to Landlord for Landlord’s review and reasonable approval, which shall be given or withheld in writing within 10 business days after receipt of the U2 Connecting Study.  If Landlord withholds its reasonable approval, written notice thereof shall contain Landlord’s detailed written objections to the U2 Connecting Study.  If Landlord fails timely to respond in writing to the U2 Connecting Study, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such study.  All plans and specifications for the installation of the U2 Riser Connecting Equipment must be consistent with both the U2 Riser Study and the U2 Connecting Study.  All conduit connections to the U2 Riser installed by Tenant as part of the U2 Riser Connecting Equipment shall be made with only flexible connections as permitted under Applicable Laws; rigid connections are not permitted.  Each of the automatic transfer switches installed by Tenant as part of the U2 Connecting Equipment shall be installed by Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, within the applicable portions of the Draw Space served by the U2 Riser.  Following Tenant’s installation of each material component of the U2 Riser Connecting Equipment, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s cost, promptly deliver to Landlord an updated “as-built” single line electrical diagram depicting all of the connections maintained by Tenant to the U2 Riser, together with a copy of any and all final sign offs and approvals required by the applicable governmental agencies for Tenant to install and operate the U2 Riser Connecting Equipment.

 

11.10.3          Special Equipment.  As used herein, (i) the “Special Equipment” shall mean, collectively, the U2 Riser, Generator No. 9, and the Tenant Connecting Equipment, and (ii) the “Special Equipment Site” shall mean those portions of the Building located outside of the Premises and the 4th Floor Space where the Special Equipment is located.  Except for Landlord’s obligation to perform the Power Improvements, Landlord shall not (a) have any obligation with respect to the maintenance, repair, replacement, operation and/or management of the Special Equipment (including, without limitation, any obligation to perform, provide, or pay for the installation of any Connection/Distribution Work or Tenant Connecting Equipment as may be necessary or desirable to connect any portion of the Draw Space to the U2 Riser and/or Generator No. 9, and/or to draw Power therefrom), or (b) be responsible for any damage that may be caused to the Special Equipment, except to the extent such damage is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord Parties (but subject to the waiver and limitations set forth in Section 9.4 of the Lease).  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that for all purposes under the Lease:  (1) those portions of the Special Equipment located outside the Premises and the 4th Floor Space shall be deemed to be part of the Supplemental Equipment; (2) the Special Equipment Site shall be deemed to be a part of the Supplemental Areas; and (3) accordingly, the Special Equipment and the Special Equipment Site shall be subject to all of the provisions of the Lease pertaining to the Supplemental Equipment and Supplemental Areas, except as otherwise provided in and/or modified by this Section 11.10.3, provided that in no event shall Tenant (A) have any right or obligation at any time to remove the U2 Riser or Generator No. 9, or (B) be deemed to be the owner of the U2 Riser or Generator No. 9 for any purpose.

 

11.10.4          Permits.  Prior to Tenant’s installation of any Tenant Connecting Equipment or operation of the U2 Riser or Generator No. 9, Tenant shall have obtained (and delivered to Landlord), at Tenant’s cost, all permits and approvals necessary for Tenant to install such Tenant Connecting Equipment (which permits and approvals must be based upon the Landlord approved plans and specifications for such Tenant Connecting

 

20



 

Equipment) and to operate the U2 Riser or Generator No. 9 (as the case may be) (collectively, the “Permits”), including, without limitation, an operating permit for Generator No. 9 from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (which shall have Tenant’s name thereon as managing operator of Generator No. 9).  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s cost, obtain and maintain all such Permits in good standing at all times from and after the Second Increase Date, and shall deliver evidence of such good standing to Landlord promptly after request therefor.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s cost, take all such reasonable actions as are necessary to transfer the Permits to Landlord (unless otherwise elected by Landlord in writing prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease).

