As of the first day of the seventh (7th) month of the Term (the “Premises-B Expansion Date”), in addition to Premises-A, the Premises shall be deemed to have been expanded to include approximately 2,750 additional square feet (as shown on Exhibit “A”, “Premises-B”) in the Datacenter. From and after the Premises-B Expansion Date, throughout the balance of the Term of the Lease (the “Prem A-B Period”), the “Premises” shall mean and consist of |
|||
-ii-
|
Premises-A, plus Premises-B (i.e., approximately 5,500 total s.f.).

The foregoing notwithstanding, (aa) for the purposes of calculating Tenant’s Electricity Consumption Threshold, the Premises shall be deemed to have been established as Premises-A on the Commencement Date, and shall be deemed to be increased during the Term of the Lease, in accordance with Items 1 through 2 of this Item 7(a); and (bb) in the event that Tenant exceeds any then current Electricity Consumption Threshold three (3) times in any five (5) day period (the date of such 3rd occurrence being referred to herein as an “Early Increase Date”), the Premises, Electricity Consumption Threshold and Base Rent shall, upon written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, be deemed to have automatically increased to the next level in succession as of the Early Increase Date. For example: Assuming a Commencement Date of November 1, 2007. If, on November 10, 2007 (i.e., during month 1 of the Term of the Lease), Tenant exceeds 300kW for the third time since November 5, 2007, the following would occur, as a result: (i) November 10, 2007 would be deemed to be an Early Increase Date; (ii) the Prem A Period would be deemed to have expired on November 10, 2007; (iii) the Premises-B Expansion Date would be deemed to be November 11, 2007; (iv) the first two Base Rent periods shown in Item 9, below, would be automatically revised, as follows: $41,250.00 per month from the Commencement Date through November 10th, 2007 (part of month 1 of the Term) $82,500.00 per month for the period November 11th, 2007 through October 31st, 2008 (part of month 1 of the Term and months 2-12 of the Term) (v) $27,500.00 of additional Base Rent for the month of November, 2007, would be due from Tenant to Landlord on November 11th, 2007. |

(ii) Additional Pathway: |
In the event that, at Tenant’s request, Landlord permits Tenant to use fiber or copper (or any other means of connection) in addition to the Pathway described in Item 7(b), above (any of the same, “Additional Pathway”), (i) Tenant shall pay Rent (defined in Section 3.3, below) with respect to such installations or use of such Additional Pathway in an amount equal to the then prevailing market rent in the Building established from time to time by Landlord as the rental rate for new installations and/or use of fiber, copper or other means of connection and (ii) the execution by Tenant of an amendment to this Lease describing such additional installations and/or uses of such Additional Pathway, adding such Additional Pathway and/or uses to the Tenant Space, and setting forth the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord with respect to such additional installations and/or uses of such Additional Pathway shall be a condition precedent to Tenant’s right to use such Additional Pathway for such additional installations and/or uses. | |||

For example: in the event that Tenant’s Initial Security is the Security Deposit, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right, once during the term of this Lease, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Landlord, to replace the Security Deposit with the Letter of Credit. Upon the providing of such notice, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord the Letter of Credit. Prior to the later to occur of (a) five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Letter of Credit, or (b) the expiration of the aforementioned thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant (or so much of the Security Deposit that, in accordance with Section 5 of the Standard Lease Provisions, below, remains at such point in time). From and after Tenant’s delivery of the Letter of Credit and Landlord’s return of the Security Deposit to Tenant, each, as described above, Tenant’s obligation to provide Landlord a current Letter of Credit shall govern throughout the balance of the Term of the Lease. Prepaid Rent: $41,250.00 due and payable upon Tenant’s execution of the Lease, consisting of the first month’s Base Rent. |

15. Eligibility Period: |
One day’s Rent for each one (1) hour period (or part thereof) during which an Interruption of Landlord’s Service has occurred and is continuing, up to a maximum of three (3) days’ abatement for each twenty-four (24) hour period of such interruption. For example: (a) if such Interruption of Landlord’s Service continues for one (1) minute, one (1) day’s Rent shall be abated; (b) if such Interruption of Landlord’s Service continues for a consecutive period of sixty (60) minutes, one (1) additional day’s Rent shall be abated; (c) if such Interruption of Landlord’s Service continues for a consecutive period of one-hundred twenty (120) minutes, one (1) additional day’s Rent shall be abated; and (d) if such Interruption of Landlord’s Service continues for a consecutive period of twenty-four (24) hours and one minute (and for each period of twenty-four (24) hours thereafter during which such Interruption of Landlord’s Service continues – whether such Interruption of Landlord’s Service is continuous, or whether there are brief periods of service followed by further interruptions related to the same initial root cause (i.e., a specific PDU has become inoperable, or a specific CRAC unit has become inoperable) [all such subsequent Interruption of Landlord’s Service are deemed to be the “Same Interruption”]), one (1) additional day’s Rent shall be abated for each of the first (1st) three (3) hours of each successive twenty- |
