 4. Delivery of Premises. Assignor and Assignee acknowledge and agree that possession of the
Premises shall only be delivered to Assignee on the Effective Date. In addition, Assignor and Assignee also acknowledge and agree that Assignee shall accept the Premises in an “AS IS” condition and, except as set forth in Section 9(a)(v)
below, Assignor has made no representations or warranties regarding the physical condition of the Premises or its suitability for Assignee’s use and that Assignee is relying on its own independent investigation of the Premises in entering into
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignor states that to the best of its knowledge, without any independent investigation or special inquiry (i) it has received no written notice of violations of local, state or federal building

Premises is attached as Exhibit B. Assignor agrees that in the event of any casualty loss or condemnation to the Premises between the date hereof and the Effective Date that would give the Assignor the right to terminate the Lease with respect to
all or a part of the Premises that Assignor shall not exercise such right without the consent of Assignee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Assignor also agrees that Assignor shall provide Assignee with early
access to the Premises for the purposes of inspecting the Premises relating to improvements or alterations that Assignee may desire to make on the Premises and related activities, subject to appropriate insurance and indemnities from Assignee.

relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises. 
  
 6.

Amendment to Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D and (b) the Assignor and the Assignee have agreed to terms on and executed the Bill of Sale to be attached hereto as Exhibit C; and (ii) March 1, 2005. The date on which the
foregoing conditions are satisfied is referred to as the “Effective Date” and upon the occurrence of such date, this Agreement shall be considered a final agreement (and not executory) and no further action on behalf of Assignor or
Assignee shall be required. If on or before December 31, 2004 (x) the Landlord shall not have consented to this Agreement and entered into the First Amendment to Lease or (y) Assignor and the Assignee have not agreed to terms on and executed the
Bill of Sale, this Agreement shall automatically terminate. 
  
 7.
Master Service Agreement. Assignor and Assignee acknowledge that Assignor shall have the right, pursuant to that certain Master Service Agreement dated as of March 31, 2003 between Assignor and Assignee (the “MSA”), as supplemented
by the Amendment to the Master Service Agreement dated of even date herewith, to use and occupy the portion of the Premises referred to as Collocation Room #5 for the purpose of maintaining and operating its IP infrastructure, fiber termination
panels and other equipment. Assignor and Assignee acknowledge that the Assignor’s right to use said Collocation Room #5 in connection with the foregoing is only pursuant to the MSA and is not a right under the Master Lease and shall be subject
to all of the provisions of the MSA, as it may be amended from time to time. In the event that Assignee defaults on its obligations under this Agreement, Assignor shall have the option to terminate the MSA with respect to Collocation Room #5, in
Assignor’s sole discretion. 
  
 8. Security Deposit.

with any such reassignment of the Lease to the Assignor, (y) Assignor shall have a right of reentry to the Premises to effectuate an orderly transition of the occupancy of the Premises, and (z) Assignor shall reimburse Assignee for any Security
Deposit, whether in the form of cash or a letter of credit, held by Landlord, less any amounts which Landlord actually applies on account of defaults by Assignee under the Lease and any actual damages suffered by Assignor on account of any such
defaults by Assignee. 
  
 11. Prorations. All expenses with
respect to the Premises shall be apportioned as of the Effective Date as follows, with Assignee being responsible for and getting the benefit of all such items during the entire day on which Effective Date occurs and thereafter and Assignor being

 B. Late Charges: Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Base
Monthly Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to: administrative, processing,
accounting, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any contract, revolving credit, mortgage, or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Monthly Rent or other sum due from Tenant shall not
be received by Landlord or its designee within five (5) business days after the rent is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five (5%) percent of such overdue amount, which late charge shall be due and payable on the same date
that the overdue amount was due. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant, excluding interest and attorney’s fees and costs. If any
rent or other sum due from Tenant remains delinquent for a period in excess of thirty (30) days then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not paid when due at the Agreed Interest Rate specified
in Section 19.J following the date such amount became due until paid. Acceptance by Landlord of such late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of
the other rights and remedies granted hereunder, in the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Monthly Rent, then the Base Monthly Rent shall automatically become due
and payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary. 
  
 C. Security Deposit: Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum of One Million Four
Hundred Twenty Seven Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,427,000.00) (“Security Deposit”). Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security Deposit, may use the Security Deposit in business, and shall not be required to segregate it from
its general accounts. Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of the Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to payment of Base Monthly Rent or other
charges, Landlord may, to the extent reasonably necessary to remedy Tenant’s default, use any or all of the Security Deposit towards payment of the following: (i) Base Monthly Rent or other charges in default; (ii) any other amount which
Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default including, but not limited to Tenant’s failure to restore or clean the Premises following vacation thereof. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or
applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand from Landlord, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its full original amount, and shall pay to Landlord such other sums as necessary to
reimburse Landlord for any sums paid by Landlord. Tenant may not assign or encumber the Security Deposit without the consent of Landlord. Any attempt to do so shall be void and shall not be binding on Landlord. The Security Deposit shall be returned
to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date and surrender of the Premises to Landlord, less any amount deducted in accordance with this Section, together with Landlord’s written notice 

  

 Page 3 









 
itemizing the amounts and purposes for such deduction. In the event of termination of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, Landlord may deliver or credit
the Security Deposit to Landlord’s successor in interest in the Premises and thereupon be relieved of further responsibility with respect to the Security Deposit to the extent that Landlord’s successor assumes all obligations under this
Lease. 
  
 Landlord agrees that in lieu of a cash Security Deposit, Tenant may
deposit a letter of credit in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Landlord shall be entitled to draw against the letter of credit at any time provided only that Landlord certifies to the issuer of the letter of credit that Tenant is in default
under the Lease. Tenant shall keep the letter of credit in effect during the entire Lease Term, as the same may be extended, plus a period of four (4) weeks after expiration of the Lease Term. At least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of any
letter of credit, the term thereof shall be renewed or extended for a period of at least one (1) year. Tenant’s failure to so renew or extend the letter of credit shall be a material default of this Lease by Tenant. In the event Landlord draws
against the letter of credit, Tenant shall replenish the existing letter of credit or cause a new letter of credit to be issued such that the aggregate amount of letters of credit available to Landlord at all times during the Lease Term is the
amount of the Security Deposit originally required. 
  
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant may reduce the amount of the Security Deposit upon the following conditions: (i) after the 36th month of the Lease Term, the amount of the Security Deposit may be reduced by $713,500.00 provided Tenant has not been in monetary
default under the Lease during the previous 36 months; (ii) after the 72nd month of the Lease Term, the amount of the Security Deposit may be reduced by $583,500.00 provided Tenant has not been in monetary default under the Lease during the previous
36 months; and (iii) provided Tenant has not been in monetary default under the Lease during the Lease Term, the amount of the Security Deposit shall be reduced to $130,000.00 after Tenant’s parent company, Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc., has
posted a net profit (before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization expenses) for four (4) consecutive quarters. 
  
 5. CONSTRUCTION: 
  
 A. Landlord’s Work: Within the first two (2) months of the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall: (i) ensure that the Building structure and
Building exterior is in compliance with all applicable city, state, and government zoning codes, laws and regulations (excluding ADA, which is specifically addressed below); and (ii) ensure that the Premises are properly closed with respect to
Hazardous Materials associated with the Premises’ former use, and deliver to Tenant all related documentation in Landlord’s possession. Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for the cost of: (i) putting the existing Building systems
(excluding Building systems installed as part of the Tenant Improvements, or Building systems Tenant intends to remove) in good operating condition and repair including the plumbing, HVAC, and electrical; (ii) any required ADA modifications to the
Premises, excluding ADA requirements for new Tenant Improvements and improvements Tenant intends to remove. Landlord also agrees to reimburse Tenant the sum of Fifty Two Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($52,000.00) towards Tenant’s cost of
installing a new roof membrane on the Building within the first year of the Lease Term. 
  

 Page 4 









 B. Tenant Construction: Within the first year of the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to remove the
existing disc media fabrication improvements at the Premises and install new improvements (“Tenant Improvements”) consistent with Tenant’s use of the Premises as a data center. Tenant shall cause all improvements to the Premises not
included in Landlord’s Work to be constructed at Tenant’s expense by a general contractor selected by Tenant (“General Contractor”) in accordance with construction plans and outline specifications prepared at Tenant’s
expense by an architect selected by Tenant (“Tenant’s Architect”), to be attached to this Lease as Exhibit “B” (“Tenant Improvement Plans and Specifications”). The Tenant Improvements Plans and
Specifications shall include any information required by the relevant agencies regarding Tenant’s use of Hazardous Materials, if applicable. Prior to commencing construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall: (i) obtain all required
governmental approvals and permits; and (ii) provide Landlord seven (7) days’ prior notice so that Landlord may post a notice of nonresponsibility. Landlord acknowledges that the Tenant improvements will include typical improvements which
support combined office and data-telecommunications center uses, which may consist of the following: (i) raised floors; (ii) floor-to-ceiling equipment racks; (iii) additional power panels, power converters, and related equipment and fixtures to
provide within the Premises additional electric power to support telecommunication equipment; (iv) a UPS system, including back-up, diesel powered generators; (v) fiber conduit, cabling, and risers to support servers, routers, and other equipment;
(vi) antenna in the antenna farm; (vii) specialized HVAC systems to support temperature requirements for data-telecommunications areas, including dry cooler units; and (viii) wall partitions to create separate office areas. As part of the Tenant
Improvements, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost, to install a trench and conduit from the street to the carrier rooms to be located within the Premises, provided that plans and specifications and the contractor to be retained for such
work are subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Any Tenant Improvement work shall be conducted at Tenant’s risk and in accordance with all Laws. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all costs, damages,
claims, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) suffered by or claimed against Landlord, directly or indirectly, based on, arising out of or resulting from Tenant’s construction of the Tenant Improvements. All costs associated
with Tenant Improvements shall be paid by Tenant. Immediately upon completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord a complete set of half-size (15” x 21”) vellum as-built drawings for the Tenant Improvements and a
certificate of occupancy for the Premises. The Tenant Improvements shall be the property of Tenant until the expiration of the Lease Term or any earlier termination of the Lease, at which time the Tenant Improvements shall become the property of
Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises, and title thereto shall automatically vest in Landlord without any payment therefor. 
  
