Tenant agrees that in no manner, expressed or implied, shall Landlord have any responsibility for any and all storage tanks located now or in the future on the Leased Premises (the “Storage Tanks”), including the maintenance, operation, and as applicable, the Storage Tank Removal. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all claims and damages in any way relating to the construction, maintenance, operation of any Storage Tanks on the Leased Premises and if applicable, the Storage Tank Removal, including claims and damages from subsurface and groundwater conditions relating to any of the construction, maintenance, operation and, if applicable, the Storage Tank Removal. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or expiration of the Lease.

(g) At all times, Tenant shall cause the Storage Tanks, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to be maintained and operated in accordance with all applicable Laws and all Legal Requirements, but not limited to, making any changes thereto as may be required from time to time by such applicable Laws, Legal Requirements, ordinances or other requirements.

(h) Prior to the end of the Term (but not more than sixty (60) days prior thereto), Tenant shall furnish Landlord with an environmental report (which report shall be customary at the time it is furnished) reasonably acceptable to Landlord which report must indicate that the Storage Tanks are not leaking, or, if any leakage is detected, that areas in which the Storage Tanks are located are not contaminated above reportable levels by any leakage from the Storage Tanks and to the extent such report reveals that there are any Hazardous Substance in such areas, Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sold cost and expense, for removing and remediating such areas in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord (including repairing any damage to the Leased Premises in connection.

(i) All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord relating to the review, approval, monitoring or implementation and monitoring of the Storage Tanks shall be paid for by Tenant promptly upon demand, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 9(b) hereof, Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, create or permit to be created or to remain and shall promptly after notice thereof discharge or remove, any lien, levy or encumbrance on the Leased Premises or on any Rent or any other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, other than the Permitted Encumbrances and any mortgage, lien, encumbrance or other charge created by or resulting solely from any act or omission of Landlord. In the event of attachment of a mechanic’s lien or other lien for labor, services or materials furnished to Tenant or to anyone holding or occupying the Leased Premises through or under Tenant, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord and Lender of such lien or other action of which Tenant has or reasonably should have knowledge and which affects title to the Leased Premises or any part thereof, and shall cause the same to be removed within ten (10) days (or such additional time as Landlord and Lender may consent to in writing) of notice of such lien. If Tenant shall fail to remove such lien within said time period, Landlord or Lender may take such action as Landlord or Lender, as applicable, deem necessary to remove the same and the entire cost thereof shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord or Lender, as applicable, and such amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(b) Tenant shall execute, deliver and record, file or register all such instruments as may be required or permitted by any present or future Law in order to evidence the respective interests of Landlord and Tenant in the Leased Premises, and shall cause a memorandum of this Lease (or, if such a memorandum cannot be recorded, this Lease), and any supplement hereto or thereto, to be recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required or permitted by any present or future Law in order to protect the validity and priority of this Lease.

(a) Tenant shall at all times maintain the Leased Premises and the Equipment in Good Condition and Repair and in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Tenant shall take every action reasonably necessary or appropriate for the preservation and safety of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall promptly make all Alterations of every kind and nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, which may be required to comply with the foregoing requirements of this Section 11(a). Landlord shall not be required to make any Alteration, whether foreseen or unforeseen, or to maintain any of the Leased Premises. Tenant hereby expressly waives any right which may be provided for in any Law now or hereafter in effect to make Alterations at the expense of Landlord or, to require Landlord to make Alterations. Any Alteration made by Tenant pursuant to this Section 11 shall be made in conformity with the provisions of Section 12.

(b) If any Improvement hereafter constructed, shall (i) encroach upon any setback or any property, street or right-of-way adjoining the Leased Premises, (ii) violate the provisions of any restrictive covenant affecting the Leased Premises, (iii) hinder or obstruct any easement or right-of-way to which the Leased Premises is subject or (iv) impair the rights of others in, to or under any of the foregoing, Tenant shall, promptly after receiving notice thereof, either (A) obtain from all necessary parties waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such encroachment, violation, hindrance, obstruction or impairment, whether the same shall affect Landlord, Tenant or both, or (B) take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to remove all such encroachments, hindrances or obstructions and to end all such violations or impairments, including, if necessary, making Alterations. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to correct any of the foregoing conditions to the extent that any one or more of them exist prior to the Commencement Date and that Tenant shall continue to be bound by the terms of this Lease regardless of the existence of any such pre-existing conditions.

(c) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it is Tenant’s responsibility to keep the Leased Premises in Good Condition and Repair and in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Landlord shall not perform any repairs, modifications or improvements to the Leased Premises, unless (i) Tenant has failed to take the necessary actions to maintain the Leased Premises in Good Condition and Repair, after fifteen (15) days advance written notice from Landlord, or (ii) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment such actions are required on an emergency basis to protect life or property and Tenant is not responding to such emergency; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall Landlord be obligated to perform any repairs, modifications or improvements to the Leased Premises or keep the Leased Premises in Good Condition and Repair.

(a) Landlord has reviewed and approved the initial alterations contemplated by Tenant as described on Exhibit “F” (the “Initial Alterations”), comprising at least $40,000,000.00 in hard costs and soft costs (which soft costs shall not exceed customary and commercially reasonable amounts) and which shall among other things, upgrade, improve and enhance the value of the Building C, Building E and Building F, and acknowledges that such Initial Alterations shall not require further approval by Landlord but that Tenant shall deliver to

Landlord the as-built drawings in CAD and hard copy and copies of any permits for such Initial Alterations upon completion thereof, as required below. Tenant shall not remove any portion of the Initial Alterations at the end of the Term and such Initial Alterations shall become a part of the Leased Premises and Landlord’s property. Tenant shall be required to complete the Initial Alterations on or before December 31, 2007, subject to reasonable extensions for force majeure delays, and in accordance with this Section 12. In connection with the Initial Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord and Lender, if not otherwise previously provided, with a copy the plans and specifications and budget for the Initial Alterations.