|||
-v-
|
four (24) hour period of the Same Interruption. The maximum Rent abatement for any twenty-four (24) hour period during which an Interruption of Landlord’s Service occurs, regardless of the number or length of Interruption of Landlord’s Service stemming from the Same Interruption in such twenty-four (24) hour period, shall not exceed three (3) days’ Rent, in accordance with (a)-(d), above. The foregoing notwithstanding, Interruption of Landlord’s Service that are not the “Same Interruption” shall entitle Tenant to the abatement rights described above with regard to each Independent Interruption (defined below). For example: if (aa) a specific PDU becomes inoperable due to an internal electrical malfunction, causing some or all of Tenant’s operations to lose power, and (bb) a specific CRAC unit becomes inoperable due to a lack of the necessary cooling agent, causing a rise in the temperature of the Premises above that which is described in Item 4(a) of Exhibit “F”, such that Tenant cuts power to its operating equipment in order to protect such equipment from the effects of high temperatures (and such lack of cooling agent is not directly caused by the inoperable PDU), then (aa) and (bb) would be considered “Independent Interruptions”. |

Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event that the Commencement Date Conditions have not occurred prior to December 31, 2007, subject to extension related to Tenant Delay (defined below) and Force Majeure (not to exceed 60 days of Force Majeure), Tenant shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of such termination to Landlord. Should the Commencement Date Conditions occur prior to Tenant’s exercise of the foregoing termination right, however, such termination right shall, in such event, expire and be of no further force or effect upon such occurrence of the Commencement Date Conditions. For the purposes of this Lease, “Tenant Delay” shall mean a delay in Landlord’s completion of the Commencement Date Conditions, which is attributable to or caused by any change order by Tenant.
2.2.3 Tenant acknowledges that Tenant shall be responsible for installing, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any and all work (other than the completion of the Commencement Date Conditions) for the Premises (collectively, the “Tenant Work”). Sections 2.2, 2.2.1 & 2.2.2, above, notwithstanding, Landlord agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, to permit Tenant and its contractors, subcontractors, space planner/interior architect, engineers, consultants, vendors, suppliers and other representatives, and their respective employees to enter and occupy the Premises, prior to the Commencement Date (“Early Access”), for the purposes of inspecting same and for performing Tenant Work, including the installation of fixtures and equipment (e.g., telephone, communications and computer equipment and the wiring and cabling for same), on and after the date upon which Landlord notifies Tenant, verbally or otherwise, that the Premises is dust-free and safe for Tenant’s occupancy, as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, but not before Tenant’s Early Access would materially delay Landlord’s ability to complete the Commencement Date Conditions on or before the Target Commencement Date (the date upon which Landlord provides such notice of Early Access is referred to herein as the “Early Access Date”; the period between the Early Access Date and the Commencement Date is referred to herein as the “Early Access Period”). Any such permission shall constitute a license only, conditioned upon Tenant’s:
(a) working in harmony with Landlord and Landlord’s agents, contractors, workmen, mechanics and suppliers; and
(b) furnishing Landlord with such insurance as Landlord may reasonably require against liabilities which may arise out of such entry; provided that, in no event shall such insurance requirements exceed those that are described on Exhibit “B”, attached hereto.
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. Additionally, Tenant agrees that, 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. Tenant’s Early Access right is subject to Tenant executing and delivering to Landlord a Memorandum of Understanding in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “E-2”.
2.3 Extension Option.
2.3.1 Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.3, Tenant shall have the number of options (each, an “Extension Option”) specified in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Information to extend the Term of this Lease with respect to the entire Tenant Space, each for an
-2-
additional term of forty-eight (48) calendar months (collectively the “Extension Terms”, each an “Extension Term”), upon the same terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the then current Term of this Lease (except as provided otherwise herein). The Base Rent payable with respect to the Tenant Space for each year of the Extension Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be increased hereunder as of the first (1st) day of each such year to be equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Base Rent payable for the immediately preceding year of the Term of the Lease, as extended.
