Xx addition, Landlord reserves the right to post other press releases (i.e., other than the Initial Press Release), that discloses the fact that Landlord and Tenant have entered into a lease; provided that same does not disclose the location, economics or square footage related hereto, except that each such other press release shall be subject to Tenant’s review and prior written approval, which Tenant may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. | |
21. BR Ramp Reference. | The parties acknowledge that the entirety of the Electricity Consumption Threshold (450kW) shall be available for use in the Premises on the Commencement Date. The parties further acknowledge, however, that the amounts of monthly Base Rent (see Item 8, above) for the period occurring from the Commencement Date until the last day of the fourth (4th) full calendar month of the Term (“BR Ramp Period”) are based on the thought that Tenant’s utilization of power will be “ramped in” at the beginning of the Term (i.e., the Base Rent stated in Item 8, above, for month 1 is based on an “interim” Electricity Consumption Threshold of 100kW, as follows 100kW x $139.75/kW = $13,975.00/month.). In this situation, “100kW” is referred to as the “BR Ramp Reference” for the purposes of calculating the month 1 Base Rent amount. The parties have included this Item 21 in order to account for the possibility (and results) of Xxxxxx’s utilization of power in excess of the then-current BR Ramp Reference during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and expiring at the end of month 4 of the Term (the “BR Ramp Period”). Notwithstanding the terms of Item 8 of the Basic Lease Information, above, if, during the BR Ramp Period, Tenant’s UPS power consumption in the Premises over a period of 30 consecutive days exceeds the then-current BR Ramp Reference on a kWh basis over the entirety of such 30 day period, then Tenant’s monthly Base Rent shall be increased for the next calendar months in the BR Ramp Period to be equal to $139.75/kW multiplied by the next BR Ramp Reference that would have been sufficient to include such UPS power consumption. For example: if, during month 1, Tenant’s UPS power consumption was the kWh equivalent of 400kW, then the BR Ramp Reference for months 2 and 3 would automatically be deemed to have been increased to the month 4 BR Ramp Reference (400kW). Also, for the avoidance of doubt, if during month 1, Tenant’s UPS power consumption was the kWh equivalent of 150kW, then the BR Ramp Reference for month 2 would simply be 200kW, as scheduled (i.e., technically, no Base Rent penalty for such overage). | |
22. Remote Hands Hourly Rate Consideration. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.5 or Exhibit “I” of this Lease, the parties agree that the hourly rate for the first twenty (20) hours of Remote Hands services ordered by Tenant each calendar month shall be $[***] (no rollovers). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing is merely economic consideration by Landlord to Tenant with regard to RH Provider’s hourly rate, and shall not mean that Landlord or the RH Provider will be prevented from passing through costs of procurement of cable or other equipment or gear that are called for with regard to the ordered Remote Hands service(s). | |
23. Tenant Moving Allowance. | Subject to the terms of Exhibit “J”, attached hereto, Xxxxxxxx agrees to provide Tenant with a Moving Allowance (as defined in Exhibit “J”) in connection with the relocation of certain equipment from the Wakefield Premises (as defined on Exhibit “J”) to the Premises. |