(b) Tenant shall have the right, without having obtained the prior written consent of Landlord and provided that no Event of Default then exists, (i) to make any improvements, alterations or modifications to the Premises the cost of which is less than Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (so long as such improvements do not devalue the Leased Premises or increase Landlord’s obligations or liability during or after the Term in any way), (ii) to make non-structural Alterations which are reasonably required or desirable for the operation of Tenant’s business in the Leased Premises and which are not visible from the exterior of the Leased Premises, or (iii) to install or replace Equipment in the Improvements or accessions to the Equipment. If Tenant desires to make Alterations to the Leased Premises which are not covered by clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the prior written approval of Landlord shall be required which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant shall not construct upon the Land any additional buildings without having first obtained the prior written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant is in the business of providing telecommunications and collocation services to its customers. Over the Term of this Lease it is likely that, due to technological innovations, the nature of these services and/or the equipment or facilities required to perform these services in an optimal manner may change. Landlord acknowledges that any Alterations required to accommodate such changes in Tenant’s business shall be deemed reasonable so long as they do not impair the value of the Leased Premises. An Alteration will not be deemed to impair the value of the Leased Premises, if the Alteration can be removed at the end of the Term, and the Leased Premises can be reasonably restored to their condition prior to such Alteration.

(c) If Tenant makes any Alterations pursuant to this Section 12 or as required by Sections 11 or 16 (such Alterations and actions being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Work”), then prior to commencing any Work, Tenant shall (i) submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s written approval, where required, detailed plans and specifications therefor in form satisfactory to Landlord, (ii) if such Alterations require a filing with any Governmental Authority or require the consent of such authority, then such plans and specifications shall (A) be prepared and certified by a registered architect or licensed engineer, and (B) comply with all Laws to the extent necessary for such governmental filing or consent, (iii) at its expense, obtain all required permits, approvals and certificates, (iv) furnish to Landlord duplicate original policies or certificates of insurance evidencing worker’s compensation coverage (covering all persons to be employed by Tenant, and all contractors and subcontractors supplying materials or performing work in connection with such Alterations) and comprehensive public liability (including property damage coverage) insurance, comprehensive form automobile liability

insurance and Builder’s Risk coverage (issued on a completed value basis) all in such form, with such companies, for such periods and in such amounts as Landlord may require, naming Landlord and its employees and agents as additional insureds. All Alterations shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (A) in a good and workmanlike manner using materials of first class quality, (B) in compliance with all Laws, and (C) in accordance with the plans and specifications previously approved by Landlord. Tenant shall at its cost and expense obtain all approvals, consents and permits from every Governmental Authority having or claiming jurisdiction prior to, during and upon completion of such Alterations. If any such Work involves the replacement of existing Equipment or parts thereto, and except in instances where such Equipment is obsolete, all replacement Equipment or parts shall have a functional value and useful life equal to the lesser of (A) the functional value and useful life on the date hereof of the Equipment being replaced or (B) the functional value and useful life of the Equipment being replaced immediately prior to the occurrence of the event which required its replacement (assuming such replaced Equipment was then in the condition required by this Lease). Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent and upon demand, for any and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s review of Tenant’s plans and specifications for any such Alteration, not to exceed fifteen hundred dollars ($1500).

(d) Landlord agrees to respond to any written request for approval of all Tenant’s plans and specifications for any Alterations (“Tenant’s Plans”) within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s request, provided Tenant’s Plans comply in all material respects with the requirements of this Section 12. In addition, Landlord agrees to respond to any resubmission of Tenant’s Plans within five (5) Business Days after written resubmission. If Landlord either fails to approve or disapprove any Tenant’s Plans on or before the end of the applicable review period set forth herein, such Tenant’s Plans or revisions thereto shall be deemed to be approved by Landlord. Tenant may at the time that any Tenant’s Plans are submitted to Landlord also request that Landlord indicate whether or not the Alterations described in such Tenant’s Plans will be required to be removed at the end of the Term or upon the earlier termination of this Lease. In the event that any Alterations or new equipment are in the category that do not require Landlord’s consent for the construction or installation thereof, Tenant may remove such items at the end of the Term, at Tenant’s election.

(e) Upon completion of any Alterations and any work pursuant to this Section 12, Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly obtain certificates of final approval of such Alterations as may be required by any Governmental Authority, and shall furnish Landlord with copies thereof, together with “as built” plans and specifications for such Alterations prepared on an Autocad Computer Assisted Drafting and Design System (or such other system or medium as Landlord may accept).

(f) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, at the request of Landlord remove all, or a portion of (as specified in such request), Alterations made during the Term of this Lease and restore the Leased Premises to their condition as of the date hereof, normal wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to remove the following at the end of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease: (i) Initial Alterations, (ii) Alterations which Landlord has previously agreed to in writing that Tenant shall not be required to remove,

and (iii) Alterations which are substantially consistent in form or function to the Improvements existing as of the date hereof or the Initial Alterations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant shall not be permitted to remove any Initial Alterations and improvements and equipment existing on the Leased Premises as of the date hereof or any new improvements or equipment added subsequent to the date hereof which are necessary for the operation of the IBX Facility or Commercial Facility (except to the extent replaced or removed prior to the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with the provisions hereof) and all Alterations remaining on the Leased Premises at the end of the Term of this Lease shall become the property of Landlord at such time.

13. Approved Alterations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification contained in this Section 14(a) shall not cover any of the foregoing that result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the breach by Landlord of any provision of this Lease.