2.3.2 Tenant may exercise each Extension Option only by delivering to Landlord a written notice (an “Option Exercise Notice”) at least nine (9) calendar months (and not more than twelve (12) calendar months) prior to then applicable expiration date of the Term, which Option Exercise Notice shall specify that Tenant is irrevocably exercising its Extension Option so as to extend the Term of this Lease by an Extension Term on the terms set forth in this Section 2.3. In the event that Tenant shall duly exercise an Extension Option, the Term shall be extended to include the applicable Extension Term (and all references to the Term in this Lease shall be deemed to refer to the Term specified in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Information, plus all duly exercised Extension Terms). In the event that Tenant shall fail to deliver an Option Exercise Notice within the applicable time period specified herein for the delivery thereof, time being of the essence, at the election of Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed to have forever waived and relinquished such Extension Option, and any other options or rights to renew or extend the Term effective after the then applicable expiration date of the Term shall terminate and shall be of no further force or effect.
2.3.3 Tenant shall have the right to exercise any Extension Option only with respect to the entire Tenant Space leased by Tenant at the time that Tenant delivers an 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 Option Exercise Notice or on the date on which the Option Term is scheduled to commence there shall be an uncured Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease
3. BASE RENT AND OTHER CHARGES.
3.1 Base Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord base rent (the “Base Rent”) for the Tenant Space in the amount set forth in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Information. All such Base Rent shall be paid to Landlord in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each and every month throughout the Term of this Lease; provided, however, that (a) the first full monthly installment of Base Rent shall be payable upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease and (b) if the Term of this Lease does not commence on the first day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for such partial calendar month shall (i) be calculated on a per diem basis determined by dividing the Base Rent above by the actual number of days in such month and multiplying such amount by the number of days remaining in such calendar month from and after (and including) the Commencement Date, and (ii) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on the Commencement Date. Except as set forth in this Section 3.1, Tenant shall not pay any installment of Rent (defined in Section 3.3, below) more than one (1) month in advance.
3.2 Installation Fee/Other Charges. In addition to paying the Base Rent, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the one-time installation fee and any other charges specified in Item 10 of the Basic Lease Information as partial consideration for the fixturization of the Datacenter as set forth on Exhibit “E” attached hereto and Landlord’s costs in connection with this Lease and Tenant’s commencement of operations within the Tenant Space
3.3 Payments Generally. Base Rent, all forms of Additional Rent (defined in this Section 3.3, below) payable hereunder by Tenant and all other amounts, fees, payments or charges payable hereunder by Tenant shall (i) each constitute rent payable hereunder (and shall sometimes collectively be referred to herein as “Rent”), (ii) be payable to Landlord when due without any prior notice or demand therefor (except as provided herein) in lawful money of the United States without any abatement, offset or
-3-
deduction whatsoever (except as specifically provided otherwise herein), and (iii) be payable to Landlord at the address of Landlord specified in Item 17 of the Basic Lease Information (or to such other person or to such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing to Tenant. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease, the service of any notice, the commencement of any suit, or a final judgment for possession shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease or affect any such notice, demand, suit or judgment. No partial payment by Tenant shall be deemed to be other than on account of the full amount otherwise due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord shall be entitled to accept such payment without compromise or prejudice to any of the rights of Landlord hereunder or under any Applicable Laws (defined in Section 6.3.1, below). In the event that the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date (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. For purposes of this Lease, all amounts (other than Base Rent) payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, whether or not denominated as such, shall constitute “Additional Rent.” All Rent payable hereunder, except for Base Rent and except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, shall be payable in arrears within thirty (30) day of invoice by Landlord.
3.4 Late Payments. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Base Rent or Additional Rent (or any other sums due hereunder) will cause Landlord to incur administrative costs not contemplated under this Lease and other damages, the exact amount of which would be extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Landlord and Tenant agree that if Landlord does not receive any such payment on or before the date that is five (5) days after the date on which such payment is due (a “Late Charge Delinquency”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, (i) a late charge (“Late Charge”) equal to five percent (5%) of the amount overdue to cover such additional administrative costs and damages, and (ii) interest on all such delinquent amounts at an interest rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (a) one and one-half percent (1 1/2 %) per month or (b) the maximum lawful rate from the date such amounts are first delinquent until the date the same are paid. In no event, however, shall the charges permitted under this Article 3 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 interest pursuant to this Section 3.4, shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder or under any Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord agrees to waive the default interest and late charges for one (1) late payment hereunder during any consecutive twelve (12) calendar month period during the Term provided such late payment is paid in full within five (5) business days after written notice to Tenant of such failure.