 6. ACCEPTANCE OF POSSESSION AND COVENANTS TO SURRENDER: 
  
 A. Delivery and Acceptance: Landlord shall deliver and Tenant shall accept possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date provided, however,
that Landlord shall retain a right of entry to complete Landlord’s Work provided Landlord does not interfere with 

  

 Page 5 









 
construction of Tenant Improvements. Tenant acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to conduct, and has conducted, such inspections of the Premises as it
deems necessary to evaluate its condition. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Premises in its then existing condition, subject to all Restrictions and without representation or warranty by
Landlord except as provided in Section 5 above. 
  
 Landlord and Tenant hereby
acknowledge that: (i) Komag Corporation (“Komag”) currently occupies the Premises; and (ii) Landlord and Komag have executed a lease termination agreement, attached as Exhibit “D”, that terminates Komag’s lease on
December 31, 1999. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall use its reasonable best efforts to assure that Komag vacates and surrenders the Premises, which efforts shall include, without limitation, the prompt initiation of an unlawful detainer
proceeding if necessary. Landlord shall be obligated to deliver the Premises to Tenant in such condition (the “Required Condition”) that it is free of possession by Komag with equipment and fixtures of Komag removed or left in place
pursuant to Exhibit “E” attached hereto. 
  
 B. Late Delivery: In the event Landlord does not deliver the Premises to Tenant in the Required Condition by January 1, 2000, then the Commencement Date shall not occur until such delivery is made. Further, in the event Landlord does
not deliver the Premises to Tenant in the Required Condition by February 1, 2000, then in addition to such delayed Commencement Date, the Base Monthly Rent which is otherwise payable commencing on the 6th month thereafter shall be abated by a per
diem (calculated on a 30-day month using the Base Monthly Rent rate applicable in the 6th month of the Lease Term) amount for each day in the period commencing on February 1, 2000 and ending on the date the Premises are delivered to Tenant in the
Required Condition. The rent abatement for a delay in the Commencement Date shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Tenant with respect to the failure by Landlord to deliver the Premises to Tenant in the Required Condition. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event: (i) Komag has
not obtained a closure permit (or other evidence from applicable governmental agencies) by January 15, 2000 affirming that Komag has removed all Hazardous Materials associated with its use at the Premises; and (ii) Base Monthly Rent is not already
being abated pursuant to the preceding paragraph, then this Lease shall not be void or voidable nor shall Landlord be liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom; however, Landlord shall pay to Tenant an amount equal to all Holdover Rent due
from Komag to Landlord pursuant to paragraph 5 of the attached Exhibit “D”. 
  
 C. Condition Upon Surrender: Tenant further agrees on the Expiration Date or on the sooner termination of this Lease, to surrender the Premises to Landlord in good condition and repair, normal wear and tear
excepted. In this regard, “normal wear and tear” shall be construed to mean wear and tear caused to the Premises by the natural aging process which occurs in spite of prudent application of the best standards for maintenance, repair
replacement, and janitorial practices, and does not include items of neglected or deferred maintenance. In any event, Tenant shall cause the following to be done prior to the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease: (i) all interior
walls shall be repaired, patched and otherwise made paint-ready, (ii) all tiled floors shall be cleaned and waxed, (iii) all 

  

 Page 6 









 
carpets shall be cleaned and shampooed, (iv) all broken, marred, stained or non-conforming acoustical ceiling tiles shall be replaced, (v) all cabling placed
above the ceiling by Tenant or Tenant’s contractors shall be removed, (vi) all windows shall be washed; (vii) the HVAC system shall be serviced by a reputable and licensed service firm and left in “good operating condition and repair”
as so certified by such firm, (viii) the plumbing and electrical systems and lighting shall be placed in good order and repair (including replacement of any burned out, discolored or broken light bulbs, ballasts, or lenses. On or before the
Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all its personal property and trade fixtures from the Premises. All property and fixtures not so removed shall be deemed as abandoned by Tenant. At the expiration of the Lease
Term, Landlord shall not have the right to require that Tenant remove from the Premises any of the Tenant Improvements (other than Tenant’s equipment, fixtures and components) or any Alterations made with Landlord’s consent unless
Landlord, at the time of granting such consent, indicates that the subject Alteration must be removed upon the expiration of the Lease Term. With respect to Permitted Alterations as defined in Section 7.A below, Tenant shall ascertain from Landlord
within ninety (90) days before the Expiration Date whether Landlord desires to have such Permitted Alterations removed. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Building which results from Tenant’s removal of any Permitted Alteration and any
improvements and/or Tenant’s equipment, fixtures, and components. Such repair and restoration shall include causing the Premises to be brought into compliance with all applicable building codes and laws in effect at the time of the removal to
the extent such compliance is necessitated by the repair and restoration work. 
  
 D. Failure to Surrender: If the Premises are not surrendered at the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease in the condition required by this Section 6, Tenant shall be deemed in a holdover tenancy
pursuant to this Section 6.C and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding
tenant founded on such delay and costs incurred by Landlord in returning the Premises to the required condition, plus interest at the Agreed Interest Rate. Any holding over after the termination or Expiration Date with Landlord’s express
written consent, shall be construed as month-to-month tenancy, terminable on thirty (30) days written notice from either party, and Tenant shall pay as Base Monthly Rent to Landlord a rate equal to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Base
Monthly Rent due in the month preceding the termination or Expiration Date, plus all other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease. Any holding over shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified, except those provisions relating
to the Lease Term and any options to extend or renew, which provisions shall be of no further force and effect following the expiration of the applicable exercise period. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or
sooner termination of this Lease without Landlord’s consent, Tenant’s continued possession shall be on the basis of a tenancy at sufferance and Tenant shall pay as rent during the holdover period an amount equal to one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the Base Monthly Rent due in the month preceding the termination or Expiration Date, plus all other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease. This provision shall survive the termination or expiration of the Lease.

 7. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS: 
  
 A. Tenant’s Alterations: Tenant shall not make, or suffer to be made, any alteration or addition to the Premises
(“Alterations”), or any part thereof, without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent and delivering to Landlord the proposed architectural and structural plans for all such Alterations at least fifteen (15) days prior to the start
of construction. If such Alterations affect the structure of the Building, Tenant additionally agrees to reimburse Landlord its reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in reviewing Tenant’s plans. After obtaining Landlord’s consent, which
consent shall state whether or not Landlord will require Tenant to remove such Alteration at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall not proceed to make such Alterations until Tenant has obtained all required governmental
approvals and permits. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord: (i) written notice of the anticipated and actual start-date of the work, (ii) a complete set of half-size (15” X 21”) vellum as-built drawings, and (iii) a certificate of occupancy
for the work upon completion of the Alterations. All Alterations shall be constructed in compliance with all applicable building codes and laws including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as amended from time to time.
Upon the Expiration Date, all Alterations, except movable furniture and trade fixtures, shall become a part of the realty and belong to Landlord but shall nevertheless be subject to removal by Tenant as provided in Section 6 above. Alterations which
are not deemed as trade fixtures include heating, lighting, electrical systems, air conditioning, walls, carpeting, or any other installation which has become an integral part of the Premises. All Alterations shall be maintained, replaced or
repaired by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled, without obtaining Landlord’s consent, to make Alterations which do not affect the structure of the Building and which do not cost more
than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) per Alteration (“Permitted Alteration”); provided, however, that Tenant shall still be required to comply with all other provisions of this paragraph, and such Permitted Alterations are
subject to removal by Tenant at Landlord’s election pursuant to Section 6.C above at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Tenant shall not be required to seek Landlord’s consent with respect to any replacements,
modifications, retrofits, or upgrades of Tenant’s equipment, fixtures, and components, provided that any work or installation with respect to the foregoing shall otherwise be carried out in compliance with this Lease. 
  
 B. Free From Liens: Tenant shall keep the Premises free from all liens
arising out of work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant or claimed to have been performed for Tenant. In the event Tenant fails to discharge any such lien within ten (10) days after receiving notice of the filing,
Landlord shall be entitled to discharge the lien at Tenant’s expense and all resulting costs incurred by Landlord, including attorney’s fees shall be due from Tenant as additional rent. 
  
 C. Compliance With Governmental Regulations: The term Laws or
Governmental Regulations shall include all federal, state, county, city or governmental agency laws, statutes, ordinances, standards, rules, requirements, or orders now in force or hereafter enacted, promulgated, or issued. The term also includes
government measures regulating or enforcing public access, traffic mitigation, occupational, health, or safety standards for 

  

 Page 8 









 
employers, employees, landlords, or tenants. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense shall make all repairs, replacements, alterations, or improvements needed
to comply with all Governmental Regulations. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant (whether Landlord be a party thereto or not) that Tenant has violated any such
law, regulation or other requirement in its use of the Premises shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. 
  
