1 The Leased Premises, Intended Use

 

1.1 The Lessor will lease to the Lessee and the Lessee will lease from the Lessor the industrial premises located at Cessnalaan 50, Schiphol Rijk, known as Schiphol Distribution Center 2, Units A, B, and C, recorded in the land registry as Municipality of Haarlemmermeer, section AK, number 2213, comprising a total of appr. 20,305 m² (the “Leased Premises”), as further indicated on the drawings attached to this Agreement as appendix 1 (Plan of the Site) and appendix 2 (Drawings of the Leased Premises) and further described in the Outline Specifications (appendix 3) and in the Delivery Statement (as defined in this article 1.1).

The Leased Premises consist of in total appr. 11,720 m² (eleven thousand seven hundred and twenty square meters) of warehouse/data centre space and appr. 1,950 m² (one thousand nine hundred fifty square meters) of office space (all measurements in this Agreement being net square meters)), surrounding grounds and parking spaces as indicated on the drawings (appendix 1 and 2), divided as follows:

Unit A:

 

    Appr. 3,227 m² (three thousand two hundred twenty-seven square meters) of warehouse/data centre space,

 

   

Appr. 377 m² (three hundred seventy-seven square meters) of office space,

 

Initials Lessee: MvdA  Initials Parent: DR  Initials Lessor: GAG    2


Reference number: AB8374620

 

Unit B:

 

    Appr. 4,214 m² (four thousand two hundred fourteen square meters) of warehouse/ data centre space,

 

    Appr. 1,089 m² (one thousand eighty-nine square meters) of office space,

Unit C:

 

    Appr. 4,279 m² (four thousand two hundred seventy-nine square meters) of warehouse/ data centre space,

 

    Appr. 484 m² (four hundred eighty-four square meters) of office space,

The Lessor has executed a measurement to calculate the actual Net Lettable m² of the warehouse/data centre and office space (excluding car and truck parking) in accordance with the NEN 2580 norm that is in force on the date of the report as attached to this Agreement as appendix 4.

As the Site and parking area as indicated on the drawings will only be used by the Lessee, all parking spaces will be exclusive for the Lessee and its visitors. Approximately 86 parking spaces are situated in front and aside the Leased Premises. This area is partly closed off by a fence, as indicated on the drawings (appendix 2).

The Leased Space and the Site shall be accessible 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

Within 15 working days of the Lease Commencement Date the Parties will sign a delivery statement (the “Delivery Statement”), which will include photos and a description of the condition of the Leased Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date. The Delivery Statement will be attached to this Agreement as appendix 5.

 

1.2 The Lessee will be permitted to use the Leased Premises for the development and exploitation as a data centre with ancillary offices and parking spaces in the broadest sense of the word as long as these activities are in accordance with the (environmental) permits obtained by the Lessee and/or special requirements of the building as set out in the Outline Specifications (appendix 3).

The Lessee will be permitted to occupy the Leased Premises for a different use as stated above after the written approval of the Lessor. The Lessor will not withhold its approval on unreasonable grounds or delay its approval on unreasonable grounds.

The Lessee is solely responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and approvals from the (local) authorities and other regulatory agencies and utility providers associated with the intended use of the Leased Premises. Furthermore, the Lessee is solely responsible for verifying if all necessary permits and approvals for its intended use of the Leased Premises can be obtained.

All costs associated with getting the required permits and approvals for the intended use will be borne by the Lessee. Unless specifically agreed upon otherwise in this Agreement, not obtaining any of the required approvals or permits will not be seen as a default (“gebrek”) in the broadest sense of the word and will therefore not be a reason to (prematurely) terminate the Agreement or get any compensation whatsoever from the Lessor. The Lessee explicitly acknowledges its sole responsibility in this matter.

 

1.3 The Lessee is not permitted to use the Leased Premises for another purpose than that described above without prior written consent from the Lessor. The Lessor will not withhold its approval on unreasonable grounds or delay its approval on unreasonable grounds.

5 Supplies and services

 

5.1 The Parties hereby agree that the Lessor will not provide additional supplies and services (“leveringen en diensten”) regarding the Leased Premises in accordance with Article 16 of the General Terms and Conditions. Lessor shall therefore not charge any service charges to Lessee.

The Lessee shall obtain its own direct supply of electricity and gas and water and waste and any other possible services from the relevant utility company in respect of the Leased Premises.

