AMENDED AND RESTATED

COMMON DEFINITIONS AND PROVISIONS AGREEMENT

(RTP DATA CENTER)




     This AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMON DEFINITIONS AND PROVISIONS AGREEMENT (RTP DATA CENTER) (this
“Agreement”), dated as of November 29, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between BNP
PARIBAS LEASING CORPORATION (“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation, and NETWORK APPLIANCE, INC.
(“NAI”), a Delaware corporation.



RECITALS




     Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, NAI and BNPPLC are executing the
Closing Certificate (as defined below), the Ground Lease (as defined below), the Lease (as defined
below), the Construction Agreement (as defined below) and the Purchase Agreement (as defined
below), all of which concern NAI or the Property (as defined below). Each of the Closing
Certificate, the Ground Lease, the Lease, the Construction Agreement and the Purchase Agreement
(together with this Agreement, the “Operative Documents”) are intended to create separate and
independent obligations upon the parties thereto. However, NAI and BNPPLC intend that all of the
Operative Documents share certain consistent definitions and other miscellaneous provisions. To
that end, the parties are executing this Agreement and incorporating it by reference into each of
the other Operative Documents.



AGREEMENTS




ARTICLE I — LIST OF DEFINED TERMS




     Unless a clear contrary intention appears, the following terms will have the respective
indicated meanings as used herein and in the other Operative Documents:



     “97-10/Maximum Permitted Prepayment” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.



     “97-10/Meltdown Event” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.



     “97-10/Prepayment” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.



     “97-10/Project Costs“has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.



     “97-10/Pronouncement” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.



 









 





     “ABR” means, for any day, a fluctuating rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if
necessary, to the next 1/100th of 1%) equal to the higher of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such
day and (b) the Fed Funds Rate in effect one day prior to such day plus 1/4 of 1% per annum. For
any period (including any Base Rent Period), “ABR” means the average of the ABR for each day during
such period.



     “ABR Period Election” means an election to have the Effective Rate for any Period calculated
by reference to the ABR, rather than by reference to LIBOR or a Fixed Rate. NAI may (subject to the
limitations and qualifications set forth in this definition) make any Period after the first
Construction Period subject to an ABR Period Election by a notice given to BNPPLC in the form
attached as Annex 1 at least five Business Days prior to the commencement of such Period.
After an ABR Period Election becomes effective, it will remain in effect for all subsequent Periods
until the Fixed Rate Lock Date for any Fixed Rate Lock or a different election is made in
accordance with the provisions of this definition and the definition of LIBOR Period Election. In
no event will changes in any ABR Period Election or LIBOR Period Election become effective except
upon the commencement of a new Period. (For purposes of the Operative Documents, an ABR Period
Election for any Period will also be considered in effect on the Effective Date, Advance Date, Base
Rent Commencement Date or Base Rent Date upon which such Period begins.)



     “Active Negligence” of any Person means, and is limited to, the negligent conduct on the
Property (and not mere omissions) by such Person or by others acting and authorized to act on such
Person’s behalf (other than NAI) in a manner that proximately causes actual bodily injury or
property damage for which NAI does not carry (and is not obligated by the Construction Agreement or
the Lease to carry) insurance. “Active Negligence” will not include (1) any negligent failure of
BNPPLC to act when the duty to act would not have been imposed but for BNPPLC’s status as owner of
any interest in the Land, the Improvements or any other Property or as a party to the transactions
described in the Lease or the other Operative Documents, (2) any negligent failure of any other
Interested Party to act when the duty to act would not have been imposed but for such party’s
contractual or other relationship to BNPPLC or participation or facilitation in any manner,
directly or indirectly, of the transactions described in the Lease or other Operative Documents, or
(3) the exercise in a lawful manner by BNPPLC (or any party lawfully claiming through or under
BNPPLC) of any right or remedy provided in or under the Lease or the other Operative Documents.



     “Additional Rent” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(F) of the Lease.



     “Administrative Fees” means the fees identified as such in subparagraph 3(E) of the
Lease and subparagraph 3(A) of the Construction Agreement.



     “Advance Date” means, regardless of whether any Construction Advance is actually



Amended and Restated Common Definitions

and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 2







 









 







made
on such date, the first Business Day of every calendar month, beginning with the first
Business Day in December, 2007 and continuing regularly thereafter to and including the Base
Rent Commencement Date, which will be the last Advance Date.




     “Affiliate” of any Person means any other Person controlling, controlled by or under common
control with such Person. For purposes of this definition, the term “control” when used with
respect to any Person means the power to direct the management of policies of such Person, directly
or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and
the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.



     “After Tax Basis” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 5(C)(1) of the Lease.



     “Applicable Laws” means any or all of the following, to the extent applicable to BNPPLC, NAI,
the Property or the Operative Documents, after giving effect to the contractual choice of law
provisions in the Operative Documents: restrictive covenants; zoning ordinances and building codes;
flood disaster laws; health, safety and environmental laws and regulations; the Americans with
Disabilities Act and other laws pertaining to disabled persons; and other laws, statutes,
ordinances, rules, permits, regulations, orders, determinations and court decisions.



     “Applicable Purchaser” means any third party designated to purchase BNPPLC’s interest in the
Property and in any Escrowed Proceeds as provided in the Purchase Agreement.



     “Appurtenant Easements” has the meaning indicated in Exhibit A attached to the Ground
Lease.



     “Arrangement Fee” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.



     “Attorneys’ Fees” means the expenses and reasonable fees of counsel to the parties incurring
the same, including costs or expenses of in-house counsel (whether or not accounted for as general
overhead or administrative expenses) and printing, photostating, duplicating and other expenses,
air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals, librarians and others not admitted
to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney. Such terms will also
include all such expenses and reasonable fees incurred with respect to appeals, arbitrations and
bankruptcy proceedings, and whether or not any manner of proceeding is brought with respect to the
matter for which such fees and expenses were incurred.



     “Balance of Unpaid Construction Period Losses” has the meaning indicated in the Purchase
Agreement.



     “Banking Rules Change” means either: (1) the introduction of or any change after the



Amended and Restated Common Definitions

and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 3





 









 







Effective Date (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements
included in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) in any law or regulation applicable to BNPPLC,
BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant, or in the generally accepted interpretation by the
institutional lending community of any such law or regulation, or in the interpretation of any such
law or regulation asserted by any regulator, court or other governmental authority (other than any
change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurodollar Rate
Reserve Percentage) or (2) the compliance by BNPPLC, BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant with any
new guideline or new request issued after the Effective Date from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law).




     “Base Rent” means the rent payable by NAI pursuant to subparagraph 3(A) of the Lease.



     “Base Rent Commencement Date” means the first Business Day of the first calendar month after
the Completion Date.



