Additionally, provided that Landlord is working diligently using commercially reasonable efforts after the Commencement Date to complete the Card Reader Installation, Landlord shall not be in default of its obligation to complete the Card Reader Installation. Landlord agrees to deliver the Card Reader Completion Notice to Tenant upon Landlord’s completion of the Card Reader Installation.
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 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 remuneration to Landlord in consideration of the costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the New Pathway-B Installation and the New Pathway-C Installation 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.
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-
3.5 Utilities. Tenant shall be billed directly by Landlord as Additional Rent for the costs of Aggregate Direct Electric Loads in a manner consistent in all material respects with the then manner of billing for electrical service provided by the local electric utility company and in accordance with the then applicable pricing structures and rate schedules as filed by such utility with the applicable governmental authority from time to time.
3.5.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Metering Equipment – Tenant Space in installed in such a manner so as to not capture Systems Efficiency Losses, Landlord shall have a right to add an amount reasonably determined by landlord to Tenant’s Aggregate Direct Electric Loads sufficient to compensate Landlord for actual System Efficiency Losses attributable to Tenant’s Aggregate Direct Electric Loads.
3.5.2 Tenant shall pay a proportionate share of all Ancillary Utility Costs, which proportionate share shall be a fraction expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which shall be Tenant’s Aggregate Direct Electric Loads and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the Aggregate Direct Electric Loads for all of the tenants then operating in the Building.
3.5.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord reasonably determines that the method of calculating Aggregate Direct Electric Loads, System Efficiency Losses and/or Ancillary Utility Costs is inadequate to capture the costs related to same that should otherwise be attributable to the Tenant Space, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on a different formula/calculation, as necessary, to appropriately capture such costs. Additionally, in the event that Landlord determines that it is no longer commercially impractical to separately meter some or all of Unmetered Direct Electric Loads, System Efficiency Losses and/or Ancillary Utility Costs, then Landlord may cause the equipment related to the foregoing to be separately metered to the Tenant Space at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. In either event, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease reflecting such modification. 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.
3.5.4 Generator Fuel Usage. Additionally, and except to the extent that Generator Fuel Usage represents Maintenance Fuel Usage, Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of the cost of all Generator Fuel, which proportionate share shall be a fraction expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which shall be Tenant’s Aggregate Direct Electric Loads and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the Aggregate Direct Electric Loads for all of the tenant then operating in the Building. 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 3.5.4 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.
3.5.5 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
-4-
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.

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.
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
-10-
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.
9.2 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.
9.3 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.
9.3.1 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.
9.4 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 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.
-11-
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 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 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 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-
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.
13.1.1 Surrender of Suite 1.5 Tenant Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no later than the Suite 1.5 Expiration Date, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 13 and Section 8.4, quit and surrender possession of the Suite 1.5 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 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-
13.3.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Tenant remain in possession of all or any portion of the Suite 1.5 Tenant Space after the expiration of the Suite 1.5 Term, without the execution by Landlord and Tenant of an amendment to this Lease to permit otherwise, then Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Suite 1.5 Tenant Space as a tenant-at-sufferance, upon all the terms contained herein, except as to term and Suite 1.5 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 Suite 1.5 Base Rent in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Suite 1.5 Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the last month of the Suite 1.5 Term and one hundred percent (100%) of the Additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord, with respect to Suite 1.5, during the last month of Suite 1.5 Term. 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 Suite 1.5 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 Suite 1.5 Tenant Space upon the expiration of the Suite 1.5 Term or upon the earlier termination thereof or at any time during any holdover and the right to assert any remedy at law or in equity to evict Tenant from Suite 1.5 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.

14.2.1.1 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 negligence or willful misconduct of any member of the Landlord Group.
14.2.1.2 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 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 upon notice from Tenant shall defend such action or proceeding at Landlord’s cost and expense by counsel reasonably approved by Tenant.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

17.15 No Partnership or Joint Venture; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed to create the relationship of principal and agent, or partnership, or joint venturer, or any other relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than landlord and tenant.

