**1.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Basis of Presentation**

Commvault Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Commvault," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company") aims to provide its customers cyber resiliency by protecting and recovering their data and cloud-native applications in a world of increasing cyber threats and attacks, including ransomware. We provide products and services across many types of environments, including on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud. Our offerings are delivered via self-managed software, software-as-a-service ("SaaS"), integrated appliances, or managed by partners. Customers use our Commvault Cloud platform to help protect themselves from threats like ransomware and recover their data efficiently.

The consolidated financial statements of Commvault as of June 30, 2025 and for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The results reported in these financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in our balance sheets and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, income taxes and related reserves, deferred commissions, goodwill, and purchased intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Reclassification of Prior Year Balances***

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. Beginning in fiscal 2026, the subscription revenues and cost of revenues line items on the consolidated statements of operations have been further disaggregated to disclose the software portion of term-based licenses and SaaS. These reclassifications have no impact on the amount of total revenues or net income.

***Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards***

There were no recently adopted accounting standards that had a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. The table below outlines recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Standard** | **Description** | **Effective Date** | **Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements (or Other Significant Matters)** |
| Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09 (Topic 740): Income Taxes | In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new standard to improve income tax disclosures. The standard requires greater disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. | This standard will be effective for us for our annual period beginning April 1, 2025. | This standard will result in additional annual tax disclosures and is not expected to have a significant impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. |
| ASU No. 2024-03 (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses | In November 2024, the FASB issued a new standard to improve income statement expense disclosures. The standard requires greater disaggregated information on certain expense captions, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. | This standard will be effective for us for our annual period beginning April 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning April 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. | We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |

---

***Concentration of Credit Risk***

We grant credit to customers in a wide variety of industries worldwide and generally do not require collateral. Credit losses relating to these customers have historically been minimal.

We rely significantly on our value-added resellers, systems integrators and corporate resellers, which we collectively refer to as resellers, for the marketing and distribution of our products and services. Further, we have non-exclusive distribution agreements with certain partners who enable a more efficient and effective distribution channel for our solutions by managing our resellers and leveraging their own industry experience.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Partner A accounted for approximately 33% and 34% of our total revenues, respectively. In addition, Partner A represented approximately 26% and 29% of our total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Separately, Partner B accounted for approximately 11% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 12% of our total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 for Partner B were not material.

***Fair Value of Financial Instruments***

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for such asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. To measure fair value, we use the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of our cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Equity securities within Level 3 include an investment in a privately held company which was valued using the measurement alternative as permitted under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 321, *Investments - Equity Securities.* This investment is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the composition of our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **<u>June 30, 2025</u>** | **Level 1** | **Level 2** | **Level 3** | **Total** |
| Assets: |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Equity securities | $— | $— | $5826 | $5826 |
| **<u>March 31, 2025</u>** | **Level 1** | **Level 2** | **Level 3** | **Total** |
| Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contingent consideration | $— | $— | $873 | $873 |

---

Based on the actual achievement of certain financial metrics as of June 30, 2025, the contingent consideration arrangement related to the acquisition of Appranix, Inc. resulted in final aggregate consideration of $1,855, of which $1,527 has already been paid and $328 was recorded in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025. The liability, with a fair value of $873 as of March 31, 2025 and classified as a Level 3 investment, was adjusted accordingly, resulting in a $545 reduction in operating expenses on our consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. As the liability is no longer subject to fair value remeasurement, it has been excluded from the table above as of June 30, 2025.

***Equity Securities Accounted for at Net Asset Value***

We held equity interests in private equity funds of $9,393 as of June 30, 2025, which are accounted for under the net asset value practical expedient as permitted under ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurement*. These investments are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The net asset values of these investments are determined using quarterly capital statements from the funds, which are based on our contributions to the funds, allocation of profit and loss and changes in fair value of the underlying fund investments. Changes in fair value as reported on the capital statements are recorded through the consolidated statements of operations as non-operating income or expense. These private equity funds focus on making investments in key technology sectors, principally by investing in companies at expansion capital and growth equity stages. We had total unfunded commitments in private equity funds of $1,175 as of June 30, 2025.

***Goodwill and Intangible Assets***

Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The carrying value of goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis on January 1, or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of its carrying amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, we have a single reporting unit. We have elected to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further analysis is required; otherwise, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value.

Our finite-lived purchased intangible assets consist of developed technology and customer relationships. Developed technology was valued using the multi-period excess earnings method and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its economic life of five years. Customer relationships were valued using the distributor method and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic life of ten years. We believe these methods most closely reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets will be consumed. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset is both not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

***Deferred Commissions Cost***

Sales commissions, bonuses, and related payroll taxes earned by our employees are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Our typical contracts include performance obligations related to term-based software licenses, SaaS offerings, perpetual software licenses, software updates, and customer support. In these contracts, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are allocated to the performance obligations based on the relative estimated standalone selling prices and then recognized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. We do not pay commissions on annual renewals of customer support contracts for perpetual licenses. The costs allocated to software and products are expensed at the time of sale, when revenue for the functional software license is recognized. The costs allocated to software updates and customer support for perpetual licenses are amortized ratably over a period of approximately five years, the expected period of benefit of the asset capitalized. We currently estimate a period of five years is appropriate based on consideration of historical average customer life and the estimated useful life of the underlying software sold as part of the transaction. The commission paid on the renewal of subscription arrangements is not commensurate with the commission paid on the initial purchase. As a result, the cost of commissions allocated to SaaS offerings, software updates and customer support on the initial term-based software license transactions are amortized over a period of approximately five years, consistent with the accounting for these costs associated with perpetual licenses. The costs of commissions allocated to SaaS offerings, software updates and customer support for the renewal of term-based software licenses is limited to the contractual period of the arrangement, as we pay a commensurate renewal commission upon the next renewal of the subscription software license and related updates and support.

The incremental costs attributable to professional services are generally amortized over the period the related services are provided and revenue is recognized. Amortization expense related to these costs is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

**(In thousands, except per share data)**

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenue**

We generate revenues through subscription arrangements, which includes both term-based software licenses and SaaS, perpetual software licenses, customer support contracts and other services.

*Term-based License*

Term-based license revenue typically includes revenue from the license portion of time-based subscription arrangements which are deployed on-premises. The revenue from these licenses is typically recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download.

*Software-as-a-service ("SaaS")*

SaaS revenue typically includes revenue from time-based subscription arrangements which are delivered via hosted cloud solutions. SaaS revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term, typically one to three years, beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer.

*Perpetual License*

Perpetual license includes the revenues from the sale of perpetual software licenses. Perpetual software license revenue is typically recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download.

*Customer Support*

Customer support includes revenues associated with support contracts tied to our software products. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support, integrated web-based support, and other premium support offerings, for both term-based software license and perpetual software license arrangements. We sell our customer support contracts as a percentage of net software purchases. Customer support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year on our perpetual licenses and over the term on our term-based licenses, which typically range from one to three years.

*Other Services*

Other services consist primarily of revenues related to professional service offerings, including consultation, assessment and design, installation services, and customer education. Revenues related to other services can vary period over period based on the timing services are delivered and are typically recognized as the services are performed.

We do not customize our software licenses (both term-based and perpetual) and installation services are not required. Software licenses are delivered before related services are provided and are functional without professional services, updates, or technical support. We have concluded that our software licenses (both term-based and perpetual) are functional intellectual property that is distinct, as the user can benefit from the software on its own. Revenues for both term-based and perpetual licenses are typically recognized when the software is delivered and/or made available for download as this is the point the user of the software can direct the use of and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the functional intellectual property. We do not recognize software revenue related to the renewal of term-based software licenses earlier than the beginning of the new subscription period.

We also offer software that integrates with appliances and address a wide range of business needs and use cases, ranging from support for remote or branch offices with limited IT staff up to large corporate data centers. These appliances are almost exclusively sold via a software only model in which we sell software to a third party, which assembles an integrated appliance that is sold to end user customers. As a result, the revenues and costs associated with hardware are usually not included in our financial statements.

| ***Other Services*** | ***Other Services*** | ***Other Services*** | ***Other Services*** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other professional services | As work is performed (over time) | Within 90 days of services being performed | Observable in transactions without multiple performance obligations |

---

*Judgments related to revenue recognition*

Most of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we evaluate and account for individual performance obligations separately if they are determined to be distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices of software licenses (both term-based and perpetual) are typically estimated using the residual approach. Standalone selling prices for SaaS, customer support contracts, and other services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis. We recognize revenue net of sales tax.

*Disaggregation of Revenues*

We disaggregate revenues from contracts with customers into geographical regions. Our Americas region includes the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Our International region primarily includes Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia, India, Southeast Asia, and China.

*Remaining Performance Obligations*

Remaining performance obligations represent expected future revenue from existing contracts where performance obligations are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations include unfulfilled contracts at the end of a given period and can include subscription arrangements (term-based licenses and SaaS), customer support and other services. As of June 30, 2025, our remaining performance obligations (inclusive of deferred revenue) were $835,430, of which approximately 62% is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder recognized thereafter.

Remaining performance obligations, excluding deferred revenue, related to subscription arrangements, customer support revenue and other services were $86,789, $57,424, and $25,782, respectively. Of these balances, we expect approximately 57% of subscription arrangements, 32% of customer support and 100% of other services to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder recognized thereafter. We expect approximately 30% of subscription arrangements and 8% of customer support remaining performance obligations to be recognized as revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. These balances represent transactions consisting primarily of early renewals, unbilled and undelivered support and other services, and orders received prior to the last day of the quarter that were not delivered or provisioned to customers.

Remaining performance obligations will fluctuate period to period. We do not believe the amount of remaining performance obligations is indicative of future sales or revenue or that the mix at the end of any given period correlates with actual sales performance.

*Information about Contract Balances*

Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are accounted for as deferred revenue. Nearly all of our deferred revenue balance is related to SaaS, customer support, and other services.

In some arrangements we allow customers to pay for term-based licenses over the term of the software license. When a term-based license arrangement contains payment terms that extend beyond one year, a significant financing component may exist. The significant financing component is calculated as the difference between the stated value and present value of the license and is recognized as interest income over the extended payment period. The total license fee net of the significant financing component is recognized as revenue at the point in time when the software is transferred to the customer. Interest income from significant financing components was not material for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of amounts billed are recorded as unbilled receivables. Unbilled receivables which are anticipated to be invoiced in the next 12 months are included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Long-term unbilled receivables are included in other assets. The opening and closing balances of our accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenues are as follows:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Accounts receivable** | **Unbilled receivable<br>(current)** | **Unbilled receivable<br>(long-term)** | **Deferred revenue**<br>**(current)** | **Deferred revenue**<br>**(long-term)** |
| Opening balance as of March 31, 2025 | $222400 | $29595 | $31343 | $402930 | $223282 |
| Increase/(decrease) | (3021) | 6474 | (2440) | 20226 | 18432 |
| Ending balance as of June 30, 2025 | $219379 | $36069 | $28903 | $423156 | $241714 |

---

The net increase in accounts receivable (inclusive of unbilled receivables) is primarily the result of an increase in revenue relative to the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase in deferred revenue is primarily the result of an increase in deferred customer support renewals during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 as well as an increase in SaaS contracts which are billed upfront but recognized ratably over the contract period.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited (continued)**

**(In thousands, except per share data)**

The amount of revenue recognized in the period that was included in the opening deferred revenue balance was $144,785 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The majority of this revenue consists of SaaS and customer support. The amount of revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not significant.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sale and Leaseback Transaction**

On April 28, 2025, we completed the sale of our owned corporate headquarters located in Tinton Falls, New Jersey for cash consideration of $36,000, excluding transaction costs, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement signed on October 2, 2024. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into a leaseback arrangement for a portion of the premises over a term of ten years, expiring April 30, 2035. The transaction met the criteria for a sale under ASC 842, *Leases* and ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* and the leaseback was determined to be an operating lease.

In connection with the transaction, the Company determined that the leaseback terms were above market. Accordingly, a financial liability of $1,300 was recognized in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and a corresponding loss was recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The Company also derecognized the carrying value of the assets held for sale and recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability of $19,563, based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to calculate the lease liability was 6.35%.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Income per Common Share**

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs"), common shares to be purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), and the exercise of stock options. The dilutive effect of such potential common shares is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Three Months Ended June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Net income | $23496 | $18527 |
| **Basic net income per common share:** |  |  |
| Basic weighted average shares outstanding | 44326 | 43678 |
| Basic net income per common share | $0.53 | $0.42 |
| **Diluted net income per common share:** |  |  |
| Basic weighted average shares outstanding | 44326 | 43678 |
| Dilutive effect of restricted stock units | 957 | 1308 |
| Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | 45283 | 44986 |
| Diluted net income per common share | $0.52 | $0.41 |

---

The diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludes RSUs, PSUs, common shares to be purchased under the ESPP and outstanding stock options totaling 157 and 175 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, because the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive.

On April 17, 2025, our board of directors (the "Board") approved an increase of the existing share repurchase program so that $250,000 was available. The Board's authorization has no expiration date. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased $15,050 of our common stock, or approximately 82 shares. The remaining amount available under the current authorization as of June 30, 2025 was $234,950. Our stock repurchase program has been funded by our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, as well as cash flows provided by our operations.

**8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock Plans**

The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense included in cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative and restructuring expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Stock-based compensation is attributable to RSUs, PSUs and the ESPP.

| General and administrative | 9200 | 6165 |
| Restructuring | 75 | 4008 |
| Stock-based compensation expense | $30180 | $26404 |

---

As of June 30, 2025, there was $179,013 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.67 years. We account for forfeitures as they occur. To the extent that awards are forfeited, stock-based compensation will be different from our current estimate.

***Restricted Stock Units***

Restricted stock unit activity for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was as follows:

**(In thousands, except per share data)**

The weighted average fair value of RSUs awarded was $185.21 and $115.60 per unit during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The weighted average fair value of awards includes the awards with a market condition described below.

***Performance Based Awards***

In the three months ended June 30, 2025, we granted approximately 77 PSUs to certain executives. Vesting of these awards is contingent upon i) us meeting certain non-GAAP performance goals (performance-based) in fiscal 2026 and ii) our customary service periods. The awards vest over three years and have the potential to vest between 0% and 300% (231 shares) based on actual fiscal 2026 performance. The vesting quantity of these awards may vary based on actual fiscal 2026 performance. The related stock-based compensation expense is determined based on the value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized over the vesting term using the accelerated method. During the interim financial periods, management estimates the probable number of PSUs that would vest until the ultimate achievement of the performance goals is known. The awards are included in the restricted stock units table.

***Awards with a Market Condition***

In the three months ended June 30, 2025, we granted approximately 77 market PSUs to certain executives. The vesting of these awards is contingent upon us meeting certain total shareholder return ("TSR") levels as compared to the Russell 3000 market index over the succeeding three years from grant date. The awards vest in three annual tranches and have the potential to vest between 0% and 300% (231 shares) based on TSR performance. The related stock-based compensation expense is determined based on the estimated fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized using the accelerated method over the vesting term. The estimated fair value was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of the awards granted during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $288.47 per unit. The awards are included in the restricted stock units table.

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes**

Income tax expense was $3,387 in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $2,127 in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in income tax expense compared to the prior year period relates primarily to estimated current federal taxes. We continue to monitor the impact of new global and U.S. legislation on our effective tax rate.

**10. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Segment Information**

We operate as a single reportable segment as we report financial information, including net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, among other measures, on a consolidated basis to our Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CODM uses consolidated net income to make operating decisions, allocate resources, and evaluate financial performance, primarily by monitoring actual results compared to forecasted results, as well as by reviewing year-over-year results and trending historical performance. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company's competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of actual versus forecasted results are used in assessing the performance of the segment.

The CODM reviews significant segment expenses for our single reportable segment. Significant segment expenses include cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, and other operating expenses, all of which are presented in our consolidated statements of operations. Other segment items include interest income, interest expense, other income, net, and income tax expense, which are also presented in our consolidated statements of operations.