     “Base Rent Date” means a date upon which Base Rent must be paid under the Lease, all of which
dates will be the first Business Day of a calendar month. The first Base Rent Date will be
determined as follows:




     a) If an ABR Period Election or a LIBOR Period Election of one month is in effect on
the Base Rent Commencement Date, then the first Business Day of the first calendar
month following the Base Rent Commencement Date will be the first Base Rent Date.




     b) If a LIBOR Period Election of three months or six months is in effect on the Base
Rent Commencement Date, then the first Business Day of the third calendar month
following the Base Rent Commencement Date will be the first Base Rent Date.


Each successive Base Rent Date after the first Base Rent Date will be the first Business Day of the
first or third calendar month following the calendar month which includes the preceding Base Rent
Date, determined as follows:





     (1) If an ABR Period Election or a LIBOR Period Election of one month is in effect on a
Base Rent Date, or if a Fixed Rate Lock commences or continues on a Base Rent Date, then the
first Business Day of the first calendar month following such Base Rent Date will be
the next following Base Rent Date.




     (2) If a LIBOR Period Election of three months or longer is in effect on a Base Rent
Date, then the first Business Day of the third calendar month following such Base
Rent Date will be the next following Base Rent Date.



Amended and Restated Common Definitions

and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 4





 









 







Thus, for example, if the Base Rent Commencement Date falls on the first Business Day of
September, 2008 and a LIBOR Period Election of three months commences on the Base Rent Commencement
Date, then the first Base Rent Date will be the first Business Day of December, 2008.




     “Base Rent Period” means a period for which Base Rent must be paid under the Lease, each of
which periods will correspond to the ABR Period Election or LIBOR Period Election for the period
(except when a Fixed Rate Lock continues in effect). The first Base Rent Period will begin on and
include the Base Rent Commencement Date, and each successive Base Rent Period will begin on and
include the Base Rent Date upon which the preceding Base Rent Period ends. Each Base Rent Period,
including the first Base Rent Period, will end on but not include the first or second Base Rent
Date after the Base Rent Date upon which such period began, determined as follows:




     (1) If an ABR Period Election or a LIBOR Period Election of one month or three months
is in effect for a Base Rent Period, or if a Fixed Rate Lock commences or continues on the
first day of the Base Rent Period, then such Base Rent Period will end on but not include
the first Base Rent Date after the Base Rent Date upon which such period began.




     (2) If a LIBOR Period Election of six months is in effect for a Base Rent Period, then
such Base Rent Period will end on but not include the second Base Rent Date after
the Base Rent Date upon which such period began.


The determination of Base Rent Periods can be illustrated by two examples:





     1) If NAI makes a LIBOR Period Election of three months for a hypothetical Base Rent
Period beginning on the first Business Day in January, 2009, then such Base Rent Period will
end on but not include the first Base Rent Date after it begins; that is, such Base Rent
Period will end on but not include the first Business Day in April, 2009, the third calendar
month after January, 2009.




     2) If, however, NAI makes a LIBOR Period Election of six months for the hypothetical
Base Rent Period beginning the first Business Day in January, 2009, then such Base Rent
Period will end on but not include the second Base Rent Date after it begins; that is, the
first Business Day in July, 2009.



     “BNPPLC” means BNPPLC Leasing Corporation, a Delaware corporation.



     “BNPPLC’s Parent” means BNP Paribas, a bank organized and existing under the laws of France,
and any successors of such bank.



Amended and Restated Common Definitions

and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 5







 









 








     “Breakage Costs” means any and all costs, losses or expenses incurred or sustained by
BNPPLC’s Parent (as a Participant or otherwise) or any Participant, for which BNPPLC’s Parent or
the Participant requests reimbursement from BNPPLC, because of:




     (1) the resulting liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds that were used
to make or maintain Funding Advances upon application of a Qualified Prepayment or upon any
sale of the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if such application or sale occurs
on any day other than the last day of a Construction Period or Base Rent Period; or




     (2) the resulting liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds that were
reserved to provide a Construction Advance requested by NAI, if and when the Construction
Advance is not made as anticipated, either because NAI declined to accept the Construction
Advance for any reason or because NAI failed to satisfy any of the conditions to such
Construction Advance specified in the Construction Agreement; or




     (3) the resulting liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds that were used
to make or maintain Funding Advances upon the acceleration of the end of any Construction
Period or Base Rent Period because of an acceleration of the Designated Sale Date as
described in clauses (2) or (3) of the definition thereof.


Breakage Costs will include, for example, losses on Funding Advances maintained by BNPPLC’s Parent
or any Participant which are attributable to any decline in LIBOR as of the effective date of any
application described in the clause (1) preceding, as compared to the LIBOR used to determine the
Effective Rate then in effect. Each determination of Breakage Costs by BNPPLC’s Parent or by any
Participant, as applicable, will be conclusive and binding upon NAI in the absence of clear and
demonstrable error.




     “Break Even Price” has the meaning indicated in the Purchase Agreement.



     “Business Day” means any day that is (1) not a Saturday, Sunday or day on which commercial
banks are generally closed or required to be closed in New York City, New York, and (2) a day on
which dealings in deposits of dollars are transacted in the London interbank market; provided, that
if such dealings are suspended indefinitely for any reason, “Business Day” will mean any day
described in clause (1).



     “Capital Adequacy Charges” means any additional amounts BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant
requests BNPPLC to pay as compensation for an increase in required capital as
provided in subparagraph 5(B)(2) of the Lease.



     “Carrying Costs” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.

     “Closing Certificate” means the Amended and Restated Closing Certificate and Agreement

judgment, materially reduces the value of the Property; or




•    following any discovery of conditions or circumstances on or about the Property
after the Completion Date, such as the presence of an endangered species, which are
likely to substantially impede the use or development of the Property and thereby,
in BNPPLC’s judgment, materially reduce the value of the Property;




provided, however, that if the Business Day so designated by BNPPLC as the Designated Sale
Date is not at least thirty days after the date of such notice, the notice will be of no
effect for purposes of this definition; or

     “Effective Rate” means, for each Period, a per annum rate determined as follows:




     (1) In the case of any Period subject to a LIBOR Period Election, the Effective Rate
will equal the rate per annum determined by dividing (A) LIBOR for such Period, by (B) one
hundred percent (100%) minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage for such Period.




     (2) In the case of any Period that is not subject to a LIBOR Period Election, the
Effective Rate will equal the ABR for such Period.




     (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Base Rent Period that begins on or after the
Fixed Rate Lock Date applicable to a Fixed Rate Lock and that ends before or on the date
such Fixed Rate Lock is terminated as provided in subparagraph 3(C) of the Lease,
the Effective Rate will equal the Fixed Rate.


So long as any LIBOR Period Election remains in effect, as LIBOR or the Eurodollar Rate Reserve
Percentage changes from Period to Period, the Effective Rate will be automatically increased or
decreased, as the case may be, without prior notice to NAI. Also, during any period when no LIBOR
Period Election or Fixed Rate Lock is in effect, as the ABR changes from Period to Period, the
Effective Rate will be automatically increased or decreased, as the case may be, without prior
notice to NAI.