 

6 Security

 

6.1 On or before the date of this Agreement, the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor a bank guarantee issued by a Dutch bank with a licence of De Nederlandsche Bank as a guarantee for the performance of the Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement. The bank guarantee will be attached to this Agreement as appendix 7 and will be in conformity with the model which is attached as appendix 8. The provisions of Article 12 of the General Terms and Conditions will apply to such bank guarantee. The amount of the bank guarantee is hereby established between the Parties at 3 (three) months’ rent plus value added tax. As long as the value added tax is reversed to the Lessee and therefore not payable, this amounts to EUR [***]. When the reversed charge mechanism is no longer applicable, and the Lessee pays the value added tax to the Lessor, Lessee will increase the amount up to EUR [***].

 

6.2 In addition to the bank guarantee, the Lessee is obliged to have Parent co-signing this Agreement. Parent declares by undersigning this Agreement that it is jointly and severally liable for the entire due financial performance of this Agreement. The Parties agree that the Parent is not obliged to operate the Leased Premises. However the Parent is entitled to operate the Leased Premises and to continue this Agreement if the Lessee (or its trustee) does not terminate the lease agreement in case of bankruptcy or suspension of payment of the Lessee.

 

6.3 The Parent herewith explicitly states that it is independently liable to the Lessor for all damage, costs and interests as a result of early termination or annulment of the Agreement including early termination due to (filing for) suspension of payment (surseance van betaling) or bankruptcy (faillissement) of the Lessee, which are understood to comprise, but not exclusively, any payment that would have been due by the Lessee to the Lessor during the term of this Agreement as if this Agreement had not been terminated.

 

6.4 At payment of any amount because of this article 6.2 and 6.3, the Parent will refrain for these amounts of (partial) recourse on the Lessee or the assets of the bankrupt Lessee, including but not limited to claims of i.a. but not limited to recourse (‘regres’) / subrogation (‘subrogatie’) / set off (‘verrekening’) , foreclosure of a security right (‘uitwinning van zekerheidsrechten’). The Parent will not accept any deposits or other payments of the Lessee related to this liability.

 

7 Manager

 

7.1 Until the Lessor announces otherwise, the following entity will act as manager: ProLogis Management B.V.

 

7.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, in so far as the content and all further matters with regard to this Agreement are concerned, the Lessee will come to an understanding with the manager.

SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Triple net

 

8 The Lessee shall, contrary to article 13.3 of the General Terms and Conditions, at its own account and risk, be responsible for all fitting-out works, maintenance, repairs and replacements with regard to the Leased Premises and the Site, including the technical installations, the roof (after installation of the new roof by the Lessor as set out in 14), the façade and any other structural parts of the Leased Premises and the Site. An indicative list – for clarification purposes: this not a limited list, therefore, the Lessee should execute more works if reasonable and necessary – will be attached as appendix 13 (“Triple net Supply and Services”).

The Lessee will furthermore be responsible for all other Landlord’s expenses to the Leased Premises, such as (but not limited to) property taxes (i.e.“triple net” lease agreement). The minimal required maintenance will be agreed by the Parties and monitored with the Lessor’s property management team and will be set out in appendix 13 (“Triple net Supply and Services”). The Lessee will inform the Lessor annually what maintenance works will be executed.

Due diligence report and Delivery

 

9 The Lessee is a professional and experienced party and has conducted a full due diligence of the Leased Premises. The Lessee therefore accepts the Leased Premises in “as is” condition and declares that it is aware of and does not object to all special obligations and restrictions relating to the Leased Premises as (e.g.) mentioned in the zoning plan and other applicable regulations, including, but not limited to, restricted rights and qualitative obligations.

Based on the due diligence executed by the Lessee, the Lessee has requested the Lessor to execute some works as described in appendix 12 (hereinafter: ‘the Works’). This is a limited list. The Lessor shall carry out at its own expense all the Works within 6 (six) months after the Lease Commencement Date. In the event that the Lessor has not finished the Works within the aforementioned period of 6 (six) months, the Lessee is entitled to carry out/finish the Works itself for the account of the Lessor.

The Lessor will start executing the Works after that this Agreement is unconditional. Therefore, the Parties agree that some of the Works might not be finished before the Lease Commencement Date. The Lessor and the Lessee will agree upon a reasonable time schedule to have the Lessor executing the Works during the 6 (six) months period after the Lease Commencement Date.

