4.Landlord will grant to Tenant, at no cost to Tenant, Exclusive use of the interconnecting corridor between Buildings 1 & 2; any modifications to building need to be approved by Landlord in advance.

6.Exhibit A-3 (Private User Network) is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced with Attachment A-3 hereto.

 

7.Effective on the Effective Date and continuing until such time as Tenant commences delivery of its own electrical power to each of the Buildings and Potrooms covered in this Section 7 (through 1470 via its own REP) Landowner will provide Temporary Construction Power to Tenant through Landlord’s 1480 circuit for a fixed daily fee of [***].