If for any reason BNPPLC determines that it is impossible or unreasonably difficult to determine
the Effective Rate with respect to a given Period in accordance with the foregoing, then the
“Effective Rate” for that Period will equal any published index or per annum interest rate
determined in good faith by BNPPLC to be comparable to LIBOR at the beginning of the first day of
that Period. A comparable interest rate might be, for example, the then existing yield on short
term United States Treasury obligations (as compiled by and published in the then most recently
published United States Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) or its successor
publication), plus or minus a fixed adjustment based on BNPPLC’s comparison of past eurodollar
market rates to past yields on such Treasury obligations.




     “Eligible Financial Institution” means (a) a commercial bank organized under the laws
of the United States, or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and having total assets in
excess of $5,000,000,000; (b) a commercial bank organized under the laws of any other country
which is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) or has
concluded special lending arrangements with the International Monetary Fund associated with its
General Arrangements to Borrow, or a political subdivision of any such country, and having total
assets in excess of $5,000,000,000; provided, that such bank is acting through a branch or agency
located in the United States; (c) the central bank of any country which is a member of the OECD;
and (d) a finance company, insurance company or other financial

partnership or other entity, but excluding any savings and loan association) which is engaged in
making, purchasing or otherwise investing in commercial loans in the ordinary course of its
business, and having total assets in excess of $5,000,000,000; provided, however, that in no event
will any bank or other Person qualify as an Eligible Financial Institution at any time when it has
outstanding obligations with a credit rating less than investment grade from Standard & Poor’s, a
division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or another nationally
recognized rating service.




     “Environmental Cutoff Date” means the later of the dates upon which (i) the Lease terminates

Interested Party, directly or indirectly, relating to or arising out of, based on or as a result of
any of the following: (i) any Hazardous Substance Activity that occurs or is alleged to have

Environmental Laws relating to the Land or the Property or to the ownership, use, occupancy or
operation thereof that occurs or is alleged to have occurred in whole or in part on or prior to the
Environmental Cutoff Date; (iii) any investigation, inquiry, order, hearing, action, or other
proceeding by or before any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or authority in connection
with any Hazardous Substance Activity that occurs or is alleged to have occurred in whole or in
part on or prior to the Environmental Cutoff Date; or (iv) any claim, demand, cause of action or
investigation, or any action or other proceeding, whether meritorious or not, brought or asserted
against any Interested Party which directly or indirectly relates to, arises from, is
based on, or results from any of the matters described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of this
definition or any allegation of any such matters. For purposes of determining whether Losses
constitute “Environmental Losses,” as the term is used in the Lease, any actual or alleged
Hazardous Substance Activity or violation of Environmental Laws relating to the Land or the
Property will be presumed to have occurred prior to the Environmental Cutoff Date unless NAI
establishes by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary that the relevant Hazardous Substance
Activity or violation of Environmental Laws did not occur or commence prior to the Environmental
Cutoff  Date.

after no less than ten days notice to NAI, BNPPLC returns or pays to a third party because of
BNPPLC’s good faith belief that such return or payment is required by law, (D) any money or

     “Established Misconduct” of a Person means, and is limited to:




     (1) if the Person is bound by the Operative Documents or the Participation Agreement,
conduct of such Person that constitutes a breach by it of the express provisions of the
Operative Documents or the Participation Agreement, as applicable, and that continues beyond
any period for cure provided therein, as determined in or as a necessary element of a final
judgment rendered against such Person by a court with jurisdiction to make such
determination, and




     (2) conduct of such Person or its Affiliates that has been determined to constitute
willful misconduct or Active Negligence in or as a necessary element of a final judgment
rendered against such Person by a court with jurisdiction to make such determination.



In no event, however, will Established Misconduct include actions of any Person undertaken
in good faith to mitigate Losses that such Person may suffer because of a breach or repudiation by
NAI of any of the Operative Documents. Further, negligence other than Active Negligence will not
in any event constitute Established Misconduct. For purposes of this definition, “conduct of

supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) for BNPPLC’s Parent with respect to liabilities
or deposits consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities (or with respect to any other
category or liabilities by reference to which LIBOR is determined) having a term comparable to such
Period.



     “Event of Default” means any of the following:

which such failure may be cured by NAI will be extended for a further period (not to exceed an
additional one hundred twenty days) as is necessary for the curing thereof with diligence, if (but
only if) (x) such failure is susceptible of cure but cannot with reasonable diligence be cured
within such thirty day period, (y) NAI promptly commences to cure such failure and thereafter

seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts
under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking
the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or
other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of
any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it), either such proceeding
remains undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty consecutive days, or any of the actions
sought in such proceeding (including the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment

effect for more than sixty days.



     (J) A judgment or order for the payment of money in an amount (not covered by insurance) which
exceeds $25,000,000 is rendered against NAI or any of NAI’s Subsidiaries and either (i)
enforcement proceedings is commenced by any creditor upon such judgment, or (ii) within thirty days
after the entry thereof, such judgment or order is not discharged or execution thereof stayed
pending appeal, or within thirty days after the expiration of any such stay, such judgment is not
discharged.



     (K) Any ERISA Termination Event occurs that BNPPLC determines in good faith would constitute
grounds for a termination of any Plan or for the appointment by the appropriate United States
district court of a trustee to administer any Plan and such ERISA Termination Event is continuing
thirty days after notice to such effect is given to NAI by BNPPLC, or any Plan is terminated, or a
trustee is appointed by a United States district court to administer any Plan, or the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation institutes proceedings to terminate any Plan or to appoint a trustee
to administer any Plan.



     (L) NAI enters into any transaction which would cause any of the Operative Documents or any
other document executed in connection herewith (or any exercise of BNPPLC’s rights hereunder or

     (B) transfer or change of ownership taxes assessed because of BNPPLC’s transfer or
conveyance to any third party of any rights or interest in the Improvements Lease, the Purchase
Agreement or the Property (other than any such taxes assessed because of any Permitted Transfer
under clauses (1), (4) or (5) of the definition of Permitted Transfer in this Agreement);



     (C) federal, state and local income taxes upon any amounts paid as reimbursement for or to
satisfy Losses incurred by BNPPLC or any Participant to the extent, but only to the extent, such
taxes are offset by a corresponding reduction of BNPPLC’s or the applicable Participant’s income
taxes which are not otherwise subject to reimbursement or indemnification by NAI because of
BNPPLC’s or such Participant’s deduction of the reimbursed Losses from its taxable income or
because of any tax credits attributable thereto;



     (D) income taxes that are (i) payable by BNPPLC in respect of any Qualified Prepayment or any
net sales proceeds paid to BNPPLC upon a sale of the Property because of Forced Recharacterization
as described in subparagraph 4(C)(3) of the Lease, and (ii) offset in the same taxable period by a
reduction in the taxes of BNPPLC which are not otherwise subject to reimbursement or
indemnification by NAI resulting from depreciation deductions or other tax benefits available to
BNPPLC only because of the refusal of the tax authorities to treat the Lease and other Operative
Documents as a financing arrangement;



     (E) any withholding taxes that subparagraph 13(A) of the Lease excuses NAI from paying
or requires BNPPLC to pay; and



     (F) any franchise taxes payable by BNPPLC, but only to the extent that such franchise taxes
would be payable by BNPPLC even if the transactions contemplated by the Lease and the other
Operative Documents were characterized for tax purposes as a mere financing arrangement and not as
a lease or sale.