3.5 Electrical Power. Tenant shall pay for all electricity provided to and/or used in the Tenant Space, as set forth herein. An electrical metering device (or electrical metering devices) (collectively, the “Electrical Metering Equipment”) compatible with Landlord’s energy management system for monitoring electricity provided to and/or used in the Tenant Space shall be installed by Tenant at Tenant’s cost. Landlord shall bill Tenant monthly for the actual cost of all electricity provided to and/or used in the Tenant Space based upon the Electrical Metering Equipment (the “Actual Electrical Costs”), plus a cost-recovery factor equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Actual Electrical Costs (the “Shared Electrical Payment”; together with the Actual Electrical Costs, collectively, the “Power Payment”). Tenant shall pay the Power Payment to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days of delivery of such Power Payment invoice. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Shared Electrical Payment is intended to reimburse Landlord for electricity used by certain equipment within the Tenant Space and/or by equipment located outside the Tenant Space but serving the Tenant Space, which usage, in either case, is commercially impractical of being metered because it utilizes equipment and/or facilities designed to serve more area of the Building than just the Tenant Space (the “Shared Electrical Equipment”). For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the parties that this Section 3.5 represents a mechanism only for Landlord’s cost recovery with regard to electrical power provided to and/or used in or for the Tenant Space, and that there is no intent for Tenant’s Power Payment to include any element of profit to the Landlord in connection therewith.

4. TAX ON TENANT’S EQUIPMENT; OTHER TAXES.
4.1 Equipment Taxes. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay at least ten (10) days before delinquency (and Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from and against any Claims (defined in Section 14.2, below) arising out of, in connection with, or in any manner related to) all governmental fees, taxes, tariffs and other charges levied directly or indirectly against any personal property, fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems, connections, interconnections and appurtenances located in or used by Tenant in or in connection with the Tenant Space. If any such taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord’s property, and if Landlord elects to pay the same, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days of Landlord’s demand therefor, that part of such taxes for which Tenant is liable hereunder.
4.2 Additional Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent and within ten (10) days of Landlord’s demand therefor, and in such manner and at such times as Landlord shall direct from time to time by written notice to Tenant, any excise, sales, privilege, margin or other tax, assessment or other charge imposed, assessed or levied by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or agency upon Landlord on account of (i) the Rent (and other amounts) payable by Tenant hereunder (or any other benefit received by Landlord hereunder), including, without limitation, any gross receipts tax, license fee or excise tax levied by any governmental authority, (ii) this Lease, Landlord’s business as a lessor hereunder, and the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy of any portion of the Tenant Space (including, without limitation, any applicable possessory interest taxes), (iii) this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Tenant Space, or (iv) otherwise in respect of or as a result of the agreement or relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be responsible for the payment of any federal and state income taxes, franchise taxes, excess profits taxes gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, and other taxes applied or measured by Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to taxes applied or measured by Landlord’s rents, receipts, or income attributable to operations at the Building and/or taxes that are commonly referred to as “margin” taxes or “net profits” taxes).
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT; LETTER OF CREDIT.
5.1 In the event that Tenant elects to deposit the amount specified in Item 11 of the Basic Lease Information as a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”), the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall apply to the Security Deposit. Landlord shall hold the Security Deposit as security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of default by Tenant. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without liability to Tenant for interest, and Landlord may commingle such deposit with any other funds held by Landlord. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (defined in Section 15.1 below), Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, apply the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of Base Rent, Additional Rent, and any other payment, damage, injury, expense or liability caused to Landlord by such Event of Default. Following any application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to the amount thereof immediately prior to such application. Subject to the requirements of, and conditions imposed by, governmental laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits under commercial leases (the “Applicable Security Deposit Laws”), Landlord shall, within the time required by Applicable Security Deposit Laws, or if no such requirement, within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term of this Lease (or the earlier termination of this Lease), return to Tenant the portion (if any) of the Security Deposit remaining after deducting all damages, charges and other amounts owing by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that such deductions shall include, without limitation, all damages and losses that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any default under this Lease by Tenant. If Landlord transfers Landlord’s interest in the Tenant Space during the Term of this Lease (including any extension thereof), Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee, and upon such transfer and the delivery to Tenant of an acknowledgement of the
-5-
transferee’s responsibility for the Security Deposit, Landlord shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit. In the event the provisions of any Applicable Security Deposit Laws, or other provisions of Law, now or hereinafter in force, which restricts the amount or types of claims that a landlord may make upon a security deposit or imposes upon a landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to the handling or return of security deposits, conflict with the terms and conditions of this Section 5, the terms and conditions of this Section 5 shall govern.
6. USE.
6.1 Permitted Use. Subject to the terms of this Lease, including, specifically, Sections 1.3 and 6.3.1, Tenant shall be entitled to use the Tenant Space only for the placement, maintenance and operation of computer, switc