After that the Works are completed, the Leased Premises will be delivered by the Lessor to the Lessee ‘as is’ (nothwithstanding the works on the roof as set out in article 14). The Lessor will not execute any other works to improve the Leased Premises other than explicitly stated in this Agreement. If any defects will appear during Agreement, this will be for the account of the Lessee. The Lessee will however not be liable for (the repair of) any hidden defects to the Leased Premises that were present at the Lease Commencement Date and that were known or should have been known by the Lessor or that the Lessor did not mention to the Lessee (het gebrek bij het aangaan van de overeenkomst aanwezig was en de verhuurder het toen kende of had behoren te kennen, of toen aan de huurder heeft te kennen gegeven dat de zaak het gebrek niet had”). The state of the Leased Premises will be set out in the Delivery Statement, the drawings and the Outline Specifications. (appendices 1, 2, 3, and 5).

 

10 The Leased Premises will be delivered with a full automatic and certified K14 sprinkler system as set out in the Outline Specifications. The sprinkler system will be in good working order and certification and proof of annual maintenance is included in appendix 14.

Alterations to the fit-out of the Leased Premises

A) Alterations to the leased space

 

11 The Lessor is aware that the Lessee will install a data centre in the warehouse space according to a so called “box in a box” principle which concerns a self-supporting construction adding inside the building which shall not affect the structural specifications of the building and which shall not prevent Lessee to properly reinstate the Leased Premises at the end of the Leased Term following article 1.1 and article 22. The Lessee will also change the office space (together defined as: “non-structural alterations”). The Lessee is allowed to execute these non-structural alterations without the Lessor’s consent, whereas the Parties agree that nonstructural alterations constitute all those adjustments, that do not impact the basic supporting structure of the building. Examples of these non-structural alterations are (the following list is by no means exhaustive):

 

    Roof penetrations for exhaust pipes, cooling water pipes, steel beams for chiller platform, data and power cabling, etc.

 

    Enforcing floor load

 

    Installing self supporting steel frames and separation walls

 

    Installing self supporting floors

 

    Changing layout of offices, reception area’s and warehouse

 

    Installing fencing around the perimeter

 

    Installing facades against outer walls

These non-structural alterations are set out on appendix 10.

 

12 The Lessee is only allowed to carry out structural alterations to the Leased Premises, meaning all alterations that are not non-structural alterations as defined in article 11, with the Lessor’s prior written consent such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed by the Lessor.

 

13 All relevant costs, as well as obtaining the required permits/notifications from (local) authorities etc., associated with the changes to be realized by the Lessee are for the full account, and responsibility of the Lessee. Therefore, not being able to realize these changes in the broadest sense of the word does not qualify as a default (‘gebrek’) under this Agreement.

Roof

 

14 Due to the type of operation of the Lessee, the Parties agreed that the Lessor will invest in a replacement of the roof on its own cost and account and in accordance with the requirements set out in appendix 11. After the Lease Commencement Date, the Lessor will determine in good cooperation with the Lessee on the exact timing and details of the works on the roof. These works will be carried out in the first year of the Agreement (to be determined by both Parties). The works on the roof will however never start before that the Agreement is signed by the Parties, the bank guarantee is provided and the first rental payment is received by the Lessor.

The Lessor informed the Lessee that these works on the roof might cause hinder. The Lessee, however, stated that it prefers to occupy the Leased Premises before the works are executed. Therefore, the Parties agree that any hinder or disturbance due to these works cannot be qualified as a defect (“gebrek”) and therefore cannot be cause to any compensation/claim by the Lessee against the Lessor.

After the Lessor has completed the replacement of the roof according to the requirements set in appendix 11, the Lessee will be responsible for all future maintenance, replacements and liabilities regarding the roof.

Fence

 

15 In order to secure the Leased Premises, the Lessee is allowed to place one or more new fences and/or change the existing fence around the entire Leased Premises without the Lessor’s consent. Article 13 applies to these works.

Chillers and Condensers

 

16 The Lessee will have the right to install so called “chillers” and “condensers” next to the Leased Premises and or on to be installed platforms on the roof of the Leased Premises. Clause 13 applies to these works.

Power generators

 

17 The Lessee will have the right to place so called “power generators” in front or aside of the Leased Premises. Article 13 applies to these works.

Cabling and satellite dishes

 

18 The Lessee has the right to install cabling in the Leased Premises and in the ground in the direct vicinity of the Leased Premises leading from/ to the Leased Premises. The Lessee is permitted to place satellite dishes on the Leased Premises. Article 13 applies to all these works.