(b) In case any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnitee by reason of any such claim, (i) such Indemnitee shall notify Tenant to resist or defend such action or proceeding by retaining counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, and such Indemnitee will cooperate, at no cost to such Indemnitee, and assist in the defense of such action or proceeding if reasonably requested to do so by Tenant, and (ii) Tenant may, except in the event of a conflict of interest or a bona fide dispute between Tenant and any such Indemnitee or during the continuance of an Event of Default, retain its own counsel and defend such action (it being understood that Landlord may employ counsel of its choice to monitor the defense of any such action, the reasonable cost of which shall be paid by Tenant in the event of a conflict of interest, a bona fide dispute between Landlord and Tenant or during the continuance of an Event of Default). In the event of a conflict of interest or dispute or during the continuance of an Event of Default or Tenant’s request that Landlord handle its own defense, Landlord shall have the right to select counsel, and the cost of such counsel shall be paid by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not enter into any settlement which would affect Landlord or the Leased Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

The perils covered by this policy shall be the same as those accepted on the Leased Premises including flood, earthquake and earth movement.

(vi) During any period in which any Alterations at the Leased Premises are being undertaken, Tenant will obtain commercial general liability insurance including contractual liability, in the amount of $1,000,000 primary and $10,000,000 excess liability in the aggregate (the policy shall provide coverage on an occurrence basis against claims for personal injury, bodily injury and death or property damage occurring on, in or about the Leased Premises and the adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways. In addition, Tenant shall require all contractors and subcontractors, architects and engineers to provide appropriate insurance coverage), including Builder’s risk insurance on a completed value basis protecting against “all risks” of physical loss, including collapse during construction, water damage, flood, earthquake and transit coverage (coverage should be on a non-reporting form, covering the total value of work performed and equipment, supplies and materials furnished (with an appropriate limit for soft costs in the case of construction) with deductibles approved by Landlord).

(xi) Such other insurance (or other terms with respect to any insurance required pursuant to this Section 15, including, without limitation, amounts of coverage, deductibles, form of mortgagee clause) on or in connection with the Leased Premises as Landlord may reasonably require, which at the time is usual and commonly obtained in connection with properties similar in type of building size, use and location to the Leased Premises.

(b) The insurance required by Section 15(a) shall be written by companies which have a Best’s rating of A with a financial size of Class X or above or a comparable claims paying ability assigned by Standard & Poor’s Corporation or equivalent rating agency approved by Landlord and are admitted in, and approved to write insurance policies by, the State Insurance Department for the state in which the Leased Premises are located. The insurance policies (i) shall be for such terms as Landlord may reasonably approve, (ii) shall be primary and without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of Landlord (if any), and (iii) shall be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any coinsurance requirements thereof.

The insurance referred to in Sections 15(a)(ii) and 15(a)(viii) shall name Landlord as an additional insured.

(c) Each policy required by any provision of Section 15(a), except clause (iii) thereof, shall provide that it may not be cancelled on any renewal date except after thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Landlord. Each such policy shall also provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any change in title to or ownership of the Leased Premises and, to the extent available, shall provided that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding (i) any act or omission of Landlord or Tenant which might, absent such provision, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment, and (ii) the occupation or use of the Leased Premises for purposes more hazardous than those permitted by the provisions of such policy.

(d) Tenant shall pay as they become due all premiums for the insurance required by Section 15(a), shall renew or replace each policy and upon written request deliver to Landlord evidence of timely payment of the full premium therefor or installment then due and shall promptly deliver to Landlord all original certificates of insurance.

(e) Anything in this Section 15 to the contrary notwithstanding, any insurance which Tenant is required to obtain pursuant to Section 15(a) may be carried under a “blanket” or umbrella policy or policies covering other properties or liabilities of Tenant, provided that such “blanket” or umbrella policy or policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 15 and provided further that Tenant shall provide to Landlord a Statement of Values which shall be reviewed annually and amended as necessary based on Replacement Cost Valuations. Upon written request, a certified copy of each such “blanket” or umbrella policy shall promptly be delivered to Landlord.

(f) Tenant shall have the replacement cost and insurable value of the Improvements and Equipment determined from time to time as required by the replacement cost and agreed amount endorsements and shall deliver to Landlord the new replacement cost and agreed amount endorsement or certificate evidencing such endorsement promptly upon Tenant’s receipt thereof.

(g) Tenant shall promptly comply with and conform to (i) all provisions of each insurance policy required by this Section 15 and (ii) all requirements of the insurers thereunder applicable to Landlord, Tenant or the Leased Premises or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of the Leased Premises, even if such compliance necessitates Alterations or results in interference with the use or enjoyment of the Leased Premises.

(h) Tenant shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of a Casualty with that required in this Section 15 unless (i) Landlord are included therein as named insureds, with loss payable as provided herein, and (ii) such separate insurance complies with the other provisions of this Section 15. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of such separate insurance and shall deliver to Landlord the certified copies of such certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage.

(i) All policies shall contain effective waivers by the carrier against all claims for insurance premiums against Landlord and shall contain full waivers of subrogation against the Landlord.

(j) All proceeds of any insurance required under Section 15(a) shall be payable as follows:

(i) Proceeds payable under clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 15(a) and proceeds attributable to the general liability coverage of Builder’s Risk insurance under clause (vi) of Section 15(a) shall be payable to the Person entitled to receive such proceeds.

(ii) Proceeds of insurance required under clause (i) and (vii) - (x) of Section 15(a) and proceeds attributable to Builder’s Risk insurance (other than its general liability coverage provisions) under clause (vi) of Section 15(a) shall be payable to Landlord and applied as set forth in Section 17 or, if applicable, Section 18. Tenant shall apply the Net Award to restoration of the Leased Premises in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease unless a Termination Event shall have occurred and Tenant has given a Termination Notice in which case the Landlord shall be entitled to keep the Net Award.