 

11.10.5          Maintenance and Operation of Special Equipment.

 

11.10.5.1       Maintenance and Operation.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the Existing Lease (including, without limitation, the limitations on repairs and maintenance in Section 7.1 of the Lease) to the contrary, Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s cost (including, without limitation, utilities costs), for the operation, repair, maintenance, and, if necessary, replacement of the Special Equipment so as to operate and maintain the same in good working order and condition from and after the Second Increase Date (subject, however, to Landlord’s payment of the Landlord Contribution Amount for any Approved Replacement pursuant to Section 11.10.5.4 below).  In connection with the foregoing, Tenant shall maintain the Special Equipment in compliance with (i) all Applicable Laws, (ii) customary industry standards, (iii) applicable manufacturer guidelines, and (iv) to the extent not in conflict with the foregoing, Landlord’s written preventative maintenance program therefor as delivered to Tenant prior to the Amendment Date (which, with respect to the U2 Riser, currently follows the NETA Standards [International Electrical Testing Association, f/k/a National Electrical Testing Association]), as such preventative maintenance program may be reasonably modified by Landlord in writing from time-to-time so long as such modifications are not in conflict with clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 11.10.5.1.  If there exists a conflict among the requirements, standards and/or programs set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 11.10.5.1, Tenant acknowledges that (a) clauses (i) and (iii) shall control over clause (ii), and (b) Tenant shall comply with those requirements, standards and programs in clauses (i) and (iii) which provide for the higher level of safety and diligence.  Tenant’s compliance with Landlord’s preventative maintenance program shall include, without limitation, the performance of testing and inspections on the Special Equipment of the type and in the frequency as required thereby.  Landlord and Tenant shall, prior to Tenant’s installation of any Tenant Connecting Equipment, develop a mutually agreeable schedule for the performance of any testing and inspections involving or requiring running Generator No. 9, power outages and/or the removal of electrical panel covers; provided that Tenant shall have no right to run Generator No. 9 for any such testing or inspections unless Tenant has provided at least 48 hours’ prior written notice thereof to Landlord, and then only after normal business hours (unless otherwise reasonably approved by Landlord).  All maintenance, repair, replacements, testing and inspections of the Special Equipment shall be (1) subject to Landlord’s prior, reasonable approval (except that Landlord may withhold its approval in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any such matters that would result in a Design Problem), and (2) performed by qualified, licensed and

 

21



 

bonded contractors reasonably approved by Landlord.  Records of all such maintenance, repair, replacements, testing and inspections of the Special Equipment shall be provided by Tenant to Landlord within 30 days after written request therefor.

 

11.10.5.2               Special Provisions for U2 Riser.  Tenant shall cause all automatic transfer switches connected to the U2 Riser to be synchronized to avoid a substantial inrush of electrical current when switching from Generator No. 9 to the U2 Riser.  If a trip of the “U2a” or “U2b” sub-main circuit breakers or the main switch board breaker for the U2 Riser occurs, then the circuit breaker(s) shall be reset by Tenant in accordance with the safety guidelines of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70E — Standard for Electrical Safety In the Workplace-2010 Edition, Section 130.6(K)-Reclosing Circuits After Protective Device Operation, which, in summary, states that if the circuit breaker(s) is/are deenergized by Long Time Pickup (overload), then reenergizing is allowed without further examination; however, if the circuit breaker(s) was/were deenergized by Short Time Pick Up, Instantaneous Fault, or Ground Fault, then examination of the circuit must be performed prior to any attempts to reenergize.  If the 4,000 amp main circuit breaker trips, only Landlord’s engineer or other Landlord authorized personnel may reset the same.  Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) Landlord maintains restricted access to the main electrical room located on the P-1 level of the Building wherein the “U2a” and “U2b” sub-main circuit breakers and ATS-U2b are located, and (ii) Tenant shall abide by all reasonable rules and regulations of Landlord in accessing such main electrical room (including, without limitation, during emergency situations); provided that to the extent any of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease require access to such main electrical room and Tenant is denied or unreasonably delayed in its entry to such room through no fault of Tenant or the Tenant Parties, Tenant’s applicable obligations shall be tolled until such time as Tenant has all necessary access to such main electrical room.

 

11.10.5.3       Modification of Special Equipment.  Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s cost, to modify the Special Equipment so long as such modification does not cause a Design Problem and Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, removes or restores, as applicable, all such modifications on or before the expiration of the Lease Term.

