By virtue of this Agreement, the LESSOR leases to the LESSEE, who accepts, a Property described in the They State section I, which the LESSEE states that it knows and accepts, accepts, in its current physical, building, legal, administrative, development and land registry status.
The LESSEE acknowledges that it receives the Property and its installations and services in good conditions of use and in a good state of repair.
The LESSEE will use the Property mainly for the specific activities of its corporate purpose, and particularly for the installation, operation and maintenance of data processing centres (DPC). It may also use the Property for complementary uses to the core activity provided that any such use does not involve a greater percentage than that of the core activity and that the clients to whom any such services are rendered are also clients of the LESSEE’s core activity.
As it is not a question of covering a permanent housing need of the LESSEE and the other people stated in Article 7 of the Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos [Law of Urban Leasings], this agreement is excluded from the system of protection established in titles I and II of the aforementioned Law, and is governed, pursuant to Article 4 of aforementioned Law, by the provisions of this Agreement, by the provisions of Title III of the aforementioned Law, in terms of the Articles whose application has not been expressly excluded in the conditions of this document or do not contradict the provisions of this Agreement, and subsidarily, by the provisions of the Civil Code.
Third.- Term of the Agreement
3.1. The Leasing Agreement will take effect as of its signature, on October 10, 2011 (the “Start Date”), and will have an Obligatory Compliance Period of fifteen (15) years as of the aforementioned date of October 10, 2011, until October 9, 2026.
3.2. Following the expiration of the Agreement because the Obligatory Compliance Period of fifteen (15) years has elapsed, this Agreement will be automatically discharged.
3.3. If for any reason the LESSEE decided to abandon this Agreement or vacate or were obliged to vacate the Property before the fifteen (15) years of Obligatory Compliance have elapsed, it must pay the LESSOR the amount equivalent to the rent that would remain until the fifteenth year, taking into account, for the aforementioned calculation, that the updated rent for each annual period will be that which results from the application of the increases agreed to in this Agreement, until the end of the term of fifteen years, by way of damages which such an early discharge causes the LESSOR.
The indemnities provided for in this agreement will be added to the amount resulting from the provisions of the previous paragraph if the Work established in this Agreement has not been completed pursuant the Work Execution Project and to the corresponding administrative licence, without prejudice to other indemnities and amounts established in this Agreement in the event of non-fulfilment.
Fourth.- Delivery of the Property
4.1. Without prejudice to the enforceability of the Agreement as of its signature, the LESSEE authorises the LESSOR to maintain and use the Property for a term of (30) thirty days, at no charge to the LESSOR, during which term the LESSEE may not use the Property without the LESSOR’s express authorisation. After the aforementioned term of (30) thirty days has elapsed, the LESSEE will have full possession of the Property.
4.2. On the date it deems fitting within the aforementioned term of (30) thirty days, the LESSOR will deliver the building on the Property, and particularly the warehouse of the aforementioned building, with no fixed, mobile or anchored shelves.
Fifth.- Economic Conditions
5.1. RENT.- The rent agreed to in the leasing which is the object of this agreement will consist of:
For the first annual leasing period, from October 10, 2011 until October 9, 2012, the amount of * * *.
For the second annual leasing period, or in other words, from October 10, 2012 until October 9, 2013, the amount of * * *.
As of the third annual leasing period, i.e. from October 10, 2013 and thereafter, the amount of * * *, to be revised annually pursuant to the provisions of clause 5.6 of this agreement.
The aforementioned amounts refer exclusively to the price of the leasing and do not include taxes or expenses.
5.2. Value Added Tax (VAT) and/or other Taxes
This leasing is subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) and/or to any tax that may be levied on the leasing throughout the term of this Agreement, and consequently the total amount of each one of the successive rental invoices must accrue, according to the legal rate applicable at all times, and automatically, the corresponding amount of the aforementioned tax, which will be stated separately from the rest of the items on the corresponding invoice.
5.3. Payment of the Rent
Payment of the rent and other concepts which in accordance with the Law and the clauses of this Agreement may be charged to or paid by the LESSEE, will be made by means of bank transfer to CHAINCO INVESTMENTS COMPANY, S.L. into the Caixabank no. account 2100-2138-15-0200438756, which to this end is indicated in this act by the LESSOR.