It is understood that if tax rates used to calculate income taxes which constitute Excluded Taxes
under clause (1) of this definition are increased, the resulting increase will not be subject to
reimbursement or indemnification by NAI. If, however, a change in Applicable Laws after the
Effective Date, as applied to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents on a
stand-alone basis, results in an increase in such income taxes for any reason other than an
increase in the applicable tax rates (e.g., a disallowance of deductions that would otherwise be
available against payments described in clause (1) of this definition), then for purposes of the
Operative Documents, the term “Excluded Taxes” will not include the actual increase in such taxes
attributable to the change. Accordingly, BNPPLC or any Participant may recover any such net
increase from NAI pursuant to subparagraph 5(B) of the Lease.



It is also understood that nothing in this definition of “Excluded Taxes” will prevent any
Original Indemnity Payment (as defined in subparagraph 5(C)(1) of the Lease) from being paid on an

After Tax Basis.

such day is not a Business Day, for the next preceding Business Day) by the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, or, if such rates are not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average

effective. In the case of a Fixed Rate Lock Termination that results from BNPPLC’s receipt of a
Qualified Prepayment, the date such Qualified Prepayment is applied to reduce the Lease Balance
will constitute the Fixed Rate Lock Termination Date. In the case of
any Fixed Rate Lock Termination resulting from an acceleration of the Designated Sale Date as
provided in clauses (2) or (3) the definition thereof in this Agreement, the Fixed Rate Lock
Termination Date will constitute the Designated Sale Date.



     “Fixed Rate Lock Notice” has the meaning assigned to it in subparagraph 3(B)(4) of the
Lease, which includes a reference to the form attached as Annex 2.



     “Fixed Rate Loss” means an amount reasonably determined in good faith by the Floating
Rate Payor to be its total losses and costs in connection with any Fixed Rate Lock Termination.

(1) preceding if a purchase of the Land by BNPPLC pursuant to the purchase option set forth in the
Ground Lease (as such option may be modified from time to time by agreement of lessor and

Improvements and the Land purchased by BNPPLC; and, provided further, a Lien will not qualify as
Fully Subordinated or Removable under clause (2) preceding if it provides or includes a power of

     “Interest Rate Swap” means an interest rate exchange transaction, entered into between
BNPPLC, as the fixed rate payor, and BNP Paribas, as the swap counterparty and floating rate payor,
under the then most recent form of Master Agreement published by the International Swaps and
Derivatives Association, Inc., as supplemented by the definitions and such schedules, annexes,
exhibits and supplements as are agreed upon by the parties thereto, pursuant to which BNP Paribas
agrees to pay monthly to BNPPLC a floating rate of interest equal to LIBOR and BNPPLC agrees to pay
monthly to BNP Paribas a fixed rate of interest for a term that commences on the Fixed Rate Lock
Date and ends on the last day of the scheduled Term of the Lease. The notional principal amount
used for any such interest rate exchange transaction will equal the Lease Balance calculated as of
the date such transaction is entered into.



     “Land” means the land described in Exhibit A attached to the Closing Certificate, the
Lease, the Ground Lease and the Purchase Agreement.



     “Lease” means the Amended and Restated Lease Agreement (RTP Data Center) dated as of the

amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms.



     “Lease Balance” as of any date means the amount equal to the sum of the Initial Lease
Balance, plus the Initial Advance, plus the sum of all Construction Advances, Carrying Costs
and other amounts added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance as provided in the Construction

day upon which such Period begins (the “Reset Date”), as reported:



Amended and Restated Common Definitions

and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 24




 









 









     (1) on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 page (or any replacement page or pages on
which London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars are displayed) by the
Reuters service; or




     (2) on Moneyline Telerate Page 3750, British Bankers Association Interest
Settlement Rates, or another news page selected by BNPPLC’s Parent if the Reuters
Screen LIBOR01 page is removed from the Reuters system or changed such that, in the
opinion of BNPPLC’s Parent, the interest rates shown on it no longer represent the
same kind of interest rates as when the Operative Documents were executed; or




     (b) if such offered rate is for any reason unavailable, the rate per annum determined
by BNPPLC’s Parent on the basis of rates offered for deposits in U.S. dollars by four major
banks in the London interbank market selected by BNPPLC’s Parent (“Reference Banks”) at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two London Banking Days preceding
the Reset Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period corresponding as
nearly as possible to the applicable Period. ( If this clause (b) applies, BNPPLC’s Parent
will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a
quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are provided, “LIBOR” will be the
arithmetic mean of the quotations. If, however, fewer than
two quotations are provided, “LIBOR” will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by
major banks in New York selected by BNPPLC’s Parent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York
time, on the Reset Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading U.S. banks for a period
corresponding as nearly as possible to the applicable Period.)


As used in this definition, “London Banking Day” means any day on which commercial banks are open
for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in
London, England.




     “LIBOR Period Election” means an election to have the Effective Rate for any Period
calculated by reference to LIBOR, rather than by reference to the ABR or the Fixed Rate, and to
have such period extend for approximately one month, three months or six months. The first
Construction Period will be subject to a LIBOR Period Election of one month; and, subject to the
limitations and qualifications set forth in this definition, NAI may make any subsequent Period
subject to a LIBOR Period Election by a notice given to BNPPLC in the form attached as
Annex 3 at least five Business Days prior to the commencement of such Period. After a
LIBOR Period Election becomes effective, it will remain in effect for all subsequent Periods until
a different election is made in accordance with the provisions of this definition and the
definition of ABR Period Election above. (For purposes of the Construction Agreement and the Lease
a LIBOR Period Election for any Period will also be considered the LIBOR Period Election in effect
on the Effective Date, Advance Date, Base Rent Commencement Date or Base Rent Date



Amended and Restated Common Definitions

and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 25





 









 







upon which such
Period begins.) Notwithstanding the foregoing:





	 	•	 	No LIBOR Period Election for a period of more than one month will be effective
prior to the Completion Date.
	 
	 	•	 	No LIBOR Period Election will be effective that would cause a Base Rent Period
to extend beyond the end of the scheduled Term or beyond a Fixed Rate Lock Date.
	 
	 	•	 	No LIBOR Period Election will commence or continue during any period that
begins on or after the Fixed Rate Lock Date applicable to a Fixed Rate Lock and that
ends before or on the date such Fixed Rate Lock is terminated as provided in
subparagraph 3(C) of the Lease.
	 