 

11.10.5.4       Replacement of Special Equipment.  This Section 11.10.5.4 shall be applicable only to replacements of the U2 Riser and/or Generator No. 9 described herein and there shall be no Landlord Contribution Amounts payable with respect to any Tenant Connecting Equipment that may be concurrently replaced.  If (i) Tenant replaces any component of the U2 Riser and/or Generator No. 9 which is (a) necessary to operate and maintain the U2 Riser and/or Generator No. 9 in good working order and condition and/or otherwise comply with Tenant’s maintenance obligations in Section 11.10.5.1 above, (b) approved by Landlord as provided in Section 11.10.5.1 above, (c) not the result of the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Tenant or the Tenant Parties, or the failure by Tenant to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 11.10 (including, without limitation, Tenant’s maintenance obligations in Section 11.10.5.1 above), and (d) considered a capital improvement under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and has a useful life (as reasonably determined by the parties) in excess of the greater of (1) 3 years, and (2) the remaining portion of the then-current Lease Term (plus the Option Term of any then-exercised 2.2 Option which has not yet commenced) as of

 

22



 

the date such replacement is installed, and (ii) prior to Tenant installing any such replacement, Tenant obtained Landlord’s prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the cost estimate of the out-of-pocket costs of such replacement, and (iii) the actual out-of-pocket costs of Tenant for such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Costs”“) exceed $50,000.00 (any such replacement meeting the criteria set forth in clauses (i) through (iii), an “Approved Replacement”), then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the Landlord Contribution Amount pertaining to such Approved Replacement.  As used herein, the “Landlord Contribution Amount” shall mean, with respect to each Approved Replacement, the product of (A) the Replacement Costs of such Approved Replacement (which shall not exceed the cost estimate therefor previously approved by Landlord, unless such excess is approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of years of the useful life of such Approved Replacement that will occur after the expiration of the then-current Lease Term (and any Option Term of any then-exercised 2.2 Option which has not yet commenced), and the denominator of which is the total number of years of the useful life of such Approved Replacement.  Promptly following completion of the Approved Replacement, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a detailed invoice of the Replacement Costs thereof, and Landlord shall pay to Tenant the Landlord Contribution Amount for such Replacement Costs within 30 days after Landlord’s receipt of such invoice.  If Landlord fails to pay such Landlord Contribution Amount within such 30-day period, and such failure shall continue for more than 5 business days after notice of such failure is delivered by Tenant to Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Rent due under the Lease the amount of such Landlord Contribution Amount, plus interest thereon at 10% per annum.  If following Landlord’s payment of a Landlord Contribution Amount for a particular Approved Replacement, the Lease Term is extended for the Option Term of a 2.2 Option which was not exercised as of the date such Approved Replacement was installed, then Tenant shall repay to Landlord a portion of such Landlord Contribution Amount equal to the product of (x) such Landlord Contribution Amount, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of years of the useful life of such Approved Replacement that will occur during such Option Term, and the denominator of which is the total number of years of the useful life of such Approved Replacement; such payment by Tenant shall be made within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor from Landlord.  The parties agree that their respective payments for the Replacement Costs are intended for federal tax purposes to be treated as investments in leasehold improvements depreciable by each party in accordance with and subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 168(i)(8).

 

11.10.6          Relocation Right.  Landlord may, at Landlord’s cost (and not as a Direct Expense) and upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to Tenant, relocate Generator No. 9 to another location at the Project designated by Landlord.  If Landlord so relocates Generator No. 9, Landlord shall perform such relocation in a manner so as to ensure as little interruption with Tenant’s business operations as reasonably possible, including, without limitation, by temporarily connecting the applicable portions of the Draw Space connected to Generator No. 9 to another backup power generator.

 

23



 

11.10.7          Default.  If Tenant fails to comply with any of the covenants and/or conditions set forth in this Section 11.10 as and when required, then without limiting Landlord’s rights and remedies it may otherwise have under the Lease, at law and/or in equity, Tenant shall, upon written notice from Landlord, have the option either to:  (i) immediately discontinue its use of the particular items of the Special Equipment which are non-compliant, remove such items of the Tenant Connecting Equipment which are non-compliant (unless otherwise directed by Landlord), and repair any damage caused to the Special Equipment Site, Building and/or Project by such removal, or (ii) correct such noncompliance within 5 days after receipt of notice or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to correct such noncompliance, so long as Tenant commences to correct such noncompliance within such 5-day period and thereafter proceeds with due diligence to correct such noncompliance.  If Tenant elects the option described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence and Tenant fails to correct such noncompliance within the applicable time period described in clause (ii), then Tenant shall immediately discontinue its use of the particular items of the Special Equipment which are non-compliant and remove such items of the Tenant Connecting Equipment which are non-compliant (unless otherwise directed by Landlord).  Tenant acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 11.10.7 shall not modify, diminish or otherwise impair any applicable rights or remedies Landlord may elect to pursue in accordance with Section 11.7.2 above.