use the same, and subject to such reasonable written rules and regulations governing use of the Common Areas as Landlord may from time to time prescribe; provided that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Lease and the provisions of any rule or regulation, the provisions of the Lease shall control. Xxxxxxxx agrees that rules and regulations will not discriminate against Tenant, as compared to any similarly situated tenant, in either enforcement or effect. The parties agree that Landlord may temporarily close any part of the Common Area for such periods of time as may be necessary to prevent the public from obtaining prescriptive rights or to make repairs or alterations; Landlord agreeing, in effecting such closure, repairs or alterations, to use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Xxxxxx’s use of, or access to, the Tenant Space.
1.7 Tenant’s Datacenter Expansion Right. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.7, Tenant shall have a one-time right to request that Landlord demise to Tenant additional Datacenter space in the Building (“Datacenter Expansion Area”) which would provide Tenant with approximately an additional 300 KW of critical IT capacity. Tenant shall only have the right to lease a Datacenter Expansion Area if Landlord determines, in Landlord’s sole, but bona fide, business judgment, that a Datacenter Expansion Area and the associated additional power capacity is available for lease to Tenant. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the availability of any Datacenter Expansion Area depends upon both: (i) the availability of premises in the Building for such use by Tenant in a datacenter suite that has been designated as “multi-tenant” by Landlord, and (ii) the availability of the additional power capacity necessary to service such Datacenter Expansion Area, and the availability of additional power is dependent upon Landlord’s ability to purchase such capacity from a utility company.
1.7.1 If Tenant desires to lease a Datacenter Expansion Area, Tenant must give written notice (“Datacenter Expansion Request”) to Landlord requesting that Landlord advise Tenant as to whether a Datacenter Expansion Area is available for lease to Tenant.
1.7.2 Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days after Landlord receives a Datacenter Expansion Request from Tenant, give Tenant written notice (“Landlord’s Datacenter Offer”) advising Tenant as to whether a Datacenter Expansion Area is available for lease to Tenant and, if so: (i) the location of the Datacenter Expansion Area, (ii) the estimated commencement date with respect to the Datacenter Expansion Area, (iii) the Base Rent and other costs which would be payable by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s demise of the Datacenter Expansion Area, both during the Initial Term (if applicable), the First Extension Term, and the Second Extension Term, and (iv) and such other terms and conditions as may be applicable to Tenant’s demise of the Datacenter Expansion Area. The Base Rent for a Datacenter Expansion Area shall be based upon the Prevailing Base Rent ( as defined in Section 1.8.1 below) of the Datacenter Expansion Area, as determined by Landlord in the exercise of its bona fide business judgment (except that Tenant shall have the right to submit Landlord’s determination to Fair Market Rent Arbitration in accordance with Section 1.8.2); such Base Rent and other costs shall take into account, without limitation, costs which Landlord has incurred, or will have to incur, both capital cost and on-going costs, in order to obtain the power capacity from a utility company necessary to serve the Datacenter Expansion Area; and such other terms and conditions shall be based upon the terms and conditions which are then applicable to leases then being executed for comparable Datacenter space in the Building. Tenant shall take the Datacenter Expansion Area in “as-is” condition (i.e., Landlord shall have no obligation to prepare the Datacenter Expansion Area for Tenant’s use and occupancy).
1.7.3 If Landlord advises Tenant that a Datacenter Expansion Area is available for lease to Tenant, then: (i) Tenant may lease the Datacenter Expansion Area offered in Landlord’s Datacenter Offer by giving written notice (“Datacenter Expansion Exercise Notice”) to Landlord on or before the date fifteen (15) calendar days after Tenant receives the Landlord’s Datacenter Offer, (ii) if Tenant timely gives Landlord a Datacenter Expansion Exercise Notice, then Tenant shall lease the Datacenter Expansion Area from Landlord for a Term expiring contemporaneously with the expiration of the Term with respect to the Tenant Space initially demised to Tenant, upon the terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s Datacenter Offer, and otherwise upon all of the same terms and conditions applicable to Tenant’s demise of the Tenant Space initially demised to Tenant, to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of Landlord’s Datacenter Offer, and Tenant shall have no further right to lease additional Datacenter Expansion Area pursuant to this Section 1.7, and (iii) if Tenant does not timely give Landlord a Datacenter Expansion Exercise Notice, Tenant shall have no further right to lease additional space pursuant to this Section 1.7.
1.7.4 If Landlord advises Tenant that a Datacenter Expansion Area is not available for lease to Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right, from time to time (but subject to the provisions of this Section 1.7) to give Landlord subsequent Datacenter Expansion Exercise Notices, but not more often than one time every three months.
[***] Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential Treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
1.7.5 Tenant shall have the right to lease a Datacenter Expansion Area only with respect to the entirety of such Datacenter Expansion Area. If Tenant duly exercises its right to lease a Datacenter Expansion Area, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment reflecting such exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any attempted exercise by Tenant of its right to lease a Datacenter Expansion Area shall, at the election of Landlord, be invalid, ineffective, and of no force or effect if, on the date on which Tenant delivers a Datacenter Expansion Exercise Notice, or on the commencement date with respect to such Datacenter Expansion Area, either: (i) there shall be an uncured Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, or (ii) the Lease is no longer in full force or effect.
1.8 Determination of Prevailing Base Rent for Datacenter Expansion Area.
1.8.1 Definition of Prevailing Base Rent. The “Prevailing Base Rent” shall be defined as the prevailing base rent then being charged by Landlord for comparable space in the Building for new leases (or if there are no leases of comparable datacenter space then being entered into in the Building, then for comparable space in the greater Ashburn, Virginia market area, taking into consideration all relevant factors, including the quality, size, utility and location thereof, the length of the term thereof, the credit standing of Tenant, the amenities provided to Tenant, the Tax Base Year, and any economic concessions given to tenants such as free rent and allowance.
If Tenant disagrees with Xxxxxxxx’s designation of the Prevailing Base Rent set forth in Landlord’s Datacenter Offer, then in Tenant’s Datacenter Expansion Exercise Notice, Tenant shall request that the determination of Prevailing Base Rent for the Datacenter Expansion Area be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the procedure set forth below in Section 1.8.2, failing which Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s designation of Prevailing Base Rent.
1.8.2 Arbitration Procedure. Within ten (10) business days after Xxxxxx’s delivery to Landlord of Tenant’s Datacenter Expansion Exercise Notice, pursuant to which Tenant elects to have Base Rent determined pursuant to Fair Market Rent Arbitration (the “Appointment Deadline”), each party shall give written notice to the other setting forth the name and address of the Disinterested Expert selected by such party, who has agreed to act in such capacity, to determine the Prevailing Base Rent for the Datacenter Expansion Area. If either party shall fail to select a Disinterested Expert within the required time period, then the Disinterested Expert selected by the other party shall determine the Prevailing Base Rent. Each Disinterested Expert shall thereupon independently make its determination of the Prevailing Base Rent within thirty calendar (30) days after the Appointment Deadline (each, an “Initial Expert Determination”). If either Disinterested Expert shall fail to make an Initial Expert Determination of the Prevailing Base Rent within thirty (30) days after the Appointment Deadline, then the Initial Expert Determination of the other Disinterested Expert (to the extent that such Disinterested Expert makes such Initial Expert Determination within such thirty (30) day period) shall be deemed the Prevailing Base Rent. If the two (2) Disinterested Experts’ Initial Expert Determination are not the same, but the higher of such two (2) values is not more than [***] of the lower of such values, then the Prevailing Base Rent shall be deemed to be the average of the two (2) values. If, however, the higher of such two (2) values is more than [***] of the lower of such values, then the two (2) Disinterested Experts shall jointly appoint a third (3rd) Disinterested Expert (the “3rd Expert”) within ten (10) days after the second (2nd) of the two (2) Initial Expert Determinations has been rendered and delivered to the other party. The 3rd Expert shall independently choose which of the Initial Expert Determinations is the more accurate with regard to Prevailing Base Rent, and the Initial Expert Determination chosen by the 3rd Expert shall be deemed to be the Prevailing Base Rent for the Datacenter Expansion Area. The 3rd Expert shall only choose from between the Initial Expert Determinations provided by each of the other Disinterested Experts and shall not be afforded the opportunity to render an independent Initial Expert Determination. For the purposes hereof, “Disinterested Expert” shall mean a broker who has been regularly engaged in the business of datacenter leasing in the Market Area for at least the five (5) years immediately preceding such person’s appointment hereunder. Each party shall pay for the cost of its Disinterested Expert and one-half of the cost of any 3rd Expert. If the Base Rent for the Datacenter Expansion Area shall not have been determined prior to the commencement date with respect to such Datacenter Expansion Area, then Tenant shall commence to pay Base Rent with respect to such Datacenter Expansion Area based upon Landlord’s initial determination of the Prevailing Base Rent, and after such Base Rent is determined by arbitration, then either (i)Tenant shall, within thirty (30) calendar days after billing, pay to Landlord any underpayment of Base Rent, or (ii) Landlord shall credit to Tenant’s account any overpayment of Base Rent.
1.9 Licenses and Permits. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s cost, obtain all licenses, approvals, permits and authorizations required by applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations that Landlord is required to have in order to perform the Landlord’s Essential Services and to perform Landlord’s Installations. Landlord shall provide Tenant with all such licenses, approvals, permits and authorizations within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request therefore.
2. | TERM. |