	 	•	 	Changes in any ABR Period Election or LIBOR Period Election will become
effective only upon the commencement of a new Period.
	 
	 	•	 	In the event BNPPLC determines that it would be unlawful (or any central bank
or governmental authority asserts that it would be unlawful) for BNPPLC,
BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant to provide or maintain Funding Advances during a
Period if the Carrying Costs or Base Rent accrued during such Period at a rate based
upon LIBOR, NAI will be deemed to have made such Period subject to an ABR Period
Election, not a LIBOR Period Election.
	 
	 	•	 	If for any reason (including BNPPLC’s receipt of a notice from NAI purporting
to make a LIBOR Period Election that is contrary to the foregoing provisions), BNPPLC
is unable to determine with certainty whether a particular Period is subject to a
specific LIBOR Period Election of one month, three months or six months, or if any
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the third Business Day preceding the
commencement of a particular Period, NAI will be deemed to have made an ABR Period
Election for that particular Period.





     “Lien” means any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien or charge of any kind
(including any agreement to give any of the foregoing, any conditional sale or other title

of a judgment rendered against BNPPLC and will also include any liens established against the
Property to secure past due Excluded Taxes), or (3) by third parties claiming under a deed or other
instrument duly executed by BNPPLC; provided, however, Liens Removable by BNPPLC will not include
(A) any Permitted Encumbrances (regardless of whether claimed through or under BNPPLC), (B) the
Operative Documents or any other document executed by BNPPLC with the knowledge of (and without
objection by) NAI or NAI’s counsel contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the
Operative Documents, (C) Liens which are neither lawfully claimed through or under BNPPLC (as
described above) nor claimed under a deed or other instrument duly executed by BNPPLC, (D) Liens
claimed by NAI or claimed through or under a conveyance made by NAI other than NAI’s conveyance of
the leasehold estate to BNPPLC under the Ground Lease, (E) Liens arising because of BNPPLC’s
compliance with Applicable Law, the Operative Documents, Permitted Encumbrances or any written
request made by NAI, (F) Liens securing the payment of property taxes or other amounts assessed
against the Property by any Governmental Authority, other than to secure the payment of past due
Excluded Taxes or to secure damages caused by (and attributed by any applicable principles of
comparative fault to) BNPPLC’s own Established Misconduct, (G) Liens resulting from or arising in
connection with any breach by NAI of the Operative Documents; or (H) Liens
resulting from or arising in connection with any Permitted Transfer that occurs more than
thirty days after any Designated Sale Date upon which, for any reason, NAI or any Applicable
Purchaser does not purchase BNPPLC’s interest in the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
for a price (when taken together with any Supplemental Payment paid by NAI pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, in the case of a purchase by an Applicable Purchaser) equal to the Break Even Price.

or any owner of the Property or any part of or interest in the Property because of (i) the Lease or
other Operative Documents, (ii) the status of record title to the Property, (iii) the ownership,
leasing, occupancy, sale or operation of the Property or any part thereof or interest therein, or
(iv) the Permitted Encumbrances; excluding, however, Excluded Taxes. “Local Impositions” will

accountants and environmental consultants), of any and every kind or character, foreseeable and
unforeseeable, liquidated and contingent, proximate and remote, known and unknown.




     “Market Quotation” means, with respect to any Fixed Rate Lock Termination, an amount
determined by the Floating Rate Payor on the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers.
Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid by the Floating Rate Payor in
consideration of an agreement between it and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into a
transaction (the “Replacement Transaction”) that would have the effect of preserving for the
Floating Rate Payor the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether the underlying
obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition
precedent) that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Fixed Rate Lock Termination, have
been required under the Fixed Rate Swap. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such
documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The Floating
Rate Payor (or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the
extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones)
on the effective date of or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Fixed Rate Lock
Termination. The date and time as of
which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith by the Floating Rate
Payor. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic
mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If
exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining
after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation
has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations will be disregarded. If
fewer than three quotations are provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of
such Fixed Rate Lock Termination cannot be determined.



     “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on (a) the assets, operations,
financial condition or businesses of NAI, (b) the ability of NAI to perform any of its obligations

perfection or status of any of BNPPLC’s interests in the Property or in any of the Operative
Documents.

Participant for purposes of the Operative Documents unless (i) such Person is approved to be a
Participant by NAI or (ii) such Person becomes a Participant when an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing. As of the Effective Date, NAI has approved only BANK OF

SACHS CREDIT PARTNERS L.P.; JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION; KEYBANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION; MORGAN STANLEY BANK; SUMITOMO MITSUI BANKING CORPORATION; and WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.

to time request NAI’s approval for other prospective Participants. NAI will not unreasonably
withhold or delay any approval required for any prospective Participant which is an Eligible
Financial Institution. However, as to any prospective Participant that is not already a party to
the Participation Agreement or an Eligible Financial Institution, NAI may withhold such approval in
its sole discretion. Further, it is understood that if giving such approval will increase NAI’s
liability for withholding taxes or other taxes not constituting Excluded Taxes under tax laws or

of the Operative Documents, as such Participation Agreement may be extended, supplemented, amended,
restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms. It is understood,
however, that because the Participation Agreement will expressly make NAI a third party beneficiary

Construction Advances under the Construction Agreement, NAI’s consent will be required to any
amendment of the Participation Agreement that limits or excuses such obligations.



     “Period” means a Construction Period or Base Rent Period.



     “Permitted Encumbrances” means (i) the encumbrances and other matters affecting the Property

     (1) exceed that reasonably required for the construction of the Construction Project in
accordance with the Construction Agreement or for the use and operation of the Property for
the purposes expressly permitted under subparagraph 2(A) of the Lease; or

two Business Days prior to such period by reference to the pricing grid below, based upon the ratio
calculated by dividing (1) Consolidated EBITDA for the then latest Rolling Four Quarters Period
that ended prior to (and for which NAI has reported earnings as necessary to compute Consolidated
EBITDA) into (2) the Consolidated Debt for Borrowed Money as of the end of such Rolling Four
Quarters Period. In each case, the Spread will be established at the Level in the pricing grid
below which corresponds to such ratio; provided, that:




     (a) promptly after earnings are reported by NAI for the latest quarter in any Rolling
Four Quarters Period, NAI must notify BNPPLC of any resulting change in the Spread under

the next period, NAI shall have provided BNPPLC with a written notice setting forth and
certifying the calculation under this definition that justifies the reduction;




     (b) if Carrying Costs are understated or Base Rent is underpaid for any Period
because of any misstatement, subsequently discovered, of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated
Debt for Borrowed Money, BNPPLC will be entitled to collect from NAI all additional payments
that would have been expected under the Operative Documents but for the misstatement,
together with interest on each such additional payment computed at the Default Rate from the
date it would have been expected to the date it is



Amended and Restated Common Definitions

and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 36





 









 





actually
paid; and




     (c) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this definition, on any date when an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Spread will equal the Default Rate less
the Effective Rate.