Revenues by geography are based upon the billing address of the customer. All transfers between geographic regions have been eliminated from consolidated revenues. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area:

---

**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restructuring**

We initiated a restructuring plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 intended to optimize our Business Technology organization. The objective of this plan is to realign the workforce, invest in emerging capabilities, modernize the technology landscape, and streamline operations to operate with greater agility and customer focus. These charges relate primarily to severance and related costs associated with headcount reductions and stock-based compensation related to modifications of existing awards granted to certain employees impacted by the plan. We anticipate the restructuring plan will be completed in fiscal 2026. The total costs to be incurred related to the restructuring plan cannot be estimated at this time.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we initiated a restructuring plan which was completed in fiscal 2025. It was intended to enhance customer satisfaction through the reorganization and redesign of our customer success functions. The realignment of the customer success structure aimed to optimize operational efficiency and improve continuity for our customers through the pre-sales and post-sales experience. These charges related primarily to severance and related costs associated with headcount reductions, stock-based compensation related to modifications of existing awards granted to certain employees impacted by the plan and office termination and exit charges.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, restructuring charges were comprised of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Three Months Ended June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |

| Stock-based compensation | 75 | 4008 |
| Total restructuring charges | $237 | $4679 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup> Lease exit costs relate to one office for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

*Restructuring accrual*

The accrual activity related to our restructuring plans for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was as follows:

|:---|:---|
| | **Total** <sup>(</sup><sup>1)</sup> |
| Beginning balance | $790 |
| Employee severance and related costs | 162 |
| Payments | (358) |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup> During the three months ended June 30, 2025, there were no new charges incurred and $353 in payments made related to our prior restructuring plan that was completed in fiscal 2025. The amount included in the ending balance as of June 30, 2025 related to the completed plan was $437.

**12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revolving Credit Facility**

On April 15, 2025, we refinanced our existing $100,000 senior secured revolving credit facility, replacing it with a new five-year $300,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Facility is available for share repurchases, general corporate purposes, and letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains financial maintenance covenants, including a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains certain customary events of default which would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare all loans then outstanding to be immediately due and payable if such default is not cured within applicable grace periods. The Credit Facility also limits our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create or permit liens on assets, make acquisitions or investments, make loans or advances, sell or transfer assets, pay dividends or distributions, and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a per annum rate determined by the Company's election of either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%, or a base rate, which is generally the greater of a prime rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.00%. The applicable margin in each case is contingent upon the Company's leverage ratio. Additionally, the unused balance on the Credit Facility is subject to an unused commitment fee at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum subject to increases based on the Company's leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2025, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility and we were in compliance with all covenants.

We have deferred the expense related to debt issuance costs, which are classified as other assets, and will amortize the costs into interest expense over the term of the Credit Facility. Unamortized amounts as of June 30, 2025 were $1,959. The amortization of debt issuance costs and interest expense incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Three Months Ended June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Amortization of debt issuance costs | $85 | $29 |
| Interest expense | 168 | 63 |
| Total charges | $253 | $92 |

---

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsequent Event**

On July 24, 2025, we signed an agreement to acquire all of the shares of Satori Cyber, Ltd., a data and AI security company, for total cash consideration of approximately $24,000, subject to customary transaction adjustments. The primary reason for the business combination is to advance our cyber resilience strategy. As the transaction occurred subsequent to quarter-end, we are still evaluating the purchase price allocation but expect the primary assets acquired to be intangible assets and goodwill. The closing is expected to be finalized in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

**Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

*You should read the following discussion and analysis along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The statements in this discussion regarding our expectations of our future performance, liquidity and capital resources, and other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.*

**Overview**

Commvault Systems, Inc. aims to provide its customers cyber resiliency by protecting and recovering their data and cloud-native applications in a world of increasing cyber threats and attacks, including ransomware. We provide products and services across many types of environments, including on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud. Our offerings are delivered via self-managed software, software-as-a-service ("SaaS"), integrated appliances, or managed by partners.

***Sources of Revenues***

We generate revenues through subscription arrangements, which includes both term-based software licenses and SaaS, perpetual software licenses, customer support contracts and other services. A significant portion of our total revenues comes from subscription arrangements, whether deployed on-premises (term-based license) or delivered via hosted cloud SaaS solutions. These arrangements are economically and contractually similar, as customers receive access to our software for a specified term under binding agreements. We are focused on these types of recurring revenue arrangements.

We expect our subscription arrangements will continue to generate revenues from the renewals of term-based licenses and SaaS offerings sold in prior years. Any of our pricing models (capacity, instance based, etc.) can be sold either through term-based licensing or via hosted cloud SaaS solutions. In term-based license arrangements, software revenue is generally recognized when the software is delivered. Revenue related to SaaS is recognized ratably over the contract period.

We sell to end-user customers both directly through our sales force and indirectly through our global network of value-added reseller partners, systems integrators, corporate resellers, original equipment manufacturers, and marketplaces. Revenue generated through indirect distribution channels accounted for approximately 90% of total revenues in both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Revenue generated through direct distribution channels accounted for approximately 10% of total revenues in both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Deals initiated by our direct sales force are sometimes transacted through indirect channels based on end-user customer requirements, which are not always in our control and can cause this overall percentage split to vary from period-to-period. As such, there may be fluctuations in the dollars and percentage of revenue generated through our distribution channels from time-to-time. We believe that the growth of our revenue, derived from both our indirect channel partners and direct sales force, are key attributes to our long-term growth strategy. We intend to continue to invest in both our channel relationships and direct sales force in the future, but we continue to expect more revenue to be generated through indirect distribution channels over the long term. The failure of our indirect distribution channels or our direct sales force to effectively sell our products and services could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

We have non-exclusive distribution agreements with certain partners who enable a more efficient and effective distribution channel for our solutions by managing our resellers and leveraging their own industry experience. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Partner A accounted for approximately 33% and 34% of our total revenues, respectively. Separately, Partner B accounted for approximately 11% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 for Partner B were not material. If these partners discontinue or reduce the sales of our solutions or if our agreements with them were terminated, and if we were unable to take back the management of our reseller channel or find another distributor to replace them, there could be a material adverse effect on our future business.

Our customer support revenue includes support contracts tied to our software products. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support, integrated web-based support, and other premium support offerings, for both term-based software license and perpetual software license arrangements. We sell our customer support contracts as a percentage of net software purchases. Customer

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i9260f9b7b5754832a32a0dce0e7d4dbb_7)</u>

support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year on our perpetual licenses and over the term on our term-based licenses, which typically range from one to three years.

Our other services revenue consists primarily of professional service offerings, including consultation, assessment and design, installation services, and customer education. Revenues from other services can vary period over period based on the timing services are delivered and are typically recognized as the services are performed.

For additional information on how we recognize revenue, see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**Key Performance Indicators** *($ in millions)*

We monitor the following key performance indicators to help evaluate the state of our business. We believe the below metrics are material to investors to understand the growth and performance of our business, as they help normalize certain variable factors. Metrics such as Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR"), Subscription ARR, SaaS ARR and SaaS Net Dollar Retention Rate ("SaaS NRR") provide a consistent view of our recurring revenue profile. ARR, Subscription ARR, and SaaS ARR exclude non-recurring elements and reflect the annualized value of active contracts, while SaaS NRR measures net expansion within our existing customer base. Together, we believe these metrics offer meaningful insight into the health and trajectory of our recurring revenue streams.

***Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR)***

ARR represents the annualized recurring value of all active contracts at the end of a reporting period. It includes recurring subscription offerings (including term licenses, SaaS, and utility software), maintenance related to perpetual and term licenses, extended maintenance contracts (enterprise support), and managed services. It excludes non-recurring elements such as perpetual licenses and professional services which are typically delivered at a point in time. ARR is calculated by dividing the total contract value by the number of days in the contract term and multiplying by 365. We believe ARR is a valuable metric for evaluating the growth of our business, as it provides a normalized view of recurring revenue by excluding the variability associated with contract term lengths and omitting contracts that are not expected to renew.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,** | **June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Total ARR | $996.2 | $802.7 |
| % Growth | 24% | 17% |

---

***Subscription ARR***

Subscription ARR includes only term licenses, SaaS, and utility arrangements, calculated using the same methodology as ARR. We believe Subscription ARR provides meaningful insight into the growth of our subscription-based offerings and reflects both new customer acquisition and expansion within our existing customer base. As our most strategically significant and rapidly expanding revenue streams, our subscription arrangements are central to our long-term growth strategy and operational focus.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,** | **June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Subscription ARR | $843.9 | $635.9 |
| % Growth | 33% | 27% |

---

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i9260f9b7b5754832a32a0dce0e7d4dbb_7)</u>

***SaaS ARR***

SaaS ARR includes only the cloud-hosted portion of Subscription ARR and is calculated using the same methodology. SaaS ARR reflects the annualized value of active SaaS contracts and we believe this metric provides insight into customer adoption trends and expansion within our cloud-based offerings. As SaaS continues to represent a growing share of our total revenue, we view this metric as a key indicator of our ability to meet the evolving needs of our customer base. Continued adoption and conversion to SaaS arrangements are critical to sustaining our long-term growth and aligning with customer preferences for cloud-delivered solutions.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,** | **June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| SaaS ARR | $306.9 | $187.9 |
| % Growth | 63% | 66% |

---

***SaaS Net Dollar Retention Rate (SaaS NRR)***

SaaS NRR is the percentage of SaaS ARR retained from existing customers at the start of an annual period after accounting for expansion revenue, churn, and downgrades. It is presented on a constant currency basis using exchange rates as of March 31, 2025. We believe our SaaS Net Dollar Retention Rate offers valuable insight into the year-over-year expansion of our existing customer base, reflecting both increased utilization of current products and services as well as the adoption of additional offerings.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,** | **June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| SaaS NRR | 125% | 127% |

---

These metrics are non-GAAP measures and do not have standardized definitions under GAAP. As such, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these metrics to assess the health of our recurring revenue base and to inform strategic decision-making. These metrics should be viewed independently of GAAP revenue, deferred revenue and unbilled revenue and are not intended to be combined with or to replace those items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue.

**Foreign Currency Exchange Rates' Impact on Results of Operations**

Sales outside the United States were 44% and 48% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The income statements of our non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for each applicable month in a period. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions generally results in increased revenues, operating expenses and income from operations for our non-U.S. operations. Similarly, our revenues, operating expenses and income from operations will generally decrease for our non-U.S. operations if the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies.

Using the average foreign currency exchange rates from the three months ended June 30, 2024, our total revenues would have been lower by $5.0 million, our cost of revenues would have been lower by $0.2 million and our operating expenses would have been lower by $1.5 million from non-U.S. operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

In addition, we are exposed to risks of foreign currency fluctuation primarily from cash balances, accounts receivables and intercompany accounts denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to the resulting transaction gains and losses, which are recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses. We recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $1.2 million and insignificant losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Critical Accounting Policies**

In presenting our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported therein. Some of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be affected.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U.S. GAAP and does not require management's judgment in its application, while in other cases, significant judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting standards that allow different accounting treatment for similar transactions. We consider these policies requiring significant management judgment to be critical accounting policies. These critical accounting policies are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue Recognition

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accounting for Income Taxes

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

---

–Total revenues increased $57.3 million, or 26% year over year, driven primarily by an increase in both term-based license revenue and SaaS revenue, partially offset by a decrease in perpetual license revenue. We remain focused on selling subscription arrangements through both term-based software licenses and SaaS offerings.

–Term-based license revenue increased $28.9 million, or 36% year over year, primarily due to a 39% increase in larger transactions (deals greater than $0.1 million) period over period. This increase was driven by a 24% increase in customer volume and a 12% increase in the average selling price for larger transactions.

–SaaS revenue increased $28.8 million, or 66% year over year, as a result of growth in both new customer acquisitions and expansion of our existing customer base.

*–*Perpetual license revenue decreased $6.4 million, or 47% year over year. Our preferred route to market for software is led by the sale of term-based licenses. Perpetual licenses are generally only sold in certain verticals and geographies.

–Customer support revenue increased $2.7 million, or 4% year over year, driven by a $7.9 million increase in customer support revenue related to term-based license arrangements, partially offset by a $5.2 million decrease in customer support revenue attached to perpetual license support renewals.

*–*Other services revenue increased $3.3 million, or 31% year over year. Changes in other services revenue can vary period over period, primarily due to the timing professional services are delivered.

We track total revenues on a geographic basis. Our Americas region includes the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Our International region primarily includes Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia, India, Southeast Asia and China. Americas and International represented 61% and 39% of total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Total revenues increased 23% and 29% year over year in the Americas and International, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*▪* The increase in Americas total revenues was primarily due to increases of 16% and 82% in term-based license and SaaS revenues, respectively, partially offset by a 37% decrease in perpetual license revenue, driven by the shift from selling perpetual licenses to subscription software arrangements. Customer support revenue increased 1% year over year. Other services revenue increased 45% year over year primarily due to the timing professional services were delivered compared to the same period of the prior year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*▪* The increase in International total revenues was due to increases of 90%, 42%, 7% and 11% in term-based license, SaaS, customer support and other services revenues, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of 51% in perpetual license revenue, as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Our total revenues in International is subject to changes in foreign exchange rates as further discussed above in the "Foreign Currency Exchange Rates' Impact on Results of Operations" section.

*–*Total cost of revenues increased $11.0 million and represented 18% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

–Cost of term-based license revenue increased $0.5 million and represented 2% of our term-based license revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

–Cost of SaaS revenue increased $10.2 million and represented 36% of our SaaS revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The year over year increase is primarily the result of incremental hosting costs associated with acquisitions completed in fiscal 2025 and an increase in the cost of infrastructure related to growth in our SaaS offerings.

–Cost of perpetual license revenue decreased $0.1 million and represented 3% of our perpetual revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 2% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

*Operating Expenses ($ in millions)*

–Sales and marketing expenses increased $26.5 million, or 28%, primarily driven by a $13.3 million increase in employee compensation and sales commissions associated with increases in headcount and revenues relative to the same period in the prior year, including an increase of $3.1 million in stock-based compensation. In addition, there was an increase year over year of $9.0 million due to higher spending on marketing initiatives, which included in-person events and travel.

–Research and development expenses increased $7.0 million, or 21%, driven by an increase of $5.4 million in employee compensation and related expenses, including an increase of $1.9 million in stock-based compensation. The increase in employee compensation and related expenses is primarily driven by additional headcount, including headcount related to acquisitions completed in fiscal 2025. Investing in research and development remains a priority for Commvault and we anticipate continued responsible spending related to the development of our software applications and hosted services.

*–*General and administrative expenses increased $10.5 million, or 34%, driven by an increase of $8.3 million in employee compensation and related expenses, including an increase of $3.0 million in stock-based compensation.

–Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.7 million, driven by the acquisition of intangible assets in fiscal 2025.

–Restructuring: Our restructuring plan, initiated in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, is intended to optimize our Business Technology organization. Restructuring expenses were $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. These charges relate primarily to severance and related costs associated with headcount reductions and include $0.1 million of stock-based compensation related to modifications of existing awards granted to certain employees impacted by the plan. We anticipate the restructuring plan will be completed in fiscal 2026. Restructuring expenses were $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to a prior restructuring plan that was completed in fiscal 2025.

Risks associated with our restructuring plan include additional unexpected costs, adverse effects on employee morale and the failure to meet operational and growth targets due to the loss of key employees, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated results of operations or otherwise harm our business.

–Change in contingent consideration: During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a reduction to expense of $0.5 million related to the final achievement under our contingent consideration arrangement related to the acquisition of Appranix, Inc. The arrangement, with final aggregate consideration

of $1.9 million, was contingent upon meeting certain financial metrics by June 30, 2025 and could have ranged up to $4.0 million.