in accordance with the express terms of this Lease.
2.2 Delivery of Tenant Space. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the Commencement Date Conditions prior to the Target Commencement Date. Landlord and Xxxxxx acknowledge and agree that, by virtue of Xxxxxxxx’s delivery of the Commencement Date Notice to Tenant, Landlord shall be deemed to have delivered the Tenant Space to Tenant, and Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the same.
2.2.1 Failure to Meet Commencement Date Conditions. In the event that the Commencement Date Conditions have not been completed by the Target Commencement Date, subject to extension by virtue of Force Majeure, Landlord shall not be deemed in default hereunder, and the Commencement Date shall be postponed, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive alternative remedies, until the date on which the Commencement Date Conditions have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
2.2.1.1 If the Commencement Date Conditions have not occurred prior to the Outside Liquidated Damages Date, subject to extension by virtue of Force Majeure, Tenant shall receive a credit (“Rent Credit”) of [***] of Rent (calculated using the Rent amounts which would have been payable had the Tenant Space been timely delivered) for each day between the Outside Liquidated Damages Date (as extended by virtue of Force Majeure) and the date on which the Commencement Date Conditions occur, provided however that in no event shall the amount of the Rent Credit exceed 30 days of Rent (calculated using the Rent amounts which would have been payable had the Tenant Space been timely delivered); or
2.2.1.2 If the Commencement Date Conditions have not occurred prior to the Outside Completion Date, subject to extension by virtue of Force Majeure, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, provided that:
(a) Tenant notifies Landlord of such termination prior to the earlier to occur of: (1) completion of the Commencement Date Conditions; or (2) ten (10) business days after the Outside Completion Date; and
(b) Landlord has not caused the Commencement Date Conditions to have been completed within five (5) days after its receipt of such notice of termination from Tenant.
If (aa) the Commencement Date Conditions are completed prior to Tenant’s exercise of the foregoing termination right, (bb) the Commencement Date Conditions are completed within five (5) days after Tenant’s exercise of the foregoing termination right, or (cc) Tenant shall fail to exercise such termination right within ten (10) days after the Outside Completion Date, then such termination right shall, in any such event, be deemed to have expired and shall, thereafter, be of no further force or effect.
2.2.2 Intentionally Deleted.
2.2.3 Early Access. Sections 2.2 & 2.2.1, above, notwithstanding, Landlord agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, to permit Tenant and the other Tenant Parties to have Early Access in the Premises, on and after the Early Access Date. Any such permission shall constitute a license only, conditioned upon Tenant and Texxxx’s contractors’ obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) with regard to each item of Tenant Work that any of such parties desire to undertake during the Early Access Period.
2.2.3.1 Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, the Early Access Period may be reduced by Landlord to the extent such Early Access materially interferes with Landlord’s ability to complete the Commencement Date Conditions on or before the Target Commencement Date. Tenant’s Early Access shall be subject to (and, during such period, Tenant must comply with) all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, excepting only the payment of Base Rent. Additionally, Texxxx xgrees that (a) Landlord’s obligations to provide services to the Tenant Space and/or the equipment serving the Tenant Space shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall not apply during the Early Access Period, and (b) while Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent during the Early Access Period, Tenant shall be required to pay any and all electricity charges that accrue to the Premises during the Early Access Period.
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 following options (“Extension Options”) to extend the Term of the Lease.
First Extension Term: Three (3) years (months 61-96)
Second Extension Term: Three (3) years (months 97-132)
[***] Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential Treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Tenant’s right to extend the Term of the Lease with respect to any Extension Term shall be conditioned upon Tenant having timely and properly exercised its right to extend the Term of the Lease for all prior Extension Terms.
2.3.2 Each Extension Term shall be upon all of the same terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the then-current Term of this Lease (except as provided otherwise herein). Tenant shall have no further options to extend the Term, except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.3.
2.3.3 The monthly Extension Term Base Rent payable with respect to the Tenant Space for each Extension Term shall be equal to the then prevailing base rent then being charged by Landlord for comparable space in the Building for new leases, taking into consideration the quality, size, utility and location thereof, the length of the Extension Term, the credit standing of Tenant, and the amenities provided to Tenant; provided, however, that in no event shall the monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant during the first year of any Extension Term be less than one hundred three percent (103%) of the scheduled monthly Base Rent for the last month of the immediately preceding year of the Term of the Lease; and provided further 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 last month of the immediately preceding year of the Term of the Lease, as extended.
2.3.4 With respect to the First Extension Option and the Second Extension Option, Tenant may exercise each such Extension Option only by delivering an Extension Option Interest Notice to Landlord at least nine (9) calendar months (and not more than twelve (12) 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. Landlord shall thereafter deliver the Extension Option Landlord’s Notice to Tenant. Tenant shall thereafter have the right to exercise the applicable Extension Option by delivering an Extension Option Exercise Notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of the Extension Option Landlord’s Notice to Tenant, 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 (a) in this Section 2.3, and (b) in the Extension Option Landlord’s Notice.
2.3.5 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 Extension Terms properly exercised by Tenant). In the event that Tenant shall fail to deliver an Extension Option Exercise Notice, or an Extension Option Interest Notice, as the case may be, 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.
2.3.6 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 an Extension Option Interest Notice, as the case may be, or on the date on which the Extension Term is scheduled to commence, either: (i) there shall be an uncured Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, or (ii) the Lease is no longer in full force or effect.
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) 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; and
(b) if the Term of this Lease is terminated on a date other than the last day of a calendar month, any prepaid Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be refunded to Tenant on a per diem and prorated basis for each day during the calendar month after the effective date of termination for which Tenant has paid Base Rent and Additional Rent, to the extent that
[***] Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential Treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
such overpayment exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord.
Tenant shall not pay any installment of Rent more than one (1) month in advance.
3.2 Installation Fee. In consideration of the costs incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s installation of Landlord’s Installations (as defined on Exhibit “E”) Tenant shall pay the Installation Fee (in the amount set forth in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Information, above) to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Texxxx’s receipt of an invoice for same.
3.3 Payments Generally. Base Rent and all forms of Additional Rent payable hereunder by Texxxx (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). No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease. 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.
3.4 Late Payments. Landlord and Tenant agree that if Landlord has not received any payment of Rent on or before the Delinquency Date, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees to waive the Late Charge with respect to the first late payment in any twelve-(12)-month period. In no event, however, shall the charges permitted under this Section 3.4, or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent the same are considered to be interest under Applicable Law, exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest. Landlord’s acceptance of any Late Charge, or any Late Payment Interest, shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the Late Payment, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder or under any Applicable Laws.
3.5 Utilities; Tenant’s Utility Payment.
3.5.1 Defined Terms.
(a)The term “PUE Cap Pre-Conditions” means that throughout the course of the applicable calendar year, (i) Tenant has operated the Premises (utilization of UPS power) on a monthly average kWh basis at not less than [***] of the Electricity Consumption Threshold for each month of the applicable calendar year (reasonably prorated to account for parts of a calendar year occurring at the beginning and ending of the Term); (ii) Tenant has installed, and has been in continuous utilization of Containment, (iii) Tenant has installed and has been in reasonably continuous utilization of blanking panels in the preponderance of empty rack positions, (iv) all or substantially all air gaps between the hot and cold aisles are sealed, and (v) all equipment in the racks in the Premises exhaust hot air to the hot aisle and not to the cold aisle.
(b)The term “Containment” shall mean and refer to a hot or cold aisle containment solution for the Premises (i.e., the installation of certain equipment, barriers and materials throughout the Premises for the purpose of keeping hot aisle air segregated from cold aisle air), including “door open” and “door closed” sensors that record the time of such openings and closings, in accordance with plans that have been reviewed and reasonably approved by Landlord.
3.5.2 Tenant shall pay the cost of all utilities (e.g., electricity, chilled water) serving, provided to and/or used in or for the Tenant Space. In that regard, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Utility Payment (also referred to herein as “Tenant’s Utility Payment (Default)”) to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after Texxxx’s receipt of each Tenant’s Utility Payment invoice. The monthly amount of Tenant’s Utility Payment shall be, as follows (subject to Section 3.5.3, below):
3.5.2.1 Intentionally Deleted.
3.5.2.2 During the Utility Default Period, Tenant’s Utility Payment shall be equal to Tenant’s Utility Payment (Default). For the avoidance of doubt, Texxxx xcknowledges that, during the Utility Default Period, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Utility Payment (Default), subject to the terms and conditions of the following Sections 3.5.2.3 and 3.5.2.4.
[***] Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential Treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
3.5.2.3 Tenant’s Utility Payment (Default) obligation for each billing cycle shall be equal to the actual amount of Tenant’s Shared Mechanical Payment and the actual amount of Tenant’s Separately Metered Utility Payment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if, over the course of the applicable calendar year, (a) Tenant has operated the Premises on a monthly average kWh basis at not less than [***] of the Electricity Consumption Threshold for each month of the applicable calendar year (reasonably prorated to account for parts of a calendar year occurring at the beginning and end of the Term), and (b) Tenant has been in continuous compliance with the PUE Cap Pre-Conditions, then the aggregate of Tenant’s Utility Payments for such calendar year shall (in accordance with Section 3.5.3, below) not exceed a sum equal to (a) the aggregate amounts of Tenant’s Separately Metered Utility Payments for such calendar year, plus (b) [***] of the aggregate amounts of Tenant’s Separately Metered Utility Payments for such calendar year (i.e., a total of [***] of the aggregate amounts of Tenant’s Separately Metered Utility Payments for such calendar year; the “Conditional PUE Cost Recovery Cap”).
3.5.2.4 Landlord shall provide Tenant a statement on or before June 15 (or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible) after the end of each calendar year, showing the aggregate of Tenant’s Utility Payments (Default) throughout such calendar year, as compared to the aggregate of Tenant’s Utility Payments (Default) that would have been collected by Landlord from Tenant during such calendar year if capped, in the aggregate, by the Conditional PUE Cost Recovery Cap. If (a) the Premises has been in compliance with the PUE Cap Pre-Conditions over the course of the entire calendar year, and (b) the aggregate of Tenant’s Utility Payments (Default), as affected by the Conditional PUE Cost Recovery Cap is less than the aggregate of Tenant’s Utility Payments (Default) that were actually collected by Landlord from Tenant during such months without taking the Conditional PUE Cost Recovery Cap calculation into consideration, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, within thirty (30) days following Texxxx’s receipt of such statement, the amount of the difference. The parties acknowledge that Landlord shall reasonably prorate the foregoing reconciliation mechanism to account for parts of a calendar year occurring at the beginning and end of the Term. The foregoing adjustment provisions shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease.
3.5.3 Periods of Premises Underutilization. Tenant acknowledges that Shared Infrastructure Costs will be incurred for the operation of the Building and the Datacenter regardless of whether there is any power being drawn in the Premises. As such, Section 3.5.2 above notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, during Periods of Premises Underutilization, Tenant’s Utility Payment shall be determined by virtue of a reasonable proration of the Shared Infrastructure Costs (based on power capacity).
3.5.4 Generator Fuel Usage. Additionally, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s proportionate share (based on power usage) of the cost of all Generator Fuel Usage, except for the extent to which such Generator Fuel Usage represents Maintenance Fuel Usage. Landlord shall bill 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 3.5.5 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 Billing Disputes and Reports. Landlord and Tenant shall exercise good faith efforts to resolve all billing disputes to their mutual satisfaction within thirty (30) calendar days.
4.TAXES.
4.1 Taxes - Equipment. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay at least ten (10) days 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 Texxxx xs liable hereunder.