	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Ratio of Consolidated Debt for	 	 
	 	 	Borrowed Money to	 	 
	Levels	 	Consolidated EBITDA	 	Spread

All determinations of the Spread by BNPPLC will, in the absence of clear and demonstrable error, be
binding and conclusive for purposes of the Operative Documents. Further BNPPLC may, but will not
be required, to rely on the determination of the Spread set forth in any notice delivered by NAI as
described above in clause (a) of this definition.

However, any party to any Operative Document or Related Document may change its address above or in
the Related Document, as applicable, by written notice to the other parties to such Operative
Document or Related Document given in accordance with this provision.



     2. Severability. If any term or provision of any Operative
Document or the
application thereof is to any extent held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and
unenforceable, the remainder of such document, or the application of such term or provision other
than to the extent to which it is invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby.



     3. No Merger. There will be no merger of the Lease or of the
leasehold
estate created by the Lease or of the mortgage and security interest granted in
subparagraph 4(C)(1) of the Lease with any other interest in the Property by reason of the fact
that the same person may acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, the Lease or the leasehold estate
created thereby or such mortgage and security interest and any other interest in the Property,
unless all Persons with an interest in the Property that would be adversely affected by any such
merger specifically agree in writing that such a merger has occurred. There will be no merger of
the Purchase Agreement or of the purchase options or obligations created by the Purchase Agreement
with any other interest in the Property by reason of the fact that the same person may acquire or
hold, directly or indirectly, the rights and options granted by the Purchase Agreement and any
other interest in the Property, unless all Persons with an interest in the Property that would be
adversely affected by any such merger specifically agree in writing that such a merger has
occurred.



     4. No Implied Waiver. The failure of any party to any
Operative
Document to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any covenant or agreement therein or
to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained therein will not be construed as a waiver
or a relinquishment thereof for the future. The waiver of or redress for any breach of any
Operative Document by any party thereto will not prevent a similar subsequent act from constituting
a violation. Any express waiver of any provision of any Operative Document will affect only the
term or condition specified in such waiver and only for the time and in the manner specifically
stated therein. No waiver by any party to any Operative Document of any provision therein will
be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by the party to be bound by



Amended and Restated Common Definitions

and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 41







 









 







the waiver. A receipt by any party to any Operative Document of any payment thereunder (including
the receipt by BNPPLC of any Rent paid under the Lease) with knowledge of the breach by another
party of any covenant or agreement contained in that or any other Operative Document will not be
deemed a waiver of such breach.




     5. Entire and Only Agreements. The Operative Documents
supersede any prior
negotiations and agreements between BNPPLC and NAI concerning the Property, and no amendment or
modification of any Operative Document will be binding or valid unless expressed in a writing
executed by all parties to such Operative Document.



     6. Binding Effect. Except to the extent, if any, expressly
provided to the
contrary in any Operative Document with respect to assignments thereof, all of the covenants,
agreements, terms and conditions to be observed and performed by the parties to the Operative
Documents will be applicable to and binding upon their respective successors and, to the extent
assignment is permitted thereunder, their respective assigns.



     7. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence as to all
obligations
created by the Operative Documents and as to all notices expressly required by the Operative
Documents.



     8. Governing Law. Each Operative Document will be governed by
and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to conflict or
choice of laws principles that might require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.



     9. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph and section
headings contained in the
Operative Documents are for convenience only and will in no way enlarge or limit the scope or
meaning of the various and several provisions thereof.



     10. Negotiated Documents. All parties to each Operative
Document and their
counsel have reviewed and revised or requested revisions to such Operative Document, and the usual
rule of construction that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not
apply to the construction or interpretation of any Operative Documents or any amendments thereof.



     11. Terms Not Expressly Defined in an Operative Document. As
used in any
Operative Document, a capitalized term that is not defined therein or in this Agreement, but is
defined in another Operative Document, will have the meaning ascribed to it in the other Operative
Document.



     12. Other Terms and References. Words of any gender used in
each
Operative
Document will be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular
number will be held to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.



Amended and Restated Common Definitions

and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 42






 









 







References in any Operative Document to Paragraphs, subparagraphs, Sections, subsections or other
subdivisions refer to the corresponding Paragraphs, subparagraphs, Sections, subsections or
subdivisions of that Operative Document, unless specific reference is made to another document or
instrument. References in any Operative Document to any Schedule or Exhibit refer to the
corresponding Schedule or Exhibit attached to that Operative Document, which are made a part
thereof by such reference. All capitalized terms used in each Operative Document which refer to
other documents will be deemed to refer to such other documents as they may be renewed, extended,
supplemented, amended or otherwise modified from time to time, provided such documents are not
renewed, extended or modified in breach of any provision contained in the Operative Documents or,
in the case of any other document to which BNPPLC or NAI is a party or intended beneficiary,
without its consent. All accounting terms used but not specifically defined in any Operative
Document will be construed in accordance with GAAP. The words “this [Agreement]”, “herein”,
“hereof”, “hereby”, “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in each Operative Document
refer to that Operative Document as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly
so limited. The phrases “this Paragraph”, “this subparagraph”, “this Section”, “this subsection”
and similar phrases used in any Operative Document refer only to the Paragraph, subparagraph,
Section, subsection or other subdivision described in which the phrase occurs. As used in the
Operative Documents the word “or” is not exclusive, and the words “include”, “including” and
similar terms will be construed as if followed by “without limitation to”. The rule of ejusdem
generis will not be applied to limit the generality of a term in any of the Operative Documents
when followed by specific examples. When used to qualify any representation or warranty made by a
Person, the phrases “to the knowledge of [such Person]” or “to the best knowledge of [such Person]”
are intended to mean only that such Person does not have knowledge of facts or circumstances which
make the representation or warranty false or misleading in some material respect; such phrases are
not intended to suggest that the Person does indeed know the representation or warranty is true.




     13. Execution in Counterparts. To facilitate execution, each
of the
Operative Documents may be executed in multiple identical counterparts. It will not be necessary
that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required
to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts, taken together, will collectively
constitute a single instrument. But it will not be necessary in making proof of any of the
Operative Documents to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the
respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties to such document. Any signature page
may be detached from one counterpart and then attached to a second counterpart with identical
provisions without impairing the legal effect of the signatures on the signature page. Signing and
sending a counterpart (or a signature page detached from the counterpart) by facsimile or other
electronic means to another party will have the same legal effect as signing and delivering an
original counterpart to the other party. A copy (including a copy produced by facsimile or
other electronic means) of any signature page that has been signed by or on behalf of a party to
any of the Operative Documents will be as effective as the original signature page for the purpose
of



Amended and Restated Common Definitions

and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 43






 









 






proving
such party’s agreement to be bound.