*Income Tax Expense*

Income tax expense was $3.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to expense of $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in income tax expense compared to the same period in the prior year relates primarily to estimated current federal taxes. We continue to monitor the impact of new global and U.S. legislation on our effective tax rate.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

In recent fiscal years, our principal source of liquidity has been cash provided by operations. As of June 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $363.2 million, of which approximately $289.7 million was held outside of the United States by our foreign legal entities. These balances are dispersed across approximately 35 international locations around the world. We believe that such dispersion meets the current and anticipated future liquidity needs of our foreign legal entities. In the event we need to repatriate funds from outside of the United States, such repatriation would likely be subject to restrictions by local laws and/or tax consequences, including foreign withholding taxes.

On April 15, 2025, we refinanced our existing $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility, replacing it with a new five-year $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Facility is available for share repurchases, general corporate purposes, and letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains financial maintenance covenants, including a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains certain customary events of default which would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare all loans then outstanding to be immediately due and payable if such default is not cured within applicable grace periods. The Credit Facility also limits our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create or permit liens on assets, make acquisitions or investments, make loans or advances, sell or transfer assets, pay dividends or distributions, and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a per annum rate determined by the Company's election of either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%, or a base rate, which is generally the greater of a prime rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.00%. The applicable margin in each case is contingent upon the Company's leverage ratio. Additionally, the unused balance on the Credit Facility is subject to an unused commitment fee at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum subject to increases based on the Company's leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2025, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility and we were in compliance with all covenants.

On April 17, 2025, the Board of Directors approved an increase of the existing share repurchase program so that $250.0 million was available. The Board's authorization has no expiration date. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased $15.1 million of our common stock. The remaining amount available under the current authorization as of June 30, 2025 was $235.0 million.

Our summarized cash flow information is as follows (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Three Months Ended June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $31.7 | $44.7 |
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 26.8 | (22.3) |
| Net cash used in financing activities | (16.9) | (46.1) |
| Effects of exchange rate - changes in cash | 19.5 | (1.2) |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $61.1 | $(24.9) |

–Net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by net income adjusted for the impact of non-cash charges and a decrease in accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue.

–Net cash provided by investing activities was the result of $34.8 million of net proceeds from the sale of Commvault's corporate headquarters, partially offset by $6.1 million for the purchase of equity securities and $1.9 million of capital expenditures.

–Net cash used in financing activities was the result of $15.1 million of repurchases of our common stock and $1.8 million of payment of debt issuance costs.

Working capital increased $51.1 million from $80.0 million as of March 31, 2025 to $131.1 million as of June 30, 2025. The net increase in working capital was primarily the result of an increase in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease in accrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase in the current portion of deferred revenue.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and our cash from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital, income taxes, capital expenditures and potential stock repurchases for at least the next 12 months. We may seek additional funding through public or private financings or other arrangements during this period. Adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders will result. If we raise additional funds by obtaining loans from third parties, the terms of those financing arrangements may include negative covenants or other restrictions on our business that could impair our operational flexibility and would also require us to fund additional interest expense. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products or services, take advantage of business opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards**

See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impact of recently issued accounting standards.

**Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

***Interest Rate Risk***

None.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i9260f9b7b5754832a32a0dce0e7d4dbb_7)</u>

***Foreign Currency Risk***

*Economic Exposure*

As a global company, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our international sales are generally denominated in foreign currencies and this revenue could be materially affected by currency fluctuations. Approximately 44% of our sales were outside the United States for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Our primary exposures are to fluctuations in exchange rates for the U.S. dollar versus the Euro, and to a lesser extent, the Australian dollar, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Korean won and Singapore dollar. Changes in currency exchange rates could adversely affect our reported revenues and require us to reduce our prices to remain competitive in foreign markets, which could also have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Historically, we have periodically reviewed and revised the pricing of our products available to our customers in foreign countries and we have not maintained excess cash balances in foreign accounts.

*Transaction Exposure*

Our exposure to foreign currency transaction gains and losses is primarily the result of certain net receivables due from our foreign subsidiaries and customers being denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary. Our foreign subsidiaries conduct their businesses in local currency and we generally do not maintain excess U.S. dollar cash balances in foreign accounts.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. We recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $1.2 million and insignificant losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Item 4 - Controls and Procedures**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of June 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

***Inherent Limitations on Internal Controls***

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

From time to time, we are subject to claims in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. We do not believe that we are currently party to any pending legal action that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or operating results. Please refer to Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 for additional information.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025, which are incorporated herein by reference, and could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial conditions or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose part or all of their investment. There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**

***Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***

On April 17, 2025, the Board of Directors approved an increase of the existing share repurchase program so that $250.0 million was available. The Board's authorization has no expiration date. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased $15.1 million of common stock, or approximately 0.1 million shares, under our share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining amount available under the current authorization was $235.0 million. A summary of our repurchases of common stock is as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Period** | **Total number of shares purchased** | **Average price paid per share** | **Total number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced programs** | **Approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the program<br>(in thousands)** |
| April 1, 2025 - April 30, 2025 |  | $— |  | $250000 |
| May 1, 2025 - May 31, 2025 |  | $— |  | $250000 |

Landlord will bill Tenant on a calendar quarter schedule, i.e., January, April, July, and October, for Tenant's ASC for each calendar year. Tenant will pay such amount no later than ten (10) days prior to the date such quarterly payment is due (i.e. February 1<sup>st</sup>, May 1<sup>st</sup>, August 1<sup>st</sup>, and November 1<sup>st</sup> of each year). If the Financial Agreement is not in effect at any time following the Commencement Date, then Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant's Share of Real Estate Taxes (as hereinafter defined) issued with respect to the Building and Land which shall be included in Operating Expenses and paid in monthly installments in accordance with Section 4(b)(i) of this Lease.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Landlord is assessed any Real Estate Taxes, or other amounts related to the Charles Wood Fire Station (as defined in the First Amendment to the Financial Agreement), Tenant shall pay 100% of all such amounts assessed or charged to Landlord.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Tenant Audit Rights</u>. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is

continuing, for one hundred twenty (120) days following Landlord's delivery of the Expense Statement, Tenant will have the right, during normal business hours and upon no less than five (5) days prior notice to Landlord (an "**Audit Notice**"), to examine Landlord's books and records (the "**Records**") for the purpose of confirming the accuracy of the Expense Statement. Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the amounts set forth in the Expense Statement unless (i) Tenant commences the audit of the Records within fourteen (14) days after Tenant's delivery of the Audit Notice to Landlord and completes such audit within thirty (30) days of commencement of the audit; and (ii) Tenant delivers a notice to Landlord detailing any errors discovered during any audit specifying in detail any errors in the Expense Statement within forty five (45) days after Tenant has completed its audit. If such examination discloses an overpayment by Tenant of its payment of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of Tenant's overpayment within thirty (30) days, or at Landlord's option, apply such overpayment towards Rent next due, and if the examination reveals an underpayment by Tenant such underpayment shall be paid with the next due payment of Rent (but no sooner than thirty (30) days thereafter). The Tenant audit will be limited strictly to those items in the Operating Expenses statement that are the subject of the Tenant Audit and Tenant will not be entitled to inspect any of the Landlord's Records that apply to any prior year statement or other year other than that covered by most recent Expense Statement. In connection with any examination by Tenant of the Records, Tenant agrees to treat and to instruct its employees, accountants and agents to treat all information not otherwise in the public domain as confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 28(x). The Tenant audit will be conducted only by Tenant or its representative, and Tenant shall not engage the services of any legal counsel, accountant, or other professional consultant who charges for its services on a so-called contingency fee basis for the purpose of reviewing the Records.

In the event that Operating Expenses shown on the Expense Statement are greater than one hundred four (104%) percent of the actual Operating Expenses as determined by Tenant's audit, Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for Tenant's Audit Costs (hereinafter defined), to a maximum reimbursement of {REDACTED}. The term "**Audit Costs**" means the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the audit.

maintenance and repair obligations as described in Section 9(c) below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Tenant's Work</u>**. Prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,

performed such work as was necessary or desired by Tenant to improve the Premises for occupancy. To the extent there are any defects in Tenant's Work to prepare the premises or separate the Premises from the rest of the Building, the repairs required to remedy such defects shall be completed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to remove any Tenant's Work or restore any part of the Building or the Project with respect to any alterations or improvements in place as of the Commencement Date and such work related to the partition of the Premises from the balance of the Building.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.**<u>SERVICES</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>General Description of Services</u>**. So long as this Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord

shall furnish the following services:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Air conditioning and heat when necessary to provide a temperature condition required, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, for comfortable occupancy of the Building under normal business operations, Monday through Friday from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and Saturdays from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M., Holidays excepted. Levels of heating and air conditioning ("**HVAC**") are subject to adjustments pursuant to compliance by Landlord with Laws and guidelines relating to energy use.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Domestic water in common with other tenants for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes drawn through fixtures installed by Landlord within the core of the Building, and warm or tepid water in common with other tenants for lavatory purposes from the same regular Building supply and fixtures.

Tenant shall provide its own janitorial services for the Premises, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and the cost of any janitorial or cleaning services allocated or expended for leasable or occupied spaces (as opposed to Common Areas), shall not be included in the Operating Expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reasonable security for the Building, provided, Landlord makes no representation or warranty that the access system or any future system employed at the Building or Project to monitor access to the Building or Project will prevent unauthorized access to the Project, Building or the Premises or prevent theft, vandalism or other intentional malicious acts. To the maximum extent under Laws, Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any damages or liability relating to the Building or Project security. Landlord's security requirements do not extend to Tenant's internal security measures which shall be Tenant's responsibility. Tenant will be responsible for the security and safety of all Tenant's employees, invitees, officers, directors, contractors, subcontractors and agents within the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that the first floor of the Building will be open to the public and Landlord's access restrictions to the public will be limited solely to the second floor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to Landlord's obligations contained in Section 9(c) below, Landlord will operate, maintain, repair, replace, improve, and supply utilities and keep clean the Land and

Building and all Common Areas, consistent with Class A office buildings in the suburban submarket of New Jersey where the Building is located.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Electricity</u>**. Tenant has prior to the Commencement Date separately metered the Data Center for electricity, and Tenant shall make all necessary arrangements with the utility company for paying for electric current furnished by it to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay directly to the applicable utility provider for all charges for electric current consumed within the Data Center during the Term. Tenant's consumption of electricity to portions of the Premises excluding the Data Center (the "**Office Portion(s)**") shall be measured by one or more submeters (collectively, the "**Submeter**") installed by Tenant and existing as of the Commencement Date. Tenant shall pay for electricity as shown on said Submeter at Landlord's actual cost (with no mark-up or profit) no later than ten (10) days prior to the date payment is due to the utility for such electricity, provided Landlord has timely provided Tenant the invoice for the Submeter, and Tenant shall be responsible for any late fees or charges resulting from Tenant's late payment of such amount. Landlord shall not be permitted to perform any work, services, or alterations to the electric system in, on, or about the Premises which is reasonably likely to have a direct impact on the electric service of the Premises without providing Tenant prior written notice. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right during the Term to continue to utilize its electric power monitoring system (EPMS) to ensure the electric provided to the Premises is sufficient for Tenant's purposes. Except as provided in Section 43, Tenant shall make no alterations or additions to the electric equipment or systems in the Premises or the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant also agrees that to the extent they will be visible from the exterior or common areas of the Building, all lamps, bulbs, ballasts and starters used in the Premises during the Term shall be of color, temperature, and brightness as directed by Landlord. Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building or the risers or wiring installed thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u>**Tenant shall be solely responsible for maintaining the generators on the Project servicing the Premises, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, except as set forth in the last sentence of this clause (c),

including having the generators maintained on their recommended maintenance schedule and providing Landlord any reports prepared by the Tenant or its servicer in connection with the maintenance. In the event that any part of the Building loses power and the Landlord requires access to the generators on a temporary basis in order to provide power to the balance of the Building, or if Landlord requires additional power for use by other tenants or occupants of the Building ("**Additional LL Requested Power**"), then Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith and on a cooperative basis to accommodate Landlord's temporary power needs and/or Additional LL Requested Power, as applicable. The parties hereby agree that in the event that the Building shall lose power and the generators are needed, the power allocation from the generators shall be applied based on the following priority: i) first to support any and all Building life safety systems, ii) second, to ensure the Data Center is operational, and iii) to the remaining portions of the Building. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord Parties against any and all loss, claim, expense, liability and cost (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way related to the failure of the generators to provide power to support the Building life safety systems resulting from Tenant's failure to (x) adhere to a regular maintenance schedule and take prudent measures to maintain the generators in good order and working condition or (y) allocate such power to the life safety systems as a priority over any other part of the Building including the Data Center. If Tenant provides Landlord with Additional LL Requested Power, then from and after the date on which Tenant provides such Additional LL Requested Power, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, within ten (10) days following written demand therefor, (I) a proportionate share of Tenant's maintenance and repair costs based on the amount of power from the generator reserved or utilized by Landlord, (II) all costs incurred by Tenant to establish new connections to connect Landlord and any tenants or occupants or users of the Additional LL Requested Power to the generator, and (III) for proportionate share of the cost of fuel consumed by the generators to power the Additional LL Requested Power.

(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Telecommunications</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Telecommunication Services**. Tenant and its telecommunications companies, including local exchange telecommunications companies and alternative access vendor services companies, shall have no right of access to and within the Building or any other portion of the Project, for the installation and operation of telecommunications systems, including voice, video, data, Internet, Wi-Fi, and any other services provided over wire, fiber optic, microwave, wireless, and any other transmission systems ("**Telecommunications Services**"), for part or all of Tenant's telecommunications within the Building and from the Building to any other location without Landlord's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed but subject to the terms of this Lease and prior execution and delivery of an access agreement on Landlord's standard form, subject to reasonable modification by Tenant. Landlord may reasonably restrict and control access to telephone cabinets and rooms and Building systems and risers. Tenant may not use or access the Building Structure, Building systems, Common Area or roof of the Building for any of Tenant's improvements for Telecommunication Services without Landlord's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Landlord reserves the right to reasonably restrict and control access to telecommunication cabinets which serve premises within the Building other than the Premises. All providers of Telecommunications Services shall be required to comply with the rules and regulations provided for in this Lease, applicable Laws and Landlord's policies and practices for the Building. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not be required to provide or arrange for any Telecommunications Services and that Landlord shall have no liability to any Tenant Parties in connection with the installation, operation or maintenance of Telecommunications Services or any equipment or facilities relating thereto. Tenant, at its cost and for its own account, shall be solely responsible for obtaining all Telecommunications Services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cable Installation**. Tenant may install, maintain, replace and remove (collectively, the "**Cable Work**") and use any communications or computer wires, cables, fibers, connections and related telecommunications equipment and/or other facilities for telecommunications (collectively, "**Cable(s)**") within or serving the Premises, provided: (1) Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior approval to any installation thereof (it being agreed that no approval shall be required in connection with any ordinary maintenance and use of the same), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 of this Lease, shall use an experienced, licensed and qualified contractor approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall comply with provisions of this Lease and shall not interfere with the use of any then-existing Cables within or serving the Building; (2) an acceptable number of spare Cables and space for additional Cables shall be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Building; (3) if Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, the Cables therefor (including riser Cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation; (4) all Cable Work shall be performed pursuant to the standards reasonably designated by Landlord and attached as <u>Exhibit I</u> following Lease execution. Tenant will be responsible for and will pay all costs incurred in connection with the installation of Tenant's Cables and related wiring in the Premises, including, without limitation, any hook-up, access and maintenance fees charged by third parties and related to the installation of such wires and cables in the Premises and the commencement of service therein, and for the maintenance thereafter of such Cable Work and such wire and cables. If Tenant fails to maintain all Cables and related wiring and infrastructure in the Premises or Building and such failure adversely affects or interferes with the operation or maintenance of any other telecommunication cables or related wiring in the Building, with the exception of Tenant's Data Center, Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant and if Tenant fails to commence the