 8. MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES: 
  
 A. Landlord’s Obligations: Landlord at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain in good condition, order, and repair, and replace as and when
necessary, the foundation, exterior load bearing walls and roof structure of the Building. 
  
 B. Tenant’s Obligations: Tenant shall clean, maintain, repair and replace when necessary the Premises and every part thereof through regular inspections and servicing, including but not limited to: (i) all
plumbing and sewage facilities, (ii) all heating ventilating and air conditioning facilities and equipment, (iii) all fixtures, interior walls floors, carpets and ceilings, (iv) all windows, door entrances, plate glass and glazing systems including
caulking, and skylights, (v) all electrical facilities and equipment, (vi) all automatic fire extinguisher equipment, (vii) the parking lot and all underground utility facilities servicing the Premises, (viii) the roof membrane system, and (ix) all
waterscape, landscaping and shrubbery. All wall surfaces and floor tile are to be maintained in an as good a condition as when Tenant took possession free of holes, gouges, or defacements. With respect to items (ii) and (viii) above, Tenant shall
provide Landlord a copy of a service contract between Tenant and a licensed service contractor providing for periodic maintenance of all such systems or equipment in conformance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Tenant shall provide
Landlord a copy of such preventive maintenance contracts and paid invoices for the recommended work if requested by Landlord. If as a part of Tenant’s fulfillment of its maintenance obligations during the last five (5) years of the Lease Term,
a roof replacement to the Premises is paid for by Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the cost of the replacement less the sum of (i) Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) plus (ii) that portion of the cost over $50,000.00 equal to the product
of such cost multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of years remaining in the Lease Term, the denominator of which is the useful life (in years) of the roof replacement. 
  
 C. Waiver of Liability: Failure by Landlord to perform any defined
services, or any cessation thereof, when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockout or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any character or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, shall not render Landlord
liable to Tenant in any respect, including damages to either person or property, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor cause an abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. Should any equipment
or machinery utilized in supplying the services listed herein break down or for any cause cease to function properly, upon receipt of written notice from Tenant of any deficiency or failure of any services, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to
repair the same promptly, but Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease and shall have no claim for rebate of rent or damages on account of any interruptions in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom. Tenant waives the 

  

 Page 9 









 
provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942 concerning the Landlord’s obligation of tenantability and Tenant’s right to make repairs
and deduct the cost of such repairs from the rent. Landlord shall not be liable for a loss of or injury to person or property, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to furnishing, or its failure to furnish, any of the
foregoing. 
  
 9. HAZARD INSURANCE: 
  
 A. Tenant’s Use: Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises, or
any part thereof, to be used for any purpose other than that for which the Premises are hereby leased; and no use of the Premises shall be made or permitted, nor acts done, which will cause an increase in premiums or a cancellation of any insurance
policy covering the Premises or any part thereof, nor shall Tenant sell or permit to be sold, kept, or used in or about the Premises, any article prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policies. Tenant shall, at its sole cost, comply with
all requirements of any insurance company or organization necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance covering the Premises and appurtenances. 
  
 B. Landlord’s Insurance: Landlord agrees to purchase and keep in force fire, extended coverage insurance in an
amount equal to the replacement cost of the Building (not including any Tenant Improvements or Alterations paid for by Tenant from sources other than the Work Allowance) as determined by Landlord’s insurance company’s appraisers. If
commercially available and carried by other owners of commercial properties in the area, such fire and property damage insurance may be endorsed to cover loss caused by such additional perils against which Landlord may elect to insure, including
earthquake and/or flood (if available at commercially reasonable rates), and shall contain reasonable deductibles which, in the case of earthquake and flood insurance may be up to fifteen percent (15%) of the replacement value of the property.
Additionally Landlord may maintain a policy of (i) commercial general liability insurance insuring Landlord (and such others designated by Landlord) against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death and damage to property occurring or
resulting from an occurrence in, on or about the Premises or Project in an amount as Landlord determines is reasonably necessary for its protection, and (ii) rental lost insurance covering a twelve (12) month period. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as
additional rent, on demand, the full cost of said insurance as evidenced by insurance billings to Landlord, and in the event of damage covered by said insurance, the amount of any deductible under such policy. Payment shall be due to Landlord within
ten (10) days after written invoice to Tenant. It is understood and agreed that Tenant’s obligation under this Section will be prorated to reflect the Lease Commencement and Expiration Dates. 
  
 C. Tenant’s Insurance: Tenant agrees, at its sole cost, to insure
its personal property, Tenant Improvements (for which it has paid from sources other than the Work Allowance), and Alterations for their full replacement value (without depreciation) and to obtain worker’s compensation and public liability and
property damage insurance for occurrences within the Premises with a combined single limit of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). Tenant’s liability insurance shall be primary insurance containing a cross-liability endorsement,
and shall provide coverage on an “occurrence” rather than on a “claims made” basis. Tenant shall name Landlord and Landlord’s lender as an additional insured and shall 

  

 Page 10 









 
deliver a copy of the policies and renewal certificates to Landlord. All such policies shall provide for thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to
Landlord of any cancellation, termination, or reduction in coverage. 
  
 D. Waiver: Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all rights each may have against the other on account of any loss or damage sustained by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, or to the Premises or its contents, which may arise from any
risk covered by their respective insurance policies (or which would have been covered had such insurance policies been maintained in accordance with this Lease) as set forth above. The Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to obtain from their
respective insurance companies a waiver of any right of subrogation which said insurance company may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. 
  
 10. TAXES: Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay as additional rental, prior to delinquency, the following: (i) all taxes and assessments levied against
Tenant’s personal property and trade or business fixtures; (ii) all real estate taxes and assessment installments or other impositions or charges which may be levied on the Premises or upon the occupancy of the Premises, including any
substitute or additional charges which may be imposed applicable to the Lease Term; and (iii) real estate tax increases due to an increase in assessed value resulting from a sale, transfer or other change of ownership of the Premises as it appears
on the City and County tax bills during the Lease Term. Tenant’s obligation under this Section shall be prorated to reflect the Lease Commencement and Expiration Dates. If, at any time during the Lease Term a tax, excise on rents, business
license tax or any other tax, however described, is levied or assessed against Landlord as a substitute or addition, in whole or in part, for taxes assessed or imposed on land or Buildings, Tenant shall pay and discharge its pro rata share of such
tax or excise on rents or other tax before it becomes delinquent; except that this provision is not intended to cover net income taxes, inheritance, gift or estate tax imposed upon Landlord. In the event that a tax is placed, levied, or assessed
against Landlord and the taxing authority takes the position that Tenant cannot pay and discharge its pro rata share of such tax on behalf of Landlord, then at Landlord’s sole election, Landlord may increase the Base Monthly Rent by the exact
amount of such tax and Tenant shall pay such increase. If by virtue of any application or proceeding brought by Landlord, there results a reduction in the assessed value of the Premises during the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord a fee
consistent with the fees charged by a third party appeal firm for such services. 
  
 11. UTILITIES: Tenant shall pay directly to the providing utility all water, gas, electric, telephone, and other utilities supplied to the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for loss of or injury to person or property, however
occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to furnishing or the utility company’s failure to furnish utilities to the Premises, and in such event Tenant shall not be entitled to abatement or reduction of any portion of Base Monthly
Rent or any other amount payable under this Lease. 
  
 12. TOXIC WASTE AND
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE: 
  
 A. Tenant’s
Responsibility: Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors and invitees (“Tenant’s Agents”) shall not bring, use, or permit upon the Premises, or generate, 

  

 Page 11 









 
create, release, emit, or dispose (nor permit any of the same) from the Premises any chemicals, toxic or hazardous gaseous, liquid or solid materials or
waste, including without limitation, material or substance having characteristics of ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity or substances or materials which are listed on any of the Environmental Protection Agency’s lists of
hazardous wastes or which are identified in Division 22 Title 26 of the California Code of Regulations as the same may be amended from time to time or any wastes, materials or substances which are or may become regulated by or under the authority of
any applicable local, state or federal laws, judgments, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, codes or other governmental restrictions, guidelines or requirements (“Hazardous Materials”) except for those substances customary in typical
office and data center uses for which no consent shall be required. In order to obtain consent, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord its written proposal describing the toxic material to be brought onto the Premises, measures to be taken for storage and
disposal thereof, safety measures to be employed to prevent pollution of the air, ground, surface and ground water. Landlord’s approval may be withheld in its reasonable judgment_. In the event Landlord consents to Tenant’s use of
Hazardous Materials on the Premises or such consent is not required, Tenant represents and warrants that it shall comply with all Governmental Regulations applicable to Hazardous Materials including doing the following: (i) adhere to all reporting
and inspection requirements imposed by Federal, State, County or Municipal laws, ordinances or regulations and will provide Landlord a copy of any such reports or agency inspections; (ii) obtain and provide Landlord copies of all necessary permits
required for the use and handling of Hazardous Materials on the Premises; (iii) enforce Hazardous Materials handling and disposal practices consistent with industry standards; (iv) surrender the Premises free from any Hazardous Materials arising
from Tenant’s bringing, using, permitting, generating, creating, releasing, emitting or disposing of Hazardous Materials; and (v) properly close the facility with regard to Hazardous Materials including the removal or decontamination of any
process piping, mechanical ducting, storage tanks, containers, or trenches which have come into contact with Hazardous Materials and obtain a closure certificate from the local administering agency within 30 days following the Expiration Date.