     14. Not a Partnership, Etc. Nothing in any Operative Document
is intended to
create any partnership, joint venture, or other joint enterprise between NAI and BNPPLC or any
other Interested Party.



     15. No Fiduciary Relationship Intended. Neither the execution
of the
Operative Documents or other documents referenced in this Agreement nor the administration thereof
by BNPPLC will create any fiduciary obligations of BNPPLC (or any other Interested Party) to NAI.
Moreover, BNPPLC and NAI disclaim any intent to create any fiduciary or special relationship
between themselves (or on the part of any other Interested Party) under or by reason of the
Operative Documents or the transactions described therein or any other documents or agreements
referenced therein.



     16. Amendment and Restatement of Prior Agreement. This
Agreement amends,
restates and replaces entirely the Prior Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement.

Annex 2




Fixed Rate Lock Notice




[Date]




BNP Paribas Leasing Corporation

12201 Merit Drive, Suite 860

Dallas, Texas 75251

Attention: Lloyd G. Cox, Managing Director

Telecopy: (972) 788-9140




Gentlemen:




     Capitalized terms used in this letter are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in
the Amended and Restated Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) dated as of
November 29, 2007, between you, BNP Paribas Leasing Corporation, and the undersigned, Network
Appliance, Inc.. By this letter, which is given pursuant to subparagraph 3(B)(4) of the
Lease, NAI requests that BNPPLC promptly establish a Fixed Rate for a notional amount equal to the
Lease Balance as of the date of this letter for use in the calculation of the Effective Rate for
all Base Rent Periods commencing on or after the following Fixed Rate Lock Date:                     ,
20___.



     As contemplated in the conditions set forth in subparagraph 3(B)(4) of the Lease, such
Fixed Rate Lock Date is the first Business Day of a calendar month which falls after the projected
Base Rent Commencement Date; such Fixed Rate Lock Date does not fall prior to the end of any Base
Rent Period which has commenced or will commence before BNPPLC receives this notice; and NAI
expects BNPPLC to receive this notice more than ten days prior to such Fixed Rate Lock Date.



     In an earlier phone conversation today between a representative of NAI and                      at the
New York Branch of BNP Paribas, NAI requested an estimate from BNP Paribas of the Fixed Rate that
would be established by BNPPLC and BNP Paribas entering into an Interest Rate Swap. The estimate
provided by telephone was:                      percent (___%) per annum.



     By this letter, NAI confirms that it will accept such a rate or any lower rate as the Fixed
Rate for purposes of the Lease.


NOTE: BNPPLC will be entitled to disregard this notice if the conditions to a Fixed
Rate Lock, as specified in subparagraph 3(B)(4) of the Lease, have not been satisfied.
However, NAI requests that BNPPLC notify NAI immediately if for any reason BNPPLC believes this
notice will not be effective.

Annex 4




Minimum Insurance Requirements




A. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE COMPLETION DATE.




     1. Other Requirements Not Affected: The insurance coverages required by this Annex
represent minimum requirements of BNPPLC and other Interested Parties and are not to be construed
to modify or limit NAI’s indemnities or other agreements in the Agreement to which this Annex is
attached or in any other Operative Document. Such required coverages do not constitute a
representation or determination by BNPPLC of the minimum insurance coverages NAI should maintain
for its own protection.



     2. Requirements Apply Only to the Property: Further, the insurance coverages
required by this Annex apply only to the Property, it being understood that nothing in this Annex
is intended to impose minimum insurance requirements upon NAI with respect to other properties
owned or leased by NAI.



     3. Failure to Obtain: Failure of BNPPLC to demand certificate or other evidence of
full compliance with these insurance requirements, or failure of BNPPLC to identify a deficiency
from evidence that is provided, will not be construed as a waiver of NAI’s obligation to maintain
required insurance.



     4. Copies of Policies: NAI must provide to BNPPLC, at the offices of NAI, copies of
all insurance policies required herein within ten (10) days after receipt of a request for such
copies from BNPPLC or as soon as practicable if policies are in the process of being issued by the
applicable insurer. Such copies must be certified as complete and correct by an authorized
representative of the applicable insurer, subject to availability from the insurance company.



     5. Inconsistent Endorsements. The insurance policies maintained to comply with these
requirements will contain no endorsements that restrict, limit, or exclude coverages in any manner
that is inconsistent with these express requirements without the prior express written approval of
BNPPLC.



     6. Limits of Liability. The limits of liability necessary to satisfy these
requirements may be provided by a single policy of insurance or by a combination of primary and
umbrella/excess policies, but in no event will the total limits of liability available for any one
occurrence or accident be less than the amount required herein.



     7. Additional
Insured Status. Additional insured status will be
provided in favor


Annex 4 – Page 1





 









 








of
BNPPLC and other Interested Parties on all liability insurance required herein except workers’
compensation and employer’s liability. Such additional insured status will be provided on a basis
that neither limits coverage to the additional insured by reason of its negligence (sole or
otherwise) nor excludes coverage for completed operations with respect to construction of the
Improvements.



     8. Primary Liability. The insurance policies maintained to comply with these
requirements will be primary to all insurance available to BNPPLC and other Interested Parties,
collectively or individually, with BNPPLC and other Interested Parties’ insurance being excess,
secondary and non-contributing (except in the case of workers’ compensation and employer’s
liability insurance). Where necessary, coverage will be endorsed to provide such primary
liability.



B. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE BEFORE THE COMPLETION DATE.




     1. General Terms and Conditions.




A. Definitions: For purposes of this Annex:




“Construction Period Policies” means insurance policies that satisfy
the minimum requirements set forth in this Annex and that NAI has obtained or
required its Contractors to obtain with respect to the Property prior to the
Completion Date.




“Contractor” will include subcontractors of any tier.




“ISO” means Insurance Services Office.




B. Status and Rating of Insurance Company. All insurance coverages required herein
prior to the Completion Date will be written through insurance companies admitted to do
business in the State of North Carolina and rated upon each renewal no less than A-: VII in
the then most current edition of A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide.




C. Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverages carried by NAI with respect to
the Construction Project, whether required herein or not, will provide a waiver of
subrogation in favor of BNPPLC and other Interested Parties.




D. Release and Waiver: Without limiting other waivers or provisions in favor
of BNPPLC and other Interested Parties in any of the Operative Documents or other
attachments thereto, NAI hereby releases, and agrees to cause all Contractors performing any
Work prior to the Completion Date (other than subcontractors providing goods and/or



Annex 4 – Page 2




 









 









services
with a value of less than $100,000) to release, BNPPLC and all other Interested Parties from
any and all claims or causes of action whatsoever that NAI and/or such Contractors might
otherwise now or hereafter have resulting from or in any way connected with any loss covered
by insurance, whether required herein or not, or which would have been covered by insurance
required herein but for a failure of NAI and/or its Contractors to maintain such insurance.