(iii) Proceeds of insurance required under clause (v) of Section 15(a) shall be payable to Landlord, and any amounts so received shall be applied against Basic Rent as the same shall become due and owing.

(a) If any Casualty to the Leased Premises occurs the insurance proceeds for which are reasonably estimated by Tenant to be equal to or in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists, Tenant is hereby authorized to adjust, collect and compromise all claims under any of the insurance policies required by Section 15(a) (except public liability insurance claims payable to a Person other than Tenant, or Landlord) and to execute and deliver on behalf of Landlord all necessary proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases required by the insurers and Landlord shall have the right to join with Tenant therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any final adjustment, settlement or compromise of any such claim that is in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord. If an Event of Default exists, Tenant shall not be entitled to adjust, collect or compromise any such claim or to participate with Landlord in any adjustment, collection and compromise of the Net Award payable in connection with a Casualty. Tenant agrees to sign, upon the request of Landlord, all such proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases. Each insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said policies, excluding return of unearned premiums, directly to Landlord and Tenant jointly, and Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to endorse any draft therefor.

(b) Tenant, promptly upon receiving a Condemnation Notice, shall notify Landlord thereof. Landlord shall be authorized to collect, settle and compromise the

amount of any Net Award and, provided that so long as an Event of Default does not exist, Tenant shall be entitled to participate with Landlord in any Condemnation proceeding or negotiations under threat thereof or to contest the Condemnation or the amount of the Net Award therefor. Subject to the provisions of this Section 16(b), Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any award or payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by reason of any Condemnation, whether the same shall be paid or payable for Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise; but nothing in this Lease shall impair Tenant’s right to any award or payment on account of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment or other tangible property which is not part of the Equipment, moving expenses or loss of business, if available, to the extent that and so long as (i) Tenant shall have the right to make, and does make, a separate claim therefor against the condemnor and (ii) such claim does not in any way reduce either the amount of the award otherwise payable to Landlord for the Condemnation of Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Premises or the amount of the award (if any) otherwise payable for the Condemnation of Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder.

(c) If any Partial Casualty (whether or not insured against) or Partial Condemnation shall occur to the Leased Premises, this Lease shall continue, notwithstanding such event, and the Basic Rent payable hereunder shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any reduction in the net rentable area of the Improvements that is unavailable for Tenant’s use and occupancy if the lost use of such space adversely affects Tenant’s ability to operate its business in a material manner, as a result of such Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation, but only to the extent Landlord receives the insurance proceeds under Section 15(a)(v) to cover the lost Basic Rent and if any such insurance proceeds relating to lost Basic Rent (or lost profits but only to the extent of Basic Rent due and payable) are paid to Tenant, Tenant shall pay such sums to Landlord, and only for so long as Tenant’s use and occupancy is adversely affected. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, Tenant’s Basic Rent shall not abate or be reduced during Tenant’s restoration of the Improvements. Promptly after such Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation, Tenant, as required in Section 11(a), shall commence and diligently continue to restore the Leased Premises as nearly as possible to their value, condition and character immediately prior to such event (assuming the Leased Premises to have been in the condition required by this Lease), and so long as no Event of Default exists, any Net Award up to and including $500,000 shall be paid by Landlord directly to Tenant for the purpose of paying the cost of such restoration, provided, that Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any shortfall to the extent the Net Award is insufficient to cover the cost of the restoration or Tenant shall provide Landlord with adequate security to secure the payment of such shortfall as and when required by Landlord. Any Net Award in excess of $500,000 shall (unless such Casualty and Condemnation resulting in the Net Award is a Termination Event) be made available by Landlord to Tenant for the restoration of the Leased Premises pursuant to and in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 18(b) hereof.

(a) If (i) all of the Leased Premises shall be taken by a Taking, (ii) all of the Leased Premises shall be substantially damaged or destroyed by a Casualty, (iii) any portion of the Leased Premises shall be taken by a Taking and the remaining portion of the Leased Premises is unsuitable or uneconomical for the continuation of Tenant’s business therein,

or (iv) any portion of the Leased Premises is destroyed or damaged by a Casualty and the estimated time to repair or replace the Leased Premises is in excess of one (1) year, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, or under applicable law the Leased Premises cannot be rebuilt to a condition that is suitable and economical for the operation of Tenant’s business therein (each of the events described in the above clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Termination Event”), then Tenant shall have the option, within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice, or within thirty (30) days after the Casualty, as the case may be, to give to Landlord written notice (a “Termination Notice”) in the form described in Section 17(b) of the Tenant’s election to terminate this Lease.

(b) A Termination Notice shall contain notice of Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease on the first Basic Rent Payment Date occurring after the date of such Termination Notice.

(a) In the event that the Lease is not terminated as a result of any Condemnation or Casualty as provided in Section 17 above, Landlord shall hold any Net Award in excess of $500,000 in a fund (the “Restoration Fund”) and disburse amounts from the Restoration Fund only in accordance with the following conditions:

(i) prior to commencement of restoration, (A) the architects, contracts, contractors, plans and specifications for the restoration shall have been approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and (B) if requested by Landlord, Landlord shall be provided with acceptable performance and payment bonds which insure completion of and payment for the restoration, are in an amount and form and have a surety acceptable to Landlord, and name Landlord as additional dual obligees;

(ii) at the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist and no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens shall have been filed against the Leased Premises and remain undischarged, subject to Tenant’s rights under Section 14 hereof;

(iii) disbursements shall be made monthly in an amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last disbursement, upon receipt of (A) satisfactory evidence, including architects’ certificates, of the stage of completion, the estimated total cost of completion and performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications, (B) waivers of liens, (C) contractors’ and subcontractors’ sworn statements as to completed work and the cost thereof for which payment is requested and (D) a satisfactory bring-down of title insurance;

(iv) each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant, signed by an officer of Tenant, describing the work for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith, stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work and, upon completion of the work, also stating that the work has been fully completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease;

(v) Landlord may retain ten percent (10%) of the Restoration Fund until the restoration is fully completed;

(vi) the Restoration Fund shall not be commingled with Landlord’s other funds and shall bear interest at a rate agreed to by Landlord and Tenant;

(vii) such other customary reasonable conditions as Landlord may reasonably impose.