  
 Provided Tenant complies with the provisions of this Section 12 and any other
applicable Sections of the Lease, Landlord hereby consents to Tenant’s use of diesel and the presence of diesel tanks on the Premises, provided such diesel tanks are either above-grade or in existing appropriate vaults on the Premises.

  
 B. Tenant’s Indemnity Regarding Hazardous
Materials: Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all laws pertaining to, and shall with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s trustees, shareholders,
directors, officers, employees, partners, affiliates, and agents from, any claims, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or suffered arising from the bringing, using, permitting, generating, emitting or disposing of Hazardous Materials by Tenant,
Tenant’s Agents, or a third party whose presence upon the Premises are related to Tenant’s use and occupancy thereof, through the surface soils of the Premises during the Lease Term or the violation of any Governmental Regulation or
environmental law, by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents. Tenant’s indemnification, defense, and hold 

  

 Page 12 









 
harmless obligations include, without limitation, the following: (i) claims, liability, costs or expenses resulting from or based upon administrative,
judicial (civil or criminal) or other action, legal or equitable, brought by any private or public person under common law or under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 as amended (“CERCLA”), the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1980 (“RCRA”) or any other Federal, State, County or Municipal law, ordinance or regulation now or hereafter in effect; (ii) claims, liabilities, costs or expenses pertaining to the identification,
monitoring, cleanup, containment, or removal of Hazardous Materials from soils, riverbeds or aquifers including the provision of an alternative public drinking water source; (iii) all costs of defending such claims; (iv) losses attributable to
diminution in the value of the Premises or the Building; (v) loss or restriction of use of rentable space in the Building; (vi) Adverse effect on the marketing of any space in the Building; and (vi) all other liabilities, obligations, penalties,
fines, claims, actions (including remedial or enforcement actions of any kind and administrative or judicial proceedings, orders or judgments), damages (including consequential and punitive damages), and costs (including attorney, consultant, and
expert fees and expenses) resulting from the release or violation. This Section 12.B shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. 
  
 C. Actual Release by Tenant: Tenant agrees to notify Landlord of any lawsuits or orders which relate to the remedying of or actual release of
Hazardous Materials on or into the soils or ground water at or under the Premises. Tenant shall also provide Landlord all notices required by Section 25359.7(b) of the Health and Safety Code and all other notices required by law to be given to
Landlord in connection with Hazardous Materials. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord, within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof, any written notices from any governmental agency alleging a material violation of,
or material failure to comply with, any federal, state or local laws, regulations, ordinances or orders, the violation of which or failure to comply with poses a foreseeable and material risk of contamination of the ground water or injury to humans
(other than injury solely to Tenant or Tenant’s Agents. In the event of any release on or into the Premises or into the soil or ground water under the Premises, the Building or the Project of any Hazardous Materials used, treated, stored or
disposed of by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, Tenant agrees to comply, at its sole cost, with all laws, regulations, ordinances and orders of any federal, state or local agency relating to the monitoring or remediation of such Hazardous Materials.
In the event of any such release of Hazardous Materials Tenant shall immediately give verbal and follow-up written notice of the release to Landlord, and Tenant agrees to meet and confer with Landlord and its Lender to attempt to eliminate and
mitigate any financial exposure to such Lender and resultant exposure to Landlord under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736(b) as a result of such release, and promptly to take reasonable monitoring, cleanup and remedial steps given,
inter alia, the historical uses to which the Property has and continues to be used, the risks to public health posed by the release, the then available technology and the costs of remediation, cleanup and monitoring, consistent with acceptable
customary practices for the type and severity of such contamination and all applicable laws. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall eliminate, modify or reduce the obligation of Tenant under 12.B of this Lease to indemnify, defend and hold 

  

 Page 13 









 
Landlord harmless from any claims liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by Landlord. Tenant shall provide Landlord prompt written notice of
Tenant’s monitoring, cleanup and remedial steps. 
  
 In the
absence of an order of any federal, state or local governmental or quasi-governmental agency relating to the cleanup, remediation or other response action required by applicable law, any dispute arising between Landlord and Tenant concerning
Tenant’s obligation to Landlord under this Section 12.C concerning the level, method, and manner of cleanup, remediation or response action required in connection with such a release of Hazardous Materials shall be resolved by mediation and/or
arbitration pursuant to this Lease. 
  
 D. Environmental
Monitoring: Landlord and its agents shall have the right to inspect, investigate, sample and monitor the Premises including any air, soil, water, ground water or other sampling or any other testing, digging, drilling or analysis to determine
whether Tenant is complying with the terms of this Section 12. If Landlord discovers that Tenant is not in compliance with the terms of this Section 12, any such costs incurred by Landlord, including attorneys’ and consultants’ fees, shall
be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days following Landlord’s written demand therefore. 
  
 13. TENANT’S DEFAULT: The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant: (i) Tenant’s failure
to pay the Base Monthly Rent including additional rent or any other payment due under this Lease by the date such amount is due, where such failure continues for five (5) business days after Landlord’s delivery of written notice, (ii) the
abandonment of the Premises by Tenant for a consecutive period of ninety (90) days or longer; (iii) Tenant’s failure to observe and perform any other required provision of this Lease, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after
written notice from Landlord; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within the 30-day period, Tenant shall not be deemed in default if it commences within such period to cure, and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion; (iv) Tenant’s making of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (v) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for reorganization
or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed after the filing); (vi) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of
Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (vii) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of
Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days. 
  
 A. Remedies: In the event of any such default by Tenant, then in addition to other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord
shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event Landlord elects to so terminate this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant all the
following: (i) the worth at time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; (ii) the worth at time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time
of award exceeds the amount of such rental 

  

 Page 14 









 
loss for the same period that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused
by.-Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; including the following: (x) expenses for repairing, altering or remodeling the Premises for
purposes of reletting, (y) broker’s fees, advertising costs or other expenses of reletting the Premises and (z) costs of carrying the Premises such as taxes, insurance premiums, utilities and security precautions; and (v) at Landlord’s
election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by applicable California law. The computation of the damages pursuant to the foregoing shall include a credit for that portion of any rent to which Landlord
is entitled pursuant to a subsequent lease which, for the remaining balance of the Lease Term under this Lease, is higher than the Base Monthly Rent which would be due hereunder during such period. The term “rent”, as used herein, is
defined as the minimum monthly installments of Base Monthly Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, all such other sums being deemed as additional rent due hereunder. As used in (i) and (ii) above, “worth
at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at a rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco plus five (5%) percent per annum. As used in (iii) above, “worth at the time of award”
shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one (1%) percent. 
  
 B. Right to Re-enter: In the event of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, after terminating this Lease, to re-enter the
Premises and remove all persons and property. Such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, and disposed of by Landlord in any manner permitted by law. 
  
 C. Abandonment: If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as
provided in Section 13.A or 13.B above, then the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1951.4, (Landlord may continue the lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due if Tenant has a right to
sublet and assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) as amended from time to time, shall apply and Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part
thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. In the event that Landlord
elects to so relet, rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied in the following order to: (i) the payment of any indebtedness other than Base Monthly Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; (ii) the payment of any cost of
such reletting; (iii) the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; and (iv) the payment of Base Monthly Rent due and unpaid hereunder. The residual rentals, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of
future Base Monthly Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Landlord shall the obligation to market the space but shall have no obligation to relet the Premises 

  

 Page 15 









 
following a default if Landlord has other comparable available space within the Building or Project. In the event the portion of rentals received from such
reletting which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder during any month be less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand. Such deficiency shall be
calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting.

  
 D. No Termination: Landlord’s re-entry or taking
possession of the Premises pursuant to 13.B or 13.C shall not be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default. 
  
 E. Non-Waiver: Landlord may accept Tenant’s payments without
waiving any rights under this Lease, including rights under a previously served notice of default. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than any installment of rent due shall be deemed as other than payment on account of
the amount due. If Landlord accepts payments after serving a notice of default, Landlord may nevertheless commence and pursue an action to enforce rights and remedies under the previously served notice of default without giving Tenant any further
notice or demand. Furthermore, the Landlord’s acceptance of rent from the Tenant when the Tenant is holding over without express written consent does not convert Tenant’s Tenancy from a tenancy at sufferance to a month to month tenancy. No
waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of Landlord to enforce any remedy for the violation of that provision, even if that violation continues or is repeated. Any waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease must
be in writing. Such waiver shall affect only the provision specified and only for the time and in the manner stated in the writing. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by Landlord shall impair such right or remedy or be
construed as a waiver thereof by Landlord. No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of keys to the Premises, shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the Expiration Date. Only
written notice from Landlord to Tenant of acceptance shall constitute such acceptance of surrender of the Premises. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant which requires Landlord’s consent or approvals shall not be deemed
to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. 
  
 F. Performance by Landlord: If Tenant fails to perform any obligation required under this Lease or by law or governmental regulation, Landlord in
its sole discretion may, without notice, without waiving any rights or remedies and without releasing Tenant from its obligations hereunder, perform such obligation, in which event Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rent all sums reasonably
paid by Landlord in connection with such substitute performance, including interest at the Agreed Interest Rate (as defined in Section 19.J) within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written notice for such payment. 
  