Tenant shall pay each Projected Real Property Tax Installment to Landlord on the first day of each month during the Term of the Lease. Until Tenant has received the statement of the Taxes - Real Property (Projected) from Landlord, Tenant shall continue to pay Projected Real Property Tax Installments to Landlord in the same amount (if any) as required for the last month of the prior calendar year. Upon Texxxx’s receipt of such statement of the Taxes - Real Property (Projected), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or Landlord shall pay to Tenant (whichever is appropriate), the difference between the amount paid by Texxxx xs Projected Real Property Tax Installments prior to receiving such statement and the amount payable by Tenant therefor as set forth in such statement. Landlord shall provide Tenant a statement on or before June 15 (or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible) after the end of each calendar year, showing Texxxx’s Proportionate Share of Taxes - Real Property (Actual) applicable to such calendar year, as compared to the total of the Projected Real Property Tax Installments for such calendar year.

However, if Texxxx’s Proportionate Share of Taxes - Real Property (Actual) for such calendar year is less than the aggregate of the Projected Real Property Tax Installments collected by Landlord from Tenant with regard to such calendar year, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, within thirty (30) calendar days following Texxxx’s receipt of such statement, the amount of such excess. Landlord shall have the right from time to time during each calendar year to revise the Taxes - Real Property (Projected), based upon Landlord’s reasonable estimate of increases or decreases in Taxes - Real Property (Projected) and provide Tenant with a revised statement thereof. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay Projected Real Property Tax Installments on the basis of the revised statement. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar year, or the expiration or termination date of this Lease is not the last day of a calendar year, then Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes - Real Property (Actual) shall be prorated. The foregoing adjustment provisions shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease. If Laxxxxxx xeceives an abatement of Taxes - Real Property for any fiscal/tax year in respect of which Tenant pays Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes - Real Property, then Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after Landlord actually receives the proceeds of such abatement, credit or pay to Tenant with Texxxx’s Proportionate Share of the net (i.e. net of the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in obtaining such abatement) amount of such abatement proceeds, provided however, that in no event shall Tenant receive, with respect to any fiscal tax year, more than the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes - Real Property paid by Tenant for Landlord for such fiscal tax year.

The power drawn by all of Tenant’s Personal Property shall be included in the calculation of Tenant’s actual electricity consumption for the Premises, except that if Tenant leases the Datacenter Expansion Area pursuant to Section 1.7, then the Electricity Consumption Threshold shall be increased by the additional electrical capacity provided to Tenant in connection with its demise of the Datacenter Expansion Area. In the event that an ECT Overage occurs, Texxxx xgrees to take immediate action to cause power consumption in the Premises to be at or below the Electricity Consumption Threshold.

In the event that the electricity consumption for the Premises exceeds any the Sub-ECT, then such occurrence shall also be deemed to be an ECT Overage (a “Sub-ECT Overage”), and Tenant agrees to take immediate action to cause power consumption to be at or below the Sub-ECT. Notwithstanding Section 15.1.2.1 of this Lease, below, it shall be deemed to be an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease if Tenant fails to remedy a Sub-ECT Overage within one hundred twenty (120) hours after its receipt of an ECT Default Notice for such ECT Overage.
6.4.3 Circuit Consumption Threshold. Tenant is responsible for managing the electrical load on Dedicated Main Circuits (as defined below) in order to prevent overloading of each Dedicated Main Circuit during reduced redundancy operations. In that regard, in the event (during normal operation) that the load on any Dedicated Main Circuit reaches 45% of the applicable circuit rating, Landlord may notify Tenant (by an email generated by the BMS System) of this condition and request that Tenant closely monitor its circuit-level loads to ensure they remain below 50% of the applicable circuit rating, with a recommendation that normal operating load be maintained below 45% of the applicable circuit rating to minimize the chance of an unplanned load in excess of 50%. In the event (during normal operation) that the load on any Dedicated Main Circuit exceeds the Circuit Consumption Threshold (as defined below) for such Dedicated Main Circuit (a “Circuit Threshold Overage”), Landlord may notify Tenant (by an email generated by the BMS System) of this condition and request that the load for the applicable Dedicated Main Circuit be reduced to below 50% of the applicable circuit rating, with a recommendation that normal operating load be maintained below 45% of applicable circuit rating to minimize the chance of an unplanned load in excess of 50%. In the event of a Circuit Threshold Overage for which Tenant has not reduced the load for such Dedicated Main Circuit below 50% of the applicable circuit rating, Landlord shall be relieved of its SLA obligations, and Tenant shall not be entitled to remedies set forth in the SLA, with respect to Power Availability to the PDU(s) serving the applicable Dedicated Main Circuit(s). As used herein, “Dedicated Main Circuit” shall mean and refer to the input feeder circuits of each PDU to the Premises.