Security system

 

19 The Lessee will have the right, but is not obliged to use the security system that is currently in place in the Leased Premises and/or install its own extensive security system, including but not limited to an electronic card access system, proximity cards, video monitoring equipment, CCTV, biometrics readers and patrols by a private security firm. Article 13 applies to these works.

Geothermal wells

 

20 The Lessee will have the exclusive right to drill for wells and utilize geothermal resources from the Leased Premises. Article 13 applies to these works.

 

21 The Lessor will perform an environmental review of the Leased Premises, a copy of which shall be attached to this Agreement as appendix 9 (the “Review’). The Review represents the so-called “zero situation” (“nulsituatie”) agreed by the Lessee and the Lessor.

The Lessee is obliged to have an environmental survey of the Leased Premises (the “Environmental Survey”) carried out by a reputable and well-known environmental survey company, which company needs to be approved by the Lessor, at the expiry or early termination of the Lease.

If this Environmental Survey shows that compared with the so-called “zero situation”, as indicated in the Review, there are substances in the soil and/or groundwater of the Leased Premises that exceed the criteria for further investigation pursuant to the Soil Protection Act (“Wet Bodembescherming”) then the Lessor may carry out such further investigation and /or take such safety and/ or remediation measures as it shall think fit and the Lessee will be liable for all damages, losses, costs or expenses that are incurred by the Lessor as a result thereof and the Lessee shall hold the Lessor harmless and/or indemnify the Lessor from and against such damages, losses, costs, or expenses. The Lessee will however not be liable for any damages, losses, costs or expenses related to pollution of soil and/or groundwater of the Leased Premises that were present at the Lease Commencement Date, but were not detected during the zero situation.

If the Lessor and/or the Lessee are ordered by the competent authorities under the Soil Protection Act (“Wet Bodembescherming”) at the expiry of this Agreement or during the term of this Agreement to carry out investigations or to take safety or remediation measures with respect to the environmental situation of the soil and/or groundwater of the Leased Premises, then the Lessor may carry out such investigation and/or to take such safety and/or remediation measures as it shall think fit and the Lessee will be liable for damage, losses, costs or expenses that are incurred by the Lessor as a result thereof and the Lessee shall hold the

Lessor harmless and/or indemnify the Lessor from and against such damages, losses, costs, or expenses. Lessee will however not be liable for any damages, losses, costs or expenses related to pollution of soil and/or groundwater of the Leased Premises that were present at the commencement of the lease, but were not detected during the zero situation.

The aforementioned provisions are not applicable if the Lessee proves that the pollution was not consistent with its business operations during the occupation of the Leased Premises nor are due to the Lessee’s fault or negligence or that of its personnel or persons or things under its supervision or persons who the Lessee has admitted onto the Leased Premises, including users of the parking spaces, nor to any circumstance which can be attributed to the Lessee.

Article 6.8.1 first sentence and Article 6.8.2 of the General Terms and Conditions are not applicable.

Re-instatement at the end of the lease

 

22 Following termination of this Agreement the Leased Premises must be delivered to Lessor in the same state as mentioned in the Delivery Statement as well as mentioned in The Review. The Lessee will be obliged to have all damage to the Leased Premises – other than damage as a result of normal wear and tear and ageing (“normaal gebruik en slijtages en ouderdom”) – repaired by a competent professional.

Subletting

 

23 The Lessee may sublet or give into use the whole or parts of the Leased Premises to affiliated companies and to third parties associated with its business as a datacenter and office space without the Lessor’s consent. In case the Lessee wants to sublease to a company not associated with its direct business as a datacenter and office space, for example to a logistics provider, prior written approval of Lessor is required which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In case of sublease, Lessee will remain responsible for all the obligations deriving from the Agreement.

License / service agreement

 

24 In order to carry out its daily operations, the Lessee is allowed to offer services and facilities to customers, such as giving into use, via a service agreement, part(s) of the fitted out data centre, supply of several telecommunication services and giving into use, via a service agreement, office space. No consent from Lessor is required.

Assignment of the Agreement

 

25 The Lessee has the right to assign this Agreement to another party, after prior written approval from the Lessor. If the Lessee wishes to use this right, it will inform the Lessor thereof in writing and will provide all relevant information about the new lessee to the Lessor for review. The Lessor shall not delay or withhold its approval on unreasonable grounds. The Lessor will check amongst other things the morality, creditworthiness, liquidity and solvability of the new lessee as well as the capability of this new lessee to meet all obligations ensuing from the Agreement. If the new lessee is not at least equal to the Lessee with regard to one or more of the mentioned aspects, the Lessor is entitled to withhold its approval.