 Page 16 









 G. Habitual Default: The provisions of Section 13 notwithstanding, the Parties agree that if
Tenant shall have materially defaulted in the performance of any (but not necessarily the same) term or condition of this Lease for five (5) or more times during any twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term, then such conduct shall, at the
election of the Landlord, represent a separate event of default which cannot be cured by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that the purpose of this provision is to prevent repetitive material defaults by Tenant, which work a hardship upon Landlord and
deprive Landlord of Tenant’s timely performance under this Lease. 
  
 14.
LANDLORD’S LIABILITY: 
  
 A. Limitation on
Landlord’s Liability: In the event of Landlord’s failure to perform any of its covenants or agreements under this Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such failure and shall give Landlord thirty (30) days to cure or
commence to cure such failure prior to any claim for breach or resultant damages, provided, however, that: (i) if the nature of the default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within the 30-day period, Landlord shall not be deemed in default
if it commences within such period to cure, and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion; and (ii) in the event of emergency, Landlord shall use its best efforts to cure or commence to cure such failure as soon as reasonably possible.
In addition, upon any such failure by Landlord, Tenant shall give notice by registered or certified mail to any person or entity with a security interest in the Premises (“Mortgagee”) that has provided Tenant with notice of its interest in
the Premises, and shall provide Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure such failure. Tenant agrees that each of the Mortgagees to whom this Lease has been assigned is an expressed third-party beneficiary hereof. Tenant waives any right under
California Civil Code Section 1950.7 or any other present or future law to the collection of any payment or deposit from Mortgagee or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale of Mortgagee’s interest unless Mortgagee or such purchaser shall have
actually received and not refunded the applicable payment or deposit. Tenant Further waives any right to terminate this Lease and to vacate the Premises on Landlord’s default under this Lease. Tenant’s sole remedy on Landlord’s
default is an action for damages or injunctive or declaratory relief. 
  
 B. Limitation on Tenant’s Recourse: If Landlord is a corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association or other form of business entity, then (i) the obligations of Landlord shall not constitute personal
obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, or other principals or representatives except to the extent of their interest in the Premises. Tenant shall have recourse only to the
interest of Landlord in the Premises or for the satisfaction of the obligations of Landlord and shall not have recourse to any other assets of Landlord for the satisfaction of such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this
Section 14.B shall not apply to a default by Landlord in the return of the Security Deposit. 
  
 C. Indemnification of Landlord: As a material part of the consideration rendered to Landlord, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for damages to goods, wares and merchandise, and all other personal
property in, upon or about said Premises and for injuries to persons in or about said Premises, from any cause arising at any time to the fullest extent permitted by 

  

 Page 17 









 
law, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord and hold Landlord, and their shareholders, directors, officers,
trustees, employees, partners, affiliates- and agents from any claims, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or suffered arising from the use of occupancy of the Premises or any part of the Project by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, the acts or
omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, Tenant’s breach of this Lease, or any damage or injury to person or property from any cause, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or active negligence of Landlord or from the failure
of Tenant to keep the Premises in good condition and repair as herein provided, except to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Further, in the event Landlord is made party to any litigation due to the acts or
omission of Tenant and Tenant’s Agents, Tenant will indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord harmless from any such claim or liability including Landlord’s costs and expenses and reasonable
attorney’s fees incurred in defending such claims. 
  
 15. DESTRUCTION OF
PREMISES: 
  
 A. Landlord’s Obligation to
Restore: In the event of a destruction of the Premises during the Lease Term Landlord shall repair the same to a similar condition to that which existed prior to such destruction. Such destruction shall not annul or void this Lease; however,
Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Base Monthly Rent from the date of destruction until the repairs are sufficiently complete to allow Tenant to conduct its business without material interference, such proportionate reduction
to be based upon the extent to which the repairs interfere with Tenant’s business in the Premises, as reasonably determined by Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be required to replace or restore Alterations, Tenant Improvements paid for by
Tenant from sources other than the Work Allowance or Tenant’s fixtures or personal property. With respect to a destruction which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this Section, Tenant waives the
provisions of Section 1932, and Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California, and any other similarly enacted statute, and the provisions of this Section 15 shall govern in the case of such destruction. 
  
 B. Limitations on Landlord’s Restoration Obligation:
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.A, Landlord shall have no obligation to repair, or restore the Premises if any of the following occur: (i) if the repairs cannot be made in one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of receipt of all
governmental approvals necessary under the laws and regulations of State, Federal, County or Municipal authorities to effect such repairs, as reasonably determined by Landlord, (ii) if the holder of the first deed of trust or mortgage encumbering
the Building elects not to permit the insurance proceeds payable upon damage or destruction to be used for such repair or restoration, (iii) the damage or destruction is not fully covered by the insurance maintained by Landlord and any amounts
Tenant elects, in its sole discretion, to pay towards the cost of repair or restoration, (iv) the damage or destruction occurs in the last twenty four (24) months of the Lease Term, (v) Tenant is in default pursuant to the provisions of Section 13,
or (vi) Tenant has vacated the Premises for more than one hundred twenty (120) days. In any such event Landlord may elect either to (i) complete the repair or restoration, or (ii) terminate this Lease by providing Tenant written notice of its
election within sixty (60) days following the damage or 

  

 Page 18 









 
destruction. If the repairs cannot be made within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of receipt of all governmental approvals necessary under the
laws and regulations of State, Federal, County or Municipal authorities to effect such repairs, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by providing Landlord written notice of its election within sixty (60) days following the date of the damage or
destruction. 
  
 16. CONDEMNATION: If any part of the Premises shall be
taken for any public or quasi-public use, under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof, and only a part thereof remains which is susceptible of occupation hereunder, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken,
terminate as of the day before title vests in the condemnor or purchaser (“Vesting Date”) and Base Monthly Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted so that Tenant is required to pay for the remainder of the Lease Term only such portion of
Base Monthly Rent as the value of the part remaining after such taking bears to the value of the entire Premises prior to such taking. Further, in the event of such partial taking, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease as of the
Vesting Date. If all of the Premises or such part thereof be taken so that there does not remain a portion susceptible for occupation hereunder, this Lease shall terminate on the Vesting Date. If part or all of the Premises be taken, all
compensation awarded upon such taking shall go to Landlord; and Tenant shall have no claim thereto; except Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, without cost to Landlord, to recover compensation for damage to or taking of any Alterations, Tenant
Improvements paid for by Tenant from sources other than the Work Allowance, or for Tenant’s moving costs. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedures Section 1265.130 and any other similarly enacted statue, and
the provisions of this Section 16 shall govern in the case of a taking. 
  
 17.
ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE: 
  
 A. Consent by
Landlord: Except as specifically provided in this Section 17.E, Tenant may not assign, sublet, hypothecate, or allow a third party to use the Premises without the express written consent of Landlord. In the event Tenant desires to assign this
Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (i) executed counterparts of any agreement and of all ancillary agreements with the proposed assignee/subtenant, (ii) current financial
statements of the transferee covering the preceding three years, (iii) the nature of the proposed transferee’s business to be carried on in the Premises, (iv) a statement outlining all consideration to be given on account of the Transfer, and
(v) a current financial statement of Tenant. Landlord may condition its approval of any Transfer on receipt of a certification from both Tenant and the proposed transferee of all consideration to be paid to Tenant in connection with such Transfer.
At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall also provide additional information reasonably required by Landlord to determine whether it will consent to the proposed assignment or sublease. Landlord shall have a fifteen (15) day period following receipt
of all the foregoing within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to: (i) terminate this Lease in the event the proposed sublease or assignment is for substantially all of space in the Premises; (ii) permit Tenant to assign or
sublet such space to the named assignee/subtenant on the terms and conditions set forth in the notice; or (iii) refuse consent. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in writing of such election within the 15-day period, Landlord shall be deemed
to have elected option (iii) above. In the event Landlord elects option (i) 

  

 Page 19 









 
above, this Lease shall expire with respect to such part of the Premises on the date upon which the proposed sublease or transfer was to commence, and from
such date forward, Base Monthly Rent and Tenant’s Allocable Share of all other costs and charges shall be adjusted based upon the proportion that the rentable area of the Premises remaining bears to the total rentable area of the Building. In
the event Landlord elects option (ii) above, Landlord’s written consent to the proposed assignment or sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided and upon the condition that: (i) the proposed assignee or subtenant is engaged in a
business that is limited to the use expressly permitted under this Lease; (ii) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a company with sufficient financial worth and management ability to undertake the financial obligation of this Lease and Landlord
has been furnished with reasonable proof thereof; (iii) the proposed assignment or sublease is in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and (iv) Tenant reimburses Landlord on demand for any reasonable costs that may be incurred by Landlord in
connection with said assignment or sublease, including the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant and legal costs incurred in connection with the granting of any requested consent. Additionally,
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may condition its consent to any assignment or sublease upon the continued guaranty of the Lease by Guarantor as defined in Lease Section 20 below. In the event all or any one of the foregoing conditions are not
satisfied, Landlord shall be considered to have acted reasonably if it withholds its consent. 
  