------

applicable maintenance within five (5) business days following Landlord's delivery of such notice, Landlord or any vendor hired by Landlord may enter into and upon the Premises with prior written notice to Tenant (except in an emergency when no notice will be required) and perform such repairs, restorations or alterations that Tenant failed to perform (and Landlord may recover from Tenant all of Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket costs in connection therewith.) Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to): (i) install new Cables at the Building, (ii) create additional space for Cables at the Building (other than within the Data Center), and (iii) reasonably direct, monitor and/or supervise the installation, maintenance, replacement and removal of the allocation and periodic re allocation of available space (if any) for, and the allocation of excess capacity (if any) on, any Cables now or hereafter installed at the Building by Landlord, Tenant or any other person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord's approval shall not be required for any Cabling Work in connection with the Data Center, so long as it only impacts the Data Center and does not affect beyond a de minimis extent any other part of the Building, nor for any contractor utilized by Tenant for the same. Tenant shall give Landlord prior notice of any Cable Work with respect to the Data Center (except in an emergency).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Cable Removal**. Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any cables, or low-voltage wiring upon expiration of the Lease, including, without limitation, any cables or other wiring serving the Data Center which were installed prior to the Commencement Date or if installed after the Commencement Date, were installed without Landlord's approval.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Extra or Additional Services</u>**. Tenant may request Landlord (and/or Landlord's property manager) to provide services which are extra or additional services to those described in Section 8(a), by delivery to Landlord of an advance written request therefor. If Landlord or its property manager, at either such party's discretion, shall agree to so provide any such services which are extra or in addition to those services described in Section 8(a), Tenant shall pay for any such extra or additional services so provided by Landlord or its property manager at Landlord's or its property manager's then-current established rates therefor from time to time, or if there are no established rates, at the rate of one hundred five percent (105%) of the cost of providing such service, or as otherwise agreed by Landlord (and/or Landlord's property manager, if applicable) and Tenant. All charges for any such extra or additional services so provided by Landlord or its property manager shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives Landlord's (or Landlord's property manager's) bill therefor, or in installments as may be designated by Landlord (and/or Landlord's property manager, if applicable) to Tenant in writing. If Tenant fails to pay when due Landlord's (or Landlord's property manager's) proper charges for any such extra or additional services, Landlord (and/or Landlord's property manager, if applicable) shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to such party, to discontinue furnishing any such extra or additional services for which Tenant has failed to pay. If Landlord (and/or Landlord's property manager, if applicable) discontinues any such extra or additional services as provided in this Section 8(d), no such discontinuance shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use of the Premises or render Landlord or Landlord's property manager liable for damages or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holidays</u>**. For purposes of this Section 8, "**Holidays**" means New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and any other day recognized as a holiday designated by the federal government from time to time when most non-military federal government employees are not required to work.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interruption of Services</u>**. Except for a Material Operational Impact set forth in Section 42 and the access restrictions set forth in Section 43, Tenant agrees that neither Landlord, nor any of Landlord's constituent members, shareholders, officers, or directors, nor any of their respective agents, partners or employees (including, without limitation, Landlord's property manager), shall be liable for

------

damage or injury to person, property or business or for loss or interruption of business, or for any other matter, in the event there is any failure, delay, interruption or diminution in furnishing any service, or in the event there is any other interruption or interference with the Tenant's ability to conduct business in the Premises on account of Landlord entry to the Premises to perform any work as permitted hereunder, including but not limited to, such work pursuant to Sections 8(g), 9(c), and 13 below. No such failure, delay, interruption or diminution shall be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the Premises, in whole or in part, actual or constructive, nor entitle Tenant to any claim for set-off, abatement or reduction of Rent, nor render Landlord or Landlord's property manager liable for damages, nor relieve Tenant from the performance of or affect any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, except as otherwise provided in Section 42. However, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such failure, delay, interruption or diminution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant's Cooperation</u>**. Tenant agrees to cooperate reasonably with Landlord, at all times, in abiding by all regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of all utilities and services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Premises or the Project. Tenant agrees that there shall be no construction of partitions or other obstructions which might interfere with the moving of the servicing equipment of Landlord to or from the enclosures containing said installations; provided, however, that, Landlord shall give Tenant at least two (2) business days' prior written notice of entry to the Premises for such purpose, and at all times during any such entry Landlord will use reasonable efforts to minimize unreasonable interference with the conduct of Tenant's business. Tenant further agrees that neither Tenant nor its employees, agents, licensees, invitees or contractors shall at any time tamper with, adjust or otherwise in any manner adversely affect Landlord's mechanical installations in the Premises or the Project. Tenant shall have the right to have a representative present during any entry into the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Supplemental Heating or Cooling</u>**. Whenever, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, Tenant's use or occupation of the Premises, including lighting, personnel, heat generating machines or equipment, or airborne emissions of smoke or other particulates, individually or cumulatively, causes the design loads for the system providing heat and air-cooling to be exceeded, or otherwise adversely affects the temperature, humidity or air quality otherwise maintained by the heating, ventilating and air handling or conditioning system in the Premises or the Building (it being agreed that Tenant's ordinary use of the Premises for office use and the Data Center as contemplated under this Lease and at its current levels of use as of the Commencement Date (excluding any material elevation in current use) shall be deemed not to violate the foregoing), then, after Landlord has first provided Tenant with three (3) days' written notice to cure such condition (provided that no such notice or cure period shall be required in the case of an emergency), if Tenant shall have failed to cure during such period, Landlord and/or Landlord's property manager may, but shall not be obligated to, temper such excess loads by installing supplementary heating or air handling or conditioning units in the Premises or elsewhere where necessary. In such event, the cost of such units and the expense of installation, including, without limitation, the cost of preparing working drawings and specifications, plus five percent (5%) of such cost as an overhead and supervision fee, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord or Landlord's property manager (as the case may be) within thirty (30) days after such party's demand therefor. Alternatively, Landlord may require Tenant to install such supplementary heating or air handling or conditioning units at Tenant's sole expense. Additionally, Tenant shall have the right to install supplementary heating and/or cooling units, subject to Landlord's approval of Tenant's plans for the supplementary units. The expense resulting from the installation, operation and maintenance of any such supplementary heating or air handling or conditioning units, including utility charges, charges for condenser water, repair costs, labor costs and rent for space occupied by any supplementary heating or air handling or conditioning units installed by or on behalf of Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Access</u>**. {REDACTED}

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cooled Water System</u>**. As of the Commencement Date, the parties acknowledge that the existing chillers and cooled water system (the "**Cooled Water System**") for the Building solely service the Data Center, IDF closet and kitchen walk-ins. As of the Commencement Date, Tenant utilizes approximately 45% of the Cooled Water System capacity, and desires to retain redundancy of an additional 45%, with a total reservation of approximately 90% of the Cooled Water System being allocated to Tenant. Tenant shall be solely responsible for maintaining, at its sole cost and expense, the Cooled Water System and Landlord shall grant Tenant reasonable access to all areas of the Building necessary in connection with such maintenance, for which Tenant agrees to maintain the Cooled Water System at all times in good working order. In the event that Landlord elects to make the unreserved remaining 10% of the Cooled Water System available to any other Building tenants or other party of the Building, Tenant shall, upon written notice from Landlord, cooperate with Landlord to make such modifications and additions to the system to make the remaining 10% available the Building. In the alternative, if Tenant shall notify Landlord that it desires to reserve the remaining 10% of the Cooled Water System for its own use, Landlord agrees that it shall not cause the Cooled Water System to be modified to allocate the remaining availability, and instead shall install a supplemental system to provide cooled water to other parts of the Building (and submeters to measure usage by other areas of the Building other than the Premises) (collectively, the "**Supplemental System**") at Tenant's sole cost and expense in accordance with the provisions of this clause (k), which shall be reimbursed to Landlord within thirty (30) days delivery of an invoice for the equipment obtained and work performed. Prior to installing such Supplemental System, Landlord shall obtain an estimate for the cost thereof from a reputable contractor licensed to perform such work ("**Landlord's Estimate**") and deliver a copy of Landlord's Estimate to Tenant. If Tenant agrees with the cost set forth in Landlord's Estimate, then Landlord shall proceed with the installation of the Supplemental System in accordance with Landlord's Estimate. If Tenant does not agree in good faith with Landlord's Estimate, Tenant shall have the right to obtain its own estimate from a reputable contractor licensed to perform such work ("**Tenant's Estimate**"). If Tenant's Estimate is lower than Landlord's Estimate, Landlord shall utilize Tenant's contractor to perform such work in accordance with Tenant's Estimate. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's actual, out-of-pocket cost incurred for the installation of such Supplemental System solely as set forth on either Landlord's Estimate or Tenant's Estimate (in accordance with the preceding provisions of this clause (k)) within thirty (30) days after completion of the work and delivery of an invoice to Tenant for the equipment obtained and work performed. Landlord shall maintain and repair and replace, if needed, at its own cost and expense the Supplemental System, and Tenant shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Water and Sewer Billing; Sewer Credit</u>**. Tenant has installed a submeter to measure the amount of water that is used by the Cooled Water System. Tenant shall provide monthly reports of such usage to Landlord within ten (10) days following the end of each billing cycle for the water and sewer at the Building. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of the percentage of the water and sewer bill utilized by the Cooled Water System for the Data Center, which shall be calculated as a percentage of the entire Building water usage based on Tenant's reporting of the water usage for the Cooled Water System divided by the total water used by the Building ("**Cooled Water Usage**"). In addition, Tenant shall be responsible (without duplication, and in lieu of, of any costs included in Operating Expenses for water and sewer) for a portion of the remainder of the water and sewer bill based on a modified pro rata share, which shall be a percentage of the remaining water and sewer bill calculated based on Tenant's rentable square footage (excluding the Data Center) divided by the entire Building rentable square footage (excluding the data center) (i.e., 36.65%)("**Modified Pro Rata Share**"). Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amounts due hereunder for the water and sewer bills no later than ten (10) days prior to such date the payment is due to the utility, provided that Landlord timely delivers invoices therefor to Tenant. In connection with the operation of the Cooled Water System, the Building is eligible for a credit to the sewer bill based on the evaporation of water used by the Cooled Water System that is not ultimately run back into the sewer system.

------

Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate to continue to file such reports to receive the sewer credit from the utility. Any sewer credit received directly related to the Cooled Water Usage by the Cooled Water System shall be applied to the amounts payable or paid by Tenant for its portion of the sewer bill directly related to the Cooled Water Usage. To the extent that Landlord shall apply for and receive any additional sewer credits for the remainder of the Building HVAC system, such amounts shall be applied based on Tenant's Modified Pro Rata Share to reduce the sewer bills payable by Tenant with respect to the remainder of the Building. In the event that the Cooled Water System is made available to other tenants in the Building (excluding current use for IDF closet and kitchen walk-in), Tenant's payment of the water and sewer bill (including allocations of the sewer credit) amounts allocated to the Cooled Water Usage shall be pro rata reduced by the percentage of the Cooled Water Usage used by such other tenants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.**<u>CONDITION AND CARE OF PREMISES</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Condition of Premises</u>**. Tenant's taking possession of the Premises or any portion thereof shall be conclusive evidence against Tenant that such portion of the Premises was then in good order and satisfactory condition. Tenant acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth herein, the Premises shall be accepted by Tenant in its "as is" condition, and that no promise by or on behalf of Landlord, any of Landlord's constituent members, the leasing agent of the Project or any of their respective agents, partners or employees, to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or clean the Premises has been made to or relied upon by Tenant, and that no representation respecting the condition of the Premises or the Project by or on behalf of Landlord, its constituent members, or any of their respective agents, partners or employees has been made to or relied upon by Tenant, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant's Repairs</u>**. Subject to the provisions regarding fire and other casualty losses set forth in Section 17 hereof, Tenant, at its expense, shall (i) keep the Premises (including all Tenant Alterations) in good order, repair and first class condition at all times during the Term, other than any portions of the Premises that are Landlord's responsibility pursuant to the provisions of Section 9(c) of this Lease, and (ii) promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises, including damage to interior windows and to any portion of the Building air conditioning, heating, electrical and plumbing systems, including any bathrooms, which run through and exclusively serve the Premises or which are caused by Tenant or its contractors, agents, employees or invitees. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any material repair, maintenance or replacement items required under this Section 9(b). All work with respect to any such maintenance, repair or replacement shall be performed within a reasonable period after the need for such action arises and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof and with materials of similar or better quality to the original materials. If Tenant has not made such repairs within thirty (30) days of written notice by Landlord or such longer period of time as is reasonably necessary in the event thirty (30) days is not sufficient time to make the repairs, provided Tenant has commenced the repair work and is diligently pursuing the repairs (or immediately in the event of an emergency), Landlord (or Landlord's property manager) may, in its sole discretion, elect to effect such repairs, and, in such case, Tenant shall pay Landlord (or Landlord's property manager) the cost thereof plus a coordination and management fee equal to ten percent (10%) of such cost, within thirty (30) days following such party's written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, in connection with the Data Center, unless failure to timely perform the repair work will result in damage to the structural elements of the Data Center or the Building systems therein or have any adverse effect on portions of the Building outside the Data Center, Landlord may not enter the Data Center to perform any repair work unless authorized by Tenant, in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord's Repairs</u>**. Subject to the provisions regarding fire and other casualty losses set forth in Section 17 hereof, Landlord shall (i) keep the foundations, roofs, exterior walls, and the structural elements of the Building, and the common and public areas in the Building, exclusive of the Premises and other tenant spaces occupied by or under the control of tenants, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Term, and (ii) keep in good order, condition and repair all outside windows of the Premises

------

and the elevator, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems servicing the Premises (other than as set forth in Section 9(b) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Landlord shall not be responsible for the maintenance or repair of any floor or wall coverings in the Premises or any of such systems which are located exclusively within the Premises and are supplemental or special to the Building's standard systems; and (B) subject to Section 16(a) hereof, the cost of performing any of said maintenance or repairs, whether to the Premises or to the Building, caused by the negligence of Tenant, its employees, agents, servants, licensees, subtenants, contractors or invitees, shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days following Landlord's written demand therefor. Upon at least two (2) business days' prior written notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency, where no such notice shall be required but Landlord shall notify Tenant as soon as reasonably practicable after such entry), and so long as Landlord uses good faith efforts to maintain reasonable access to the Premises and to minimize unreasonable interference with the conduct of Tenant's business, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises (other than the Data Center except as set forth herein) at all reasonable times to make repairs, alterations, improvements and additions to the Building or to any equipment located in the Building (other than any equipment owned by Tenant) as Landlord shall desire or deem necessary or as Landlord may be required to make by governmental authority or court order or decree; provided, that (i) to the extent that any existing pipes, conduits or ducts are concealed or enclosed, any pipes, conduits or ducts installed in or through the Premises shall be concealed behind interior walls, floors or ceilings, or shall be enclosed and "boxed in" adjacent to interior walls, floors or ceilings, it being agreed that any exposed pipes, conduits or ducts shall be permitted only if consistent with the then design and aesthetic of the Premises, (ii) when completed, the installation of such pipes, ducts or conduits shall not reduce the useable areas of the Premises more than a de minimis amount, (iii) Landlord shall repair all damage to the Premises caused by such work (notwithstanding anything that may be implied or expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, including, without limitation Section 9(b)), (iv) Landlord shall perform any such repairs, alterations, improvements and additions that Landlord is required to perform pursuant to this Lease, and (v) Landlord shall not materially (I) impair Tenant's access to the Premises from the public portions of the Building, or (II) reduce the Building services being provided to Tenant, in each case for more than the interim period required by Landlord's repairs. Tenant shall have the right to have a representative of Tenant present in the Premises during any such entry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Rights to Light, Air or View</u>**. This Lease does not grant any rights to light, air or view over or about the real property of Landlord or any other real property. Landlord specifically excepts and reserves to itself all rights to and the use of any roofs, the exterior portions of the Premises, the land, improvements and air and other rights below the improved floor level of the Premises, the improvements and air and other rights above the improved ceiling of the Premises, the improvements and air and other rights located outside the demising walls of the Premises, and such areas within the Premises as are required for installation of utility lines and other installations required to serve the Building or any occupants of the Building, and Landlord specifically reserves to itself the right to use, maintain and repair same, and no rights with respect thereto are conferred upon Tenant, unless otherwise specifically provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hazardous Substances</u>**. Subject to Section 6(b) of this Lease, Tenant shall comply, at its sole expense, with all Laws relating to the protection of public health, safety and welfare and with all environmental Laws in the use, occupancy and operation of the Premises. Tenant agrees that no Hazardous Substances (as hereinafter defined) shall be used, located, stored or processed on the Premises or be brought into the Building by Tenant, and no Hazardous Substances will be released or discharged from the Premises (including, but not limited to, ground water contamination) by Tenant. The term "**Hazardous Substances**" shall mean and include all hazardous and toxic substances, waste or materials, any pollutant or contaminant, including, without limitation, PCB's, asbestos and raw materials that include hazardous constituents or any other similar substances or materials that are now or hereafter included under or regulated by any environmental Laws or that would pose a health, safety or environmental hazard, but shall not include cleaning supplies and items used in the ordinary conduct of Tenant's business in compliance with Law. In