(b) Prior to commencement of restoration and at any time during restoration, if the estimated cost of completing the restoration work free and clear of all liens, as reasonably determined by Landlord, exceeds the amount of the Net Award available for such restoration, the amount of such excess shall, within ten (10) days following written request by Landlord, be paid by Tenant to Landlord to be added to the Restoration Fund or Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable adequate security to secure the payment of such excess as and when required. Any sum so added by Tenant which remains in the Restoration Fund upon completion of restoration shall be refunded to Tenant. For purposes of determining the source of funds with respect to the disposition of funds remaining after the completion of restoration, the Net Award shall be deemed to be disbursed prior to any amount added by Tenant.

(c) If any sum remains in the Restoration Fund after completion of the restoration and any refund to Tenant pursuant to Section 18(b), such sum shall be retained by Landlord.

(a) Tenant shall have the right, upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord, with no consent of Landlord being required or necessary (“Preapproved Assignment”), to assign this Lease by operation of law or otherwise to any of the following Persons (each a “Preapproved Assignee”): (i) an affiliate, subsidiary, or parent of Equinix, Inc., or a corporation, partnership or other legal entity wholly owned by Equinix, Inc. (collectively, an “Affiliated Party”), or (ii) a successor to Tenant by acquisition or merger, or by a consolidation or reorganization pursuant to which Tenant ceases to exist as a legal entity (each such party a “Successor Party”); provided, however, that as a condition precedent to such Preapproved Assignment, Tenant shall provide a guaranty from Equinix, Inc. (“Guarantor”) or a successor to Guarantor having a net worth and financial strength equal to or greater than Guarantor in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and approved by Lender in writing. Tenant acknowledges that the ability of Landlord to give its consent or approval will be subject to Landlord receiving the consent of Lender and any such assignment shall be null and void without Lender’s consent. As used herein, (A) “parent” shall mean a company which owns a majority of Equinix, Inc.’s voting equity, (B) “subsidiary” shall mean an entity wholly owned by Equinix, Inc. or a controlling interest in whose voting equity is owned by Equinix, Inc., and (C) “affiliate” shall mean an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with Equinix, Inc.

(b) If Tenant desires to assign this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to a Person (“Non-Preapproved Assignee”) who would not be a Preapproved

Assignee (“Non Preapproved Assignment”) then Tenant shall, not less than twenty (20) days prior to the date on which it desires to make a Non-Preapproved Assignment submit to Landlord and Lender information regarding the following with respect to the Non-Preapproved Assignee (collectively the “Review Criteria”): (A) credit, (B) capital structure, (C) management, (D) operating history, (E) proposed use of the Leased Premises, (F) compliance with all OFAC and Patriot Act requirements, and (G) the name and financial information of the proposed replacement guarantor, if any. Landlord and Lender shall review such information and shall approve or disapprove the Non-Preapproved Assignee and replacement guarantor, if any (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) no later than the thirtieth (30^th) day following receipt of all such information, and Landlord and Lender shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in granting or withholding consent if such grant or disapproval is based solely on their review of the review Criteria applying prudent business judgment. Tenant acknowledges that the ability of Landlord to give its consent will be subject to Landlord receiving the consent of Lender and any such assignment shall be null and void without Lender’s consent.

(c) Tenant shall have the right to sublease (and such sublease being referred to herein as a “Sublease”) all or any portion of the Commercial Facility portion of the Leased Premises, subject to Landlord’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall approve or disapprove any such proposed Sublease no later than the fifteenth (15^th) day following receipt of Tenant’s request for such approval. Tenant acknowledges that the ability of Landlord to give its consent may be subject to Landlord receiving the consent of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any Sublease to any Preapproved Assignee or that meets the following criteria: (i) the Sublease covers less than thirty thousand (30,000) rentable square feet of the Commercial Facility portion of the Leased Premises, (ii) the Sublease has a term that does not extend beyond the term of this Lease, (iii) the Sublease is in a form customarily used by Tenant for the Leased Premises or is in a form substantially similar to the Existing Leases, and (iv) the Sublease is on commercially reasonable terms and conditions at the term it is entered into. Tenant shall give Landlord notice of any Sublease entered into pursuant to the preceding sentence, together with an executed copy of such Sublease, within fifteen (15) days of the execution thereof by Tenant. Landlord’s and Tenant’s right, title and interest to any such Sublease shall be assigned to Lender.

(d) Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord to enter into subleases, licenses or similar agreements (collectively a “Customer Agreement”) with its Customers, consistent with the custom and practice of the telecommunications industry, to “co-locate” such Customers’ telecommunications equipment within the IBX Facility portion of the Leased Premises or to otherwise occupy a portion of the IBX Facility portion of the Leased Premises and to allow such Customer to avail themselves of the services provided by Tenant from the Leased Premises consistent with the permitted uses of the Leased Premises.

