event less than reasonable care. | ||

Attachment 2
Service Level Agreement
This Service Level Agreement (sometimes hereinafter “SLA”) is attached to and forms part of that
certain Master Services Agreement (sometimes hereinafter the “License”) dated as of July 19, 2007,
by and between Constant Contact, Inc. (“Customer”) and Sentinel Properties — Bedford, LLC
(“Sentinel”). Unless defined herein, all capitalized terms in this SLA are defined in the License
or exhibits thereto. Pursuant to the License. Sentinel is licensing to Customer the Space at the
Sentinel Bedford Data Center, and in connection therewith will be providing services to Customer in
order to support Customer’s use of the Space. This SLA establishes standards for the provision of
certain services by Sentinel, and also provides for Customer to receive a credit against certain
fees payable by Customer under the License in certain situations.
1. Power
If a cabinet containing functioning computer or networking equipment (a “Loaded Cabinet”) in the
Space is powered by two (2) different power distribution units and both units experience a
simultaneous interruption in electrical power, such that such Loaded Cabinet experiences an
interruption in power (a “Power Outage”) which lasts longer than five (5) consecutive seconds but
shorter than one (1) continuous hour, Sentinel shall credit to Customer’s account the Cabinet
Charges (hereinafter defined) attributable to such Loaded Cabinet, and all other Loaded Cabinets
which are not fully functional as a result of the unavailability of the Loaded Cabinet that
suffered such Power Outage, for the day during which such
interruption occurs. “Cabinet Charges”
shall be defined as the Recurring Charges payable for a given month divided by the number of
Loaded Cabinets in the Space at the time of the outage. If a Loaded Cabinet in the Space is
powered by two different power distribution units and both units experience a simultaneous
interruption in electrical power such that such Loaded Cabinet experiences a Power Outage which
lasts for one (1) continuous hour or longer, Sentinel shall credit Customer’s account the Cabinet
Charges attributable to that Loaded Cabinet and all other Loaded Cabinets which are not fully
functional as a result of the unavailability of the Loaded Cabinet that suffered such Power
Outage, for the calendar week during which such interruption occurs.
2. Cooling and Humidity
The Space is designed to provide a target operating temperature of an average of 72 degrees
Fahrenheit (at the intake side of properly positioned computing equipment) and relative humidity
ranging from 35 to 65 percent (near the intakes of on-floor air handlers), provided Customer has
properly spaced and configured computing hardware and loaded and balanced power distribution
equipment. Under normal operating conditions, when there is no indication of individual server or
rack temperature conditions, temperature and humidity will be monitored by Sentinel in more than
one location in the Space to ensure compliance with the targeted operating ranges.
SLA Measurement and Credit:
Upon recognition of a heat condition affecting devices in a specific area, Customer may request
specific measurement of temperature and/or humidity in that area. Sentinel shall then place probes
in the affected area. For purposes of this SLA, the temperature will be measured between four (4)
and five (5) feet from the floor and twelve (12) inches to fourteen (14) inches from the cool air
intake side of a cabinet. For this purpose, the temperature reading shall be an average of the
temperature across five contiguous cabinets.
23
Humidity will be measured near the air return intake of the air handler units closest to the
measured cabinets.
(i) Temperature
If the temperature as measured above exceeds 80 degrees Fahrenheit for more than fifteen (15)
consecutive minutes and causes (i) a material degradation in the
operation of Customer’s equipment,
(ii) Customer’s equipment to fail, or (iii) Customer to shut down the equipment (a
“Temperature Irregularity”) any time during a calendar month, Sentinel shall credit
Customer’s account the Recurring Charges attributable to the calendar week during which the last
Temperature Irregularity shall have occurred.
(ii) Humidity
If the humidity inside the Space drops below 35 percent or exceeds 65 percent of the targeted operating
range for more than fifteen (15) consecutive minutes (a “Humidity Irregularity”) two (2) times
during a calendar month, Sentinel shall credit to Customer’s account the Recurring Charges
attributable to the calendar week during which the last Humidity Irregularity shall have occurred.
3. Credits
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this SLA, the maximum aggregate credit to
which Customer shall be entitled pursuant to this SLA in a calendar year shall not exceed three
months’ Recurring Charges.
With respect to the standards and penalties set forth herein relating to electrical power and
temperature and humidity, penalties shall not be incurred during any periods in which Sentinel is
performing normal and customary maintenance on equipment serving Customer’s Space, all of which
shall be conducted between the hours of 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM EST, or otherwise during so-called
“off hours.”
Exceptions and Conditions
Sentinel shall exercise reasonable efforts to ensure service level commitments are met; however,
nothing contained in this SLA or in the License shall be construed to constitute a service level
guarantee with respect to acts outside of Sentinel’s reasonable control.
In addition, Sentinel’s service level commitments stated herein shall not apply if Sentinel’s
failure to meet the standards set forth in this SLA (a) results from any actions or inactions of
Customer or its employees, agents, representatives or guests; or (b) results from Customer’s
Property or improper or imprudent placement of Customer’s Property.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that except for the termination rights granted to Customer in the
MSA or this SLA, the service level credits under this SLA are Customer’s sole and exclusive
remedy in the event of Sentinel failure to meet the service level commitments set forth in this
SLA or elsewhere in the
MSA.
4. Notification
Credit will be given as provided above only if Customer notifies Sentinel in writing not later
than one (1) week after the occurrence of the event entitling Customer to a credit. Unless
otherwise designated by Sentinel, Sentinel can be reached as indicated in Section 1 of the
Occupant Handbook.
24
5. Major Outages
If three (3) or more Major Outages (as defined below) shall occur in any three (3) month period,
then Customer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sentinel at any time within ninety
(90) days after the third such Major Outage, which termination shall be effective thirty (30) days
after receipt of notice thereof by Sentinel. A “Major Outage” shall mean any Power Outage that
lasts for at least ten (10) consecutive minutes and/or any Temperature Irregularity, in each case
causing inoperability of Customer’s Equipment.
If any single Major Outage shall continue for three days (a “Prolonged Major Outage”), such
Prolonged Major Outage shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 5 to be one additional Major
Outage, and each subsequent three day’s duration of a Prolonged Major Outage shall be deemed an
additional Major Outage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no single Major Outage, regardless of its
duration, shall be deemed a Prolonged Major Outage if Sentinel is using its commercially
reasonable efforts to remedy such outage and in so doing is acting in a manner consistent with
that of an operator of mission critical data centers. In addition, Sentinel agrees to provide
twice daily progress reports on the restoration of service efforts during any Major Outage until
such service is restored.