------

the event that Tenant is notified of any investigation or violation of any environmental Law arising from Tenant's activities at the Premises, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord a copy of such notice. In such event or in the event Landlord reasonably believes that a violation of environmental Law by Tenant for which Tenant is responsible under this Lease exists, Landlord may conduct such tests and studies relating to compliance by Tenant with environmental Laws or the alleged presence of Hazardous Substances upon the Premises as Landlord deems desirable, all of which shall be completed at Tenant's expense. Landlord's inspection and testing rights are for Landlord's own protection only, and Landlord has not, and shall not be deemed to have, assumed any responsibility to Tenant or any other party for compliance with environmental Laws, as a result of the exercise or non-exercise of such rights. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord and all of Landlord's constituent members, and its and their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, agents, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the "**Landlord Parties**"), from and against any and all loss, claim, expense, liability and cost (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way related to the presence of any Hazardous Substance introduced to the Premises during the Term by Tenant or any of Tenant's contractors, agents, employees, or invitees. The foregoing indemnification does not extend to any negligent or willful acts or omissions of Landlord, Landlord Parties, or any co-tenant or other occupant of the Building or Project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Americans with Disabilities Act</u>**. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.), and other similar regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the "**ADA**") establish requirements for business operations, accessibility and barrier removal. The parties hereby agree that: (i) Landlord shall be responsible for ADA Title III compliance in the Common Areas of the Building (unless any alterations or improvements to the Common Areas are required as a result of Tenant's specific use of the Premises (as opposed to the mere use for the Use) or any alterations or improvements made by Tenant, in which case any required alterations or improvements to the Common Areas shall be made at Tenant's sole cost and expense), and (ii) Tenant shall be responsible for ADA Title III compliance in the Premises pertaining to Tenant's particular use (as oppose to the mere use for the Use), and including any leasehold improvements or other work to be performed in the Premises under or in connection with this Lease. Tenant shall be solely responsible for requirements under Title I of the ADA relating to Tenant's employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.**<u>SURRENDER OF PREMISES</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Surrender</u>**. Upon the expiration of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise or upon the earlier termination of Tenant's right of possession, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises, including the generator, to Landlord and deliver all keys, computer cards or codes and other entry devices to the Premises to Landlord and make known to Landlord the combinations of all locks of vaults then remaining in the Premises, and shall, subject to the following subparagraphs, return the Premises and all equipment and fixtures of Landlord therein to Landlord in as good condition as when Tenant originally took possession, except for ordinary wear and tear and items which are at the end of their useful life, and except for loss or damage by fire or other casualty or condemnation (to the extent Tenant is not required to restore pursuant to Section 17 of this Lease), failing which Landlord may restore the Premises and such equipment and fixtures to such condition, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof to Landlord within thirty (30) days following written demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall be permitted to surrender the Premises with any improvements and alterations in place as of the Effective Date, or which are to be performed to separate the Premises from the balance of the Building, including, without limitation, any stairwells and accessways within the interior of the Premises. Additionally, the generator shall be surrendered "as is" and Tenant shall have no obligation to place the generator in working order, or otherwise perform any repair or replacement to the generator (including its component parts) at the end of the Term.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ownership of Improvements</u>**. All installations, additions, partitions, hardware, fixtures and improvements, temporary or permanent (including Tenant Alterations), except movable furniture and equipment and other personal property or trade fixtures belonging to Tenant, in or upon the Premises, whether placed there by Tenant or Landlord, shall, upon the expiration or termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise or upon the earlier termination of Tenant's right of possession, become Landlord's property and shall remain upon the Premises, all without compensation, allowance, or credit to Tenant. Further, Tenant shall not be required to close any staircases, slides, or other openings/connections between floors within the Premises which are in place as of the Commencement Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Removal of Personal Property</u>**. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise or upon the earlier termination of Tenant's right of possession, Tenant shall remove from the Premises Tenant's furniture, machinery, safes and other items of movable personal property of every kind and description and Tenant's trade fixtures, and Tenant shall restore any damage to the Premises or the Project caused thereby, failing which Landlord may do so and thereupon the provisions of Section 19(b)(iv) shall apply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon at least sixty (60) prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant may have a period of up to thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date (or earlier termination of the Term) to remove its trade fixtures and equipment from the Data Center, at the then applicable Rent for the Premises (and if such period shall extend beyond thirty (30) days at the holdover rate), provided, however, Tenant shall be responsible to maintain the insurance coverage required under this Lease during the Data Center removal period and comply with all other obligations under the Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Survival</u>**. Without limitation of any other obligations of Tenant which shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease, all obligations of Tenant under this Section 10 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.<u>HOLDING OVER</u>**. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration or termination of the Lease by lapse of time or otherwise or after the earlier termination of Tenant's right of possession, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Rent during such holdover period an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Rent on a per diem basis, plus Additional Rent at the standard rates set forth in this Lease. No occupancy by Tenant after the expiration or other termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Term. The provisions of this Section 11 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies of Landlord as provided herein or at law or equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.<u>RULES AND REGULATIONS</u>**. Tenant agrees to observe and not to interfere with the rights reserved to Landlord contained in Section 13 hereof and elsewhere in this Lease and agrees, for itself, its employees, agents, invitees, licensees and contractors, to accept and comply with the rules and regulations set forth in <u>Exhibit D</u> attached to this Lease, and elsewhere in this Lease, and such other rules and regulations as may be adopted from time to time by Landlord pursuant to Section 13(o). The rules and regulations in <u>Exhibit D</u> and all other rules and regulations made in accordance with this Lease are intended and shall be construed to supplement and not limit or restrict in any way any of Landlord's rights or Tenant's obligations contained in Section 13 or any other Section of this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce any of said rules and regulations or the terms, covenants or conditions of any other lease against any other tenant or any other person. Whenever the provisions of <u>Exhibit D</u> provide that Landlord's consent is required, Landlord agrees that Landlord's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.<u>RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD</u>**. Landlord reserves and shall have the following rights, each of which shall, unless expressly provided otherwise (including, without limitation, in Section 9(c) of this Lease), be exercisable without notice and without liability of Landlord, its constituent members, or any of their respective agents, partners or employees, to Tenant for damage or

------

injury to property, person or business or for loss or interruption of business, or for any other matter, and without effecting an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession, in whole or in part, actual or constructive, or giving rise or entitling Tenant to any claim for set-off, abatement or reduction of Rent or relieving Tenant from the performance of or affecting any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To grant to anyone the right to conduct any business or render any service in any part of the Project, subject to the provisions of this Lease regarding access to the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With the exception of the Tenant's Data Center, which shall be governed by Section 43, to enter the Premises for supplying services to be provided to Tenant hereunder, or in the exercise of Landlord's rights hereunder, and upon reasonable prior notice (except for routine services to be performed by Landlord hereunder, or where this Lease otherwise permits entry without notice or in the event of an emergency, in which case immediate entry shall be permitted) for other reasonable purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To require all persons entering or leaving the Project or any part thereof during such hours as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine to identify themselves to security personnel by registration or otherwise and to establish their right to enter or leave in accordance with Landlord's security controls. Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any error with respect to admission to or eviction or exclusion from the Project or any part thereof of any person. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in case of fire, casualty, invasion, insurrection, mob, riot, act of terrorism, act(s) of god, declared state of emergency, civil disorder, public excitement or other commotion, or threat thereof, Landlord reserves the right to limit or prevent access to the Project or any part thereof during the continuance of the same, halt elevator service, activate elevator emergency controls, or otherwise take such action or preventive measures reasonably deemed necessary by Landlord for the safety or security of the tenants or other occupants of the Project or the protection of the Project and the property in or about the Project, subject, however, to Section 42 regarding Tenant access. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any reasonable safety or security program developed by Landlord from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To control, restrict and prevent access to any areas of the Project, provided that reasonable access to the Premises shall be maintained.

In that regard, Landlord

------

may erect scaffolding and other structures reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, and during such operations to enter upon the Premises upon and subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 9(c) and take into and upon or through any part of the Project, including the Premises (other than the Data Center, except as set forth herein), all materials that may be required to do such work or make such decorations, repairs, alterations, improvements or additions, and in connection with any of the foregoing, to close public entryways, other public spaces, stairways or corridors and interrupt or temporarily suspend any services or facilities agreed to be furnished by Landlord. Landlord may, at its option, do any such work and make any such decorations, repairs, alterations, improvements and additions in and about the Project and the Premises (other than the Data Center except as set forth herein) during ordinary business hours and, if Tenant desires to have the same done during other than ordinary business hours, Tenant shall pay all overtime and additional expenses resulting therefrom.

Tenant shall not install or operate machinery or any mechanical devices of a nature not directly related to Tenant's ordinary use of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To show the Premises (with the exception of the Data Center which shall be controlled by Section 42) to prospective tenants at reasonable hours during the last twelve (12) months of the Term or to prospective mortgagees, ground lessors or purchasers of the Land or Building or both at any time and, if vacated or abandoned, to show the Premises to prospective tenants at any time and to demolish, alter, remodel or otherwise prepare the Premise for re-occupancy. The Premises shall not be deemed vacated or abandoned for so long as Tenant is operating the Data Center from the Premises. Tenant shall have the right to have a representative present during any entry into the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To erect, use and maintain concealed pipes, ducts, wiring and conduits, and appurtenances thereto, in and through the Premises, in walls, below the floor and above the suspended ceiling, subject to the provisions of Section 9(c) and Section 42.

If any rules and regulations conflict with any rights expressly granted to Tenant under the terms and provisions of this Lease, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall control. In no event shall newly instituted rules and regulations materially and adversely diminish Tenant's rights under this Lease or materially increase Tenant's obligations. Landlord shall not apply rules and regulations disproportionately among the occupants of the Project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To designate and/or approve, prior to installation, all types of window shades, blinds,

------

drapes, awnings or other similar items, and all internal lighting that may be visible from the exterior of the Premises, provided, however, any replacements of the foregoing which are in-place as of the Commencement Date, including the installation of new items which are substantially similar to the in-place installations, shall not require any Landlord approval.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.**<u>ALTERATIONS</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Consent; Conditions</u>**. Tenant shall not perform any Tenant Alterations without first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limitation of the foregoing, Landlord may impose reasonable conditions with respect to Tenant Alterations as Landlord deems appropriate, including, without limitation, requiring Tenant to furnish to Landlord for its approval prior to commencement of any work or entry by Tenant's contractors into the Premises or the Building, insurance against liabilities which may arise out of the Tenant Alterations, and plans and specifications and permits necessary for the Tenant Alterations; provided Landlord agrees that no bond for any Tenant Alterations shall be required so long as Tenant is Commvault Systems, Inc. or any Permitted Transferee (as defined below). All Tenant Alterations and other work shall be subject to the terms of the Work Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Minor Alterations without Landlord's prior consent, provided Tenant complies with Laws in its performance of the Minor Alterations. Landlord may require Tenant to restore any Tenant Alteration to the condition of the Premises as of the Commencement Date only in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(c) of the Work Letter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contractors</u>**. Tenant Alterations shall be done at Tenant's expense by agents or contractors hired by Tenant who are reasonably acceptable to Landlord and whose work will not cause or threaten to cause disharmony or interference with Landlord or other tenants, contractors or service providers at the Building, or at Landlord's election (except in connection with any Tenant Alterations to the Data Center which require specialty vendors specific to the operation and maintenance of the Data Center), by contractors designated by Landlord, provided that such contractors prices are competitive for similar work in the marketplace. Before employing any such contractors, Tenant shall submit to Landlord the names and addresses of such contractors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Costs; Mechanic Liens</u>**. Tenant shall promptly pay the cost, when due, of all Tenant Alterations. In addition to the cost of such Tenant Alterations, if any such Tenant Alterations are not Minor Alterations, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord or to Landlord's property manager or other designated agents, as Landlord shall direct, an amount equal to up to four percent (4%) (3% oversight plus professional review fees up to 1%) of all of hard costs of all such Tenant Alterations, as a coordination and management fee allocable to the Tenant Alterations. The foregoing coordination and management fee shall not be applicable or payable by Tenant for any Minor Alterations or the Tenant's Work performed prior to the Commencement Date. Upon completion of any Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, if payment is made directly to contractors, evidence of payment, contractors' affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services and materials sufficient to waive all rights to liens under the New Jersey Mechanic's Lien law arising from the work done. Tenant shall not permit any lien or claim for lien of any mechanic, labor or supplier or any other lien to be filed against the Building, the Land or the Premises or any part thereof, arising out of any Tenant Alterations or other work performed or alleged to be performed, by or at the direction of Tenant other than by Landlord. If any such lien or claim for lien is filed, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of such lien or claim, (i) have such lien or claim for lien released of record, or (ii) deliver to Landlord a bond or other security in form, content, and amount satisfactory to Landlord relative to such lien or claim for lien (whereupon, in the case of this subclause (ii), Tenant shall thereafter diligently contest such lien or claim for lien). Without limitation of the foregoing, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and the Landlord Parties from and against any such lien or claim for lien, and the foreclosure or attempted foreclosure thereof, and Tenant

------

shall cause any such lien to be released of record, in any event, prior to final enforcement thereof. If Tenant fails to take the actions described in subclause (i) or subclause (ii) above, then Landlord or Landlord's property manager, without investigating the validity of such lien or claim for lien, may pay or discharge the same, and Tenant shall, as payment required therefor hereunder, reimburse Landlord or Landlord's property manager within thirty (30) days of written demand for the payment so made by Landlord or Landlord's property manager, including Landlord's or Landlord's property manager's reasonable expenses and attorneys' fees related thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>General</u>**. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord and hold Landlord and the other Landlord Parties, harmless of, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, liens, costs and expenses, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, caused by Tenant Alterations. All Tenant Alterations done by Tenant or its contractors, including work done pursuant to Section 9, shall be performed in a first-class, workmanlike manner using only good grades of materials and shall comply with all insurance requirements of Landlord and all Laws. Within thirty (30) days after substantial completion of any Tenant Alterations by or on behalf of Tenant, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, in electronic form, "as built" drawings of such Tenant Alterations to the extent such drawings are customarily prepared for alterations of the nature of the applicable Tenant Alterations. All Tenant Alterations shall be performed in accordance with Landlord's Construction Rules (as defined in the Work Letter). In no event shall any supervision or right to supervise by Landlord, nor shall any approvals given by Landlord hereunder, constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design, workmanship or quality of the Tenant Alterations, or impose any liability upon Landlord in connection with the performance of such work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to make Tenant Alterations which qualify as Minor Alterations without the consent of Landlord.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.**<u>ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Prohibitions</u>**. Tenant shall not (w) assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or subject, or permit to exist upon or be subjected to any lien or charge, this Lease or any interest under it, (x) allow to exist or occur any transfer of or lien upon this Lease or Tenant's interest herein by operation of law, (y) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or (z) permit the use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof for any purpose not provided for under Section 6 of this Lease or by anyone other than Tenant and Tenant's employees, guests and invitees, without, in each case, first obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, which shall be in Landlord's reasonable discretion. In the event that Tenant shall desire to assign this Lease or sublease the Premises, Tenant shall submit in writing a notice, which shall include the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant, a true and complete copy of the proposed assignment or sublease and sufficient information, as Landlord deems reasonably necessary, to permit Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character and the nature of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant. Landlord shall endeavor to provide a consent or denial of consent within fourteen (14) days of receipt of written request from Tenant, and if Landlord does not provide a response, Tenant may submit a follow up request which Landlord shall respond to within seven (7) days of Tenant's delivery of the same, provided under no circumstance shall Landlord's failure to respond result in any deemed consent. In no event shall this Lease be assigned or assignable by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, except as provided by law, and in no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings, except as provided by law. Any of the foregoing performed or attempted in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord's consent shall not be required in the event of any assignment of this Lease or sublet of all or any portion of the Premises by Tenant pursuant to any of the following (each, a "**Permitted**