MASSACHUSETTS STATE LAW PROVISIONS
1. REMEDIES FOR EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
1.1 Landlord’s Right to Terminate Upon Tenant Default. This Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted and the demise hereby made are subject to the limitation that if and whenever any Event of Default shall occur, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, in addition to all other rights and remedies given hereunder or by law or equity, do any one or more of the following without notice or demand other than a notice to quit, any such notice or demand being hereby waived other than a notice to quit:
1.1.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Tenant Space to Landlord.
1.1.2 Enter upon and take possession of the Tenant Space and expel or remove Tenant and any other occupant therefrom, with or without having terminated this Lease.
1.1.3 Alter locks and other security devices at the Tenant Space.
1.1.4 Terminate any and all agreements, subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant, with Landlord or with third parties, and affecting the Tenant Space or any part of the Meet-Me Room or the Building.
1.2 No Surrender or Merger. Exercise by Landlord of any one or more remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of all or any part of the Tenant Space by Tenant, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. No such alteration of security devices and no removal or other exercise of dominion by Landlord over the property of Tenant or others on or about the Tenant Space shall be deemed unauthorized or constitute a conversion, Tenant hereby consenting, after any termination of this Lease or entry for possession following delivery of a notice to quit from Landlord to Tenant, to the aforesaid exercise of dominion over Tenant’s property within the Building. All claims for damages by reason of such re-entry and/or possession and/or alteration of locks or other security devices are hereby waived, as are all claims for damages by reason of any distress warrant, forcible detainer proceedings, sequestration proceedings or other legal process. Tenant agrees that any re-entry by Landlord may be pursuant to judgment obtained in forcible detainer proceedings or other legal proceedings or without the necessity for any legal proceedings, as Landlord may elect, and Landlord shall not be liable in trespass or otherwise.
1.3 Damages Upon Default. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease by reason of an Event of Default, then, notwithstanding such termination, Landlord may hold Tenant liable for all rental and other indebtedness accrued to the date of such termination, plus, at Landlord’s election, either:
(i) such rental and other indebtedness as would otherwise have been required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the period following termination of the Term of this Lease measured from the date of such termination by Landlord until the expiration of the Term of this Lease (had Landlord not elected to terminate this Lease on account of such Event of Default) diminished by any net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting the Tenant Space during said period (after deducting expenses incurred by Landlord as provided in Section 1.5 below), or
(ii) the amount (discounted to present value) by which, at the time of the termination of this Lease (or at any time thereafter if Landlord shall have initially elected damages under clause (i) above), (x) the aggregate of the rent and other charges projected over the period
-1-
commencing with such termination and ending on the last day as of which the Term of the Lease would have expired, but for such Event of Default, exceeds (ii) the aggregate projected market rental value (including other charges) for the Tenant Space for such period.
Actions to collect amounts due by Tenant provided for in clause (i) of this Section 1.3 may be brought from time to time by Landlord during the aforesaid period, on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Landlord’s waiting until the expiration of such period, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess of rental (or rental plus other sums) obtained by reletting over and above the rental provided for in this Lease.
1.4 Repossession of Tenant Space. If Landlord elects to repossess the Tenant Space without terminating this Lease, Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord all rental and other indebtedness accrued to the date of such repossession, plus Rent required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the remainder of the Term of this Lease until the expiration of the Term of this Lease, diminished by any net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting the Tenant Space during said period (after deducting expenses incurred by Landlord as provided in Section 1.5 below). In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess of any rental obtained by reletting over and above the rental herein reserved. Actions to collect amounts due by Tenant as provided in this Section 1.4 may be brought from time to time, on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Landlord’s waiting until the expiration of the Term of this Lease.
1.5 Landlord’s Expenses. Upon an Event of Default, Tenant shall also be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, in addition to any sum provided to be paid pursuant to this Lease: (i) the reasonable costs and expenses of securing new tenants, including expenses for refixturing, alterations and other costs in connection with preparing the Tenant Space for the new tenant and any reasonable or necessary alterations, (ii) the cost of removing and storing Tenant’s or other occupant’s property, and (iii) all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing Landlord’s remedies, including actual attorneys’ fees. Past due rental and other past due payments shall bear interest from maturity at the Default Rate (as defined in Section 3.5 of this Lease) until paid.
1.6 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.
1.7 Reletting. Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the Tenant Space after Tenant vacates the Tenant Space in the event that the Lease is terminated following an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder. Marketing of the Tenant Space in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord markets other premises within Landlord’s control in the Building shall be deemed to have satisfied Landlord’s obligation to use “reasonable efforts.” If such waiver is not effective under then applicable law or if Landlord otherwise elects, at Landlord’s sole option, to attempt to relet all or any part of the Tenant Space, Tenant agrees that, in any event, Landlord has no obligation to: (i) relet the Tenant Space prior to leasing any other space within the Building; or (ii) relet the Tenant Space (A) at a rental rate or otherwise on terms below market, as then determined by Landlord in its sole discretion; (B) to any entity not satisfying Landlord’s then standard financial credit risk criteria; (C) for a use (1) not consistent with Tenant’s use prior to default; (2) which would violate then applicable law or any restrictive covenant or other lease affecting the Building; (3) which would impose a greater burden upon the Building’s facilities; or (4) which would involve any use of Hazardous Materials not in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements; (iii) solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Tenant Space until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Tenant Space, including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to re-let the Tenant Space free of any claim of Tenant; or (iv) make any alterations to the Tenant Space or the Building or otherwise incur any costs in connection with any such reletting, unless Tenant unconditionally delivers to Landlord, in good and sufficient funds, the full amount thereof in advance.