(e) Except to the extent otherwise provided to the contrary under the terms of the Existing Leases or prohibited by law with respect to the Existing Leases, any Sublease or Customer Agreement shall at all times be subject and subordinate in all respects to all of the terms of this Lease and the lien of the SFT I Mortgage or any other Mortgage, and (A) no Sublease or Customer Agreement shall in any way discharge or diminish any of the

obligations of Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and Tenant shall remain directly and primarily liable under this Lease; (B) each Sublease and Customer Agreement shall prohibit the Customer or Non-Customer from engaging in any activities on the Leased Premises that are not consistent with those permitted under this Lease; (C) each Sublease shall be assignable to the Preapproved Assignee, the Non-Preapproved Assignee or Successor Landlord and shall provide that the Non-Customer at the election of the Successor Landlord will attorn directly to the Successor Landlord in the event of a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and termination of this Lease and upon such election will require such Non-Customer to enter into a direct lease with the Successor Landlord (including any assignee or designee of such Successor Landlord) on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Sublease for the balance of the remaining term under the Sublease, and (D) each Sublease shall have a term which expires on or prior to the Expiration Date, but shall be subject to earlier termination if this Lease is terminated before the Expiration Date.

(f) Provided that a Sublease complies with the provisions of Section 19(c), (d) and (e) above and has been approved by Lender, at the request of Tenant, Landlord shall enter into and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Lender a non disturbance and attornment agreement, on a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and such subtenant or Customer.

(g) If Tenant assigns all its rights and interest under this Lease as permitted under Section 19(a), the assignee under such assignment shall expressly assume all the obligations of Tenant hereunder, actual or contingent, including obligations of Tenant which may have arisen on or prior to the date of such assignment, by a written instrument delivered to Landlord at the time of such assignment. Except for any Preapproved Assignment (in which case such Tenant shall be released from its obligations under this Lease and only the successor Tenant shall continue to be liable), no assignment or sublease made as permitted by this Section 21 shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and all such obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease had been made. No assignment or sublease shall impose any additional obligations on Landlord under this Lease.

(h) With respect to any Preapproved Assignment or Sublease, Tenant shall provide to Landlord and Lender information reasonably required by Landlord or Lender to establish that any proposed Preapproved Assignment or Sublease satisfies the criteria set forth above.

(i) Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after the execution and delivery of any Preapproved Assignment or sublease, deliver a duplicate original copy thereof to Landlord and if requested by Lender, to Lender.

(j) Subject to the prior approval of Lender, Landlord may sell or transfer the Leased Premises at any time without Tenant’s consent to any third party subject to the rights of Tenant under this Lease and an assumption of the obligations of Landlord hereunder by the purchaser or other transferee (each a “Third Party Purchaser”). In the event of any such transfer, Tenant shall attorn to any Third Party Purchaser as Landlord so long as such Third Party

Purchaser and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably request in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant, provided that such agreements do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Building A or Building B of the Leased Premises is sold by Landlord and the Mortgage is released in connection therewith, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Leased Premises sold as of the date of the closing of such sale; provided, however that there shall be no reduction in the amount of Basic Rent due and payable hereunder as a result thereof.

(a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following (after expiration of any applicable cure period as provided in Section 20(b)) shall, at the sole option of Landlord, constitute an “Event of Default” under this Lease:

(i) a failure by Tenant to make any payment of any Monetary Obligation as and when due;

(ii) a failure by Tenant duly to perform and observe, or a violation or breach of, any other provision hereof not otherwise specifically mentioned in this Section 20(a);

(iii) Tenant shall (A) voluntarily be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (B) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself, (C) file a petition seeking relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States, any state or any jurisdiction, (D) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (E) be unable to pay its debts as they mature;

(iv) a court shall enter an order, judgment or decree appointing, without the consent of Tenant, a receiver or trustee for it or approving a petition filed against Tenant which seeks relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States, any state or any jurisdiction, and such order, judgment or decree shall remain undischarged or unstayed sixty (60) days after it is entered;

(v) the Leased Premises shall have been vacated, provided it shall not be an Event of Default if the Leased Premises is vacant so long as Tenant is diligently pursuing a subtenant or assignee for the Leased Premises;

(vi) Tenant shall be liquidated or dissolved or shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution; or

(vii) the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased Premises shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or interest is about to be sold or transferred or such process shall not be vacated or discharged within ninety (90) days after it is made.

(b) No notice or cure period shall be required in any one or more of the following events: (A) the occurrence of an Event of Default under clause (i) (except as otherwise set forth below), (iii) (iv), (vi), (vii), or (viii) of Section 20(a); or (B) the default consists of a failure to provide any insurance required by Section 16 or an assignment or sublease entered into in violation of Section 19. If the default consists of the failure to pay Basic Rent, the applicable cure period shall be five (5) days from the date on which notice is given, but Landlord shall not be obligated to give notice of, or allow any cure period for, any such default more than one (1) time within any Lease Year. Any other Monetary Obligation, the applicable cure period shall be five (5) days from the date on which notice is given, but Landlord shall not be obligated to give notice of, or allow a cure period for, the same default more than one (1) time within any Lease Year. If the default consists of a default under clause (ii) of Section 20(a) (and is reasonably capable of cure), the applicable cure period shall be thirty (30) days from the date on which notice is given or, if the default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period and delay in the exercise of a remedy would not (in Landlord’s reasonable judgment) cause any material adverse harm to Landlord or the Leased Premises, the cure period shall be extended for the period required to cure the default, provided that Tenant shall commence to cure the default within the said thirty-day period and shall actively, diligently and in good faith proceed with and continue the curing of the default until it shall be fully cured.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, then or at any time thereafter, to exercise its remedies and to collect damages from Tenant in accordance with this Section 21, subject in all events to applicable Law, without demand upon or notice to Tenant except as otherwise provided in Section 20(b) and this Section 21.

(i) Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice. Upon such date, this Lease, the estate hereby granted and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate. Upon such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in accordance with Section 24. If Tenant does not so surrender and deliver possession of all of the Leased Premises, Landlord may re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises not surrendered pursuant to applicable legal process, by summary proceedings, ejectment or any other lawful means or procedure. Upon or at any time after taking possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, by legal process, remove any Persons or property therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal. Notwithstanding such entry or repossession, Landlord may exercise the remedies set forth in and collect the damages described in this Section 21.