------

**Transfer**"), and no profit sharing, or termination right shall be triggered by the transfer of ownership or controlling interest in Tenant to any entity (A) which is an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of Tenant; (B) into or with which Tenant or Tenant's parent company is merged or consolidated; (C) which acquires a non-controlling interest in Tenant or Tenant's parent company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant's shares, membership interests or partnership interests; or (E) which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant's or Tenant's parent company's assets by purchase, merger or other means, (each of the parties described in clauses (A) through

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;above shall be referred to herein as a "**Permitted Transferee**"), provided (x) Tenant gives reasonable prior notice to Landlord of the assignment, sublet or transfer of control, or in the event advance notice is not permitted by Law or any confidentiality requirement, as soon as is reasonably possible after the effective date of the Permitted Transfer; (y) if an assignment, such assignee assumes the obligations of Tenant under this lease; and (z) in connection with an assignment of this Lease, the assignee has a net worth of not less than the net worth of the original named Tenant as of the day immediately prior to the date of this Lease and the assignee is otherwise sufficiently financially responsible to perform its obligations under this Lease. If permitted by Laws or such applicable transaction agreement, Tenant must notify Landlord at least ten (10) days in advance of any transaction with a Permitted Transferee and provide the appropriate documentation setting forth the nature of the transaction or any such further information or documentation reasonably requested by the Landlord, provided if such transaction documentation includes confidential terms prohibiting the foregoing notice, Tenant shall deliver notice to Landlord as soon as reasonably practicable following such transaction. An "**Affiliate**" is an entity controlled by Tenant, which controls Tenant, or is under common control with Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent to a

proposed assignment of this Lease or to a proposed sublease of part or all of the Premises if its consent is withheld because: (A) Tenant is then in Default under this Lease; (B) any notice of termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant's right of possession has been given under Section 19; (C) either the portion of the Premises which Tenant proposes to sublease, or the remaining portion of the Premises, or the means of ingress or egress to either the portion of the Premises which Tenant proposes to sublease or the remaining portion of the Premises is of (I) such nature that it will violate any applicable Law, or (II) such accessibility, size or irregular shape so as not to be suitable for normal renting purposes as space on a multi-tenant floor within the Building; (D) the proposed use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant does not conform with the use set forth in Section 6 hereof, or will violate any applicable Law, will impose any obligation upon Landlord in excess of Landlord's obligations under this Lease or increase Landlord's obligations under or cost of compliance with any Laws, or will violate any exclusive right Landlord has granted to any tenant of any part of the Project (provided that ordinary office use shall be deemed not to violate the foregoing with respect the office portions of the Premises); (E) in the reasonable judgment of Landlord the proposed assignee or subtenant is of a character or is engaged in a business which would be deleterious to the reputation of the Project, Landlord or any of the constituent members of Landlord; (F) in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have sufficient financial worth to perform its obligations under this Lease in the event of a proposed assignment or the applicable sublease agreement in the event of a proposed sublease, or such proposed assignee's or subtenant's creditworthiness or financial standing is less than that of Tenant; (G) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a government (or subdivision or agency thereof); or (H) the proposed assignee or subtenant is an occupant (or affiliate thereof) of the Building or is a person or entity (or affiliate thereof) Landlord is then dealing with or has dealt with during the prior twelve (12) months with regard to leasing of space in the Building; provided, however, that the foregoing are merely examples of reasons for which Landlord may withhold its consent and shall not be deemed exclusive of any permitted reasons for reasonably withholding consent, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing

------

examples, and Landlord may consider all relevant factors in determining whether to give or withhold its consent. Tenant agrees that all advertising (except with respect to the rental rate) by Tenant or on Tenant's behalf with respect to the assignment of this Lease or subletting of any part of the Premises must be approved in writing by Landlord prior to publication.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Tenant (as Tenant or debtor-in-possession) shall assign this Lease or sublet the

Premises, or any part thereof, at a rental or for other consideration in excess of the Rent or pro rata portion thereof due and payable by Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent fifty percent (50%) of any such excess rent or other consideration immediately upon receipt under any such assignment or, in the case of a sublease, (A) on the later of the first day of each month during the term of any sublease, or the day of receipt from such subtenant, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of all rent and other consideration paid by the subtenant for such month over the Rent then payable to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease for said month (or if only a portion of the Premises is being sublet, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of all rent and other consideration due from the subtenant for such month over the portion of the Rent then payable to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease for said month which is allocable on a Rentable Area basis to the space sublet), and (B) immediately upon the receipt thereof, fifty percent (50%) of any and all other consideration realized by Tenant from such subletting. Landlord shall not be responsible for any deficiency if Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof at a rental less than that provided for herein. This subsection (iii) shall not apply in the event of a Permitted Transfer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Continuing Liability</u>**.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No assignment, subletting, use, occupancy, transfer or

encumbrance by Tenant shall operate to relieve Tenant from any covenant, liability or obligation under this Lease except to the extent, if any, expressly provided for in any such written consent of Landlord to the foregoing, and none of the foregoing, and no consent to any of the foregoing, shall be deemed to be a consent to or relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlord's consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, use, occupancy, transfer or encumbrance. Tenant shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, charges and expenses incurred by Landlord or Landlord's property manager, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, in connection with any assignment, subletting, use, occupancy, transfer or encumbrance made or requested by Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.**<u>WAIVER OF CERTAIN CLAIMS, INDEMNITY</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;General Waiver</u>**. In addition to and without limiting or being limited by any other releases or waivers of claims in this Lease, but rather in confirmation and furtherance thereof, to the extent not prohibited by law, Landlord and Tenant each releases and waives any and all claims for, and rights to recover, damages against and from the other, and the other's respective agents, members, partners, shareholders, officers and employees (collectively, the "**Released Parties**"), for loss, damage or destruction to any of its property (including the Premises, the Building and their contents), the elements of which are insured against or which would have been insured against had such party suffering such loss, damage or destruction maintained the property or physical damage insurance policies required under Section 22 hereof. In no event shall this clause be deemed, construed or asserted (i) to affect or limit any claims or rights against any Released Parties other than the right to recover damages for loss, damage or destruction to property, or (ii) to benefit any third party other than the Released Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnity</u>**. Subject to the waivers and releases provided in Section 16(a), in addition to and without limiting or being limited by any other indemnity in this Lease, but rather in confirmation and furtherance thereof, to the extent not prohibited by law and except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties, and the Project, harmless of, from and against

------

any and all losses, damages, liabilities, actions, demands, claims, liens, costs and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, in connection with injury to or death of any person or with respect to damage to or theft, loss or loss of the use of any property, occurring in or about the Premises or the Project arising from Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, or the conduct of its business or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or the Project, or from any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or due to any other negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of Tenant, or any of its employees, agents, licensees, invitees or contractors. For purposes of this Lease, Tenant shall only be liable for invitees while such parties are within the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Waiver</u>**. To the extent permitted by law, and without limiting Tenant's rights in Section 42, Tenant releases Landlord and the Landlord Parties from, and waives all claims for, damage or injury to person or property sustained by the Tenant resulting from any accident in or about the Project or any occupant of the Building or Premises resulting directly or indirectly from any existing or future condition, defect, matter or thing in and about the Project or the Premises or any part of either or any equipment or appurtenance therein, or resulting directly or indirectly from any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Building or of any other person, except where resulting from the neglect or willful act of Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives any consequential damages, compensation or claims for inconvenience or loss of business, rents, or profits as a result of any injury or damage occurring at or about the Building or this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord's Negligence</u>**. No agreement of Tenant in this Lease shall be deemed to exempt Landlord from liability or damages for injury to persons caused by or resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees, in the operation or maintenance of the Premises or Building.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.**<u>DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION BY CASUALTY</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Termination of Lease; Repair by Landlord</u>**. If the Premises or the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty, and if such damage does not render all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable (as hereinafter defined) (including Tenant being unable to access the Premises), then Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and restore the core and shell of the Building and the Premises so as to render the Premises tenantable, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and delays caused by matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and also subject to zoning laws and building codes then in effect. If any such damage renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, Landlord shall, with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage, estimate the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the repair and restoration of the core and shell of the Building and the Premises, as the case may be, necessitated by such damage and shall by notice advise Tenant of such estimate. If it is so estimated that the amount of time required to substantially complete such repair and restoration will exceed two hundred seventy (270) days from the date such damage occurred, then either Landlord or Tenant (but Tenant shall have such right only if the damage was not caused by the neglect or willful act of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, or invitees, and only if all or a substantial portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable) shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of notice of such election by giving notice to the other at any time within twenty (20) days after Landlord gives Tenant the notice containing said estimate (it being understood that Landlord may, if it elects to do so, also give such notice of termination together with the notice containing said estimate), provided Landlord agrees that it shall not terminate this Lease if there is no damage to the Premises unless it is terminating similarly situated office leases in the Building. Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding sentence, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and restore the core and shell of the Building or the Premises so as to render the

------

Premises tenantable, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and delays caused by matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and also subject to zoning laws and building codes then in effect. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease (except as hereinafter provided) if such repairs and restoration are not in fact completed within the time period estimated by Landlord, as aforesaid, or within said two hundred seventy (270) days. However, if such repairs and restoration are not completed by a date ("**Outside Date**") which is twelve (12) months after the date of such fire or other casualty (or ninety-five (95) days after the expiration of the time period estimated by Landlord as aforesaid), if longer than two hundred seventy (270) days and neither party terminated this Lease as permitted), which Outside Date shall be extended (as to Tenant's ability to terminate only) by all periods of delay attributable to the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees or contractors for any reason whatsoever, then either party may terminate this Lease, effective as of the date of notice of such election, by giving written notice to the other party within the thirty (30) day period after said Outside Date as extended as aforesaid, but prior to substantial completion of repair or restoration (but Tenant shall again have such right only if the damage was not caused by the neglect or willful act of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, or invitees, and only if all or a substantial portion of the Premises was rendered untenantable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Landlord shall have no duty pursuant to this Section 17 to repair or restore any portion of Tenant's Alterations or any other improvements, additions or alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant in the Premises, including improvements performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease (if any). Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein; (i) Landlord shall not be obligated (but may, at its option, so elect) to repair or restore the Premises or Building if the damage is due to an uninsurable casualty or if insurance proceeds are insufficient to pay for such repair or restoration, or if any Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined) applies proceeds of insurance to reduce its loan balance, and the remaining proceeds, if any, available to Landlord are not sufficient to pay for such repair or restoration, and if in such event Landlord notifies Tenant that it will not repair or restore the Premises or the Building, or (ii) if any such damage rendering all or substantial portion of the Premises or Building untenantable shall occur during the last year of the Term; in the case of (i) or (ii) either party (but (x) as to Tenant's right, only if all or a substantial portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable, and only if such damage was not caused by the neglect or willful act of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and (y) as to Landlord's right, if the Premises shall not have been damaged, only if Landlord is also terminating similarly situated office leases in the Building) shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant has received such notice form Landlord as to (i) or thirty (30) days after the date such damage occurred as to (ii), and if such option is so exercised, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice. For purposes hereof, "substantial portion" means at least fifteen percent (15%) of the Premises, or any portion of the Data Center that renders Tenant's ability to operate its business from the Premises impractical.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Repair by Tenant</u>**. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to this Section 17, Tenant shall, in accordance with Section 14, proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and restore all Tenant's Alterations and all other alterations, additions and improvements in the Premises, other than any repairs or restoration required to be made by Landlord pursuant to Section 17(a) above, to as near the condition which existed prior to the fire or other casualty as is reasonably possible. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to the proceeds of any insurance coverage carried by Tenant relating to improvements and betterments to the Premises, to the extent Landlord is obligated under this Section 17 to repair or restore damage to those items covered by such insurance or if this Lease terminates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Untenantability</u>**. As used in this Lease, the term "**untenantable**" means reasonably incapable of being occupied for its intended use due to damage to the Premises or Building. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Section 17, neither the Premises nor any portion of the Premises shall be deemed untenantable if Landlord is not required to repair or restore same (or if Landlord is required to repair or restore same, then following such time as Landlord has substantially

------

completed the repair and restoration work required to be performed by Landlord under this Section 17), or if Tenant continues to actually occupy the subject portion of the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Core and Shell</u>**. The term "**core and shell**" shall include all base Building improvements at the Building or within the Premises (as the case may be), but specifically excludes any work related to tenant improvements constructed or to be constructed by or for Tenant or other tenants or installed within the Premises or within any other tenant's premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.**<u>EMINENT DOMAIN</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Substantial Taking</u>**. If the entire Project or the entire Building, or a substantial part of either of them, or any part of the Project which includes all or a substantial part of the Premises, shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, the Term of this Lease shall end upon and not before the earlier of the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for such use or purpose or the effective date of the taking. If any condemnation proceeding shall be instituted in which it is sought to take or damage any part of the Project, the taking or damaging of which would, in Landlord's opinion, prevent the economical operation of the Project, or if the grade of any street or alley adjacent to the Land or the Building is changed or any such street or alley is closed by any competent authority, and such taking, damage, change of grade or closing makes it necessary or desirable to remodel the Building to conform to the taking, damage, change of grade or closing, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant given not less than ninety (90) days prior to the date of termination designated in the notice. If any of the events described herein occurs, Rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and be payable to the date of the termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Taking of Part</u>**. In the event a part of the Building or the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority and this Lease is not terminated as provided in Section 18(a) above, the lease shall be amended to reduce or increase, as the case may be, the Monthly Rent to reflect the square footage of the Premises or Rentable Area of the Building, as the case may be, remaining after any such taking or condemnation. Landlord, upon receipt and to the extent of the award in condemnation (or proceeds of sale), shall make necessary repairs and restorations to the Premises (exclusive of any Tenant's Alterations, or any other improvements made by or on behalf of Landlord or Tenant) and to the Building to the extent necessary to constitute the portion of the Building not so taken or condemned as a complete architectural and economically efficient unit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Compensation</u>**. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award (or sale proceeds) from any such taking, condemnation or sale without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant's interest, if any, in such award; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right separately to pursue against the condemning authority a separate award in respect of the loss, if any, to Tenant Alterations paid for by Tenant without any credit or allowance from Landlord, so long as there is no diminution of Landlord's award as a result, and subject to the rights of any ground lessor or mortgagee of Landlord with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.**<u>DEFAULT; LANDLORD'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Default</u>**. The occurrence of any one or more of the following matters constitutes a "**Default**" by Tenant under this Lease:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any money required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease when due, if such failure continues for five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from Landlord that such payment is past-due (provided notice shall not be required to be provided more than two times in a calendar year, and such default shall be from five (5)