1.8 Landlord’s Right to Cure. All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If Tenant should fail to make any payment (other than Base Rent) or cure any default hereunder within the time herein permitted, Landlord, without being under any obligation to do so, without thereby waiving such default and in addition to and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Landlord, may make such payment and/or remedy such other default for the account of Tenant (and enter the Tenant Space for such purpose), and thereupon Tenant shall be obligated to, and hereby agrees to, pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days following Landlord’s demand therefor, all costs, expenses and disbursements (including actual attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in taking such remedial action, plus an administrative fee of ten percent (10%) of such amount.
2. CALCULATION OF CHARGES. Landlord and Tenant are knowledgeable and experienced in commercial transactions and agree that the provisions set forth in this Lease for determining charges, amounts and additional rent payable by Tenant (including, without limitation, payments under Section 3.4) are commercially reasonable and valid even though such methods may not state a precise mathematical formula for determining such charges.

3. | Termination Rights. |
A. Continuous Outage Termination Right. In the event of a Continuous Outage, Tenant may terminate this Lease by timely delivery of the Continuous Outage Termination Notice to Landlord. Tenant’s failure to timely deliver Tenant’s Continuous Outage Termination Notice shall automatically extinguish Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease with respect to that particular Continuous Outage.

B. Chronic Outage Termination Right. In the event of a Chronic Outage, Tenant may terminate this Lease by timely delivery of the Chronic Outage Termination Notice to Landlord. Tenant’s failure to timely deliver Tenant’s Chronic Outage Termination Notice shall automatically extinguish Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease with respect to that particular Chronic Outage. For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease under this Section 3.B applies to the entire Tenant Space, and does not apply individually to the Suite in which the Chronic Outage occurred.