Additionally, except as expressly set forth on Exhibit “F”, attached hereto, with regard to Interruptions of Landlord’s Essential Services, no interruption or malfunction of any electrical or other service to the Premises, 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 Tenant Space, (ii) constitute a breach by Landlord of any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, (iii) render Landlord liable for damages of any type or entitle Tenant to be relieved from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (including the obligation to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges), (iv) grant Tenant any right of setoff or recoupment, (v) provide Tenant with any right to terminate this Lease, or (vi) make Landlord liable for any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business or any punitive, incidental or Consequential Damages, whether foreseeable or not, whether arising from or relating to the making of or failure to make any repairs, alterations or improvements, or whether arising from or related to the provision of or failure to provide for or to restore any service in or to any portion of the Property, the Building or the Datacenter.

The current list of available Remote Hands services (the “Current Remote Hands Services”), as of the Effective Date of this Lease, is attached hereto as Exhibit “I” (the “Remote Hands Addendum”). However, Landlord (on RH Provider’s behalf) reserves the right to modify the list of available Remote Hands services and/or the period(s) of time during which such services are available, from time to time, by written notice to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall RH Provider be liable or responsible, in connection with the Remote Hands services, for the repair, configuration, tuning or installation of Tenant’s Personal Property or the Premises or any damage or loss caused by Remote Hands services, except to the extent that Landlord would have been liable under the terms of this Lease for such activities if the same had been performed by Landlord.
7.5.2 Process for Ordering Remote Hands Services. Tenant must request and utilize RH Provider’s Remote Hands services by virtue of placing an order for such service sending an e-mail request to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx (or to such other person or to such other place as Landlord, or the RH Provider may from time to time designate in writing to Tenant). Once received, RH Provider will generate a work order (which will describe the requested Remote Hands services and will describe the price for same, if any).

If Tenant does not deliver to Landlord a certificate or other proof of renewal or coverage from an insurance carrier at least ten (10) business days prior to the expiration dates of each expiring policy, Landlord may, if Tenant has not cured such default within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from Landlord, obtain such insurance on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s demand therefor, pay to Landlord an amount equal to the cost of such insurance policies plus an administrative surcharge of ten percent (10%).
9.3 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, procure and maintain throughout the Term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance in accordance with the terms and requirements set forth in Exhibit “B-2” to this Lease. Each of such insurance policies shall be endorsed so as to include a waiver of subrogation in accordance with and to the full extent of Landlord’s waiver of claims with respect to the Tenant Group set forth in Section 14.1.2 of this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, however, Landlord and Xxxxxx 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, other than Landlord’s Installations.
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. 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 twenty (20) 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, Xxxxxx modifies any of the terms and conditions relevant to a proposed Transfer specified in the Transfer Notice, Xxxxxx 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 twenty (20) 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; provided however, that if the proposed Transfer is a sublease or other Transfer of only a portion of the Tenant Space and/or for a portion of the remaining Term, Landlord shall only have the right to terminate (or suspend, as the case may be) the Lease with respect to the portion of the Tenant Space for the portion of the remaining Term which Tenant proposes to sublease or Transfer. If Landlord exercises its right to terminate or suspend the Term of the Lease with respect to only a portion of the Tenant Space, then the Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be reduced based pro-rata for the time period of such termination or suspension based upon the reduction in the electrical capacity available to Tenant in the remaining portion of the Tenant Space.
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 be responsible for the performance of all Tenant’s obligations 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 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 Xxxxxx’s receipt thereof.
11. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
11.1 Estoppel Certificate by Xxxxxx. At any time and from time to time, within ten (10) business days after written request by Landlord, Xxxxxx shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying all matters reasonably requested by Landlord and/or any prospective purchaser of the Building and/or the Property and/or any Holder. Xxxxxx 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.
11.2 Estoppel Certificate by Landlord. At any time and from time to time, within ten (10) days after written request by Xxxxxx, Landlord shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Tenant a statement in writing certifying all matters reasonably requested by Tenant or any current or prospective transferee of Tenant’s, purchaser of Tenant or any current or prospective lender to Tenant or such transferee, including the nature of known defaults by Tenant under the Lease, if any. Xxxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that any statement delivered (or to be delivered) pursuant to this Article 11 may be relied upon by any current or prospective transferee and/or purchaser of Tenant, and/or any lender to Tenant or such transferee.
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, the Datacenter or the Tenant Space by reason of any termination or foreclosure of any such Security Documents (and notwithstanding any subordination of such Security Document to this Lease that may or may not have occurred), at the election of Landlord’s successor in interest, Xxxxxx agrees to attorn to and become the tenant of such successor, in which event Xxxxxx’s right to possession of the Premises will not be disturbed as long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right under any Applicable Law or otherwise to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any termination or transfer of Landlord’s estate or interest in the Property, the Building, the Datacenter, or the Tenant Space by reason of any termination or foreclosure of any such Security Documents. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, within ten (10) business days after 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 Xxxxxx’s agreement to attorn with respect to any such Security Document; provided, however, any such agreement subordinating this Lease to such lease, mortgage or deed of trust shall contain a non-disturbance provision that is reasonably acceptable to such Holder, Landlord and Tenant in accordance with Section 12.3, below.
12.2 Holder Protection. Tenant agrees to give each Noticed Holder, by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord by Xxxxxx. 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. 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 Xxxxxx’s agreement to attorn to the Holder as provided in this Article 12, shall be conditioned upon the Holder entering into an SNDA.