 

11.10.8          Surrender.  Notwithstanding the terms of Article 14 of the Lease, upon the expiration of the Lease Term or upon any earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Special Equipment to Landlord in good working order, repair and condition; it being acknowledged and agreed that Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any Tenant Connecting Equipment unless Landlord notified Tenant in writing prior to installation of such applicable Tenant Connecting Equipment that Tenant shall be required to remove the same upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease (in which case Tenant shall, at Tenant’s cost, remove such Tenant Connecting Equipment, and repair any damage caused by such removal, on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination pursuant to Article 8 of the Lease and the applicable provisions of Section 2.1 of the Summary and Section 6.9 of the Lease and in accordance with a removal plan reasonably approved by Landlord).

 

11.11      Electrical Power for Office Space and Storage Space.

 

11.11.1      Electrical Power.  This Section 11.11 shall govern Landlord’s obligation to provide electrical power to the Office Space and Storage Space, and the foregoing provisions of this Section 11 shall govern Landlord’s obligation to provide electrical power to the Power Suites.  In no event may Tenant convert any portion of the Office Space or Storage Space to a Power Suite for purposes of drawing any electrical or generator power thereto other than Standard Electrical Power.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, from and after the Amendment Date, Landlord shall make available to (i) the Office Space and Storage Space, electricity from the “house” Building-electrical panels then serving the Office Space and Storage Space sufficient to power the overhead lights existing in the Office Space and Storage Space as of the Amendment Date, and (ii) the Office Space, only, electrical power in amounts reasonably sufficient for normal office use (the electricity provided in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Standard Electrical Power “).  Notwithstanding the first sentence

 

24



 

of Section 6.2 of the Lease (or anything else contained in the Lease) to the contrary, Landlord’s provision of the Standard Electrical Power to the Office Space and Storage Space shall be provided as part of Utility Expenses and shall not be separately metered.  Effective from and after the Amendment Date, Section 4.2.9(hh) of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:  “costs of electricity or power provided to any leased or occupied space in the Building wherein the primary use thereof is as a data center or for other telecommunications-related purposes”.

 

11.11.2      Limitations on Use of Power.  Tenant shall not operate any electrical equipment from the outlets or other connections serving the Storage Space other than Tenant’s use of Building-standard lights therein.  In addition, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, use machines or equipment in the Office Space other than normal fractional horsepower office machines and equipment (in each case using not more than 110 volts).

 

12.          Release and Waiver.

 

12.1        Release by Tenant.  In consideration for Landlord’s covenants and agreements set forth in this Fourth Amendment, including, without limitation, in Section 11 above, Tenant, on behalf of itself and all of its agents, attorneys, partners, members, joint venturers, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, and subtenants, and each of them, hereby forever:  (i) waives and relinquishes any right to (a) dispute that prior to the First Increase Date, Landlord had or has any obligation to make available from the Base Electrical Systems or the Generators (and/or any other systems, equipment, generators or sources) (1) electrical or generator power (including any Power) to (A) the Direct Power Suites and the 4th Floor Space in an amount in excess of the Maximum Building Power Amount or Maximum Generator Power Amount, as applicable, in effect as of the Amendment Date, (B) any Direct Power Suite or the 4th Floor Space in an amount in excess of the Riser Allocation Amount or Generator Allocation Amount, as applicable, set forth in line number 1 of Exhibit F-1, or (C) any of the CoreSite Power Suites, or (2) electrical power to the Office Space and Storage Space in excess of the Standard Electrical Power, or (b) dispute that prior to the Improvement Deadline, Landlord had or has any obligation to make available from the Base Electrical Systems or the Generators (and/or any other systems, equipment, generators or sources) (1) electrical or generator power (including any Power) to (A) the Direct Power Suites and the 4th Floor Space in an amount in excess of the Maximum Building Power Amount or Maximum Generator Power Amount, as applicable, in effect as of the First Increase Date, (B) any Direct Power Suite or the 4th Floor Space in an amount in excess of the Riser Allocation Amount or Generator Allocation Amount, as applicable, set forth in line number 3 of Exhibit F-1, or (C) any of the CoreSite Power Suites, or (2) electrical power to the Office Space and Storage Space in excess of the Standard Electrical Power; or (c) claim a breach by Landlord for any period prior to the Amendment Date with respect to any obligations of Landlord to provide or make available electrical power and/or generator power to the Existing Premises (the matters described in clauses (a) through (c), collectively, the “Disputed Matters”); and (ii) releases, acquits and forever discharges Landlord and its agents, attorneys, partners, members, joint venturers, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent owner of the Project and any prior, existing or future mortgagee of the Project), and each of them