The rent will be paid by the LESSEE to the LESSOR in twelve monthly payments, paid one month in advance, within the first FIVE (5) days of each month, plus the corresponding VAT.
The LESSOR will be obliged to issue, on a monthly basis, to the LESSEE, the corresponding invoices for the amounts resulting from the provisions of this clause. In no case will failure to deliver an invoice constitute an excuse for non-payment of the rent by the LESSEE.
In this act, the LESSEE delivers to the LESSOR, as the first rent from the Start Date of this Leasing Agreement until October 31, 2011, the amount of * * *, by means of the nominal promissory note no. 6.075.722-0 8201-4 of the CaixaBank bank. The LESSOR receives the aforementioned cheque subject to it being credited to the account, granting, in this act, the firmest and most efficient letter of payment for the aforementioned amount.
5.4. Exemption from withholding of the LESSEE
This agreement will be subject to withholding in each payment of the monthly rent agreed to according to the applicable legislation. Nevertheless, when the law envisages exemption from making the withholding, the LESSEE will make no withholding if the corresponding legislative requirements are met. When the withholding exemption requires a certificate that should be sent by the LESSOR to the LESSEE, the latter will make no withholding as of the moment the aforementioned certificate is made available to it. The LESSEE delivers to the LESSOR in this act, attaching it to this contract, copy of the certificate issued by the Tax Authorities Exempting Lessors from making the Withholding.
5.5. Delay and non-payment of the Rent
Any delay in the payment of the rent will lead to a surcharge on the interests payable by the LESSOR at a variable annual rate that will be the result of applying, the interest rate on the Interbank market published by the Bank of Spain at the time of the non-fulfilment of the payment plus a ten percent (10%) increase during the first thirty days, and twenty percent (20%) as of day 31 of the non-payment and until total payment of the proper rent owing, besides all other expenses produced, without prejudice to the LESSOR being entitled to instigate eviction procedure due to lack of payment as of day sixty-one (61) as of the first day of the month of non-payment of the rent.
Non-fulfilment by the LESSEE of the obligation to pay the rent in the time, place and form established in this Agreement will entitle the LESSOR to demand termination of this leasing agreement and commence eviction proceedings as provided for by this Agreement.
5.6. Update of the Rent
5.6.1. The rent agreed to in clause 5.1 above will be updated as of the beginning of the fourth year (October 10, 2014) of accrual of the leasing on the date of the end of each year of the term, and throughout the term of the agreement in accordance with the percentage variation in the consumer price index (hereinafter, the CPI), in the twelve (12) months before the update in accordance with the data published for this purpose by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) or any organisation that replaces it, without, in any case, the increase in the rent being lower than three per cent (3%) a year.
To this end, and for the provisions of the following points referenced to the CPI, the initial index taken for the revision will be the index published by the INE on the effective date of the period being revised, and the final index taken will be the last one published before the expiration of the period being revised, and so on for each annual review.
If at the time of the update the aforementioned definitive indexes had not been published, the provisional index established by the INE will be applied, and once the definitive index is known, the corresponding settlement will be made taking into account the date the new rent became applicable, and the corresponding balance will be paid to the LESSOR or LESSEE.
5.6.2. Without prejudice to the agreement made for the annual update of the rent in accordance with the evolution of the CPI, the parties agree to exclude the application of the aforementioned update in the calendar years corresponding to the (6) sixth and (11) eleventh years, when, instead of the annual rate in force being updated according to the CPI, a percentage increase of (6%) six per cent will be applied.
5.6.3. The variations in the rent derived from the revision agreed to in this clause will be added to the rent of this Agreement and will therefore be part of the basis for successive revisions which will be carried out pursuant to the provisions of this clause.