12.3.1 Landlord represents to Tenant that, as of the Effective Date of this Lease, there is no mortgage affecting the Building.
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, and damage caused by a Casualty Event, Taking or a default of Landlord 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) calendar 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 the Hold Over Percentage, as hereinafter defined, 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 “Hold Over Percentage” shall be defined as 150% for the first sixty (60) days of hold over in the Tenant Space by Tenant, or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant 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) and 200% for any period of hold over by Tenant after the first sixty (60) days. The monthly rent payable for such holdover period shall in no event be construed as a penalty or as liquidated damages for such retention of possession, nor shall such monthly rent be considered to be any form of Consequential Damages related to such retention of possession. Neither any provision hereof nor any acceptance by Landlord of any rent after any such expiration or earlier termination shall be deemed a consent to any holdover hereunder or result in a renewal of this Lease or an extension of the Term, or any waiver of any of Landlord’s rights or remedies with respect to such holdover. As such, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Tenant Space upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease or upon the earlier termination hereof or at any time during any holdover and the right to assert any remedy at law or in equity to evict Tenant and collect damages in connection with any such holdover.
13.4 Survival. The provisions of this Article 13 shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Lease.
14. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION; CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LIENS.
14.1 Waivers.
14.1.1 Tenant hereby waives its rights against the Landlord Group with respect to any claims, damages or losses for bodily injury to persons and/or damage to any Tenant’s Personal Property, which are caused by or result from (i) risks insured against under any insurance policies which are required to be obtained and maintained by Tenant under this Lease, and were, in fact, carried by Tenant at the time of such claim, damage, loss or injury, or (ii) risks which would have been covered under any insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Tenant under this Lease had such insurance been obtained and maintained as required, including all such claims, damages and losses, which are caused by or result from the negligence or willful misconduct of any member of the Landlord Group. The foregoing waivers shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other waivers or releases contained in this Lease.
14.1.2 Landlord hereby waives its rights against the Tenant Group with respect to any claims, damages or losses for bodily injury to persons and/or for damage to the Building, the Property and/or Landlord’s equipment and fixtures, which are caused by or result from (i) risks insured against under any insurance policies which are required to be obtained and maintained by Landlord under this Lease and that were, in fact, carried by Landlord at the time of such claim, damage, loss or injury, or (ii) risks which would have been covered under any insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Landlord under this Lease had such insurance been obtained and maintained as required, including all such claims, damages and losses, which are caused by or result from the negligence or willful misconduct of any member of the Tenant Group. The foregoing waivers shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other waivers or releases contained in this Lease.

14.2.1.2 In the event that any Claim for which Landlord is entitled to indemnification under this Lease is brought against Landlord or any other member of the Landlord Group, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend such action or proceeding at Tenant’s cost and expense. Tenant agrees that no settlement offer that involves the admission of liability by Landlord or obligation to make payment or pay damages 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 vacating 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 Subject to the limitations on Landlord’s liability expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and the Tenant Parties from and against (and to reimburse Tenant and any Tenant Parties for) all third party Claims to the extent arising from, in connection with, or in any manner relating to (or alleged to arise from, to be in connection with, or to be in any manner related to) (a) injuries to persons to the extent caused by the acts of negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any member of the Landlord Group at the Property, and (b) damage to property to the extent caused by the acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any member of the Landlord Group at the Property, provided however, that the foregoing indemnification obligations contained in this Section 14.2.2 shall not include the obligation of Landlord to indemnify any Tenant Party to the extent that such claims are caused directly or indirectly, by the

14.2.2.1 In the event that any Claim for which Xxxxxx is entitled to indemnification under this Lease is brought against Tenant or any other member of the Tenant Group, Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall defend such action or proceeding at Landlord’s cost and expense. Landlord agrees that no settlement offer that involves the admission of liability by Tenant or obligation to make payment or pay damages shall be offered or accepted by Tenant in connection with any such indemnification and/or defense without Tenant’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. This indemnity provision and Xxxxxxxx’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 vacating 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 Landlord or Tenant.
14.3 Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary (express or implied) contained herein, except with regard to Tenant’s obligations to indemnify Landlord, as expressly set forth in Section 14.2.1.1(i)(g) and (h) above, under no circumstances whatsoever shall Landlord or Tenant ever be liable under this Lease for first-party or third-party Consequential Damages.

Tenant shall require each contractor which it engages to perform any improvements or alterations within the Tenant Space or elsewhere in the Building or the Property, to acknowledge and agree in writing that it is performing its work under its agreement with Tenant solely for the benefit of Tenant and that Tenant is not acting as Landlord’s agent. Any mechanic’s lien filed against the Tenant Space, the Building or the Property, or any portion of any of the above, for work claimed to have been done, or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant, shall be duly discharged by Tenant, by bonding or otherwise, within thirty (30) calendar days after the later of: (i) filing of the lien, or (ii) Tenant being made aware of the lien.

It shall constitute a Landlord Default if: (a) Landlord shall fail to perform or observe any of Landlord’s Lease Undertakings, and (b) such failure continues for a period of twenty (20) 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 twenty (20) days following written notice to Landlord, such failure to cure shall not be a Landlord Default if Landlord commences its cure within such twenty (20) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the curing thereof to completion.

(v) no personal liability or personal responsibility of any sort with respect to any of Landlord’s Lease Undertakings, or any alleged breach thereof, is assumed by, or shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against, any member of the Landlord Group other than Landlord.
16.3 Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. Landlord (and each of Xxxxxxxx’s successors-in-interest) shall have the right, from time to time, to assign its interest and obligations, in writing and/or by operation of law, in and under this Lease to any third party to whom Landlord conveys its interest in the Property. Once and if Landlord (and/or any successor to Landlord) shall convey its interest in the Property to a third party, (a) Landlord (and each such successor) shall be fully released from all of the obligations and liabilities of Landlord under the Lease Documents accruing on or after the date of such transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Property to such third party, and (b) Xxxxxx agrees to look solely to the successor-in-interest of Landlord for all such obligations and liabilities accruing on or after the date of such transfer. If any security has been given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of any of the covenants of this Lease, Landlord shall transfer or deliver said security, as such, to Landlord’s successor in interest and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with regard to said security.
16.3.1 Status as a Real Estate Investment Trust. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to assign part of its interest and obligations in and under this Lease to a wholly owned subsidiary of Landlord (or a wholly owned subsidiary of Landlord’s parent company), if and to the extent that Landlord determines such partial transfer is necessary or advisable in connection with the status of Landlord, or any other member of the Landlord Group, as a real estate investment trust.
17. MISCELLANEOUS.
17.1 Severability. If it is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, (i) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and shall remain in full force and effect; and (ii) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to effectuating the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
17.2 No Waiver. No failure or delay by either party 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 either party to perform will be waived, altered or modified, except by written instrument signed by such party.
17.3 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. If either Landlord or Tenant initiates any litigation, mediation, arbitration or other proceeding regarding the enforcement, construction or interpretation of this Lease, then the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees and costs (including all expense reimbursements, expert witness fees, litigation costs, court or arbitration tribunal costs, filing fees, exhibit fees, forensic consultant fees, litigation support costs, expert witness fees, the costs of appeals and attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with post-judgment collection and enforcement efforts). In addition, if it should otherwise be necessary or proper for Landlord to consult an attorney concerning this Lease for the review of instruments evidencing a proposed Transfer or for the purpose of collecting Rent, Xxxxxx agrees to pay to Landlord its actual attorneys’ fees whether suit be brought or not to the extent such fees exceed $500.00. The parties agree that this Section 17.3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE FILING OF A CROSS-COMPLAINT BY ONE AGAINST THE OTHER IS SUFFICIENT TO MAKE THE PARTIES “ADVERSE.”
17.5 Headings; Time; Survival. The headings of the Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits of this Lease are for convenience only and do not define, limit or construe the contents thereof. Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. Unless otherwise expressly stated, the words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Lease as a whole and not to any particular Section, subsection, or other subpart of this Lease. The words “include” and “including” shall not be construed as terms of limitation and shall, in all instances, be interpreted as meaning “including, but not limited to.” In all instances where a party is required to pay any sum or do any act at a particular indicated time or within an indicated period, it is understood that time is of the essence. Any obligations of a party accruing prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease, and such party shall promptly perform all such obligations whether or not this Lease has expired.