 B. Assignment or Subletting Consideration: Any rent or other economic consideration realized by Tenant under any sublease and assignment, in excess of the Base Monthly Rent payable hereunder and reasonable
subletting and assignment costs (i.e., Alterations directly associated with such sublease, legal fees and real estate commissions), shall be divided and paid fifty percent (50%) to Landlord and fifty percent (50%) to Tenant. Tenant’s obligation
to pay over Landlord’s portion of the consideration constitutes an obligation for additional rent hereunder. The above provisions relating to Landlord’s right to terminate the Lease and relating to the allocation of excess rent are
independently negotiated terms of the Lease which constitute a material inducement for the Landlord to enter into the Lease, and are agreed by the Parties to be commercially reasonable. No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve it of any
obligation under this Lease. Any assignment or subletting which conflicts with the provisions hereof shall be void. 
  
 C. No Release: Any assignment shall be made only if and shall not be effective until the assignee shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to
Landlord an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, whereby the assignee shall assume all the obligations of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed and shall be subject to all the covenants, agreements,
terms, provisions and conditions in this Lease. Notwithstanding any such assignment and the acceptance of rent by Landlord from any assignee, Tenant and any guarantor shall remain fully liable for the payment of Base Monthly Rent and additional rent
due, and to become due hereunder, for the performance of all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed and for all acts and omissions of any licensee, assignee or any
other person claiming under or through any subtenant or assignee that shall be in violation of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease, and 

  

 Page 20 









 
any such violation shall be deemed a violation by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against all losses, liabilities,
damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed assignee or subtenant or by any real estate brokers or other persons claiming compensation in connection
with the proposed assignment or sublease. 
  
 D. Reorganization
of Tenant: The provisions of this Section 17.D shall apply if Tenant is a corporation and: (i) there is a dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of or affecting Tenant, where Tenant is not the surviving corporation, or (ii)
there is a sale or transfer to one person or entity (or to any group of related persons or entities) of stock possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled
to vote for the election of directors, and after such sale or transfer of stock Tenant’s stock is no longer publicly traded. In a transaction under clause (i) the surviving corporation shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement
in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord under which such surviving corporation assumes the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and in a transaction under clause (ii) the transferee or buyer shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord an
agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord under which such transferee or buyer assumes the obligations of Tenant under the Lease. 
  
 E. Permitted Transfers: Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 17, so long as Tenant otherwise complies with the provisions of this
Article, Tenant may enter into any of the following transfers (a “Permitted Transfer”) without Landlord’s prior consent, and Landlord shall not be entitled to terminate the Lease or to receive any part of any subrent resulting
therefrom that would otherwise be due pursuant to Sections 17.A and 17.B. Tenant may sublease all or part of the Premises or assign its interest in this Lease to (i) any corporation which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with
the original Tenant to this Lease by means of an ownership interest of more than 50%; (ii) a corporation which results from a merger, consolidation or other reorganization in which Tenant is not the surviving corporation, so long as the surviving
corporation has a net worth at the time of such assignment that is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction; and (iii) a corporation which purchases or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant so long as such acquiring corporation has a net worth at the time of such assignment that is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction. 
  
 “Permitted Transfers” shall also include any Business Agreements (defined below)
entered into by Tenant with respect to the Premises, provided that Tenant remains in possession and control of the Premises, and provided further that any Business Affiliates (as defined below) comply in all respects with this Lease, including,
without limitation, the provisions hereof related to permitted uses and legal compliance. The term “Business Agreement(s)” shall mean any license, sublease, co-location agreement (defined below), or other arrangement which permits the use
or occupancy of portions of the Premises by any of Tenant’s subsidiaries, divisions, customers, “peering” partners, and/or contractors and subcontractors (collectively, “Business Affiliates”) and/or their equipment and
personnel. The term “Co-location 

  

 Page 21 









 
agreement(s)” shall mean any agreement entered into by Tenant with another party whereby Tenant is providing (whether by cable, fiber or other form of
physical transmission, wireless transmission, or any other mode of transmission) co-location, access, or any other form of connection to (a) the Internet, (b) any Internet successor or affiliated networking system, and/or (c) any other existing or
future telecommunications, networking, or communication systems. 
  
 F. Effect of Default: In the event of Tenant’s default, Tenant hereby assigns all rents due from any assignment or subletting to Landlord as security for performance of its obligations under this Lease, and Landlord may collect
such rents as Tenant’s Attorney-in-Fact, except that Tenant may collect such rents unless a default occurs as described in Section 13 above. A termination of the Lease due to Tenant’s default shall not automatically terminate an assignment
or sublease then in existence; rather at Landlord’s election, such assignment or sublease shall survive the Lease termination, the assignee or subtenant shall attorn to Landlord, and Landlord shall undertake the obligations of Tenant under the
sublease or assignment; except that Landlord shall not be liable for prepaid rent, security deposits or other defaults of Tenant to the subtenant or assignee, or for any acts or omissions of Tenant and Tenant’s Agents. 
  
 G. Conveyance by Landlord: As used in this Lease, the term
“Landlord” is defined only as the owner for the time being of the Premises, so that in the event of any sale or other conveyance of the Premises or in the event of a master lease of the Premises, Landlord shall be entirely freed and
relieved of all its covenants and obligations hereunder, and it shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the Parties and the purchaser at any such sale or the master tenant of the Premises, that the purchaser or master tenant
of the Premises has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder. Such transferor shall transfer and deliver Tenant’s security deposit to the purchaser at any such sale or the master tenant of the
Premises, and thereupon the transferor shall be discharged from any further liability in reference thereto. 
  
 H. Successors and Assigns: Subject to the provisions of this Section 17, the covenants and conditions of this Lease shall apply to and bind the
heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all Parties hereto; and all Parties hereto comprising Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. 
  
 18. OPTION TO EXTEND THE LEASE TERM: 
  
 A. Grant and Exercise of Option: Landlord grants to Tenant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 18.A, two (2) options
(the “Options”) to extend the Lease Term for an additional term (the “Option Term”). Each Option Term shall be for a period of sixty (60) months and shall be exercised, if at all, by written notice to Landlord no earlier than
eighteen (18) months prior to the date the Lease Term would expire but for such exercise but no later than twelve (12) months prior to the date the Lease Term would expire but for such exercise, time being of the essence for the giving of such
notice. If Tenant exercises the Option, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease except for the grant of additional Options pursuant to this Section, provided that Base Monthly Rent for the Premises payable by Tenant during the
Option Term shall be the greater of (i) the Base Monthly Rent applicable to the period immediately prior to the commencement of the Option 

  

 Page 22 









 
Term, and (ii) ninety five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Rental as hereinafter defined. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Tenant is in
monetary or material non-monetary default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease either at the time Tenant exercises the Option or at any time thereafter prior to the commencement date of the Option Term, Landlord shall have,
in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, the right to terminate the Option upon notice to Tenant, in which event the Lease Term shall not be extended pursuant to this Section 18.A. As used herein, the
term “Fair Market Rental” is defined as the rental and all other monetary payments, including any escalations and adjustments thereto (including without limitation Consumer Price Indexing) that Landlord could obtain during the Option Term
from a third party desiring to lease the Premises, based upon the current use and other potential uses of the Premises, as determined by the rents then being obtained for new leases of space comparable in age and quality to the Premises in the same
real estate submarket as the Building. Fair Market Rental shall further take into account that Tenant is in occupancy and making functional use of the Premises in its then existing condition and no additional work allowance or tenant improvements
shall be required of Landlord; however, Fair Market Rental shall not take into account Alterations or Tenant Improvements installed by Tenant which it has the right to remove pursuant to Section 7 above. The appraisers shall be instructed that the
foregoing five percent (5%) discount is intended to reduce comparable rents which include (i) brokerage commissions, (ii) tenant improvement allowances, and (iii) vacancy costs, to account for the fact that Landlord will not suffer such costs in the
event Tenant exercises its Option. 
  
 B. Determination of Fair
Market Rental: If Tenant exercises the Option, Landlord shall send Tenant a notice setting forth the Fair Market Rental for the Option Term within thirty (30) days following the Exercise Date. If Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination of
Fair Market Rental for the Option Term, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s notice setting forth Fair Market Rental for the Option Term, send to Landlord a notice stating that Tenant either elects to terminate its
exercise of the Option, in which event the Option shall lapse and this Lease shall terminate on the Expiration Date, or that Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rental for the Option Term and elects to resolve the
disagreement as provided in Section 18.C below. If Tenant does not send Landlord a notice as provided in the previous sentence, Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rental shall be the Base Monthly Rent payable by Tenant during the Option
Term. If Tenant elects to resolve the disagreement as provided in Section 18.C and such procedures are not concluded prior to the commencement date of the Option Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Base Monthly Rent the Fair Market Rental as
determined by Landlord in the manner provided above. If the Fair Market Rental as finally determined pursuant to Section 18.C is greater than Landlord’s determination, Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant
and the Fair Market Rental as so determined in Section 18.C within thirty (30) days after such determination. If the Fair Market Rental as finally determined in Section 18.C is less than Landlord’s determination, the difference between the
amount paid by Tenant and the Fair Market Rental as so determined in Section 18.C shall be credited against the next installments of Base Monthly Rent due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder. 
  

 Page 23 









 C. Resolution of a Disagreement over the Fair Market Rental: Any disagreement regarding Fair
Market Rental shall be resolved as follows: 
  
 Within thirty (30) days after
Tenant’s response to Landlord’s notice setting forth the Fair Market Rental, Landlord and Tenant shall meet at a mutually agreeable time and place, in an attempt to resolve the disagreement. 
  
 If within the 30-day period referred to above, Landlord and Tenant cannot reach agreement as
to Fair Market Rental, each party shall select one appraiser to determine Fair Market Rental. Each such appraiser shall arrive at a determination of Fair Market Rental and submit their conclusions to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after
the expiration of the 30-day consultation period described above. 
  