STANDARD RIDER PROVISIONS
1. OS TENANT SPACE.
1.1 OS Tenant Space. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Rider, the Lease is hereby modified to reflect that Landlord does hereby lease, demise and let unto Tenant and Tenant does hereby lease from Landlord the OS Tenant Space, to have and to hold for the OS Rider Term.
1.2 Condition of OS Tenant Space. Tenant agrees that, subject to Landlord’s completion of Landlord’s OS Installations, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the OS Tenant Space in its “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition on the OS Commencement Date. Except for Landlord’s OS Installations, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work in the OS Tenant Space (including, without limitation, demolition of any improvements existing therein or construction of any tenant finish-work or other improvements therein), and Landlord shall not be obligated to reimburse Tenant or provide an allowance for any costs related to the demolition or construction of improvements therein. Tenant acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth herein, no representation or warranty (express or implied) has been made by Landlord as to the condition of the OS Tenant Space or its suitability or fitness for Tenant’s intended purpose.
1.3 Delivery of OS Tenant Space. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Landlord’s OS Installations to be completed prior to the OS Commencement Date. In the event, however, that Landlord’s OS Installations have not been completed by the OS Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be deemed in default hereunder, provided that Landlord is working diligently using commercially reasonable efforts after the OS Commencement Date to complete the installation of Landlord’s OS Installations.
1.4 Rights Reserved to Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to relocate the OS Tenant Space to some other space of Landlord’s choosing of approximately the same dimensions and size within the Building without effecting an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession or giving rise to any claim for setoffs or abatement of OS Base Rent due under this Rider; provided, however, that if Landlord exercises Landlord’s option to remove and relocate Tenant in the New OS Tenant Space, then Tenant shall be required to pay the same per square foot rates of OS Base Rent, as is represented in this Rider. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to relieve Tenant, or imply that Tenant is relieved, of the liability for or obligation to pay any additional rental due by reason of any of the other provisions of this Rider, which provisions shall be applied to the New OS Tenant Space. Tenant agrees that Landlord’s exercise of Landlord’s option to remove and relocate Tenant shall not terminate the Lease or this Rider or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant’s obligation to pay the rental and perform the covenants and agreements hereunder for the full OS Rider Term. In the event of any such relocation, this Rider shall continue in full force and effect with no change in the terms, covenants or conditions hereof other than the substitution of the New OS Tenant Space for the OS Tenant Space. Upon request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Rider reflecting the aforesaid change. Landlord agrees that the New OS Tenant Space shall be decorated by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to use such decorations and materials from the OS Tenant Space, or other materials, so that the New OS Tenant Space shall be comparable in its interior design and decoration to the OS Tenant Space. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such relocation or reconfiguration in a manner that minimizes to the extent practical any interruption or adverse effect on Tenant’s operations in the OS Tenant Space. Landlord shall provide Tenant no less than thirty (30) calendar days’ prior notice of all such relocations or reconfigurations. Following receipt of such notice, if said relocation or reconfiguration requires the movement of any of Tenant’s equipment or property, Tenant shall relocate Tenant’s equipment or property to the new location within the Building which is designated by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all of the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Tenant in so relocating its equipment or property. Tenant’s right to reimbursement to the extent provided above in this Section 1.4 shall be Tenant’s sole remedy in the event Landlord elects to relocate the OS Tenant Space, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any additional compensation or damages for loss of, or interference with, Tenant’s business or use or access of all or any part of the OS Tenant Space resulting from such relocation.
-1-
2. OS RIDER TERM. The term of this Rider, and Tenant’s obligation to pay OS Base Rent and other sums due under this Rider, if any, shall commence on the OS Commencement Date and shall continue in effect for the OS Rider Term, unless this Rider is earlier terminated as provided herein.

3.4. Intentionally Deleted.
3.5. Electrical Power.
3.5.1 Landlord shall furnish electricity to the OS Tenant Space in the amount of the OS Electricity Consumption Threshold set forth in Item 11 of the Basic Rider Information of this Rider. The obligation of Landlord to provide electricity to the OS Tenant Space shall be subject to the rules, regulations and requirements of the supplier of such electricity and of any governmental authorities regulating providers of electricity and shall be limited to providing the OS Electricity Consumption Threshold. Landlord shall have no responsibility to provide Back-Up Power for use in the OS Tenant Space.
3.5.2 Electricity Provided. Tenant’s electricity consumption for the OS Tenant Space is included in the OS Base Rent set forth in Item 6 of the Basic Rider Information.
3.6. OS Electricity Consumption Threshold. Tenant’s actual electricity consumption for the OS Tenant Space, 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 the OS Electrical Metering Equipment and/or pulse meters, electrical surveys and/or engineer’s estimates), shall not at any time, exceed the OS Electricity Consumption Threshold.

Tenant acknowledges that such service and temperature may be subject to change by local, county, state or federal regulation. Whenever machines or equipment that generate abnormal heat are used in the OS Tenant Space which affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system, Landlord shall have the right to install supplemental air conditioning in the OS Tenant Space, and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation, use and maintenance, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent upon demand.
(2) Water at those points of supply provided for general use.