Notice shall be deemed given, (a) when delivered (if delivered by hand or personal service), (b) if sent by a reputable overnight courier service, on the business day immediately following the business day on which it was sent, (c) the date the facsimile is transmitted, or (d) the date the e-mail is transmitted.
17.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Lease shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the Property is located.

17.8 Incorporation; Amendment; Merger.

Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it has read and reviewed this Lease and that it has had the opportunity to confer with counsel in the negotiation of this Lease. Accordingly, this Lease shall be construed neither for nor against Landlord or Tenant, but shall be given a fair and reasonable interpretation in accordance with the meaning of its terms and the intent of the parties. This Lease shall not be binding or effective until each of the parties hereto has executed and delivered an original counterpart hereof to each other. No contractual or other rights shall exist between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Tenant Space until both have executed and delivered this Lease, notwithstanding that Landlord has delivered to Tenant an unexecuted copy of this Lease. The submission of this Lease to Tenant shall not constitute the grant of an option for the Tenant to lease, or otherwise create any interest by Tenant in, the Tenant Space. The execution of this Lease by Xxxxxx and return to Landlord shall not be binding upon Landlord, notwithstanding any time interval, until Landlord has, in fact, executed and delivered this Lease to Tenant.
17.11 Recordation. Neither Tenant nor any person or entity acting through, under or on behalf of Tenant shall record or cause the recordation of this Lease, but Xxxxxxxx agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver (if applicable) a statutory form of Notice of Lease.

The amount of time for a party to perform any of its obligations (other than payment obligations) shall be extended by the amount of time such party is delayed in performing such obligation by reason of any Force Majeure event.
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.

17.16 Access by Xxxxxxxx. Landlord, Xxxxxxxx’s agents and employees shall have the right to enter upon any and all parts of the Tenant Space at any reasonable time upon prior reasonable oral or written notice (except in the case of an emergency when no prior notice shall be required, and except as otherwise expressly set forth below) to examine the condition thereof, to clean, to make any repairs, alterations or additions required to be made by Landlord hereunder, to show the Tenant Space to prospective purchasers or prospective or current mortgage lenders (in either case only upon forty-eight (48) hours’ prior oral or written notice), to show the Tenant Space to prospective tenants (only during the last nine (9) months of the Term, and only upon forty-eight (48) hours’ prior oral or written notice), to determine whether Tenant is complying with all of its obligations under this Lease, and/or to exercise any of Landlord’s rights or remedies hereunder. In connection with Xxxxxxxx’s rights hereunder, Xxxxxx agrees that Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key that will unlock all of the doors in, on or about the Tenant Space; and, in the absence of such a key, Landlord shall have the right to use any reasonable means to open such doors to obtain entry to the Tenant Space.

17.17 Rights Reserved by Landlord. Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord hereby expressly reserves all rights related to the Premises, the Datacenter, the Building and the Property, including the right: (i) to change the name or street address of the Building and/or the Property; (ii) to install, affix and maintain all signs on the exterior and/or interior of the Building and/or the Property; (iii) to change, from time to time, the dimensions, configurations and locations of the Common Areas, and/or to otherwise make such alterations to the Datacenter or the Building as Landlord deems desirable; (iv) to install, operate and maintain systems which monitor, by closed circuit television or otherwise, all persons entering or leaving the Building, the Datacenter, and/or the Property; (v) to install and maintain pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and structural elements located in the Datacenter or the Tenant Space and which serve other parts or other tenants or occupants of the Datacenter, the Building and/or the Property; (vi) to create any additional improvements to structural and/or mechanical systems, interior and exterior walls and/or glass; and (vii) to lease space in the Datacenter, the Building and the Property, and to create such other tenancies in the Datacenter, the Building and the Property as Landlord shall desire. In exercising its rights under this Section 17.17, Landlord shall not (i) reduce the size or volume of the Tenant Space more than a de minimus amount, (ii) except in an emergency, impact the operation of Tenant’s business operations in any material manner, or the privacy of Tenant’s customers in the Tenant Space without having given Tenant at least seven (7) calendar days prior written notice, or (iii) materially affect the visibility of Tenant’s lobby signage, if any, to visitors to the lobby of the Building. In scheduling any Datacenter, Building, or Property repair or maintenance, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any impact on Tenant’s operations in the Tenant Space.
17.18 Counterparts; Delivery by Facsimile or E-mail. This Lease may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same Lease.

[***] Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential Treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
17.19 Confidentiality of Lease. Each party agrees that (i) the terms and provisions of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of the parties and (ii) it shall not disclose, and it shall cause its partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, brokers and attorneys to not disclose any term or provision of this Lease to any other person without first obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, except that each party shall have the right to disclose such information for valid business, legal and accounting purposes and/or if advisable under any applicable securities laws regarding public disclosure of business information and/or as required by Applicable Law or any court ruling.
17.20 Incorporation of Schedules and Exhibits. All of the terms and conditions of all of the Schedules and Exhibits to this Lease are hereby incorporated into this Lease.
17.21 Financial Statements. Within ten (10) days after Xxxxxxxx’s written request therefore, which request shall be made only in the event that any actual or prospective lender, mortgagee or purchaser of the Building has required same, Tenant shall deliver Tenant’s Financial Statements to Landlord for the two (2) fiscal years immediately preceding Landlord’s request. If Tenant does not then have its Financial Statements audited, Tenant must forward unaudited Financial Statements certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer as true, complete and correct in all material respects. Xxxxxxxx xxxxxx agrees to maintain Tenant’s Financial Statements as proprietary and confidential and agrees not to disclose Tenant’s Financial Statements to any third party other than any actual or prospective lender, mortgagee, or purchaser of the Building, and Xxxxxxxx’s attorneys, accountants and similar business advisors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 17.21 shall not apply with regard to Tenant’s Financial Statements if, as the case may be, (a) the entity named as “Tenant” or the entity that is named as “Guarantor” under this Lease is a publicly traded entity that is traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, and (b) such entity’s Financial Statements are available online at no cost to Landlord
17.22 Master Lease. Landlord and Xxxxxx hereby acknowledge and agree that Landlord may enter into a Master Lease with a Third Party Tenant for the operation and control of all or part of the Premises, and in such event, the Lease will automatically, without consent or further action of Tenant, be deemed a sublease between the Third Party Tenant, as sub-landlord, and Tenant, as subtenant. For the avoidance of doubt, aside from the fact that this Lease would (in such situation) become a sublease between Third Party Tenant (as sublandlord) and Tenant (as subtenant), rather than a lease between Landlord and Tenant, the terms of this Lease would not otherwise be changed by such action, and the Third Party Tenant (as “Landlord” under this Lease) would be required to comply with the terms of this Lease, as a sublease. This provision is self-operating; however, Xxxxxx agrees to execute any documents needed to confirm such sublease, and if the Master Lease is entered into and Third Party Tenant defaults thereunder, Tenant will attorn to Landlord, as substitute sublandlord, and, provided Tenant is not in default under the Lease after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant may remain in possession of the Tenant Space under the terms of the Lease, even if Landlord should terminate the Master Lease.
17.23 Non-Exclusive Remedies. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, no remedy which a party may have as set forth in this Lease is intended to be, nor shall be, exclusive of, or mutually exclusive with regard to, any other remedy which such party may have as set forth in this Lease.