------

business days beyond the date due);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants in respect of assignment and subletting set forth in Section 15; provided Tenant shall have ten (10) days to cure defaults related to notice to Landlord or such other procedural matter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Failure by Tenant to promptly commence and diligently pursue to completion cure after receipt of notice from Landlord, any hazardous condition which Tenant has created or permitted in violation of applicable Law or of this Lease;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Failure by Tenant to complete, execute and deliver any instrument or document required to be completed, executed and delivered by Tenant pursuant to Section 20 or Section 24 of this Lease, within the time required therefor in accordance with such Sections;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this Lease, if such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for the time reasonably required to complete such cure (not to exceed, in any event, an additional thirty (30) day period) if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period and Tenant commences to cure such failure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously proceeds to cure such failure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The levy upon execution or the attachment by legal process of the leasehold interest of Tenant, or the filing or creation of a lien in respect of such leasehold interest, which lien shall not be released or discharged within twenty (20) days from the date of such filing (but without limiting Tenant's rights to remove or to bond over or provide other security with respect to mechanic's liens, as expressly provided in Section 14(c) above);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant vacates the Premises while failing to pay Rent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or applies for or consents to the appointment of a trustee or receiver for Tenant or for the major part of its property;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A trustee or receiver is appointed for Tenant or for a major part of its property, without Tenant's application therefor or consent thereto, and is not discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding for relief under any bankruptcy law or similar law for the relief of debtors, is instituted (A) by Tenant, or (B) against Tenant and is allowed against it or is consented to by it or is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant breaches any of the warranties or covenants contained in Section 28(v) (Anti-Money Laundering/International Trade Law Compliance) of this Lease, or if any of the representations contained in such section are false.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Landlord's Rights and Remedies</u>**. If a Default occurs, Landlord shall have the rights and remedies hereinafter set forth, which shall be distinct, separate and cumulative and shall not operate to exclude or deprive Landlord of any other right or remedy allowed it at law or in equity:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, declare this Lease terminated and the Term ended, in which event, this Lease and the Term will cease and terminate, but Tenant will remain liable for all obligations then existing and arising during the balance of the Term as if this Lease had remained in full force and effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord may terminate the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, whereupon the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises or any part thereof shall cease on the date stated in such notice, and/or Landlord may, without further notice, re-enter the Premises and dispossess, by summary proceedings or otherwise, Tenant and all other occupants of the Premises and remove their effects and Tenant will have no further claims or rights under this Lease. No re-entry, commencement of any action for re-entry or recovery of possession will be construed as an election to terminate this Lease and will not absolve or release Tenant from any of its obligations then existing or for the remainder of the Term. All property removed from the Premises may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and risk of Tenant, and without Landlord being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord may terminate and/or remove any Tenant signage installed, or rights of Tenant to signage at the Premises, Building and/or Project without terminating this Lease, whereupon the right(s) of Tenant to signage at the Premises, Building and/or Project or any part thereof shall cease on the date stated in such notice and Landlord may remove any Tenant signage installed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord may enforce the provisions of this Lease and may enforce and protect the rights of Landlord hereunder by a suit or suits in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, and for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, including, without limitation, distraint for rent, injunctive relief, recovery of all money due or to become due from Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease and recovery of damages incurred by Landlord by reason of the Default; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord may cure or correct such Default (or cause such cure or correction to occur) or take steps to perform (or cause to be performed) any covenant, agreement, condition or provisions of this Lease, and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, or Landlord's property manager or other designated representative, in so doing (including reasonable attorneys' fees), shall be paid by Tenant to such party upon demand. Landlord's proceeding under the rights reserved to Landlord under this Section 19(b)(iv) shall not in any way prejudice or waive any rights as Landlord might otherwise have against Tenant by reason of that or any other Default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Surrender</u>**. If Landlord exercises any of the remedies provided for in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of Section 19(b), subject to Landlord's compliance with Laws, Tenant shall surrender possession of and vacate the Premises and immediately deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and Landlord may re-enter and take complete and peaceful possession of the Premises, with (if Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises) process of law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Termination of Right of Possession</u>**. If Landlord terminates the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, as provided for by subparagraph (ii) of Section 19(b), then Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all the fixed dollar amounts of Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including such termination date, as well as all other additional sums payable by Tenant, or for which Tenant is liable or in respect of which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease, which may be then owing and unpaid , and all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses

------

incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder, and in addition, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant from time to time, and Tenant shall remain liable for, all Rent and all other additional sums thereafter accruing as they become due under this Lease during the period from the date of such notice of termination of possession to the stated end of the Term. In any such case, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts as required by applicable Law to relet the Premises for the account of Tenant for such rent, for such time (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term of this Lease), in such portions and upon such terms as Landlord in Landlord's sole, yet reasonable, discretion shall determine, and Landlord shall not be required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant or to observe any instructions given by Tenant relative to such reletting. Landlord may give priority over leasing the Premises to any other space Landlord desires to lease in the Building and shall not be required in any case to offer rent, length of terms or other terms for the Premises which are or would be less favorable to Landlord than being offered for comparable space of Landlord in the Building. Also, in any such case, Landlord may make (or cause to be made) repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises and redecorate (or cause to be redecorated) the same to the extent deemed by Landlord reasonably necessary or desirable, and in connection therewith Landlord may change (or cause to be changed) the locks to the Premises, and Tenant shall upon written demand pay the cost thereof together with the reasonable and customary expenses of reletting incurred by Landlord, its property manager or other designated agent. Landlord may collect the rents from any such reletting and shall apply the same first to the payment of the expenses of reentry, redecoration, repair, alterations and reletting and second to the payment of Rent herein provided to be paid by Tenant, and any excess or residue shall operate only as an offsetting credit against the amount of Rent, if any, due and owing or as the same thereafter becomes due and payable hereunder, but the use of such offsetting credit to reduce the amount of Rent due Landlord, if any, shall not be deemed to give Tenant any right, title or interest in or to such excess or residue, and any such excess or residue shall belong to Landlord solely; provided that in no event shall Tenant be entitled to such a credit against Rent in excess of the aggregate sum (including Monthly Rent and Additional Rent) which would have been paid by Tenant for the period for which the credit to Tenant is being determined had no Default occurred. No such re-entry, repossession, repairs, alterations, additions or reletting shall be construed as an eviction or ouster of Tenant or as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant, or shall operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, and Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, sue and recover judgment for any deficiencies from time to time remaining after the application from time to time of the proceeds of any such reletting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Termination of Lease</u>**. In the event of the termination of this Lease by Landlord as provided for by subparagraph (i) of Section 19(b), Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all the fixed dollar amounts of Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including such termination date , as well as all other additional sums payable by Tenant, or for which Tenant is liable or in respect of which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease, which may be then owing and unpaid, and all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder, and in addition, Landlord shall be entitled to recover an amount equal to the present value (calculated using a discount rate equal to six percent (6%) per annum) of the aggregate Monthly Rent and Additional Rent payable for the period from the termination date stated in Landlord's notice terminating this Lease until the date which would have been the Expiration Date but for such termination, less the present value (calculated using a discount rate equal to six percent (6%) per annum) of the fair rental value of the Premises for the same period (which fair rental value shall be calculated so as to include a reasonable vacancy period for reletting the Premises and deductions for reasonable expenses and inducements incurred by Landlord to achieve such reletting, including without limitation attorneys' fees and expenses, brokerage fees, advertising costs, rent abatements, tenant improvement allowances and the like).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u>**Any damage or loss of rent sustained by Landlord may be recovered by Landlord, at Landlord's option, at any time and from time to time, including at the time of the reletting or termination,

------

or in a single action or in separate actions, from time to time, as such loss of rents or damages accrues (Tenant hereby agreeing that any suit brought by Landlord at any one time to collect such rents or damages will not prejudice Landlord's right to collect any other rents or damages in subsequent separate actions from time to time). In addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease, upon and following a Default, Tenant will pay to Landlord, at any time and from time to time upon demand, any and all actual reasonable costs whatsoever (including actual reasonable attorneys' fees, litigation expenses and court costs) incurred by Landlord in connection with the enforcement of this Lease and of Landlord's rights and remedies (and regardless of whether any lawsuit, action or other proceeding is commenced).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant's Property</u>**. In the event Tenant has not removed Tenant's Personalty (as hereinafter defined) on or before the Expiration Date or earlier termination date, Tenant shall be provided at least thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to remove Tenant's Personalty from the Premises. All of Tenant's Personalty required to be removed by Tenant at the end of the Term which remains on the Premises after the expiration of the time period provided in Landlord's written notice shall be deemed abandoned and may, at the election of Landlord, either be retained as Landlord's property or may be removed from the Premises by Landlord at Tenant's expense.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord claims no interest in or lien upon any of the Tenant's equipment comprising of servers, stacks and other data handling and storage equipment within the Data Center (collectively, the "**Tenant's Personalty**"), whether arising under the Lease, provided by applicable Laws or otherwise, and agrees not to assert any statutory or possessory liens or right of levy, distraint or execution against Tenant's Personalty for Rent or other sums due, or to become due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bankruptcy Acceptance or Rejection</u>**. If Landlord shall not be permitted to terminate this Lease or Tenant's right of possession of the Premises under the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant on behalf of itself as a tenant-in-possession or on behalf of any bankruptcy trustee for Tenant (alternatively referred to as "**Tenant**" in this Section 19(g)) agrees, within sixty (60) days after request by Landlord to the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over Tenant's bankrupt estate (the "**Bankruptcy Court**") or such longer period of time provided under the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court, to assume or reject this Lease.

Tenant's right to assume this Lease as aforesaid shall be expressly conditioned upon Tenant fully satisfying the requirements under Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, as such Section may be amended from time to time. In no event after such assumption of this Lease shall any then-existing Default remain uncured for a period in excess of the earlier of ten (10) days or the time period for curing the underlying default as set forth herein. Failure to cure such default within such time shall constitute a Default hereunder.

Landlord and Tenant agree that adequate assurance of performance of this Lease, as set forth in Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, as such Section may be amended from time to time, with respect to any monetary Default under this Lease, shall be in the form of cash or immediately available funds in an amount equal to at least the amount of such monetary Default so as to assure the Landlord that it will realize the amount of such Default.

If Tenant assumes this Lease and proposes to assign this Lease pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to any person or entity who shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this Lease, then notice of such proposed assignment, setting forth (i) the name and address of such person or entity, (ii) all of the terms and conditions of such offer, and (iii) the adequate assurance to be provided Landlord to assure such person's or entity's future performance under this Lease, shall be given to Landlord by Tenant within twenty (20) days after receipt of such offer by Tenant and in no event later than ten (10) days prior to the date that Tenant shall make application to the Bankruptcy Court for authority and approval

------

to enter into such assumption and assignment. In addition, Landlord shall thereupon have the right of first refusal, to be exercised by notice to Tenant given within ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such proposed assignment, to accept an assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such person or entity, less any brokerage commissions which may be payable out of any consideration to be paid by such person or entity for the assignment of this Lease.

Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed, without further act or deed, to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of such assignment; provided, however, that any options to renew or extend the Term of this Lease, and any right of offer or refusal or other options or rights to lease additional space in the Building shall be terminated effective as of the date on which such petition was filed with the Bankruptcy Court. Any such assignee shall upon demand execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption of this Lease on such terms. Nothing contained in this Section shall, in any way, constitute a waiver of any provisions of this Lease relating to assignment or subletting.

All monies or other considerations payable by Tenant or otherwise to be delivered to or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as Rent hereunder, shall constitute rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, as such Section may be amended from time to time, and be the sole property of Landlord.

From and after the date of the filing of any petition with the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any services or utilities to the Premises as herein required, unless and until Tenant shall have paid and be current in all payments or other charges therefor. Such payments and charges shall constitute administrative charges or expenses under Section 507(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, as such Section may be amended from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INTENTIONALLY OMITTED</u>.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY</u>**. LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY DO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT'S USE OF OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE AND ANY EMERGENCY STATUTORY OR ANY OTHER STATUTORY REMEDY. IF LANDLORD COMMENCES ANY SUMMARY PROCEEDING FOR NON-PAYMENT OF RENT, TENANT WILL NOT INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM OF WHATEVER NATURE OR DESCRIPTION IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING UNLESS SUCH COUNTERCLAIM IS A COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM WHICH TENANT WOULD LOSE ITS ABILITY TO RAISE IF NOT RAISED IN SUCH PROCEEDING.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u>**The rights and remedies of Landlord set forth in this Lease are in addition to every other right and remedy now or hereafter provided at law, in equity, by statute (or regulation) or otherwise, and all such rights and remedies are cumulative. No action or inaction by Landlord will constitute a waiver of a breach or Default and no waiver of a breach or Default will be effective unless it is in writing, signed by Landlord.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.**<u>RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEES AND GROUND LESSORS</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Subordination of Lease</u>**. Landlord may have heretofore or may hereafter encumber with a mortgage or trust deed the Building, the Land, the Project, any part thereof or any interest therein, may

------

sell and lease back the Land, or any part of the Project, and may encumber the leasehold estate under such a sale and leaseback arrangement with a mortgage or trust deed. (Any such mortgage or trust deed is herein called a "**Mortgage**," and the holder of any such mortgage or the beneficiary under any such trust deed is herein called a "**Mortgagee**." Any such lease of the Land or other part of the Project is herein called a "**Ground Lease**," and the lessor under any such lease is herein called a "**Ground Lessor**"). Subject to the provisions of this Section 20(a), this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall be and are hereby expressly made subject to and subordinate at all times to any Mortgage and to any Ground Lease now or hereafter existing, and to all amendments, modifications, renewals, extensions, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord such further instruments consenting to or confirming the subordination of this Lease to any Mortgage and to any Ground Lease and containing such other provisions which may be requested in writing by Landlord, in each case, that do not diminish Tenant's rights or increase Tenant's obligations under this Lease, in each case, by more than a di minimis extent, and in all events subject to any SNDA (as hereinafter defined) then in effect, within ten (10) business days after Tenant's receipt of such written request. Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a subordination and non-disturbance or recognition agreement from the holder of any proposed mortgagee of the Project containing commercially reasonable non-disturbance or recognition terms (an "**SNDA**"), which Tenant shall execute prior to the Commencement Date and Landlord shall provide a copy of the fully executed SNDA upon receipt from Mortgagee. This Lease shall not be subject or subordinate to any Mortgage or Ground Lease entered into following the Commencement Date unless Tenant shall receive an SNDA from the applicable Mortgagee or Ground Lessor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notice of and Opportunity to Cure Defaults</u>**. Tenant agrees that if Landlord defaults in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition of this Lease required to be performed or observed by Landlord hereunder, Tenant will give written notice specifying such default by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to any Mortgagee or Ground Lessor of which Tenant has been notified in writing, and before Tenant exercises any right to terminate this Lease which Tenant may have on account of any such default of Landlord, such Mortgagee or Ground Lessor shall have an additional thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof within which to cure such default (or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary to cure such default, including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the mortgaged or leased estate, if necessary to effect such cure). Such period of time shall be extended by any period within which such Mortgagee or Ground Lessor is prevented from commencing or pursuing such foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the mortgaged or leased estate by reason of Landlord's bankruptcy. The provisions of this Section 20(b) shall be subject to any SNDA then in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rights of Successors</u>**. If any Mortgage is foreclosed, or Landlord's interest under this Lease is conveyed or transferred in lieu of foreclosure, or if any Ground Lease is terminated:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No person or entity which as the result of any of the foregoing has succeeded to the interest of Landlord in this Lease (any such person or entity being hereafter called a "**Successor**") shall be liable for any default by Landlord or any other matter which occurred prior to the date such Successor succeeded to Landlord's interest in this Lease, except to the extent continuing following the date on which such Successor succeeded to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, nor shall such Successor be bound by or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have against Landlord or any other predecessor in interest to such Successor, except as expressly set forth in this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon request of any Successor, Tenant will attorn to such Successor, as Landlord under this Lease, on all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, subject to the provisions of this Section 20(c) and Section 20(e), and will execute and deliver such instruments as may be necessary

------

or appropriate to evidence such attornment provided that such instruments provide for non-disturbance for Tenant and do not diminish Tenant's rights other than to a de minimis extent or increase Tenant's monetary obligations in any manner or non-monetary obligations other than to a de minimis extent within ten (10) business days after receipt of a written request to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Successor shall be bound to recognize any prepayment of more than one month's Monthly Rent and Additional Rent, except to the extent actually received by such Successor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Successor shall be bound to recognize any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the written consent of the Mortgagee or Ground Lessor (as the case may be) to the extent such consent is required under the Mortgagee's loan documents or the Ground Lessor's lease, as applicable, provided that no consent shall be required to memorialize an option set forth in this Lease or the exercise of any termination option expressly provided for in this Lease.