4.4 Interruption of Services. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss, damage or expense of any type which Tenant may sustain or incur if the quantity or character of the utility provided electric service to the OS Tenant Space is changed, is no longer available, or is no longer suitable for Tenant’s requirements. No interruption or malfunction of any electrical or other service (including, without limitation, HVAC) to the OS Tenant Space (or to any other portion of the Building or Property) shall, in any event, (i) constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the OS Tenant Space, (ii) constitute a breach by Landlord of any of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease or this Rider, (iii) render Landlord liable for damages of any type or entitle Tenant to be relieved from any of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease or this Rider (including the obligation to pay OS Base Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges), (iv) grant Tenant any right of setoff or recoupment, (v) provide Tenant with any right to terminate the Lease or this Rider, or (vi) make Landlord liable for any injury to or
-3-

In the event of any interruption, however, Landlord shall employ commercially reasonable efforts to restore such service or cause the same to be restored in any circumstances in which such restoration is within the reasonable control of Landlord.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.A., the Term, as it relates to Xxxxx 000 xxx Xxxxx 000 (subject to Tenant’s Suite 409 Extension Option, described below), shall expire in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 1 of this Amendment, above.
-3-
B. Amended Extension Options. Currently, pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Lease, Tenant has two (2) Extension Options, each to extend the Term for an Extension Term of sixty (60) months.

C. Suite 409 Extension Option. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Term, as it relates to Suite 409, will expire prior to the 2A Expiration Date, pursuant to, and subject to the terms of, Section 1. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that Tenant shall have the right (the “Suite 409 Extension Option”) to extend the Term, as it relates to Suite 409, for an extension term period to be defined by Tenant and which shall be no less than one (1) year (the “Suite 409 Extension Term”), commencing on July 1, 2018 and continuing until such expiration date defined by Tenant in Tenant’s notice to Landlord, such that the Suite 409 Extension Term shall be no less than one (1) year and no longer than the Term of the Lease (as extended from time to time).

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 the first year of the Extension Term shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then-current market rate then being charged by Landlord for comparable space in the Building taking into consideration the 3% annual base rent increase as set forth below, and by other landlords for extensions of leasehold interests for comparable space in comparable datacenter facilities located in the city in which the Building is located, if any, taking into consideration the quality, size, utility and location thereof, the length of the extension term, the credit standing of Tenant, any Tenant concessions being offered in the market for comparable extensions, the amenities provided to Tenant and the quality of the landlord as a first-class datacenter improvements operator (the “Fair Market Rent”); provided, however, that, once the Base Rent has been determined in accordance with this Section 2.3 with regard to the first year of an Extension Term, the monthly Base Rent for each subsequent year of such Extension Term shall be increased hereunder as of the first (1st) day of each such subsequent year to be equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the scheduled monthly Base Rent for the immediately preceding year of such Extension Term.
2.3.2 Tenant may exercise each Extension Option only by delivering written notice (“Extension Option Interest Notice”) to Landlord at least six (6) calendar months prior to the then applicable expiration date of the Term, specifying that Tenant is interested in exercising an Extension Option pursuant to this Section 2.3 and, if Tenant timely exercised its Suite 409 Extension Option (as defined in the Second Amendment), Tenant must also specify whether Tenant is exercising the Extension Option as it relates to (a) the entire Tenant Space leased by Tenant at the time that Tenant delivers such notice, or (b) the entire Tenant Space leased by Tenant at the time that Tenant delivers such notice, but excluding Suite 409. Landlord shall thereafter deliver a written notice (the “Extension Option Landlord’s Notice”) to Tenant advising Tenant of the Extension Term Base Rent for the Extension Term. Tenant shall thereafter have the right, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of the Extension Option Licensor’s Notice to Tenant, to exercise the Extension Option by delivering an Extension Option Exercise Notice to Landlord. Tenant’s Extension Option Exercise Notice must specify 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 (i) this Section 2.3, and (ii) in the Extension Option Landlord’s Notice. 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 Interest Notice (which specifies whether Tenant is exercising the Extension Option as it relates to Suite 409, as described above) or 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. In the event that Tenant elects not to extend |
-5-
the Term as it relates to Suite 409, then, no later than the then-current expiration date of the Term (prior to the Extension Term), Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 13 and Section 8.4, quit and surrender possession of Suite 409 to Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
2.3.3 Tenant shall have the right to exercise the 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; provided, however, that if Tenant timely exercised its Suite 409 Extension Option (as defined in the Second Amendment), Tenant may elect to exclude Suite 409 from its exercise of the Extension Option (by specifying same in the Extension Option Interest Notice). If Tenant duly exercises an Extension Option, Landlord and 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.