(ii) After repossession of the Leased Premises pursuant to clause (i) above, Landlord shall have the right to relet the Leased Premises to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms, for such rent, on such conditions and for such uses as Landlord may reasonably determine, and collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Landlord may make such Alterations in connection with such reletting as it may deem advisable in its sole reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding any such reletting, Landlord may collect the

damages described in this Section 21. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs and expenses of reletting any portion of the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, all brokerage, advertising, legal, alteration, redecorating, repairing and other expenses reasonably incurred to secure a new tenant for the Leased Premises or portion thereof. In addition, if the consideration collected by Landlord upon any such reletting, after payment of the expenses of reletting the Leased Premises which have not been reimbursed by Tenant, is insufficient to pay monthly the full amount of the Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of each monthly deficiency as it becomes due. If such consideration is greater than the amount necessary to pay the full amount of the Rent, the full amount of such excess shall be retained by Landlord and shall in no event be payable to Tenant.

(b) If Landlord elects to terminate Tenant’s right to possession or, subject to applicable law, terminate this Lease upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may collect and recover from Tenant and Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, as and for liquidated and final damages, an accelerated lump sum amount equal to the amount by which Landlord’s estimate of the aggregate amount of Rent owing, from the date of such termination through the Expiration Date plus the aggregate of Landlord’s actual and estimated expenses of reletting the Leased Premises, exceeds the fair market rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period (after deducting from such fair market rental value the time needed to relet the Leased Premises and the amount of concessions which would normally be given to a new tenant) both discounted to present value at the rate equal to the then applicable discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus one percent (1%).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in lieu of or in addition to any of the foregoing remedies and damages, Landlord may exercise any remedies and collect any damages available to it at law or in equity. If Landlord is unable to obtain full satisfaction pursuant to the exercise of any remedy, it may pursue any other remedy which it has hereunder at law or in equity.

(d) Landlord shall not be required to mitigate any of its damages hereunder unless required to by applicable Law. If any Law shall validly limit the amount of any damages provided for herein to an amount which is less than the amount agreed to herein, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount available under such Law.

(e) No termination of this Lease, repossession or reletting of the Leased Premises, exercise of any remedy or collection of any damages pursuant to this Section 21 shall relieve Tenant of any Surviving Obligations.

(f) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right (but no obligation) to perform any act required of Tenant hereunder at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and, if performance of such act requires that Landlord enter the Leased Premises, Landlord may enter the Leased Premises for such purpose during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency). Furthermore, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right (but not

the obligation) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without abatement of rent, to make any payment owed by Tenant to any party other than Landlord for which Tenant is liable under this Lease. Landlord’s election to make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s part shall not give rise to any responsibility of Landlord to continue making the same or similar payments or performing the same or similar acts. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord upon demand for all sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of such payment by Landlord until reimbursed by Tenant.

(g) No failure of Landlord (i) to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or (ii) to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof. A receipt by Landlord of any sum in satisfaction of any Monetary Obligation with knowledge of the breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in a writing signed by Landlord.

(h) Landlord may also seek specific performance by Tenant in the case of breach by Tenant of one or more of its covenants contained in this Lease.

(i) All remedies are cumulative and concurrent and no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. Each remedy may be exercised at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and may be exercised from time to time. No remedy shall be exhausted by any exercise thereof.

22. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, offers, statements and other instruments or communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to the provisions of this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given and received for all purposes when delivered in person or by Federal Express or other reliable 24-hour delivery service or five (5) business days after being deposited in the United States mail, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address stated above or when delivery is refused. For the purposes of this Section, any party may substitute another address stated above (or substituted by a previous notice) for its address by giving fifteen (15) days’ notice of the new address to the other party, in the manner provided above. A copy of all notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, offer statements and other instruments or communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Lease shall be delivered in accordance with the requirements of this Section 22 to Mortgage Lender as follows:

23. Estoppel Certificate. At any time upon not less than ten (10) business days’ prior written request by either Landlord or Tenant (the “Requesting Party”) to the other party (the “Responding Party”), the Responding Party shall deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing, executed by an authorized officer of the Responding Party, certifying (a) that, except as otherwise specified, this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (b) the dates to which Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all other Monetary Obligations have been paid, (c) that, to the knowledge of the signer of such certificate and except as otherwise specified, no default by either Landlord or Tenant exists hereunder, and (d) such other matters as the Requesting Party may reasonably request. Any such statements by the Responding Party may be relied upon by the Requesting Party, any Person whom the Requesting Party notifies the Responding Party in its request for the Certificate is an intended recipient or beneficiary of the Certificate or their assignees and by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Leased Premises.

24. Surrender. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably leave and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in Good Condition and Repair. Upon such surrender, Tenant shall (a) remove from the Leased Premises all property which is owned by Tenant or third parties other than Landlord and any Alterations constructed or installed by the Tenant and which Tenant is required to remove pursuant to Section 12 above, and (b) repair any damage caused by such removal. Property not so removed shall become the

property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter cause such property to be removed from the Leased Premises. The reasonable cost of removing and disposing of such property and repairing any damage to the Leased Premises caused by such removal shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of written demand. Landlord shall not in any manner or to any extent be obligated to reimburse Tenant for any such property which becomes the property of Landlord pursuant to this Section 24 and Section 12 hereof.

25. No Merger of Title. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estate created by this Lease with the fee estate in the Leased Premises by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire or hold or own, directly or indirectly, (a) the leasehold estate created hereby or any part thereof or interest therein and (b) the fee estate in the Leased Premises or any part thereof or interest therein, unless and until all Persons having any interest in the interests described in (a) and (b) above which are sought to be merged shall join in a written instrument effecting such merger and shall duly record the same.