 

25



 

(collectively, the “Landlord Released Parties”), from any and all demands, damages, charges, claims, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees and/or causes of action of any type, kind, nature description or character, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, previously existing, now existing or hereafter arising, in law or equity, which Tenant ever had or now has or hereafter can, shall, or may have against the Landlord Released Parties, and each of them, which arise out of or are in any way connected, directly or indirectly, to the Disputed Matters (collectively, the “Released Claims”), and those Released Claims only.  This release by Tenant shall not affect or apply to Landlord’s obligation to perform the Power Improvements or Landlord’s other obligations under Section 11 above.  Tenant acknowledges that it might hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those Tenant now knows or believes to be true with respect to the Released Claims, and Tenant expressly agrees to assume the risk of possible discovery of additional or different facts, and agrees that this Fourth Amendment shall be and remain effective in all respects regardless of such additional or different discovered facts, or any change in circumstances.

 

12.2        Waiver of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1542.  With respect to the Released Claims, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has either been advised by legal counsel or has made itself familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:

 

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

 

Tenant, being aware of the above code section, hereby expressly waives any rights Tenant may have thereunder, as well as under any other statutes or common-law principles of similar effect pertaining to the Released Claims.

 

12.3        Claims Not Assigned.  Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has not heretofore assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any of the Released Claims.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, debts, damages, obligations, liabilities, costs, losses, expenses, rights of action, and causes of action based on, arising out of or in connection with any such transfer or assignment or purported transfer or assignment.

 

12.4        No Admission of Liability.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the provisions of Section 11 above and this Section 12 represent a compromise and settlement pertaining to the Dispute, and by entering into this Fourth Amendment, neither Landlord nor Tenant admits or acknowledges the existence of any liability or wrongdoing.  This Fourth Amendment shall not be treated as an admission of liability by Landlord or Tenant for any purpose.

 

13.          Replacement of Exhibits A-4 and A-5.  Effective retroactively to the Effective Date of the Original Lease:  (i) Exhibit A-4 attached to the Original Lease is deleted and replaced

 

26



 

with the Exhibit A-4 attached hereto; and (ii) Exhibit A-5 attached to the Original Lease is deleted and replaced with the Exhibit A-5 attached hereto.

 

14.          Address of Landlord.  Landlord’s address currently set forth in Section 11 of the Summary, is deleted and replaced with the following:

 

Hines REIT One Wilshire LP,
c/o Hines Interests Limited Partnership
624 South Grand Avenue, Suite 2435
Los Angeles, California 90017
Attention:  Property Manager

 

15.          Brokers.  Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that:  (i) it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Fourth Amendment other than (a) Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines Interests”) representing Landlord (whose commissions, if any, shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and Hines Interests) and (b) CoreSite Realty Corporation (“CS Realty”) representing Tenant (whose commissions, if any, shall be paid by Tenant pursuant to a separate agreement between Tenant and CS Realty); and (ii) it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Fourth Amendment.  Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the breach by the indemnifying party of any of such indemnifying party’s representations, warranties and/or covenants set forth above in this Section 15.

 

16.          No Further Modification.  Except as set forth in this Fourth Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Existing Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

 

17.          Counterparts.  This Fourth Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which is to be deemed original for all purposes, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
