Section 1.2 Term. This Lease shall commence on the date first above written (the "Commencement Date") and shall terminate on the date which is ten (10) years following the Occupancy Date unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of this Lease Agreement.
ARTICLE II
Section 2.1 Buildout of Premises. Lessor shall, at its cost, build a Colocation center in the Premises with an 18 inch raised floor that meets the electrical, HVAC and fire suppression requirements of this Lease. Lessor shall be responsible for the provision of fiber optic communications cable to the building but Lessee agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Lessor in keeping costs of installation of such cable to a minimum. Lessee shall have the right to approve the contractors and equipment installed by Lessor in the buildout of the Premises but such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Requests for approval shall be made in person or sent via email to Lessee's V.P., Technology. Lessee shall respond within two (2) business days to the sender. In the event that no response is given within two (2) business days, the proposed equipment or contractor shall be deemed approved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee and Lessor agree that the buildout of the Premises is intended to be at the standards set forth in this lease and otherwise used in Lessee's premises under the Original Co-Location Agreement. Lessor will work with Lessee to accommodate any desired increases in the standard of materials or equipment but such increases shall be subject to approval of Lessor and provided at the cost of Lessee.
ARTICLE III
Section 3.1 Rent. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor rent in the amount set forth on Exhibit A as "Base Rent". Rental payments shall commence on the Occupancy Date. If such commencement day for the payment of rentals occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, Lessee shall pay rent for the fractional calendar month involved on a per diem basis (calculated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month).
Section 3.2 Late Charge and Interest. Lessee acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of rent will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any encumbrance covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment or rent due from Lessee is not received by Lessor within five (5) days following the Due Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an additional sum of five percent (5%) of the overdue rent as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Lessor.
Rent not paid when due also shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the Due Date until paid. Any late charge also shall bear interest at the rate set forth above, commencing five (5) days following the Due Date.
Section 3.3 Returned Checks. In the event a check comes back due to insufficient funds, a service charge of $25 will be assessed to the Lessee.