Confidential Information includes all of Tenant’s Data, prices, trade secrets, databases, hardware, software, designs and techniques, programs, engine protocols, models, displays and manuals, and the selection, coordination and arrangement of the contents of such materials, and any unpublished information concerning research activities and plans, members, potential members, employees, customers, marketing or sales plans, product development or time to market, sales forecasts or results of marketing efforts, pricing or pricing strategies, costs, operational techniques, strategic plans, and unpublished financial information, including information concerning revenues, profits and profit margins. “Tenant’s Data” shall mean and refer to all of Tenant’s data, records and information to which Landlord has access, under this Lease in connection with Landlord’s provision of the Landlord’s Essential Services and Xxxxxxxx’s performance under this Lease.

(c) | has been or is hereafter rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third person (other than the Disclosing Party) without restriction or disclosure and without breach of a duty of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; or |

18.3 Use.
The parties agree to hold each other’s Confidential Information in strict confidence during the Term of this Lease and after any termination or expiration of this Lease. Each party recognizes the importance of the other’s Confidential Information and recognizes and agrees that the Confidential Information of the other party is critical to such other party’s business and that neither party would enter into this Lease without assurance that its Confidential Information and the value thereof will be protected as provided in this Section 18 (Confidentiality) and elsewhere in this Lease. Accordingly, each party agrees as follows:
(a) | the Receiving Party will hold any and all Confidential Information it obtains in strictest confidence and will use and permit use of Confidential Information solely for the purposes of this Lease; |
(b) | the Receiving Party may disclose or provide access to its responsible employees, attorneys, auditors, affiliates, lenders, prospective lenders, investors, prospective investors and prospective purchasers of the Property who have a need to know such Confidential Information in the ordinary course of the Receiving Party’s business; provided that, in any such case, the party disclosing Confidential Information shall advise the recipient of the fact that such information is Confidential Information under this Agreement and the party’s obligations under this Article 18; and |
(c) | the Receiving Party will notify the Disclosing Party of any actual or attempted unauthorized disclosure or use of the other party’s Confidential Information promptly after it becomes aware of such attempt or use, and will cooperate with the Disclosing Party, in any manner which the Disclosing Party reasonably requests and at no cost to the Receiving Party, to protect all proprietary rights in and ownership of its Confidential Information. |
18.4 Compelled Disclosures.

The Receiving Party will use reasonable efforts not to release Confidential Information pending the outcome of any measures taken by the Disclosing Party to contest, otherwise oppose, or seek to limit such disclosure by the Receiving Party and any subsequent disclosure or use of Confidential Information that may result from such disclosure. The Receiving Party will cooperate with and provide assistance to the Disclosing Party regarding such measures in such manner as the Disclosing Party may reasonably request, and at no cost to the Receiving Party.
18.5 Return of Confidential Information.

[***] Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential Treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
18.6 Non-Exclusive Equitable Remedy.
Each Party acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of Confidential Information there is no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations hereunder and that any such breach or threatened breach may result in irreparable harm to such Party and, therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat thereof, each Party will be entitled to seek and obtain appropriate equitable and injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving actual loss, in addition to whatever remedies either of them might have at law or equity.

VIRGINIA 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, any such notice or demand being hereby waived, to the extent that such waiver is allowed by Applicable Laws:
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 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 Xxxxxx, 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 Xxxxxx. 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 Event of Default, to the aforesaid exercise of dominion over Xxxxxx’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 (subject to Section 1.7 of this Exhibit “D”), as are all claims for damages by reason of any distress warrant, unlawful detainer proceedings, sequestration proceedings or other legal process, to the extent that such waiver is allowed by Applicable Laws. Xxxxxx agrees that any re-entry by Landlord may be pursuant to judgment obtained in unlawful 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 Xxxxxxxx’s election, either (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law):
(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 in good faith 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 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 (y) 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.
[***] Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential Treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
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 Xxxxxxxx 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 Xxxxxx 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 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, incurred by Landlord in good faith, 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 reasonable attorneys’ fees. Past due rental and other past due payments shall bear interest from maturity at the Default Rate (as defined in Schedule 1 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. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, subject to Applicable Laws, Landlord shall be entitled to a restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or to a decree compelling specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions.
1.7 Reletting. Xxxxxxxx agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the Tenant Space after Tenant vacates the Tenant Space in the event that the Lease is terminated based upon a 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." 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 (other than those which Tenant is expressly permitted to use under the Lease); or (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 the final and unappealable legal right to re-let the Tenant Space free of any claim of Tenant to occupy the Tenant Space.

COMMISSIONING CRITERIA
Commissioning consists of five general levels of activities summarized as follows:
Level 1 - Factory Testing
Manufacturers’ standard test reports will be reviewed prior to shipment of equipment to the site.
Level 2 - Component Verification
Individual system components are verified at the site upon delivery for compliance with the design specifications, drawings, and approved submittals or shop drawings.
Level 3 - System Construction Verification
As the components are assembled into individual systems, the construction or installation of the overall system is verified. This includes an evaluation of interconnection between components, physical arrangement, support and anchoring, and access and clearance.
Level 4 - Individual System and Major Equipment Operation Verification
Subsequent to the completion of construction and assembly of each individual system or major equipment element, it is started-up and tested for proper functional operation and performance.
Level 5 - Integrated Systems Operation Verification
The test procedures that comprise Level 5 commissioning are designed to simulate the operation of the Premises’ infrastructure during a full range of operational situations, including loss of utility services, single and multiple equipment failure, normal sequential changes to the equipment operation, and planned maintenance operations.
This effort is dependent upon the successful completion of all prior levels of commissioning. The assembly of appropriate documentation and certifications for the completion of Level Four commissioning will be a prerequisite.
Level 5 commissioning will typically be completed in four basic steps:
▪ | Initial planning |
▪ | Preparation of test procedures |
▪ | Implementation of tests |
▪ | Issuance by Commissioning Agent of the Commissioning Complete Letter. |