Sixth.- Conditions for return of the Property
6.1. On termination of the leasing, regardless of the cause, the LESSEE must vacate the Property and, on request by the LESSOR, return it to it, in good conditions of operation, conservation and maintenance, barring the wear produced by the normal use thereof and by the passing of time, or if the LESSOR chooses the total or partial demolition of the property, and/or total or partial removal of all kinds of equipment, installations and rubbish, the LESSEE will be responsible for all expenses and activities involved in the aforementioned demolition, removal and rubbish disposal, including all types of rates, taxes and licences needed to do so, technical fees, and all expenses for the removal of waste, goods, installations and rubbish to authorised landfills, leaving the Property free of any charges, encumbrances, obligations and debts that INTERXION ESPAÑA, S.A.U. has to satisfy in accordance with this Agreement or with the legal ordinance, returning the keys and possession of the property to the LESSOR on the day the Agreement terminates.

If on termination of the leasing period, and following the term agreed to by the PARTIES for the LESSOR to execute the option of demolition, removal of equipment or recovery of the Property, the LESSOR has not received the Property in the terms and conditions expounded above, as for any other case in which the LESSOR has to recover the effective possession of the property pursuant to the Law or this Agreement, the LESSOR will be entitled to receive from the LESSEE an indemnity equivalent to 150% of the applicable daily rent at the time of the non-fulfilment per day of delay in the delivery of the Property over the first thirty (30) days, which will be 200% for up to sixty (60) days and 300% as of day sixty-one (61), until the date the LESSOR recovers effective possession of the Property in the conditions agreed to herein, and all without prejudice to the LESSOR being entitled to avail itself of the other rights and actions provided for in the Law and/or in this Agreement to obtain the delivery of the Property and, as the case may be, collection of the relevant indemnity, and the fulfilment, as the case may be, of the total or partial demolition or total or partial removal of the equipment and installations from the building in the Property, with all the expenses incurred in all the above actions to be met by the LESSEE.
Seventh.- Work
7.1. Building adaptation work.
7.1.1. For the LESSEE, the core purpose of the leasing is to have, in the leased Property, a building with the requirements and installations it needs to carry on its activity.
To this end, the LESSOR authorises the LESSEE, throughout the term of this Agreement, to perform, entirely on its own account and its own expense and in accordance with this Agreement, any work on the Property required to adapt it to the purposes listed in the second clause, and any work deemed necessary and/or convenient for the development of its activity at all times, or any Other Work that is necessary or legally required, provided that in all cases the resulting building observes all the legislation and regulations required by the corresponding organisms and all the mandatory technical and city-planning legislation for building and for the activity carried on, as well as the industrial and safety legislation in force regulating the plot of land where they are located, at no time exceeding the plot’s buildability limit.
7.1.2.

The LESSEE will be responsible for all the technical projects required for the demolition and the cost of the demolition and the relocation of rubbish and disposal in authorised landfills, as well as the formalities required to obtain them.
The LESSEE will be entirely responsible for all damage that may be caused to third parties as a result of the execution of demolition, clearing away and waste disposal work. To this end, the LESSEE will take out a public liability insurance policy that will expressly cover this risk.
All the formalities, risks and expenses required to comply with this Agreement will fall to the LESSEE.
7.1.3. The LESSEE undertakes to deliver a copy to the LESSOR, before the execution of the Major Work involved in the construction of a new building and/or which requires some type of Major Work licence, of the basic and execution projects and all the modifications, duly signed by the architect and approved by the competent authorities, the planning of the work, as well as all the licences and all the permits that authorise the work and the activity, the payment of settlements and fees derived from these licences, as well the Site Safety and Occupational Health Plan, the approval of the Safety and Health Plan by the Safety and Health Coordinator, the opening of the work centre in the name of the builder.

In this case the LESSEE will meet all the costs and risks required to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.
The LESSOR may, having considered the project submitted or the execution of the works derived from it, insist that it fulfil all the city-development related legislation and regulations of the competent authorities applicable to the Required Work and/or be modified to guarantee the safety and stability of the Building.

As the LESSEE is responsible for the implementation of the Major Work and/or Required Work on the Property, in no case will the lack of execution of the work or the loss of licences or authorisations for the activity or the sealing or closure of the installation or the premises due to the lack of implementation of the aforementioned Major Work and/or Required Work constitute grounds for the termination of this Agreement.
7.1.5. In any case, and for the implementation of any Major Work and/or the Required Work, the LESSEE, besides the request for consent to be sent to the LESSOR, will deliver a technical project, and, if necessary, which complies with the applicable regulations and is duly approved by the Official College of Architects.