E. Initial Insurance Representations to BNPPLC and Other Interested Parties: NAI
represents, acknowledges and agrees that:




     1. Any Construction Period Policies not previously obtained will be
obtained by NAI (or by the primary Contractor engaged by NAI to perform the
Work), and the initial premiums for all Construction Period Policies will be
paid, before NAI requests Construction Advances that cause the Lease Balance
to exceed $2,000,000; and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Construction Agreement, BNPPLC may refuse to fund any Construction Advances
that would cause the Lease Balance to exceed $2,000,000 prior to such time
as BNPPLC is satisfied that NAI has obtained and paid the premiums for the
Construction Period Policies. Moreover, in the case of the Builder’s Risk
Policy, the premium must be paid or prepaid for the entire period through
the projected Completion Date before the Lease Balance exceeds $2,000,000.




     2. The coverages provided by the Construction Period Policies will not
be terminated or modified to reduce, limit or qualify coverages in any
material respect without BNPPLC’s prior written consent in each case by
reason of any act or omission on the part of NAI or anyone acting for or
authorized to act for NAI (including any Contractor engaged by NAI to obtain
the Construction Period Policies for NAI). Without limiting the foregoing,
NAI will not do or authorize any act or omission that could cause the
coverage provided with respect to any Improvements by the Builder’s Risk
Policy to expire or lapse before the Completion Date.




     3. NAI must notify BNPPLC with reasonable promptness of any possible
damage claims known to NAI that NAI believes are, individually or taken
together, reasonably likely to a exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of any
aggregate limit of the Builder’s Risk Policy required herein.




     4. NAI will endeavor in good faith to cause each certificate of
insurance which is provided to BNPPLC by an insurer, or its authorized



Annex 4 – Page 3




 









 









representative, at the request of NAI in regard to any Construction Period
Policies to include the following express provision:




This is to certify that the policies of insurance described
herein have been issued to the Insured for whom this
certificate is executed and are in force at this time. In
the event of cancellation or non-renewal of coverage
affecting the certificate holder, other than by reason of
nonpayment of premium, thirty (30) days prior written notice
will be given to the certificate holder by certified mail or
registered mail, return receipt requested. In the event of
cancellation or non-renewal of coverage affecting the
certificate holder by reason of nonpayment of premium, ten
(10) days prior written notice will be given to the
certificate holder by certified mail or registered mail,
return receipt requested.




It is understood, however, that an insurer issuing such a certificate may
decline to include the foregoing statement in the certificate, in which case
NAI will instead deliver the certificate to BNPPLC with a cover letter from
NAI itself which states substantially as follows:




Enclosed is a certificate of insurance, which has been
issued by an insurer or its authorized representative, and
which we are providing to you to confirm that policies
described in the certificate have been issued to NAI or
another insured named in the certificate and are in force at
this time. NAI also certifies to you that such policies
have been issued, and in the event of any cancellation,
non-renewal, or reduction in coverage affecting you (BNP
Paribas Leasing Corporation) or other Interested Parties,
NAI will give you thirty (30) days prior written notice by
certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested.




     5. NAI will also endeavor in good faith to cause each
Construction Period Policy to be endorsed to provide, in effect, that (A) in
the event of cancellation, non-renewal, or reduction in coverage affecting
BNPPLC, other than by reason of nonpayment of premium, thirty (30)
days prior written notice will be given by the insurer to BNPPLC by
certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested; and (B) in the
event of cancellation, non-renewal, or reduction in coverage affecting
BNPPLC by reason of nonpayment of premium, ten (10) days prior written



Annex 4 – Page 4





 









 









notice will be given by the insurer to BNPPLC by certified mail or
registered mail, return receipt requested.



     2. Commercial General Liability Insurance. Throughout the period from the Effective
Date to the Completion Date, NAI will maintain commercial general liability insurance in accordance
with the following requirements:




A. Coverage: Such insurance will cover liability (as to claims covered by the form
of CGL policy specified below, including claims for bodily injury and property damage)

Operative Documents. Defense will be provided as an additional benefit and not included
within the limit of liability.




B. Form: Commercial General Liability Occurrence form (ISO CG 0001, dated 12 04, or

E. Deductible or Self Insured Retention Under Liability Policies: If a gap in the
liability insurance coverage provided to BNPPLC or another Interested Party under any
Construction Period Policy results from any deductible, self-insured retention or other
similar arrangement to which NAI agrees, then such gap must be covered by one or more other
Construction Period Policies, such that liability insurance protection afforded to BNPPLC
and other Interested Parties by all such Construction Period Policies, taken together, is no
less than it would be if NAI had not agreed to the deductible, self-insured retention or
other similar arrangement.



     3. Workers’ Compensation/Employer’s Liability Insurance. Throughout the period from
the Effective Date to the Completion Date, NAI will maintain workers’ compensation and employer’s

Completion Date, NAI will maintain or cause to be maintained property insurance (Builders Risk
Insurance) in accordance with the following requirements:




A. Insureds: Protection will extend to BNPPLC as a Named Insured or Additional
Named Insured as its interest may appear; and the policy will be modified if necessary so
that the protection afforded to BNPPLC is not reduced or impaired by acts or omissions of
NAI or any other beneficiary or insured. (Such modification of the policy may be by
endorsement comparable to a standard mortgagee clause; not limited, however, by its terms to
BNPPLC’s rights “as a mortgagee” and not conditioned upon rights of the insurer to be
subrogated to BNPPLC’s rights under the Operative Documents in the event of a payment of
insurance proceeds to BNPPLC.)




B. Covered Property: Such insurance will cover:




	 	i.	 	Improvements and any equipment made or to be made a permanent part of the
Property;

	 	iv.	 	property including materials and supplies at other locations but intended for
use at the site;
	 
	 	v.	 	property including materials and supplies in transit to the site for
installation; and





Annex 4 – Page 7





 









 










	 	vi.	 	temporary structures (e.g., scaffolding, falsework, and temporary buildings)
located at the site.






C. Form: Coverage will be on an “all risk” form, will include theft and flood and
be written on a completed-value basis with no co-insurance provision. No protective
safeguard warranty will be permitted.




D. Amount of Insurance: Real property coverage will be provided in an amount equal
at all times to the full replacement value, exclusive of land, foundation, footings,
excavations and grading.




E. Deductibles. Deductibles applicable to the Builder’s Risk Policy will not exceed
the following:



	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	i.	 	All Risks of Direct Damage, Per Occurrence, except flood or water damage	 	$50,000
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	ii.	 	Delayed Opening Waiting Period	 	30 Days
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	iii	 	Water Damage (including flood), Per Occurrence	 	$100,000; or (in the case of flood) excess of NFIP if in Flood Zone A

policy agree that it is terminated;
	 
	 	ii.	 	any termination or expiration of the Lease upon the Designated Sale Date, which

insureds other than NAI have ceased;

provide, by endorsement or otherwise, that BNPPLC and other Interested Parties are also insured