The provisions of this Section 20(c) shall be subject to the provisions of any SNDA then in effect

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subordination of Mortgage</u>**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Mortgagee may subordinate, in whole or in part, its Mortgage to this Lease by sending Tenant notice in writing subordinating all or any part of such Mortgage to this Lease, and Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to such Mortgagee such further instruments consenting to or confirming the subordination of all or any portion of its Mortgage to this Lease and containing such other provisions which may be requested in writing by such Mortgagee provided that any such provisions do not diminish Tenant's rights other than to a *de minimis* extent or increase Tenant's monetary obligations in any manner or non-monetary obligations other than to a *de minimis* extent, and in all events subject to any SNDA then in effect, within ten (10) business days after Tenant's receipt of such written request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Liability of Mortgagee and Ground Lessor</u>**. Whether or not any Mortgage is foreclosed or any Ground Lease is terminated, or any Mortgagee or Ground Lessor succeeds to any interest of Landlord under this Lease, no Mortgagee or Ground Lessor shall have any liability to Tenant for any security deposit paid to Landlord by Tenant hereunder, unless such security deposit has actually been received by such Mortgagee or Ground Lessor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Requests by Mortgagee or Ground Lessor</u>**. Should any prospective Mortgagee or Ground Lessor require a modification or modifications of this Lease, which modification or modifications will not cause an increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way change the rights and obligations of Tenant and Landlord hereunder, other than to a *de minimis* extent, in the reasonable judgment of Tenant, then and in such event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified and agrees to execute whatever documents are required therefor and deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) business days following written request therefor. Should any prospective Mortgagee or Ground Lessor require execution of a short form of this Lease for recording (containing, among other customary provisions, the names of the parties, a description of the Premises and the Term of this Lease), Tenant agrees to execute such short form of lease and deliver the same to Landlord within ten business (10) days following the request therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**22.<u>INSURANCE AND SUBROGATION</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Tenant's Insurance</u>**. Tenant shall carry insurance during the entire Term (and during any period of holdover) insuring Tenant, and insuring, for those coverages whereby Landlord and Landlord Parties are to be names as additional insured per requirements below, Landlord, Landlord's constituent

------

members and agents, all Mortgagees and their respective agents, partners and employees, with terms, coverages and in companies satisfactory to Landlord, and Tenant will comply with all terms, conditions and requirements set forth in the Insurance Addendum attached hereto as <u>Exhibit L</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant will not do or suffer to be done, or keep or suffer to be kept anything in, upon or about the Premises which may be prohibited by Landlord's insurance policies or any endorsements or forms attached thereto, or which increases any insurance rates and premiums on the Building. If anything done, omitted to be done or suffered to be done by Tenant, or kept or suffered by Tenant to be kept in, upon and about the Premises causes the rate of Landlord's insurance on the Building to be increased beyond the rate for the least hazardous type of occupancy legally permitted in the Premises (it being agreed that Tenant's use of the Premises for the Use shall be deemed not to violate the foregoing), Tenant will pay, as Additional Rent, the increased cost of such insurance within 30 days after a bill for such increased cost is sent to Tenant together with reasonable supporting documentation, whether or not Landlord has consented to any such act or omission. In determining whether increased premiums are attributable to Tenant hereunder, a copy of the schedule, rules books, rules or rating procedures issued by the organization making the insurance rates on the Premises or by Landlord's insurance companies will be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up the insurance rates and premiums on the Premises and the Building.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord makes no representation that the limits of liability specified to be carried by Tenant under the terms of this Lease will be adequate to protect Tenant against Tenant's undertaking under the Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>INTENTIONALLY OMITTED</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Landlord's Insurance</u>**. Landlord shall carry during the Term hereof replacement cost property insurance on the Building core and shell (including all base Building improvements at the Building, Tenant Alterations and all other alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises) against fire and other extended coverage perils in an amount sufficient to prevent Landlord from being deemed a co-insurer of the risks insured under the policy, with such insurance to be written in a manner so as to provide that the insurance company waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Tenant in connection with any loss or damage covered by any such policy. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary or prudent, including, but not limited to, commercial general liability insurance and rent loss insurance, provided such coverages are consistent with market for similar properties in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**23.<u>NONWAIVER</u>**. No waiver of any condition expressed in this Lease shall be implied by any neglect of Landlord or Tenant to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such condition, whether or not such violation be continued or repeated subsequently, and no express waiver shall affect any condition other than the one specified in such waiver and that one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated. Without limiting Landlord's rights under the provisions of Section 11, it is agreed that no receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the termination in any way of the Term or of Tenant's right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice given to Tenant prior to the receipt of such money. It is also agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any money due, and Landlord's receipt and collection of said money shall not waive or affect any said notice, suit or judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**24.<u>ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE</u>**. Tenant agrees that from time to time upon not less than ten (10) business days' prior request by Landlord or any existing or prospective Mortgagee or Ground Lessor, Tenant shall, and Tenant shall cause any subtenant, licensee, concessionaire or other occupant of the Premises claiming by, through or under Tenant, to complete, execute and deliver to Landlord or

------

Landlord's designee or to any existing or prospective Mortgagee or Ground Lessor, a written estoppel certificate certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and is in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this Lease, as modified, is in full force and effect and setting forth the modifications); (b) the amounts of the monthly installments of Monthly Rent and Additional Rent then required to be paid under this Lease; (c) the date to which Rent has been paid; (d) that to the best of Tenant's knowledge, Landlord is not in default under any of the provisions of this Lease, or if in default, the nature thereof in detail and what is required to cure same; and (e) such other information concerning the status of this Lease or the parties' performance hereunder reasonably requested by Landlord or the party to whom such estoppel certificate is to be addressed. Tenant's failure to complete, execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within the aforesaid 10-business day period shall be deemed to be a Default under Section 19 of this Lease, if not cured within five (5) business days following Landlord's delivery of a second notice requesting that Tenant execute and deliver such estoppel certificate to Landlord.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**25.<u>TENANT CORPORATION, LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY OR PARTNERSHIP</u>**. In case Tenant is a corporation or a limited liability company, (a) Tenant represents and warrants that this Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by and on behalf of Tenant and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof, and (b) if Landlord so requests, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord confirming the foregoing. In case Tenant is a partnership, (a) Tenant represents and warrants that all of the persons who are general or managing partners in said partnership have executed this Lease on behalf of Tenant, or that this Lease has been executed and delivered pursuant to and in conformity with a valid and effective authorization therefor by all of the general or managing partners of such partnership, and is and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the partnership and each and every partner therein in accordance with its terms, to the extent permitted by law, and (b) if Landlord so requests, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord confirming the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**26.<u>REAL ESTATE BROKERS</u>**. Tenant and Landlord each represents and warrants to the other party that it did not deal with any broker in connection with this Lease other than the Brokers identified in Section 1(b); provided the parties acknowledge Tenant discussed this Lease with a 3<sup>rd</sup> party retained by Tenant in connection with the sale of the Property to Landlord, for which any fees payable to such 3<sup>rd</sup> party shall be paid solely by Tenant. The parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord did not enter into any agreement with any Brokers and shall have no liability to any Broker in connection with this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its agents and their respective partners and employees, and the Project, harmless of, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, liens, costs and expenses, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, arising from any claims or demands of any other broker or brokers or finders for any commission alleged to be due such other broker or brokers or finders claiming to have dealt with Tenant in connection with this Lease. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its agents and their respective partners and employees, harmless of, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, liens, costs and expenses, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, arising from any claims or demands of any other broker or brokers or finders for any commission alleged to be due such other broker or brokers or finders claiming to have dealt with Landlord in connection with this Lease. Any representation or statement by a leasing company or other third party (or employee thereof engaged by Landlord as an independent contractor) that is made about the Premises or to the rest of the Building or the Project will not bind Landlord or modify this Lease, and Landlord will have no liability therefor except to the extent such representation is also contained in this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**27.<u>NOTICES</u>**. All notices, waivers, demands, requests or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall, unless otherwise expressly provided, be in writing and be deemed to have been properly given, served and received (a) if delivered personally or by same-day courier messenger, when delivered, (b) if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier, on the first (1<sup>st</sup>) business day after deposit

------

with said courier, (c) if mailed by United States Mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, on the date actually received or refused, or (d) solely any notice related to the day to day operations of the Building, including without limitation, related to access to the Premises, by electronic mail delivery.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, any written notice required to be given herein related to the day to day operations of the Building including without limitation related to access to the Premises, may be given by Landlord (or its management agent) by electronic email to such party(ies) designated by Tenant from time to time responsible for the operations and maintenance of the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;28.**<u>MISCELLANEOUS</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Successors and Assigns</u>**. Each provision of this Lease shall extend to and shall bind and inure to the benefit not only of Landlord and Tenant, but also their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, but this provision shall not operate to permit any assignment, subletting, mortgage, lien, charge, or other transfer or encumbrance contrary to the provisions of this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amendment</u>**. No modification, waiver or amendment of this Lease or of any of its conditions or provisions shall be binding upon a party hereto unless the same shall be in writing and signed by such party.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant</u>**. The word "**Tenant**" whenever used herein shall be construed to mean Tenants or any one or more of them in all cases where there is more than one Tenant; and the necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions hereof apply either to corporations or other organizations, partnerships or other entities, or individuals, shall in all cases be assumed as though in each case fully expressed. In all cases where there is more than one Tenant, (a) the liability of each shall be joint and several, and (b) any one person or entity comprising Tenant may give any notice or approval required or permitted to be given by Tenant under this Lease, and such notice or approval shall be deemed binding upon all persons or entities comprising Tenant and may be relied upon by Landlord as if such notice or approval had been given by all persons or entities comprising Tenant.

All parking privileges will be subject to Rules and Regulations then in place, which may be amended from time to time (subject to reasonable exceptions which Landlord may reasonably approve from time-to-time). Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant's parking rights against any third parties. If Tenant fails to comply with any of the parking requirements or otherwise creates a nuisance for other tenants at the Project as a result of Tenant's parking (a "**Parking Default**"), and such Parking Default continues for more than three (3) days from Landlord's demand to cease such Parking Default, Landlord may, in addition to any other rights, cause vehicles causing a Parking Default to be towed at Tenant's cost without liability to Landlord. Landlord agrees that if at any time Landlord (or an affiliate or other party acting on behalf of Landlord) is performing repairs or maintenance to the parking areas utilized by Tenant, Landlord shall provide reasonable alternate parking to Tenant (at no cost to Tenant).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**39.<u>INTENTIONALLY OMITTED</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**40.<u>EXTENSION OPTION</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions of this Section 40, Tenant shall

have, and is hereby granted, one (1) separate option (an "**Extension Option**") to extend the Lease Term, for an additional period of five (5) years commencing on the end of the initial Term (an "**Extended Term**"). The Extension Option shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, by giving binding written notice (the "**Extension Notice**") thereof to Landlord on or before, but not later than nine (9) months prior to the end of the initial Term ("**Extension Option Exercise Date**"). In the event that Tenant fails to deliver the

------

Extension Notice to Landlord by the Extension Option Exercise Date, Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the Extension Option hereunder, and the same shall be and become null, void, and of no further force or effect, time being of the essence in the delivery of Tenant's Extension Notice hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Extended Term shall be on the same terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease, excluding the provisions of this Section 40, except for the payment of Monthly Rent during the Extended Term(s). The Monthly Rent during the Extended Term shall be an amount equal to 103.5% of the Monthly Rent in the last Lease Year of the initial Term, and shall increase by 3.5% each year during the Extended Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It shall be a condition of Tenant's right to exercise either Extension Option that (i) neither this Lease, nor Tenant's right to possession hereunder, shall have been terminated, (ii) Tenant is not then in Default under any of the terms, provisions, covenants, or conditions of this Lease at the time that Tenant delivers Tenant's Extension Notice or upon the commencement of the Extended Term, and (iii) Tenant is then leasing and occupying the entirety of the Premises at the time of delivery of Tenant's Extension Notice and upon the commencement of the Extended Term, (iv) if Tenant is no longer publicly traded and financials are not publicly available, Tenant shall submit current audited and certified financial statements of Tenant (unless Tenant's financial statements are not audited, in which case reviewed and certified statements shall be acceptable) to Landlord concurrently with Tenant's Extension Notice, and (v) there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of Tenant, as reasonably determined by Landlord, at the time that Tenant delivers its Extension Notice or upon the commencement of the Extended Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that Tenant exercises Tenant's Extension Option under this Section 40, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord an amendment to this Lease setting forth the terms of such Extension Option(s) within ten (10) business days following the delivery of such amendment to Tenant hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;41.**<u>LEASE COMMENCEMENT/ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES</u>**. Landlord and

Tenant shall enter into a commencement letter agreement (the "Commencement Letter") in form substantially similar to that attached hereto as <u>Exhibit F</u>, but the failure to execute the same shall not affect either party's rights or obligations under this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;42.**<u>MATERIAL OPERATIONAL IMPACT</u>**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in

this Lease, if Landlord's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or Landlord's exercise of its rights or obligations under this Lease has a "Material Operational Impact" (as hereinafter defined) on Tenant, and such Material Operational Impact continues for five (5) consecutive days after Landlord's receipt of written notice from Tenant, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable per diem abatement of Rent (pro-rated in the event Tenant is able to operate within a portion of the Premises) commencing on the sixth (6<sup>th</sup>) consecutive day after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice until the Material Operational Impact on Tenant ceases. A "**Material Operational Impact**" means a negligent or willful act or omission caused by Landlord, a Landlord Party, including any of Landlord's employees, agents, contractors, or other party operating under Landlord's authority, which (i) adversely affects, more than to a di minimis extent, access to or use of the Data Center; or (ii) results in a loss or cessation of any utility service to the Premises; or (iii) adversely affects, more than to a di minimis extent, the security of the Data Center, and as a result of any of the foregoing, Tenant is reasonably unable to operate for its Use within the Premises. Tenant shall not be permitted to abate Rent if (a) provided Landlord is not grossly negligent in its performance of the repairs or alterations, Tenant requests that Landlord perform repairs or alterations which (x) Landlord is not otherwise required to provide pursuant to the provisions of this Lease and (y) result in such disruption or such disruption is otherwise caused by Tenant's acts or omissions; or (b) the Material Operational Impact results from a casualty or a Force Majeure event.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;43.**<u>DATA CENTER</u>**. Landlord recognizes that the security and proper functioning of the Data Center is critical to Tenant's business operations within the Building, and all possible measures shall be taken by Landlord to ensure there are no utility interruptions or diminished utility capacity to the Data Center without reasonable advance notice. In connection with the Data Center, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord and any Landlord Party, including any property manager, shall not be permitted entry to the Data Center at any time during the Term, except in the event of an emergency which risks imminent damage to the Premises, Building, and/or Project, or physical harm to persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall remain obligated to contact Tenant as soon as is reasonably possible regarding any emergency and if time permits without risking further harm to persons or property, and if possible, provide Tenant with sufficient time to have a representative be present before Landlord enters the Data Center;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord shall not be permitted to perform any electrical work to the Building electric supply reasonably expected to impact the Premises without providing Tenant advance notice of the time and nature of the work;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any contractors performing work on behalf of the Landlord which directly involve the Data Center shall be subject to Tenant's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{REDACTED}.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{REDACTED}