 If only one
appraisal is submitted within the requisite time period, it shall be deemed as Fair Market Rental. If both appraisals are submitted within such time period and the two appraisals so submitted differ by less than ten percent (10%), the average of the
two shall be deemed as Fair Market Rental. If the two appraisals differ by more than 10%, the appraisers shall immediately select a third appraiser who shall, within thirty (30) days after his selection, make and submit to Landlord and Tenant a
determination of Fair Market Rental. This third appraisal will then be averaged with the closer of the two previous appraisals and the result shall be Fair Market Rental. 
  
 All appraisers specified pursuant to this Section shall be members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with not less than
ten (10) years’ experience appraising office and industrial properties in the Santa Clara Valley. Each party shall pay the cost of the appraiser selected by such party and one-half of the cost of the third appraiser. 
  
 D. Personal to Tenant: All Options provided to Tenant in this Lease
are personal and granted to AboveNet Communications, Inc. (or a permitted transferee as described in Section 17.E) and are not exercisable by any third party should Tenant assign or sublet all or a portion of its rights under this Lease, unless
Landlord consents to permit exercise of any option by any assignee or subtenant, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. 
  
 19. GENERAL PROVISIONS: 
  
 A. Attorney’s Fees: In the event a suit or alternative form of dispute resolution is brought for the possession of the Premises, for the
recovery of any sum due hereunder, to interpret the Lease, or because of the breach of any other covenant herein; then the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party reasonable attorney’s fees including the expense of expert witnesses,
depositions and court testimony as part of its costs which shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action. The prevailing party shall also be entitled to recover all costs and expenses including reasonable attorney’s fees
incurred in enforcing any judgment or award against the other party. The foregoing provision relating to post-judgment costs is severable from all other provisions of this Lease. 
  
 B. Authority of Parties: Tenant represents and warrants that it is duly formed and in good standing, and is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said corporation, in accordance with a duly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors of said corporation or in accordance with the by-laws of said corporation, and that this Lease is
binding 

  

 Page 24 









 
upon said corporation in accordance with its terms. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with corporate resolutions or other proof in a
form acceptable to Landlord, authorizing the execution of the Lease. 
  
 C. Brokers: Tenant represents it has not utilized or contacted a real estate broker or finder with respect to this Lease other than Cornish & Carey Commercial and Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless
against any claim, cost, liability or cause of action asserted by any other broker or finder claiming through Tenant. 
  
 D. Choice of Law: This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with California law. Except as provided in Section 19.E, venue shall
be Santa Clara County. 
  
 E. Dispute Resolution: Landlord
and Tenant and any other party that may become a party to this Lease or be deemed a party to this Lease including any subtenants agree that, except for any claim by Landlord for unlawful detainer or any claim within the jurisdiction of the small
claims court (which small claims court shall be the sole court of competent jurisdiction), any controversy, dispute, or claim of whatever nature arising out of, in connection with or in relation to the interpretation, performance or breach of this
Lease, including any claim based on contract, tort, or statute, shall be resolved at the request of any party to this agreement through a two-step dispute resolution process administered by J.A.M.S. or another judicial mediation service mutually
acceptable to the parties located in Santa Clara County, California. The dispute resolution process shall involve first, mediation, followed, if necessary, by final and binding arbitration administered by and in accordance with the then existing
rules and practices of J.A.M.S. or other judicial mediation service selected. In the event of any dispute subject to this provision, either party may initiate a request for mediation and the parties shall use reasonable efforts to promptly select a
J.A.M.S. mediator and commence the mediation. In the event the parties are not able to agree on a mediator within thirty (30) days, J.A.M.S. or another judicial mediation service mutually acceptable to the parties shall appoint a mediator. The
mediation shall be confidential and in accordance with California Evidence Code § 1119 et seq. The mediation shall be held in Santa Clara County, California and in accordance with the existing rules and practice of J.A.M.S. (or other judicial
and mediation service selected). The parties shall use reasonable efforts to conclude the mediation within sixty (60) days of the date of either party’s request for mediation. The mediation shall be held prior to any arbitration or court action
(other than a claim by Landlord for unlawful detainer or any claim within the jurisdiction of the small claims court which are not subject to this mediation/arbitration provision and may be filed directly with a court of competent jurisdiction).
Should the prevailing party in any dispute subject to this Section 19.E attempt an arbitration or a court action before attempting to mediate, the prevailing party shall not be entitled to attorney’s fees that might otherwise be available to
them in a court action or arbitration and in addition thereto, the party who is determined by the arbitrator to have resisted mediation, shall be sanctioned by the arbitrator or judge. 
  
 IF A MEDIATION IS CONDUCTED BUT IS UNSUCCESSFUL, IT SHALL BE FOLLOWED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE THEN EXISTING RULES AND PRACTICES OF J.A.M.S. OR THE 

  

 Page 25

 F. Entire
Agreement: This Lease and the exhibits attached hereto contains all of the agreements and conditions made between the Parties hereto and may not be modified orally or in any other manner other than by written agreement signed by all parties
hereto or their respective successors in interest. This Lease supersedes and revokes all previous negotiations, letters of intent, lease proposals, brochures, agreements, representations, promises, warranties, and understandings, whether oral or in
writing, between the parties or their respective representatives or any other person purporting to represent Landlord or Tenant. 
  
 G. Entry by Landlord: Upon prior notice to Tenant and subject to Tenant’s reasonable security regulations, Tenant shall permit Landlord and
his agents to enter into and upon the Premises at all reasonable times, and without any rent abatement or reduction or any liability to Tenant for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned, for the following
purposes: (i) inspecting and maintaining the Premises; (ii) making repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises; (iii) erecting additional building(s) 

  

 Page 26 









 
and improvements on the land where the Premises are situated or on adjacent land owned by Landlord; (iv) performing any obligations of Landlord under the
Lease including remediation of Hazardous Materials if determined to be the responsibility of Landlord, (v) posting and keeping posted thereon notices of non responsibility for any construction, alteration or repair thereof, as required or permitted
by any law, and (vi) showing the Premises to Landlord’s or the Master Landlord’s existing or potential successors, purchaser, tenants and lenders. Tenant shall permit Landlord and his agents, at any time within one hundred eighty (180)
days prior to the Expiration Date (or at any time during the Lease if Tenant is in default hereunder), to place upon the Premises “For Lease” signs and exhibit the Premises to real estate brokers and prospective tenants at reasonable
hours. 
  
 H. Estoppel Certificates: At any time during the
Lease Term, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying, if true, the following: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if
modified, stating the nature of such modification); (ii) the date to which rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any; (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on Landlord’s part hereunder
(or specifying such defaults if they are claimed); and (iv) such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of Landlord’s interest in the
Premises. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon the Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect without modification, except as may be represented by Landlord, and that there are no uncured
defaults in Landlord’s performance. Tenant agrees to provide, within five (5) days of Landlord’s request, Tenant’s most recent three (3) years of audited financial statements for Landlord’s use in financing or sale of the
Premises or Landlord’s interest therein. 
  
 I.
Exhibits: All exhibits referred to are attached to this Lease and incorporated by reference. 
  
 J. Interest: All rent due hereunder, if not paid when due, shall bear interest at the rate of the Reference Rate published by Bank of America, San
Francisco Branch, plus two percent (2%) per annum from that date until paid in full (“Agreed Interest Rate”). This provision shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease. Despite any other provision of this Lease, the
total liability for interest payments shall not exceed the limits, if any, imposed by the usury laws of the State of California. Any interest paid in excess of those limits shall be refunded to Tenant by application of the amount of excess interest
paid against any sums outstanding in any order that Landlord requires. If the amount of excess interest paid exceeds the sums outstanding, the portion exceeding those sums shall be refunded in cash to Tenant by Landlord. To ascertain whether any
interest payable exceeds the limits imposed, any non-principal payment (including late charges) shall be considered to the extent permitted by law to be an expense or a fee, premium, or penalty rather than interest. 
  
 K. This paragraph intentionally left blank. 
  
 L. No Presumption Against Drafter: Landlord and Tenant understand,
agree and acknowledge that this Lease has been freely negotiated by both Parties; and that in any controversy, dispute, or contest 

  

 Page 27 









 
over the meaning, interpretation, validity, or enforceability of this Lease or any of its terms or conditions, there shall be no inference, presumption, or
conclusion drawn whatsoever against either party by virtue of that party having drafted this Lease or any portion thereof. 
  
 M. Notices: All notices, demands, requests, or consents required to be given under this Lease shall be sent in writing by U.S. certified mail,
return receipt requested, or by personal delivery addressed to the party to be notified at the address for such party specified in Section 1 of this Lease, or to such other place as the party to be notified may from time to time designate by at
least fifteen (15) days prior notice to the notifying party. When this Lease requires service of a notice, that notice shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any notices required by Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor statute. When a statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) shall replace and satisfy the statutory
service-of-notice procedures, including those required by Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162 or any similar or successor statute. 
  
 N. Property Management: In addition, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord along with the expenses to be reimbursed by Tenant a monthly fee for management
services rendered by either Landlord or a third party manager engaged by Landlord (which may be a party affiliated with Landlord), in the amount of one percent (1%) of the Base Monthly Rent. 
  
 O. Rent: All monetary sums due from Tenant to Landlord under this
Lease, including, without limitation those referred to as “additional rent”, shall be deemed as rent. 
  