(a) Tenant shall keep adequate records and books of account with respect to the Leased Premises, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied, and shall permit Landlord and Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 4(c) above, by their respective agents, accountants and attorneys, upon reasonable notice to Tenant, to visit and inspect the Leased Premises, or such other location where such books and records are maintained, during normal business hours and examine (and make copies of) the records and books of account. Upon the request of Landlord (either telephonically or in writing), Tenant shall provide the requesting party with copies of any information to which such party would be entitled in the course of a personal visit.

(b) To the extent not available on the EDGAR website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“EDGAR”) or other public information sources, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and Lender within one hundred twenty (120) days of the close of each fiscal year, annual audited financial statements of Equinix, Inc. prepared by nationally recognized independent certified public accountants. To the extent not available on EDGAR or other public information sources, Tenant shall also furnish to Landlord within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the three remaining quarters all filings, if any, of Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other Law.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any claim based on or in respect of any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be enforced only against the Leased Premises and not against any other assets, properties or funds of (a) Landlord, (b) any director, member, officer, general partner, limited partner, employee or agent of Landlord, or any general partner of Landlord, any of its general partners or shareholders (or any legal representative, heir, estate, successor or assign of any thereof), (c) any predecessor or successor partnership or corporation (or other entity) of Landlord, or any of its general partners, either directly or through

Landlord or its general partners or any predecessor or successor partnership or corporation or their shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents (or other entity), or (d) any other Person.

(a) In connection with the Mortgage Lender Financing, Tenant agrees to supply Lender with such notices and information as Tenant is required to give to Landlord hereunder in accordance with Section 22 herein and to extend the rights of Landlord hereunder to any Lender. Tenant shall provide any other consent or statement and shall execute any and all other documents that Lender reasonably requires in connection with such Mortgage Lender Financing and any subsequent Mortgage, so long as the same do not adversely affect any right, benefit or privilege of Tenant or increase Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in any material respect. Furthermore, in connection with the Mortgage Lender Financing and any subsequent Mortgage, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will assign its interest in this Lease to Mortgage Lender and any successor Lender as additional security for the Mortgage Lender Financing and any subsequent financing.

(b) In the event of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to Lender at the addresses set forth in Section 22 above, and (ii) unless such act or omission shall be one which is not capable of being remedied by Landlord or Lender within the time period provided herein, until the period for remedying such act or omission provided herein shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when Lender shall have become entitled under any applicable encumbrance to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided Lender shall with due diligence give Tenant written notice of its intention to remedy such act or omission, and Lender shall commence and thereafter continue with reasonable diligence to pursue its remedies under any applicable encumbrance and to remedy such act or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to act, perform or effect any such remedy.

(c) If Tenant desires to obtain or refinance any loan that encumbers Tenant’s interest in the Leased Premises, Tenant’s equipment and any Alterations (other than the Initial Alterations) approved by Landlord and which Landlord and Lender have expressly agreed in writing may be removed by Tenant at the end of the term of this Lease, any such loan or encumbrance shall not require the consent of Landlord or Lender and shall not be deemed subject to the provisions of Section 19 of this Lease. In the event that Landlord receives written notice identifying any such lender as the holder or beneficiary of any such loan or encumbrance, Landlord shall thereafter endeavor to provide such lender with duplicate copies of any notice of an Event of Default given by Landlord to Tenant hereunder; provided, however, failure to provide such lender with such duplicate notice shall not constitute a failure to give notice to Tenant or prevent or impair Landlord’s ability to exercise its remedies under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall accept from such lender any curative acts on account of such Event

of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Landlord shall not be required to recognize such lender under the Lease unless such lender is the direct tenant under this Lease and has a credit rating by a major national credit agency of BBB or better (or equivalent) or, in the event such lender assumes this Lease through an affiliated designee, such lender provides to Landlord a replacement guaranty in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord from a party with a net worth and financial strength at least equivalent to the Tenant as of the date hereof. No further assignments of this Lease will be permitted after such lender or its designee assumes this Lease without Landlord’s and Lender’s prior written consent.

29. Subordination and Attornment. This Lease and Tenant’s interest hereunder shall be subordinate to any Mortgage or other security instrument hereafter placed upon the Leased Premises by Landlord, including without limitation, the first priority lien of Lender, and to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, to the interest thereon, and all renewals, amendments, modifications, replacements and extensions thereof. Tenant further agrees that upon the request of Lender, Tenant will execute a subordination and attornment agreement providing as follows:

(b) Neither the Lender nor its successors and assigns shall (A) be liable for any misrepresentation, act or omission of Landlord, and (B) be bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease, not expressly provided for in this Lease, or by any prepayment of more than one month’s fixed rent, unless such amendment or modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by such Lender.

(c) If a Lender, any successor or assignee of Lender, or any other purchaser at any foreclosure sale under such Lender’s Mortgage or in connection with the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (collectively “Successor Landlord”) shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, then at Successor Landlord’s request and election (it being understood that in the alternative Successor Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct lease between Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease and shall be applicable after such attornment except that Successor Landlord shall not be: (i) liable for any misrepresentation, act or omission of Landlord (except that Successor Landlord shall be responsible for correcting any continuing defaults and obligations which exist at the time Successor Landlord succeeds to Landlord’s interest under the Lease), or (ii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease, not expressly consented to by Lender, or by any prepayment of more than one month’s fixed rent, unless such amendment or modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by such Lender.

(k) This Lease shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Commonwealth of Virginia.

(l) For purposes of Section 55-2, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, this Lease is and shall be deemed to be a deed of lease.