 P. Representations: Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any of its employees or agents have made any agreements, representations,
warranties or promises with respect to the Premises or with respect to present or future rents, expenses, operations, tenancies or any other matter. Except as herein expressly set forth herein, Tenant relied on no statement of Landlord or its
employees or agents for that purpose. 
  
 Q. Rights and
Remedies: Subject to Section 14 above, All rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not alternative to the extent permitted by law, and are in addition to all other rights and remedies in law and in equity. 
  
 R. Severability: If any term or provision of this Lease is held
unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the Lease shall not be invalidated thereby but shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms, omitting the invalid or unenforceable term. 
  
 S. Submission of Lease: Submission of this document for examination or
signature by the parties does not constitute an option or offer to lease the Premises on the terms in this document or a reservation of the Premises in favor of Tenant. This document is not effective as a lease or otherwise until executed and
delivered by both Landlord and Tenant. 
  
 T.
Subordination: This Lease is subject and subordinate to ground and underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust (collectively “Encumbrances”) which may now affect the Premises, to any covenants, conditions or restrictions of record,
and to all renewals, modifications, 

  

 Page 28 









 
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, if the holder or holders of any such Encumbrance (“Holder”) require that
this Lease be prior and superior thereto, within seven (7) days after written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver all documents or instruments, in the form presented to Tenant, which Landlord or Holder
deems necessary or desirable for such purposes. Landlord shall have the right to cause this Lease to be and become and remain subject and subordinate to any and all Encumbrances which are now or may hereafter be executed covering the Premises or any
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, for the full amount of all advances made or to be made thereunder and without regard to the time or character of such advances, together with interest thereon and subject
to all the terms and provisions thereof; provided only, that as a condition to such subordination, in the event of termination of any such lease or upon the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, Holder agrees in writing to recognize
Tenant’s rights under this Lease as long as Tenant is not then in default and continues to pay Base Monthly Rent and additional rent and observes and performs all required provisions of this Lease. Within ten (10) days after Landlord’s
written request, Tenant shall execute any documents required by Landlord or the Holder to make this Lease subordinate to any lien of the Encumbrance. If Tenant fails to do so, then in addition to such failure constituting a default by Tenant, it
shall be deemed that this Lease is so subordinated to such Encumbrance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Tenant hereby attorns and agrees to attorn to any entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring the Premises at any sale or
other proceeding or pursuant to the exercise of any other rights, powers or remedies under such encumbrance. 
  
 Landlord shall cause the existing lender, Union Labor Life Insurance Company, to furnish to Tenant, within forty-five (45) days of the date of both parties’ execution of this Lease, with a written agreement
providing for (i) recognition by the lender of all of the terms and conditions of this Lease; and (ii) continuation of this Lease upon foreclosure of existing lender’s security interest in the Premises. In the event that Landlord is unable to
provide such agreement, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be termination of the Lease, which election shall be made within fourteen (14) days following the expiration of such forty-five (45) day period. 
  
 U. Survival of Indemnities: All indemnification, defense, and hold
harmless obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease. 
  
 V. Time: Time is of the essence hereunder. 
  
 W. Transportation Demand Management Programs: Should a government agency or municipality require Landlord to institute TDM (Transportation Demand
Management) facilities and/or programs, Tenant agrees that the cost of TDM imposed facilities and programs required on the Premises, including but not limited to employee showers, lockers, cafeteria, or lunchroom facilities, shall be paid by Tenant.
Further, any ongoing costs or expenses associated with a TDM program which are required for the Premises and not provided by Tenant, such as an on-site TDM coordinator, shall be provided by Landlord with such costs being included as additional rent
and reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant within thirty (30) days after demand. If 

  

 Page 29 









 
TDM facilities and programs are instituted on a Project wide basis, Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of such costs in accordance with Section 8
above. 
  
 X. Waiver of Right to Jury Trial: Landlord and
Tenant waive their respective rights to trial by jury of any contract or tort claim, counterclaim, cross-complaint, or cause of action in any action, proceeding, or hearing brought by either party against the other on any matter arising out of or in
any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, including any claim of injury or damage or the enforcement of any remedy under any current or future law, statute,
regulation, code, or ordinance. 
  
 20. LEASE GUARANTY: A
material provision of the Lease and a material inducement of Landlord to enter into this Lease is the guaranty of this Lease by Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc. a Delaware Corporation, (“Guarantor”) which is attached hereto as Exhibit
“E” and made a part hereof.

 FIRST AMENDMENT TO
LEASE 
  
 THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this “Amendment”) is
entered into as of December 6, 2004 by and between BROKAW INTERESTS, a California limited partnership (“Landlord”) and EQUINIX OPERATING CO., INC., a Delaware corporation, as successor-in-interest to ABOVENET COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a
Delaware corporation (“Tenant”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in that certain Lease dated as of December 29, 1999 between Landlord and Tenant (the
“Lease”). 
  
 For good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Lease shall be amended as follows: 
  
 1. Amendments to Lease. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Lease shall be modified as follows: 
  
 1.1 With respect to Section 4.C, Tenant agrees,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, that the cash security deposit of One Million Four Hundred Twenty Seven Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,427,000.00) shall not be returned or reduced in amount until the expiration of the Lease.
Within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Lease, Landlord agrees to return such deposit to Tenant less any amounts Landlord is entitled to deduct pursuant to this Section 4.C. Further Tenant shall have no right to post a letter of
credit in lieu of a cash deposit. 
  
 1.2 The
reference to “one hundred eighty (180) days” in Section 15.B. (i) shall be changed to twelve (12) months. 
  
 1.3 The reference to “twenty-four (24) months” in Section 15.B.(iv) shall be changed to eighteen (18) months. 
  
 1.4 The reference to “one hundred eighty (180)
days” in the last sentence of Section 15.B. shall be changed to twelve (12) months. 
  
 1.5 The second sentence of Section 16 shall be deleted. 
  
 1.6 With respect to Section 17.E., the definition of Permitted Transfer shall be amended to include an
assignment of the Tenant’s entire interest under this Lease or of all or any portion of the Premises to (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”). Simultaneously with any such Permitted Transfer, Tenant’s successor shall sign a form of assumption agreement that is approved in advance by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. As
used herein and for so long as Equinix Operating Co., Inc., or its affiliate is the Tenant under the Lease, (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. 
  
 1.7 Section 18.D. of the Lease shall be deleted with the
effect that the option to extend the Lease under Article 18 shall be available to Tenant and its permitted transferees. 
  
 1.8 Any exercise by Landlord of its rights to enter the Premises pursuant to any provision of the Master Lease, including, without
limitation, Section 19.G., shall be done in a way that does not materially interfere with Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises. 
  
 1.9 Section 19.G.(iii) shall be deleted. 
  
 1.10 The following language shall be inserted at the end of Section 19.G.(vi): “;provided, however, that with respect to prospective
tenants, such right may only be exercised in the last nine (9) months of the Lease.” 
  
 1.11 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without the prior written consent of
Landlord being obtained, to subject Tenant’s leasehold estate pursuant to this Lease, and its personal property, equipment, components and trade fixtures, to a leasehold mortgage and/or security agreement to secure financing or other
obligations which Tenant may obtain or incur. In connection with any such leasehold mortgage and/or security agreement or otherwise, Landlord will, within thirty (30) days following receipt of written request therefor, provide to Tenant and
Tenant’s lender(s) an estoppel certificate certifying if true, the following: (i) that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification); (ii) the date to which rent and other
charges are paid under the Lease, including the date, if any, to which rent and other charges have been paid in advance; (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to the Landlord’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the party of the Tenant under
the Lease (or if there are any defaults, identifying the defaults); and (iv) such other information as Tenant or Tenant’s lenders may reasonably request. In addition, Landlord agrees to provide any lender of Tenant who Landlord has been
notified in writing of the requirement with written notice of any defaults by Tenant under the Lease and the same opportunity to cure such defaults as therein provided to Tenant before Landlord exercises its remedies under this Lease, and to provide
Tenant’s lender(s) with a reasonable opportunity to enter upon the Premises for the purpose of removing any property of Tenant which has been pledged as collateral to Tenant’s lender(s) or which has been subjected to any such leasehold
mortgage and/or security agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above any such leasehold mortgage and/or security agreement shall be subject and subordinate to the Landlord’s rights under the Lease and any rights of
reentry or reversion of Tenant’s predecessor in interest. 
  
 1.12 Within ten (10) days after Tenant’s written request, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and record a Memorandum of Lease in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Landlord. After the Lease terminates,
within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, Tenant shall

deliver to Landlord an executed quit claim in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant to remove the Memorandum of Lease from title to the Premises.

  
 1.13 In the event that Tenant defaults in any
of its obligations under the Lease, Landlord agrees that it will simultaneous with giving notice thereof to the Tenant, as and to the extent required by the Lease, provide written notice thereof to AboveNet Communications, Inc.
(“AboveNet”), at 360 Hamilton Avenue, White Plains, New York 10601, Attention: President, with a copy to the same address Attention: General Counsel, accept a cure of any such default from AboveNet and shall, to the extent provided in the
Assignment and Assumption of Lease between Tenant and AboveNet, allow AboveNet the right of reentry in the Premises and allow the Lease to be reassigned to AboveNet, without the requirement of any Landlord consent, and, in the event of such
reassignment, recognize AboveNet as the Tenant thereunder.
